Many people say that BTC has grown in adoption and use. But I think despite of this fact the popularity of bitcoin is going downwards. Here is a very interesting graphic I found which shows the number of posts with #Bitcoin on Twitter I think the graph is pretty identical with the price graph.  However I personally think there are two reasons behind the boom which came during the bull run. 1. Bounties & Bounty Hunters: During the Bull run bounty hunting was at its peak and all the bounty hunters participated heavily in twitter campaigns. Most of the tweets had some basic condition to add a few hashtags related to cryptocurrency I think that was the reason why the graph looks so tall during the bull run. 2. Trading Mentors & Media: A lot of hype was also created by all types of media around the world when they continuously posted around regarding bitcoin and how it went to moon. Moreover even every damn trader became a trade mentor because every coin was going up people gave calls blindly and became trading mentor. These mentors were giving calls on daily basis with these usual hashtags relating to bitcoin. These can be the two reasons why chart shows such a long tower in December 2017. Ofcourse the reason why the tweets will are booming is because of market condition. Once the market is in the peak of it's price, the project owner, investors and bounty hunters are very active. But as you can see the chart, in 2019 the tweets are declining the same with the market condition as the market is almost in the bottom right now. Yes the influence of that two are very active last 2017 therefore the charts is very high at that time. |

I read an article today on https://gizmodo.com What's Going to Happen With Bitcoin? Some experts posted their views. Here's my little non-expert view So what will happen to bitcoin? Bitcoin's creators have been clear that they intend this to become a currency of the future and not a speculative investment at a time when the rest of the world was struggling with stock market crashes in 2008. As noted elsewhere, It's also part of a worldwide trend toward digital money so it will continue and will survive. The fact that the Bitcoin protocol has been around for a while means that it will continue to evolve. You bet. This is one reason Bitcoin could easily become a global currency while staying true to its original intentions. However, to what extent the cryptocurrency will evolve as a payment system depends on global acceptance. But what about Google's claim to have reached quantum supremacy? History has shown us that the will of the people and the masses can never be suppressed by any new tech. Where there's a will there will always be a way. What do you all think? You have pointed out the best part of why bitcoin has existed in the first place but as you have said we still plenty of obstacles before bitcoin become the future currency. If googles claim will become reality then I am not sure if bitcoin can still adjust to it for it to continue it's goal which is to become the future currency. |

Has anyone seen this?
On coinmarketcap, historical value of bitcoin on 6th of Oct 2019 is 7,988.16 for Close.
Closing price for same date (checked on tradingview on multiple exchanges, and Bitstamp directly) was 7860 usd.
That's almost 2% increase for coinmarketcap. Wonder if they purposely screwing people...
I haven't seen this price discrepancy but maybe they have their own basis on their price and maybe Bitstamp is basing on their trading volume and coinmarketcap is basing on overall trading volume. I am not that sure though but I guess this is the case as coinmarketcap has been there for a long time that provides the utmost information about a certain coins/altcoins. |

Searching across the web. A very interesting Chart has come to my notice. I don't know who has analyzed but it says a lot about the story of bitcoin so far in a very large time frame.  The thing is on one side it is hard to digest this as we have seen a long bear phase and a lot of fake ICOs shit which has almost lifted the trust of people from this cryptocurrency market as whole. However, this analysis couldn't completely be neglected because we all know 0.5 retracements hold a pretty sacred place in every Technical Analysis. Maybe the waves don't count up it can be a correction downwards. But the whole trend line is still. Disclaimer: This chart is shrinked a little bit to prove the point if you go to trading view you won't find a chart exactly like this one but the highs and lows are all correct. Better see a logarithmic chart for better similarity. Technical analysis are very important especially if you are not yet a professional trader as it can really help you to adjust when to buy and sell your investments. Yeah I saw also that the technical analysis of the chart has a big potential to hit it's target goal (22K$) but it will be best also if there will be time frame that is included so we can at least make a good decision in the following days on what to do as I am not a professional trader yet. |

What is the average ico Maturity date?
Let's say i invest in ico Today...
How long I should wait to get decent profit?
Usually? 1 year?
Well the maturity date of ICO's will always depend to the different aspects like market condition,capability of the team behind the project,marketing strategy and etc. If for example you are going to invest in this season in which we are nearly at the bottom of market then the maturity date will surely takes too long like a year or more than of it. But there are very rare projects out there that can still pull the string even in this market condition, so if you got lucky then you can profit in a very short time like 4-6 months. |

