3961  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ALTERNATIVES MEANS IN CRYPTOCURRENCY JOBS APART FROM BOUNTIES. on: November 18, 2019, 05:46:13 PM
Can there be any alternative means of earning cryptocurrencies apart from bounty camapaigns, mining and staking. kindly share with us under this tread please. personally, i think th days of bounties are OVER due to scam projects that failed their ICOS. some even migrated into IEO and failed again.
we have lost most bounty companies here all due to the poor performance and scandalous nature of some projects that has no future
amazik ,bountyplatform, bountyhivo, all sidelined.
could their be an alternative to cryptocurrency marketing and if there is, can some shade more light here.
You think that ICO has died completely? They have not brother, there are still many projects that are still being listed and many projects that are still getting their hardcap meet up, so the fact that you don’t visit the section does not mean that projects are not coming up and I think the reason why you are saying this is because many hunters are the ones that actually don’t go for these projects again to promote them and not that there are in projects.

Secondly, high percentage of the investors that we have prefer to just hold on to their already existing projects pending the time that the situation of things is clear, so the best way for you to earn more crypto or more bitcoin now is for you to also create a platform, where cryptocurrency can be used as payment also.

What is your country's policy on taxation on cryptocurrency? Secondly, have you used Bitcoin ATM before? I heard about Bitcoin ATM when they installed them at the Melbourne airport. Please share your experience on BTC ATM and taxation. https://www.cryptoinfowatch.com/irs-looking-at-tax-issues-linked-with-bitcoin/
I am really waiting for that time that I will be seeing bitcoin atm in my own country which I think it would be impossible for now because the government does not even understand cryptocurrency for them to even be thinking of having the atm approved and before you can install anything of such, it must be with the approval of the central bank.

For central bank to approve such a thing, it means they must have been fully aware of the use of the cryptocurrency and even its benefit to them and to the community, but for now, the few ones that knows about cryptocurrency is seeing it as Ponzi scheme because when it first became popular, people were only interested in it because they learnt that it can make their little one to really double in a shirt term.
3963  Economy / Speculation / Re: One more dump before halving? on: November 18, 2019, 06:00:39 AM
If there is a fall in the value of bitcoin again this year, this might be the last fall for the year and it will really not take long before it rebound again, because many people would want to take advantage of that opportunity to buy more now knowing that we are very close to when bitcoin will be making a very huge recovery again, as the time to surge to $15k is almost near, so it would not really be a bad idea or a bad news for bitcoin to decline a little bit again, it will still be a blessing in disguise, and if it does not decline, I am sure that the next rebound will be over that $8750.

From the many analysis that we have done, I think that there is every chance and possibility that the value of bitcoin would make a bull run between now and the next Christmas season.
3964  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Scarcity is one of the leading factors of Bitcoins value on: November 18, 2019, 05:01:49 AM
We don't need to wait to feel how the situation it would be as 86% of bitcoin have already hit the market. Of the 21 million bitcoins in total, more than 18 million are already in supply. Bitcoin generation after the 2020 halving would further decrease. So we can assume bitcoin would be traded similar to the way we are having now. The decrease in mining generation should complement by the increase in price to retain the miners.
From the time that the best halving will end, I think that the supply of bitcoin ill really start getting hard and as mining off the coin decreases also, the value of bitcoin will start increasing so much which I think this is why many of the people you see are still holding their coins for no until that time when bitcoin will become very high before they start using it for payment.

I know that it is good to use bitcoin for payment, but who would want to miss put off this reliable coin increase when the time come. I know that none of us will be alive when the last coin is being mined and all those generations then, especially the ones that we have left our coins for are the one that will fully enjoy it then when bitcoin value rise to about $1 million.

Bitcoin is the first success of cryptocurrency on blockchain and has the most attack resistance network and is the most trusted cryptocurrency and chain. No other coin will ever beat bitcoin. The government will only create a stable coin just like their fiat.
The government are not willing to create a decentralized coin and yet they will not give support for the ones that has been created and just look for a way to regulate it, but because they want to be selfish in everything, they will rather prefer to create a stable coin and then impose it on their citizens instead of having a backing for this bitcoin.

