4801  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The most searched cryptocurrencies on Google on: July 19, 2020, 02:12:55 AM
Hello, according to the website: blockchaincenter.net, these cryptocurrencies are most searched among cryptocurrencies:
1.  Bitcoin (80,8%)
2. Ethereum (14%)
3. XRP (8%) followed by Litecoin (4,7%), Bitcoin Cash (2,7%), IOTA (2,5%), Monero (2,1%), Tron (1,8%), Dogecoin (1,8%) and Cardano (1,5%).

They processed information based on Google Trends.

When you compare it with the market cap, then where is Bitcoin Satoshi Vision, EOS or Binance Coin?  Shocked

It is expected and undoubtedly that would be the result because those were also the most popular cryptocurrencies to people who uses cryptocurrency and even for those who not. It is not a surprise that Bitcoin is on the top spot because people are really much aware that it is the most popular cryptocurrency most specially for people who have been starting to engage into the crypto industry due to the reason that maybe they are influenced by close friends and the first crypto introduced to them is Bitcoin.

Maybe the reason why those cryptocurrencies you have mentioned are not on the top most searched crypto is maybe people still doesn't know about it or they are not much pretty interested on those because knowing people, they just go with the flow of the trend that's why they only search and wanted to know about what most people are curious about.

What makes a bounty manager better? It's not about the success of the projects they introduce, it's about

1. How the handle the campaign
2. It's about fulfilling what was promised to bounty hunters
3. It's about fighting the fair fights for bounty hunters

The success of a bounty project is not in the hand of a bounty manager, the ball is in your courts, you are responsible for the bounty projects you choose, if they fail it's never bounty managers fault. Always remember this.

That was sincerely agreeable and I think this will end up the issue roaming around about some people blaming bounty managers whenever a campaign fails. The job the bounty manager accepted is to maintain the organization of the whole promotion process. The fate of the campaign relies on the team behind the project and the effort of the participants to promote the project which can lead it to the success.

It is indeed that bounty managers have a very good reputation that becomes one of the factor why people choose to get into that project but they have no control on what will be the outcome of the project. Also, at the first place, no one forces you to join the project he manages and it is also your job as a participant to check the background of the project. Your own choice and your own will brought you into joining the project so no one must be blamed especially the bounty managers who were just working on the task given to them and the reason why they are getting paid off.
4803  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When Bitcoin Must Be Inherited on: July 18, 2020, 10:05:42 PM
I think this is a very good idea, and I hope that someday there will be a crypto exchange and a crypto wallet that provides inherited features, so users will be safe and comfortable.

It is good to think that you can be able to pass your Bitcoin holdings into the next generation as part of your last will or inheritance for them to have a benefit on the future.

There is no really in need of any crypto exchange or wallet that have feature like what you were thinking of because it will just make things complicated. Why in need to do that when you can instantly state it into your family or into the one you have a full trust with. If you are really worry about how you can be able to make your Bitcoins be inherited into your family if ever you already pass away, then you must start educating your family or closest relative about Bitcoin so that they would be educated on how they can have an access into your assets. That would be the best thing to do instead of relying or depending into any exchange. Just left a written or printed note where your private keys or password is in there and let them know where it is once it is really time for them to have it. Just simple as that. With that knowing you have let them know what Bitcoin is and how they can make use into it and how they can access it, you don't have to worry anymore on how can you be able to inherit your Bitcoins to them.
4804  Economy / Economics / Re: Interesting perspective of Investors on: July 18, 2020, 09:24:48 PM
That was really pretty good that at least investors do hold tight into their investments even at this time of pandemic that most people are tempted to sell their assets for the sake of sustaining their necessities to be able to survive this crisis. But keeping or holding into your Bitcoin because the price is still not reaching $10,000? That was just a low expectation and perception because once the price of Bitcoin exceed that price mark, then those investors who have been holding their Bitcoins for a while will surely sell them once and for all.

