1921  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are you newbie looking for perceive income? Just be careful of AIRDROP on: May 12, 2020, 08:02:21 PM
If you are newbie and you are looking for ways of making some  Bitcoin and other altcoin, be very CAREFUL with AIRDROP campaign as many of them out there are out to scam/milk you with the little ones at your disposal. Sometimes, they are out to get your personal information like email address, etc and sell it out for money.
Some of them will tell you to send some amount of BTC or ethereum to their address as fee for you to get the aclaimed airdrop reward of which they will later run away and mute their telegram channel.

Be warn is to be armed.

Well, airdrop is a free event to get some cryptocurrencies from a specific or certain project which is held to disseminate free cryptos so you do not have to pay for it. It will be an obvious scam in airdrop if someone will ask you to send out some Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies to be able to claim your reward because it must not be that way. Actually airdrops are safe events and can provide you assurance to have part on the distribution of coins depending on the number of participants registered on that event. It is easy to know or identify a scam airdrop once it was already asking you to send amount on a specified crypto wallet. That must be a thing that newbies need to know so that they won't get victimized by scam airdrop events.
1922  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum prices may touch $250 soon so hodl on to them on: May 12, 2020, 07:37:05 PM
Ethereum had quiet a nice rally till we witnessed a minor bump in it’s prices, but for what it’s worth it also found strong resistance at $202 levels and has once again started bouncing upwards. According to this article it’s showing all the signs of crossing the $250 levels soon, and hence I feel that we should hold on to our Ethereum coins, and not rush into selling them. Furthermore when do you’ll think will Ethereum prices cross the $250 levels mark, pre or post the halving event?.

Source:

https://www.newsbtc.com/2020/05/03/ethereum-eth-gearing-for-lift-off-to-250/

https://cryptoslate.com/ethereum-2-0-launch-and-bitcoin-halving-are-2-perfect-catalysts-for-a-bull-run/

It would really be a great thing once that thing happen that the price of Ethereum will get up into rising in $250 marker. As we can observe from its recent price behavior of Ethereum in the past months, we can see that it is quite struggling to rise up or at least maintain its price in $200 marker like what we can see right now if we will be going to search on its price which have a current price at $191~$192 that is still far from the expectation of $250. It will really be a great thing to see Ethereum's price to be rising up once again since it is one of the potential coins that can be seen in the market knowing that it once pumps up massively way back 2017 and it can be considered the most popular and most used crypto next to Bitcoin. Having Ethereum's price rising will somehow bring positivity despite of the current situation we are having right now so better keep on hodling them until such time the price reaches into a desired price increase.
1923  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Leaving Bitcoin as inheritance on: May 11, 2020, 03:07:05 PM
If I die, my family can use my death certificate to rescue all my money from bank and appropriate all my posses.

But not bitcoin, I was thinking about how to leave bitcoins as inheritence in a safe way, minimizing risks of be stolen by my own family (still if I trust my family, they can store improperly the keys and be stolen, or forced to deliver).

The perfect solution, in my opinion, is a mechanism whithout intervention that reveal my keys to my family, this could be done if I do not access some service for a month, or if I don't store some stuff in the blockchain for a month or ... I don't know a solution. And only my family could access my keys, possibly they have keys that allow then to access my keys.

An good solution could be some artifact, like a file, that I can send to my family, or left it stored online and thar artifact could reveal my keys only to my family.

My basic ideia is:
1 - Encript the keys with your password, but must be a very strong password, resilient to brute force atack.
2 - Print the encripted keys in paper or some more durable medium and store securely in your home.
3 - Reveal to your family a limited set of characters with wich they can sucefuly find the password using brute force, in a short time.
4 - If you die, your family must get into your home/safe box, get the encripted keys and use the characters to perform a brute force atack in order to get the keys.

Does anyone have think about leaving bitcoin as inheritance? Is there already some solution to this? Thoughts?

Remind, Covid-19 is over here.

It seems like you are already getting ready to have your last will and testament to be prepared once you die. Well, that was really a problem because your assets (money) stored in your bank as well as your properties are easy to be stated in the legal document because it has already a legal process since it is clearly stated as you owned. But when it comes to cryptocurrency like Bitcoin to be left as your last will seem to be hard because privacy is the main thing we are all protecting when it comes to our accounts. We cannot just entrust it into anyone having your private key or password because they can already have an easy access on it once known. But if you are really wondering how you will leave it as inheritance, then you may at least leave some clues to be able for your family to have an access on it. But I think since they will be your beneficiary once you die, I think it will be best to directly give them the access since they were the once who will be having it. But in any cases that you don't know and no one do really know when a person will die, maybe writing it on a piece of paper your private key or access to your account and include it into your last will for your family to have it directly.
1924  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to improve the usability of bitcoin? on: May 11, 2020, 06:08:41 AM