Hi fellas i am back again to throw a question at you all, this time i want to know exactly what will happen to coins and tokens that are listed on exchanges with no volume or too low volume after market start recovering, or if altcoins start surging in value, will these exchanges automatically have volumes due to the market surge or they will stay the same  ?thanks Too low volume with a lot of buying orders is not a problem, it only means that they treasure their coins/tokens and they are not selling it yet. But with regards to no volume at all, no buying orders or the buying orders are like very cheap then that coins/tokens is the same as dead or abandoned coin. There are many reasons why altcoins are starting to surge in value either it was being hype or the demand is very high. If it was being hype then it's best that you should stay away from that altcoins if you don't want to lost your hard earned money. |

The reason why i don't like new wallets
1. They always have low users which means they have nothing new to offer,even if new users try them out,once they don't see any thing new they bounce back to their old wallet, repetitive at work
2. Many new wallets on playstore can't be trusted,they have different set of aims, some have access to your private keys but they will fool users thinking you are the only one in control of the private keys and some don't give out private keys to users,they work as online wallet
Only fools will trust their funds to the new wallet without thinking twice but if there are new wallets that has huge number of users then you can consider using it by going first to the wallet. Explore everything first before trusting them your money. Like read their terms, check their wallet securities, feedback's from users and etc. If you are contented with the results then you can deposit few bucks and use it first for few months before depositing big amounts. |

No recent transactions in block explorar
Official Website is Dead

I do not know all the coins. But I will add the ones I already know. Help me to grow the list and stop people on wasting time collecting dead coins Java Coin (JVC) - Block Explorar Dead EOT Coin (EOT) - No Active Market 007 Coin - No Active Market AIO Coin - No Active Market Your contribution is highly appreciated, it can really help the investors and the bounty hunter to not waste their time in supporting the dead coins. I am hoping that you are going to update it regularly, I will visit it daily also to gather some additional information's on what is going on to other coins. |

Several Altar Coins have gone up in price.I think the price of Altar coins will rise very soon.Past market analysis suggests that the prices of Altar coins increase slightly in December and January. Do you agree with me?
I have doubt with regards to December as there are plenty of celebrations in that month and also in January therefore there is a very less chance that the price increase will happen between that months. I am confident may in mid February 2020 but let see how the market flows as the price right now is currently pumping a little. |

It usually surprise me when I see investors complaining about a good project that didn't increase or providing returns immediately it got listed on the exchange and they term it scam or say different things like rekted.
But the truth is, are these investors investing in the project because they believe in it or are they just in it for the immediate profit and move on? Because if you are investing in a project because you believe in it then you should be willing to HODL the tokens and wait for the team to gradually deliver the project and meet its necessary roadmap before you judge it and not condemn it on its first listing.
Most of the newbie investors are investing not because they believe in the project but because they believe that they can double or multiply their investment after the tokens that they brought will hit the exchange. Because of this kind of mindset, most of the coins price will go down immediately upon reaching the exchange. Even if 60% of the investors will know the term of HODL, I am sure that any project that they will support will continue to grow especially it's price even after listing. |

I was travelling in Singapore yesterday when I chanced upon a taxi covered with Crypto.com ads all over. At the back, it says 100% rebate (?). I was not able to take a picture myself and so I tried scavenging through Google to find an image. This is not exactly it though, the one I saw had more black IIRC.  (Photo grabbed from https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D7OHKlCV4AA6fW2.jpg)
And then I found out that there is also similar crypto ads in some other cities. This one, for example, is taken in London:  (Photo grabbed from https://medium.com/eosio/a-recap-eos-headlines-london-fintech-week-2017-52bf11b6fcac)
Meanwhile, in Changi Airport, look at how HSBC is marketing itself. Crypto is indeed going mainstream.  (I took this myself.)
After seeing a couple of crypto-related ads in a single day in Singapore, something suddenly comes to my mind. What if all of these ads are promoting Bitcoin? People would be seeing Bitcoin logos everyday; in MRT, buses, malls, houses, underpasses, waiting stations, taxis, laundry shops, and practically everywhere. Would this help a lot? And those who are not familiar will get curious and would want to know more about it. This is pretty interesting how the influence of crypto currencies are spreading almost everywhere. Everytime I can see this kind of positive acceptance, I am thinking that we only need like 20-40 years before the crypto currencies will replace fiat especially that we keep on modernizing our society. Yes, it will surely help a lot because in that way the influence of crypto currencies will be spread among to those people that didn't have an idea what is it. |

