I don't think so that there is a manipulation of bitcoin, because whales can't do that they are not the owner of bitcoin itself, However, I do believe that they do dumping bitcoin but I don't know the reason why so others taught that it is manipulation. If big investors has that huge amount of bitcoin then the law of supply and demand maybe gets hot and interesting, whales have bigger amount than local users so whales are also supporters the small support they throw then price gets affected. Just only a perspective since I don't believe on manipulators.

My first campaign manager was strawbabies but definitely that manager needs a lot to understand the whole forum's rules and regulations, 2nd was yahoo62278, base on my own experience This manager is Great, in other words full package, Skilled, project advisor, at the same time a manager that has a very wide understanding checking always the situation to deal with participants who does not read. Third is, Frank Noland, a manager wherein you have to fix His time and needs more experience.

It is not an instant way to feel the hike in the market, there are pros and con's in it, and to be technical it's not the news that makes the market go in a green line, it's the supporters and investors who trust the idea of crypto currency and applying through making the money roll by trading, or in investing. As long as news gets in the media it doesn't mean it will be implemented as soon as possible it will go through a discussion to be implemented

I really don't like cloud miners, before I enter the forum I have tried those kind of ponzi schemes, if they can mine crypto then why not do it themselves, that's the best lesson for me, somehow I prefer new HYIP websites, if a HYIP website start running this day then it's good to invest even just small amount and request for payout after 2-3 days, and then don't invest again, it'll be scam in the future, investing is a mind game.

The very best solution to that is don't trust the developers if the project created is a first timer and the names of the developers are first known to investors, good developers have real followers the popular and trusted of the developer of the project for sure the more investors there are and then you can join within, the more the supporters and investors a token/coin is solid.

A very interesting topic causes to caught the attention of posters but not all are quality, I think the very solution to the thread you are pointing to is to limit the page, I don't know how to give the satisfying answer for that but limiting the page  from one thread is the best solution to your inquiry, posts from 6-10 page is quite informative and educative to those who have question.

Merit feature Is not flawed based on my own opinion, we can not 100% be sure that there are no negative sides about that new implementation and it is really difficult to get one, the very big reason to it is about the post no other than, and the best part is the positive side is you can check the merit points of a certain user if he really deserves that merit and distinguish that he/sher really contributed to the forum. however, i ain't saying all.

This is somewhat an idea which would be like the most of the common user of crypto but to whales this is not a good idea, if you are regulating some thing then you should hover all of the information regarding to transaction and the blockchain will be widely open, whales doesn't support the way that clearer transparency should be regulated. We are decentralized, but there are countries working it to be centralized.

There is some latest thread regarding about bitcoin news on the bitcoin discussion "press" section, Check the given link and you can read some information pertaining to your questions, if your online everyday then you can read there everyday for less hassle, that is just only an alternative way to find some accurate news because not all news are accurate, I have suggested it because there are given links above my post (if your not contented to the news within those links).

I don't invest on any ICO that is not Handled by campaign manager yahoo62278, it is so very hard to pick legit and trusted ICO with a working product and has a potential for long term HODL or any other services, it's sounds weird to others but it is just my assurance because manager yahoo62278 doesn't pick a shit project ICO. That's all.

All your post starting from this post shows you really are poor of information, You wanna support bitcoin for real? then go sell all you have and become a whale who can invest above one billion and make the price of  bitcoin surpass to it's last peak almost 20K dollars. If you really want to support bitcoin then do a very Good marketing strategy to it. your spreading false positive vibes.

Yes That is true and that is one of the reason why few months ago bitcoin and other crypto currencies price fluctuates into downfall and the market got really on the red surge, but after that, there are many news that in some part of First world countries there are facilities where build in connection to adapt the idea of cryptocurrency. if you have crypto's and you are from india i suggest you to cash out peer to peer from other country.

Mate you are going to attend a non free conference except if you are a VIP. or you won some free tickets. every conference need to have a very educated person who talks an information regarding to crypto industry so you need to pay for it, (everyhing's got a price mate). ICO conference are held within a certain place when they know that there are big investors who want to be partnered with the project and in order for the project be announce clearly to what would be the platform. a conference is different from a party. Crypto is valuable, so it's either you want to learn something and earn from it or otherwise not take the opportunity to learn new informations and strategy.

all of those in the chart is centralized except bitcoin, when talking to the value even dollar can't be on the same level of bitcoin, 1 dollar is equivalent to 50 pesos only (in philippines) but 1 bitcoin is almost half million, let's say 500,000 peso ( philippine money), i think The title of the thread should not be 6th largest currency but "bitcoin is one of the valuable currency". all over the virtual and real money industry. 

This is why i really prefer to join bounty or sig campaigns which is handled by manager yahoo, as far as i know, manager yahoo62278 only picks good and trusted bounty developers, if a bounty is kinda shady for him, he won't let it run for a long time, close the advertisement of the project easy as that. a good deal to choose good bounty programs is to define what is the experience and the work of the bounty manager.

Really accurate that OP is a real fud, Suggest other viewers not to click that link or else you'll see tons of ads and if you accidentally click maybe you'll end up to a phishing link. no one on earth can decide whether any crypto will go to its downfall or to it's summit rise, in my own opinion it is base upon the law fd demand and supply, and supporters.

There are so many people who continue to doubt crypto currency but of course you can not use it freely when your country illegalize crypto currency but there are many users of it in incognito mode. if crypto currency can cause fall down to a certain country then JAPAN, Russia and many first world country will not adopt the idea. and for you to know, being able to use crypto currency is upon your shoulder's risk. don't mind fraudulent news, mind your own decision and be wise.

Payment Received Thank you manager Yahoo62278, GOD RICHLY BLESS YOU.

P.S. You Are the best Manager Kudos.

it doesn't matter at all when they try to market BCH as Bitcoin, they will also get affected when bitcoin price decrease also altcoin will follow, and it is not the problem of bitcoin, base on the information above my post that there is some litte trick about mislead information about split coin of bitcoin which is BCH, but it's not the real problem tho. the problem is within the buyers, they must know how to distinguish the real one (king) rather than BCH.

Exchange site is use to trade crypto (bitcoin and altcoins) not for storing it. If you have that many crypto then make more account in different exchange and trade it if you want to. If you want to keep your valuable coins and want to HODL it then I suggest you to buy hardware wallet such as trezor or ledger.
