1861  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto related jobs on: March 20, 2023, 11:13:40 PM
Sorry to ask you this but how to get a telegram moderator job cause I want it too.
I use my Twitter page to follow up on new crypto projects that are coming up. I hit them up both on Twitter and Telegram, giving them my promotional offer, which some declined, but some gave a listening ear. Like the recent one I am working with, I saw the group not being creative, and I kept the group proactive for just a few hours. The next day, I got a DM from the CM with an offer... 

Though that kind of jobs is really  hard to get unless you have a solid portfolio to present to your clients. Remember that the roles they are seeking are most likely very limited when it terms to numbers of slots like for example a community manager, Those roles typically don't exceed 2-3 members for a single project. Having a long term experience and multiple project that you have participated is one of a great advantage of getting that role. A newbie aiming that kind of roles mostlikely will fail given that there are bunch of moderators that has their own solid edge are fighting for that roles.

It's actually not that hard, and I don't even have any drafts of a portfolio that I show to my clients. The hard part of the job for me is getting my clients''attention;n; that's it.
In some groups we are about 3-4 moderators base on the time schedule 6 hourly some times 2 active moderator per shift.
Translation, some paying airdrops, shilling, project moderator, and bounty campaigns. These are some of the paying activities I know wherein a user or individual may use in order to generate profit from this industry without any means of monetary investment other time and effort. Bounty campiagns should be the best option, problem is meeting the requirement which often requires high forum rank. Next is airdrops but unfortunately, you'll need to find the one which is paying; most are not. In translation, a good portfolio would be needed first which means there is something you have to work for, in order for you to be able to join and be paid afterwards. Bottomlime is altering monetary capital by effort and determination.
1862  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is ETH the King of Altcoins ? on: March 20, 2023, 10:18:24 PM
Ethereum is the largest smart contract platform and one of the most successful altcoins with a significant market capitalization. Whether it can be considered the "King of Altcoins" is subjective and dependent on personal opinions.

I would have to say yes, it's a king. But as we know from the history, Ethereum also can we dethroned. Just give it a time.
For the same reason that it has one of the larget chain in this industry its market price is one of the lewding when it comes on both uptrend and downtrend, simply showing how influential it is, in this industry. We could really say yes if it is among altcoins given that this coin is also believed to be next to Bitcoin, but only with some aspects. Other coins are still having a higher rate of increase during bullrun but that's another story and will be depending on investor's preference. But in terms of overall sustainability in the price charts, for sure Ethereum will always be at the top. It even has almost the same market price pattern as Bitcoin. Simply proving that it is one of the best asset in cryptoindustry.
1863  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are We Going To See $30,000 Price Before the End of This week on: March 20, 2023, 09:54:06 PM
End of this moneth, there's a possibility. The market is not continuously increasing. Also, the volume isn't that big to make the increase consistent. Corrections still may enter the market which could pull down the market price by $20k- $24k. As long as there is no strong enough reason for such thing to happen, we should be worry of the market price behavior. Never be too confident that things would rise smoothly. Low market volume should be an indicator of a bearish market but what we are seeing is the other way around. You can make profit with this kind of market price direction but to go all in, is not advisable yet as long as there is no clear trend line in the chart. The market became more unpredictable but atleast, we are seeing that it is slowly crawling its way up again to its ATH.
1864  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: how much money is considered as "invest only what you can afford to lose" on: March 20, 2023, 09:33:53 PM
No specific. If you can only invest 10bucks or $100, that would be fine. Bottomline, it should be an amount you won't hurt your feelings if ever the market will crash in an instant and there will be partial loss on your invested amount.It should be an amount you won't use if incase an emergency happened, and also, an amount you won'y use to buy something. This is what is ideal but I do get the point; there's no such thing as an amount we can afford losing because that is the sole reason why we engaged in this industry or investment field in general; to earn profit. But atleast use an amount that won't put you at the edge of the cliff, if ever things go the other way around as planned.
1865  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Staking advice needed on: March 20, 2023, 03:25:35 PM
For a long term holder / investor, what are the risks available with staking coins and tokens that you plan to hold for a long period of time? I want to know if its safe to keep your coins in staking instead of just holding them in a wallet when your ultimate plan is to hold for long term.
Being left out or squeezed in the middle. Some staking procedures has this thing called terms. There are times tokens won't be allowed to be withdrawn or will just be locked for a period of time. Problem is, not all investors would engage to staking, meaning, tokens will continue circulating on a particular chain which could trigger changes with the market price. So if it happen that your funds are locked, and downtrend occurs, then you'll be left with no other choice but to endure and close your eyes from seeing the market turn red. Also, in most instances, after a period of staking, tokens are being sold in an instant in order to save oneself from lossesm Those who will sell last are the ones to suffer.
1866  Economy / Economics / Re: Could Bitcoin one day become the global reserve currency? on: March 20, 2023, 02:52:42 PM
Bitcoin is a technology that makes our life easier. It does not melt in the face of inflation like fiat currencies. It frees us from the bondage of banks, as it allows us to transfer money without the need for third parties. It has great features.

