Services to handle scams need to start appearing/cropping up, and they have to have the authority and respect of the Bitcointalk community to begin with.
Really suggest you guys start lending a hand to ICOEthic's and his team, they've been doing an amazing job fighting scams, and making them public. icoethics.com and or https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2204241

I appreciate the services you guys are sending me outside of Social Media, and i will take any inquiries or services you provide into consideration. This is a network building place, and there's no better place to recruit talent, than BTT itself.

Sorry, going to have to decline.

Thank you,
T.k. Hamed

I wish you guys held these false experts more accountable. Because, people probably lost millions (in total) from listening to these cons and idiots who predicted 20k, 10k btcs by the end of 2018.

One of my favorites is reddit co-founder, assholes who don't know anything about crypto and crypto markets. There are at least 5 notable indviduals who predicted a 20k btc by the end of 2018. Always research and never listen to anyone about coins or markets.

https://cryptoslate.com/reddit-co-founder-alexis-ohanian-btc-20k-eth-1-5k-by-end-of-2018/

Open a last Nemstake conversion round, there probably isn't more than 100 individuals, who are still active, that would love to claim them still, and with the amount of development resources, this woulden't be an issue at all.

A lot of people got detoured because of the deadline, and gave-up without giving a second thought to examining the project after there were new opening rounds. Some people were forced to sell on NXT asset exchange, because they thought they could not be redeemed (i missed claiming 1 of my nemstakes 4 days after the final deadline), but the low liquidity then made it unfeasible, to sell all the stakes.

I still have 1 NXT, wallet that had <1 nemstakes, but obviously, the asset exchange on NXT has long been since gone.



This is totally feasible btw, they took a snapshot of all NXT NEMStake holders, they have all the records, when the NXT pkeys got imported into the new NEM chain.

Except XRP is not a cryptocurrency, it's a centralized scamcoin based on the Ripple protocol.

As someone stated, it's a stepping point, another staircase before true crypto/blockchain adoption.

If that were the case, there woulden't be so much discontent and confusion. I know you are here in defense of Universa, but these problems woulden't be brought up if there weren't even an issue in the first place. And that has to be acknowledged by the team, starting with you.

This is what advisors are for. Obviously the Universa team doesn't have a proper strategy when it comes to communicating their thoughts, plans, time-table and ideas to the community.

I offered my assistance long ago, as i see a great need for the UTN team to get an outside perspective, mainly from a non-Russian speaking individuals, who can help guide them on the english side of things.

The best we got is the Telegram community admins, who are as much in the dark as everyone else, when it comes to the most important questions.

No Lambo?? What type of ICO u running here without giving away a lamo?

It's inevitable, 5-10-20 years from now, blockchain will govern almost everything.

The next evolution for currencies, is digital. Fiat (paper) uses will dramatically decrease, eventually being phased out alltogether. You're witnessing the next evolution of technology, right here, right now. This is the beginning stages still.

Note: There may be some unclear ideas, bad grammar, and bad sentence structures for this post, i don't really have the time to go through and edit this to perfection. I really hope this serves as a basic introduction, this is by no means fully-fledged out, i briefly covered a few topics here relating to ERC-20. Hope it helps you guys.




@coin8coin8 No problem, it's my pleasure.

In regards to ERC-20 tech coins, industry related coins and etc, i do not find any favorable at all, and personally, i immediately filter them (in my mind). This is due to a variety of reasons, and i understand many of my arguements here can be countered.

When looking at ERC-20 tokens, it's very obvious that many are trying to acquire a certain niche and exploit these areas that have not been incorporated in a real-world. I often think, that many of these types of industry-related tokens, health, construction, based on "diamonds or etc," transactions, rewards and the list goes on and on, are setting themselves up for acquisition by a real-world industry.

Lets face it, in order to compete in the real-world, there needs to be a clear innovation that has acquired a massive amount of users. If that idea or business has enough support, then acquisition by a large company, that pertains to that industry, would be likely to buy-out the entire idea/platform. It's all about cost and R&D. In the broader perspective though, no crypto has achieved any mass-adoption, or has (my guess) about even 10k concurrent real-users (who are not investors) using their platform. It's just not something that's being done at this current time, or has been accomplished.

