4601  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Trx or Eth ? on: August 09, 2020, 11:21:53 PM
Both of them have a lot of dapps and they could both go to the sky.
Vitalik and Justin work hard to make their coins better too so i am not sure which one could be better in the future.What do You think about this ?

There's no doubt that ETH has a bright future compare to TRX. I mean they have been in the market for too long that investors have faith in them, just look at its position right now. There was also a time wherein it did challenge bitcoin for the top spot.

As far as TRX, there's a lot of drama around it. Justin is good for being a shill, but it seems that he can't bring the whole TRX team together and he has been accused of manipulating it as well. So his leadership is questionable and it seems that for others, his intention is really to make more money, instead of having a good project. On the contrary, Vitalik is no longer at the helm of ETH, just a nominal figure, but he can still wield a lot of influence and still considered as one of the best visionary/innovator with his ETH project.
4602  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Errol Spence Jr. vs. Danny Garcia IBF & WBC Welterweight Title on: August 09, 2020, 12:19:35 PM
I just like the idea of bisdak40 and goinmerry ... following your tips guys.

Have reviewed the articles about the accident and it seems that it had no serious and career threatening damage physically so i think he is good to go here. He will just to prepare the mental aspect and forget that he had the injury.

And if Spence is affected mentality it will be the right time for Danny Garcia to create an upset in the division to make the welterweight more intriguing with a lot of great and elite fighters. I don't know how Spence can train his mind after the incident, but I do hope that it won't be an excuse.

Although Danny Garcia is already in his 30's, his body is fresh no wear and tear from his previous fights and all of his losses are very close decision. It's really hard to predict, I'm still divided, still 50/50 for me.
4603  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: in any whale or top trader here? on: August 09, 2020, 11:01:57 AM
is any top trader or good whale here??

There could be, but you have to think about it, if you are a whale are you going to stay and play in this forum? Probably checking and stuff, but I doubt it.

i need someone who knows market good that he can tell me when to buy and when to sell.
i can pay but you need to be best and i need also someone who can tell me early before any big pumps might coming.

I'm sorry to burst the bubble for you, but absolutely no one, not even ordinary joes or whales can tell you when to buy and when to sell. And if someone message you to join their pump and dump group, just be careful, because instead of making money here, you could end up getting REKT from joining this group.
4604  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: usdt tether market cap grows from 4,6 billions to 10,800 billions from March on: August 09, 2020, 09:50:03 AM
And if you look at Tether's daily volume, it is on top, with 35% against BTC's 24%.

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/volume/24-hour/

So it doesn't make sense, however, we all know that Tether can print anytime they want but the real question is it real 1:1, seriously doubt it. And because they themselves admitted it already, why are people still trusting them? There are a lot of options right now, as stable coins are also making their way now, so it is better to stay away from Tether, in my opinion, very shady company.

4606  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Grayscale: Net Assets Under Management, $5.7 billion on: August 09, 2020, 08:46:55 AM
As much as we don't like the idea of companies like Grayscale accumulating bitcoin for their clients, I think in the long run it can bring investors who has a deep pocket into bitcoin market, hence this could be very serious and could be good in the long run and could be viewed as a bullish indicator, what angle you look at it.

We always shout that we need more money to flow into the the market to keep the price going and preaching that it could get into another all time high such as $50k or even more. And for me this is one factors that it can be realised when bigger hedge fund companies are entering the picture at the right time. I'm not really sure if they could manipulate the price, but the bigger the market becomes, the harder for one or two companies to do some kind of manipulation.
4607  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin's Next Major Move - Crypto Market Analysis on: August 08, 2020, 10:41:49 PM
I think it will be interesting if the OP will come back and make a follow up predictions.

But obviously, since it is taken from that article, we really know if he is the actual author. Anyways, it seems that $12k is the resistance now, although we touch it barely, it didn't sustain and it will take another round of money to flow again to push the price to $12k and then maintain it. Two different stories, touching it and then maintaining at some point without any selling pressure.
The OP cant do any follow up of the presictions because hes not the actual author of the article and the previous prediction was done base on the stable in price of the market while resistance to dump and logically pump in price should occur.
In the meantime, here is another prediction provided by the site used by OP.

Thanks, and just what I have suspected, LOL.

