The only difference between an ICO and IEO is that the IEO is already listed on the exchange. You have to understand the background of why this move was made and why they thought it would work.

See previously when a ICO was tokensold, the excahnges would ask for huge fees for listing that - as a result the team had to cut down costs, listen to the constant bickering of social media channels on lack of exchanges. They would go for shitty and shady exchanges just to keep the majority happy.

IEO took that away and seemed to be a selling point. But basic problem of ICO is still here. Majority being vaporware and scams.

Did you coin this phrase on your own?

Of course it has happened to many people. Getting stuck in the euphoria cycle is common specially the new entrants. The wise people will sell before the highest point is touched because they know that waiting for that top means a hurry in trade and possible exchange lagging, transaction fees being huge and all.

Altcoins specially suffer from these types of pumps followed by dumps.

But you are selling just before the top is reached you are still making a good profit. The important thing is to recycle the money after selling.

20k - 25k is a big sum of money. Of course you are late in the game and you will end up with a loss if you buy bitcoin or any altcoin at this price trend. The market recently pumped and you are not the only one to get attracted to it right at this time. Nobody cares about bitcoin when it dumps and become bearish - do they?

Putting that aside, you have to first learn to see buying points, right now like I said is a bad time to buy bitcoin because the pump is in my opinion an inorganic one and will drop very soon. Either way choosing a buying level right now is a tough thing to do. I would go with the <30k USD price range to buy but even that is pretty high comparing to what we saw in the last 2-3years. The best way to determine this is to wait for the bull market to reverse.

Important thing is patience. Newbie traders get burnt out because of their enthusiasm, hence dont get too cocky on things.

Do the math, if the scheme offers 10% per month then in 1year the person investing there has doubled their money. This is theoretically not possible comparing to what the banks deposits interest can offer. Hence the more likely possibility here is that the site is being used for a scam.

The pictures used in the EthereumWhite project were stock images and therefore a scam itself. This should be clear to you already. Hence my suggestion would be to advice any known contact of yours to not invest in the above site or its schemes.

Whoever they are targeting, does not matter. Fact is that they are scamming others. Fake images, fake addresses - only a scam runs like that.

Currently I have sold DOGE due to the bullrun but I did that against USDT - the reason being very simple: If I were to sell DOGE for BTC, the amount of BTC I would get back would be much less compared to what can get if I use the same USDT to buy BTC when BTC drops. This recycling is important and since I am bullish on BTC, it makes sense to me to accumulate more BTC.

USDT is only an intermediary here, no hopes of holding on to it.

Now coming to your queries, I personally feel using the stablecoin intermediary is a good option to maximize the possible profit. It does include the risk of losing out in case Tether breaks down which many people ponder on. That is one risk that you have to take.

This liquidity issue with Altcoin<>BTC takes place during a bull/bear run only.

I would suggest you to not make such generic topics and do some ground work and basic research when these questions usually come to the mind.

The above posts have highlighted some good ones among them. Make sure to use the one that allows citizens from the country where you reside or talk to the local community users first.

Now coming back to "price" - are you referring to transaction fees taken by the credit card company or the price of the cryptocurrency? Every exchange out there has some pros and cons. Now exchanges that accept credit/debit cards are going to have a significant fee for the payment processing. Also crypto price changes with time and therefore buying bitcoin would mean first you would to choose a price that you wish to buy because the fiat spent is fixed but the amount of bitcoin bought varies.

Your basic understanding of the system is wrong. There is not prohibition of such acts. But the bitcointalk community will frown upon your actions here. This has nothing to do with the ETH blockchain, you are free to do whatever you wish to with your money.

But when you are pooling your money on another address because it is your "friend" whom you trust so much that you hand over all your money and they exchange it back for you - you will be marked as an alt account of that address or vice versa.

These are only excuses that bounty hunters who have alt accounts use. You might be a legitimate person who has a legit owernship of an ETH address but no one in the crypto sphere sends their coins to be entrusted to another user unless the gim reality that the other address is also owned by them.

Moreover you cannot prove the opposite, hence you will one day be caught and marked with a red trust rating for being an alt account cheater.

