Using filters to change the images slightly and stopping the reverse image searching method is now being used by many scammers. Like I previously said, scammers and anti-scammers are like cat and mouse game.
While anti-scammers will attempt to take down scammers, the later will try to evade them by such methods. It is also sad to see how some people think that they are going to use digital methods which were never made for the purpose of stealing money to alter stuff so that it helps them steal money.

It's like the IEO days. So what is projects were vetted by Binance or Bittrex? They ended up being shit anyway:) A good observation indeed. IEOs used the tagline "we are launching on this exchange" - as if being launched there would mean they are legit and are going to become huge. Some exchanges even started something called "launchpad" - all this "launching" made me laugh hard at the basic lacking in each and every crypto project that is intrinsic market making method or demand. Unless you can create a market for that token where it can be used to deliver some service which no other token can, you are basically doomed in this sector. Audit or no audit, the final product or its implementation does not depend on auditing. Auditing checked out some flaws or possible exploits but that is only one part of a big game.

Bitrefill is a good option for this purpose. They have a big catalogue of services that can be bought with crypto as gift cards which are non-transferable. Not just mobile recharges but also Uber vouchers, shopping store vouchers and many more, I cannot list everything here so check it out. Make sure your country is supported by them, most countries are though. https://www.bitrefill.com/?hl=en

Are there any good video courses on technical analysis for example? Some users have suggested some videos in the above post so I am not going to repeat the same. However me being an old skool person, always prefers to read more than watch. There are old and renowned books on stock market and technical analysis which you can read and get a glimpse of who the system works. I am stressing on reading stuff related to stock market first because a background in the same will help you a lot when entering crypto trading. Most crypto youtube channels are going to shill altcoins, not bitcoin - so you need to be immune to that koolaid. Other than that, try dummy trading at home and see how it goes. Remember that you can still make money without doing TA if you are going for a long term hodl. Watch the charts and buy at low - sell at high in a few years.

They are trying to encash the hype that BNB has created all this while. If we check the BNB charts then during the bear season before this year and early this year, we will see how nicely BNB was increasing in price, notable moving from 10$/BNB to 20$/BNB and further. People used to speculate this to be a hyip/ponzi going on but that is a different story altogether.
Whether the original project of BNB was a hyip in disguise or not remains questioned because it was done by Binance, these guys come up with yet another method to use that hype and start a new scam.
I hope any bamboozled shill reading this will understand that the accusation is legitimate and possibly a scam and they should be careful where they are putting their money in.

DeFi Hype season, anything can think of after. No need to know the project background and its potential in detail. As long as people talked about it a lot, the defi project would definitely produce results. Anyone can assume that of the many people who are enthusiastic about a defi project, some of them must have done research.
A lot of unscrupulous PR goes into it too. Nobody to regulate it or put up fines on companies for predatory tactics unlike in the fiat based system. It has been one of the bad things in this sector but you can avoid it if you are keeping your focus only on bitcoin and no other shitcoin and follow this policy strictly. But for those who are looking to make some quick cash they will go for shady projects like all the DeFi projects coming up and thus hype it all up to a point where they can sell and exit the scheme nicely and the newer investors are stuck. The only way to end this is to stop going for anything that gets hyped.

I think copy trading is one of the coolest things that will be found on a trading platform/exchange, because it’s not easy for some of us who already had works that we are doing and are interested in trading cryptocurrencies, but since we are very busy we can’t do it. If I divide day trading and long term hold as two ends of the spectrum, for the second group being busy with work will not affect much since they are doing it for the long term and they will mostly be buying only at the lows. For the first group or daytraders, it would be more like a day job for them otherwise it is impossible to run the thing. However, copy trading does not mean you are doing either, maybe some what close to daytrading but a non-logical one. Read on. Although I know some people who prefers to hire managers to trade for them, for me I think it’s best that you create an account on one of those exchanges that will allow you to copy trade and that way you will know that you’re still in charge of your money and everything, all you have to do is just choose one good trader to be copying after you have gone through their history. Hiring a manager for trades is a different thing. Also you wont get a trader who always makes profits. Just manage your money on your own - all the "financial advisors" are nothing but shills for altcoins which are going to worthless and useless anyway. Most copy trading platforms are no different than bots running algorithms for trading. You will be ripped off your money if you go down that route.

