141  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: TRON - worth investing? on: April 25, 2019, 07:58:27 PM
I just heard that Tron has signed a strategic co-operation with Liverpool for the premier league.

Regardless of credibility of this news, I really liked the idea of a cryptocurrency working with a club that is working towards winning both the EPL and also champions league and that seems like a huge news but without really knowing any further details it is just a here say where we have no idea how big or how small the partnership will be.

Maybe they just require them to do some sort of blockchain help on all the jerseys sold all around the world like a database but use blockchain instead. Maybe they want to put all their money into that database and follow it more clearly and open it to public. We have no idea which one or if any of them, we only know they have a "partnership" and it is not even that big of a deal yet.
142  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Confessions of a White Paper writer - from decryptmedia.com on: April 25, 2019, 01:07:34 PM
The most hilarious one I even head of recent was that of a project claiming to spend $9000000 out of $10,000,000 on promotions, what exactly they are promoting.

There is no much transparency in some whitepapers, although we have some projects that when you see and read, one will know too that such requires lots of capital, and we will be convinced that whatever amount being requested for is worth it.

The annoying part is some small project that doesn’t even deserve to run on $500,000 project claim to be needing up to $5,000,000, and I wonder what people are really researching when the thing is all there in the whitepaper for them to discern, well, there is nothing much you and I can do, padding is done everywhere, the most important thing is for them to successfully carry out the project and make it a working one.
143  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: LESS REWARD on: April 25, 2019, 11:00:12 AM
At first, I don’t think the main reason why rewards are being reduces is to protect them from dumping it, because that is the only reason they can give for protecting the price and it is glaring that bounty hunter are not the problems of project when dump, they should work more on how they can prevent the investors for doing so.

Secondly, the main reason is what you have stated in the last part, we have so many bounty hunters now unlike before, and since these projects already have an allocation for this, they cannot go beyond what has been budgeted, so they have to share it among all these hunters.

I agree with you that we need to start exploring other opportunities available in the market, rather than relying of bounty hunting, a lot of people are really done well in this crypto without participating in bounty, which we can learn to follow their direction too.
144  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Breaks $5,600 As New Highs Are Achieved For 2019 on: April 25, 2019, 05:53:35 AM
My guess is that in a few months we'il be close to 10K. This is because the price of bitcoin before halving always starts to rise. And I guess, it has just already started.
I think I agree that this rise is in preparation for the next halving, although the halving is still far, which is around May next year, but these signs are already enough proof that Bitcoin BULL will be a huge one this time around, with the improvements we are seeing now that the halving is still far.

So I don’t think I doubt the prediction that Bitcoin value might hit $150,000 at the peak of the bull run and if we look at the price value we have now, despite the fact that market is already increasing, it is still very cheap to buy now, so I think many investors would want to see the point now as another entry point, since we already have the green light.
145  Economy / Economics / Re: Have you figured out what you are Investing in? on: April 25, 2019, 04:50:00 AM
If we want to be more successful we need to figure out the right coin at its early stage following someone at the later stage may needs long time or it won't happen ever.

If anyone thinks they are smarter they need to invest now since we can find the market seems bullish and convincing.
Yeah that's true, it is not going to be in favor of everyone that invests in it. There are people who are going to lose and there are people who are also going to win. When people lose. They are money are taken by those that wins and that's how it is everywhere. And price cannot confine to go up like forever, there are times that the price will go down and there are also times when it going to go up. But, some people always think that bitcoin is a quick money making scheme and they just jump in without doing any calculations on what they are about set their foot on.

I am always with bitcoins alone as bitcoins value is determined by the people that considers it as valuable, so when those people are buying it, the price continues to rise and when they start to sell you will see the price will plummet.

