To be frank, I don't know how to even judge my feelings on that now that I've seen my allocation. It wasn't what I expected. I don't know how the project graded its allocations to arrive at such meagre distribution and what the listing price will be. I got slightly less than 50 CATs. Catizen was one of the few airdrops I actually did a few transactions to upgrade my level. Anyway, I hope the price is good at listing.

I believe you know the extent of what any presidential election in the US means to the world and that's why whatever frontrunners say, in a way, also impacts the globe. Even before winning this election (hopefully, he does) whatever Trump's comments are on cryptocurrency will shape the way certain investors throw around their money on it. For now, his body language is suggestive of his backing. Quite alright, he may not be sitting in the White House now but that doesn't deminish his impact. Some people may even gauge his perspective on this from the angle of him being an astute businessman and not necessarily as a political figure.

Experience has taught me not to sell all, especially at a time like we've now with the bull run in place. The only time I can take all profit during this time is at token distribution and I see how massively the project is distributing 80% to 100% of their all. I don't just sell all and walk away. I sell all to find a way of buying back the dump. As speculators, we should always expect price dump at token distribution, whether it's airdropped, presale or regular; those who had tokens ahead usually dump to (sometimes) buy back. I've been using this buy back mechanism and it's really profitable.

That's why I see it as more or less of an instinct than skills when it comes to choosing a winning team/game. It's instinct and luck. There's no level of skill that can make anyone know what another person has going on in their mind and that's why outcome of games depend on luck and chance.

That's the best way to go about it. Just chill and see it as a leisure than as, "a must win situation thing". That way, one isn't pressured into anything and addiction is put under control.

I always find a way to take profit. Don't leave all on the table. No matter how excited you become when you see those price spike translating into profit on your dashboard, don't just take screenshots; take partial profit and leave a moon bag. That's how I've been keeping at it.

Don't go that way of joining pump signal groups or channels. Their administrators most times make calls based on tokens they already had or they buy first before making the calls. That way, once you buy in they can dump on you. Learn the skills of trading for yourself. It's a better way and you will see this benefit in time to come.

Profit making is the essence of pumps. Nothing more.

Your last sentence is the catch for me. Nicely done. In addition, I believe price is the way it's right now simply because this is a bull year. Otherwise, recession would've dragged it down to a panic state. So, despite the weakness in the market investors are depending on the trend with assurance that market outlook will revert and do awesomely well soon.

Again, OP should realize that we're not yet done with bull circle. $100k isn't a hurdle to climb for Bitcoin. We saw how it rose from around $42k and did >$70k within a short time. It can still do more than that again before the end of this year.

The huge subscriber base is enough discouragement to farm it for those who are having a look into doing so as the project listing is already at the corner. It's going to be so many people dragging a few tokens allotted to a mammoth crowd. It's not likely to be something that will hit the airwave for good reviews and stories.

I think the Bybit hiccup was a surreptitiously done sharp practice from the backend. Those who used Bybit for receiving during Notcoin TGE also faced the same issue those who used them for Dogs faced. I believe it wasn't an honest mistake. It was deliberately done. Even till date those who made use of Bybit haven't received their promised Dogs for choosing to deposit there.

The casino thing is a recent experience in gambling. It used to be the old traditional way with people gathering around to play cards or other traditional games at their leisure time. Any gambler who's as old as 40 years would possibility had played one of such games in their neighbourhood because those games used to be the in-thing in the 1980s/90s. We still find them till date in remote places without much exposure to the internet or civilization.

I enjoyed playing Whot. Ludo was (is) a bore for me. My best was draughts. This day, casinos have made gambling easier and closer home to such a point that one can indulge in them without leaving the comfort of one's home. Without the internet, the world would still be groping in the dark.

There's a possibility to that, especially if we take into cognizance that several new skills are being taught now in schools unlike before; whether formal or informal. Perhaps we can have all that in the near future and that will be of benefit to those who go into gambling. Trading and gambling may not be the same actually, but if one is taught is schools and at seminars; the other should equally be taught too. Doing this will further expose the vice in gambling and make it a hub just the way trading is. It will also tackle and address gambling addiction.

That's the expression I looked for while running through the OP. I mean it doesn't make any sense if he will be selling now that price isn't bullish while he could just week a few weeks and max out on the same thing.

OP, I don't know the part that qualified him as the new John McAfee by your books. Sounds more like the good man with
the ladies thing, huh or the wavering position? Nice picture angle, though.

I wouldn't blame memes for anything unpleasant that we may perceive happening in this industry. The meme idea isn't a bad one to start with if one knows what one is doing. Memes have really helped to onboard so many people into this space. They've caused noticeable cash inflow into this industry and a lot of mentioning in the global economy. Look at what's even happening with the tap2earn telegram mini bot projects and how the market is getting flooded by memes from that angle. What about the BRC20 and the DRCs? Memes, to the best of my knowledge, brought much attention to this industry this bull season.

