181  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: How i presently feel about bounties on: January 09, 2020, 11:43:31 AM
It's not about promoting only projects with small allocations considering the fact that they most likely won't disappoint, that's not even the case in all scenarios. Sometimes low allocation bounties still fail. Best bounties to promote are those organized by reputable Bounty managers and escrow payment already made, knowing fully well that the funds have been released to the manager. Also, I prefer to do bounties when the coin is already trading and when I consider the project reliable after my due diligence.
182  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Other than bitcoin is it worth to invest in Ripple? on: January 09, 2020, 09:42:15 AM
One of our major problem in crypto space is unnecessary price predictions. Saying Ripple will touch 3$ to 5$ by end of this year sounds more like a hyperbole. A newbie might see such prediction and buy in hugely, if at the end the investment is not profitable, he/she start looking crypto from the bad end. It's worth investing in Ripple looking at the past development progress, but not on these price predictions. Besides if you've been in this space, you already know some of these predictions are unrealistic. BTW what factors were put in place to conclude that XRP is best investment opportunity in 2020 🤔 if I may ask?
183  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: My Strategy: Withdraw 50% ETH and looking to invest in Altcoin on: January 08, 2020, 03:03:50 PM
Personally, this sounds terrible since the Titan coin has been used to spam this forum severally last year. If honestly you want to sell 50% of your ETH for Titan (and this is not an indirect TITAN shill thread) please have a rethink. I think this is the best time to hold more of BTC and ETH, then smaller percentages of other altcoins if need be. Investment is personal decision, so analyze more then decide.
184  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is for you scam project and what is for you good project? on: January 08, 2020, 01:09:42 PM
One thing people fail to understand is that price movements in the real sense doesn't necessarily tell if a project is good or bad, unless there is massive dump caused by team dumping their own tokens. One thing I consider before holding a coin for long term is team credibility and project development, once these two are very ok, then I'm in. I do trade on daily basis even with coins I consider not so cool, what's my business provided I make short term gains. A good project in essence is one with a team with great vision and action. They conceive good ideologies and put it in project development.
185  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will the price of Altcoin be good in 2020? on: January 08, 2020, 09:41:12 AM
Are you referring to altcoins in general? If so, considering we're in a pretty good trends, especially the movements of bitcoin is quite good which make other altcoins prices also in a good level. I think we're starting to see a good market condition, both on bitcoin and altcoins.

I'm not saying we will see bull run this year or not, no one really knows really. But I do hope the prices of altcoins in this year will be good. At least I hope it will be a lot better than 2019 was.

From all indications altcoin prices will be better off this year compared to 2019. It's really encouraging to see the market pick up, with Bitcoin being the lead. However there are some unverified statements that the clash between America and Iran is also influencing the market uptrend, I think the principal push for the market is Bitcoin halving news. Well, I'm holding just 3 altcoins at the moment, with my major holding being Bitcoin, hoping they do well.

China is Beating The U.S. in Blockchain Adoption.  READ THE FULL ARTICLE VIA THE LINK BELOW https://worldpublicityblog.com/index.php/2019/11/30/china-is-beating-the-u-s-in-blockchain-adoption/
The most amazing aspect of this is that China has the largest population, hence widespread adoption of blockchain in China means a lot. Basically, it's gaining relevance in many sectors presently. For now, just blockchain technology is being adopted, crypto still has a long way to go before mainstream adoption will come.
188  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: PLATINCOIN ANOTHER BITCONNECT? on: December 01, 2019, 01:33:49 PM
Hello guys,

I offer people in my office how to buy and sell bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. I decided to combine it with my bible bookshop for people to be acquainted with the working principles of bitcoin and the ongoing financial revolution.
Some of them that wanted to more about bitcoin keep coming up with PLATINCOIN and with so much hope that it will make them rich and most likely dethrone the bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. I have been telling them that this Plantincoin is built like an MLM in its model and that it was going to fail, they feel I am been myopic in my view.

Before now, I never even knew anything like plantincoin does exist, but with the rate at which people are holding seminars after seminars in my city, I have been forced to bring it here for an expert review, opinion, and input. I had brought up this same coin for commentaries in Nigeria's SIBAN group ( a cryptocurrency body in Nigeria), but no one ever responded, maybe they are not interested in the talk.

Why I believe this will fail is this: It's built-in MLM pattern, it has some referral bonus, and there are levels of premium package program investment. I read that the CEO Alex had been involved in a scam coin called Swisscoin before launching this Platincoin. The way they are indoctrinating their investors that it will beat bitcoin in 2-3years off the market and that it's backed bu something but bitcoin is backed by nothing. I am scared this will be worst than bitconnect, and I just hope investors won't take to suicide when their investment finally fails.

Guys, I want to schedule a time to attend one of the meetings of Platincoin in my city, and disproof the leaders in other to save investors of future loss, but first I need your input and reviews, if possible, let's take down this scam.

