I guess they aren't going where you're pointing them to because it won't fetch them more cash easily like scamming gullible people would afford them. Those scumbags actually weigh their options.

Back to the OP, I actually saw something similar being promoted from CZ Binance's handle on twitter and instantly I concluded there was something wrong with that handle. In this auster age, with finances coming down, I don't believe in easy money in the form of giveaways. No free lunch anywhere. And to think anyone would double anyone's Bitcoin/altcoins is just being plainly greedy. Those who fall prey to such are as guilty as those who scam them. However, on hacked account, my suggestion is that people should put a 2FA on their accounts. I have had several occasions where I got codes sent to me from transactions I didn't initiate. Instantly it would occur to me that someone was trying to hack my account. But they never get to succeed and it's all thanks to 2FA.

I think it's even a huge risk trying to use a VPN for trading or on any site that forbids one's country from registration. What happens to one's capital on the site once it's discovered that one circumvented the process and there is a ban and one's account is blacklisted? Of course, you get to feel the hurt and then regret your involvement because of the waste of time. For me, once there is a country restriction on any site I want to use I just stay out. For instance there is a country restriction from PayPal on my country. What I do is stay away from sites which have only PayPal as a mean of payment for any online stuff I do. It's as simple as that for me.

This is exactly the grouse people should have with him, and not necessarily that he bashed Bitcoin. From my view, he even promoted Bitcoin more. I was one of those who got affected by his attics with the GHOST project. His media clout and influence brought ESH to an ATH because it sold out from $0.02 to well over $2 just so people wanted to get the airdropped GHOST. Sadly, soon after the airdrop the controversial McAfee acted his usual unreliability and accused the GHOST management of lack of seriousness and dumped it. Well, this is a different ball game now and in the past too. If he's found culpable in the offence he was docked for, he should be made to face the  law. No one is above the law, at least not in sane societies.

The closest I came to lending with assurance of not losing my cryptos was with the Poloniex Exchange. It used to fascinate me how I could lend my coins out on that platform and another trader picking it up even without having any direct chat with me. Interests are paid as at when due and the coins are returned at expiration. But Polo has since stopped that service. I wish any other exchange would pick it up. Notably, I have heard of p2p groups where people go into borrowing and loaning of cryptos. But they do that with escrows.  However, we can't compare what interests are paid on any loaned crypto to what one makes trading them by oneself. The key thing to excel on this is getting the required skill set for trading.

Yes, the rank of the BM isn't the only thing to be considered while deciding whether to enroll in a bounty or not but a newbie ranked BM is more of a red flag than the higher ranked users. Newbies don't have much to lose if they scam hunters and then get tagged, they simply move on and create another account. However, sometimes the newbie accounts we see here may have been running bounties on other crypto fora and may have acquired the prerequisite knowledge and as such know what it takes to run bounties. That they're newbies here doesn't mean they can't run bounties successfully. For me, I can enroll in a bounty run by a newbie account registered in a project's name. That way, I think hunters have the feel of getting their rewards at the end of bounty as decent projects will always want to stay out of controversies.

Swing Trading demands patience and patience is what a whole lot of traders lack. The chart has the pattern of up and down movements. That's why it swings and it messes up with trading emotions. It could take days to hit TP and that drags the impatient minds. However, it's my best form of trading technique because it's less stressful. It only takes for one to view one's technicals, place a trade and walk away. That's just it.

OP, kindly move this topic to Trading Discussion Board as someone up here had already suggested.

So @Lordhermes na Pitaqua homeboy too like Duncan Mighty and even Brainboss? E good like that. BTW, Brainboss I like your display of own flag for that your avatar. You be true Naija. We be better people, na only owa politicians dem dey make persin feel bad about we country. E sweet my belle well well as end this criminal SARS demonstration dey go on. Another thing we dey give me joy be as I dey see many of owa people dey enter campaigns wey dey fit pay with btc. I know as e be here for naija for peeps wey nor get work. And we dey try escape that frustration with this crypto thing. Una do well oh. @Smartvirus, nor feel bad for that competition thing. Keep trying. I welcome all owa newcomers too. Welcome, wey bread!

Congrats Maus0728, and other winners (even in the various categories). Menh! You guys just nailed it. I wish I could kill you folks for your skills 🤡. Drawing is one thing I can't save my life with, even under gunpoint. Yeah, sad for me, I know.

I hope one day soon Roo will open a contest I can take part in...

