Seriously i think the days of banning crypto are behind us, with this new development of PayPal providing crypto service to it's customers starting with USA customers, i want to believe the negative perception about crpto in general is reducing otherwise while will a company like PayPal decide to support crypto, now they have realize that the use of digital currency is inevitable, the more government device a means to eradicate crypto the more the awareness grow,
it really doesn't matter what the government do or say, the fact remains crypto is here and not going anywhere, it is time they start to have a re-think, make plans towards crypto acceptance, it is said "if you cant beat the you join them"  government are losing control.

Well talking about cryptocurrency going mainstream  if this isn't then i wonder what is, this is definitely a plus in the part of crypto, the adoption keep spreading and touching those places you would think it will never get attention,
i read about the news on cnbc today and i was actually pleased, according to the article, the PayPal crypto services will first launch in the united state, the U.S citizens will be the first to text and enjoy the service,

This is definitely a game changer, i guess this news is some how related to the sudden pump of btc touching $13k and back down, i know this will strengthen the trust on crypto and especially btc, imagine the number of new people who will be willing to come in because of PayPal involvement! the road to adoption is very clear now imo, smart move by PayPal for taking this bold step, lets see if other giant players in the economy will want to miss out , the game is on i can feel it.  

Having its own digital currency is good, Bahamas is a very expensive country and an attraction for tourist, according to what I read, things are generally expensive in that country,  maybe this initiative will strengthen the status of the economy even further, i think this will Foster the process of crypto adoption much more faster,  i didn't know the Government of this country is crypto loving,  hopefully many more countries will emulate this idea.

That project has all the qualities of a scam written all over it,  they hard an unending ieo as far as i can remember, they practically tricked their participants to this ridiculous lock procedure, because it seems this part of token being locked for close to a year was not part of the initial rules of the campaign,  they cleverly introduce this nonsense when it was time for them to honour their promises,

Some of the very many ordeals of being a bounty hunter especially  for some useless alts project, they lack the ability to be trustworthy, always looking for a way to cheat hunters, feel sorry for the participants of this campaign, they can only accept what they receive and hope the price will appreciate in near future.

For someone who had spent such a long time trying to smeared the name of btc before the whole world and still end up failing woefully, i would expect him to be a btc maximalist by now ,   or just quit, by saying i give up  (i mean look at the time this guy has been on the tail of btc trying to bring it down)
i consider him the btc stalker, but too bad till now he is not able to raise any dust with his continuous attempt to discredit the work of a genius,  but, 7 years is enough for him to come up with a technology to counter all his so-called btc flaws i.e if he can.

lol, very common with some btc enthusiast to call anything and everything that is not directly speaking in-favor of btc to be FUD, i think crypto in general is like that, anyone say any slight negative thing or a critics is regarded as fud, perhaps OP should take it as a warning and understand the rationale behind the news, besides, there is nothing new even this is fud from google or other website, at the end btc will always pull through.  

Absolutely right, many crypto lovers all jumped into the crypto space with the information they can gather on their own from different source of the internet, this has aid some people to make the right decision in crypto while others where not so lucky to utilize this roadside information (my own personal description)

however, a well established crypto information educational platform will certainly go a long way in assisting newbies into this space to have a first hand knowledge about crypto which will assist them to make the right decision, i believe this is a necessary step to ensure the creation of awareness in a more established form, the idea is great.

The more old projects die off the more new ones will be created to match with the growing demand of the society, and lets not forget this smart contract base projects will always remain there and so long they are still available there is opportunity for new project to be created, it is even exhausting to go through the list of projects we have in the market,
The advent of defi project makes the situation even worst, it's as if defi project are being created on a daily basis, most of them have nothing but ridiculous concept yet people troop in in millions, sad.

No it doesn't make trading easier, having lots money does not equate to having the needed experience to trade, this are two separate thing, having enough money is one thing, having the trading experience is another, so if you are thinking with enough money and less experience you will make money in trading, you are mistaken,
It will even be better if you have the required knowledge together with a good sum of money to trade, if not, you will lose all your money no irrespective of the amount.

i completely agree with you bro, i have started using it ever since someone paid my service through usdt trc20, at first i was wondering why use trc20 instead of using usdt erc20 but after i experiment it, i discover the fee is free or so because no charges are included in the transaction and to me that is definitely free,

i agree that Justin is not a likeable person (base on his personalities) but we have to separate the owner from the technology, what matters most is the technology and how beneficial it is, i feel when many people discover this, more will rather use trc20 than erc20, isn't this the idea of blockchain, to make transaction less costly and fast. Between @op welcome to the club  

it seem more like you are saying eth can not be dethrone so other project should not co-exist alongside, i doubt the intention of the Graph project is to dethrone any project, the ecosystem is big enough for similar project to duel,
besides, this method will eliminate the possibility of monopoly, eth is not all that and not exactly without any shortcomings either, they have not been able to solve scalability issue, see the mess most erc20 project are facing,
the crypto community is open to new ideas, the world is evolving and so are technologies, we shouldn't be limited to some particular few, between pitfalls are in every investment be it defi or none defi.

i think it will really be a terrible idea for someone to think of buying merit to rank up, i know to some people it seem very difficult to get merited but i believe consistences and hardwork will eventually earn the person some merit,
there are lots of ways to contribute to the forum, members of the forum will recognize your contribution and effort by giving out merit, all it takes is some determination and focus to achieve it, buying merit is like taking the easy way out (even though not exactly easy)
between there is a possibility of getting scammed in the process.

