The payment for bounty is supposed to be paid. Doing bounty is not an easy job, this is a really difficult work to do, you have to make posts and at the same time you have to be sure that you’re writing really good posts and all that, it’s just not easy. It is really annoying when you do such a hard work and burning internet data for a long time and after all that they will not pay you.

It can be frustrating. Bounty hunters should be very careful on what projects they choose and avoid managers with bad records. You do have a good idea but another thing is whether it’s something that’s possible to be done or not.
3442  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bounty Managers and Shit projects on: March 07, 2020, 05:54:12 PM
Bounty hunter must be patient in all aspects as many fraud or scam projects everyday. We should have the risk to participate or dont expect to earn much in bounty campaign. As for the bounty managers, we should only stick to those managers who are trusted to handle the bounty project so that we refrain from not given the rewards.
Yes, it is more about investing your time instead of investing your money in this situation. You put your time and effort into something that could turn out to be something bad but also you are promoting something to people that could very well also turn out to be bad as well which means just like everyone else who puts in money to that project because of you, you are losing something as well (but in hunters situation it is not money but time).

I do see it as a lose-lose for the both party but at least we know that bounty hunters are not profiting while investors they dragged in losing. If you want to be a good bounty hunter then you will pick good ones and you will promote them and when others win, they will like you for suggesting them a good bounty or a good project.

Bitcoin is still the leading coin which is why it is seen as such an influential currency. When bitcoin does something it affects every coin around it since it is such a huge one. We are not talking about just a coin that has a bigger market value than other coins, we are talking about a coin that worths more than ALL OTHER COINS COMBINED and that is something we can't really ignore.

Dollar is seen valuable for example, but you can't just combine all other fiats and still be under the value of all dollars. That is exactly why we care about what bitcoin will do to see what altcoins will do, not that it has to be correlated at all times but I can tell you that it will be somehow related if bitcoin makes a big move up or down, no idea how altcoins will react but they certainly will.
3444  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Which is Best Trading or Freelancing? on: March 07, 2020, 04:29:57 PM
I totally disagree with the notion that freelancing is a bad business idea. If you know anything that could be freelanced you are opening yourself to whole world while also having more competition but if you are only doing regular 9-5 office work you are basically limiting yourself to business that is around you and that is not something I would limit myself to honestly. Also what you are forgetting that you can literally make money with the freelancing skills by also doing it yourself as well.

Let's say you are a coder, you can code for yourself, if you are a designer you can design for yourself, if you are a writer you can write for yourself, all of those could bring in money as well. Freelancing is basically art if you ask me and artists will always find a way to live.
3445  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Leave crypto trading in lost condition is not an option. on: March 07, 2020, 12:17:07 PM
I have always said it, if you are trading as an income to live, that is always too risky and would never work because in the long run you are using your own trading capital to live and the more you spend the less you can earn with the amount you have left and eventually you will be left without a chance to make profit.

I personally have tried to make an income from staking for example and even that didn't turn out that well since I needed that money constantly and eventually broke it off and just cashed it in. If you can afford to find a way to have a passive income and live with that and on top of that earn something with trading that would work, but to have a trading profit that you spend is never a good idea and would never work in the long run.
3446  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Margin trading. Where to start? on: March 07, 2020, 08:29:04 AM
for beginners you have to practice trading if you directly to margin trading you will get big loss, dont see big profits from margin trading if you cannot trade because other people will easily get your money in margin trading, if the biggest market for margin trading is BITMEX exchange
Yes, margin trading cannot be a starting point for a trader due to its inconsistent results but traders may switch over into margin trading after hands on experiences in spot trading. This way they may handle all the pressures of margin trading and convert their all of efforts into profits from the small capital. Yes, you may think about margin trading only when you feel like you have relatively small capital to convert your efforts into profits for a given time frame.

Personally I never suggest anyone to get into margin trading as it is a platform for wiping out all our capital when market moves slightly against our expected market direction. Better always sticking with sport trading as it gives enough time to wait and hold our positions on the occurrences of unexpected market directions.

Rockets are simply too little compared to other teams but lets not act like clippers came out with all 7 foothers neither. They had good height advantage but they were not like Bucks or anything. Rockets are now having a slight trouble when they are not playing the way they want to but when things go their way they are still one of the best teams in the league. They are a very offense oriented team and I still consider them a favorite for the conference finals at least, they will move over the first round like it is nothing unless they seed very badly and meet one of the contenders early on.

However, clippers have been showing why people were saying they were the contenders at the start of the season, they had a very injury prone season and couldn't play together perfectly but as we have seen when they do play properly, they are really good, this is the team that almost upset Warriors last year and added PG13 and Kawhi on top of that so I wouldn't expect anything else from them.