For those reasons, all these ERC-20 token niches are bullshit. Along with that, the amount of capital to compete with real world industries such as: Steam games, health insurance companies and etc will require 10s of millions, if not 100s of millions of USD to actually be on the radar of these existing companies. If one of these companies saw blockchain a threat to their core business model, they will actively R&D it themselves, and launch/incorporate these ideas on their own terms, unless they are skeptical about blockchain, in which they will acquire some of these ideas many many years down the line (it won't be any token being used today btw, for reasons that 90% will die).

There's a lot more that goes into this, and that's how customers trust businesses with their personal information, quality of the business products (which is the biggest issue), customer-acquisition costs, feasibility of the idea, and a core business model for profits. The business that are successful today, that were funded through ICOs (thus given out erc20 tokens) pertain to a CRYPTO SPECIFIC industry only, such as: mining, pools, services and etc.

While, blockchain security is flawless, it's still the security in who you're dealing with, with an unproven concept, that is coming out of the middle of nowhere in various parts of the world. Coupled with that, is the idea of legality issues that arise, every industry is heavily regulated when it comes to dealing with customers and many of these businesses revolving around these token creations are neglecting any of this. Most coin teams neglect: how customers are acquired, neglecting the reality of blockchain which is not known by the avg person, adoption or even use on a daily basis.


Those are briefly some problems/issues, but for the length of this post going to avoid going into specific detail in those various of areas. There's ultimately A LOT to say, too much so that i can't give you a really good explanation, just a tease.


These tokens ultimately effectively acquire some market share, and increase the entire mcap/user-base around crypto, there's not denying that these tokens are helping crypto's adoption on a fundamental level. But, i'm still amazed on how insignificant their impact on crypto is, because Bitcoin is so dominate over all cryptos that it puts everything else to shame. There's a lot more i can go into about these tokens and their impact on the broader market, but just understand, the markets are saturated, and because of saturation, i suspect 90% of these ERC-20 tokens will die in the next 1-3 years. Just like how, 80-90% of POW/POS coins from 2014 are dead now, history repeats itself.


In short form, no, most of these coins are not successful, or will ever see success. If you ever research deeply into these types of tokens, you'll come out with viewing about 5-20 other ERC-20 coins who've attempted the same thing, for the same industry, with the same ideas. Thus, leading me back to the original point of this topic, ERC-20 coins are a failure, because they are getting utilized for greed and monetary profit.

Will investors make profits on these coins, yeah sometimes, more often than not, investors actually lose money on ICO's and they quit crypto forever, calling this entire industry a scam, a fraud and fake. That's because, people do not understand that crypto/blockchain is only 1 small part of industries they are investing in, they have no acquired knowledge or sufficient background in understand WHAT REALLY makes up the "gaming industry (dominated by steam, nintendo.. etc)" or what really makes up industries in healthcare logging... etc.

This is why, 80-90% of the top coins on CMC, that are erc-20, are concept-driven, technically advanced coins. Because almost every industry related crypto, is a failure. There are very few coins that are showing any success or ideas that have been prooven somewhat successful, and the tokens/coins that are successful, you and I will never know what it is until you hear in the news "XXX erc-20 token has made a partnership with Steam games." because of the mass flooding of shitcoins, scams, and money hungry teams.



When will the blockchain era truly become adopted? Most say that blockchain and crypto has been mass adopted, but they are incorrect on so many levels. Yes, there are big companies accepting crypto, there are companies "Looking into blockchain tech." but how many of these companies incorporated blockchain tech into a core part of their business? NONE, only a few banks are starting to experiment with transactions.

Blockchain tech is still many many years away from becoming part of our daily lives, thus, becoming adopted on a global scale. My words of advice, invest in the technology, not the business.

Already answered this, see: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4930584.msg45592514#msg45592514

If you're looking for a specific answer, let me know.

The common valuation for most ICO's is right around 5 million softcap and 15 hardcap. Most ICO's these days rarely get above a consistent 50k+ volume daily, unless the team has some sort of experience backing them, let's face it, most have no clue on how to maintain and grow a crypto.

