The important thing that we should take attention is that blockchain technology is the backbone and foundation of cryptocurrency. Blockchain technology can exist without cryptocurrencies while cryptocurrencies cannot exist without blockchain. Some companies are researching about blockchain that they wanted to apply to their system so that they can have efficient and effective system to help them reduce the cost of their expenses and avoid as well the double spending. They do not need to create cryptocurrencies to implement it in their system.

The problem with this is that people will not just easily invest in it because of its nature being unregulated except in countries wherein there are already regulations implemented. I did attempt to introduce it to people before who has no interest into it but then when the price go down, I end up being blamed so now, I only introduce it to people who are interested because they knew that I am involved in cryptocurrency and earning from it too.


People are more attracted to invest into something that will give them almost instant profit so if they see that the price is increasing then they would be more entice to invest in it. If the price is hype then the volume would increase too. Just like what happen last december when the volume only increase when the price is high.

No matter what investment you do, there is always an inherent risk involved and if you want to gain some profits then you should be willing to take that risk. There is a potential to earn big in cryptocurrency markets but the risk involved is high so it is up to you then. That's why the advice invest only what you can afford to lose always appears when it comes to investing because there is a possibility for it to happen in this kind of market wherein the value of your investment may become zero if you don't due diligence of what kind of coin or project you are investing in.

Trading has high risk and if you are a newbie then you tend to be emotional and there is no way for you to take the shortcut if you want to learn trading but to experience the losses because you can only truly learn from it if you experience it.

That's the right thing to do. If you don't want to provide private information then just skip that bounty or airdrop and find something else that do not require KYC. There are still a lot of campaigns that do not need KYC as long as you can follow the rules then you will be rewarded. Once you send your private info to the team then we don't know what they will do with it. I do not discredit the team who ask for KYC but I believe there are some who will use the info for their own personal gain and this is what I am afraid of.

If you can still avoid bounties doing KYC then just avoid it but then if you trust the team that they will just use it for verification purposes then go with it. I don't think KYC is required for bounties and airdrops though because we are no investors of the project.

I don't usually discuss it to people who will not ask me first. Some of them knew that I am involve in cryptocurrency so if ever there is someone who will ask me about it then I would willingly answer but then if they want to talk about another topic then I would just let it go because I learned my lesson when I encourage someone to invest on it and then the price went down and I am blamed because he was at a loss. It's my fault that I made his hopes high but now he understand already.


It's really a good investment opportunity for those who are willing to take the risk but for others who wanted to stay in their comfort zone. Let the price do the talking later on. They will eventually talk to you asking for advice if they want in. I am willing to share my knowledge to people who are willing to listen and I tell them in a way they can relate because I am not a technical person as well so the basics will do and its up to them to their research later on.

If there is no official statement yet from the microsoft itself then it is not finalize yet as to whether they are still accepting bitcoin or not. It would have been a good option because many people are now using cryptocurrency and some do not have any credit/debit card so it solves the issue when it comes to people who cannot have this type of payment option.

It would be a loss to them if ever they decide to stop accepting bitcoin payments. It seems that we are now approaching for a bullish trend and more people would join in then so it would be a disadvantage to them.

Seeing the downfall of bitcoin from ATH to its price now, it seems that bitcoin will be having a hard time recovering so the rise of bitcoin to $50k within this year is just too good to be true but when you see the rise of price last year, you will be astounded as to how much the bitcoin is capable of rising. Once people see that its price is rising again, FOMO would come back and maybe we can reach a new all time high again. We might not believe that it will happen sooner but then who knows because after all bitcoin keeps us surprising.

Banks will not be obsolete because even if you have cryptos, you still need banks in order for you to have fiat. As long as fiat is needed then banks will exist. How would fiat be created then if there are no banks that will issue it. We may have found a way to have a seamless transaction by using crypto but still banks are there because we need them. Not everyone knows cryptocurrency and if even there is already mass adoption, we cannot immediately shift to it because there is still limitations when it comes to who can access and use it.


For as long as people use it then banks will exist. Cryptocurrencies might be a threat to them because others use crypto in doing their transactions so they got a share of the market and the profits too but crypto cannot just easily eliminate the banks. They will just co-exist.

I am planning to stay too for as long as I can and I think it would be as long as cryptocurrency would be valuable. With all the developments in cryptocurrency industry, I think it is here to stay for good and there would just be innovations that would make more people adopt it. I am hoping that I would not end up just buying and selling coins but actually use it so that it would become valuable.

We can also help the crypto industry be known if we will use the coins for its actual use case and show it to the people how they can benefit from it. Currently, Brave has been useful to me because of the ad free experience while browsing and you can pay the publishers too using BAT token so that's one example of using the coin. Most of it are in alpha or beta yet and some are not yet develop so we have too wait for it to be fully implemented.

I like to see this thread more because its positive unlike the negative ones like bitcoin is dead. Anyway, when the bullish engulfing candle formed more than a week ago, price has risen ever since and then there is a pump again few hours ago. I have seen from a telegram group that they would buy again when it breaks $6,850 in a daily perspective but it didn't and it went down. We have yet to see then what will happen during this weekend. It seems people are getting excited again seeing the greens in their portfolio.