- However, despite being a new technology, it has very high energy consumption. However, everyone would like it to consume less energy.

- Also, it has been known and traded for years but still has very high volatility. With this appearance, it scares new investors. Because everyone expected it to have a more balanced price performance.

- World history is full of wars. Perhaps we are living through one of the best periods in history. But because of us homosapiens, our world is very prone to chaos. Coins that do not have an armed force behind them, such as Bitcoin, may be a little unlucky in this regard.

I think these three problems may not be solved and these three problems may prevent bitcoin from being a reserve currency.

What do you think about the subject? Can you share some enlightening information for me?

It's highly unlikely Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency could ever achieve this status, not least because the USA gets a lot of perks from hosting this status and would put up an incredible fight before they relinquish it. They're more likely to ban cryptocurrency outright if the idea of this threat were to ever become real, that would naturally prevent it from happening as they are one of the largest and most dynamic economies in the world. There is another issue that is more likely to prevent it from happening - Bitcoin is too inflexible, sure you can go to infinite decimal places, but that kind of defeats the supposed "zero inflation" ability and the transaction ability is simply not fast enough, plus there will be the ever present danger of a 51% attack or other vulnerability.
Instability alone is in contrast with the concept of a currency reserve. Anything which market price is changing from time to time, is a no-no for savings or reserve as termed in this topic. If it is reserve, you are not seeking for profit potential but rather, security of funds and stability if not upward market price movement. But as long as there is risk of a downfall with its price, then that is already something to consider not to. Zero inflation? it won't be aided that way. With regards to transactions, there are many rooms for improvement because right now, transactions ruch through numerous chains in order to be sent which makes it slow. But as this industry is expanding over years, such feat would be solved afterwards. It is just volatility of this asset which is the bottomline.
1867  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is the first success story on: March 20, 2023, 02:05:25 PM
My First Bitcoin Success Story.

When the price of Bitcoin drops a lot. Then I buy bitcoins with some of my savings. And tell my friends to buy some bitcoins too.  A few of my friends bought some bitcoins with me.
First of all congratulations on your success in investing in Bitcoin. You have taken a big risk because people usually don't spend their savings money unnecessarily but you have invested your savings money in Bitcoin. But if you had not taken this risk, you would never have achieved success. You are successful today because you took risks.

Now with me who was buying bitcoins. They are very happy. Their dreams have come true.

And those who criticized a lot. They are regretting it now.
Then I told them. It is not right to comment on something without researching it.  I have been doing a lot of research on Bitcoin. Then investing and asking others to do it.  Now they are showing a lot of interest in Bitcoin.
Today the social system is such that when you go to do something people will tell you different things and through different words they will try to stop you from doing it. In the first stage you will be criticized a lot, you will see many close people criticizing you, but when you achieve success with the same work, you will see that there is no shortage of people to praise you, those who criticized you will be jealous of you. So never listen to the words of the critics, always keep your mind focused on the work you do, hoping that success will come one day or the other.
Sharing what benefits you, would be a good thing to do but it would be a different story if you are assuming for the same result which pushed you to invite them. Keep in mind how risk is present in this technology. If you, yourself is sometimes having trouble with market patterns and such, how come won't they be as well? Be careful also on inviting your friends. Tendencies are high that once they suffered from loss, it would be you to be blame by other people simply because they'd more be interested with the pros, disregarding the cons. I'd more prefer letting them teach themselves and learn for themselves. I can answer questions but initiative should really start from them.
1868  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What Bitcoin services do we need for mass adoption? on: March 19, 2023, 11:46:52 PM
For mass adoption to take place, regulation of this technology is the only way. Many people are still in doubt of this technology simply because of the risk involved. It would be a downward process; Countries to big organizations to small investors and to normal people. In order for normal people to trust this technology, it should be first acknowledged by big industries first. And I doubt it is services Bitcoin is needing for such thing to occur. Bitcoin is simply a digital currency and will only be used as an alternative mode of payment to fiat. It just happened that volatility exist which generates profit for those who manage to make use of the changes on their market price from time to time.
1869  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New projects come out when bull market begin. on: March 19, 2023, 11:17:16 PM
Simply because there is a higher probability for new projects to succeed during bullish trend because it is a common belief in this industry, as I assuume. High market demand means high market prices and investors are just reacting to such opportunity. Releasing a project during bearish market would more likely pull your project down leading to unsuccessful release on their public sale.
Hello i just want to ask if i you guys also notice when the bitcoin rise there are also a lot of new projects come out and if bitcoin fall there are only few projects build, is it because some projects developer notice that most of the successful projects are build in bull market and most of the projects build on bear market are failed? Or they don't care about bull and bear market and they build thier project because the time is already been set?
Yes because new projects aims to get more and more investors, in bear market people are afraid to take a risk and spend their money because something might happen. Project owners doesn't want to have a delay launch of their prototypes as well, that's why they more prefer to build or launch their projects when market recovers or when bull run happens.
Indeed, this assumption does not mean that things are absolute just like there is a pattern. It is just a common belief which creates a big wave in the demand. Unfortunately, many potent projects were drowned during bearish market. Simply shows that timing is really something to be considered.
1870  Economy / Economics / Re: Scarcity of money on: March 19, 2023, 10:40:05 PM
I think OP misintrepreted what scarcity is.
There is no scarcity with fiat money simply because the only ones which suffers from such instance are those whoch has demand from the market or things being bought; fiat money is not and is just only a tool in every transaction. Scarcity is simply a state wherein the stock of a particular thing is being in short, in particular with the supply.
There is no scarcity of money in much places well except for Nigeria which was caused by poor decision from the body/organization in charge of the nations finances.