Also, conducting surveys and polls on social media platform like Twitter seems to be unreliable because that was just a poll where anyone who sees it can participate and it cannot be reliant to support a claim. Better do google surveys to have a better basis of the claim then do a statistical interpretation about what information you have acquired. Doing polls only represent initial answers and it does not merely support a decent fact. Also, there is no such assurance on the range of participants if they are appropriate to become a part of the data gathering.

But all in all, it is good that despite of the crisis, still investors are having a strong hold into their Bitcoins and also other cryptocurrencies for the mean time and that will surely be worth it in the future.
4805  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Isn't this the best time for Bitcoin? on: July 18, 2020, 03:42:49 PM
Even though we are heading towards digitalization brought by our experience this pandemic to keep ourselves away from physical contact to avoid getting infected, still people are not being encourage to pursue adapting into using Bitcoin mainly because there are still lots of ways on how people can easily go cashless like using credit/debit card which is provided by their bank once they apply for it, also there is digital online banking that is accessible to any devices and as well as the usage of many apps where you can link your bank account details to pay for your purchase in cashless manner.

As long as people can do such things I have stated above, people can still have a choice not to get into Bitcoin. But it doesn't mean that there is no open possibility for Bitcoin's best to come. It will soon come but as of the moment, people certainly focus on more accessible things to them because adapting into using Bitcoin is not that instant for you still must consider learning how to use it and know if the place where you belong accept or adapt using it. Just like here in our country wherein we are discouraged to use any cryptocurrencies which makes it no sense for people to get into Bitcoin. Though we are not prohibited, still we are stated to use it on our own risk only by our government. Adaptation and learning must be observe first so people will decide to get into Bitcoin.
4806  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: They say hardware wallets are the safest on: July 18, 2020, 01:28:06 PM
At the perspective of storing offline which is away from potential hackers that spread on the internet, yes using hardware wallet is what we can claim to be the safest wallet compared to the online wallets. Well actually both online and offline wallets can be both safe as long as the owner or holder is responsible enough on storing his/her information and account. It is really nonsense to just depend all on the type of wallet you were currently using if you were not the responsible to take good care of your wallet's information. The safety of the account and wallet starts from its owner and holder. Wallets are tangible and intangible things that has no life so it is really dependent on the owner to take good care of its safety. Whether what wallet you are up to, the safest way you can protect it must start up on you. Whether online or offline (hardware) wallet you are using, it will remain safe if you take good handle on your personal and private information and secure that all things are keep in tack.
4807  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Transaction price Bitcoin on: July 18, 2020, 12:11:25 PM
Today I was amazed at how low the commission was when transferring 0.07 bitcoins. Only 192 sat !!! The transfer took about 10-20 seconds. It's very, very cool. About $ 650 for $ 0.017 - this is something! Bitcoin is the future!

That was really a great news although it was quite sometime when this thread have been started, I hope that the price transaction for Bitcoin is somehow cheap and the transaction will be seamlessly fast to be confirmed. But Bitcoin transaction price do really depend on the exchanger you will be using for they have their own set price for every transaction so maybe someone would do comparison that he have never experienced doing transaction at low price. Well there would be really cases that transaction fee are expensive and cheap depending on the exchange and the amount you are going to do transaction with.

If you do want your transaction to be confirmed easily, then you have to spend a little bit pricey to be able to do that. Though expensive, it is worthy if you are really in an urgent. But low price transaction is good as well but it will take time but still it would be transacted in a moment.
4808  Economy / Economics / Re: China will rule world as economy king after crisis end? on: July 17, 2020, 11:24:24 PM
Certainly, maybe that would be the outcome after this pandemic. But is it really important anymore? I think instead of focusing on who will be the ruler or the king of economy, we must pay attention on how we will manage the recovery of each and every country's economy. On how each and every country will help each other out to do a fast recovery for the sake of its people. No one must be thought to be dominant right after this pandemic because we all know that we have already suffered a lot and what we need to think about is how we can recover from this crisis all together.
4809  Economy / Economics / Re: Biggest winner during COVID? on: July 17, 2020, 10:36:55 PM
I think there is no really big winner at this time of pandemic because all of us are seriously affected by the spread of the virus. Yes, it is indeed that the sales for medical drugs have rise up because people do want to keep themselves immune from any virus as well as purchasing of many alcohols and other related sanitation to somehow get rid from the possibility of acquiring the virus. But that is not quite a point to state that the medical industry are the ones benefiting from this crisis and it is not that right to think of that because we are all into the extent of finding ways to prevent the spread of virus.