I am entirely sure the admins or at least theymos would be understanding if you just plea with them. You do not have to enforce a rule but if there is a rule that is against the rules of the forum that would be seen as grounds to lock the topic and I can totally understand that but if you do not enforce the rule and you just promise them that you will remove that rule, I am pretty sure theymos would understand and unlock it.

You guys have worked so hard for that topic and I can see how it could be hurtful for the business to not have that topic that was 200+ pages long and proved that you have been around for a long enough time to actually seen as an old timer that we all trust, this new one could be decent too but it just lacks years of discussion we have already poured into it.
3449  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: A question about halving on: March 06, 2020, 10:45:38 AM
LTC price halving and BTC price halvings are totally different stuff from each other, I totally can see both of them fail but that doesn't make them both the same thing. Not all halvings are same, some are good and some are not so good and not all of them have to be because of the same reason. LTC is still low in price and could have gone up and wouldn't require all that much at all and could have easily changed the whole sphere of it.

However, looking at bitcoin, even after halving it requires BILLIONS of dollars to take it to all time high, and that is not something halving could achieve all by itself, could it potentially happen by sellers removing their orders instead of just buyers buying? Sure that could work but that doesn't mean there is a possibility of going down let alone going up or staying still.
3450  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bounty Managers and Shit projects on: March 06, 2020, 10:04:42 AM
It is easy to criticize them when you are not the one offered money but I am 99% sure that everybody here who gets an offer of like lets say 1 bitcoin for being the bounty manager of a project, would accept even if they knew that the project would be good or not.

Of course, if they are obvious scam they would stay away because promoting a scam knowingly would mean not only you are hurting other people which should be the sole reason not to do it but even if you are a greedy and shady person, why would you promote a scam project when you know in the end you will never be hired and you would be hated by the public? Even if the only person you care about is yourself no one would promote a known scam to keep their reputation higher.

However, there are limits, look at yobit for example, that was seen as a scam website yet hundreds of people had their signature, so lets not go too much on the bounty managers that promote bad projects.
3451  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Crypto Charts Are Garbage on: March 06, 2020, 09:14:33 AM
in what way you read your stock analysis ? via charts too or candle based ?   . i think stocks is like a crypto too because both of them rely on other factors  .  you think its not candle based but many people are still making graphs and based thier moves on it   .

 it does not suck too much because those tools are helpful somehow but obviuosly not 100 percent accurate because if it is then all traders are rich now   .  they are only annoying because they are everywhere , your annoyed if your not a fan of them
In stock markets there is at least some sort of regulations that makes sure the prices are not really played with all that much. I am sure there are still some insider trading going on and from the ones that we see that gets caught we know that it happens but I am sure there are ton more that doesn't get caught as well. In the end chart reading could work very well for stock markets because of the regulations and rules of stock market trading.

However, in crypto there are no regulations that can stop you since bitcoin is decentralized and you can buy 1 billion dollar worth of bitcoin today and nobody can stop you, you can also sell 1 billion worth of it and nobody can stop you from that neither. If you are in a country with laws regarding profits or losses, you will have to pay taxes or explain where you found the money and so forth but you can not be stopped, if you are not in a country like that, nobody will even notice it.
3452  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Copy trade - New trend of cryptocurrency exchanges? on: March 06, 2020, 04:16:34 AM
The trick with copy trading is to find a trader that is good in the long run and not just couple weeks. You may see someone who has made a lot of money in the past week or past month even but that person could be not so well in the longer term like one year.

Copy trading is still something quite new so I still suggest many people to sit out and wait and see who is actually good in the longer term and if one person can manage to have a great month after month that means you may actually spend money on copying their trades. Copy trading is actually a lot less scarier than bot trading if you ask me, bot trading is a lot riskier because you let some computer do the trading for you, here at least there is a human counterpart to what you are doing and know that humans can change gears when needed.

Well, I understand why USA presidential topic could be so important because that does reflect to other nations as well. Look at world political movement turning more right after Trump got elected and you will see that not only whole of USA changes which does impact the world but also the world politics changes as well.

Unfortunately, Bernie Sanders looks like he might be not getting any nomination once again because on super Tuesday the young voters didn't go out to vote, I understand that there was HUGE lines and some people literally stood there for 8 hours to be able to vote and that is one of the reasons why establishment always wins but if you put Joe Biden at the nomination Trump will literally destroy him with a record breaking electoral vote to become president again. If I had to wager NOW, I would put Trump (unfortunately) again as the 2020 president.
3454  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 5 mistakes every crypto trader should avoid on: March 05, 2020, 06:53:59 PM
I agree that mistakes has always been talked about but success stories are all different and that is pretty much the difficulty of trading. When you look at everyone who has failed you will see the common stuff, there are few ways you could fail and everyone who has failed has done some sort of ways of it, either it is just dealing with emotions or not researching enough or basically stuff that are derivatives of that.

