Sell your coins while you can, price is almost certain to correct downwards by at least 50% over next few months.
You must be new to all this if you think that this is beginning of a huge dump. Absolutely nothing special happened now other than a healthy correction which was bound to happen sooner or later. Unless you really know what you are doing, best is too jeep holding bitcoin because chances are that you will end up with less bitcoin than you have now if you decide to sell now and buy back again. Instead, just keep holding and not to worry about this. |

One suggestion: since there are so many of the those scamming sites selling mining equipment and they are not adversiting here, you might wanna consider making some sort of thread where you can compile all of them instead making bunch of separate threads.
By the way, keep on the good work as this might save someone from loosing his hard earned money if he decides too Google before buying blindly.

If you think that's it is impossible for a new member to get merit and rise through the ranks, just check The future of Bitcointalk: Low Ranking Top Merit earners in the past 30 days and you will find bunch of low rank members getting pretty decent amount of merit month after month. You still being a Member rank even though you created account years ago has to do with you writing mostly in altcoin section and being inactive for almost tow and a half years (from August 2018 up until now). Be active and write outside of altcoin section and you will eventually rank up. Currently there are more merits available than there are good new members so if you are at least decent poster, others will reward it. |

The last three wallets that were still available on Google play have been removed (Mycelium, Jaxx Liberty and Coinbase) and marked appropriately, but we didn;t have to wait long for another fake wallet to appear, this time Atomic. Wallet has been created two weeks ago and luckily doesn't have too many downloads and it seems like they didn't hire someone to write fake reviews. Please take a minute of your time to report the app, as it may make Google to remove app faster and save somoene from loosing his hard earned money. Link to the fake wallet https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=wallet.btceth.atomic |

Is the market has turned bearish, or it is just the regular price correction.
Come on, one small dip and we are suddenly in the bear market? Hell, even if BTC dropped back to 20k I wouldn't think that trend reversed and that we are suddenly now in the bear market, let alone this. Fact that BTC went up fast after this dip tells me that this is nothing to be worried about and we can expect attack on new all time high soon. |

Three new scams have been added to this evergrowing list of scams exposed, reaching the number of 136. It might be just my idea and impression, but I think that despite initial boom and still ongoing hype that surrounds them, DeFi scams started avoiding bitcointalk as scammers figured out that their nonsense won't pass unnoticed by forum's scambusters so I guess they are advertising somewhere else where they can do it freely. What we are left are mostly ponzies that are still very popular and probably will be as bitcoin keeps reaching new all time high, bringing greedy newbie investors who won't think twice whether 100% ROI on the monthly basis makes any sense at all.

The only problem in altcoin section is the bounty managers doesn't have standards since many company select those cheap bounty managers(Not all but almost) and they didn't do their the job nicely.If the merit system will be strictly implement by Bounty managers upon selecting their participants on altcoin bounty section for sure the spamming will decrease.
Since BTC signature campaign managers had to lower the standards in order to fill the signature campaign, imagine what would happen if bounty managers have any standards when they choose the participants. They might as well stop them. There are simply way too many campaigns on this forum to be filled with quality members, and demand exceeds the supply which brings bar lower and lower. I remember the situation just one year ago, when it was much harder to join the campaign and you had to be a very good poster in order to get into one, and now almost every spammer that managed to get few merits found his place in a signature campaign. |

So far I've been way off in my predictions and almost always predicting the lower price than it was, so I'll continue in the same manner and say that topic this year might in the 100,000 USD area. Hopefully I'll be wrong again and BTC goes up way more. But if not, still good as it is means we have time to to acquire more BTC for ourselves money. Win win situation I would say.
To answer your question in the title, I think that people should only sell if they really need the money, otherwise otherwise they hodl is the way to go, no matter what the top will be this year.