This is not a new thing and by the way, anyone that is going into bitcoin should have known before then that it is volatile, cause I don't really see why anyone would just wake up and hear someone mention Bitcoin and without researching about it they would just jump into it, that's really stupid. Before I started buying Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency I made a lot of research about them to know everything about them and how they work.
146  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is Digibyte (DGB) have worth to invest ? on: April 24, 2019, 08:27:52 PM
As per observation, DGB team is still active and still pushing their platform developments. The problem I think is they have no whitepaper or future roadmap which creates doubt and trust issues for investors. However, it could still be considered as a mature project and has a friendly community behind it.
If they are having issue with white paper and roadmap, then what is their team doing about this if they are really active, if you out there can see their lapse, how come they have not seen it and find a way to adjust, what is their adviser also doing.

You know we have some projects that are just performing try and error, some are even just learning about the project they propose after they have raised fund for it and not because they have experience in it, the idea is what they have but they might not have a functioning execution team that will carry out the project successfully which they have to find one before it gets too late.
147  Economy / Speculation / Re: I SMELL FOMO on: April 24, 2019, 06:48:59 PM
FOMO literally helps us get more buys. Fomo is fear of missing out and what does people who are fearing that bitcoin will go up and they will miss ? Well they buy and when they buy what does it do? Make the price go up. That is why I think that FOMO is really needed if we want to get to that ATH prices once again. If we can make people believe bitcoin will go up than not only buyers will buy but the sellers will stop too, when bitcoin sellers stop to sell at a low price and buyers want to buy no matter what than the price will automatically increase even if the volume doesn't change at all. I don't know how FOMO starts or who starts it but if we can figure that out we can than repeat that for future increases.
148  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Public sale or pre ICO? can't decide on: April 24, 2019, 05:33:52 PM
You should not go with ICO because of reasons that will lead your project to a defamed one. ICOs are not trustworthy among people right now and have shortcomings. You should rather focus on IEO. Getting your IEO conducted on an exchange would help a lot with quick access to funds and marketing. ICO will not facilitate you in that scenario. Crypto startups go for IEO to be successful in the long run.

When we are satisfied with some good ICOs and there would be some big discounts for early contribution then we may go for that particular ICO alone. For this we may have some reserve fund allocation and that should be less than 20% by considering how hard ICO scams in recent past.
There are lots of focus already on IEO platform and projects, but it comes with so many conditions that are making it difficult for people to get in.

First, for project developers, IEO is quite expensive as they have to pay for listing and not many of them are ready for the cost till after ICO, the only reason why some of the ones that has participated have been successful is because we still have limited projects and the number of people who are willing to participate are so much greater than what the project can supply, so they are able to sell quickly, but once IEO becomes rampant now, they will be so much delay too in meeting up.

The last thing I also don’t like about IEO right now, although o know it’s because of the limited project we have, so many investors don’t get to be a part before it ended, so what would they do in that scenario, they wait till 10 or 20 years before they invest?
149  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: what do u think will happen 100 years or 1000 years from now on: April 24, 2019, 04:31:07 PM
It is a high risk to hold bitcoin for many years you don't know that exactly gonna happends once it drops and your just invest huge money from it. Lot of people selling on there coins for now to avoid lossing money in market situation and condition.
Can you please do something very important for me, where you have edit button if you can create any, please click on it, go to places where you have bitcoin on your post, delete it and replace it with altcoins. You should be talking about altcoins and not bitcoin.

I can see you don’t have any bitcoin, would you permit me to introduce BTC to you. BTC started about 10 years ago or so, and since then, it has passed through the worst situation that is more than we are seeing now, so many criticism, and many more, but I believe you can see how strong it stood out against all odds, there is nothing BTC is passing through now that is new to it, it will always be very reliable and more reliable one than it is now.

Bitcoin come 5 years’ time will not be what you are talking about now, it would have virtually touched one third of the world’s population and experience community growth by almost 10x.

This scammer made me lose 10k USD in one of his ICOS.
Lol, I don’t mean to laugh over your loss, I am so sorry, I guess you have learnt not to take their words so serious, because they are all in the game of hyping too because of their investment, but how did you lose your money ? It might just be that the coin depreciated in value which I am sure you have not lost and will surely appreciate after the bull run, provided the loss is not to scam.