Business establishments have been down temporarily and some are permanently because of the community quarantine being implemented to help prevent the spread of virus so even the rich people are affected by this crisis. I think no one have the advantage or the biggest edge at this time for we are all lying on the same spot of crisis. It is just that we are having different experiences during this pandemic depending on our social status but seriously all are affected and no one can be stared as a big winner because of the pandemic.
4810  Economy / Economics / Re: Lives vs Economy -- sad truth on: July 17, 2020, 09:50:06 PM
There is no priority in saving an individual life -age,social status, background- give a proof if you have one that shows there is, health workers are under oath to save life's and every life matters, the world is concerned about the elderly ones at this pandemic time -although if do the basic things, get regular exercise, eat healthy there immune can be strong-. There are malls/stores in the US that have special shopping times for elderly citizens alone.

A vaccine might never come or might come late, what our defense would be is our immunity,- old or young-.

I agree. There is no such sense of being picky at times like this because every individual's life is important so no one must be left behind and all must be given a medical attention and care equally. Maybe the OP is just seeing the wrong side of the situation because health care workers are struggling on how to handle massive number of patients that is why not all are given medical attention that urgent but they are making their best to serve the people because once they have missed out one individual, the rest could also get infected and that would be another great problem to face.

Life and death is a normal scenario in a person but dealing on how to keep a person alive is a challenge that every medical practitioners do to save lives at the extent of what they can do. It is just that the ratio of the medical health care workers are not appropriate to be given medical attention that easily. Actually we must salute all of them for risking their lives just the sake of other people's life even the cost of it is their own lives. It is not about economical status or background, it is a fight that we are all facing right now and we must handle it all together not to think what status in life we have.
4811  Economy / Economics / Re: Maintaining safety measures after pandemic for human -economical- resources on: July 17, 2020, 09:12:16 PM
It is really in need that even right after this pandemic (once the vaccine have already been discovered), it is a must that we still focus into the safety of the human resource because humans as we all must know is the main resource that a country must maintain for we humans are the wealth of our nation since we are the ones making the way to do innovative success that uplifts our economic development towards a better future.

It is a must thing to take good care of the human resource even after this pandemic since we have already learned a lesson how important health care is for the humans since we will never know that another pandemic may arise in no time because like humans, viruses that bring serious diseases do also evolve so what we need to focus is not just the economical growth but as well as the improvement of health care facilities and equipments for the sake of the human lives.

Maintaining safety measures even right after this pandemic would really be a great help just to make assurance that our safety and immunization will not be compromised to keep ourselves healthy away from the threat of other viruses in our surrounding.
4812  Economy / Economics / Re: The unfortunate event that is Quarantine. on: July 17, 2020, 08:18:06 PM
It is indeed. The implementation of the community quarantine that is said to be somehow the solution to prevent the spread of virus turns out to be a suffering situation most specially for the people lying on the low class of the society because they were the ones who are directly affected by this implementation because of the community quarantine, they temporarily to permanently loss their jobs since many business establishments as we as public transportation have been temporarily stop causing people to just stay at home doing nothing and earning nothing which leads shortage of food for the poor and of course money for them to spend for daily lives while the quarantine is still on.

It is not enough to say that during this quarantine they are getting assistance from the government s they won't be left behind. That was totally wrong. I have witnessed many people are already complaining that the assistance from the government is not enough to sustain their needs because funds set by the government are being equally distributed to TOO MANY people and what do you expect will happen? Of course it wouldn't be enough to last for days. This quarantine is a safe haven to let ourselves away from the spread of virus but a living hell because we are suffering from being jobless and there is nothing we could do about it as of the moment.
4813  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto success takes time on: July 17, 2020, 03:24:44 PM
Well, there is a point on saying that because everything do really takes time to grow before getting into success but with regards to crypto you cannot blame people to always do complain on certain projects because each and every project being launched have their own roadmap where the progress and goals have been set and that must be followed unless there is a certain adjustment done ahead of time. It s indeed that there are coins who still progress even after the project promotion which is already affected by external factors.