Logically, no explanation is justifiable going into prostitution apart from the same reason that makes people seek white collar jobs - money. A lot of those who go into it adduce poverty or rejection as their reasons just so they won't be frowned at but in the actual sense they go into it because they see it as a real job. What other job satisfaction does a kleptomaniac need? Yep, I know not all kleptomaniacs love that cloak of prostitution. But those who don't  indulge it as a profession, will find flirtatious ways to express that carnal craving. Well, apart from the morality question (I am a moralist) on such a profession, I think people won't see it differently as not a job. So, those who go into it should quit excuses.

May be in the next five years from now Warren Buffet will find it necessary to take back his word on that.

On the Bitcoin journey so far, I think we are gradually getting there. I am of the opinion that good things don't come cheap. Come to even think of it, the Bitcoin idea will take away financial power from the government and place it in the hands of people we don't expect government to speedily do anything positive to aid its adoption.

Yes, 12 years and still counting. Cryptocurrency in a budding industry that has come to stay. Greater things ahead.

I think this simplifies that definition of ponzi, succinctly put. Those mischief makers who liken Bitcoin to a ponzi scheme, either they aren't sincere to themselves or they truly don't understand the phonemenal Bitcoin. Except, it existed in the past I haven't read anywhere (both online and offline) where it was said that Bitcoin had a referral programm or commission like most of the present projects now do. I will like to read about this, if there is any link to such stories.

Let me quickly put it here - I just discovered now that there has been an attempt to hack my Telegram account. This is the first of its kind for me since I started using it a few years ago. I can't really say what the person behind it is trying to achieve or prove. The handle is @kenngurai. The whole thing just went blank as I tried to access it.

Please, no one should respond to any posts or pms from that handle until I get this sorted out today when am back from church. I will post here once that is done. Thanks.

Edited: I am now able to access the handle again. I think everything is well now.

Honestly, I am beginning to think that you're shielding the ClipX team from blame with all your counter accusations. One would've expected you to amicably appeal to the community and bounty hunters who suffered emotional trauma because of the personal documents they submitted to the ClipX team. An apology would've done a magic and people would've understood your understanding of the concept of "mistakes do happen" and not the frenzy for retaliation you've indulged, tagging those who called the bounty you managed out. Is saying, I am sorry a difficult thing to say?

BTW, I had to sit out all my participations to the end and get my stakes for a labourer deserves its pay.

That's right. I actually started that thread on ClipX because of the shabby way the project team treated bounty hunters of which I was one. My anger was fueled because the ClipX team knew they weren't continuing with the project but they insisted that hunters passed a KYC with them. However, I didn't agree with @xenon131 for tagging Bounty Detective and I said it in clear terms in this comment 👇because I felt it was a bit harsh as BD might even have incurred some losses themselves too running that bounty.


If I felt the fault was entirely that of BD, perhaps I would've tagged them at once when I made that post. Well, I hope xenon131 sees reason to reconsider on this and resolve it.

Yes, the strategy to taking profit does differ among traders. For me, I rely on TA which is usually from support and resistance. But I must admit that sometimes one gets carried away with greed and begin to shift the parameters when take profit is about to be hit.

Any coin that is worth trading, I trade and take profit.

I tether whenever I sell off and suspect that Bitcoin (base crypto) is going to crash.

The government of my country doesn't really care about this. We only pay stamp duties and other bank charges whenever we make crypto transactions through banks.

I know this isn't the case all the time as we do have shops and services that accept Bitcoin in direct exchange for goods and services without converting to fiat.


That's a salient point why there seems to be a sort of apathy towards the use of Bitcoin by the larger society - lack of government support for adoption. Once there is a legislation to that effect, use and demand for Bitcoin will spiral out of control. Trust me.

But the current total supply is still at 35billion from stats on the https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/rapids site. Perhaps it hasn't updated or what? Again, if the burn actually did happen it hasn't had any positive impact on price.

Well, I think the crash at the moment is a general market thing and not only confined to DeFi projects. However, I have observed that Yearn.Finance has had the worse hit among the DeFis. At a point in Sept it got to over $40,000. Now it's trading below $20,000. But this crash hasn't discouraged investors from rushing to DeFis. More DeFi projects are now coming to the market on daily basis and are getting attention. Honestly, while I still maintain that DeFi is just a trend like we had with ICOs and IEOs, I believe the trend isn't ending now. At least, we will continue to see this trend till the end of 2020.

At the current rate, 0.06btc is over $650. That's a huge sum of money for anyone to pay just to belong to a signal providing group. I would rather fancy my chances taking risk with any of these "Farm" projects at their ICO stage or with any other DeFis instead of paying such as a registration fee to someone whose calls for trades may not even be accurate. As a newbie, some of these motivational speeches and assurances of success also caught my attention. But with time I got to know they were all empty promises. Believe me, you will be better off without such groups. Most of them aren't even traders, but signal marketers.