@Yaunfitda - I absolutely agree with you, that's why we really need to be very careful on following these so called experts, because we all know this is prediction is just a wild and educated guess and it could be a hit or miss.

Anyhow, there is a chance that the obvious resistance is $12k, but this could be break as well. It's just a matter of time and we really don't need to hurry and let the market flow because sooner or later we will reach go there.
4608  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [Scam]: Fake Metamask/clone site on: August 08, 2020, 10:21:27 PM
I don't want to even click on that link, LOL. It is really malicious and what make it works is that it really looks real visually and they have links to fake malicious apps in three browsers which make it really dangerous if you don't check Metamask official site.

So as I rule of thumb, specially for newbies, not get download any apps specially coming from Google Playstore because it has become a haven for scammers and criminals as well. Good catch again by the OP.
4609  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: DeFi - the niche within a niche and incredibly small community on: August 08, 2020, 12:23:20 PM
Most DeFi tokens are concentrated in hands of Top 500 Holders!   https://cointelegraph.com/news/analysis-most-defi-tokens-are-concentrated-in-hands-of-top-500-holders

If that is true, DeFi is like a sandbox game, with a very limited amount of players actually playing. Observing this from outside the crypto bubble it´s concerning that DeFi, while a good idea and worth investing, has such a small holders community.

Could that be a problem in the long run?


I don't think it will be a problem in the long run, on the contrary we may barely scratch the surface of this niche. And I'm sure as time goes by, this market will be huge, just like we have seen already, billion dollars flowing inside the market.

So we may just see the beginning, as I have said this is the beginning and we might see a big growth at the end of the year and there will be a lot of holders for sure. Although we may seeing what the future holds, similar to IEO of 2017, it is forming a big bubble now.
4610  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: {Warning}: Fake Coinbase website on: August 08, 2020, 12:00:17 PM
I think we need a sticky thread on this board to inform newcomers about false and malicious ads. There are too many out there for all to be spotted - there were a few "how to avoid phishing websites" threads popping up here every now and then and I guess a thread to cover most, if not all, ways to avoid them is much better and more helpful than 1 thread for each false site/app.
Actually, there is a huge list of scam website created by @examplens but it was last updated 2 month ago.
[1] [SCAM ALERT] List 220+ scam websites (Updated 01.June)

I wonder if reporting these website to google are really effective or it's just a waste of time. I have read an old post that these reported sites still remain on google search.

I don't think it's a waste of time, it's better to report them so that Google will take notice, otherwise they won't block the site on their platform.

The problem is that they are really slow in reacting to such reports, unless the reports coming are many and maybe they will take actions about it.

I reported it to Google/Namecheap, let's see how it goes.
4611  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: CHALLENGES FACED BY ASPIRING CRYPTO TRADERS on: August 08, 2020, 11:26:10 AM
You may want to open an account to E-toro for a demo account:

https://go.etoro.com/en/practice-account

And then you practice how trading works, if you become comfortable then try as little as $100 and see how it goes. Everyone here started with 0 knowledge and perhaps lost a lot of money along the way, but they persisted and continue. Remember that this is journey, and don't think it as get rich scheme.

There's no such thing as mentoring, and I doubt that someone successful will share their 'secret' trading practice.
4612  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why do exchanges get away with faking trade volume? on: August 08, 2020, 11:06:48 AM
Does anyone else agree that it's way too easy to open an exchange nowadays, you just assemble a team and buy some trading platform software from a third party and set up your site, compliance be damned.

Compliance to who? but I would agree that it is very easy because no one will audit your trading platform.

And then some of them do things like listing scamcoins that can be predicted to become worthless, ripping off investors. If a stock were to do this, their owners would go to jail.

And as much as we hate this fraudulent practice, this is open and free market. No central authority to manage this exchanges.

And then other exchanges blatantly misreport their trading volume as much higher than it actually is. If a regulated forex platform would to do this, they would be heavily fined.

Sure forex has their own share of scam platforms but in my opinion it is way too easy to set up an crypto exchange without worrying about the legal aspects. There should be more scrutiny and regulation around exchanges.

Again, still boils down to crypto being unregulated. And there are people who are going to exploit it as there are no regulations and it is based on "trust". So the best weapon is to really check out the exchange that you want to use.

