Am not about knowing what exchange to dominate the continent or base on geopolitical sentiment am just looking at the exchange that suit my trading needs and give me the satisfaction that i required because at the end this is what matters the most, individual experience and encounter with each exchange is what count, and to me binance take the lead, coinbase has some limitations and zb.com i have never used, this is base own personal encounter.

@OP is trying to miss things up or just haven't been observant of the market movement of xrp and other alts, perhaps op can give instances where xrp price rise without the influence of btc, it is was a common tradition (until recently) that when btc rise in btc it will affect alts to rise as well, and like others already mentioned the thing about xrp recent price pump was as a result of the airdrop announcement otherwise xrp price movement is similar to other alts nothing special,
you don't need to panic sell your coins if you bought during the pump, just hold and wait for the next announcement 

Clearly the @op is on a dream land   i wouldn't want to wake him from his dreams just yet, i don't know what gives the op such confidence that polk will be killing eth, anyways can't stop op from wishing, eth is a well establish project with millions of real users, do you even know the number of projects on the ethereum blockchain!
it will be very hard for polk to compete with that to the point of killing it.

Don't expect any explanation, they already send what they feel the bounty hunters deserve and done with it, those guys are certainly shady and should be tag even more (although won't resolve anything ) they have already ripped hunters off, the reason why i didn't promote the campaign, the negligence of the so-called bounty manager was not very okay with me, hunters will have to accept their faith, i guess half bread is better than none in this case.

Probably am looking at a different market than what the above user is looking, hex price has appreciate a little this few days but not as exaggerated as the user make it, it could be the price will appreciate eventually but lets not forget this is a huge supply project and the possibility of given such percentage the @op speculate is near impossible, realistically i think it would be hard to expect such returns again,
am not being negative just trying to see things as they are.

I guess you were right after all, now it has been confirmed from this post that the bounty was paid but team cleverly shot paid hunters, the reason why both the spreadsheet and telegram bounty group was locked and restrict access for any confrontation, and the reason why they have 2 different bounty pool amount, it was a deliberate attempt,
they were accused of fraudulent behavior of their past project where they failed to refund to investors, well it appears a leopard will never leave it spots.

Don't let me rain on your parade buh $200 with your current rank.... nah, on a different note though this could happen depending on how determined your are and if you have experience in content writing and social media campaigns,
since you are still a newbie in the forum, signature is out of the talk, if you have good number of followers on twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn then you could participate in this campaigns with your newbie account, (although some bm don't accept newbie in this campaign sometimes so you need to earn at least 1 merit to rank you up to jr member)
it all depend on your determination, and mind you - always read and follow forum rules, bounty campaign is not a bed of rose .... welcome onboard.

Yeah, perhaps people looking to earn reward from staking eth now that it has the pos features will probably hold, if the staking reward is attractive it will attract more investor to buy eth to stake, it will increase the demand, reduce the selling or trading pressure and eventually translate to price,
more project can move to eth 2.0 if the scalability issue as being resolve to the barest minimum, the network is bale to perform better even under an increase in work load because the more the adoption from new project, the more the work load.

Assuming you are the winner or among the winners of the event and you need make withdrawal through your unverified binance account, i think you will only be able to withdraw the limit of an unverified account and not exceed that limit, this my just my assumption they may probably require kyc from winner(s) since it is an event and totally different from being a binance user.

It is somewhat normal to close bounty group if they feel it will generate lots of attention and rift among bounty participants but not very cool to also lock the spreadsheet denying participants access to review their stakes and reward to acknowledge everything is as expected,

I saw some members already pointed it out on the bounty thread so am hoping the admin will reconsider and open the spreadsheet for review and also open the bounty group for complaint of missing stakes which I know will occur.

Lets assume such thing will happen then it won't be any different from the way each country have their own fiat currency, it will of course be in the form of stable coin with less volatility, each country will operate using their respective digital currency and also recognise that of other countries for easy transaction.
It won't create any competition since nobody will be investing on it for profit maximisation,  rather it will be a currency for transaction only.

Especially those project where the team are mostly anonymous, no trace of identification which means very easy to abandoned one project and quickly jump into another and continue deceiving people,
It is important know the team behind a project has genuine interest for that project enough to make them stay and support the project long term or as long as required,
Yeah we have many abandoned project around because the dev have probably move on to a new project or just simply abandoned the project and took funds live a good life.

You don't even know the right section to post your bounty thread, go to the bounty section and post there, perhaps you should move this thread there.

I disagree on the statement " I believe no developer wants to start a project and fail on purpose" why! Because to me it seems you are including those scammers in the equation,  

Those developers with the intention to succeed will work hard together with the support of their supporters to see the project succeed,
That school of thought does not applies to those scumbags who develop a project solely to scam investors on a short term period,

Developers are of different category, you separate the good from the bad, not making a general statement that will classify all as same, because they are not.

Am guessing you are from the future 🤔 and from there you already saw what crypto everyone will accept, since I don't think anyone has ask you yet about it, let me have the privilege to ask.....
what is this crypto everyone will mine at the same rate that will replace fiat?
Can you share a name or net yet in existence? Am just curious to know because it seem you already have an idea what that crypto will be by using "mark my word" as point of assurance.

I don't think it applies to the older folks only, many traders have their funds on exchanges for easy access, and before anyone pointing out dex trading remember the volume is not comparable, although not enough excuse to leave funds on exchange, better to have control of your funds to avoid future uncertainties.

All investment comes with a risk though, it is a good thing to warn people to take precaution but at the same time it is not such a bad idea to take a look at the tech and team of this project, i just feel like a guy as popular as wozniak won't want to ruin his reputation over any form of scandal, there are some big shot backing this project which is another thing to consider,
once upon a time people was very skeptic about a coin named "bitcoin" but today it is the most trusted digital coin that will ever exit, same goes to the so called top 100 coins on cmc that we all love to recommend,  there is no harm in doing due diligent and same time open to new opportunities.

My question to you is... is your account got blocked by PayPal for trading crypto or you just making this post base on what you read and not what you experience?
i do have an account with PayPal but just for my personal usage only so i can't say much about trading experience since i don't use it for that, besides, PayPal has always been known for blocking accounts for any slightest irregularities and it does not necessarily be accounts related to crypto trading only only, probably this accounts are violating some of the rules regarding trading by PayPal or so, for them to block this accounts there must be a good reason.

Eth 2.0 has been anticipated to addresses some of the issues the ethereum network is facing and which i believe has already been activated, although this are the early stage of it hence it will be a bit difficult to tell what the impact will be as regard to scalability,
and as for the impact it will have on investors, the only thing that comes to mind is the staking function and being a validator, as an investor with the right amount of eth to stake it will generate extra income for your investment.

Or probably the clipper can not be bought using btc, if they can buy other stuff with btc i assume they can also get a clipper with btc except of course this item can not be found in a btc acceptance store,

in any case, am just trilled to see such a btc enthusiastic family who truly live and dedicate their lives to the cause, it is very easy for many people to say they love btc, but am sure it will be most difficult to live it (i.e using only btc to make payment) especially when it is not universally accepted yet. kudos to this family.