One thing they are also making mistake in sis that many people can differentiate between a centralized coin and a decentralized coins, and believe me, no one want to stick around with a centralized coins, so even if they create that centralized coin, people would still prefer to for bitcoin any day and anytime as it will be the easiest way of having an anonymous transaction with less cost of doing so unlike fiat and any coin they might create.
3966  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoiners now is your chance on: November 17, 2019, 07:26:30 PM
Yes I agree, with next bullrun altcoins backed by good projects will grow along with Bitcoin and we should patiently wait for that time. It may take a year, two or more years but bullrun will come. Markets move in cycles and there is bear and side trend since 2018, its time for bull run to come. Selling altcoins at current price is not worth anything, its time to collect more and more altcoins and hold till next bullrun.
It is not every altcoins that bitcoin drives, bitcoin only drives those altcoins that are within the very top in exchanges, and that should not even be main criteria for the development of those projects, bitcoin bull run can only increase those project to an extent but would not give them any maximum growth, the only thing that can give them a maximum growth is still their projects.

All these project really need to sit up and work on the project product that they have, I don't want to believe that people have totally lost interest in the use of their product for the reason of their establishment, they just need to push it more out to the world to see, so that they have to stop depending on bitcoin bull run, before they can have some sort of growth. Bitcoin is not depending on any project and yet it is growing.
3967  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Never possible earn free bitcoin without work. on: November 17, 2019, 04:32:35 PM

Ways of earning bitcoin? Well, there's a lot of it you can use for you to earn bitcoin. Actually you can study it by yourself and apply it with your full intelligence. Since your money is involved here you should consider this as a 50/50 game because its either you win or you lose, but you should win that is our goal. There's a lot of ways you can earn. The first one is that you can invest in some projects here and earn when the project went successful, you can also mine bitcoin but it is not easy because you should have some rigs for you to mine bitcoin. You can also support bitcoin by joining a particular ICO and do a promotion and a particular ICO will pay you.

There's a lot of option there, what we need to do is to find ways how are we going to make those option to be one of our source of income, I suggest we should do the things that is fit to our time, and capabilities. If we want to earn, we should extend effort to it, not just going to a war without any weapon and training, so it is a must whatever we want to do in our life for us to be able to earn income.
Me, I don’t believe in anything that is called free, because ay free thing comes with its own cost and I remember when I was playing all these free spin stuff of freebitcoin.co I think and I gathered some satoshis, the smart people also came up with a strategy that made me loose, most of the coins that I have earned in the past and this is how other sites have treated me to, so I have come to realized that if you are to have a cryptocurrency that will stay in your hand for a long time and be useful for you, you have to rally work hard for it, and for me, most of the ways that I do earn some coins are just to be trading for it and to be offering services that I know I can render to some of these freelance jobs that will pay for your work in cryptocurrency.
3968  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Fiat-to-crypto - what's with the fees? on: November 17, 2019, 03:46:28 PM
It's normal, they will always charge you higher fees for fiat and lesser fees cryptocurrency exchange. There are some exchanges that would charge you 1.50% for fiat and 0.20% or more for cryptocurrency trading. Exchanges vary, I know some really good exchanges that would charge you less and still offer excellent services like those that are charging more. When there are good exchanges like this, then there is no need to go for the one's charging way too much. Some exchanges will even charge nothing, like the one I know that is in the EU and charges no fees for fiat exchange for those that are living in the EU.

You should just find the right exchange for you and that's the best way. Exchanges in your locality will charge less for every cryptocurrency and fiat exchange you make.
3969  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: list top 10 exchange in the market on: November 17, 2019, 03:09:37 PM
Everyone will always mention Binance, that's the number one cryptocurrency exchange, but I do like Coinbase. Maybe it's because it is the first exchange that I started making use, but I have always trusted them and I feel they have the best security so far because I have been following up with them since I joined this community. I only started to make use of Binance when I started seeing a lot of people mention them as the best exchange, but I never stopped making use of Coinbase because they offer the kind of services I like.

Other exchanges that are also good are Huobi, Kraken, OkeX, and KuCoin. I can still mention more, but that's unnecessary and I have already seen a lot of lists here. You should just go for the best, for me, I would say the best is Coinbase. I think people don't like Coinbase because they are fully regulated and I do see some mention fees, but I don't see much difference. And in terms of security, I will give it to Coinbase.

