21  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Cardano, XRP and LINK "massive giveaway" scams on: December 28, 2023, 05:48:17 PM
So just to recap, these people have been digitally cloned :

Charles Hoskinson  --- Cardano
Brad Garlinghouse  --- XRP
Sergey Nazarov ------- Chainlink
Michael Sailor --------- MicroStrategy
Brian Armstrong ------ Coinbase
Anatoly Yakovenko --- Solana Labs

Who will be next ?
Maybe Guy from Coin Bureau ? or Vitalik Buterin ?

Michael Sailor and Brian Armstrong added to the giveaway scam !
Just like with the others, this A.I. generated Michael Sailor and Brian Armstrong look and sound EXACTLY like the real ones ! Do not be fooled ! These are blatant SCAMS !

They play videos on the background like Ted talks, right? and then there goes the instruction on what must the viewers do to receive these fake giveaways.

No man, that scam you're talking about is how they USED TO do it before A.I. I've also seen several of those with Bill Gates
and Elon Musk where you would see them talking to an audience from afar ( so that you couldn't see his lips sync to the audio ) and a fake
voice overlay.
It seems most of you people have not seen the new A.I. scams. I only get them on my TV so I don't have a link, but I'll try to find one.
It's actually quite disturbing. You can actually see Charles Hoskinson, Brad Garlinghouse and Sergey Nazarov ( not together, each in their own separate "special announcement" video ) talk to the camera, in an extremely convincing studio setup, explaining their giveaway.
Everything from the words they use to the gestures, lip sync, and the voice looks absolutely legit ! As I said in my first post, it's
scary to think A.I. can be THIS CONVINCING, except that it's been used to scam people.


24  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Cardano, XRP and LINK "massive giveaway" scams on: December 14, 2023, 08:40:24 AM
Somebody has got to talk about this.
For the past few months, a particular kind of ad has been popping on my youtube streams. It looks crazy legit, but not
to someone who comes from an image manipulation background and is up to date with the latest A.I. voice cloning and
deepfake technologies. On top of that I also have nearly 4 years as an investor / trader in the crypto industry, so I know a scam when I see one.
And trust me people, this IS a scam.
"Just Scan the QR code and it will direct you to a link where you can send us your ADA /LINK / XRP to be elegible " ? C'mon now.
But something has got to be said about the level of sophistication in these scams.
You can actually see Charles Hoskinson,Brad Garlinghouse and Sergey Nazarov speaking to the camera and moving their lips
while sounding exactly like the people mentioned. The scripted announcement is also extremely professional ( and clearly A.I. scripted )
and would have anyone believe this is 100% legit.
So with a combination of Chat GPT scripting, voice cloning and Deepfake ( or similar ), these scoundrels are robbing unsuspecting
newbies of millions.
A good example of A.I. becoming a force for evil, rather than good.
25  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / FLUX Insane Trading Volume ! on: September 07, 2023, 05:17:09 PM
Lately I've been paying attention to the "Trading Volume" metric on Coin Gecko as a key indicator. A project may be promising for instance, and have a small market cap ( perfectly normal for new projects ) but if the Trading Volume is something ridiculous like $10,000  I stay away from it. It means the project is almost dead with no participation, and no activity on it. On the other hand, a huge Trading Volume like what Chainlink has ( $220 Million ) means the project is strong, with lots of activity on it, a healthy demand for it, which is always good to see in a bear market.
Now FLUX, is one of the smaller projects in the spectrum, rated outside of the top 200, so my jaw dropped when I noticed it's showing a Trading Volume of $75 Million !! WHAT ?! More than Quant, XDC and Render ? What's going on here ?  This screams of some serious adoption, or some whale trading going on.... what do you guys think ?? Shocked
26  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Unibot Tax Rate on: August 16, 2023, 10:46:04 AM
I've got 22.4 Unibot tokens . Anyone knows if there's any way I can get a share of the revenue ? Or do I need 50 tokens minimum ?
27  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Unibot Tax Rate on: August 16, 2023, 06:51:55 AM
I see no mention of a rebase on their page... and I think I heard you needed a minimum of 50 Unibot tokens to be elegible to receive shared fee revenue. Also I see the suppy is fixed at 1 million... which partly explains the current price action. I bought rebase tokens before ( Sphere finance ), trust me, they tend to advertise this feature all over their page to lure in new buyers. With Unibot, is basically the innovation of a new product that fits a demand in the market that attracted me, and it already has a growing user base and revenue stream ( unlike other projects ). Crazy price action doesn't hurt !
28  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Unibot Tax Rate on: August 15, 2023, 08:12:01 PM
Hey guys !
I FOMOd into Unibot not realizing they have a sell tax rate ! Does anyone know about this ? It's still a fairly new project so I'm not afraid I will lose my money but the tax rate may certainly eat into my profits !
29  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Got me 100 QNT, here's why ! on: June 11, 2023, 10:50:01 AM
@Op and @Rampagoe004 - name one thing that QNT have that can't be stolen, implemented and monetized by market leader using their huge usebase.

