Glad to see you've got another campaign going, this must be the one you mentioned was coming on the 6th

If accepted, I'll switch my details over before the campaign starts. Happy to join the discord and engage there.

Wishing you the best of luck, hopefully I'll get the chance to work with you again.

I think the market is going to continue to be bearish until probably the 3rd or 4th quarter, perhaps even early into next year. Once the lightning network for Bitcoin, and Ethereum raiden networks enter widespread use, we'll start to see a big rally back past $15,000 and $1,000 respectively.

What is the point of posting a list of events that have already come to pass, there is no benefit in discussing these now as the result has already had its effect on the market. Or are you just posting random stuff to get your post count up?

You never know what portion of his income he dedicates to activities like this, as I don't imagine having such a party-based life style can be cheap, especially on the scale that he does it at. That being said, if you went to live in one of the poorer countries, such as indonesia or chile etc, then even a modest income would be able to live quite a lavish lifestyle, so you've still got your chance.

Bitcoin isn't capable of most of these with its limited smart contract functionality, which is why it probably wont succeed as the number 1 crypto forever.

I think that most of these are covered by individual altcoins, but a truly functional smart-contract system would allow for all of these to be handled by a single coin, NEO and EOS are approaching that level of sophistication, ethereum is lagging behind.

They certainly have the potential, though I really doubt it will be bitcoin that manages to achieve this. In its current iteration there are far too many flaws to allow it to compete with regular currencies, its volatility, the scaling issues and the transaction times to mention just a few. I think if it forks a few times, and the lightning network test is successful then it will be a real contender, right now, it's not ready.

What if your and all the other newbies/jr members stopped posting completely stupid posts like this and wasting my time replying to you? How about that?

Bitcoin has not exploded, bitcoin isn't a bubble, bitcoin is still up over 500% since the beginning of 2017, and you're saying it's collapsing?

You must have been the dim one at school.

One of the major advantages I think is not actually the payment system potential, but the functionality that smart contacts offer.

Bitcoin is definitely lagging behind in this area, as it will either require a few forks, or sidechain implementation to approach the smart-contract functionality offered by its rivals, but once it gets there, decentralized applications and decentralized file storage systems are only a matter of time.

He should have also mentioned that the smart-contracts offered by Ethereum pale in comparison to those offered by next-gen blockchains such as NEO and EOS. To create a smart-contract with Ethereum you need to use solidity, a clunky language that is difficult to use, and has almost no learning resources online. In order for ETH to really expand it needs to open its smart-contract functionality to the world, not just to the select few who want to learn solidity.

Seems like the best thing to do is just post in the meta section, looking at a statistics thread previously I found that around 50% of all merits are distributed to posts in that section.

However, having had a browse through your post history, it looks more likely that you'll be negged eventually, rather than receiving merit. Work on posting higher quality material, original content and useful guides to help other newbies/jr members out.

I'm sure that 80% of these new investors probably cashed out a long time ago, when Bitcoin dropped to around $10,000 and the weak hands couldn't maintain their position any longer.

It's highly unlikely that the recent drop was due to these, but rather due to a general uneasiness in the market, probably due to the length of time we have been in this dip, combined with the banning of ICO media.

Great post. You will notice that all the people claim bitcoin is dead, tend to be either newbie or jr members who have likely not even invested. They don't know that this cyclic trend that we see in bitcoin is a normal part of the process. Bitcoin rises up, reaches an all time high, and then dips for the next few months until the cycle repeats once more. This process has repeated for the past few years and is mainly determined by market sentiment and FUD. When there is no FUD, sentiment increases and a rally begins. This will likely be no different.

I know that your Hero slots are full, but if accepted I would happily accepted the senior member pay grade. I would love the opportunity to work with you.

Also, my bitcoin address is a bech32 segwit address, I notice you had a comment in your spread about someone else with a bc1 address, just thought I'd clear it up as I've had other people mention it in the past.

Kind regards 

My loan has been fully repaid now, thanks again Zazarb!

The trend will continue until there is a reason to stop. At the moment I cannot see such a reason anywhere near, so it's likely to continue either until it runs out of steam, or until some positive news halts it. Since a lot of advertising surrounding crypto has been blocked, good news will be harder to come by as time moves forward.

Good words here. Definitely stay away from Bitcoin gold, it really has no future and I'll be shocked if it passes $200 again.

ADA, TRX, NEO and IOTA are the way forwards, also EOS has a lot of potential, but is very similar to NEO, so there's no real need to have both unless diversifying.

It's sad to say but I think it's true. Bitcoin isn't likely to see $20,000 again any time soon. There is too much negative pressure on it right now, I don't see any new big companies accepting bitcoin, as nobody wants to get their hands burned. The simple fact is, unless Bitcoin achieve mass adoption its price does not belong above $20,000. It's sad to hear but it's true, I'm already down crazy amounts and still holding, so I really don't have an agenda against BTC.

Ethereum has a lot of ICOs based on it, but definitely isn't as safe of an investment as others here are claim it to be.

I think you should also seriously consider NEO. Before this down turn, NEO was holding strong whilst everything else crashed, it will probably be one of the first to make its way back to its all time high.

Doesn't really give any information on how to be more competitive, so here's my advice;

1. Get in early, this is the absolute most important point. Normally most bounty managers will select the first applicant for a language
2. Target a low competition language if possible, e.g. Mandarin or Japanese
3. Make sure your portfolio is easy to access, and doesn't take too long to go through, as they will just skip over it otherwise

Normally when Bitcoin moves, other coins tend to follow suit shortly after, as most exchanges are based on BTC/OTHER, hence there will always be a relationship if the coin is traded against bitcoin. The only way to have a coin that does not follow this trend would be to give it a set value like tether, but then this won't be a suitable investment so it probably wouldn't take off.