Maybe they will adopt cryptocurrency, but I don't know the particular they will be adopting. Some of them might not like to adopt Bitcoins because of volatility.

This has always been the problem with people adopting the Bitcoin as a currency, they are always afraid that they might store their money with it and the price will drop and they will end up losing their money in it.
If the FB Libra project was a success I can imagine that a lot of people will start adopting it quickly since it's a stable coin and backed up by some assets that will keep the price at the same level with the US Dollar.
3971  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What Will You Do To Recover Bitcoin? on: November 16, 2019, 01:24:55 PM
In 2010, you came across a site that was giving away bitcoins. The site said it was free money so you signed up. You were logging in to figure out how it was money but couldn't. The last time you logged in you had more than 100 bitcoins. Later you forgot about the site until 2017 when a ponzi was advertising Bitcoin. Bitcoin? The name rang a bell and you stated hearing stories. You remembered you must have many bitcoins  somewhere but you can't even remember the name of the site. How would you recover your BTC?
Lol, when I first heard that bitcoin was giving away thousand and millions of dollars to anyone that has held it before for a long time, and I was not sure if I ever bought as at the time I heard of bitcoin, because I must tell you that I really heard of bitcoin in 2010 too which I never paid much attention to even when they were giving it out free.

When I heard of bitcoin later, the first thing that I did was to start searching my mail to see if I have any related email to cryptocurrency or most of these Ponzi sites that I have joined before of which you must have surely link some to your email, so email is still the best bet for you to search through to see if you have participated in any of those projects, if you are not the type that threw a paper wallet away then.
3972  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bitsend can bounce back again? on: November 16, 2019, 08:13:03 AM
You already have all the clear signs there that bit send will never rise again, and I think that you should already let that project go now, they have already been delisted, and you said no update from them again, that is a very big sign that they have abandoned that project which there is nothing that you can do about that again, I only hope that you don’t have much investment in it that much.

If you have much investment, I am sorry about that and if there is any little one you can still sell, I will advise that you sell it and then move the money to bitcoin and hope that one day, that little one will be multiplied by bitcoin for you to receive your investment back. Try as much as possible to be picking your investment projects from top coins henceforth.
3973  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Altcoins to go crazy again once Bitcoin reaches 20k? on: November 16, 2019, 05:42:40 AM
Is it possible that we see another altcoin season, if Bitcoin breaches the all-time high and go above 20k? Do you find a direct correlation?

Everything is possible, but in my opinion if BTC would reach 20k USD per coin, altcoins will fall even deeper. When BTC rose from 3 to 10k USD, the dominance only increased and altcoins did not make even x2 science the beginning of 2019.
I think that anytime bitcoin is dominating, altcoins usually fall deeper, but in the case of bull run which is a special case, most altcoins usually respond to the bull run of bitcoin, especially the altcoins that are standing as top coins on exchanges, but the time that altcoins will surge in value is when bitcoin is on consolidation, which is when bitcoin has started its bull run, and probably decide to take a break for a while which is usually the consolidation period, and it is at this point that all these altcoins that you see start to rise in value, including the altcoins that looks dead already or the ones that are not functioning well again. So if bitcoin reaches that 20k, there is every possibility that bitcoin will go sideways and altcoins will start rising in value again.
3974  Economy / Economics / Re: Where's my free money? on: November 15, 2019, 06:16:45 PM
I was promised like 250k by McAfee in BTC value.

When's the price gonna skyrocket like the last 8 times? Tell me plz time travelers.
Cryptocurrency is not a free money, so I will advise you that you should stop wasting your time.. Before you make any money from cryptocurrency you're going to work for it or if you have the money you can invest in it. There is no other way, there is nothing like getting a free money (no food for a lazy man).

You should not mind people that are fond of saying that cryptocurrency is free money, they are just going to deceive you. I have seen some people that always say that, maybe because of faucets, but faucets are a huge waste of time. It might seem like you're making free money but that's not true, you're wasting your data and you're also going through some adverts that are very annoying.
3975  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Big prize for 1 participant in a signature campaign? on: November 15, 2019, 05:43:06 PM
It happens in different ways, but I have never seen that only 1 person participated in the signature bounty, I saw when there were 3 people maximum, and in the end these 3 people got their tokens, because I talked with one person who participated in that signature company, and so of course it all depends from the bounty manager and of course from the company that made the bounty, they will decide whether to pay a huge amount of tokens to one person or not.
but I have never seen a signature campaign followed by just one person. I think if the bounty project is devoid of followers the promotion is not running optimally, but if there is then the manager must make payments professionally.
It will never be possible because the project will not even raise any capital for them to be able to meet up, if there are no people to promote them, surely it will be very impossible to raise the marketcap and at the end they will even close the project which will make that one single hunter to lose its time and expectation. When it comes to campaign, I have never seen any project that has less than 20 campaign managers.

