I urge caution for anyone trying to buy Libra. I have s near escape. I saw an advert on Facebook and was thinking of getting some. But I remember reading that Libra is not launch. It seems that Facebook dun really check on the authencity of the adverts. After this incident I saw 2 more different adverts from Facebook selling Libra!
It helps a lot to read a little here and there about the latest news about crypto. It will not only help you keep updated about the latest developments, it will also keep you relatively safe from scams such as this. We can read even here in a crypto forum about pathetic members asking where to buy Libra, how to buy Libra, whether it is a good investment, or they will HODL it because it is owned by a very popular company. This kind of individuals are likely to fall to the Libra scams found not only on Facebook but in other social media platforms also. |

It is good to be Optimistic, but sometimes you assume the worst so as to be able to endure the hard time, we have thought the bearish be over by now, different speculations...with the view of things, the bear persists,there is a lenght to which everyone can persevere in tough time. how long can you endure the bear?
I can endure until the bulls will come. I have endured worst of times in the past. This dump in prices within a few days is nothing compared to the $20,000 to $3,000 unimaginable dump in BTC and $1,400 to $150 dump in ETH price and others. Patience is always the key. The crypto ride, after all, has always been as bumpy. |

Or maybe there's no incentive to try a 51% attack on Dogecoin though, because it's not as popular as the other coins in the alts market. And perhaps Dogecoin design (PoW) is very solid from the very beginning.
What do you guys think?
I tend to believe on the latter rather than on the former. In fact, I don't share your view that Dogecoin is not as popular as the other coins in the altcoin market. One has to simply look at where Dogecoin right now, after all those years that it existed, and realize that unlike thousands of new coins right now which are merely developed for the sake of money, Dogecoin remained at a higher spot, with utility, with solid supporters, and even with a much brighter future than the rest. |

I know nobody can predict it but I am wondering if I should move my BTC into a stablecoin now in fear of losing more or if I will get angry when I lose the trading fees and then watch it go back up again. That happened to me b4 actually.
Also sidequestion what it the a cheap and fast way to move into a stablecoin that is supported on the Ledner nano S.
You are fearful right now, mate. And there is also a brewing anger inside you. You are full of emotions. If I were you, keep your Bitcoin as it is, forget the price updates for a while. Do you think that this emotional state that you are now will get pacified because of some prediction coming from someone else has become the basis of your decision? I doubt it. You might only shift the blame from yourself to another stranger. |

I am not sure if this thread is in its right section. This seems to be a discussion of the recent falling of Bitcoin's price. This could fit under speculation (here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=57.0) or in the Bitcoin discussion itself (here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=1.0) Anyway, I have already read a lot of speculations and rumors around this recent price drop, and I don't think it needs more of this. At the end of the day, if we are truly supporters and believers of Bitcoin, this will not bother us really. We only need to extend our vision farther and surely we can see better days ahead. |

A lot of people come online making rounds series of predictions on what becomes of prices of the two most popular cryptocurrencies. This action has cost series of newbies a fortune which they lost to investment based on such predictions.
2017 was a great year for some people in bitcoin and ethereum trading while it was a doom of some most especially those that were then new to cryptocurrency. Some of these people are yet to recover from lost to the investment at the time bitcoin traded at over $18,000. We have seen another one recently with the last and very short bull run.
Will this be another blow to the prediction based investors?
People really have to realize that whatever prediction they stumble upon on this forum, on social media sites, on chat channels or rooms, and wherever online are as good as theirs. Predictions are just like that, mere predictions. It could serve as a guide but it is not a sneak peak of the future. The future could be the total opposite of what is being predicted. My advice is to learn to make predictions themselves, acquire skills in analyzing charts, read news and updates, and so on. For all we know, the prediction that they are reading is coming from a noob trying to appear a pro. The internet is a free universe, everyone could say whatever. |

Yesterday the price of Bitcoin was $9700 and today the price is $8500. Yesterday the price of Ethereum is $200 and today the price is $170. So which coin is prefer to buy?
Yesterday, the other day, the months before that, today, tomorrow, and the next years both Bitcoin and Ethereum are occupying the first and second rank, respectively. Yesterday they are cheap, today they are cheaper, it means it is buying time. Do not put yourself in difficult yet unnecessary situations. It is not forbidden to buy ETH if you already have BTC. Neither is it forbidden to buy BTC if you already have ETH. |

Hey everyone. I'm new to crypto and I wanted to ask if there's a point of buying crypto with a credit card.
I found a lot of exchanges where users can easily (as they say) buy cryptocurrencies with their bank card. I mean, at binance they request like a lot of data about me, including my phone number or date of birth.
Aren't they selling my private info (that would explain 0,25$ fee on changelly for example), and doesn't that conflicts with the statement about my anonymity?
That would be fair for every fiat-to-crypto exchange, so my question is: do you use it and is it really safe?
I do not use it but it is widely used nowadays. That is perhaps one of the most convenient ways to buy Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. However, if you have other options such as buying through peer-to-peer or through outlets that do not require you to submit personal identification information, you better choose it. It is always safer to buy it anonymously rather than with your identity exposed. Binance, for example, may be trusted and relatively safe but it has already experienced KYC data leak. Incidents like this could actually expose your personal information to the wide public. |

