I dont understand only one- reason for do this, raise money? but who will believe to "this" and invest?
Sadly, there are blind investors that support the project even without doing further research. That bounty is an obvious scam and those people that keep joining are not looking at the feedback and they post just as they're doing it with hope or just trying out if it will work.
And whoever those people that create bots to continue posting on that thread and others, they all have the same reason and purpose. It's automated and they don't see the trust feedback of the manager or any update about that bounty.

This is somehow interesting to me as it's my first time to imagine that this even possible to create bots who keep posting repetetevly.
I think someone has found it out and observed that after refreshing continuously, he has witnessed the unstoppable posting of newbie accounts.
I forgot who exactly posted that but you can search it somewhere on Meta, I guess or some other boards about those bots.

who still sits in from on a computer just to send coins ?
Me.  Cheesy

Don't blame people for not investing when you aren't making things easier for them, mobile users are much more than PC users, dear developers start considering mobile wallet pls
You can suggest this to the developers of the project that you are following. Maybe they don't think that it's necessary for them to create their own token. But once they have heard someone talking to them with sense and demand like this, they might think of it and do it in expedite.

Even if there was an issue of about 51% attack for ETC, there are still a lot of miners for this coin? With the newest trends and models for GPUs, there will be a lot of people again that would turn into mining altcoins. There will be a supply and demand issue for GPUs again and the oldest to near latest model will plummet in prices. I'm not a miner and planning to be one soon and mining altcoins is what I can see as a good option for me. But is it a good choice to mine ETC despite the 51% attack issue?

4025  Economy / Economics / Re: Why BTC is digital gold? on: December 02, 2020, 08:35:24 PM
Calling it digital gold is subjective and it depends on the person who calls it by that title. I would distinguish bitcoin as a digital gold in my own terms and belief. And if there are people who disagree calling it by that title, it's their problem and they should mind their own business. It is a fact that we're in the era where you can put assets in digital version and bitcoin is one of it. There are more that can be said as digital gold but it's just bitcoin getting attention because we're a crowd that is telling it. And those traditional "experts" can't accept it on their own terms too.
4026  Economy / Speculation / Re: Above $20,500, BTC will give $4k+ move. Here is why on: December 02, 2020, 07:59:22 PM
Another good way is to move to alts which still have 2x upside left.
Profits that you've made on bitcoin can be good to be used for moving alts as you try to avoid some squeezing or the volatility that it shows. But there are traders who are trading bitcoin directly to alts and I think that's not favorable to them. And as much as I want to trade, I'll keep the BTC and use my other resources to buy alts. Well, that's on me and I'm thinking of keeping BTC first than trading it with alts unless I'll trade it for stable coin and keep it for a while until rebuying back again when it the dip comes.
4027  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoin pump and dumps ! on: December 02, 2020, 07:27:34 PM
Hey guys,
I am wondering what you think of altcoin pump and dump groups ?
They are basically a large group of people on discord like this one : https://discord.gg/ugkkmfEQKU
And they basically decide on an altcoin to pump and they all buy at the same time and then sell for double and make profits...
I watched a whole pump and people were making a lot of money lol what's the catch ?
thx
Don't be too excited watching them, they may look profitable to you but in return, you're likely to suffer afterward. Better to avoid pump and dump groups and do your investment and trading on your own.
It's best to learn from your own than to depend on them. They also charge people joining them so if you think that's good for you, think again. They really are not good for someone who doesn't know what pump and dump groups do.
4028  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is POW algo abandoned? on: December 01, 2020, 09:32:14 PM
I don't think that the PoW system has major weaknesses it is how crypto was working but it tends to be abandoned by coins that were useless anyway.
Those coins that are abandoning PoW doesn't really have what it takes to be declared as a good project. Whilst ETH has migrated from PoW to PoS, it is what its developers see as a solution for scale issues.
If PoW has major weaknesses in general then bitcoin isn't secured. Don't forget that bitcoin's consensus algorithm is pow.
4029  Economy / Services / Re: Portfolio Management services on: December 01, 2020, 08:36:30 PM
I have a portfolio management service as a trader where I charge $500 a fixed fee and then 25% of profits every month with $150 as fixed monthly fee.