More investors are even interested in bitcoin despite of the current pandemic. No. This is a wrong concept being common in this forum because this is a bitcoin forum. People in the pandemic needed liquid money and thus liquidated a number of assets, Not venture into more sectors. Use your logic and think of the situation and you will also understand. Now why this concept is common here, because people here are always going to bullish on bitcoin. Fact is being bullish is not wrong but being blind without logic is fatal - let that not happen to you too. A lot of people lost their jobs in the crisis, you cant expect them to go around buying some shitcoins or even bitcoin with the last few reserves they have, at least in a country where bitcoin is not even recognized well. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

That's not it! blaming the hunter was incorrect when the project failed. But i think the problem will be with the BM and project team, because BM is the person who will be responsible for the process of bringing the project to the hunter, if the project is scam then part of the responsibility. The manager is also not responsible. The team is the only group who could be held responsible but even they are not accountable since this is not a legally traded security. These projects are thus having all the possibility of going exit scam or just fail because you cannot sue them on any legal grounds. This problem of non-legal securities with ICOs DeFi tokens has been well debated over and over and the consensus is that people who are taking part in them either by investing their money (investors) or investing their time/work (bounty hunters) are only responsible for their own losses. There is nothing criminal to this on the hunters. They are taking a risk and they have their own self to blame if they waste it.

Why are they offering this much to clients instead of about earn themselves? HAHA Old tricks using again and again.
Old tricks but it works on every newbie you encounter on the internet. Broke people everywhere willing to put in money and get rich quick without questioning themselves about the legitimacy of such schemes is the reason why these scams get propagated time and again. At least the users of this forum are diligent enough to not give any importance to such nonsense and warn others not to entertain them. So good catch by the OP, but as we can see, the domain is new and more such domains open up every day and sold off to the scammers bidding for them who will use them for deceiving others.

@Rikafip There might be a link between the two but my guess would be someone trying to use the name to spread an SEO coverage for these links. Probably something similar like what happened with Yearn and scams that happened after it but following its name. Seriously though these stock images make it look like alpha-male fashion dudes to be team members which makes them a laughing stock, talk about crypto startups. Who in the world keeps their name "Silver Fang" ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) But still some people will fall for that, hopefully not if they find this thread.

Perhaps, the biggest threat to Bitcoin is governments around the world. Because when Bitcoin prices so high and it attracts more and more investors to join and transact through government banks can using laws to limit or prohibit Bitcoin. I don't like this situation.
We think like that because that is what is the problem to us as bitcoin users. But think deeply is that everything that is holding back bitcoin from mainstream coverage in a more positive approach? I think there are bigger institutions that have seen potential in bitcoin and thus demeaning it in order to stock up their own stashes of bitcoin, so that in future when price rises they make a profit. Many banking institutions have also incorporated blockchain technology into their software and services. With this, I believe the future is bright for bitcoin. If things become better governments might also become lenient about crypto.

if all bounty managers are going to unite and make it a requirement that will be good for both bounty hunters and bounty managers. I mean like who does not want that? But making up such a "guild" is very difficult to maintain a clean cult and there will be others willing to work solo. As you know being a part of a group means someone is going to be like a leading manager there and others will complain that they are taking up all the work. It is possible, though only hypothetical for now. Previously Lauda,yahoo,Lutpin tried to grow such a system but those days are long over now. Still the well known managers are following suit. we have so many projects using fake accounts coming from photo sharing sites, some of them are even using fake people with fake credentials, they get random people on social media, promising big payment just to use their profile, if they have that requirement scamming will be minimized You forgot about some specific country managers who keep on complaining about "predatory" tactics by other managers? Its baseless and false but there was a thread in "Reputation" about it a couple of months back. It is strange how childish these "professional" people can become instead of focusing on their work.

I have searched a lot. And also watched many videos but still didn't get any legit VIP Signals group. Stop watching those videos. You are giving them free view counts for nothing. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Some are those which are asking for the fee. I want to submit the fee but afraid they will grab and will not give the correct signals. Your inner feeling is correct. These are disguised scams. They will take your money and simply run away or they could give you some "signals" but they are not actually basing that on any studies but random stuff that they can say so that they get the money. Want help If there is anyone who knows any good crypto VIP signals group. So please share. Maybe you are new to these things, let me tell you there is nothing like a legitimate signals groups. All of them, I repeat "All" of them are scams. You will get ripped off for some bunch of fake signals and then may or may not get a profit. But people go for them because they are lazy enough to not do their own TA and studies before trading. TA is not essential if you are going for a long term hold but good if you are day trading. They are fools and thus separated from their money quickly. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

This "francis" guy is well known on the Stake community to be a scammer for several years now. Not sure if you are new to Stake but probably you stayed off the drama chats and thus never came to know about it.
Of course this is a scam, remember that making an account on stake is free and upgrading that account to higher VIP statuses takes wagering to reach so this creates the demand/supply for aged accounts just like older members accounts on this forum and others.
But the team behind Stake is very cautious about stolen accounts and so and thus you only risk your money if the person saying so is legit and trying to sell it. Either way you will be at risk.
Be careful of such PMs and it is best to block them without even wasting a single moment over it.