If projects want to engage in a token swap, then it has to be done automatically and not manual as not every investor will be aware of the swap announcements.
If it has to be a manual token swap then they should leave the swap open forever so that investors can swap whenever they can do so and not forced to do so at a set deadline.
I am with you on this idea. The problem with swapping is that there is too much assumption on the project development's side. They cannot just do that especially when token swap is involved. They assume for example that every token owner is constantly following their updates. That is a bad assumption. Another could be that even if some are not following, they will still get hold of the information in less than a month's time. That is another bad assumption from them. The best would be automatic swap regardless of where the tokens are stored by the individual owners. If it is not automatic, it has to be left open ended. If it cannot be done that way, it has to be planned and announced much earlier than the swapping dates, like a year or 10 months before. And the swapping dates should also be opened within a year or 10 months. |

most of crypto-followers are believing it is a good time to buy. I hope the market goes up again or big losses might occur. The market is not that predictable.
But, it looks like the BAKKT or hash rate dropping may have effect on the price of BTC which affected all other coins.
Most probably. The accumulation of BTC in line with the prospective launching of Bakkt was done months ago. Perhaps during the time when the price of BTC was still around $3,000. Hence the hard dumping of their BTC right now. They must have made good profit already. The sudden drop in hash rate was rather unforeseen. That could have also surprised some BTC holders and suddenly decided to make a dump as well. However, all these are pure speculations. Even the news about the sudden 4-digit fall of BTC in a matter of a few hours was also founded on rough speculations. |

I recently started managing my first bounty campaign, however, its been a few days and we have yet to see any traction.
The project I'm managing the campaign for is currently in their early startup stages, however, they are running on the VeChainThor Blockchain, they are closely related and in collaboration with an existing prominent project, and are set to release their MVP before the public sale is even set to end.
All these are clear indications, at least to myself, that the project is legitimate and seems to have potential to be a great success. So I would have expected to see more traction by now, but I haven't.
So my question to you all, what do you look for in a bounty campaign?
Do you value a project with a better product, or a project that is giving away higher rewards?
Are there any requirements that steer you away from participating in a campaign?
Any insight and feedback would be extremely helpful so that I can adjust my campaign if needed in order to maximize the results.
Thanks!
This is exceptional of you directly reaching out to the bounty hunters themselves. Let me give you my two cents. In general, bounty hunters are looking for a couple of things. One is legitimacy/reliability of the project. The second is high reward. But the two should go together. If one is missing, that is enough good reason for them to steer away from promoting your project. I am speaking of myself and perhaps the majority of bounty hunters of this forum. We do a little background checking of the project we are promoting. We may do a quick glance over your whitepaper, social media accounts, ANN thread, website, and review sites. If the result is positive, we are going to take a look at the rewards. If it is too small and there are already many participants, I might proceed to check another project. But if it is good enough, I will be glad to work for it. But if the project is offering millions and millions in tokens but everything looks shady, like their project team is a bit off, that's scrap for me. And please, look for a good and responsive manager. People here do not like managers or admins with bad temper. Thanks for the comments. A few of mine if you don't mind: I've heard many people state that a large number of participants steer potential bounty hunters away. Is that because most bounties are staked-based and the more participants, the less the reward? Also, what would you say high rewards are technically when it comes to the different types of bounties? Lastly, if you have time, would you be able to review my bounty thread and provide feedback based on your own initial thoughts? I really want to help the project I'm managing grow and increase its exposure, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Bounty Thread LinkI took a quick tour in your bounty thread. Here's what I found: 1. "PlanChain has allocated 1,500,000 PLAN tokens (~$30,000 USD)" This ~$30,000 USD may be good enough in terms of little tasks such as retweet, etc. but I am almost certain that by the time PLAN will hit the market, this amount will probably be around 5,000 USD. 2. ~$30,000 USD for 6 different campaigns and in a couple of months might actually be too low. 3. "All participants must complete the KYC Registration process on the PlanChain website to receive any reward." If you can, remove this. This is a complete BS to the majority of the bounty hunters here. Imagine a participant of yours having this: "Reward: 100 PLAN (~$2.00)" undergoing all this intrusive KYC process. 4. Your reward system is not stake-based, right? But you have pegged your total reward at 1,500,000 PLAN tokens? And since you have no limit as to the number of participants, how could you be sure that there is enough for everyone in this 1,500,000 PLAN tokens allocation? Good luck! |

I wish you luck! Stellar (XLM) is the one leading in the last altcoin pump. That could mean that Stellar (XLM) is still under the careful watch of many investors. There is no shortage of Stellar (XLM) buyers once the next sign of an altcoin rally pops out. But we should dismiss the possibility that Stellar (XLM) could do a one-coin rally. That will not happen at this time. Stellar (XLM) will be moving alongside the top altcoins as well. Their charts are almost similar, after all. |