The Network Effect. That means, the deep network connections Quant has to large Institutions and the Financial sector in general. You obviously have no idea how well connected Quant is, it's got partnerships with Oracle, LACChain, UST, Nexi, Alliance Block, Bank of England, SIA

"SIA has not only partnered with the European Central Bank connecting all central banks in Europe to the ESMIG, but also provide networks for other Central Banks such as Bank of Canada, Nordic Central Banks and over 100+ Tier 1 Banks."  ( Medium article )

https://cryptoseq.medium.com/why-quant-has-the-potential-to-be-an-incredible-long-term-investment-89b86d1921fd

Oracle and UST are as big as they come, and they are huge corporate players outside of crypto.

" Oracle designated Quant Network as an interoperability solution for their Oracle Blockchain Platform. " ( Seeking Alpha article )

https://seekingalpha.com/article/4534332-quant-network-believes-blockchain-needs-an-operating-system

You can copy and paste a code, but that won't do you any good if you're lacking all the network connections and partnerships that Quant has. Plus they have years of development and experience forging these connections.
30  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Got me 100 QNT, here's why ! on: June 10, 2023, 12:36:43 PM
Crash Update ! ( I have not seen numbers this bad since the Terra Luna collapse ! )

Solana:     - 23.6 %
Matic:       - 26.2 %
Chainlink:  - 15.8 %
Optimism: - 22.1 %
Avalanche: - 17.6 %
IMX:          - 17.8 %
Gala:         - 21.1 %
LDO:          - 17.6 %
Sandbox:    - 22.6 %
Ethereum:  - 5.7 %

Quant:       - 5.4 %

I don't think it's impossible to revisit a 21K BTC, so I am trying to protect my investments.

P.S. Got me 34 more QNT !

31  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Got me 100 QNT, here's why ! on: June 09, 2023, 06:16:52 AM
So once again QNT jumps to the top of my portfolio with 100 QNT . I suspect most of you know about what Quant is trying to do, so I will just outline a few reasons:

First of all, as far as Altcoins are concerned... we're still in a Bear Market. Maybe even AT THE BOTTOM of the Bear Market ( or near the bottom )
This could go on for another 6 to 9 months for Alts as Bitcoin's Market Cap dominance is still high.
So rather than putting my money in a risky, extremely volatile Alt like FLUX or SFUND ( both of which I absolutely love, and are near the lowest
they have been during this bear market ), I decided to invest in something relatively low risk. I didn't choose any of the top 10 as I believe the upside potential is low ( 4X or less for most of them ).
So Quant being outside of the top 30 gives me just the right balance of risk and upside potential.
Here's a few other reasons:
Quant offers a Gateway to the world of Finance: Banks, Institutions, Corporate and CDBCs.
Interoperability is at the core of this offering.
Huge partnerships, strong leadership and highly disruptive.
Low token supply, high utility, potentially high demand.
Battle tested during previous markets and one of the best performers during the last Bull Run.

