1381  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH is going up day by day.. on: July 25, 2020, 06:25:54 PM
......
The price have also break new yearly high, eth is absolute gem for Investment. I am sure it is all set to break $300k barrier some interesting story is about to come in this crypto market, let's wait and watch...
With this current  spike in ethereum price, we're going to see something good which mean price beyond the $300. This year is for mostly ethereum and partly for bitcoin, this latest spike will definitely shoot the price of Bitcoin and ethereum higher than expected. Barriers are been broken as cryptocurrency ready to see another all time high.

The change in the way prices moves is actually shows that the crypto market is maturing. Investors now just don't jump in but analyze every coin they intend to invest in. If you look at the coin's price and their 24  hour change, some coins has achieved good growth while most of the coins haven't moved at all and a small number of coins price are actually decreasing.
1382  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Russia legalizing Bitcoin and cryptos but not allowed as payment method? on: July 25, 2020, 08:31:59 AM
Their concern is same as every government. They want full control over the money in the nation. Taxes are one of the largest income for the government and going crypto may make it easier to hide a trade ever happen or ever got paid.
The reason they want crypto are also the same. The government don't want people and other nation what trades and payments they are doing nationally and internationally. It's also a tool to escape embargo on Russia.
1383  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: PayPal are reportedly planning to bring crypto to it's users using Paxos. on: July 24, 2020, 04:02:26 PM
That is a safe bet as they don't have to actually deal with crypto while get a commission for making people use paxos. And paxos also has relatively better range of stablecoins that goes well with Paypal business modal. It would be a win win for both Paxos and Paypal while Paypal bound users would be able to easily get into crypto world.
1384  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Pi Network is at 5 million users on: July 24, 2020, 06:28:37 AM
I was aware of Pi and had installed and unistalled the app last year. But now there's a surge in users trying to get pi referrals through social networks. Facebook and TikToks are filled with Pi. Many people who have not even heard about cryptocurrency are talking about pi. It may be a good oppurtunity for peple to learn about the perks of crypto and I also hope that pi won't ruing their first expectations from a so called crypto.
1385  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin might never reach it's ATH anymore on: July 24, 2020, 04:29:22 AM
This is indeed a probability people should accept. There might be higher probability of a new ATH but it doesn't mean it would be the only option.
Though there are some good reasons for bitcoin to rise but there are plenty more that may hamper it's price. With new coins coming out plenty with better transaction speed and fees. Many people may move out of bitcoin to use the coin they prefer. This may lead bitcoin to maintain a price below ATH.
1386  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH Testnet finally less than 2 weeks, ETH Dominance 10%...Are YOU ready? on: July 23, 2020, 09:28:21 AM
$263!

10%+ Market Dominance....
$250  Broken....

Do I hear a starting gun? Or am I crazy?
You hear brrrrrrrrrrrrrr?

I'm still holding and waiting for its release to become stable. I wouldn't dump although I'm sure that there's going to be a dump after this positive that we're getting.

I'm too bullish for the Ethereum re launch. I have been following them for some time and they seem to be doing the right things. There will be much more buy after the launch as people would jump into creating nodes for the network. If the launch is smooth, transaction time made quicker and fees lesser, Ethereum would have another boom with the help of dapps and dex.
1387  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Never invest in any cryptocurrencies! on: July 22, 2020, 04:31:05 AM
There are many approaches towards cryptocurrency and every of them are important in their own way. Crypto is now a diverse technology that may or may not involve money. Even the coins with value are of different nature and approach. Most of the new coins comes with some utilities, some are STO or acts as stocks or bonds to some business. Some are just speculative. Similarly there are differences on how people approaches crypto. Some buy it for utility and ease of use, some are here for the profit while some are just trying new technology. I don't think we should generalize every crypto and their difference in approach attracts different group of people.
1388  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How possible is it to make a living trading cryptocurrencies alone? on: July 21, 2020, 09:54:31 AM
There are several people living on crypto trading alone. They also seem to be active on other activities but their major income is from crypto trading. Unlike stock tradings, crypto trading is much more flexible and could be easily automated to make trades according to your need. A good trader would use a trading bot with their own custom script to make automated profit that just needs some inspection otherwise are auto money generating machines. But for most new traders, resigning your job and jumping into crypto would not be a good idea.
1389  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: It's always about your choice on: July 20, 2020, 09:16:01 AM
All parties involved have some form of responsibility but being self aware and researching properly before taking a decision would surely make your chances of not getting paid lower.
Bounty manager still have a role to play, they are the ones with direct contact with the team and they can better predict the legitimacy of the project. They can ask for an escrow as an insurance. They can let users know about the situation of the project and stop it if they found any red flags on the project.
1390  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Fill your bag with caution on: July 20, 2020, 07:45:24 AM
Also decide according to you holding/trading strategy. How long are you going to hold it. Where do you expect it after the period you are aiming to hold.
Any popular coins could be an opportunity if you are going to hold for a short term as the market keeps on fluctuating. But if you are to hold for years maybe over a decade than you should well think of what to hold. Buying coins for their future update and holding them for some months and selling when you get a good price is also a safer strategy.
1391  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Twitter hacked account. Details about what really happened on: July 19, 2020, 09:42:32 AM
I worked before as I technical support staff, so we have access to the system, so we all know that the first lesson is not to engage to anyone from outside, otherwise its a recipe for a disaster, which eventually happen. You will always treat in like outside threat, and now that it seems Twitter has been exposed already. Maybe they just used this "Social Engineering" term, but it has more to it, I guess.
So you meant that there's a possibility that hacked happened was might an inside job? Or maybe I have an assumption that the hacker was also ex-technical support staff. Because hackers know what is the weakness of the system, through by this hackers was able to manipulate the system and compromised those high-profiled accounts. And here is the thing that comes up in my mind, why it took so long time before they froze those hacked accounts or even delete the hack attempt tweet? Hmmm.

