The point has never been to abandon fiat and move to bitcoin or vice versa but to bring Bitcoin to the bigger public from a niche cult status.

Bitcoin and fiat can stay different but their use has their own pros and cons. Whether CDBC is going to be centralized or not is not important at this stage but will be when governments start sponsoring it. It would be worth watching is common people will accept the centralized version more than bitcoin, which I assume would be the case and the narrative of some governments.

All that sounds good on paper but it can really do is worth looking when it gets kickstarted not before. We can only predict for now and not see any results in future too. On the other hand we have seen what happens when we put too much faith in something related to crypto. They end up as failure or just end up bankrupt due to poor management.

I would not be so lenient as to call NFT or Metaverse as breakthroughs but rather the next hype which will eventually get taken over by the next one. Things showing promises in this sector lack legal support and they will just run away with investor's money in the worst case scenario.

Bitcoin price currently at 43k gives hope to the bllrunboys again. But be sure that you will see selling pressure at this point too, some people bought at 40-41k before the dump and are looking to get out quickly before it drops again. I think it will take some time to reach back 45k but it is happening and it might be before this weekend if everything goes well.

Either way traders need to learn how to profit from both sides. When bitcoin goes up, sell it for fiat and keep the fiat to buy when it goes down. This cycling is of utmost importance. Being stubborn will not get your anywhere and you will get frustrated when you observe that you have not made any significant profits in the last quarter.

Usually the token audit get passed and several third party white-hat ethical hackers check it just for interest. So that would not be the part having malicious stuff in it. It is usually the bankruptcy and the problems of hostile takeover that become more important.

Then again the plain vaporware projects do exist too and they are good at fooling newbies. Point is the code may be legit and malware free but that does not indicate zero mal-intent from the owners.

OP may be working on security solutions, but that code being public, usually the chances are low there. Closed source codes are not trusted in this sector.

This is no longer true my friend.

It was true some 5-6years back and that time was when the bounties boomed and so did the signature campaigns. Some unscrupulous people came to this forum and made huge number of accounts just to abuse the campaigns leading to the DT members having to put negative trust on a number of such account stashes. Naturally when you give free entry to a large amount of money without verifying the people running the account, you will face abusers.

This changed quickly when the number of shit projects went up and legit projects went down. The same abusers started complaining of this - talk about thief's having big mouths.

It is the safer and easier decision but also the most stress-tested and time-tested method. Investing in Bitcoin a few years back, in this current bearish trend which is being recovered, you are still in a profit and that is a number that even stock markets will not give you in the last 10years. No wonder wall street experts are covering cryptocurrencies and all its buzz in the recent days more than the niche crypto news sites.

The good thing for scammers is that even when there are people like us advising newbies to stay away from newly launched projects and hyped items, some newbies will always go for them thinking that we are trying to stop them from getting rich or part of a conspiracy - one needs to keep their mind clear of such things when trading, otherwise they will lose, just like any average trader.

Maybe you are new to this but being paid is way more broad to speak of in terms of what bounty is compared to a daily wager. Bounty tokens are shitcoins worth nothing in 99% of cases.

This has been posted in a number of ways and in a number of places. Point is that there will always be some underdogs trying to get some shitcoin worth nothing and doing a lot for that, a low blow type of mentality among many. Because of them there is no uniformity in bounty payments and likely never will.

It is best left as it is, bounties section is a mess since a long time and spammers dominated there before the merit system was introduced. It has culled the spammers to some extent but not much.

My honest suggestion to bounty hunters is to stop doing bounties, try to improve their merit score and get into bitcoin paying campaigns.

If you are going to go with YouTube channels you will get spammed with shitcoins. Be it ICO, NFT, DeFi, Metaverse or whatever new cash grab is coming in. My suggestion is to wait for a while and see how the market actually develops around metaverse coins. Most of them are going to be failures anyway but some might survive. That is what you might want to get into.

I go with bitcoin only approach. I rarely of ever get into any altcoin and it's parallels. This has been the best approach for me and for majority of the users of this forum who have been in crypto for a longer time than me. But you can always be the exception and prove us wrong, besides the fact that no one has yet.

The rise is one of the possibilities that could happen once the price had touched stagnancy, it is good thing that the price is going up and the support for bitcoin is building up again, though I consider that it should be supported more when the price is dropping.

It may or may not be a bulltrap. If you are selling, do it already and wait for further movements. If you are looking to buy, you missed out on the opportunity of buying at low and hence dont buy. This is the best advice one can give during a suspected bull-trap.

However, it will be worth watching how bitcoin turns this week because although many are expecting a bullrun to start and hit 50k USD again, I think there is always a chance for it to go down too, support at these levels have been tested few times and it will be worth watching and placing some quick orders.

This is only because of the hype that some millionaires have started to make. It would not have been possible for Metaverse to become this popular otherwise. In fact that is the only reason why scammers are also jumping the bandwagon and starting to make fake websites with the same or similar sounding names.

I can guarantee that newbies will lose money more in fake metaverse projects than any real ones. Another thing to question is whether any real metaverse token will actually get that much attention for a long term model to develop.

The NFT boom is still happening and it is taking a different turn - trying to make useless internet objects into priced possessions. Not that I am a fan of it, but this seems like the end of NFT is also near.

Their only use is automation of trades because it is not healthy for a human to stay awake for 24x7 and monitor the markets but let a bot do its job. Sleep is indeed the rest needed for every hardworking trader.

There are bots that can start an algorithm on detection of a specific market trigger preset by the owner, but these are more risky and the human judgement is obviously better here if this is being done by veteran traders. This should not be used by newbie traders because they could get washed away.

