161  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is Chainlink (LINK) a good investment? on: July 24, 2020, 06:13:11 PM
I did not no much about chainlink but I have seen the performance this days and it is highly impressive. Just yesterday we have seeing surprising gains of 11% and I see it as the major coins that is performing and moving the market upward this days.
This is all due to the DeFi frenzy going all over the ethereum network, everyone is talking about it and want take some part of it, chainlink being the heart of it. Definitely in the future there will be a price increase of this token and my target is at least 10x of what the current value of this token is i.e. $70. But this sole prediction is based on the idea that DeFi is going to be the next big thing in the future and now with the ethereum 2.0 protocol the chances of LINK being pumped are even higher.

Just having basic common sense and stepping away from the situation to see the whole picture will help a lot.

Take some time and observe. Think.

People just need to think a little more about what they're doing.
Not being greedy is the way to go, only greedy people would have sent the bitcoins to those addresses that the scammers gave on Twitter to send bitcoins to. The thing is, if they would have waited then the giveaway would have been over, in fact they should have calculated the time required for getting the transaction confirmed on the network, in most of the cases the transaction is taken up after 2 or 3 blocks even with priority fees. So how could have they sent the bitcoins in the next 30 minutes, I also saw the tweet as I have kept the notifications on for tweets from Binance and Elon Musk, I thought this through and this actually saved my bitcoins from falling into the hands of those scammers.

Can someone make it trading only altcoins?
Follow my lead, you need lots of patience and to avoid losses when trading, just buy low and sell high, all that matters here is timing, orders can get successful in seconds, minutes, hours, days or even months, that's why you need patience
Not only buying low and sell high, learn to study the cryptocurrency market and take the right step in order not to be a victim of dump, as many thousands have been. Many a-times we buy when the price hit the peak, always be right all time to buy from the buy zone than buy from the selling zones. Many have been left with shits because of this.  
After a few successful trades people start to think that they are a great trader and can make any coin a gem if they enter the market and then they face the hard truth when they loose what they made in trading. It is always advised to learn along with doing practice, if the trader will forget to do any of these things then the consequences won't be good and as you said he will face the same fate as the thousands of people already did.
Trading isn't everyone's cup of tea and everyone should understand their strength and weaknesses and then decide on what earning path they should take in the future. There are many ways to earn money online and trading is just one of those more than 100 methods.
164  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Sudden Ethereum PUMP!! What is the reason? on: July 23, 2020, 06:31:40 PM
Hey guys, after waking up in the morning I saw ETH was at 263$. Currently sitting on the 270$ price. What is the news behind this pump?

Also, are we going to see Ethereum again 300+? What's your thought on this?
This price surge is most probably due to the ethereum 2.0 hype as the month of August is coming and most probably there will be an announcement from the ethereum foundation in the near future, so the people are trying to catch the train before it leaves the station and when everyone will be wanting to catch this train then they will give their ethers to those people for a premium on the market price. So, right now we should accumulate as much ether as we can until the announcement of ethereum 2.0. Surely there will be a dump after a sharp pump after this announcement, if a person times his entry right then he can really make a lot of money in this trade.
165  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if you knew Huobi's private key? on: July 21, 2020, 05:14:47 PM
Let's assume that you guess the correct private key of Huobi's cold wallet. What would you do?

35hK24tcLEWcgNA4JxpvbkNkoAcDGqQPsP right now has 255,502BTC

If you steal them, there are many bad cases. First of all (I'm not sure), they may find your IP address that you did that. If you send an information of 255kBTC the node that will receive it (if you use a wallet) will know your IP address. It's a matter of time to find you. (if you're unlucky too)
If you are a node, the first node(s) that will receive it will know you're the guy.

The other bad case is that bitcoin price will drop DRAMATICALLY! Imagine yourself reading the news that some hackers stole 255kBTC, wouldn't you be a bit afraid? Especially the other rich addresses, that knew how much Huobi was protecting it. We would forget the possible $20k of 2021.

So even 1 satoshi or 255kBTC would make you a thief that could end up in a difficult situation.