It's on coinmarketcap https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/platincoin/ and coingecko https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/platincoin?utm_content=platincoin&utm_medium=search_coin&utm_source=coingecko

Your constructive and well-researched responses will be appreciated.
Attending their meeting to counter their leaders might only land you into problems, it's crystal clear that it's scam project if they ever tried to create hype that it will beat bitcoin in coming years, that's the lamest talk I've heard this year. Creating a thread on popular forums like this one is OK to create awareness, you don't need to be involved physically to disproof them unless you are Police or FBI or whatever armed force.
189  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is happening to new projects? on: November 30, 2019, 08:34:58 PM
What the *eck is going on? we have many good projects coming into crypto space but they mostly end up failing, too many good new projects are dying as if they are been created to just die, what do you think its killing new good projects apart from scam projects?

Good projects you say?? How did you know they are good projects? What idea is within the platform and how experienced is the team? There is no doubt many projects are dying at the same time there are others still striving to stand their grounds. On the other hand, there are certain things killing most projects like the team not having the right skills to market their project adequately, the type of exchange and the partners within that said project.

Greed on the part of the team and also inexperienced team members are the biggest reasons why new projects fail. Looking at old projects like Stellar Lumen, even with their numerous airdrops they still strive over the years because the team has the right strategies and concepts. However, if the team's major aim of enacting the project is to "cash out" (scam) when they hit their target, it's already a failed project waiting for the day to pack up.
190  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Signal Premium?? on: November 30, 2019, 01:06:43 PM
Before joining any 'premium' trading signal platform,  there are many factors to evaluate.  What is it the success rate of the platform, what is the average trading signal frequency and how does it suit your personal time table.  You don't want to be paying for signals that will result in losses for you or are incompatible with your daily schedules.
This is another good point, joining a premium signal which suits your schedule and also knowing their success rate. But why pay for premium signal why you can invest in your knowledge? Learn and get a good mastery of technical analysis, people who are good with it like myself do not have two heads.
191  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Where do you stake? Exchange or wallet? on: November 29, 2019, 06:23:31 PM
Considering the safety of your coins and the simplicity of staking process, do you stake in centralized exchanges or you consider using crypto wallets that supports staking like imtoken, trust and atomic wallet.

Where do you stake?
Obviously staking in compatible wallets with good reputation is safer than staking on centralised exchanges comparatively. However, some coins do not have personal wallet support for staking especially  on mobile, and you know most people make use of mobile devices presently, hence people tend to use supported exchanges in this situation.
192  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why invest on a project because someone said they are good? on: November 29, 2019, 11:05:37 AM
A friend from my street came by today to tell about a coin named LCC (Litecoin cash) and he told me he has already invested on the coin, i asked him what makes him invested in it, like what is the real use case of the coin and he have no straight answer, after a while i found out he invested in the coin because of what a analyst said about the project, are there people like this on here? after so many scams since 2018? i decide to do few diggings and i see that LCC is not that bad but my point is why invest on a project because someone said they are good?
If someone says a project is good, be it an influencer, it's no guarantee that you will make profit when you invest in it. Most times influencers are paid to shill or do a positive review about a project. It's left for investors to do their own due diligence properly, the info gotten from others should just be a clue about the project and not an investment advise.
193  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: successful bounty projects that still cheats on: November 28, 2019, 08:41:54 PM
Few bounty projects that became successful and trading on good exchanges failed to pay bounty hunters, few of them paid half of bounty hunters and ignore the rest.
1. Vidy
2. Nestree
3. Sero project

If you have any you more you can add don't hesitate, now is there any way to get rid of this problem? i know some will say its bounty manager's fault but now that this have happened is there any solution?

SERO actually paid but omitted those who violated bounty terms, they had some very strong guiding rules for their bounty. Well, I'm not in any way supporting them if actually you got cheated, why not create a detailed accusation with valid proof. It's really unfair for projects to reduce reward drastically with no reasons anyway, sometimes they find excuses not to pay and mainly it's not always the manager's fault although sometimes partly.
194  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SCAM ICOs, what we can do? on: November 28, 2019, 01:27:44 PM
DT members can red tag bounty managers who conduct scam ICOs on the Bitcointalk forum. They may also leave negative feedback to users who promote confirmed fraud. Recently, I noticed that some even respected bounty managers do not pay much attention to the credibility of the team. In other words, they do not evince due diligence when they choose a campaign to promote in the forum and social media. As a result, these projects turn out to be an exit scams, which is why investors suffer losses.

Many new tokens immediately drop after the IEO is completed. Perhaps untrustworthy teams sell their tokens and do not fulfill their promises mentioned in the road map. In my opinion, DT members should punish users who start ANN or BOUNTY threads because managers are also responsible for fraudulent projects that they run on the forum.

