I think the max supply issue is just one of the many reasons why a project's coin/token cannot improve their price much compared to other coins/tokens that much lesser supply, another possible reason is the coin/token utilization, like product and services, for example, the ripple's XRP coin with a max supply of 100 Billion and currently traded at 0.178 cents because XRP is a cross border payment solution it has a mainstream use and demand thats why beside of its huge total supply it was successfully withholding its price and value so IMHO, max supply is not that important compared to the utilization and use case.

I suspected that you're just shilling that project CurioInvest" But I will ride your trip, I wasn't able to determine if that project is legitimate or scam because I do not check or even visit their website, not even read the project whitepaper, roadmaps, tokenomics, etc. by the way, It's your job to check all of those necessary and important piece of information about that project before you are going to invest and regarding the profitability, anybody cannot gives you a guarantee about profit, in short, we are simply speculating the outcome of any project. but if that project has a good team reputation including its fundamentals, product, and services that can drive the demand of their token will thats might be a 50/50 chance of profit but that was only base on my opinion, and I'm not an expert about it.

That was also my experience in Ethereum transaction nowadays, I'm using and Ethereum wallet that suggesting the right gas fees that suitable for my transaction needs. A faster transaction requires higher gas fees and slower transactions require lower gas fees. but it takes time to confirm, thats why in my experience I rather choose much higher gas fees as long as my transaction will confirm in early time as possible. but still depends on the individuals who made those transactions if they want faster transactions or the slower one.

I think some other bounty campaigns have already done that idea, Paid in liquid cryptocurrencies such as BTC, ETH, XRP But only those projects that have substantial funds because most of the projects nowadays are just run on very limited fundings thats why they choose to pay in their native tokens. In the crypto industry no other marketing promotion that accepting non-liquid cryptocurrency(not yet listed on any exchange) except the bounty campaigns, and bounty hunters were the cheapest project promoters in the industry, but in the end, we just abused and not being paid, I was experiencing it in DigitalBits Bounty Campaign after waiting for almost one year of delays after that long period we are mock by calling names, submitted our KYC 2 times but still, nothing happens and the team was ignoring us.

I have nothing against Ethereum but base on your question if Ethereum was able to leave again with its current 3 figure value, my answer is I don't think so, I believe that Eth price grows further but it will not leave the 3 figure level. those Jan 2018 figure was very difficult to achieve especially in our present situation that the global economy was hit badly due to the COVID19 pandemic.

Sometimes people are just joking and we should not take it seriously as the base of truth. if someone calls a particular coin/token as a *Shitcoin maybe he/she has the reason about it, but it doesn't mean that it's true, we are bound by our understanding why we should call any coin/token as *Shitcoin for me I will categorize a coin/token as *Shitcoin if the coin/token has no real use case/utilization to create and drive the demand of that particular coin/token that was resulted to dump its price. and that was my opinion!

Interesting how is that possible, Blockchain is very transparent technology, every successful transaction can be seen and recorder, how could it be encrypted, thats impossible USDTether is using a different  Blockchain namely ERC20 from Ethereum, OMNI from Bitcoin, TRC20 from TRON you can track and check even from this Blockchains if the transaction was made Unless you're making a mistake by sending it to the wrong address or even those unsupported one.

I think it depends on the situation those exit scam projects that raised only a small amount of money will have a chance to coming back with another identity and project name, Because the pure reason was only the money But for those scammers that raise a big amount of money during the ICO I don't think it will come back for sure they having a good time now spending those millions out of investors money.

I believe in Bitcoin and Litecoin too, but predicting the price of 100K dollars per bitcoin is very impossible to happen and it will not happen even in our lifetime. you know why because if the price of Bitcoin reaches in that peak only those multi-millionaires can afford to buy and the ordinary crypto investors like us cannot afford it, thats why I don't believe in that fairytale prediction so we better leave that in our backyard and go back into reality.