On the other hand, you only live once, hah?
This isn't true at all, the IP that you are using don't get revealed when you are transacting on the bitcoin network, rather the transaction always comes through a proxy, moreover you can always use a proxy to actually hide your location. Moreover this is just a hypothetical situation of you finding that private key of this wallet having 255k bitcoins in it. Also the address to which these bitcoins will go most probably get blacklisted from the exchanges and then selling those bitcoins will be extremely difficult, but sure you will be living a pretty great life if you get that address's private key.
166  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Technical analysis won't help you find the next 100x on: July 21, 2020, 04:10:50 PM
TA may be good for finding entry and exit points for established coins, but not for finding which ones are going to moon next. For that you should be looking at macro indicators to get ahead of the news. But y'all aren't ready to have that conversation.
Please Mr. Tell us more about that, I am ready to be reached about how to find the coin that is going to have a 100x in it's price. I bet whatever you are going to teach us is gonna be mind opening and I am ready to learn it as well.

Analysis only helps you to make profit in the short term. To be able to profit 50-100 times, you first need to hold it in the long term. Then you need to be patient and wait, in addition there will not be so many altcoins in this market, depending on your luck.
Crypto market is the one in which the prices move pretty fast i.e. it is highly volatile and for sure if you are going to hold an altcoin for long term then the chances of you becoming a millionaire are close to nil, rather you should make it there by the means of trading coins and not just holding your coins, as after 1 year or less most coins loose their entire market cap and go to zero.
167  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Trying to Sell LEDU on Dcoin!! Fake Volume? on: July 20, 2020, 04:10:29 PM
I have 15000 LEDU token to sell. I deposited those on the DCOIN exchanger and placed sell orders. My order was the bottom of all the orders. After a few hours, I noticed some orders in the history that have been sold for lower rate than mine.
After that, I keep watching the exchanger and noticed that buy orders are coming in order history I mean in history it's showing that someone is buying tokens lower than in my rate. But at that moment there were no orders lower than mine. How is it possible? are they using bots for showing fake volume??

Can anyone explain?
Thode are the boys buying and selling coins and they won't come in the order books as well, they only appear in the recent trades history and yes you can't sell your tokens to those bots. Your best option is to sell your coins to the highest bidder and nothing else. A lot of exchanges does this creation of fake volume to attract more people to use their exchange and when they realize that the volumes are fake, it is too late and they already have deposited their tokens on that exchange.
168  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Future of Bitcoin Technology. on: July 19, 2020, 07:10:13 PM
All of them ; governments , businesses , individuals... It has banks worried, because cryptocurrency eliminates the need for their services. Since they don't have to pass through multiple hands, transactions take place much more quickly. It also has caused concern because it's become harder to regulate financial activity, which has especially interesting implications on the international level.
Since the usage of cryptocurrencies has eliminated the banks from the equation, the demand for escrows have become more and now a days the scams related to cryptocurrencies has tremendously grown. You can see on telegram and many other messaging apps that if two persons are trading then the one which sends first get easily scammed as there aren't any charge backs and bitcoin itself is pseudonymous so the receiver can easily get away with the money.
About cross border sending of funds and relation of bitcoins to money laundering, you will always see a slippage in sending huge amounts of bitcoins so it isn't feasible at all to do such trades with bitcoins.
169  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto Bad Exchanges on: July 19, 2020, 05:08:44 PM

If you already noticed bad reviews with exchange you should move forward and find another, there are lots of good and reputable available exchange
around you don't need to risk your investment using this exchange.

Best to be more aware and cautious, some might used this exchange as this is the only venue for their tokens, we can't blamed those people who are'trying to trade their assets, expect complains after experiencing the bad practices of the exchange.
People use these kind of exchanges because they want to either sell their tokens which they earned from the bounty and aren't listed on any other exchange. So they don't have anywhere to go but these exchanges.