The best thing to do as a trader/investor, is sit and wait till the coin hits the markets. More often than not, you'll be able to snag some discounted tokens/coins. There are rare cases (mostly with the tokens coming out of asia atm), that they outperform their ICO prices. But, the days of making returns on ANY ICO investment is long gone, especially in this bear market and within the foreseeable future.  


The good ICO's that are highly profitable, you are very likely to miss, due to mass garbage/spam. There's nothing you really can do about this, unless you spend hours researching per day (full-time job), or just are pretty lucky.  


Edit: If you spend all your time researching ICO's, you're potentially missing out on solid coins already in existence, that could yield even greater profits, for an already proven and accepted concept. This is my best advice, i give to all newcomers who approach me on an occasional basis.

Added bonus, you don't have to deal with KYC nonsense (for your security btw) and all the ridiculous efforts you have to go through, just to invest into a decentralized coin.

In regards to the first two questions, i could speculate on it, but that woulden't help anyone. It's all speculation currently, and there's more to Bitcoin ETF's that the public realizes or understands. One is, no one knows anything about the SEC views Bitcoin ETF's and all that.


There's nothing that can be done, that hasn't already occurred. It's all about how the outside world views Bitcoin and it's capabilities, and if the facts prevail. If they feel "fraud, price manipulation and market size" are factors that lead to a decline, then so be it. Inherently, the world has to come to accept Bitcoin and blockchain for what it is, the capabilities are and what's ultimately going to come of it. There's nothing that will be done to Bitcoin Core, or the mining process, or cryptocurrency in general that will change. The only thing that will change, is which """cryptocurrencies (but it's not at all a crypto btw)""" are allowed, such as Ripple's centralized XRP.

It's still pretty funny to me that the SEC claims "price manipulation" behind Bitcoin, AKA "no one can't control the supply, so it's manipulated." Where as the most legitimate argument they have is sufficient market size for a legitimate ETF, which could also say price manipulation. Regardless, they have to maintain volatility ranges and govern how markets operate. It's very curious to see Bitcoin become an ETF, because it actually can't be controlled by the SEC or anyone.  

Again, it's all speculation and only time will tell how long from now Bitcoin ETF's will come in to play, and how they will impact the markets in a very fundamental fashion, from creation of ICO's, legitimization, total market cap and etc. ETF is another gateway or hurdle that Bitcoin is getting tested with, and so far, Bitcoin has passed every test and hurdle in the past 8-9 years. It will happen, but, when is the question? Like you said Sep 30th, 1-2-5-10 years from now? Who knows.


All i can say with this, is there are big hands at play in the financial industry who want to see this occur, and big hands that will do everything in their power to disrupt and DE-legitmize Bitcoin, due to the threat to their business practices. It's not a matter of if at this point, it's a matter of when.

Yes, and just as many think now, that the markets will never recover and that this is the end of crypto.

Experiencing Bitcoin going from 1100-1200 USD to 200-250 USD was very disheartening, lost all hope in crypto's potential for a few months. Coming out of that bear period, while still being motivated by crypto, the hardcore enthusiast's became millionaires.

I'm still in crypto because of my love and passion for blockchain tech, and enjoy assisting/growing new coins with new entrepreneurs entering this field. But, greed and lack of knowledge reigns dominate in this climate, and it will only continue to get worse.

It's such a shame that DO is running by control-freaks who censor everything that's an expression, not pertaining to their views and direction.

The idea of their entire coin is anonymity, which is freedom. The irony is there is no freedom behind DO's community and users whatsoever, it's the most restricted coin i've ever seen from every perspective (even markets), which is all a repercussion of a failed ability to adequately deal with their community, supporters and investors.

They will respect "you", but they won't give these guys merit.

Merit is a failed system, in terms of relying on other's to objectively give kudos to your words and thoughts.


You will not earn merit in any place dealing with alternative coins. The best place to earn is to go hug big donors in the BTT Meta section, that's the only place were there's a consistent output of merit from the vets of BTT.