Apart from Nigeria I don’t think there is scarcity of money everywhere there is just scarcity on the means to earn money. That’s why the masses are finding it very difficult now around the world.
A different case I guess. Nigeria is suffering from inflation of market goods. The prices are becoming expensive but not because of the quantity of their money but its value which falls in a long run. This country is subject for hyperinflation, meaning, the worth of their currency is continuously falling as they print more.
1871  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Planting a tree and investing in bitcoins should wait a certain period of time. on: March 19, 2023, 09:59:37 PM
I get the idea and it does make sense. But on investment, there's this thing called short term and long term investment which varies depending on what type of an investor you are. Some would engage to short term investment especially those who are seeking for faster profit, downside of this is the risk since you'd more likely react with every changes in the market price. In long term investment, it is indeed like planting a tree. Has risks as well but not as high with short term. Risk is lack of assurance that in a long run, the market price will continuously increase and also, it will require you to be patient enough in order to endure partial losses as you wait.
You can actually get the seeds for free from the other trees and keep planting regardless...
How? Doing some bounties or any tasks/jobs or airdrops that will give you Bitcoin? I think yes this is possible before but now, it seems more difficult because you start to give your most of time before you get seeds for free. You need to work hard for that. And always don't rely on free seeds in this world, everything now already have a cost or you need to work for it before you can get it.
What's bad on getting seeds from hard work? Nit all people has the capital in the first place to invest. And finding another way to engage with the same motive, is more amazing, than to wait for things to be in favor on your end.
1872  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Future of play to earn games on: March 19, 2023, 03:12:12 PM
for now play to earn has been abandoned by many people, because it is no longer profitable, but if in the future there are big game companies that make new innovations about play to earn, then maybe play to earn will be of interest to many people again, because for now there is no play to earn that gives profit like axie and metamon (which I have played), so people stop playing and invest in play to earn, but I'm still sure if play to earn can back in existence and booming again in the future (just waiting for the market to recover).
On my point of view, plat to earn gaming were just mismanaged. The concept is good but overall sustainability of these projects would determine how long will it last to both mainstream and mentioned industry in general. There are still P2E games which are existing at the present but not as promising as before because of the changes they have implied which were meant to seek betterment but ended up the other way around. New ones on the other hand only lasts for a month before a crash with their tokens' market price. But the potential for P2E is still there and probably, improvements are just needed in the future. Once big companies enter P2E for sure it would be a gamechanger which would help cathing the interests of their players and other investors.
1873  Economy / Economics / Re: Is there anything like Bitcoin savings? on: March 19, 2023, 01:30:16 PM
None if you are referring to something being regulated by an organization. But you can save an amount on your own and to your wallet. But in such way, you would be the only one liable for that asset such as if it gets hacked or stolen, there will be no such thing as with insurances and contracts likewise with banking institutions. The only pro in this instance is avoiding to be taxed in every transaction and will also be faster than with fiat savings.
Saving to bitcoin is a fun thing, before bitcoin arrived, many people saved to banks, but when we want to withdraw, we have to queue to the bank and it takes time to withdraw, the presence of bitcoin makes it easy because we can store or control money quickly, no matter how the large number of bitcoins that we save, some even store up to millions of dollars worth in 1 wallet.