In time like this, when market is down, bull run has refused to come, panic selling, and all coin value depressed, especially for those who just rely on bounty who make campaigns, so many token yet to be delivered, some yet to come into exchange,those in exchange with poor value. I feel so bored, how about you?
In times like this, the weak hands are going to fall while the strong hands will continue HODLing with strong patience and will reap the benefits in the coming better days. I don't agree with you that there is panic selling right now. I cannot feel it. Neither can I see it in the charts. There is no huge dumping of coins. There is red and green alternating but there is no significant movement which we may consider as a bear or bull sign. This is nothing to be panic about. But, as usual, the new altcoins will be suffering the most because of these uncertain times. If you are also uncertain as to their future, you better go for a few bucks by dumping them rather than zero in the days to come. |

70% is too high a dominance for Bitcoin. It is good for Bitcoin HODLers but definitely bad for the altcoins fans. If Bitcoin's dominance will fall to the 60% level, that is still going to be high if we what we wanted to see are strong waves of green from the altcoins. Bitcoin will have to settle down to around 50% dominance for a great deal of altcoin recovery. Even then, only strong altcoins will make gains. The shitcoins will remain shitcoins despite the increase of altcoin percentage of the total market value. |

I'll just stick to the term "fundamentals". This is the project's do or die. Or perhaps "fundamentals" is the project itself. A project with a great marketing and promotion, with a nice website, hardworking developers, etc does not necessarily mean they are up for success already. If the project has below quality fundamentals, I'm afraid they will still end up where they are destined to-- at the trash bin. The crypto world is very competitive already. Innovation is a tight race.

Scammers will always be there. They will search for a new target so they can get their money. They will convince people, especially new people to follow them and they will act that they are the right person to help them. But the truth is the new people who don't search for more information about what they offer will follow them and give their money without thinking twice.
The scammers will not stop their job to trick as many people as they can because that is their job. They always search for the opportunity to get more and more new people so they can get more money from them. And in the crypto world, they can easy to find new people who will give the money to them, and they will run away from those new people after they got the money. I see that they only need to create a new website with a fresh design, fresh profile image, fresh project which is pretending to be the real project so people will believe them and join with them.
So you need to be careful because you don't know which project is real and not and don't believe if you don't get any information about them.
Scammers will scam. Customers will either fall for them or educate themselves sufficiently to avoid them. The government agencies will be running after them as well. However, since the scammers are not too foolish to just appear as they are, the best defense against them is for us to be extremely careful against their schemes. A little doubt about a project should be enough for us to raise them to the devs. If not promptly and properly addressed and resolved, better hold your precious money and do not invest. Invest only when there is 100% certainty that the project is clean and most probably successful. |

No no, not yet the right time.
People are still glued with traditional money which is fiat.
To change is that is a lot of hard work.
Yes we are now in the world where credit cards or other plastics are the means of how we pay then we just pay the bank with our account. We dont even need to use the paper money anymore as long as banks say you do still have a balance.
Now bitcoin, the smartphone era is here. Every human being even kids can handle one of it.
We now use applications which will just scan a QR code then you can pay.
It is upgrading but it is still fiat which is being used.
How much better could bitcoin offer about this?
It has to be admitted at this stage in time that Bitcoin could not offer much as compared to fiat. That is in terms of convenience and comfort. Fiat is still way more convenient to the majority of the people. They could just leave their bills under their saucers in restaurants when they hurriedly need to go. That cannot be done with Bitcoin. What Bitcoin offers right now is actually more than just convenience and comfort. They offer freedom, and real ownership, and transparency, and so on, but most of the consumers as of this time do not care about those. They care only that they can pay conveniently. They are oblivious that fiat is a tool of slavery. |

Another good step towards mainstreaming of Bitcoin in the Philippines. Getting into a 7-11 partnership is kind of a big deal because 7-11 stores are almost found in all the major islands of the country. Abra competing with coins.ph is a healthy sign. Competition will benefit the customers more than the competitors themselves. The good thing about Abra is that it is catering to a lot more altcoins than coins.ph. That is going to become an edge of the company especially to those people who are huge supporters of altcoins.

Once Cardano was my very favorite coin and I suggested everyone buy and hold it. The project looked very unique to me. But by all means, I wanted profit which Cardano failed to give us. Now, I totally moved out from Cardano but feeling good that they are coming on trend again! Cardano may surpass a new high within a few months, they have such a good development plan at this moment.
Same here. When Cardano entered the crypto market, everyone was like wowed by their grand entrance. The value of ADA skyrocketed to the sky. Everybody was amazed at how an unknown coin suddenly entered the market and gained all the attention of investors. I was one of those who suddenly checked Google to get to know the project more. And it was really promising. But then for some reasons Cardano slowly falls down. If it recovers, I'd be very glad. I am still holding some ADA in my portfolio until now. |