It could be the best solution for the exchanges especially if they will get hack then they can still continue their operation as they are insured but I am not that sure if someone is willing to launch a crypto insurance. Being insured is the best option for the exchange to continue without worrying anything even if they will get hacked but in crypto world, everything is possible like the exchange will create an inside job just to get the insurance. So I am wondering, what will be the counter of the insurance company if they are going to step into crypto insurance. |

This stuff is getting boring.
Coinbase Pro recently raised it's fees so high as to block out ordinary traders. Binance kicked out USA traders. Bakkt is not going to be too much different as they just keep raising the bar and implementing more rules and regulations, making crypto boring. Gemini is just a greed machine too, while the people who own Gemini are already ultra ultra wealthy, and they just want to keep becoming more and more greedy.
It is just one thing after another everyday and it is all really boring news too. Bitcoin is all just a bunch of greediness and politics now a days. This is not a fun environment anymore. It is taken over by greedy exchanges that are already rich, and they do not have to be greedy either, but the people who run the shows just sorta stuck on creating this stuff I guess. It is taken over by people who's entire focus is just being greedy.
The actual cryptocurrency businesses out there that employ people are starting to get overloaded with pointless HR style jobs and soon half the industry will just be grouchy HR people, or grouchy bank people. Also the crypto businesses all require college degrees, which basically guarantees that less creative people will be in there doing anything interesting. It will be similar to how college administration departments became over run by tons of interns who are paid to just push paper and it makes college diplomas too expensive for anybody to obtain without going broke and into debt.
I also do not like all of the female-only cryptocurrency conventions and meet ups. Why are they female-only? Those are like giant planning committees that are planning to just take over and then add more and more worthless HR jobs into cryptocurrency company structure. It really sucks. It is like the whole industry is being taken over by lamo's who really do not have much interest in crypto but they can get jobs related to this stuff, and they can get in on some greedy level making everything unsustainable for everyone else.
Interesting. There is negativity in the whole community too. Try talking to anybody about your entrepreneurship concepts and everybody just throws mud on it like a bunch of Negative Ninnys.
End of rant. I am thinking of taking up a new hobby.
You have the freedom to do what you want to do, if you are not profiting from crypto industry then it will be best that you just quit or change your style. Coinbase is a well known exchange and it's kinda sad knowing that they keep on increasing their fees especially if the increase was not influenced by tax or other responsibilities that they need to abide. As what I have heard with Binance, I thought they are creating a platform that is exclusive for US traders so I am wondering if it didn't work well as you said that they are kicking your ass in their exchange. |

Ethereum has confronted an accident underneath $160 this year, learnt by The Coin Republic. It is said that this week has been unsafe for ethereum. The destruction was unforeseen of it as in the ongoing occasions ethereum was performing truly well like it generally does. It would hold a gathering in Osaka this year. The destruction was in reality a cruel blow on it. It was at that point dropped to $220 and after that to $160 per token. The following day ended up being random as the value rose to $175. Positive thinking and confidence in ethereum were reestablished in brokers. News Source: TheCoinRepublic I am not that fun with any website as source of information as it will only create a crack to your target investment to make. Some information's are useful and some information's are useless which are made just to create a fud. Yes eth goes below 160$ but it doesn't mean that it will be unsafe for ethereum already. If you have followed eth, it's bottom is like 80$ and in the reach to 350$ this year so increase is more than x4 and now it starts to fall. Once the price goes down, it is the best part to buy Eth and store them for a long term type of investment so you can make a good profit once the price will bounce back again. |