That is really the problem that is why others are questioning also when you go to over the counter to withdraw your money they will need identification but yes it is a security measure but you will ask in your self why do you giving your identification even if it is your money unlike in bitcoin you can be your own bank you can withdraw anytime you want and no holidays. Also can be your investment too meaning you'll gaining profit when the price increase and you'll lose when it decrease
Identity in banks are simply to secure your savings and they won't be a threat on you simply because they are registered under government sector. So definitely these are two different things and there is no need to compare.
Profit potential is indeed bigger with cryptocurrencies because of market price volatility but also promotes risk of partial loss, which is something an investor should consider other than security alone.
1874  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I found my Bitcoin books from 2016 on: March 19, 2023, 12:41:53 PM
Nostalgic indeed. Those days were I think the market price of Bitcoin arise. The next year is when market prices reached and broke the all time high and afterwards correction occur, the rest is history.
I think newbies should read this thread so they understand better why it’s important to use open sourced wallets like Electrum. I’m sorry you lost your bitcoins using non custodial wallets. I’m not familiar with free wallet, they probably shut down before I got into the crypto space. Xapo wallet is not even a real bitcoin wallet, they do not give users private keys or seed phrase. I have read bad reviews about them on the forum and online.
Like Mahirap said, there was nothing else you could have done at the time. You used the resources you had to take care of your little bro. That’s something to be proud of. You didn’t let your challenges stop you, on the bright sided it opened your eyes to learning more about bitcoin. 2018 till date is good enough time to learn and save some bitcoins. I hope you’re seeing good results.
Showing such examples is very important so that as many people as possible can avoid this mistake. By the way, I read that Electrum is also not the best wallet for storing bitcoins, in my opinion, a large amount was recently stolen from someone here on the forum, although I did not understand how this happened.

In any case, a hardware wallet today is considered a reliable way to store our bitcoins.
Another impact is for the new ones to realize that things aren't easy in this industry. Many 'professionals' at the present started from scratch and they simply showed their determination which brought them to where they are at the present.
I read in your story about the Xapo wallet and remembered the story associated with it, I also used it once to collect Satoshi from different sites and games and at one point I just forgot about it because I started using other wallets.And that year my friend called me and said that he received a letter in the mail that the service would be closed and withdraw his money.I checked my balance and was surprised that there was about 200 dollars.Such finds are very encouraging.
Yeah, it is good old days. I am very happy that time when I withdraw 10$ free in a week using faucets only. I think it is around 2017 or earlier 2018, there are many faucets that will give you free Satoshi and eth as well. Many people that time think that crypto is not real and it is only for MLM and it is only use to scam people, many of my friends that time didn't believe but now I see they are already invested on it.
Faucets are indeed a thing which gave profit to the early users in this industry. Also, the profitable signature campaigns way back those years. This reminded me of the feeling when I first earned my payout from the first project I engaged myself into which was already big back then. Airdrops as well are mostly paying before unlike with what we are seeing right now wherein most are not. Brings back indeed good memories.
1875  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Project's Price after got exploited on: March 18, 2023, 09:29:59 PM
Most of the new project tokens are falling upon the release in the market sinply because bounty hunters and pre-sale investors often choose to not hold for a long period of time. It is just how altcoin projects work unless it has really of a huge potential. It is a matter of palying safely because holding new released tokens could either generate bigger or smaller profit from doing so.
I was uncertain about their hack, many devs had come up with that trick after getting money from the investors. I'm not saying it was another scam project but with the tragic fall and no recovery, we can never think it was a good investment either nor we can think it rise high with that previous price ($4). And if you keep holding that coin, the more losses you will ever get. Better throw them away and invest in other projects because it was hopeless as per to say seeing that another straight line below $1. I'm afraid it going to drop more when more investors dump their coins as well before you did it.
I doubt with hack related issues but more of taking profit procedures upon the release of a project to the audiences. Those who are not new in this industry surely knows how the market prices behave which could be risky if to go against toe-to-toe. If you ain't ready for enduring market behavior there ar othere indicators to check out such as overall market survey of its potential.
1876  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Fair Value of Bitcoin on: March 18, 2023, 06:29:59 PM
i do laugh when people think price is value
i also laugh when people think that value does not exist or is a whole random set of numbers that become meaningless