As for the shorts, it has been going down for a few days already and the longs are going up so maybe this is all we are waiting for of a recovery. We might be far yet from the all time high but then at least we are rising again. We have yet to see then what will happen at the end of the year and maybe in a few months, there would be a catalyst that would push the price higher and the hype will be back.

Investing in a gambling place would still be a better option than gambling yourself if you can't control your emotions yet because more likely, you will just lose immediately when you wanted to get back what you lose when gambling. At least when you invested it, you don't have to monitor it all the time and it will be a passive income for you. Just forget about it for some time and you will be surprise how much you already gained from it. Although there is a possibility that you will gain more in trading, the opposite may still happen that you will lose your capital.

This would be the good description of trading. The problem is that some traders especially the newbies wanted to maximize their profit immediately and wanted to double their capital because they have seen others have done it not knowing that the trader who was able to do that has years of experience behind him or just got lucky.

Most likely, they would join signals group because they can't wait to earn more and maybe join some pump and dump groups as well because in there they can immediately gain profit. People are always in a haste and at the end of the day they will most likely lose more than gain some profits.

It is all about probabilities that you will have a positive income even though you have incurred some losses. It is also about losing less instead of having massive profits immediately.

Yes that would be right. Just because the price fall from $20k to $6k you would immediately say it is scam? Just like the example above, Amazon is clearly a legit company and the same would be applicable to bitcoin. It is not a scam because no one intends to defraud people about bitcoin by creating it and then creator run with the money because even if we don't know the creator of bitcoin, his bitcoin is still there and it wasn't touch.

Some people would just say bitcoin is scam because of lack of knowledge about it. If they would deeply understand it then they can say that the company that uses bitcoin to scam others are the one that are illicit but bitcoin alone is not scam.

Government would want to get its share of the transactions through taxes or fees and due to the limitations of the bitcoin not being used all the way to purchase goods as there are only selected merchants that accepts it, people have no choice but to convert it to fiat and through this way, government would be able to trace the people who would convert it because more often than not, the platform that would be use for conversion is registered and licensed by the government so they need KYC.

I don't mind anyway paying taxes because it is my responsibility as a citizen but there are times when the taxes are just too much and then it would just go to the pockets of certain individuals because of corruption. It would be better if the system of paying taxes is in blockchain too and the flow of money would be traceable so that we can caught those corrupt people.

Binance is the go to exchange for now because they have large volume and the coins listed in there exchange are really getting popular and pump immediately even in the announcement yet. But still, there is a possibility that people would decide to transfer to other exchanges in the future if they don't like the exchange's service anymore just like what happen to Poloniex and Bittrex in which they are the ones dominating the market before but now they are not even in the top 10.


Decentralized exchanges would dominate the market eventually when the centralized ask or force its users to have KYC just like what happen to Poloniex and Bittrex. Other exchanges has a limit so users still have a choice if they want to have KYC or not and I hope it would remain this way. There are many exchanges you can choose from for now but still others are not that known yet because of lack of volume.

Every day there is new Pre-ICO or ICO that the bounty hunter can join but then out of all the new bounties that are launch, maybe more than half of that is just scam or maybe not scam but the ICO will fail resulting to return of investors money and the work of the bounty hunter will be in vain. This is the reason people should choose carefully what projects to join because they may join a lot but the one who will pay is less than half.


Investors should choose carefully what projects they want to invest in. Some ICOs have been finished for months already but not listed in any exchanges that's why others just choose to buy when it is listed in exchanges because they are sure that anytime they can just sell their coins. More often than not anyway, price would be lesser in exchanges upon listing compared to its ICO price.

It isn't guaranteed if you will be very profitable at the end of the year because a lot of things may happen that may cause the price to plummet. I am not being negative but just giving real talk to people who are thinking that they will definitely profit at the end of the year. They should still do their due diligence of knowing if the coin they are investing in is worth it or not by seeing its past price actions and the plan of the team for the coming months or years.

If you plan on having quick profits though then it is better to use technical analysis but if you plan to invest in it for the long term then fundamental analysis is vital. Just don't forget to take profit when you have an opportunity because it isn't guaranteed the price will stay up. We know crypto prices are volatile and instead of having profits, you may end up at a loss. Nevertheless, it is the right to buy crypto IMO because people are starting to be positive about the market.

When I read some thread about others using other profile accounts just to join bounties, I check if someone use mine and its confirmed, there are some who are using my account and I bet it would be newbies who can't join the campaigns. They use other profile because they are not required to post a proof of authentication when registering to the campaign and just in the form so it has a higher tendency of cheating. Bounty managers should strictly implement this one because many are abusing it just registering in the form.

Some bounty managers like btcltcdigger is using this strategy to prevent those cheaters. There are times too when I want to join a campaign and discovered that someone already registered using my profile. There are just so many cheaters and we should help each other to caught those people.

Some people would dump their coins because they need some money to pay bills or for other expenses or they just want to buy those coins that already existing in the market for a long time like Bitcoin and Ethereum. When you receive a token and it is not increasing in value, there are times when you lose hope that it would increase again that's why selling it would be the best option for you even though you are at a loss. The bad move is that some sell when the price is already half or even lower of the amount they bought it. They should have cut loss when they still has a small loss and then buy back lower. Well this is a lesson for everyone that you should cut loss as early as possible especially in a bear market.