This is the result of hype that was in 2018. People thought that exchanges are the best business for IEO. The most successful IEOs and ICOs were tokens connected to the exchange. Exchange generates a profit and this profit is distributed among token holders.
Even the DeFi platforms are now having their tokens and they also generate a lot of revenue for these platforms even more than what they generate from the users, you can see COMP, bZx and a few others, these tokens gain price when the exchange is performing good and drop down when exchange is having some issues like the incident that happened with bZx back in the month of February.
170  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Bounties managed by team themselves on: July 19, 2020, 03:32:00 PM
Success or failure depends entirely on the project. Bounty manager is just a hired employee and helps project management campaign. I personally only evaluate and select bounty according to the quality of the project, I'm not too concerned about the campaign manager.
The bounty manager is also just like us, he just get paid for the work he does for the team, but since he is higher up the food chain, so he does actually gets paid pretty hefty amount of money for the work that has to be done. But there are also demerits in being a bounty manager that he has to check a lot of participants and also this takes a lot of time and sometimes leads to an argument with some people over distribution of stakes.
Bounty managers like the head of social media marketing as they are providing the team with a lot of influencers and also a lot of reach on social media, so if the manager isn't that good then definitely the project is gonna suffer.
171  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to know if the project is fake? on: July 18, 2020, 06:48:16 PM
Then I check their team.If there is no team in their website ,then I stau away from this project.And if  they give their team and linkedin account,then I check their team is real or not through linkedin.Then I check their social media ,telegram etc when they have opened.If new then I will recomend you to stay away from this project or IEO.

But what if the project is a dex or simply an exchange? Usually they do not show the team, or simply show who is CEO. What will you do in that case? Skip this project/bounty ? And social media, what if they dont have any or do not fill a lot of information in it? For example my grandpa or grandma dont have social accounts Smiley
But your grandpa and grandma aren't CEO of any exchange or a project, are they?? Wink
These days having a social media presence for the CEO and even developers is must if they want the investers to believe in the team and also the supporters use the social media links to check the legitimacy of the project.
I personally check the LinkedIn profiles of the people involved in the project, if there is any red flag in the profile then I don't invest in the project or take part in their bounty.
172  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will mining pools exist after 2100? on: July 18, 2020, 05:39:13 PM
Maybe it depends on the future Bitcoin price. Who knows will be mining profitable after 2100 or not?
Mining makes The bitcoin network countinue to run and keep on processing transactions as usual, if there won't be any miners running the block-chain  then the transactions won't be processed as usual and The network will come to a halt.
But as everyone knows that after 2140 or a little bit before all the blocks containing bitcoins as block reward will mined.

Now the question comes what would be the incentive to mine those bitcoins??
The answer is that the transaction fees combined with the number of transactions that the network is processing will be high enough to incentivise the miners.
173  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Isn't this the best time for Bitcoin? on: July 18, 2020, 04:14:47 PM
Bitcoin is a trusted currency in the crypto world. I don't think there is a need for time to invest in Bitcoin. If you have the capital to invest, invest now. The sooner you invest, the sooner you will reap the benefits. I also believe that using Bitcoin can play an important role in those who want to stay safe due to the Covid-19 virus.
Yes using bitcoin will actually benefit us as it will prevent the spread of infection because it is a contactless payment method and you can send it to anyone without a contact. But still most of the people recommend using PayPal or credit cards to transact as it is fast and also the money that you put inside these wallets will always remain constant not like the volatile cryptocurrencies where you went out to buy groceries with $69 in your hands and when you had to pay then their value remained 34 or maybe increased to 71. But I only invest in cryptocurrencies only for the purposes of holding it till the end of my life and not for transacting with it.
174  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto success takes time on: July 17, 2020, 05:28:06 PM
what they want is an increase in prices and profits from buying and selling, the rest they don't care too much about developing the project, or what the project is at.
some people do think, because they are only looking for profit.
A lot of projects are doing the same thing lately, going after profit and other new projects unsteady of developing the projects that they are a part of. The project only succeeds if the developers and the team fulfill the promise that they make in the roadmap right on time, if they fail to do so then the investors loose their confidence in the project and sell off their assets to move on to next project, but if the team do hard work like what ethereum team did when they weren't so popular at all then the project will surely become big enough and will also earn them huge profit.
175  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What if cryptocurrency on: July 17, 2020, 03:58:46 PM
I think of course all crypto players hope that everything will happen again where many rich people suddenly it year, I personally also get big money easily by following bounty and trading, hopefully for this year or the following year crypto will are back at the top
I think that this will happen immediately after the global financial crisis. when the coronavirus will leave us and people stop to be afraid to invest money - then cryptocurrency will return again
The financial crisis hasn't even started yet, it will be a lot of time after which The financial crisis will start and that will be the worst time that we will ever see in this decade after the 2008 financial crisis. We can easily see the price of cryptocurrencies skyrocket after the end of the crisis, but that rise will be a gradual rise which will not be as exponential as we have seen in the past but if we compare it on the macro data we will definitely see that tremendous growth over time after which I think price will reach at least $100k per bitcoin.
176  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What if cryptocurrency on: July 15, 2020, 05:34:42 PM
The projects were already out there that would have made you 2x to 5x your money, its just that they get overshadowed by the huge number of new projects coming in the market every day. The biggest problem right now is that the bounty that these projects provide is too much less as compared to the reward that they are giving in the bounty pool. Also more the number greater the competition of the ICO, so the competitors are making each other loose money.
It all depends on us. new projects that come will become junk when they come to compete with other projects that are already on the market without a good innovation. whatever our investment, please determine your own based on your desires and abilities.
Of the other projects come to compete with the existing projects then there must be something wrong with the project that is already established in the market and if the other team does it right what the former was unable to do then I am sure the new project is going to succeed, but these new projects don't understand this thing many a times that they should mind their own business and do their work and due to not minding their own work they loose the interest and this becomes the number one reason for demise of the project also the fall in price of the token accompanies it.
177  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What if cryptocurrency on: July 14, 2020, 05:49:02 PM