its like they think a pint of milks value is the retail price
even though the actual value starts at the cost to milk the cow an pasteurise it

what happens after that is where middle men make profit and sell and resel until it reaches the retail market

yet if people can get milk for less then retail then the retail price is not the underlying value

the PRICE is the speculative thing.. not value
the PRICE changes and has unpredictability. but the underlying value is measurable and not volatile

heck even back in 2010 when markets were first being made. they knew about value vs price

people in the CPU solo mining era worked out their PC would have a lifespan of 5 years so they calculated how much that would be per month/week/day

then they calculated how many blocks/coins they would get per day/week/month

and also how much electric they used over the period

..
then and only then they would work out how much profit they wanted. and how much demand their was and how much they wanted to keep hold of vs sell. to come up with a preferential(emotionally driven) PRICE they would want to sell for and refuse to sell below

back then it worked out as cents per btc..

costs have increased over the years and now the bottom is many many thousands of dollars underlying cost

and again. working out of all the peoples different costs. you see a void area at the bottom where no ones costs can come below. and thats the bottomline value

but hey if codebear wants to think currency has no value and is just random.. thats on him for not thinking outside of the retail market
Difference between market price and market value; one is certain and definite, other one is changing depending on the demand. In market value, there's no such thing as fair number. Likewise with Bitcoin wherein market price is changing from time to time. Actually, market price volatility should be a disadvantage for a currency but it happened that investors of this technology managed to adapt with this caharacteristic and was able to make use of the changes in order to generate profit in a long run. Just like with other assets such as stocks and properties, Bitcoin happened to have a MORE volatile market price simply because investors making these changes. Same thing would happen with stocks' value but agreement and regulation plays a role with its price, unlike definitely with cryptocurrencies.
1877  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Banks are collapsing. Will Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies rise from here?? on: March 18, 2023, 04:58:29 PM
I doubt.  In the first place there are many banks around existing. The fact that Bitcoin is not yet accepted across many countries, is already making this assumption sketchy. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are still lacking consistency and acknowledgement from government sectors. Banks are simply under government institutions so more likely, the replacement should be as well having the same characteristic in order to promote consistency with the 'system'. Also it would be a risky move to do by local governments.
a few banks don't make a collaps
It takes way more. There are thousands of banks worldwide and only a few hundred are involved in their mutal destruction scheme called futures, dept papers, derivates and such. Most from the 1rst world, so 3rd world Banks are stilkl hung up in the 18.th century.
But it is true and many banking institutions are struggling at this point yielding to collapse on their industry. Developments in this technology is indeed potent enough and promising but for sure there are underlying  factors why this concern is not yet fully resolved.
1878  Economy / Economics / Re: Has anyone felt lost in pursuit of financial freedom ? on: March 18, 2023, 03:52:48 PM
Not surprising. Financial freedom won't be achieved in a single year even if you have a decent job. Being financially free means uou are not worry of any amount of expenses. Unless you'd be on executive position in a company which could give you a well compensated salary. But most of the time, financial freedom could be accessed through businesses or other investments. But since we are talking about investments, uncertainty is tied with the concept itself; being uncertain of profit to be earned. Risk will always be present. But that is how things are being done. You need to embrace the risk in order to achieve freedom not only financially but also with other aspects of an individual.
1879  Economy / Speculation / Re: will bitcoin continue to rise on: March 18, 2023, 03:11:03 PM
Should be on speculation I guess. But if we would base on charts and price actions, the market behavior is currently and still bullish for not falling to buyer's area still. But for sure it would give us a hard time because it is continuously falling and increasing as time is passing by. But if we would base with the behavior itself, it could either go up crossing $32k or fall down til $20k. No one is certain, for sure. What we need for a clear trend line to occur is for an enough reason to take place in or for this industry.
hello, all my friends... now the price of bitcoin has increased quite a lot... and now bitcoin is in the range of 27000.
but I want to ask do you think the price of bitcoin will continue to rise until it reaches 50000 or not... ?I want to hear it from all of you...
and if I sell my bitcoin now I'm afraid the price of bitcoin will fly even higher... I want to hear your opinion...?

You are participating in a bitcoin forum, and with this type of question, what would you expect the answer to be? And I also agree with everyone, bitcoin will rise and hit new ATH in the future. But if you are not confident enough to hold and are already profitable then you can sell your bitcoins. When you have more faith in it, you can invest whenever you are ready.
Biases are more likely to be told but what should we expect? Ofcourse we would prefer positive viewpoint in this industry than for people to suffer from their losses on FOMOs. ATH for sure is still far from the present but good things are in line already and the only thing we should do is to be patient.