If you are able to pass the kyc process then i think you can easily participate in the sale, but the way i see things from their telegram chat group, i think their are some unprocessed kyc request, some people complaining to have their kyc pending for days, this can be a challenge for many who might be interested in the GRT SALE, the demand is massive no doubt, and there will be an individual purchase cap of $1k - $5k, good thing some whale will not be able to buy up half of the sale and manipulate the market afterwards,
this is definitely going to be huge, anyone interested should make sure to get register because registration is closing by tomorrow according to the admin, price per Graph is $0.03.

Yeah, and as i was made to understand by one of the admin on the DIA official telegram chat, anyone is qualified to this airdrop provided you hold some dia in your wallet during the stated time frame of the airdrop,
so in other words,  it doesn't matter whether your dia is from bounty reward or bought from the exchange, all wallet holding dia at the time of airdrop will get the average of what they hold, which is more of an advantage for hunters who choose to hold their dia, honestly, it is winning in both world.

Don't count on it, project of this magnitude and status don't usually conduct bounty, this is a world class consumer brand company with high level of investors willingly and ready to invest in their token, they already have that advantage, i doubt bounty campaign will be of any significant, from what i read in their website, it seems they are only going to conduct 'series of private sale to qualified investors', so i can only assume by now the private sale process must have been concluded since this was originally stated in march.
i would still like to know the outcome of the sale and the plan to further develop the project, any recent update will do.

You know i think in a away this partial payment introduce by most project teams are a blessing in disguise, just like you have already pointed out, many project still suffers a huge price drop even with the partial payment to hunters,  which in this case vindicate hunters off this baseless accusation,
time and again it has been said that the percentage allocated to bounties are too insignificant to affect price, but for some selfish reasons project team want investors and supporters to still believe in that,

And which further establish the fact that the huge amount given to private investors are the major reason and probably the team secretly dumping on investors (which there are many instances) i expect by now that notion must have been corrected in the mind of the investors and project team should stop misleading people with this irrelevant accusation on bounty hunters.

I wonder what you consider as limited information, i mean a little trip to their website will tell you so much about the project already, between from what i read and my conversation with one of the admin, registration for the GRT SALE (Graph Token)  is still ongoing, sale has not begun yet, and just so you know they don't like to call it ICO because according to the admin most ico of the past where related to vaporware and Graph on the other hand already has a walking product and not comparable, so i will urge you to get some basic knowledge about the project, they seem solid and knows their worth.
Between they don't like to be address as an ico project, you should take that into note.

i was gonna suggest it and i click on your link and saw you shared it already, yeah lattice seem like a very legit bounty as far as my observation is concern, from the bm to the overall organization of the bounty down to the project team, all that is required is a little digging and you will have all the necessary information to help you decide whether to support a particular bounty or not,
i would say all the participants who are accepted in this bounty should consider themselves fortunate (myself included) since the criteria of selection of the bm is a bit high and i totally get why it is so.

---

another bounty that is worth mentioning is JACS.tech bounty,  we all know that Hhampuz is top rated bm in this forum and he doesn't promote any fake or scam project, so i think op should include this 2 suggestions.

i think among all the reason that was pointed out, the above are the major reasons that affect project to increase in price,
most of project team don't usually have their own personal funds to finance their project, they seek support from angel investors or private investors whom they offer very high bonus just to get them to invest, and we know what happens once that token is listed on the exchange,

the kind of exchange to be listed also plays an important role, however, most top level and middle level exchange are expensive, some project don't even have enough funds for project development let alone to list on this exchange, thus they will find themselves in the low level exchange that will only help to kill the project even further,

between investors of this days are only concern about short term gains, once a token is listed on any exchange, most investors will liquidate their holdings immediately without wasting time, so it goes hand in hand in both team, investors and hunters (because hunters will liquidate all their reward immediately it has been distributed)

so i think it is time for dev team to re-visit this point and use them as a comparison to make plans for future project launch.

And I read that Bitcoin.com is going to delist Ghost and ESH from the exchange, I actually thought maybe this time John will be a bit dedicated to Ghost project but this was another of his charade, the guy had no commitment in him, everything to him is like the cigarette he smokes, I feel sorry for investors who believe in him or who still believes in his lies,
Am not surprise he got into the nest of the law, the man must had it coming, always openly challenging the government and doing all sorts, I hope he can use this period to reflect and if possible mend his ways a little bit.