Over the past 8 months, I have been managing 9 accounts for $150,000+ and have generated a cumulative return of 428% on the portfolio with 25% as my share of the profits. Not willing to expand my customer pool a lot (maybe 1 more) but do you suggest I increase the profit-sharing percentage to 35%?

The clients are happy but they won't be happy with 35% I believe.
They won't be for sure. In this bull run, they'll complain that you're charging it because its seasonal. But honestly, I've never thought that there are people that really are hiring someone to manage their crypto portfolio. And with this, I can see that you are making a good profit out of it.
How long you're into this type of service?

For stocks, full time since almost 3/4 years For crypto, 2.5 years. I traded 6 months in 2017. Took a break in 2018 and then started again.
I either take their accounts with withdrawal locked so that they have full trust that I can not withdraw their cryptos.
We settle every month.

But when BTC was $3700 or so, I started focusing less on trading and more on investment. Some of those clients did not share the profits (since this was long term and by the time the markets boomed to $9k which was another resistance point, they had 3x return).
So I mostly help with trading only now. Say from a 1 week to 3 month's perspective. Not more.

I will share the proofs in a couple of days. Everyone who is saying that without proof, it isn't justified is very right! In fact, you should see my other threads as well.
I respect people who have opinions and ask questions, debate, accept when they are wrong and also prove others wrong!


Anything without proper reasoning doesn't make sense, and so is this thread of mine. Thanks for pointing it out.

I'm actually interested how this works for you and for your clients. I'm not looking for proofs, just an explanation on how you are working on this. And I find it interesting that you've been in a hiatus and did the correct thing on 2018. Whilst for your clients, you're aware of how risky it is but with experience, you know what you're doing. Anyway, since you have mentioned about the proofs, I'll look into it and will wait for that data. That's interesting to see.
4030  Economy / Speculation / Re: December for moon on: December 01, 2020, 07:13:12 PM
Yes, the bull run will occur in December, of course, the alt seasson that many traders are waiting for I guess. 
You don't see the market, do you? The bull run has just been around us all of this time and yet you haven't noticed it. We're in December already but if you will appreciate all of the past months that we've got, you'll get to understand that we've been running bullishly all of this time.

Buy it now and you can sell it in mid-December when the alt season starts.
And for buying, we've been telling this before that everyone has to buy at those prices that are under $15k and $10k. Now, they're starting to think again if it's best to buy. They can wait until bitcoin goes back to those low prices or we might not see those prices again ever.

You are okay to test it with small amounts. But it's advisable to use exchanges that many are trusting and just because you've seen it as good as you want to, I'll still go with the majority.
The old, reputable and common exchange. They are easy to ask if you get into a trouble about your withdrawals on their exchange.
4033  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Airdrops or "Scam-drops"? on: November 30, 2020, 10:18:05 PM
This didn't happened just only these days. Even before, prior to the bull run you'll see a lot of ICOs were asking for their bounty participants to have this kind of partaking. They were asked for their ETH address and when the rewards were about to come, they were asking them to send a small amount of ETH for the GAS. Before, many just followed it and didn't want to take caution from it. But afterward, they have understood that they shouldn't be giving any amount of ETH because they've participated and they should be the one that must be rewarded.