I have used both bookies and none of the mentioned gambling websites are able to cover my needs as a professional service. The Stake has the lowest odds and the house edge per bet is higher compared to the alternative betting websites. Scam accusations are solved by the Stake team but the same is not true for Nitrogen, AFAIK. Maybe this is the main reason why the popularity of Pinnacle increases every year among high rollers.
See the OP here is biased about their own decisions. They have used NS previously, did not like them and moved on to Stake. That does not mean that NS is bad and Stake is good - totally incorrect. This is a personal choice based on many factors and one does not make the verdict. What will suit your playing habit, withdrawal delays, support issues will depend on your experience and thus making up your mind before using the site is a wrong approach. Every gambler willing to take their chances should use more than one bookie to play on. Stake is still new in the sports betting department while NS is older in sports betting.

As long as humans are trading the markets, emotions will be involved. Bots have become very much prevalent in the markets now. Support and resistances are in fact areas of interest where , in the past, have been accompanied by a lot of buying/selling pressure. Essentially making these points worth keeping note of. A diligent trader would not swipe away the possibility that an older support level can still be active after several years and place buy orders around that to buy before the bull pump occurs from that level. This can be tricky but this is the calculated guessing behind placing of orders. I don't see why would this indicator won't work in any kind of market. These are not indicators but levels that have been historically known.

The bottom line is that I am a poor student with a small dream that requires an investment of money and time. Your dream needs investment? Are you aiming for some entrepreneur like thing? I would suggest you to re-think your current position and focus on more studies and the mainstream market instead of crypto. And it is very difficult to earn money during a pandemic and with living conditions in the village-like city. But your "village" still has access to internet and electronic devices otherwise you would not be posting here. So I guess you can take in the forums campaigns that pay in bitcoin. So I have a question. Is it realistic to make money on bounties and airdrops at the moment? How long will it take me, with my current status on forum, the lack of a three-digit number of subscribers on social networks and other experience. If possible, I would be very grateful for any advice, because I have no experience other than participating in airdrops in 2017. Honestly speaking, No. You would be wasting time on them more than you can spend time to work on your studies and skills. Bounties were good at one time back in 2017 and now they are nothing but shitcoins, failed teams forcing people to submit KYCs and plain scams being propagated like wildfire. Its a vicious cycle of despair and frustration and trust me as a student you will not want to become a part of this. What you can do is go for the bitcoin paying signature campaigns. They will be worth your time.

I'm currently starting a business with my wife ( selling some local bags - enough to be considered as Good Quality ) First of all good luck in this new venture, hope it sustains and becomes successful in future both locally and on the forum. My question is, aside from my Local Thread, I want to start business with having transactions via foreign money so where can I post it? If accepting fiat, then this forum's "Goods" would not be the right place for this. Bitcoin and altcoins as payment should be the way to go here. If you think bitcoin fees are being high and making your customers move away, accept altcoins for the time being. What my suggestion is that you should accept fiat in the facebook page, because that follows the order (facebook and fiat ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) ) and Bitcoin for customers from the forum. Make sure to get some more social media pages opened too, they are the basis of today's marketing.

I would give a lot of importance to craze and hype that surrounds all these names. One project doing good leads to a lot of similar projects coming up but the truth is that they are copying and less likely to get anything good in terms of development. But what they get is fundraising and many investors will join in to support the next project with a similar name because they care about the way to make money and not the long term goal. So they join the hype even if their contract is unaudited which would mean possible bugs and exploits still exist. Or it could be a reverse scamming method used by the owners to raise money and then hack their own code and show that they have been robbed. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) You cant trust anybody. In fact other than bitcoin, everything else in this sector is a short term gain vision. Long term has gone back to traditional markets where you have legit companies running legit projects at least making some real earnings.