Speaking of high profile accounts, I wonder why President Donald Trump didn't hack his account. Cheesy Probably because hackers know that he isn't Bitcoin's friendly.

I noticed that the Twitter company didn't state how they will improve their security system.

The hackers could access any accounts but they didn't even bother going into Trumps and they knew no one is believing him anyway. People would rather listen to Kayne West on twitter than to trump.
1392  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can Ampleforth be a better Bitcoin? on: July 19, 2020, 09:30:48 AM
Ampleforth seems to be a well thought coin. It has balanced many of its metrics and could be one of the largest coin by use and by marketcap. It could be considered as a better coin not just bitcoin. It's much different from what bitcoin is. A large number of coins limit their supply to a fixed number or tries to limit the issuance. They don't necessarily are a competitor to bitcoin.
1393  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Should I stake my TRXs now? on: July 18, 2020, 03:27:24 PM
I've been following TRON for a while and they have an impressive growth specially on the number of dapps that are coming out every day. Tron's price too have increased a lot and I'm already cashing in the profit. I have also invested in tron related dapps, mostly the gambling ones for some profit. The high risk dapps too are a fun to try but everyone should know that they are ponzi that would stop providing coins when they have no enough new deposits.
1394  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to know if the project is fake? on: July 18, 2020, 06:43:09 AM
That's a good way to start. The first thing we should do is search about the team members and verify if they are really involved in the project. Most of the fake ICO uses fake names and create new linkedin Ids with those fake names. If you encounter no other reference of the member and just a number of social profile that seem to be made recently than they are surely scam.
You can also try calling the phone number and inquiry the person who picks it up to find how serious they are about the project.
1395  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Decentralized Cloud Storage: Is it worth it? on: July 17, 2020, 08:20:30 AM
One of the reason why such projects are not working is due to their lack of exposure. People when spend money for storage, they'd want it to be safe and secure. In the hands of those who would be here for eternity. They won't be easily trusting a new project that have come up with some plans even though they are cheaper than other options. So, for it to work, these decentralize storage also need to provide some free storage to test out and maybe come up with a variety of other ways of making money to keep the business afloat.
1396  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Impact of USDT in the Crypto Market? on: July 17, 2020, 06:25:51 AM
The popularity of USDT signifies the importance of stable coin rather than importance of itself. Most of the users are still using it as there are no alternatives in most of the places and are no other stable coin that are so widely accepted. The another big advantage of USDT over other stable coins are it's cross platform nature and their easier interchange. That's a unique feature as more and more people are moving towards dapps and dex.
1397  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Let's talk decentralization: Internet power and electricity are centralized on: July 16, 2020, 10:37:24 AM
Internet itself is the real hurdle for true decentralization and freedom. Internet is hugely controllable and it acts as a spying tools for different agencies. No doubt US has the larger control over internet and they collect it to spy over their own citizen and foreign nationals. For the same exact reason, many countries have created a firewall that restricts direct data transfer while it helps them collect the data within their own citizens. Russia and China are a good example of it. Their internet is not exactly a different one from the rest but is semi-disconnected and they are developing in to semi-autonomous but still things like domains is controlled by US through ICANN and spywares like google and apple suite.
1398  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: BINANCE,GEMINI,CZ,COINBASE TWITTER IS HACKED!! on: July 16, 2020, 09:10:21 AM
This is a vulnerability from the twitter itself and individual addresses has nothing to do over it. The hackers are capable of hacking whatever account they can. So the twitter just blocked every verified accounts from making twitts and deleted any previous ones made after the hack first surfaced. It's one of the largest breach of data as the hackers were able to view every personal message and info like emails and phone numbers. And by asking BTC, the hackers have defamed crypto once again.
1399  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Mass Twitter accounts of crypto companies and personalities got hacked! on: July 16, 2020, 02:05:32 AM
It's not just them but prominent figures like Elon Musk and Joe Biden got hacked. Even Apple was hacked to post the message. This simply shows that the hackers utilized vulnerability in Twitter themselves. It has nothing to do with personal security of those people and company. It's a huge blow for twitter as the hacker still can hack any accounts at will.


Even Barack Obama, Jeff Bezos, Bill gates, Micheal Bloomberg and Kayne West has been hacked. The hacker can hack any account they want.
The hackers are said to have changed the email and taken full control of the accounts. It shows how vulnerable are our social contacts. This is indeed a failure by company like Twitter. It would certainly make people look away from twitter into something safer and to something that can't be faked by an imposter.
1400  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto mass adoption closing in on: July 15, 2020, 10:46:28 AM
Paypal and most of the large financial business were hostile to crypto just a few years ago. Many called them bubble and Paypal specially tried to avoid it as much as possible, making P2P crypto trading illegal on it's terms. As crypto and specially bitcoin held it's ground for years and along a lot of turmoil, they are now realizing crypto is something that's here to stay.
Paypal current crypto love is just a last moment resort to save it's business as it sense crypto could easily replace it and provide a much cheaper, quicker and efficient option.