Some people have been bounty hunters for a long time (e.g, for the past 2 or3 years) and till now, they are still on the act of hunting for more altcoins.
It is true that the reward hunters now get is so small compared to what was obtainable 2 to 3 years ago and not only that, it now takes more time to be paid than it was. So, instead of complaining, why not through some of the experience you have got, since your sojourn in the crypto space, explore other means through which you can earn more and fill your portfolio.
N.B:
This might be like a vital information. There are lots of projects that did bounty campaigns (although not all), which have decided to extent the time of payment of tokens to their bounty participants. Whose tokens are growing tremendously after listing on exchange. Which means that traders and investors of projects like these get their profits before bounty hunters are paid.
DISCLAIMER:: Although, this is not an investment advice, but an observation, which i have decided to call your attention to.
It will be great also if you can suggest a good alternative aside from being a bounty hunters because if there are no other alternatives that can really help the bounty hunters then they will surely remain as bounty hunters even if it will take a lifetime. The service that you can advance aside from being a bounty hunters are as follows : marketing managers,ann & bounty managers,signature designer,community managers,programmers if you know how to code and social media members booster. But as you can see, the competition in this area are very high so there is a very little chance that you will be hired. Therefore it is very difficult to advance as a bounty hunter especially if you have no solid foundation like experience and etc. |

if I think personally a safe way to invest in cryptocurrency is :
1. the project runs according to the roadmap and whitepaper that has been made;
2. cryptocurrency that we invest in already has a product;
3. the team always updates about the progress that is happening in the project that we invest;
4. invest in project that are in the top 1-500 in coinmarketpcap (have a high volume);
5. the project we want to invest has been running for a long time (if I personally never invested in a new project), because investing in new project has a greater risk than we invest in old project.
What you are suggesting has a point but not all the investors will like it but maybe newbies and other who don't want to crumble in finding a good project to invest in will just go for your suggestion. Most of the new projects will give you a good amount of profit if you can hit the jackpot so the professional investors are keep on looking for this kind of project. The higher the risk of your investment will give you the highest return if you can hit the right project. But if you are looking for a safe investment and you don't have a problem with the long term investment then top 10 in coinmarketcap is the safest route for you. |

Just wanted to get your thoughts on this matter. Can the name of a project provide significant benefit or detriment to a project if it is appropriate/unappropriate or unattractive/attractive -sounding?
I am not sure how much of an impact it has.
Every name has an impact especially if you are using a project name that is very popular world wide. For example, you are launching a project with a name of nike. As you know, nike is well known world wide and it can give positive response the investors especially if the nike company will honor the launching of that certain currency. So it's better that you should choose the best name that is very appealing to the investors if you like to launch your own project. |

The more new coins that are present in the crypto market, will certainly enliven the crypto world. My question is how do you look at the future of the altcoin, with fairly tight competition. Will it affect the price of old altcoins, such as Ethereum, XRP and others.
It will not affect the old altcoins as long as the old coins are still continuing their development and continuous to market their product. A productive team will always make their project active and competitive even if it will takes years of tight competition. A solid project with active team will always have a bright future especially in altcoins. |

Over 850 millions of people use alipay as means of payment mostly in china and i heard lots about wepay as well, i come to think of it that what if bitcoin was been used in their places instead? if alipay and wepay can get to where they are today then altcoins have all the chances of survival as well. Wepay and Alipay are just online payment solution, crypto can do better.
Real use cases plus real life working products, let these two be your main focus when picking altcoins to invest your money on, do not listen to those saying 'dump altcoins for bitcoin' when you are holding solid altcoins
Yes you are right but they have to reconsider also different aspects before they will move to bitcoin payment. I am sure Wepay, Alipay and other services out there, they are plenty of problems that they are going to face before they will accept bitcoin. Like the volatility of bitcoin price, I am pretty sure that they are worried about it especially if they cannot bear the price fall of any currencies that they like to use. But if they can take the risk then it will surely help the bitcoin to become more successful in history. |

Hi guys, I'm looking at 2 major support lines which I think will be very important for the immediate future for Bitcoin. As well looking at a short position when we break it. Check the analysis at : https://youtu.be/k_vwzCvJcJcIn the video from 2 days ago, there is a swing trade with possibilities to increase your BTC holdings by 5-10X be sure to check it out! It's good to share some knowledge and input about the incoming increase or tip that can help the investors to decide wisely. But as what I saw to your post, there is a big possibility that you are only promoting your youtube channel to gain some views though I am not against with it but it will be better if you just summarize your video and put all the important details here. Because knowing the possibilities of price increase will surely gain a lot of audience especially that you are talking about 5-10x in which for me, it will take like 8months-1year before we can hit it base on the current price of bitcoin right now. |