1925  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Too good to be real projects on: May 08, 2020, 10:32:17 AM
That is why we do really need to be observant on every details stated on a project to better know and assess if such idea is possible to be made in reality. Other details or project ideas are somewhat fantasy or exaggeration only to caught the attention of the people specially the potential investors to be able fund the project. But better be wise before entrusting your money into any project because it is your money that will be used to fund the project so you better be a wise man to assess the project first. Not all interesting details in a project were seems to be true so you do really have to do thorough research about such project so that you are sure you are engaging into a realistic project that can be implemented into reality.
1926  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will blockchain able to fight against COVID-19 on: May 08, 2020, 09:34:06 AM
COVID-19 is taking a heavy toll on Europe. The death toll in Italy rose exponentially, with more than 200 deaths being recorded in the past 24 hours and the number of infected cases surpassing 12,000. The charity organization announced to use blockchain technology for funds raising. The chief motive behind the campaign is to reduce stress on hospitals. Hope everything goes according to the plans.


The usage of blockchain technology will be totally relevant at this point of time because to be able to resolve this pandemic what we need is a cure, vaccine or medication to end this one. Blockchain technology can just help on fund raising to be able to support or fund people who are working to find the cure to this virus which is most commonly or mainly in the field of medicine and science which are the microbiologist, scientists and anyone related to formulate the cure for the virus. Blockchain technology can help but not directly because a cure is in need and not a project based on technology. But it can help in a sense, but what we really need for now is a direct cure to totally resolve this one.
1927  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I want to know whether it is right to join bounties? on: May 08, 2020, 09:12:30 AM
Hello friends, I want to know whether it is right to join bounties?
I have seen many threads where people say that your account should be kept clean.
Does the bounty task (Reporting) spoil posting history?
Actually, I want to rank up my account and do some earning, Is it possible both can be done?

Please help me with this what should I do?

Of course. If you do really want to earn and rank up, getting into bounty will be a good thing to do most specially when you are into signature campaign because you will have engagement in this forum wherein you can create quality posts that are worthy to be merited by members in the forum to be able to rank up since we are now into a merited system unlike the old days wherein you just need to attain needed number of post per rank to be able to upgrade your account. You can do both at the same time as long as you are creating quality posts, then you can be able to rank up and since you want to engage into a bounty, then you can be able to earn a living. You just need to work hard and assure you are making everything at its best so that you can be able to rank faster for higher payment rates designated per rank.
1928  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Safe to join campaign does not mean rewarding campaign on: May 08, 2020, 07:54:40 AM
This year, in abid to join the best bounties around to flex the time; several peeps have highlighted numerous bounty programs and tagged them safe due to the team reputation, the projects product output, and because it is listed on a reputable.

It has given different results, with Hex price skyrocketing, while burn and spyce struggles; And the safe sheng also removed kyc as requirements.
I urge every hunter, to realize that while selecting safe bounties to join; also join because you will get profits from trading your rewards.

Do your researches, evaluate your chances of earning well; before joining.

