I'm honestly not one to shill most of the time but I truly see a future in this team and also see a VALID project!
The coin is going for a couple pennies less on forkdelta but this is due to ethereum fluctuations I believe. Feel free to check it out your self, and let me know what you guys think.
I'm not a swing trader or day trader... I prefer to "HODL" ... so here's to making it in 2019 fellow coiners.

Altcoins today are struggling , yes no doubt about that but if much attentions are giving to some altcoins with lots of potentials, i think it will make altcoins standout in the market. although some altcoins lacks vision and there are several coins i believe will defintely change the market positively.

All these Criminal Acts is giving Crypto a bad name , i think there should be more measures and controls to be put in place in other to curb such occurence.

So for the last 18 months I have held, gambled, bought and exchanged some BTC mostly through this forum. (I HATE PAXFUL AND FEES). Anyways I have won lost, and just at points had to sell my coins for emergency funds and etc.

Well just a couple weeks ago I had around .02 BTC (thats alot for me) well my washer and dryer has been having issues. My dryer proceeded to go and break on me and I had to sell my .02 to buy a used dryer, I spent $30 in gas and $75 on the dryer and when I got home the used dryer I bought is broken and the guy who sold it hasnt aswered my phone call in a month...

Well anyways I sold my .02 for around $140 at the time roughly 1 month ago give or take. And since then it has went up over $100 in value... smh

Am i just unlucky or does the bitcoin market follow my transaction history and only pump when I am out?  

I really just wish I never sold I would still have a broke dryer and .02...The price has went up so high that I now cannot afford to invest. My mother was just diagnosed with stage 4 COPD and Emphazema and was just put on Hospice home health. So I am currently unemployed taking care of her. Its a struggle everyday.. I seriously am starting to wonder if btc is just bad luck for me. I once owned 3 BTC when an (unnamed website was shut down) I lost it all and since that day. Have never made it back.. I am now a proud owner of around 850 satoshis... ( so any ideas on how I can earn a little simple btc would be appreciated)...

But to finish my post. Does BTC price rise or fall when you sell. And since you have been dabbling in Crypto have you become more /less successful. I want to hear your stories. I think all BTC has ever done for me is gotten my funds stolen multiple times lol. But man do I love it.

(I know not to leave my funds on exchange but I am broke I cannot afford spending 6 to $10 just to be able to withdraw my BTC every other day, usually when I am trading it's usually only 50 to $100 as its all I can afford. I lose money withdrawing and depositing every other day between withdraw fees and BTC fees It eats up $100 quick)....

Give me your thoughts!

Lets get a High IQ thread going here.

What will blockchain look like in 2030? What will have failed? What will still be in existence? What portion of govs will utilize the blockchain? What things do you think will happen that might surprise us?

What do we make of the coverage of institutions and governments quietly buying up large amounts if Bitcoin? Is there much reliable info/coverage on this? Seems like this might not be getting the attention it deserves. Or maybe I'm just being led on by suspicion/curiosity.

Opinions? Inside info haha

I'm sure people have noticed how eerily similar to religion Bitcoin is becoming. The mythical founder, the email disciples, the followers. This message board as a proto-bible of texts, the wiki and the churches efforts to consolidate a one-true-book. The false prophet of Real Solid, the breakway protestants of Litecoin and the cults of BBQ, IO,IX..... the small monastery of Dev coin. Our prayers to Satoshi in the form of mining- doing Satoshis' work, The Charlaten of Pirate. And of course- the eternal blockchain. The collective memory of our entire universe.


So why doesn't someone just do it already- and register the Church of Satoshi? There is certainly enough philosophy here.

eidt: Namecoin can be the lost 13th tribe of Alt Chains.

I've known countries where Bitcoin and crypto in general are legal. In some, it is legal in the sense that it is not illegal; meaning, there are no existing laws which Bitcoin violates, nor laws which are deliberately crafted to make it illegal. While other countries consider Bitcoin legal, it is never accepted as a currency. It may be a security, an asset, a commodity, and so on but never a currency. It may be used as a medium of exchange in selected countries but these countries do not have an explicit law that backs up such set-up.

And then here comes New Zealand. Starting September 1, companies in the country are allowed to pay their employees in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. There are corresponding tax laws on this as well. But here's the condition which I find amazing and encouraging. These cryptocurrencies should be a currency, meaning, that they function as such. It should be, for all its intents and purposes, a money. This is a huge step in mainstreaming the use of Bitcoin and other cryptos in the country.

I listened to Andreas recently and he is absolutely correct. Unfortunately there is a great danger on the horizon against bitcoin. Just as bitcoin was designed to be a parallel system to global finance, the top country are plotting to make bitcoin separated into two systems, a black market of unbanked criminalized innocent citizen, and a and this is truly teh key argument

A parallel white market system where you truly do not own the keys, where your software and hardware wallets are backdoored with KYC and surveillance and your addresses are declared to the intelligence and tax agencies and you have no real privacy, safety, fungibility, or immutability.