An accusation has been made.
But nowhere in that first post @Sparrow96 accused manager for stealing the coins, he accused POOLZ team for denying to pay bounty hunters that changed their wallet address. He even explained that later on, saying that he doesn't blame @Fatemablabla for this, as seen in his post below.
I am also frustrated with poolz team. They removed many users from the final sheet that I gave and made a new sheet. I can’t do anything there. Most shitty project that I managed.
We understand that. It's totally teams decision. But you could not convince them. With DEGO, you successfully handled. The team was also helpful. But Poolz team isn't. So if anyone should be accused it's POOLZ team, not you. In the future, you should escrow the bounty rewards. |

I already watched the movie and I talked about it few days ago in other SilkRoad topic, that means imdb release date is wrong  Not a bad movie to watch especially if you are interested in Bitcoin history, but I think they added to many fantasy elements and they presented Ross character as some kind of lunatic. Release date was not wrong, as always movie leaked few days before that on torrents, but official release was indeed February 19th. I watched it too, and it's kinda meh. As you said, too many fictional things added, but that was kinda expected since this is not documentary. The only good thing about the movie is that some people may dig deeper and check what really happened. Imho, this whole subject deserves much better film, with bigger budget and more serious director. Someone like David Fincher would do much better job, and would fit this perfectly. What we got is essentially made-for-TV low budget film with zero character development. If it shows the main character in a badlight, then surely it has to show Bitcoin in a bad light? You can't be talking about one guy and make him the sort of villain but who uses good tools;)
They didn't really mention bitcoin much so I don't think that will have any impact on people's perception. Maybe if movie was released 5 years ago, but not now when everyone and their grandma knows about bitcoin. |

Even i tried to ask the admin Bebo in PM that it's not good for Small Rabbit's rep and they should do something to save his back. This probably isn't looking good in any way and we are scared whether we'll be paid off for our work or not.  The thing I don't understand is why bounty manager keeps ignoring this thread? If he came and once again explained the situation and that distribution is not up to him (I guess) chances are he wouldn't end up being tagged for this. Why not you guys showing the community power? You spammed for them to get rewards, why now not running an anti-campaign against them by labeling them as a scammer.
Even if you get all bounty hunters on the same page (which I think is impossible) and run anti-campaign, I don't think that will force them to send the tokens. Bounty hunters have very limited reach and Amepay is probably aware of that, and that's why they behave the way they do. Bounty hunters should simply stop joining campaigns where funds are not escrowed, but since that won't happen as there will always be enough of those that are ready to risk, these things will keep happening. |

So why don't you ask your senior brother how he ranked up? If I understood your reply properly, your brother is a Senior Member on Bitcointalk. Unless he only got airdropped merits, he should be able to guide you if the advice the other users mentioned in this thread is not enough. I think that when he said "senior brother" he actually meant any veteran/more experienced member of the forum, and not his own brother. With that being said, I don't think that he is genuinely interested in ranking up as it's been almost 3 weeks since he started this topic and he hasn't been online pretty much since then. My guess is, this is just another merit fishing attempt (and pretty bad one I must say), pretending to be a newbie and asking most generic question possible. That failed, no one gave him merit so he abandoned the account. Rinse and repeat. |

Regarding funds, I don't understand whether it's already in the Manger wallet or not. He reasoned as I mentioned that the transaction fees were high to ship and the team was busy. I see. I just asked as I saw that @SmallRabbit got tagged for this as it wasn't clear from your post whether you think that it's his or Amepay fault for not sending toke tokens. If they are adamant about waiting for fees to go down, I think that you will wait for tokens for much longer than this, unfortunately. ETH price keeps incrasing and so are the transaction fees, Amepay price rise from $0.005 to $0.04. This is much more for bounty payments than they had planned. It will not be the first time some project has changed their mind and reduced the budget for the bounty program.
True, that was my first thought too, that they decided to delay the distribution due price increase, but their bounty started even before exchange listing and I guess they based the based signature payrates on ICO price, which was 1 AME = 0.024 USD and price now is not so much higher that price increase should be an issue. But who knows, maybe they are so stingy that they are indeed waiting for a dump so they can distribute the tokens, as we've seen so many times before. Based on what's written in the bounty thread, Amepay owes tokens from week 6-9. Since week 9 has not been calculated yet, for week 6-8 they are suppose to distribute 867,450 AME worth approximately 35,000 USD. That's not an insignificant amount of money and when you add on that transactions fees, I wouldn't be surprised if they delay token distribution indefinitely. |