Then again there are those newbies who think they can use a bot and become a millionaire because of a false picture painted by some sellers. Nobody can help those people from parting with their money.

You guys saw it yesterday, 41k USD was held and today 42k close to 43k is being reached. This is a gradual correction happening. But with weak hands still trying to sell at these levels, it will take some to cross back to 45k.

Two options, it can hold or it can break, both are good for you - why? If they break, you get a lower price to buy at and if they hold you can be rest assured that the support level is still strong.

Dont read too much my man. I mean do read, but read some good work of fiction and not the shit that is posted on the internet.

The stuff that gets written on youtube (spoken I mean) and social media is just Teleology and not professionally done analysis. Just observe support/resistance levels and place orders according to them. Your point is just to make the profit from the oscillations between them.

The fact that you frame the question like this shows that you know ICOs are not worth putting money into but you are still testing the waters because you are greedy enough to see your hands get burnt while trying to play with fire.

Break your bubble mate, ICOs are all that are no longer what they used to be a long time back. Not that today the situation is any better, DeFi and NFT have taken over but they are just the same thing with new names.

You wont. So stop searching. Learn how trading can be done, long term and invest in coins worth getting into.

Mostly bitcoin and if you have money at hand, do go with your country's fiat markets. They are also worth it, unlike what many members of this forum might say.

If one country does this, it does not necessarily mean other countries are going to do it. Governments need money to run their country and this money comes from taxpayers. Instead of banning bitcoin mining, look at what India has done today, put on a 30% tax on bitcoin trades, which essentially ends up being the only way for users to transact in bitcoin.

Governments see this as an opportunity to make money and when they see it they will seize the chance and if this happens more countries will follow suit. So it will not get banned but rather may get taxed in future.

Again it is also correct that if majority of miners get stopped by their governments to mine (which firstly is absurd) - the rest of the miners get a bigger proportion of rewards. Naturally they will turn to their governments and complain about the situation at which stage again governments have to allow mining but with some restrictions, likely taxation again.

I beg to differ even though I am not a developer, I think both the product and marketing together make a good business.

Bounty campaign is not recommended either.

You can go for the signature campaigns in this forum. They are being run by many businesses in this forum specially casinos, marketplaces and exchanges. Since the majority of bitcoin users visit this forum, you project gets a chance to be viewed by these people.

For social media recognition, depending on what your product is, get a social media manager and allow them to help grow your networks. For the start try to give updates through social media as a way to gain followership there.

Last but not the least, this forum also has a paid Advertisement option via auctioning the ad banner spaces. Here is the current running auction of the same - Advertise on this forum - Round 348

Two domain names reported here with just a hyphen as the point of difference.

OP, the first website is giving an error "Server Not Found", tried on a proxy and it gives me an error. Checked on Downforme and seems like site has been down now. The more recent posted site is working though.

Only shows how desperate these scammers are in their attempt to scam users of recently heard of projects. Just make a cyberpunk website and put in all sorts of buzzwords and them spam it across forums and social media hoping to catch a big whale enough to fund this process.

Very soon the new website will also go down and another one will popup.

Develop a game that is actually worth playing. Trash tons of games out there on NFT look like kids games and do not appeal to a more mature group but provided the fact that majority of gamers have the mindset of kids, they get attracted to it anyway. You should get yourself a marketing team, but for an indie developer this might be a tough spend at first. However if your game does something unique that other games have no done, you will get a bigger followership - even if you dont do that and your game is just another generic one, follow the community and try to listen to their requests, then you can grow a niche group of people who are going to remain loyal.

It is already evolving but in a bad way. Currently the social media spam is too much such that people tend to start ignoring them. In a broader sense, no project is going to go long if their product is bad, how good the marketing maybe.

I have been a big fan of Spielberg's work and have watched a lot of Sci-Fi movies in the past too. However, they are all fiction and not everything that happens there will be happening in future. It is human nature to point out the negative aspects more than the positive ones and those who are not related to technology will always say that. Still it does not mean that humans are going to be bound to chains and made to work in order to get money to pay. That is an excessive extrapolation.

Because we are obsessed with bad things, we tend to assume the bad. But really, these games are only dust earnings and they cannot sustain an economy to run. Dont forget that most jobs in this world are not WFH ones, most need skilled on-site work.

These games are stupid and only stupid people will play them in future and waste their time while others go ahead in making money by better methods like buying bitcoin.

The regulatory bodies similar in function to SEC in many countries have been trying to do that.

The point remains same, these bodies can help keep veteran investors at bay from cash-grab scams but the real target are the newbie traders who have a dangerous level of enthusiasm about cryptocurrency and willing to spend a lot here. These people need to be educated first and then shown how scammers operate in order to learn how to avoid them.

The development on the other hand cannot be stopped directly by SEC, because then it would go underground and keep doing the same thing. Rather there should be a regulation of the funds being raised, their legal problems and so on. This is only a starting phase and I can assure you that the ones who were going to scam investors, have already done so and they have left the grounds ripe for legit projects to take over.

Today the price is around 41k and this has been an uptrend starting yesterday evening. Now this could be a new run or a small correction driving the price upward. So this prediction of yours came out to be correct, grats to you for that.

I think the 30k and 35k support levels are strong and they are limiting the downtrend and pushing the price upwards continuously. I would not be surprised if the price comes back down but by now possibly newer levels will develop at 40k and that will keep supporting the price for now.

Current price above 40k might also give the incentive to some weak hands who bought at 38k to sell away. So we might see a lot of movement at this level before it starts moving towards 45k.