Realistically you can make anything from zero to 10x of the capital.

Newbies traders who enter the market without proper groundwork on trading and how these market operate are more eligible to go with the zero profit scheme.

I appreciate your enthusiasm but that is what is going to drag you down as well. Full-time trading? Not for the average user who has entered the crypto sphere recently and got pumped up seeing some shill youtube videos about trading.

One of the biggest things that can help you is patience for watching the market and knowing when to buy and when to sell. Currently the price is high and Elon-musked high. Hence this is the time to sell NOT buy. In other words, wrong time to enter the market.

Read past charts and observe the support levels. Dont just buy thinking this is going up and this is not. Indicators and all are only markers, not absolute of the trend.

No, that would be a highly suspicious thing to happen. With so many exchanges running a sudden freeze of market price is clearly a remote possibility and a panic producing one.

Does it really matter what people use it for? Fiat is only used for transaction but you get into FOREX too. Similarly bitcoin can be used to buy/sell altcoins or fiat. The more uses an asset gains the better for the asset only.

Being a deflationary currency and a censorship-resistant one, it is bound to have leaps in price and therefore chances of speculation.

If you buy everyday, you will eventually run out of liquid cash at hand which is needed for everyday purchases. This is less if your country has merchants accepting bitcoin so buying it would be practical.

You should buy at prices that you know are support levels or if the market crashes. Not everyday because the price on those days is never predetermined. That is a foolish thing to do.

I think you are being misled. Celebs care about their money and their company. They know that if they become bullish for a time that product will gain a lot of FOMO. Now since nobody actually controls bitcoin, it becomes their target. I somewhat like and dislike this at the same time because although this brings more attention to bitcoin, the price growth is an inorganic one.

Watch my words carefully, I dont use the term "fake" but "Inorganic". This type of growth does not feature any support/resistance levels and therefore bound to drop or rise unexpectedly. That is why drawing a conclusion based on this growth is dangerous.

Of course you can make money off the market movement. But dont expect to watch Musk be bullish when the market starts crashing. They will all go back to their hole for the rest of the year. I am saying this out of observation not being spiteful.

You can be very much assured that any such "Bot" on telegram is a risky thing to deal with. If you want to buy sell coins, go to an exchange not some random username on the internet who promises you to sell those coins. These things always end up with a scam and you will be sorry for being so stupid when you could have prevented it.

I can understand why they are targeting Indian users, since the current RBI news about banning crypto is creating undue panic among Indian bitcoin users to sell their assets and exit the markets. If this is the case do not worry, our Indian startups are very much active on social media and they are working to counter this type of bills. But such scam bots will be there to scam people who are not careful.

In case you need to trade, head over to out Indian section in this forum. Several users are there and trusted with previous deals. There are p2p and CEXes for Indian users, you just need to look in the right place.

Correction may take time to occur. But that would mean a loss for your since you are already in gains?

Just keep one thing in mind. If it goes up it has to come down. It is only a question of when not how.

Since currently big companies have invested or shown interest in crypto, bull run is happening. But ask me, this is a inorganic bullish trend. I suspect the market to crash very soon and that would be the time when the FOMO will stop.

If you are in gains, sell those coins and book the profit in a stablecoin only to buy back BTC when the BTC price goes down or sell for BTC directly. Either way, this is the time to sell coins and not buy into the FOMO.

There have been projects related to crypto but not using an altcoin. They may provide a service like a wallet or an exchange but no token as of now. These projects are less popular than the ones that have actually raised through an ICO/Token sale.

Point is that hype is what runs this market. You cannot attempt to make a name for your project unless you are launching your own token. Everyone wants to invest in tokens but few actually look at the legitimacy.

We can have an exchange or a project in general that raises capital by equity listed on a stock exchange and dealing with giving services about crypto. But will these be popularly known to the crypto public? I doubt that but I am also hopeful about the same.

The unstable market is the place to actually make money. But if you are going FOMO then you will lose money and that truth is most people get into FOMO. For example, buying bitcoin now because Elon Musk bought some is being FOMO. But selling now is the wise choice.