On the random note of watching YouTube videos came across this Lucky Bitcoiner whose house is extravagant. Have anyone came across similar lucky persons who are rich enough through bitcoin.
I know few people IRL that bought houses/apartments via bitcoin profit which I consider is pretty big success, but no, I don't know any millionaires as of yet. That might change though in the future if they continue hodling bitcoin. Personally, that house is an overkill (at least for me) but it is not a surprise as people tend to spend way too much when they suddenly get huge amount of money. That's why majority of lotto winners declare bankruptcy within 5 years of winning. Personally, I would prefer to spend that money traveling, eating good food and living in a smaller house near the beach Spot on, exactly how I would spend my money  . |

Just to be sure what's going on here, @SmallRabbit has bounty funds and he/she decided to postpone bounty distribution due high fees? Or Amepay is in charge of distribution and it was their decision?
I think that we are about to see a lot of similar threads in the future for bounty campaigns with erc20 tokens as transactions fees won't go down anytime soon and in most of cases they will be higher than the value of tokens. It's not a valid excuse of course, but if I am bounty hunter I would think twice before accepting to work for months without being sure that I will get paid in the end.

I wish I'd stumbled across it 10 years ago!  Realistically, even if you stumbled across bitcoin 10 years ago, chances are you wouldn't be any different that many others who played a little bitc with bitcoin and simply forgot about it. Who expected 10 years ago that bitcoin will be what it is now, and with this price? Absolutely no one, and probably not even those heavily included into all this. With that being said, I don't think tat you are late to this party even if you just joined and bought your first bitcoin, as we are still in the early days of crypto adoption and don;t let this current price discourage you. In the beginning as like mining, there were also more calls for hodl. Many predictions was on hodling your bitcoin when price was below $10 but many sold and today we are seeing more stories of statements of regrets.
Question is, would bitcoin be what it is now if early adopters didn't try to buy things with it and just decided to passively hodl it? I personally think that people like Laszlo Hanyecz who spent 10,000 BTC for 2 pizzas played an important part in bitcoin promotion as it showed people that bitcoin is not "monopoly money". |

That's your username and it can be faked. What you want to "stake" is your Discord ID and to see your ID
Oh... you're right, thanks. I was thinking the username + id combination was unique for some reason.  LeNinja#8207 1336309933 Yeah me too, until we started conversation about sharing our username in this thread to verify the users and then someone pointed out that usernames are not unique and that you can change it to someone else's via Discord Nitro. I honestly see no point in that "feature" as I don't see why would someone use it other than to try scam people. God knows how many got scammed that way... |

Never actually staked my discord id, so here it goes. LeNinja#8207 That's your username and it can be faked (potential scammer can pay to have his username changed to yours). What you want to "stake" is your Discord ID and to see your ID, just follow what @Libert19 wrote If you are on android then to copy ID, go to setting > behaviour > enable dev mode > back to channel > long press your name > you will see copy id option.

I don't know whete are you getting that from, that people don't think that there will be some corrections. Thing is, people that are into bitcoin for a longer period of time don't care about those corrections as they know that they are perfectly normally, and if anything, it's a chance to acquire more BTC.
Regarding "bitcoin is too expensive now", people were saying exactly the same thing at 10,000, 20,000, 40,000 etc while we can see the price now. Simply put, best time to buy bitcoin is now! It doesn't mean that you have to go balls deep and invest everything that you have, but important thing is to start buying.

Bump for @dkbit98 merit source application! Despite consistently being one of the most active locals, Croatian board is still in the group of (in my opinion) under merited local boards. We have occasional decent month when merit sources outside of our local board, but only long term solution is to make @dkbit98 a merit source!  |