I agree. Though it is very important to check the credibility and legality of the bounty campaign we wish to get engage, it is also important to see whether we will be having a good time with it or will I our engagement be worthy in a sense that we will be earning good money from it. As a bounty hunter, we are not just seeking for safe campaigns but we are also taking into consideration the rewards we can obtain from it because it is one of the reason why we are seeking bounty campaigns to have a work to do wherein we can earn an income. Upon seeking for a good bounty campaign, we are also seeking for good offers that is suitable for our preference then we get to know the project wherein we do thorough research because the offer gets our interest making us to participate on it. It is not just all about the safety (though it is the very first thing we must check) but also the reward we can obtain because we are applying for a job to earn income.
1929  Economy / Economics / Re: You want to get rich, don’t pay taxes, don’t get married, don’t use bank, and... on: May 08, 2020, 06:30:24 AM
Why it is in need to have too many don't in life if there are other ways if you do really want to get rich. Actually I am against on all the ideas the O.P have stated because I think those were unnecessary and seems to be irrational. Not paying taxes to the government is an illegal action because as a citizen, you need to have a share of responsibility in your country. Do not put generalization that government is making use of our taxes for their own sake because taxes serves as back up fund in terms of calamity just like what we are facing right now. Don't get married is a choice. If you do not want to have family then it is just fine but it does not mean that when you are not married you can already get rich. It is your choice if you will use banks or not. But it will be safe to use it if you have lots of money or even a handful so that it will be keep safe and have an interest rate. No one will ever get rich without working. Seems to be funny that being jobless can make you rich which is quite impossible. Do not rely on chances of luck because if you really wanted to get rich, then move and do an action because getting rich do also have to take full responsibility.
1930  Economy / Economics / Re: The pandemic outcome on: May 08, 2020, 04:39:18 AM
Actually after this pandemic, we still cannot expect that everything will get back easily to normal because there will be further adjustments needed while there are still no cure or vaccine for the virus. Here in our country there is already a flattening of the curve happening on the increase of cases so we are slowly adjusting into re-opening the economy to produce goods and services and implementing the so called "new normal" on which we are still into doing adjustment and precautionary measures while there is still no cure for the virus. Up to this point in time, we must be able to at least have some reservation of cash on hand to spend with to sustain necessities and at least already seek for opportunities like having extra source of income. Also avoid getting loans because it is hard to pay specially at this point in time and it might just lead you to debt.
1931  Economy / Economics / Re: The positive impact ~ on: May 08, 2020, 03:25:51 AM
Despite of the negative effects that this pandemic have brought to our world, still there is a positive side happening within this crisis. We have lots of things to learn from this and wish that this will embody each and every one of us. The positive thing that happen is that our world is healing on itself due to the fact that the emittance of pollution have been lessen because of the lockdown. Also, we have appreciated to be concern about our health status to keep ourselves away from being infected by the virus. Despite of the negative happenings, still there are things that are positive to be seen in this situation. Let us not all focus into the negativities because there is always two side of the situation. It just matters how we will perceive it.
1932  Economy / Economics / Re: How many people have been panic selling? I didn't. on: May 07, 2020, 11:34:21 PM
I do not come up into thinking to do a panic selling despite of the current situation we do have because I do have my full to the cryptocurrencies I do have in my account. I am confident enough that my assets can survive and bounce back even at this crisis so I would not do any panic selling. I will just sit back and find more opportunities to buy more cryptocurrencies while they are still at low price so that once the prices have recovered, then I will be benefited. Why would someone do panic selling if he have trust on the cryptocurrencies he hold?
1933  Economy / Economics / Re: China’s second corona wave can it crush it’s economy? on: May 07, 2020, 11:09:04 PM
Just when we thought that China had banished corona from it’s land suddenly new cases began to pop up at record pace, and now the health experts believe that it could be a second potential wave of Coronavirus in China. At this stage China will once again be forced to go into lockdown, and do you’ll think that it’s economy will be able to recover quickly from this second lockdown too?.

https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/china-coronavirus-cases-hit-highest-21857013



I think China can still manage to bounce back their economy once again if ever the threat of the second wave of Coronavirus will sprout. But admit it or not, the second wave will be alarming since there is still no cure or vaccine for the said pandemic so it will be a big threat once again if there will be no actions done to control the spread of the virus. May this second wave be contained only at China so that no nearby countries will be affected once again like Philippines who is already struggling because of the declination of their economic status because of the pandemic which brings economic crisis due to temporary closure of industries that create jobs for people to be able to have a production of goods and services. No doubt a big country like China can be able to recover that fast but how about the nearby countries that have difficulties on managing their resources once the virus spread out and we still do not have any cure for it.
1934  Economy / Economics / Re: Where and How to Spend Your Bitcoins? on: May 07, 2020, 10:36:15 PM
It depends on the owner on how he will manage on using or spending his own Bitcoin. Every individual have their own ways and perception on how they can effectively use their Bitcoin. On my case, I would use my Bitcoin the way it is supposedly use which is a currency using a wallet provided or generated by our own country for us users to be able to use it in any way we do want. It can be used to pay bills, buy loads and even buy goods and services to partner merchants and do it on a cashless transaction. But on the wallet we use in our country, we do still need to convert it into our currency so technically we are not directly using Bitcoin all alone. So far, the way I use my Bitcoin is to purchase goods and services for it is the possible way I can be able to use my  Bitcoin effectively.
1935  Economy / Economics / Re: Anybody here trying to live bankless (using Bitcoin / cryptocurrencies)? on: May 07, 2020, 10:10:58 PM
Yes I do want to live bankless which uses Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for my daily basis but even if I do want to, I can't because here in my country, even our national bank is not supporting the usage of cryptocurrencies even though it is not illegal but we must just use it for our own risk. Also, here in my country, we poorly lack of cryptocurrency adaptability so even we want to use cryptocurrency to purchase our needs, we cannot do it directly because we are still relying into a fiat system which is cash based. Adaptability is the main problem I have which prohibits me to freely use my cryptos and go bankless because cash is the main currency that is available here in my country which can be considered a reason why I do need bank account of my own.
1936  Economy / Economics / Re: Crisis after the epidemic on: May 07, 2020, 09:39:02 PM
How long do you think the crisis can last after the epidemic?
What are the most likely events to occur?

