That will ultimately affect as for sure.  Anyway, XRP is the coin one should never hold. I think of it being centralized and it doesn't attract me anymore.

The next opportunity is DyDx, very likely. They charge shitloads of fees on trades but I think it is worth a try if it holds possibilities of such airdrops.

Shouldn't we worry about the same? These companies are here for profits and they can bring bloodbath whenever they want. What do your guys think?

Most of them are from the time when we didn't have merit system, I guess. Just 120 activities with certain period could get you to Full Member. Now that many of them even don't know about this merit system and they may have forgotten the forum itself as we tend to use different forums if we find some interesting topics and after using them for some time, we get bored and leave.

Exactly my point. Yes, government provides stimulus in various sector like housing, agriculture, local businesses but for traders? I never heard of that, at least in my countries.

At one point, we want to avoid high risk with Tether and on the other point we also avoid getting reported to authorities. Due to smart contract vulnerabilities, we also want to avoid DeFi solutions like DAI. So, I don't think we have other options here. On top all of that, I think USDC can be a secured bet.

They will have to be familiar and adoptive towards cryptocurrencies if they want to be in business. They certainly can't just create a new blockchain and launch a coin on top of that to ingrate it in its payment processor. Why? They don't seem capable.

This is really good thing coming from especially Nigeria. I didn't expect to be numbered at 2. I expected Germany or Russia to be there in the list but they are out of sight.

I think, I won't go with loan for investing in crypto. And looking from comments, I don't think I will suggest this to anyone either.

Kindly move your thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=76.0
You will get pretty good suggestions from experience folks.

Here is a healthy thread to get bitcointalkers' opinions on the same: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5300900

Similarly to yours, we haven't taken a loan in my entire generation and not planning take one. We have lived in bad situations but never took loan so far. So, this is not a chance, I think. But I wanted to know about opinion from bitcointalk members.

So, what is the reason behind not buying in the IPO? How do you describe it being a bad investment? Don't compare this investment with dedicated crypto investment.

yeah but why not blockchain? If there is no need of something, it should not be that we don't use. A website can be created in simple HTML then why don't we see most of the website created on HTML alone? If you are building this, I would suggest why not give it a try on blockchain? It will be a talk of interest as it is on blockchain while on p2p like torrent, it will become just mere application.

See, people are not seeing this and calling this entirely luck. We know that price arises after halving (for instance and call it just one known event) so it it turns a good idea during this timeframe. Besides, right after bitcoin breaking 10k resistance, we kind of knew bull run is near and we will see new ATH this year itself.

The idea can be: lend your bitcoin and pay for interest! Risky? Taking a loan for investing in crypto itself is a risky deal. Why don't try lending, of course, with a proper research.

I don't think that it will happen and I lost hopes as well. Those were early days of ICOs and a team of shady developers and marketers used to sell ideas for money. They raised them and flew away. In order to repeat the same altcoin bull run like we saw in 2018, we need altcoin buyers. Why would a newbie invest in something unfamiliar and not in bitcoins despite the fact that bitcoin has dragged them here in the first place? Huge returns? Altcoins are almost dead in promising good returns. So, if money is not going in, alt season won't be there.

If you are a regular Twitter user and happen to follow a bunch of influencers or investors, there are high chances that you will have gone through some of the tweets claiming someone has borrowed a loan from bank to just invest into crypto. If not yet, check it here. Well, this is one really  interesting topic so I though why not discuss here.

What do you think of taking loan(s) to invest in crypto? What's your input? Have any of you done this already? Isn't this crazy?

As this is a transaction on Ethereum blockchain, it is obvious that transaction fees will be paid to miners, which will be paid to validators in future. Now this is willingly paid by transaction issuer which does seem 4x of traditional card fees but you don't know about the ROI s/he is getting if he gets in. In order to get in, investor is not willing to take any chances of any failure. Now question comes to why would one pay such 12% tx fees willingly? I think you know the answer.

Risk is the reward in crypto space!

PS: This is nothing. I have seen people paying even $400-500 in order to send funds to ICO smart contracts. MedicalChain ICO is such an example!

I sometimes wonder do people get it solved really? I mean I have seen 3 or 4 BTC and ETH puzzle on bitcointalk itself but when I open the thread, people are still talking about it as it hasn't solved yet.