They will do this by legally persecuting Ledger Nano and Trezor and criminalizing and regulating every centralized exchange on the FATF list. They will treat anyone that they see unfit for western finance the way they treat Iran. The United States is categorically opposed to cross border payments to anyone in the world. They will not stop until they geofence bitcoin into such a corner that you are unable to truly own your keys, destroying the purpose of crypto. Your KYC data will be leaked, your safety will be jeopardized, and any negative turn of events in civil liberties in Europe and the USA and Canada and Australia will put you in jeopardy because they will have your keys and your address.

The Japanese and Taiwanese just made a backdoored Hardware wallet that rejects transactions that cannot pass KYC certification on both sides.

They made a hardware wallet that doesn't allow unpermitted state compliant transactions. This HW does not truly belong to you, it belongs to the state, just like your legacy finance banking account

We all need to start initiating the process of suing G20 countries in the supreme court of the united states, international courts in Brussels and the Hague and EU parliament. They must be stood up to preemptively. They will incrementally take your civil liberties away.

Let's discuss what is the definition of property
a thing or things belonging to someone; possessions collectively.

Taking this into account , We can consider all the assets that we own as our property.

So is the bitcoins .
We haven't earned it doing some shady business and at the same time it's our money that we have invested in it , a money that we have earned .


Now let's talk about the Right to property in India
The right to property was initially present in Indian constitution under part III : Fundamental right , Article 31 but it was abolished by 44 th Amendment Act ,1978. ... Now it is made a constitutional right under Article 300A which states that no person can be deprived of his / her property except by authority of law.

Here the only thing is see is *except by the authority of law*

But this authority of law is being manipulated time and again by various communities , shouldn't they make decisions in accordance to everyone in this country not just some big committee set up by old leaders who doesn't even know a thing about blockchain.

Now we have some Fundemental rights
Right to freedom: It includes freedom of speech and expression, assembly, association or union or cooperatives, movement, and residence. It also includes the right to practice any profession or occupation.

We have the right to practice any profession or occupation.

What we do in Signature campaign , the trading is no easy profession but it earns better than most of the daily jobs.

So aren't they breaching this right too ?

until I see some evidence otherwise, there is a long history of

Fraud in the Cryptocurrency scene and its mildy safe to

assume  the Chinese central bank is planning a Fraud coin

Crypto exists as a highly volatile, and heavily manipulated commodity. Just in the past 7 months bitcoin has gone from $3,300 to $13,800 and is currently at $11,350. If during all that time you have only made a 20% profit you are a terrible crypto investor.

Crypto is not a governmentally regulated security. It is a high risk, high reward. When you invest in crypto you are putting your money at high risk, there is no FDIC backing your deposit, there is no SEC investigating the earnings reports, you could even lose the private key and lose your money forever. Which is why, when I invest in crypto I expect at least a 2X return with expectation of 3X-4X returns.

In no other investment has it been possible to expect such a return of 4X within a year. That is what makes bitcoin and crypto special. It is high risk high REWARD.

The problem is, crypto is new. People don’t understand what it is. People don’t know how to measure it, quantify it, capitalize on it. Crypto is for most, a mystical “digital money” that sometimes is 20k and other times it is 3k.

I started my crypto journey with $800 of severance from my last regular job. Over 2016 that $800 turned into $30,000. Over 2017, that $30,000 changed to $250,000, and I made plenty of stupid mistakes. 2018 was a cold year. It was a learning year. I spent most of my time developing my metrics and honing my understanding.

In my experience crypto is for multiplying money not for gaining percentages. By understanding the speculation in the market, understanding how much it costs to make a bitcoin, and selling or buying slowly with purpose and patience anyone can multiply their investment. It took 4.5 months to go from $3,300 to $13,800.

I made my site and my metrics in order for people to understand what they are investing in. So they could buy when its $3,300 and sell when its $13,800, and understand what they are doing and know what they are buying and selling.

I caution against purchasing $11,350 bitcoin by asking these questions.
What do you expect from it?
Do you expect bitcoin to go to 20K magically?
Is it a bad idea to be patient right now?

Check out my site, take my masterclass, see what I’m working with. I made it totally free just for you.

I pay for my monthly satellite TV subscription with a bank transfer and for some obscure reason I forgot to pay it this month. I was still watching the World cup Cricket tournament, when a message popped up, saying that my account was in the arrears and they blocked my viewing.

I immediately logged into my internet Banking and checked my payment history and realized that I skipped that payment for some reason, so I made the payment and thought I would wait for a hour or two and then resume viewing. Noooot!

8 HOURS passed, I phoned the company and they informed me that the payment is not reflected on their system yet, so I waited another 4 hours and phoned them again. <still Nothing>

A whole 21 hours later the payment went through and I could continue viewing, but the match I wanted to see was finished. 

If I paid with Bitcoin, this same payment would have taken less than 20 minutes at most, but unfortunately this Satelite provider does not accept Bitcoin payment for this service. 

At least 4,836 Bitcoin (BTC) of stolen from Binance exchange in May 2019 was laundered through crypto mixing service Chipmixer.