While the current price is disappointing, I did the numbers and QNT is up 160% from the absolute bottom of the bear market nearly a year ago.
I compared this with many other leading projects ( Matic, XRP, Cardano, LINK, Solana, Avalanche, IMX, BNB, ALGO and a few others ) and
QNT has outperformed all of them ( during this Bear Market ). A few other tokens like INJ and Render have better numbers , but also
more volatility on the way down. If for some reason BTC goes back to 21K or 20K I'd hate to be holding too many of those.
Incidentally, token performance is not just how fast the gains are when things are going well, it's also how strong a token is when BTC is crashing... and I have noticed that QNT has managed to outperform giants like BTC, ETH and MATIC on the way down at least a few times.
So for me QNT is a low risk, strong performer with huge potential upside... which is why it currently sits at the top of my portfolio stack.
32  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Why wrapped ETH ? on: June 05, 2023, 06:35:16 AM
Trying to buy Aimedis tokens and realize you need to use WETH ( Wrapped ETH ) to buy them. Why is this ? Why not just ETH ? And if I try to buy them with ETH... will I be unable to trade ?
Not just referring to AImedis but there are several other tokens that require WETH to buy them, not keen on using WETH
33  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Gaming Stats and other Data on: June 05, 2023, 06:31:01 AM
Couldn't see anything from that tiny Thumbnail pic.
By the way, does anyone know how to embed pictures properly on each post ? I tried imgur which is used EVERYWHERE , and Bitcoin Forum tells me it can't accept or display imgur links. Very frustrating !
34  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Gaming Stats and other Data on: June 04, 2023, 06:44:51 AM
So can anybody explain how Gods Unchained, ranked outside of the top 500 by CoinGecko has this much volume and transactions

https://imgur.com/9ZMn5SC

while Illuvium, a AAA game ranked near the top 100 has near zero transactions ?

https://imgur.com/pxWIFbY
35  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Gaming Stats and other Data on: June 04, 2023, 05:52:20 AM

Below are the stats of some of the Dapps on your list:

- Axie Infinity
- TownStar
- Illuvium
- Bloktopia
- Gods Unchained
- Myria

well, I gotta say I am now a bit confused looking at some of this data.
I am invested heavily into Illuvium, thinking it's the number 1 gaming project in Crypto, and here the data
for volume and transactions during this bear market is almost flat ! What's more, Illuvium is ranked outside of the top 1000 for games way
below TownStar and Axie Infinity ( a game I thought was already dead ) Axie Infinity by the way is very near the top 10.
Going by CoinGecko Stats ( rankings ) which is what I normally use for when I research a project, TownStar is the one ranked outside of the
top 1000, while Illuvium is near the top 100 ( cryptos , not games ) So what gives ? Am I reading this all wrong ?
36  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Gaming Stats and other Data on: June 03, 2023, 05:44:37 AM
I use CoinGecko all the time and find it useful for many metrics, but I never knew it listed those stats I mentioned before.
There are some more specialized pages that have a ton of stats ( such as DeFi Llama and Statista ) it's just hard to know exactly which ones for crypto gaming.
So let's pick one project for example, Bloktopia. Where exactly in CoinGecko do you find the Stats I requested for this ?

https://imgur.com/NUKzyJZ

None of those tabs circled have them
37  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Gaming Stats and other Data on: June 03, 2023, 04:53:01 AM
How do you check Gaming Statistics on a crypto gaming project?

Mostly interested in:
Average monthly users
Yearly / Monthly revenue
weekly / monthly growth
rate of adoption

I remember seeing these figures and more for Axie Infinity when Axie was the number 1 P2E game in the crypto space, so now that we are at the bottom
I need this info to see if I could invest in the newer gaming projects such as:

TownStar
Illuvium
Bloktopia
Wilder World
Gods Unchained
Everdome
Gala
Vulcan Forged
Myria
38  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / WOuld you invest in Mirror Protocol today ? on: April 10, 2023, 07:17:22 PM
I'm asking because I am not clear on what links if any this project has to the Terra Luna ecosystem.
Should it be seen as a dead project just because it was part of that ecosystem ? Does it still have links to UST and/or Terra LUNA ?
If they've managed to re-invent themselves this could be ( in theory ) a low cap gem.
Tokenized Stocks is something almost nobody else is tackling, and I for one like the concept. I've been looking to invest in NVIDIA and Google for a while.
So if Mirror has a working protocol where "tokenized" stocks can be traded , why not ? I think Tokenized assets could be the next
big thing, with projects like QUANT and LCX getting involved.