However, when you check out people who made a lot of money by trading you will see that all of them have their own systems and ways which is why it is very hard to copy them since what they have done could work at that moment but could be a fail at any other time as well. I was there was 5 things every crypto trader should do instead of mistakes that should avoid.
3455  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bull and bear market. on: March 05, 2020, 05:51:26 PM
That is what happens when you try to find a way to trade what is not to be traded.

Normally, bitcoin is not something we should be focusing on profiting when it is going down, that is stuff that financial world is doing with stocks and so forth and we should have been better but we didn't and now some people are paying the prices of that.

I really wish there was no shorting ever in bitcoin world but since there is no regulation there is also no way of stopping those people as well.

Anyone with enough power could simply sell all of their bitcoin and drop the price of bitcoin meanwhile still shorting bitcoin and can make money that way. It is hard to buy millions of dollars worth of bitcoin all at once but there are tons of early birds who have thousands of bitcoins to sell to make it happen.
3456  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: If we have great ability, is capital from bank loans safe for us to use trade? on: March 05, 2020, 05:26:22 PM
To be honest I do understand those people because lets face it, if you wake up every morning, go to work, come back home and watch some tv and sleep and repeat that the simple fact is you will probably not get rich. You have to do something different to stand out and make some extra because the world is designed to keep the working class keep being working class and unless you risk something you will not make any money and will be poor until you die.

However, the way to get out is not to risk the money you do not have but more like risk the money you worked hard to save. Some people literally wake up at 6 am, study a bit about their startup, go to work at 8 am, come back at 5 pm, start working on their startups at 6 pm and work until 2 am to make their dreams work, that is how you get richer, not by taking a loan and trading with it.
3457  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Eth is no different than a fiat currency? on: March 05, 2020, 04:11:00 PM
In any other sense of the word, ethereum is totally different than a fiat currency. There is literally not even a single parallels of ethereum and fiat aside from both of them being a currency that you can use to buy stuff, literally the ONLY common thing they have. However if you want to talk about which currency is more like fiat in all of crypto world that could be a whole another discussion.

All of them are crypto and all of them are different than fiat but if you want to make sure just one of them that are closest to fiat currency in many ways (and removing stablecoins obviously) that would probably be more ripple and not the others, even though I hate ripple, at least it has a regular life utility that banks are using which could be compared somehow.
3458  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [NEWS] Did Binance just help Justin Sun take over the Steem network? on: March 05, 2020, 02:46:56 PM
Can someone explain to me the details of what happened afterwards? I am not really great with blockchain takeovers and now there are places who are saying they are removing their "votes" and so forth, what does that really mean? Plus isn't it somehow illegal for exchanges to use their customers money to do something?

Just simply imagined, freebitco.in offers 4% for all bitcoins staying on their website for example, what happens if an exchange decides to keep their "cold storage" as just freebitco.in savings account and get more money from them? I know that is unsustainable but the idea stands, no exchange should be allowed to touch customers assets without their permission if you ask me. No matter what the reason is or no matter what the result will be.

Another point of view that we are not considering is the fact that these type of entertainments do help the public forget about what is going on out there and how it is scary outside. Definitely you can still ban the games to have visitors until this is solved but at least until that moment you can make sure players are safely playing games and airing that live on television to make the public forget about these things for at least 90 minutes, at least for some fans.

The public is what make sure these players are paid this much and that is basically the reason why the game is so expensive nowadays, players basically owe the public to keep them occupied during such a bad time. However we can't ignore what players want neither, if they do not want to play we can't force them at all.
3460  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Not Just for Online but also IRL Gambling on: March 05, 2020, 01:46:25 PM
Have you ever played on a game were it is totally a scam without realizing it? I just seen a facebook post in which there are several games that doesn't let you win even though how many times you try and you'll just feel like giving up then they will tell you that you won or let you win ... but without realizing, it was just a tactic/s to have you play until you burn your eyelids and money to that game.

This applies on both Gambling Online/IRL, So tell me have you ever seen one of these games and you'll just realize it after the game or watching other people play that certain game?
This sounds like the problem of people who are ready to gamble everywhere they do see but not for the gamblers who are caring while choosing their reputed gambling houses.

Gambling at random places definitely will be a problem. We must take time to due diligence on where we are going to risk our hard earned money for ever reasons like it could be for entertainment or for multiplying it. But, we should start only after reading lots of reviews and opinions from real time experiences of trusted users.

Personally I never gambled at a random place just after the first glance. Moreover I do gamble only at crypto based gambling houses only and not even think about trying at fiat based gambling places due to various security reasons. This must be the simple reason why I just gamble with full peace of mind all the times.