I think the improvements in Tron 4.0 will give a boost to the current price of TRX coin because most of the time the price will react if there is major news or an official announcement regarding the development of the project. since Tron 4.0 development is another achievement of the Tron ecosystem It will be a major event and I'm sure it will impact the price of TRX coin.

The popularity of Defi is all over the crypto space, thats why it was hot to the eyes of those scammers. who knows that some fraudsters are on the way to launch a "fake Defi platform in an attempt to scam people", thats why don't keep your guards down protect your hard-earned money from the possible scams in Defi platforms. if possible check every detail about that project that you want to invest if it is legitimate and not a fraud.    

If PayPal wants to implement that kind of service, I think they can because they have all the resources to make it happen. But are you sure about that information, is that reliable? or just gossip, Because as I remember Paypal was backed out in the Calibra project because of many problems involving crypto and other legal scrutiny, thats why I doubt that information. so for now, just wait and see, for what will happens next.   

It seems that many Eth users are already pissed by this kind of problem in the Ethereum Network. Even me I have also some unconfirmed transactions until now. with this kind of situation, the advantage is only for the miners, I hope it will resolve soon to ease the burden of Eth users. For me, there was no Immediate solution to fix this problem except paying the proposed gas fee to fasten the transaction. or just wait for the full implementation of the Ethereum 2.0 update.

Aside from DIGIX, there is another platform that showing great potential, and it was the GOLD TOKEN issued and operated by DIGITAL GOLD LTD. a company incorporated in St. Vincent and Grenadines. each token that was minted is certified backed with 1 gram of pure Physical Gold 99.99 purity. and It was also audited by ChainSecurity one of the world's best in blockchain security. The GOLD TOKEN is also promoting transparency thats why anyone can access the real-time Gold deposit data at BulleonStar Vault base in Singapore. for more information just visit https://gold.storage/en/audits  anyone can confirm the Physical Gold Deposit including its serial numbers of each PAMP Gold Cast Bars. GOLD TOKEN is an Ethereum ERC20 standard token and It's currently traded in the following exchanges:

I don't use Ethplorer at all, because I'm an Etherscan user since then. but I think both are still useful to the Ethereum and Eth based ERC20 token users maybe there are differences about there services but overall they are very useful to the Ethereum users and the community.

Yes, I believe in crypto ratings, but it depends on a purpose, But I think both rating agencies are using a different methodology when in terms of ranking cryptocurrencies. But I'm not sure about it, maybe the Chinese rating agency *CCID has their own requirements and Bitcoin failed to prove it. thats why they rank Bitcoin much lower compare to other coins.  It is also the same on WeissRating But in different methods.

http://That also happened to me in recent days, my transaction was stuck up to 12 hours, because I did not check and follow the proposed safe gas price, But it changes now because I already follow the safe gas limit that was supplied with my wallet. I'm using 3 different wallets at a time but I like the *Imtoken wallet's 3 different sending options namely:  Fast, General, Slow after you send a transaction, and still not yet confirmed you can *accelerate it to confirm faster.

Yes, the hype is very much alive in the Compound project, tag as one of the numerous projects that offered a Defi decentralized finance options, now it was listed on the multiple decent volume exchanges the latest is Kucoin, I hope that people are still aware that too much hype, is not good especially in the crypto industry as I observe the price continued to decline after listed on Binance lets see what happens next after the Kucoin listing.

I think it has no real purpose at all. but just like a pump and dump scheme, just like the Bomb deflationary token. Like any other deflationary token after all of its supply was burn it will be gone. but sometimes it will depend on the deflation design of any particular project. sometimes they have limit a small portion of that circulating supply to be permanent circulation in the platform.

The crypto industry has overwhelmed again with the hype that created by those so-called Defi or Decentralized Finance crazed, I think it has no difference at all because it was, all the same, its cryptocurrency that promotes a decentralized finance option, marketplace, etc. so what was the difference all of that function such as lending, financing, etc have already existed in the market offered by several crypto platforms so why it needs for rebranding I'm still doubting about it. and still exploring about Defi.
