The same reason why so many ecurrencies have not displaced PayPal since. The answer is simple. Many people use bitcoin and trust bitcoin more than any other crypto. In fact the price of most altcoin are traded and lock to BTC as you can see in many exchange platform. Bitcoin as the oldest crypto, has the potential of being used as total and can easily be compare to a legal tender. Many altcoin cannot be use other than what it is being created for

Have been looking around to find a PhD scholarship in Chemical engineering related field. However, I am very overwhelm to see that many universities especially in Europe are offering scholarship for blockchain related field. Most importantly, Denmark. Sweden and Switzerland. Hopefully, we shall see more of the adoption in Australia and America. Africa is lagging behind a lot as no institutions I know that give blockchain a hedge  but all the same, it means crypto adoption is getting more interesting

You mean you sell at discounted rate because I don't remember when 1 btc was $3000 at the beginning of this year. However, what happened to you is understandable. Any responsible man will do that for his family. It seems you have not seen how btc is being priced and spent early 2010. I read here on bitcointalk yesterday from a post back then in 2010 when someone is offering to pay 10000BTC for two large pizza. I am just imagine what will be going through the mind of the person up till today when he remembers the worth of btc now

There are many gaming project that incorporate blockchain technology into gaming but the core features of the designs are still lacking block chain. What many of them use block chain technology to make payment and also store gaming data. Deep learning language and Artificial intelligence are few of other technology that major core game development used especially most of the game being developed at the 21 century. I will be glad to see a game that use block chain technology at least 95%

Latoken is really a joke. No wonder many scam project dev patronized them. They do not delist dead projects and they have been alleged to be faking trading volume. They are big for nothing. Funny thing, they have started building a DEX platform. I think they are deliberately copying binance style  instead of rebranding the platform. These collections of exchange that offer IEO will help some new project to make good decision and safe them from the risk of getting listed in joke exchange platform.

Of course, it will have a tremendous effect on the coin. low trading volume and also token holders and many investors will be scare to wanna buy the tokens. However, I discover most time, when reputable exchange platform calls for delisting of the tokens, it is most time due to the fact that most of those projects are dead or turn to scam. Such platform does not like listing tokens that have zero trading volumes in 24 hours for so many weeks. Literarily, it makes the platform look substandard

Depending on how you intend to go about it and also your budget. If you have an idea but you do not have the capital to even take care of half of the project, forget about it because you are going to end up creating a project that will turn out to be dead later just like many useless projects out there. There are many freelance platforms that have many professionals from different fields. Elance, freelancers etc are few of such platform. However, when you are recruiting, make sure you recruited people that reside in the same country as yours or nearer because that will really save cost and give better team management.

I have had yahoo62278 saying in one telegram page that he has proofs that many projects that launch bounty campaign get their token dumped and literally it means most hunters dump their token but also from experience, even when hunters tokens are locked, token still get dumped. XCT token is a primary example of this. My conclusion is that there are many factors that responsible to token getting dumped but dev team are the major contributor to the dump in price because they are the one that supposes to protect everyone including token dump. Some project even offers up to 90% bonus for purchasing a token.

This has become the fall back lies that most project dev tell their investors now. It is laughable that same project dev allocate the same amount to bounty campaign. Are they telling us they don't know what they are doing. From experience, many project that do not have existing products or services that propels demand for the token before being listed on exchange will result in price dump because nobody will buy token that do not have use.

Please be careful when you are thinking about going for gambling because the outcome is always terrible. I have read so many posts about depression coming in as a result of lost of money to gambling and the worst thing about gambling is that when you start, you may not like to stop even when you keep losing money. Trading is far better. Although it is risky too but less risky compare to gambling. All you need to do is to keep an eye on two or more coin and trade them.

Without any reasonable doubt, binance ieo is far better than huobi. You may be thinking that both platform have almost the same design and api integration, but binance has a huge numbers of investors that participate in any IEO that is listed on the platform. In fact there are some traders that are always looking towards any project being listed on the platform for IEO. Due to wide gap in term of trust that binance has built compare to huobi, they remain the best.

Many of the projects just have someone that thinks he has an idea of how to do something but lacks the basic skills and competence so he just go forward and starts looking for people. From my experience, many of them go to large freelance websites to look for people to work with them and when things get hard and hard, the so call team will start to leave one after the other until you see one day that the so-called CEO is the new admin manager of the project telegram group. BNOW, Kickcity, infracoin, Productivist, all end this way  

well to start with, I do not totally understand what you mean you can tell your bank to recall back the payment you make online. what if the scammer has withdrawn the money from the account? Now back to your question, One of the worst mistake people make online is not doing research on targeting shopping site before buying. There are thousands of fake and scam ecommerce website on the internet. it is your duty to check for legitimate one before proceeding to make business. Finally, It is not possible to get back your coin since the transaction is done. Sorry for your loss.

well, depending on the exchange you wish to use because each exchange platform have transaction charges when you are trading and making a withdrawal but since you have categorically talked about BTC, I will advise you to go with Binance. They are renowned crypto exchange platform and the transaction fee they charge is very small compare hundreds of other exchange platform. However, since I have used and still using them, then I can recommend them. I am also going to believe you understand the volatility of the crypto.

I hope you know you need to do background check on the project that own the token you want to buy before you do because there are some dead project that still exist in the market. Many of them are available in some exchange platform like Latoken. BNOW is example. The project is dead so you may be thinking the price is cheap without known is a trap. well if you are looking for token to invest, I will advice you keep an eye on AIGO token. Although the project is still undergoing token sales. APH and MB8 coin are good coin to invest in.

If you want to be a successful bounty hunter, then you need to show perseverance. What happened to you is what is very common. especially now that many projects are becoming scam but the most important thing you did not add to your post the bounty name. When I was very new here on bitcointalk, the first thing I learn is to look for some old members with high experience in chosing and doing bounty campaign. So I start following them. Now that I am a Full Member, I have learn a lot and still learning. What happened to you should be taking as lesson and do not let you distract you from doing bounty campaign.

IEO does not determine how profitable the project is when you invest. the reason why people prefer IEO than ICO is because of the multiple scams that is associated with ICO. Investors believe IEO will bring much need protection from Scam ICO that are very common. What determines the profitability is the usability of the token you buy. If it is something that will be much be demanded, then you will make a profit. This mean your profitability is also tie to the hardwork and perseverance of the dev team

the word 'anonymity' could not have existed if not because people are tired of rates at which government want to know everything about people. How will you feel if someone even know you more than you know yourself . People are really opting for anonymity because they think there is a need for them to be protected. my major concern is are we truly anonymous? many projects preach anonymity yet they want us to provide our identity for kyc. If truly an 100% anonymity exists, the world could have become a better place.

you term hodling as laziness I do not think this is true. you know not everybody take crypto investment as the only source of income. some still do other work so they may not be able to devote their time to trading. However, trading is not something easy. even during those period when crypto price went up, some people are still losing money to daily trading. If you want to be a crypto trader, you will have to know A to Z of trading. including the positive and negative part of it. Nothing good come easy. you have to labour first before you start thinking of success.

Some exchange platform like liquid allows the use of your credit card to buy crypto directly. All you need to do is to complete the kyc verification in order to be compliance with AML. I have used indacoin before. They are also very good. you can buy directly using your credit card without any problem but the only limitation there is that you can only buy ETH or BTC. I am very sure there are still many centralized trusted crypto exchange platform that allow purchase of crypto using fiat.
