I checked both Coingecko and CMC but couldn't find where this project is listed. So, what determines the price worth as I've seen you peg weekly payouts? Again, how are bounty hunters guaranteed of their wages or is it just another experiment where they've to wait endlessly to get paid after bounty has ended?

Please, I will like to know how successful you're at doing that and on what exchange you're able to do it.

I just finished watching Teeka Tiwari's video. He chose Ethereum as his number one favoured coin for 2022. He mentioned that the supply will be cut down by 90% and urged investors to get in and buy for the expected price increase which would be occasioned by scarcity. Well, ETH hasn't been my favourite coin. I don't even own up to 0.1 unit of it. It's the same way I don't own any XRP too. Admittedly, Tiwari's explanation seemed plausible. I may be throwing in a few dollars into it. On my own, I think launchpad tokens, Metaverse and exchange tokens should be ideal tokens to buy this year. I expect a boom there.

That's not entirely true. There are people who make a kill from the market and that's either because they pay attention or they're extremely lucky. A lot of people lose money because they think they shouldn't. They want to gain everything at all times and that isn't how the market in real time works. It's not robotic. It works in reaction to the forces of demand and supply. Therefore, anyone who wants to profit by it has to play by the rule.

I believe user EZ0010 will easily pass as the first newbie to have risen to a Snr ranked member on the forum in less than a month of being truly active on the forum with just 5 posts. Congratulations! The harder part of the job has already been done for you. All you need now are activities and post count to match it up.

I don't think that's any issue because I've seen where applicants with no merit for the 120 days period rule were accepted into signature campaigns demanding it. I guess managers now realize that certain users don't get merits not because their posts aren't merit worthy but because their post aren't visible enough for merit awarding members.

Yep, that's the same way I feel too. Opposing posts with reasonable angle also gets my attention.


Incidentally, I topped that tree of his. I'm very glad I did, frankly. When he asked me to remind him periodically to review my posts for merit worthy ones a few months ago, I knew I had to be up and running. He isn't one to be easily swayed owing to his in-depth scrutiny at things. I'm glad he still peruses my posts.

You're right and that could be because they've been beaten by losses occasioned by their early misuse of leveraging. Most noobs use high leverage because they tend to believe in hitting it big at once on profit while neglecting the axiom, "slow and steady wins the race." I know of someone who started with x25 even though they didn't have any basic trading skill apart from self-feelings and instinct. Though after some nerve wrecking experiences that person retraced their steps and is more calculative this day. Come to think of it, there are even experienced traders who steer clear of leverage trading at all cost.

To be candid, Bitcoin isn't one of the coins I'm expecting to soar beyond its ATH this year. I've read a couple of posts with users expecting Bitcoin to take the lead. I've watched historical data and my expectations are that Bitcoin will repeat its 4–year circle. I (we) witnessed how it repeated what it did in 2017 in 2021. I expect it to repeat what it did in 2018 in 2022, though it may not be to that heavy crash of that year. As for my new year coin picks, I expect investments in Metaverse to lead other categories. Investors should pick Metaverse tagged coins. At least have a few of them in your stash.

I've a bearish expectation for Bitcoin this year. Nevertheless, I will keep an eye on this info this week because of the data you've shared here. I will like to see how it goes so as to know what to expect too whether price direction will go south or north. From my calculation, if it does anything close to 30% that should be a plus for Bitcoin and then we should expect that the bull rally will continue.

That will be from April, right? I'm of the opinion that Bitcoin will be bearish first quarter of the year but let's still see how things pan out.

It's a pattern with trends and new inventions. Those who key in early enough get to make a whole lot of ROI on it. It's the same way that only those who are early to the stream get to drink clean water from its bank before it's muddled up. Shiba Inu, Safemoon and Safemars made a lot people very rich and also wrecked a lot. Pointedly, of those three projects, I will still trust that Shib will continue to do well and be on the market longer than others. While I wouldn't say all memecoins will scan, I will advise that anyone investing in new ones should be careful doing that. It's a 50/50 thing that one could make money from them and at the same time one could also lose investing in them. It cuts across all alts, and not just a meme thing. It's even so with Bitcoin too. Generally, trading in cryptos is high risk.

I don't know why I keep believing that the body language of Donald Trump towards cryptos is different from what he does in his privacy, just like other wealthy businessmen who also bad mouth Bitcoin in public. For whatever reason(s) he's critical about crypto in public is best known to himself but it won't deceive someone like me into believing that he doesn't own any crypto at all.

If his wife (Melanie) owned up in public that she had an NFT and he's in her support, it then shows us his real mindset that he silently hodls some.

You're definitely right. Regrettably, I wonder why the user had to do that apart from what you stated in your last paragraph. It's a nice read though and would've fetched OP some merit if it didn't smack of "an attempt to deceive other users into believing it's a genuine noob account"

I just threw you 2merit to help your rank up. I hope you make good use of your new rank when officially due.

I sincerely hope that OP's crave for quick gains doesn't blind them to the reality of market forces of demand and supply that can throw up volatility or lack of it. Crypto isn't a quick fix, though it happens in some cases that some investors get great ROI within a short time. Don't have that mindset of it being a get rich quick kind of scheme. Except you want to learn the hard way by getting burnt first financially, steer clear of unnecessary low priced and volatile projects. Seek tangible ones against hype.

I'm not sure those who predicted a boom for alts in 2021 took cognizance of Bitcoin's post halving data of 2017/18. If they did, they would've recognized that alts went into bull rally in 2018 and that was shortly after Bitcoin ended its in December 2017. By that, it simply means it took alts two years from Bitcoin halving to get its run. Therefore, the expectations (from me, anyway) is that alts will begin its rally in 2022 and that's two years from the current Bitcoin halving of 2020. I know things could change but that's my prediction. I expect alts to commence its rally first quarters of 2022.

Never say never. From what I've seen so far, it seems that Shiba has great potential to blow up. Despite the fact that its price is down at the moment I believe it can surpass its 2021 ATH when another rally sets in this year. BTW, it won't be a bad idea for you to throw a few dollar on it now and wait a few months to reap great ROI. As for regret of 2021, I can't finger any. Rather I had a change in business mindset and explored more opportunities.

You made a ROI in the multiple of three, so I don't even see it as a mistake if price continued upward after you sold off. It would be a mistake by my judgment if you had sold in loss and shortly after that price went in your direction and into profit or you had sold off and bought a certain altcoin which then dumped or scammed. That's the way I see this. We certainly don't know where price would ever head to at any point in time. Thus, we shouldn't feel bad when we sell in profit, thinking price will dip but it continued to soar. Once it's sold in profit, that should be a consolation.

@SatoPrincess, your gesture is highly commendable in all ramifications. To make it a double commendation is the fact that you're even a lady doing all this. I hope more female will come into this crypto space in our country and help push Bitcoin awareness further. Putting the name of this forum on the giveaway pack is good thinking too. I sincerely hope though that the addition of forum to the website bitcointalkforum.org won't mislead anyone to a wrong hand as that site is totally different from our bitcointalk.org site.

Here it is

That has always been the pattern with those who aren't willing to risk it. While many veterans here still believe that buying Bitcoin even at its current price is undervalued, a lot of us want to wait for that crash that could send Bitcoin to below $30k before buying. This may not happen. Come to think of it, the same way people regret not buying Bitcoin a few years ago will also be the way they will regret not buying some alts now which are ridiculously low capped. The bottom line is for investors to develop that mindset of embracing risk. It's like what they say is gym houses – No pain, no gain. In business, it should be written on stone that no risk, no profit (gain). Regret shouldn't be a thing to hold anyone down and prevent them from further investments.