You just have to learn to do research directly on the team and project and not through opinions of people like him. If you had even put that money in bitcoin, do you know the peace you would have by now, just learnt to rely on Bitcoin for now. Bitcoin will hit one million dollar levels for sure but it may take time. In my analysis, one bitcoin may value one billion too but it would take definitely 40 to 50 years.
151  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price will hit $1 million in 2020 because of mathematics: John McAfee on: April 23, 2019, 08:23:55 PM
Hahaha, we all know how strong bitcoin his, and I know that we have some people that are extremist and would do anything or say anything nice about BTC. Can you look at his eyes, does he not look like a whale, after accumulating enough BTC, now he wants to create FOMO that will shoot the price of his investment high.

With or without mcafee, bitcoin will reach any ATH it chooses to go, I believe $50000 for 2020 but that price he mentioned is way too outrageous men, I can’t wait to see 2020 and let’s see if he will be truth to his words, since the promise are made openly. He would have just been a little bit more realistic.
152  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Binance's $BNB, Crypto's Wild Card on: April 22, 2019, 10:36:15 AM
The fee reduction is a huge part for bigger traders, it really helps in the long term. The real value comes from the burns however, but as soon as regulators step in (because anything with burns is a security pretty much) you will see a huge crash in the price because of fear.
How ? With all the projects you see them doing, I think the value really deserves a merit and I would not really be surprised if the price gets to $100, and of course, it will still dumped, but dumping in the sense that investors will definitely cash out their profit when they see a very high value, but I bet you that they will never dump the project to leave it useless.

Binance is to useful  for people to dump it finally, when people sell off, which we term as dump, it’s because of profit and they will still buy back when the value becomes low and wait again for an increase, this is how the circle goes till it reaches a stage where the coin becomes stable too.
153  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you have info about the best IEO token sale? and where is the IEO held? on: April 22, 2019, 04:58:31 AM
i have questions for you, please help me to answer this question, maybe you can help another members (trader) about my question too
at the moment, many exchanges that open IEO token sale, almost every exchanges doing that. According to you, what is the best IEO token sale now? and where is the IEO held?
Since the introduction of IEO, I have not succeeded in participating in any IEO, but I understand that the best place to check a very good IEO out is through these popular exchanges. I have checked some of the ones carried out through Binance and I think they have got successful IEO projects that people rushed.

I think bittrex or bitmex, one out of the two has carried out a very successful one, but the little challenge is that there are so many interest for IEO project but very few projects to participate in, making the demand higher than supply and making it difficult for us to also take part in it, but I know that a time will come that IEO projects will become rampant too for us to make a choice from.
154  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Hotbit exchange is legit. on: April 21, 2019, 08:13:11 PM
yeah that market exchange quit good for me. being my 2nd favorite after idex for alt coin
also the caps market really good too on hotbit

It is not impossible, I see two things that are similar in quality but the index for bitcoin I think is better because it has been used more and trusted more than the new one  Roll Eyes
Since you can vouch for the exchange as an experienced exchanger, volume should not really discourage us or stop us from patronizing them, the most important thing to put into consideration is what you said they have. For them to be very good as you claim, they must have built a strong system with quality products and services, volume will gradually come as investors and project developers comes on the platform to make exchanges.

What I feel, they just need to work on more is how to get their exchange gain more popularity, they need to work more on their marketing strategy so the awareness can be created and attract more users that will increase the volume.
155  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to deal with greed whilst trading? on: April 21, 2019, 05:23:55 PM
If you want to deal with greed then you should abandon your emotion before you start trading because if you will keep that emotion in your body while you are trading then you will no have no choice but to rely to that emotion in decision making so it is a must to abandon emotion before trading to avoid greediness.
Emotion is not what one can really drop overnight, it takes lots of work and practice for one to really be able to control emotion, but if one can really understand what it takes to control emotion and practice it, then it will be easy to control greed like you said.

