Right, there are lots of possibilities that ETH may rise up since there's updates that the project will offer, we don't know how things
will proceed and what will be the next ETH value but to those who are still supporting this project there's always positive outcome
for both long and short term investors.

The current value still good and far from what falling to $80 even there's  pandemic virus that still ongoing.

I feel like that the forum did merits to get quality post. And the main reason is to limit the amount of people on that rank. Without those merits people can easily become a Hero member in a few months. But because of merits they have to make quality post rather than making average post and getting the same out come. So I feel like trading merits is not ideal maybe even illegal. Because what's the point of selling merits if you will not earn it again?

I don't think so, I've seen a lot of fighters who are beaten many times already but they are still fighting, of course if Wilder will lose, although he lose twice but it's just from one fighter only, and he can still fight another boxer that could still generate money for him. Boxing is more on because of money, not because of ego, or whatsoever, these guys are living a different lifestyle than the normal people, so they need money for that which they can only get when they will keep fighting. Wilder at 34 years, he still have a lot of fights left even if he lose against Fury.

The rest of your statement, I agree with it.

I want to try a new altcoin to fill my exchange wallet which might give me a new trading experience.
Is it more worth considering trading in altcoins listed on the exchange through a voting program rather than independently?

I see lately that these types of altcoins is more able to survive and recover its price after falling than coins that are listed independently, can even surpass new altcoins in the top exchanges. Although I know that many voting sites can be manipulated, but I don't think it will beat the number of the original supporters. What do you think? What is the worst side of the voting program that I need to know about?

from my 3 years of Bitcoin experience, I can say that you can only predict but nothing can be surely said in Bitcoin. because anything can be happened at any time in BTC market. if you are enough skilled about trading signals and indicator then your predictions may be matched, but no one can identify surly the pumping or dumping moment, but I hope in this year we may see a massive increase in BTC market. I think if we able to recover out of from coronavirus pandemic then we may see another ATH in this year.

After Bitcoin Halving there's really nothing you need to do after the halving. The bitcoins in your wallet or at an exchange will remain just as safe as they were before the halving

There are those that prefer to use fundamentals and the news to try to predict the movements of different assets in the market, however that is extremely time consuming and there is not a single source from which you can get that information and even more importantly even with all of that information it is impossible to know how much the price price will move in either direction, as such I prefer to save myself the trouble and only take a look at the charts, I follow a strategy of my own design that I have tested because I do not really trust on the countless strategies you can find online about how to make money on the markets.

950%? I think you miscalculated it mate.
On March 1, 2020, Zil's price was $.006148. Today, June 16, 2020, the price is $0.025050. That's around 400%. (CMIIW)
But that's still a huge gain, lucky are those who didn't miss the boat.

I remember of a friend who gave up his studies and went all-in on AMP coin (Synereo - if you remember the project). By saying all-in, I don't mean that he invested any money on it but all his time. He worked as a programmer for them and used to earn $300 worth of AMP each month. He did this for at least 3 years, the project did well and he almost became a double millionaire when the spike occurred in markets during 2017 when BTC was $14k and reached $20k. But he kept the coins as it is, didn't sell them when I even advised him to do so and later when the crash happened, the project itself came to an end putting all his work and savings under the grave. So, you need to know when to sell as that's too an important part of trading.

The thing is, all these altcoins were created after Bitcoin and as usual the last will always see the things that are not perfect with the first product and they will try to add more features.

I think that when Bitcoin was being created, the main thing they had in mind was just transaction and they were not really looking more into other features. Even though the transaction is a bit slow than others, there is still nothing wrong with it. Others were able to identify the few faults it had and then used it to perfect their own projects.

This can be real. After each halving bitcoin market showed more than 10x growth every times. So, if we have another stronger rally like how we had in 2017 and 2013, then there could be possibility to reach around $200k as well. Some people already mentioned about bottom to top analysis which showed 100x growth with 2017 rally.

After the ATH of $1200 in 2013, bitcoin prices fell down up to $160 in 2015 and then peaked up to $19,500 in late 2017. In this, we can see prices increased for more than hundred folds if we calculate low to top analysis. If you take top to top analysis then prices moved around 20 times. So, incoming bull rally, if we take top to top, then there could be a possibility to test around $200k levels and if we take bottom to top means then the peak falls around $350 levels.

Often it is not a need that makes the person join and use an exchange. It is compulsion because they own a shitcoin that didnt get listed on a older well known exchange and got listed somewhere less known who again want new users to sign up and thus a low listing fee. That is a a part of the deal that the project owners often do to make sure they can list the coin at the earliest.

The bounty hunters are also taking the risk of using these exchanges and they are being forced to use them in a sense. But it all comes back down to hunting for the worthless coins. If they stop doing that, this useless trail of frustration will stop.

In other words, bitcoin failed to meet your expectations.

The fact that you entirely throw away good facts, it means you are rushing things out.

No need for further technical discussion about this. If you don't want to "trust the process" then it's up to you.

Survival of fittest. No reservations nor no special cases.

How long are you trading? Trading is not really easy, who says it easy? Even professional traders still lose today. It takes several years in building a good trading career.

Ask yourself again, are you really interested in doing trading or you just saw someone get a profit so you did the same without really an interest in how to do it?

If you are really eager to learn, just continue and embrace those losses, and charge that to your experience. While losing, take note of what mistake you did. If you just try trading because of anything else then yes, stop doing trades as you are just increasing the risks of losing your money.

Hi,
 I see that there are 95% dissatisfied airdrop and bounty participants due to low earnings, so lets find something what can be profitable nowadays.
I have googled some earning methods and I have found something similiar to bounty campaigns - MaxBounty website, here you promote real business, but you need real conversions, so it seems like more difficult to earn some money. Do you have some good tips for us how to earn money in a time of crypto crysis?

Thanks!

Most investors who entered this sector did not even know that there were something called bounty hunters and people who took part in them got rewarded by the project owners for their efforts in promoting the project. You dont see it much for an IPO do you? Now the thing is that there is a difference between an equitysale and a tokensale. The latter is not recognized to be a legal security so the hunters are at risk of wasting their time for a shitcoin.

But not only the hunters are to blame, they are like a byproduct of the shitshow that these projects have done to the name of bitcoin.

You are right. But it is very difficult to find a good project. Because a lot of projects have come and are coming in the market which is confusing the investors. And there are many experts and influencers who promote various kinds of useless projects for money. I have seen many such people who are busy with promoting useless projects. So you should not invest in someone's words in the project, you should invest by doing research yourself.

A piece of simple advice is yet very effective in investing. Your choice of project and altcoins to invest will always be a very crucial moment. I don't think that op shall problem investing with the coins that he's asking.
But if ever he's going for a project, he should take your advice seriously.

I stopped to talk about Bitcoin with people IRL, it's a waste of time. I'm tired of hearing people talking nonsense. Just repeating what they heard on TV, without even really understanding what they were talking about on top of that. And when you explain to them the reality to debunk it's like if you are lying. LOL.

From, Bitcoin is the official money of the dark web, only used by criminal, to it has no value, it's dead. You know, the same arguments we were listening to here...
(I know money talks more than a speech) I believe only Bitcoiners know BTC is not only for criminals.