I would like to question how long you have been trading?

Seems too much of a workload the way you put in. That is not trading per se, that is analyzing the market without knowing what to do. You dont need to see trends every second - that is needed for day traders and for leverage trading, both of which are doing to increase your mental pressure and should be avoided to keep money safe.

Either way if you think its too much for you, you should stop trading. Still buying low and selling high, holding during the middle is a profitable process if you know how to enter and exit.

PS. Thread should be moved to the proper section.

Celebs doing their thing.

They dont care about the problems faced by the economy after a pandemic, but their own profits and using the market's situation to bullrun their own assets. There is a lot of FOMO, I agree. This is the time to sell bitcoin and Dogecoin if you own any and hold USD - the intelligent move. Wrongly though some newbies will rush in the FOMO and I am expecting a drop in price after this trend ends at which point the actual buying should be done.

Now institutions may be hedging funds or not, cannot be said right away. They are trying to move a stagnant market of bitcoin to a moving one is my assumption. They may be trying to use this opportunity to make a profit off what they had bought. It might vary from person to person.

Again the rich people will always become rich, so no crisis for them but more chances of profits. The middle and poor classes will suffer.

A token cannot be removed completely from existence. There will be some wallets holding it and still not been delisted from exchanges which is the most extreme step that can be taken. It is not the job of the  price/market cap aggregators to do this segregation, they make a list of what is there in the market because someone who needs the info can get it using their service.

Volume is not exactly zero for any shitcoin. However this is one of the bad effects of having an unregulated marketplace and shitcoins being created out of the blue.

If you are having such a coin, then your are out of luck and probably looking at a loss unless it goes up in price.

You mean Elon Musk buying bitcoin and allowing Tesla Cars to be bought using bitcoin to be the reason of "coming a long way"? Think again my friend. You are seeing a inorganic growth of this sector. I am sure bullish waves are huge right now and seem to be going even higher but the crash can happen and then even Musk will not be there to save your money. This is rather the time to sell bitcoin and book the profit before you buy again when the crash happens.

This question in your mind means you are not understanding the advantages of bitcoin over fiat. There are disadvantages too but the pros are enough to give it a position close to global fiat currencies.

Censorship resistant, deflationary, decentralized currency is something for the future.

Stop following charts without analyzing them. A noob looking at charts right now will think about going FOMO - but that is the wrong move. You dont buy at the top, you sell.

Data comes from aggregators like Coinmarketcap or Coingecko. But it is best to run them on another tab and check the price there first.

Possible, if the data is coming incorrectly from the source. Also liquidity of a single token varies with exchanges. On some exchanges there might be a marginal difference than another well liquidated exchange. This depends on an individual token.

Swap may not work for a lot of different reasons. But your question is vague and you havent replied to any of the posts in this thread either. If you come online and this problem still exists, reply here so that people might be able to help you out.

Taking the fact that majority of tokens are nowadays exchanged via DEXes like Uniswap and Sushi, if you havent done anything wrong in that procedure, the process should be smooth.

I am sure people in the chat rarely post everything in context of the conversation. Random good luck and hello messages often happen and some users might be busy with their own bets enough to not check what others are actually posting.

Of course it is a casino, so their wishing you good luck would not change the outcome of the next roll. It is done mostly to ease the pain and get over the loss and move on. Many players lose a lot and then become heartbroken at their gambling habits and that you surely dont want to be in future.

Good luck, gamble responsibly and keep winning more prizes.

Since the time bitcoin's price started to grow by exponential values, this trend has set in. It does not mean they are not going to sell - an investor has a lifetime and idea of what they are going to do with their investments in case of their demise; their next generation may or may not be so diligent.

If they dont sell, the market becomes dry and less liquid, until someone sees the profit in rising prices and sells - this will happen due to supply and demand but will gradually make the coins increase in value.

Not that this is a bad thing, because till date I havent seen anything bad about it from being a holder though I cant say the same for a no-coiner - they might be feeling jealous of hodlers assets.

Brainfart much?

Government aid is needed in future for merchants to accept and use bitcoin in a quick and easy way without having crypto bans happening.