No one know when or what will exactly be the date that this pandemic would come to an end. As long as there is no cure, vaccine or medication being released to resolve this pandemic, we could expect that this will not easily come to an end. Most likely because of this pandemic, the major affected sector is the economic since man power is down or reduced because of the implementing lockdown brought by the quarantine to help lessen the spread of virus, the production of goods and services are temporarily down but still massively affecting the economical state of every country affected by this pandemic. Even if after this pandemic, we still cannot expect that everything would easily be back to normal because we are like starting from scratch fixing everything and starting from new to build up more progressive economy for the people.
1937  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin was mentioned in the TV Show Billions on: May 07, 2020, 08:49:03 PM
In addition to that, here[1] our some of other Bitcoin scene in television shows.

First one was aired on January 2012 when bitcoin worth $33. Damnnnn!


[1] https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin_references_in_TV_Shows

Wow. It was really do fascinating that even before have soar high, it has already been publicized through television way back 2012 wherein it's price is too far away beyond from the current price it have right now. Who would have thought that as time passes by, Bitcoin started its price as base of $33 would grow into thousand of dollars at this time. It is just awesome that even before the popularity it have right now, it has already been known to televisions. Well, exposing or mentioning Bitcoin at show like Billions will be a good thing to let more people know about Bitcoin's existence because even if it has already been well-known, still lots of people certainly do not know about it. Publicizing Bitcoin through television is a good thing to popularize it so that many people will consider getting into it.
1938  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cryptocurrency fraud and scams on: May 07, 2020, 08:25:30 PM
how they happen and how you need to pay attention to safeguard yourself against them.
The Computer Science saw a different phase when cryptography mechanism was introduced with Bitcoin. With this big of a change, threats of fraud increased, to safeguard from these malicious activity is extremely important. Startups without blockchain should not be trusted at all. Before committing to any company, their credentials should be reviewed.
There are many fake ICOs that can scam people easily. The best way is to do research before being affiliated to that exchange. Another way is to send an email and ask about the exchange to be cautious. Phishing is another way to scam people, by asking their details and asking them to invest their Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. Fake Airdrops and Punycode are most common tricks.
There are many unregulated brokers that can lure clients in lower prices and trading products and fast returns. So, one needs to be vigilant. The automated trading systems are not scams but  they will take any opportunity to earn profits. Exchanges will charge an unfair amount to withdraw, the best way to avoid is to already be aware of exchanges price differences.
Fake emails look so authentic but at the end they are still fake. Check every bit of information before acting upon it. Many companies copy and paste some other company’s whitepaper, rather than having an original idea of their own.
Most exchanges use fake information for their team members. To be careful one must look for incomplete or inconsistent information and odd details.Inconsistent texts or details on any part of the website is also a red flag. One should read and proofread to be sure.
People should run scans to look for any Bitcoin miner or bot in the system. Companies will do anything for money, to ensure safety and security right websites should be used. There is a lot of responsibility one needs to practice in order to be careful.


Scams and frauds that relates to cryptocurrency usage is not already a new issue at this point of time because it is already happening ever since the cryptocurrency existence have started. Scammers are really out everywhere that it seems no one should easily be trusted without doing further researching about anything related to cryptocurrency in order to secure your safety and the security of your cryptocurrencies. Nowadays, it is best to always do seek information about that thing you wish to get engage with before deciding to get in so that you will better know that you are getting into a safe path on your cryptocurrency journey. People will do anything out of obtaining money so doing precautionary measures is in need specially at times like this that we are on a crisis.

It is really pretty nice to see such list of those who have classically won really big amount of rewards through gambling. It is maybe really their fate and destiny to won through gambling. Such lucky individuals are interesting to be known on how their life goes on after winning big rewards from the plays they have engaged because surely the journey in gambling does not end on that night they have won but do still continue to get through maybe trying their luck to win another grand prize again. Individuals possessing luck in their personalities do have what it takes to win in gambling and they are really lucky to have it since it is really hard to win a massive amount by just playing gambling. Though it is possible, but it is just for a single moment and those who were lucky enough can attain winning it.
1940  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: POLL: Who Would You Prefer In Your Team: Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi? on: May 06, 2020, 08:14:33 PM
Both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are good at their sport specially when you see them playing at the field. It will be a difficult decision making if I will become a coach of a team and I only need to choose one because they are really great players to be considered to have great potential. What I can say is that it will be a tough choice. But upon mesmerizing, I have decided to choose Cristiano Ronaldo to get into my team not just because of his popularity but also with his performance on every play he do inside the field. I know Lionel Messi do also the same thing but based on my perception, Ronaldo plays top on my preference so I would consider getting him into my team.