I have read a lot of people claiming that the rank or online personality of the bounty manager can help in knowing the or determining if investing in a token project will be worthwhile. I must tell you I was of the opinion until this morning when I learnt about the incompetence of a bounty manager I used to follow. Remember most of us don't know each others beyond our online profile. I learnt he will be managing more bounty after he left his old profile to embrace another one.

Although, he's not tainted as fraud yet because my source won't say if he is. But the issue is if he is to fraud unsuspecting newbies, that how he will do it. U believe u can trust him base on his forum rank and experience. But he is fake who has series of identities for his guise.

So, don't join a bounty or invest in a project because of the bounty manager. Do your research before investing your money or time on any project.

There is one thing I have realized from my experience with KYC for bounties. Almost all the projects I have provided my personal information to them failed to even get listed on exchanges and the project dies off. Surprisingly, those that didn't require KYC paid me and the project is truly developing. My point is, am beginning to think those project requesting hunters to go through KYC are just in for their information to trade and do not have any intentions to develop their crypto project so let's be vigilant about whom we carelessly give our details to, for some peanuts...May God bless our hustle

Tune in to my recommendation companions,you shouldn't promote bounties only for benefits of it,else you will wind up picking phony or trick projects since your attitude is toward profits,this is similar missteps some bounty hunters are taking,begin picking generally excellent projects,their prizes probably won't be attractive however trust me they constantly justified despite all the trouble at last.

I've noticed that everytime I make any transaction I have to pay fees. why users have to pay their money? for example, I use changelly and it's found out that I pay them 0,25% fee. Is that normal or they steal from me?

It was an unfortunate event that i was able to join an ICO campaign that was really not good in terms of their management. They are requiring to do the bounty hunters a KYC process as to help them identify the real bounty hunters. Well that is good though and i am confident that i am able to comply in the KYC process. However, a couple of months pass the team requires the bounty hunters to contribute with 0.1 eth and that time I was about to think why when in fact they will do KYC? So i think there is something fishy out there in their ICO and i quit joining bounty campaigns. I posted more than 200 post for them but sad to say my efforts had gone to nothing. I am afraid now to join ICO bounty campaign. Should i quit? Well anyway i found SONDER and this time i am sure that i have joined a good ICO having a live sales which sold million of tokens in their private sales. No question with the success we are almost reaching the soft cap and i am planning also to invest with them as the team told us that our contribution as eth increases so does our tokens. WOw i am really impressed with these ICO. The team are working hard and i am happy and great to be with these team. I finally found the one.

Ah credits, the scam that keeps on giving.

A quick look at the team wallet already shows us that the team is quietly exit scamming:
https://etherscan.io/token/0x46b9ad944d1059450da1163511069c718f699d31?a=0x76eb62c98ad23baf1fb0b819cf0c5412dd57bcfa

See the txs out of the team wallet?
They all seem to be going to random wallets right?

well, not exactly:
https://etherscan.io/tx/0x8fb5dae4adda362db66f6af1d1d408a4c8d7d45e8c601c95801fba306f2b1ff1
https://etherscan.io/tx/0x66a3943e3edf58f360097fd24e233079c57da858ef2e95f44afe03d14972e3ff

these are 2 transactions that were done right after each other.

If you closely examine these accounts, you'll see that they both end up sending the tokens they have received to:
https://etherscan.io/token/0x46b9ad944d1059450da1163511069c718f699d31?a=0x022d5eae23955fb32c977a68556d11349fb6ae44

Now if you examine this address, you'll see that it is only transacting with the KuCoin2 cold wallet, and only in credits transactions:
https://etherscan.io/address/0x022d5eae23955fb32c977a68556d11349fb6ae44

Which means, that this is 1 users KuCoin CS deposit account. You know if you make a KuCoin account, and you can generate a specific CS wallet to send you tokens there.
This is probably the team's (or Igor's ) kucoin wallet.
Meaning, all of these different eth-addresses receiving various amounts of credits tokens, are sending the tokens to the same kucoin address afterwards and probably end up dumping the tokens there.


So if you ask this question in the credits chat 3 things might happen:
1) They'll say it's the developers that wants to be paid in credits and storing their tokens on kucoin, instead of their own wallets. Which doesn't make any sense. Salaries are paid at the end of the month, not at random times during the month. Furthermore, are all the developers using a joint KuCoin account? Lmao...
Furthermore, developers storing their tokens on a crappy exchange wallet, which are KNOWN to be hacked frequently.

2) They'll say it's bug bounty hunters selling or storing tokens. Which also doesnt make sense because the max reward is $3k, while some of the transactions are way higher, close to 5-6k$. Again, why are these bug bounty hunters immediately transferring their tokens to kucoin? And also are these bounty hunters also using a shared account? :').

3) They'll ban you, and delete any evidence of the questions you've asked.


I think they have run out of money and are no longer able to sustain the company.
Either they are trying to hold on for dear live, or they are quietly trying to exit scam by squeezing out the final few 100k$ out of the project by selling of max amount of team tokens before everyone wakes up.

Which would make sense why they are trying to hide these txs by doing 1-2 random wallet hops, before they end up at the same kucoin wallet, where they are beind dumped (just look at the price action the past month. Price took a nosedive after these txs started happening).