And there is this website: https://www.bti.live/. You can used it as a reference.

4614  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Those initial exchange offering (IEO) reduce opportunities for bounty hunters? on: August 07, 2020, 11:17:56 PM
Will the current hype & acceptance of the initial exchange offering (IEO) over the erstwhile initial coin offering (ICO) affect the opportunities for bounty  hunters?

What do you mean affect the opportunities for bounty hunters? There will be plenty of opportunities, don't you worry and I don't think it will slow down a bit.

Can a project on initial exchange offering (IEO) still fail or exploit people?

Yes, IEO can still fail because the market is free and there will be competitions and we have want we wall life cycles of a project, and after the initial hype, the project will simply die down, regardless if it is an IEO or ICO. As far as exploitation? I will be honest with you, as long as there are bounty hunters willing to accept measly payment, then there will be projects that are going to pop up and make use of bounty hunters.
4615  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: what new coins are promising? on: August 07, 2020, 12:15:38 PM
Hard to say which new coins are going to make it big in the future. If you really wanted to DYOR, I will advise you to look for Defi, it's the latest trend today, and there are a lot of hype around it. But like always, you really need to be very careful, and I'm sure you already know all of this since you have been in here since 2017.

With that said, it's really very difficult to ask for financial advise here, never mind the two weeks that you are going to spend researching, instead of listening to others here who are just going to shill for their cryptos. And I'm sure its going to be worth something big if you yourself will do the digging.
4616  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: SEC looking for more tools to track crypto on: August 07, 2020, 11:48:06 AM
This is nothing out of the ordinary, crypto is easily trackable and there are plenty of companies out there providing tools for that. Even mixers can be decoded and funds traced. This is the thing that many dont understand, they have this fantasy that crypto is anonymous and not traceable but in reality most of the time it is much easier to track crypto than bank transfers.

Yes, there are other companies providing that tool, but if you read the link, it seems that they are looking to have their own tool, for whatever reasons it is. But we all know that as crypto enthusiast, they want to trace everything.

It's going to be difficult to track if you just put your assets in let's say a bitcoin wallet. There's no way that you can trace it if it is not going to be moved in a centralised exchange.

And I still remember this: Thinking of adding 'Blockchain' to your company name? SEC is watching you
4617  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Basic things that you need to know before starting in trading on: August 07, 2020, 11:23:53 AM
"Trading is not an Aladdin's lamp that will make someone a millionaire one day."

This is so true, many newbies tend to go to trading because they think that they can suddenly make huge amount of money, the get rich scheme mentality. And then complain later that they have lost so much money in this market and blame everyone except themselves.

So as a beginners, it's really a must to understand this simply and basic principles of trading, specially crypto because it behaves very differently as compare to other traditional markets.
4618  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Goldman Sachs are eyeing to create their own digital asset! on: August 07, 2020, 10:53:55 AM
I doubt that this will be a threat to bitcoin though, even Russian's biggest bank are also eyeing their own stable coin.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/russias-biggest-bank-hypothesizes-its-crypto-token

So we shouldn't surprised by the move coming from Goldman&Sachs. And just like any other government or banks that has it's crypto, they are simply experimenting on it. If something comes out every positive about it, then for sure those tokens are going to stay. But I'm seeing it as something that will disrupt bitcoin or the whole crypto in general. They have different purposes, and so we can exist exclusively without hurting the other market.
4619  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Google Advertises Uniswap Phishing Scams on: August 07, 2020, 10:25:50 AM
It's no longer appearing on my end, so maybe Google has taken this Uniswap phishing hiding on as ads on their platform.

So it will be a continuous mouse and game for us, criminals create malicious ads, we crypto enthusiasts saw it, report it to Google so that it will be taken down immediately. So I advise everyone to be very vigilant in fighting those cyber criminals. Reporting will only take a few minutes of our time, and it can save hundred of noobs out there.
4620  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ethereum transection error on: August 07, 2020, 09:43:09 AM
You can read everything here: Checking or Replacing a Transaction After it’s Been Sent.

This is pretty much the state of Ethereum network right now, although there are reports that the network traffic has subsided already. So before sending any transaction, check the state of the mempool and how much gas is needed to use so that you won't wait for a long time, specially if you are in a hurry.