You cannot blame people from getting too impatient on waiting because they were just concerned and afraid that maybe they have gotten into a scam project and for them fast progress is an assurance that they are on a right track. Also, people specially nowadays are more to thinking of what they can gain more than what the progress of the project will be. They were just focusing on to the rewards mainly and not the project itself.
4814  Other / Off-topic / Re: The New Normal on: July 17, 2020, 02:18:22 PM
Some experts said that its impossible for us to go back to our normal lives, while this severe Pandemic is not over yet. And that we need to deal with this so-called "New Normal".
We tend to do studies, works and even businesses at home and other transactions virtually with the help of modern technology and the internet.
Being fully into digital world now, does it also help reviving the Country's economy that fast?
How do you cope up with this new normal set up?


The new normal set up is the only way possible as of now to let us move forward into our daily lives while the pandemic is still on and while there is still no proven cure to end this crisis up. The new normal set up is somewhat like an amendment into our daily life situation because there are certain rules or measures that are needed to be followed which concern the prevention of the spread of virus while doing necessary things to still keep being productive while protecting ourselves from the virus.

The new normal set up as of the moment will not be an assurance that the country's economy will move up so fast or get to an instant recovery because at this current set up, everything is under limitation which is not on a maximal point compared to the old one. So the point of having the new normal set up is to keep up the slow opening of the economy to undergo a slow process of recovery to lessen the negative effects of pandemic which includes economic declination and food shortage due to months of quarantine.

It would be a challenge to everyone to cope up that easy with the new normal set up most specially that we are leaning or relying into digitalization but it is a must thing to do so that we can still live normally but on a different approach while the pandemic is still not yet resolved.
4815  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Tell me a reason why I should use online wallet. on: July 14, 2020, 02:54:14 PM
The only thing that I see why you should use an online wallet is for faster transaction. Easy as that, me personally, have an online and cold wallet, cold wallet is for long term storing and online is for my daily bitcoin transactions. Those two have a different purpose for me and you should not hate online cause it is less secured than cold/offline wallet. Use online for faster transaction or less hassle and always store a small amount of money there.  Wink
4816  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: trade & investment is getting harder and harder. on: July 14, 2020, 01:53:03 PM
Trade and investment is getting more harder because there are so many scam that is happening in the crypto feild now a days, scams are everywhere and the trust in crypto is getting or becoming smaller this time. I believe that it is really hard to invest specially on some ICO because there are some ico that is scam and it is surely a great loss if we invest into it , so before we invest in crypto we need to search everything to avoid lossing of funds.

That is another thing, LOL. scams are always there and anyone with little crypto experience is going to determine if that is a scam or not. The main thing that making the market harder I think is the stability of it and the reading of it, (for me). Considering that the news about bitcoin is declining so, the market itself is going to be harder to ready, pumps and dumps are going to cause by whales without news. That's what I think, of today's scenario.
4817  Economy / Economics / Re: What is the cause of economy rise and fall. on: July 13, 2020, 11:27:39 PM
Some countries economy are constant and some economy rise and fall, from my understanding I suggest that is because of government,and population of the country. What is your suggestion

The point is right. The state of the economy really depends on the people and the government. The ones who are responsible on what will be the economic state are those two since they are the ones composing the country. A good leadership will surely be followed by its people so it is in need a good leader in the government to be able to make people work to make the economy wealthy. But it must not be just the effort of the government because they were just the ones who were making and implementing the measures that can possibly make opportunities for its people to let them be productive. If the people are not cooperative, then the effort of the government to lead the country's economic state to the top will be nonsense because no man power will be working out to make such thing possible.

