The large majority are ponzi schemes. I will never trust anything that offers a guaranteed return because there are no guarantees in this life. How for example could they pay out a guaranteed return on a week like this one? It's highly unlikely they would have profited from it.

I'm also of the belief that if someone can profit so much from trading why would they want to do it with other peoples money, they'll be plenty rich enough themselves in no time if they can make the returns they're claiming they can make.

Hello Manager, I will remove my signature now.

When will spreadsheets be updated for sig campaign?

Thank you for your hard work.

There's a near 0 percent chance that ETH is going to go 100x in value in the next year. I'd be surprised if it goes 5-10x.

Depending on what the definition of rich is is your answer. I would expect you'd get a return between 20-50k.

Venezuela isn't a good example of cryptocurrency being adopted by a country for good, if you want examples of that look in to Sweden. We need well established economies that are sensibly governed to adopt crypto and show that it has a real use and value instead of corrupt countries that are run by a dictator.

So in fact neither of these things are true, they showcased their Alpha but have not yet released a prototype. They will release the Alpha code once they have ironed out some bugs, the Alpha only showed up to about 200,000 transactions per second but that's because there are many things they have not yet implemented because they did not have the time and resources to do it for the Alpha.

I'm a little skeptical even of the ICO success. I feel that it's mostly a success because of it being an opportunity that's too good to miss if things do work out. What I mean by that is I think a lot of people invested who don't fully trust in the project and with the feeling there's a large chance they'll lose their investment, but if that doesn't happen they'll be sitting pretty.

Well there's been a drop a few days later but I don't think it's anything to do with Chinese New Year. I think that the market is correcting slightly after a big upsurge from 6k to 12k. In a few weeks it will push again towards 15k.

Credits will be a 100x if they can deliver on what they've promised they can deliver. There are still a lot of skeptics that feel as though they aren't able to deliver.

You speak of your experiences and your success but neglect to realise that it's much easier to profit with a smaller amount than a large amount and so you can't follow exactly the same trajectory.

If you can't look past your fear then you should NEVER buy bitcoin. The price is so volatile that there are unquestionably going to be tough moments and if you're afraid now you'll be so much more afraid then. Fear leads to mistakes.

You need to study bitcoin and understand your decision and then make a decision and stand by it. Be sensible but also courageous.

It's possible. It's likely. There are millions of threads on this.

The price was as high as $4 so $2 seems like it will come at the first alt pump. I think XRP will reach $5 or higher before 2019.

No one can say with certainty if it will increase or decrease in the short term. My opinion is that it won't go back below 10k even though it's close now. If you're considering buying then you shouldn't worry too much about a few % as an entry point, long term it would be a good decision.

I'm not 100% sure of this but my guess is that the ad's are vetted manually and so can be placed before being vetted. They probably have to sign or check something that states they are not related to cryptocurrencies. These ICOs can get in to some major legal issues with Facebook.

The other option that could be true and I'm not 100% sure on this but they could just be adverts that aren't actually offering to sell coins or such, that way it may allow them to surpass the rules?

I haven't even noticed much of an upward trend for altcoins at all, most have been pretty steady or dropping slightly. Many have dropped significantly in BTC value but maintained USD value.

XRP can reach its previous maximum at some point but I don't think anytime soon. It was achieved when the market was really quite crazy, we're a long way off those heights still.

I agree entirely. Cryptocurrencies are risky and they operate within a constantly changing environment. Who knows what could come in the future in terms of regulatory changes or such that could really harm cryptocurrencies. It's only wise to look towards more stable asset classes for life savings and the such.

The issue with bounty hunting is surrounding spam. Theymos (who runs the forum) has said himself that he likes that people can earn a little using the forum but he wants to maintain quality posting and discussion. This is why Merit changes were introduced.

The similarity between taxes and transaction fee is that they are both necessary evils. Things don't just happen for nothing. If you want to transfer your bitcoin you have to pay a transaction fee for that to happen, no one will do it out of the kindness of their own heart. Similarly if you want your garbage collected you have to pay someone to do it, this money has to come from somewhere and that's why you have taxes.

Please provide this well documented evidence that you have that seemingly no one else can get their hands on.



I don't think that this will have a knock on effect to the USD/BTC price but it is a good point, meaning I don't think USD/BTC will increase sharply before falling harder.. If there are people with insider knowledge that Tether will be exposed within a day or so then they'll rush to sell USDT. I think the more likely route would be to sell USDT for USD however, if they have any sense they'll realise that once Tether falls then bitcoin will too.

Bitcoin has been recovering for the last 9 days since it went to 6k. Chinese new year is not the only reason for that, it probably contributes in some way but it's surely not as significant as people make it out to be.