I see Dogs beyond being just a memetoken. It's likely to stand strong like Dogecoin which came as a joke but has stayed till date. Dogs has enjoyed the same tremendous support from Ton Blockchain like its counterpart, Notcoin. We know how well Notcoin has faired so far. It's a success story everywhere. I'm sure there are going to be incentives and further giveaways from the project to those still hodling/staking and trading it in weeks to come. Notcoin did that and it's still doing it till date.

I believe there will be staking pools for Dogs like Notcoin. Let's just continue to hodl. If you're good at trading, you can do your buying and selling on it to increase your statch while waiting for staking pools to be announced.

Your advice there is not just hilarious but a financial suicide if anyone took it. Memes shouldn't in anyway be considered a kind of hedge for wealth preservation. If it happens by stroke of luck, it happens. It should not be anyone's Plan A to "store wealth". Investment in meme is the riskiest in cryptos.

Newbies shouldn't heed your advice. In fact, it's not advisable for crypto noobs to trade on memes let alone use them as avenue to preserve their hard earned money. They're more likely to lose all than profit from it.

Serial investors will prefer bear season as that's when they play their cards of accumulating from paper hands. This may not be so for those on the other side of the divide who've the mindset that crypto is a shortcut to riches. Anyway, cryptos isn't. It's just an industry with so much unpredictability seeking escape for expression. Many have been lucky to enjoy that but there's no certainty to it that every investment in cryptos should turn a winner.

For me, I like a blend of both bear and bull at their expected time. As it's right, no matter any level of dump the market takes right now I'm not perturbed because I know it's not the time for the bear. If anything, it should energize me to DCA on my favourite projects. So, both bear and bull are necessary. We shouldn't see one as an omen.

Yeah, you should also add LostDogs in the mix. The final game is today, September 11th with an expectation to be listed this week if things go as planned. I followed most of the stories, after I caught the bug. Interesting stories from the Dog town, I must confess. I did win some predictions and gained some Woofs. From what I've observed, Blum also seems a very promising project too. Hopefully, the referral thing won't be used as a major yardstick for assessment. I hardly get referrals for my engagements.

This year is indeed a season of tap-tap harvest. We aren't having just mere airdrops but the way these airdrops are hitting the market that's fascinating. This is the beauty to this year's bull run. It's going to be explosive, I'm sure.

I relaxed my energy on Tapswap when I discovered the project didn't have the liquidity to float its distribution and the way it was also farming hunters through SM subscriptions. Memefi is okay by my evaluation and I will follow through to its listing.

Here's why I've yet to come around using bots in my trades. I'm always scared hard with that mindset of something could happen while I'm not watching. I can set a pending order for buy or sell and it doesn't go beyond that; it won't be for more than a trade. That trade should be one that I'm pressed to take because of its nice setup which I would've spend some time monitoring and don't want to miss. Otherwise, I steer off charts. Als don't have emotions like I do, they only rely on data.

The limited number of games for live matches and the fact that there is off season is what makes it appealing to me. I don't want to always be seen in virtual games or seen scrolling over betting sites on my phone always in search of what game to play. That can be addictive. For me, too much of anything kills my interest. Again, live matches afford one the opportunity of getting a feel of the real thing, not some computer generated pseudo. Except for the fun of it that would make me play virtual games, I rather played in casinos if I can't get live games to bet on.

I've witnessed about three memetokens launched by celebrities in my country and all three of them dumped like mad. For those celebrities, scamming people that way is cruise and that's because they know (feel) they can get away with it without any serious punishment. I won't allow myself buy memes or whatsoever tokens that are supported or launched by celebrities who aren't experts in the cryptocurrency space. That's the best way for me to safeguard my little capital. I made that mistake in the past but I can't allow myself to exercise that ignorance now.

I'm not sure moderators are interested in locking this thread. The number of pages it has gathered since its OP attestate to that. Even, for the fact that several days after you reported it no action had still been taken on it shows moderators don't want to lock it. Well, maybe they're letting it run because of its comic relief reading through some of the hilarious and absurd comments there are here.

You're right about this, especially the opening avenue of signups for relatively popular exchanges as mentioned above. I never used those exchanges until all this telegram bot tapping stuff came up and some of those mining apps compelled users to use those exchanges.

To show how the Tap2earn crave has caught so much like a wildfire, long term projects that didn't start with that are now including it in their plans. However, airdroppers have to be weary of what projects they follow. They should do their due diligence before they start tapping. Burning data to tap and farm those projects should be seen and taken as a big deal and mustn't be wasted like that. Time is money.