I also met some conditions when I had to pay some Ethereum, which was required as a GAS fee. At that time, I did not even suspect that there could be such a fraud that is associated with the ongoing ICO and believed in the integrity of the team and good intentions. This was a good lesson for me, which helped me further identify different types of scams.
Everybody have learned in the past and this technique from the crowdfunding projects using it again. While the new sets of bounty hunters won't take precaution because they feel that it's a normal action and requirement from the project that they are participating. But analyzing and understanding it, they shouldn't really be required doing it.
4034  Economy / Speculation / Re: What's next for Bitcoin? on: November 30, 2020, 09:47:13 PM
Finally the wait is over as Bitcoin has got a new ATH before the begining of December, what's next? Now we will so too many speculations with title like "Bitcoin to moon" Bitcoin will reach $1,00,000 within few months and all. But we really need to set right expectations in order to make sure we don't get carried away with the market chaos, I feel we need to wait for atleast a week and do various factors which might affect the value of Bitcoin for atleast one month before making any decision about buying or selling in order to stay safe.
As for buying, it's a complicated decision for those who are doubting that it will go higher. And the situation of 2017 can also happen for them and that's why there are doubts that's being done as they don't want that to happen to them.
And for selling, if it's profit, you don't think of it as a complicated thing. You get your profits and you take care of your whole portfolio, sell but don't sacrifice all what you've got.
4035  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is investing in crypto a good idea? on: November 30, 2020, 09:14:24 PM
i think active development of the cryptomarket says better than everything else about  possibilities of investment ) sure you should be careful and check projects but i can recommend u to look into defi - this topic now hypes a lot
besides, good advice. i'm also researching cool defi projects, and especially - decentralized exchanges.
It's on hype and it's somehow late already if you will be investing on decentralized finance projects. I'd be careful buying any of them and if you're a hunter for those new defi projects, you need to be more careful.
If you're still not aware that there were defi projects that turned into a scam, a full exit plan made by its developers. You don't want that to happen to you guys and that's why researching as said is correct and needed.
4036  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊[Boxing] Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Junior [PPV on Nov. 28] on: November 30, 2020, 08:30:06 PM
maybe we can see a cross-over, Tyson fighting in UFC?
He said that he want to fight Jones again. But this could be an interesting cross-over if the known UFC fighter who likes fighting boxers.
But this will depend on Tyson if he wants to as well. Btw, if somebody is still not aware of that UFC fighter that likes to box, that's Conor.
Fighting Jones again? I think that's a bad idea, this is an exhibition fight, they do what people wanted to see, and people have already judge because they believe Tyson won the fight so there's no reason to prove it, maybe a another boxer with a good record during their pro days would give some excitement, someone who is willing to engage in a toe to toe fight.
I think he had fun and wanted to make that moment happen again. He was once in the professional peak of his career and I think he just felt again the spotlight and that's why he want to fight again. Whether it will be with Roy Jones again or with someone else.

So in the end of  Long waiting and for a Fight that may never happen again the Ending is a Big DRAW..Maybe Mike did not expect That Jones is still has that Stamina  .to stand still after the last round.
So whats the next Big thing in Boxing?Tyson vs Hollifield?
We'll never know but he wants to fight again.

4038  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Why do people invest in DeFi tokens with unaudited smart contracts? on: November 29, 2020, 10:02:00 PM
So why do investors take such a huge risk despite these bad experiences to still invest in new crypto projects smart contract audit carried out by a reputable third-party security firm? Are they not scared of loss of their money?
In the technical aspect, they probably don't know about those things. All they care is about the profit that they can get potentially if they start investing to those finance projects. Ever heard of FOMO? that's what mostly do when there's something new that came out and it's giving everyone the opportunity to invest. They don't look at the technical sides and as long as someone has been heard and profited on it already, they'll come and go. The same craze during ico.

The gambling industry does really partake a huge portion of a country's entire economy. And good to see that France is recovering somehow through their gambling industry. If other countries who have banned online gambling will take a look into it as an inspiration and base their case study. We might see them opening their borders for their citizens to also conduct online gambling. Not unless, their physical casinos also shares a huge part in their economy and starts to complain taking online casinos down and halt their operations.

Basically, it's how the majority of the people react whenever you ask them what bitcoin is. Are you expecting that each from your neighborhood knows bitcoin? they don't. Even in my neighborhood, I guess only a few of them knew about it but I don't know who exactly they are that knows it and the majority isn't aware of it. It will take time that most people will be aware of bitcoin. Not everyone has access to the internet and a tech-savvy.