It is just like the issue of marriage, someone planning to marry a smoker and thinking marriage will make the person to stop smoking, which is a wrong mentality, whatever the person cannot change before marriage, and it may be difficult to change it in marriage. So, anyone that wants to control emotion should not enter trade before doing it, he must have been practicing it and get used to it before he or she enters trade.
156  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Only 10 platforms are credible on: April 21, 2019, 01:41:00 PM
I have just replied to a thread recently too where I saw that, it is only 10 exchanges that have true trading volume, this is bad and it is not sending good signal out there, it only keep showing government and sec that it is a system that can easily be manipulated and that is why they are clamoring for its regulation.

If they succeed in regulating cryptocurrency because of these attitudes, then the objective of cryptocurrency n making our transactions anonymous has been defeated, and I am sure satoshi will also not be happy about this.

Since, we already know exchanges with true volumes, I think it will be best if we pay more attention on them and support them for being transparent in their dealings.
157  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Mandatory live video for project developers or team on: April 21, 2019, 08:25:48 AM
I think this problem can not be solved in this way. I do not understand what will prevent developers after they publish their faces to hide from the eyes of investors? I think that developers can hire actors and pay them some part of the collected money. And then safely hide.
At least, someone will be held accountable when the project goes run, I am sure whoever shows his or her face in the video will be much careful not to tarnish his or her image, even if they hired a machinery to do so, there will always be something linking the machinery to the real project owner that will assist the authority in going after the scammer.

This is a good idea, and I think we should not throw it away, it might still go a very long way in boosting other ideas that may be available to help this situation, the idea OP gave might not solve the problem completely, but it will form a part of things needed to really make the market clean.
158  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling securely and sensibly online on: April 19, 2019, 11:30:08 AM
Before now I was always gambling for fun and it was really interesting. I never had intention to make money but I loved to win, I enjoyed the game that way until my eyes got opened to the money making side of gambling.

A friend told me I could also make money and have fun at the same time, and then I was taught on setting limits to playing.

Hence, what I usually do was to set limits, and when I exceed I just walk out of the game for another day.
For now I think this is a great method to play, am still having fun and not making much loses, and even when I lose, I don’t see it as a big deal. What matters is the excitement I get from the game.
159  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are We Witnessing The Start Of Another Bull Run? on: April 19, 2019, 10:59:38 AM
It could be yes and no since no one really knows what were going to happen. After a drop of few hundred of bucks, btc is gaining back those. Aside from that, good thing is btc showing resistance in $5k and I guess if btc break the barrier of $5.5k, it will continue to $6k and a drop will follow as usual and very normal.
You we investors always have this mindset that there will always be a correction at every increase in price, meanwhile we are the ones using our mindset to control all these things, just like you have the mindset now that the price will drop when it gets to $6000, so many people would have grabbed this figure, waiting for the time to pull off the investment either before / on seeing the $6000, the accumulation of these actions are exactly what brings the price down.

Some of us would want to take advantage of the price then and waiting to buy it back when it falls. There is absolutely no reason for the price of BTC to fall if we don’t sell off our holding, even the ones done by traders does not have much effect as much as investors sell off does.
160  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Mandatory live video for project developers or team on: April 19, 2019, 10:04:34 AM
This is a good idea but I don't believe the project owner or team member will not do that because ICO is not regulate by government.
You see, I love this topic of discussion very well and I think it is a meaningful idea, if they don’t do that, then we should not participate, we need to understand something in this investment, they are not our boss totally, we are their boss, we employed their services to look after our investment and not to come here and control us unnecessarily by pushing what is not accepted to us.

If they are serious and they really need our money, then they will abide by us too, we both need each other, they need us and we need them, they have their rules, we have our rules too. If we can give them our own KYC docs too without government regulation, then simply identifying themselves should not be an issue.