In short, it is in need for both people and the government to be cooperative with each other to make the economy rise. But there are also other factors that can affect the rise and fall of an economy and that is based on the capacity and capability of the country's resources because if the resources are limited, then a country's economy will be dependent on other country which will be beneficial to other one that is why it is essential for a country to be part of an alliance or simple the United Nations that will lift each other's up and in that case, the governments of each country are working on it.
4818  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Back then and Now, lesson learnt on: July 13, 2020, 10:47:48 PM
I don't know if some newbies are still doing this today, if you are you'd better stop right now. Many new coins can be easily mined through a single CPU or GPU but 90% of them are trash coins, you need to understand how important use cases are.

In the old days, three to four years back I was so obsessed with new coins simply because they are easy to acquire, mining them is easy and difficulty are low, this got me blind so I started mining coins without getting into good research first, I ended up with coins like

1. MarketCash
2. NiobioCash
3. Worktips
4. Spotme
5. Gadcoin

And so on.....
These coins are all dead or useless right now, few are trading back then but I was too dump to sell and buy better coins.

Today I asked myself why did I do that back then, I guess it's because I never knew the difference of high quality projects and why some coins make it to top 100, If you are reading this make this your targets

The importance of real use case


Well, it seems like you have done that years before and maybe you were just a newbie way back then. Then, what you have done was just a normal initiative for a newbie that wanted to explore the whole cryptocurrency world. Many are doing mining those coins that are really easy to acquire thinking that earning lots of coins can make them have a lot of capabilities to earn more income by doing such thing. That is when the hype of projects are still which might be on year 2017 to 2018. Well, having such an experience is just fine because we do learn from every single thing we have in the past and apply it into the current situation we have. At least you have learned the importance of every coin you were earning and lead you to conclusion that not because it is easy to be mined, income will be easy to come. This will just really come into realization of what you have done before might be right or wrong but then at least whatever it is, you have learn already what is the best thing to do. There is always a lesson for every single thing we do because what we experience can be something to be treasured.
4819  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: All hope is lost?? on: July 13, 2020, 06:06:24 PM
I used to have 14 ethereum but I got caught in the web of FOMO and I lost over 10 ethereum because the project I invested the ethereum on have dropped marginally, is this the end of the road for me? Or I still have hope? How can I recover?

It was really an awful experience to lost more than half of your Ethereum and it will surely feel bad on your part for experiencing that. But it will never be the end for you as long as you are still willing to work on earning Ethereum or any other cryptocurrencies you do want. It will take time but still it will be worth it. Experiencing lost is a part of every crypto users journey because admit it or not, we all do have experience like that because there is no such perfect trade or investment specially when you were just starting. It will be some sort of trial and errors and with that experience you would grow up as an individual and could be better since you have gone through that experience so you will already know what to do once you have come up into the same situation again.

It will never be an end for you as long as you will not give up pursuing your goal with crypto. Also, always remember to invest only amounts you can afford to loose. Imagine 10 Ethereum have been lost in just one investment you have done. If you are not sure of anything, just give it a try first with small amount so that whatever happens, it would be fine because what you have spent is just a small portion of your total earnings.
4820  Economy / Economics / Re: How long will it take banks to phase out physical cash completely? on: July 13, 2020, 05:29:22 PM

Now the real question is, how long will it take banks to start the transition from physical to digital cash (CBDC)? Do you think that physical cash will still be used right after governments adopt CBDCs in their entirety? Or will it take decades before every single person in the world stops transacting with physical cash, paving the way for a full-fledged cashless society? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Smiley

It depends on the country on how long will it take for the banks to phase out fiat or paper money because it will still be dependent on the decision of the government and the ability and capability of the country together with its people to adapt on getting into a cashless society on which people will be just using cryptocurrencies, credit/debit card or digital banking to be used as way of doing payment and other related transactions.

It will be a real challenge for the countries to adapt on getting into a digital economy because not everyone on its people can keep up following the trend just like the poor country where I came from that people will be choosing physical money more than digital money for they want tangible things rather than intangible ones.

It would be easy to shift from physical money to digital cash if the people can keep up on getting into that situation. But since not everyone are capable on doing that, it would really take time like years before a successful shifting would be done once everyone agrees on it and once everyone are ready to adapt on it.