The only thing is that if the number of participants does not exceed that 20, they will have upper hand in able to have more but not everything because there are still some criteria that they will use to make payment too such as the number of people they have on their social media handle as usual, so op should erase that.
3976  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: could it be most project don't succeed? on: November 15, 2019, 10:23:11 AM
Indeed, the majority of projects won't even collect their soft caps and when they do, they would likely fail to keep the price on the same level as during the token sale. This is sad, but true and we cannot do much about it on such a market.
Most new ICO projects don’t hit their soft cap again because of the investors that are so scared of releasing their money to them now after scammer has scared them all away. Before any good project can be able to meet up with their soft cap again now would be when we have regulations in the crypto space, so that it will guide against all these scammers and will bring back the glory of ICO again.

Project cannot fully build on softcap because it would not get them to anywhere, and I think any project that is only able to raise softcap should not risk continuing on the project again, but just refund the money of the investors as the project will definitely fail as a result of lack of money that is enough to carry on the project to a standard.
3977  Economy / Economics / Re: The Risks and Rewards of Cryptocurrencies on: November 15, 2019, 04:42:34 AM
The risk of cryptocurrency is mainly about losing money due to the volatile nature of it. Apart from this risk of instability of values, other risks can be avoided when you're careful.

There are some who say that cryptocurrency lacks acceptance and that's why they don't want to make use of it, well that used to be true, but right now there are lots of businesses that are starting to accept the crypto payment such as bitcoin. Though another problem is that you have to be careful with them or just don't use your bitcoin for buying things online.

The next thing is theft: cryptocurrency wallets can be hacked, but you can still avoid this by being careful and securing your wallet with the proper security. These are the only risks I'm sure about and they can be avoided except the price instability.
3978  Economy / Economics / Re: The future of banking industry in blockchain on: November 15, 2019, 04:11:58 AM
Uuhm, I don't know if you have read about this JPM coin by JP Morgan Chase, I guess that's how things will turn out to be, maybe they will all start creating their own cryptocurrencies. The JPM coin is still a prototype and is being tested by institutional clients. The coin runs on a blockchain that is similar to Ethereum blockchain and is called Quorum.

If banks wants to start adopting blockchain they won't adopt Bitcoin, neither altcoins, rather they will create their own crypto coin that will be backed by the country's fiat asset. This way they will be able to make transactions faster, but I don't really see any need for all that since the method that's being used now is still fast when it comes making transactions within the country, except for international transactions. Unless they will adopt blockchain for just that – international transactions.
3979  Economy / Economics / Re: Would you use FB's Libra? on: November 14, 2019, 05:31:45 PM
I wouldn't just go for it when there is no reason to make use of it. It's a stable coin and the main purpose is just to serve as a payment method. So if there happens to be a lot of companies and people making use of it and accepting it as a payment method, then I might have to also start making use of it if there is a need for it.

Just like how I started making use of Bitcoin; I never had plans to make use of Bitcoin until there was a need for it, I wanted to do a transaction and I needed Bitcoin to receive the money that was being sent, that's how I got into it and developed more interest when I discovered that I can trade and even make more earnings from it.
3980  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Scarcity is one of the leading factors of Bitcoins value on: November 14, 2019, 04:24:00 PM
That has always been the main thing, bitcoin being scarce is one of the things that makes it valuable. If you check the two things that determine value in the economy, it is scarcity and utility and bitcoin has these two. That's the main things that are making bitcoin to be more desirable than other assets like gold.
 
As for the utility, just like some experts will always say, it has the potential to be a more efficient commodity. Another good reason people should like bitcoin is that it is decentralized, though I know that has its own downsides as well, being decentralized means that bitcoin cannot be tumbled by corruption.