You really have a great idea here, I think DT members already have been giving red trust to those who manage or promote scam projects. It's always our duty whether as bounty managers or hunters to do proper due diligence before promoting any project. I was so disappointed in a BM when 3 projects managed by him failed on the go, I just pity poor investors of those projects. The best way to combat scam projects is by using common sense when choosing projects to invest and also invest what we can afford to lose which has been a common slogan.
195  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Long term hodl ! What a joke on: November 27, 2019, 06:52:39 PM
One of the golden rules of crypto is to not buy when the price is high. Also do not buy shitcoins hoping they will moon after some months. If you follow those tips judiciously, you will realize that long term hodl is still very much worth it
Long term hold is Worth it only when you are lucky enough to hold coins which will do well in the long run. Also, most times doing proper research when deciding on which coins to hold is very important in this case, even though in some cases it won't be profitable. Sometimes you buy coins by team with great vision, then along the line things fall apart and you regret investing.
196  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: what solutions do make to cover Loss on: November 27, 2019, 01:13:11 PM
There is not one solution who will work for all, is hard to cover all loses but can make to lose a small %, all depends on what coin invest, the time when invest and how much invest and when sell.
Choosing the right coin and knowing the right time to invest is not always as easy as we think with regards making profit. Sometimes we do thorough due diligence and select "the best" altcoins to invest in, looking at factors like the team, product, project development and vision or generally milestones achieved, but sometimes we still get caught up in dip after investing. Talking about knowing the right time to invest, I will be taking a calculated risk to invest huge in Bitcoin by end of January next year in preparation for halving.
197  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Shitcoins got rekt big time! on: November 26, 2019, 09:11:28 PM
The last month, never mind the last few days, have been rather trying for cryptocurrenhttps://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/cies. Bitcoin, at the head of the ecosystem, has fallen substantially, but overall, it is the smaller cryptos, with lower market caps, that appear to have taken the brunt of the bearish turn.

Bitcoin’s own market dominance has been falling in the past few months, almost its price. However, the threat of an altcoin season has far from been realized, as BeInCrypto has previously touched on. In fact, it was pointed out by cryptocurrency analyst Joseph Young (@iamjosephyoung), that the smaller market cap coins have been hit the hardest in this latest drop.


Source link here

It looks like the altcoin season might take a very long while to happen. We are now in the “shitcoin” season. Do you agree guys?

When you mentioned "shitcoin season" it got me laughing 😁 but honestly that's what we are in presently looking at the dwindling market situation. Sometimes I scroll through telegram groups which were super active before token sale and during token sale, now dormant and dumping ground for spam posts. Most projects are built on lie, false claims, greedy developers who will do anything possible to lure in investors, then when they achieve their funding aim, they bounce. That's the more reason why we should be extremely careful when investing in some of these altcoins.

198  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How NOT To Get Scammed on: November 26, 2019, 07:10:32 PM
In Cryptocurrencies, when something sounds too good to be true, then it's definitely too good to be true, I recently saw a group in telegram that was offering Cryptocurrency loans with just 10% collateral, basically you could deposit 1 BTC and collect a loan of 10 BTC, it sounds stupid when I say it like this but the fact is that some starry-eyed newbies would still fall for it, afterall some people still fell for the money doubling schemes.
Sounds funny when people still believe in money doubling, how can one use 1BTC to get 10BTC? Anyone who get scammed in this manner is foolishly greedy. Even on twitter, I see scammers replying tweets from popular crypto influencers saying they are doing a bonanza, send 1 ETH get 2 ETH something of this nature, and people still fall prey. We all need to be wise, common sense is not common.
199  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Trading platforms can't be 100% fair on: November 26, 2019, 05:00:56 PM
There is a high chance that trading platforms aren't 100% fair when you are using them because they have to make money too, when you lose its a gain for them and when you win its a loss for them so why will they want you to always win? i've heard complains about few trading platforms that cheats people for example iqoption, always remember that they will never work for free, they want money just as you want money too
I don't really understand your point when you wrote "when you lose its a gain for them and when you win it's a loss for them", this is obviously not applicable. Do you mean for instance when I make profit trading on Binance it's a loss for them? That's not even reasonable since trading platforms will always make funds from trading and withdrawal fees  so long as users trade. Maybe you should understand the concept of trading, or maybe I didn't get your point of view.
200  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: How exchanges treat the stolen Money? on: November 25, 2019, 04:48:58 PM
I am curious to know, how Exchanges treat the stolen money or hack money? Are they really aware of it? Just think, your fund has been hacked and transferred from your wallet to another wallet and then it's deposited to an exchange. If you claim to the exchange about the money, Are they not responsible for taking necessary action? What do you think?
I'm not really sure about how exchanges can handle this situation but In this case, I think the exchange has no right to seize funds of the person who deposited it, because there is no proper proof to ascertain that the funds were hacked from your wallet. Well maybe some exchanges will temporarily lock the account for investigation purpose if you have a solid proof, and it will be more effective if the hacker is KYC approved on the exchange.