Yes, it is absolutely true in 2016 and 2017 that were the most profitable for cryptocurrencies. And all projects honorably followed their rules. And participants received rewards according to the rules. And now I think that the time will soon come when the cryptocurrency will again delight us with its achievements.
This time is already very close. Now there are already many projects that bring great profit to their investors. many new startups give a profit of 100-500 percent after listing on exchanges. I am sure that positive changes in the market are already close

178  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What if cryptocurrency on: July 13, 2020, 05:43:40 PM
But I miss the years when there were many profitable projects so many people were interested in flocking to find out more about the world of cryptocurrency, Including me who came to seek profits and trade even though only relying on luck without much knowledge
If the altcoin season do come back just like it was in 2016 or 2017 then you will do a better job in earning and also trading because now you are more established in the community as compared to the year 2016/17 because the time you invested will pay you well now in altcoin season.
The ICO that give you good returns have decreased now because a lot are coming daily and out of which only a few percentage of those projects are only legit and rest are either haphazard that won't make you money or either are scam which can easily be identified right from the start.
179  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Isn't this the best time for Bitcoin? on: July 12, 2020, 06:42:34 PM
Bitcoin is not yet fully accepted and adopted in different countries. Also only limited store are accepting bitcoin as payments for good and services that's why it is not also the way to have a n easy transaction in terms of goods and services online. But i hope someday it will happen.
There are Crypto cards now a days which you can load up with your bitcoins and use at any shop that accepts cards or maybe even pair up with your PayPal wallet. So the problem of bitcoins acceptance is almost solved now, but the only disadvantage in this situation is that you have to pay a premium upon the conversion rates from bitcoins to cash and also the card company charges a regular fee from the card holder's account. We are still far away from direct acceptance of bitcoins in our neighborhood shops.
180  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bounty Managers and Shit projects on: July 12, 2020, 05:34:06 PM
Exactly, bounty managers who have been promoting unrealistic or fake projects have to penalize. Because of that, so many scam projects have come into the market. Lots of people get the victim of such shitty projects. That's why Bounty managers have to take this thing seriously and need to show some responsibility for avoiding shitty projects.
Bounty managers are also humans like us and we do a lot of mistakes in life. The thing is that these days scammers are also doing a lot of work before making their project public and when their work is final they introduce the projects to public. Mostly people easily spot the scam project from fake ones and a few times when they aren't able to do so the bounty managers filter these out. But a few scam projects also get past the bounty managers filters too.
Also that if you think that the project is legit then only you invest in it or participate in the bounty, no one actually forces the participant to join aslo if the project turns out to be a scam then the bounty managers also don't get paid or take a loss.
