I would advise you wait trying to predict when the market would bull. If you are not making short-term speculations, then do not attempt to predict the future price.
Do you research, invest what you can afford to lose, and hodl, till you get your desired profit.

Thanks for clarifying, there are lots of rumours going around about the new device and how it incorporates the blockchain technology.
I for one do not think it would have much of an impact on the cryptocurrency market, it us a huge step, and would attract more interest to the blockchain.
I see it as another rung on the ladder ti mass adoption.

Checking ratings on websites is not a very good idea I've come across many a project with excellent ratings on such websites turn out to be a scam, or a failed project before take off. This is cause majority of projects turn out to be disappointments despite having a glowing whitepaper and trying to disrupt one industry or the other using the blockchain.

It's very difficult to predict which project would turn out good during an ICO. I go for those with an already established sector which is verifiable and functioning.
ICOs are big risks. Only a small percentage turn out successful.

The YouTube video is loop repeating the same words over the span of ten minutes, probably not worth sharing. But the message is pretty clear. Hodling in the midst of the current market crisis.
Education on the bitcoin network and it's potential would help encourage hodlers to keep hodling for the golden days.

The blockchain could be manipulated in different ways. It is not always advisable to have an open source protocol, in some cases permission has to be restricted to a need to know basis.
If permissions we're restricted where it isn't supposed to be, that would raise suspicion.

It was intended to be an escape for those who are averse to the control and monopoly of banks and governments. By eliminating double spending and putting control in the hands of the actual asset hodlers.

For any of this to happen it has to have a value and it's decentralized, so it's value can not be regulated. Satoshi must have anticipated a situation like these when designing the network.

- Have a well laid down objective, preferably a long term plan. Use current situation and tools to speculate on the future and invest according to your prognosis.

- Don't invest what you can't afford to lose. This statement is hackneyed, but can not be over emphasized. Regardless of the market condition, only invest spare money.

- Grow your knowledge. Read books, articles, watch videos, listen to podcasts. You are part of a digital awakening, get the most of it.

We may possibly have both of that happening right now. There has been so much FUD spread in the past few days about the price and that could serve as ridicule of true believers. And hodlers may as well be cutting their losses. Exchanges are always going on, so it's quite impossible to pinpoint a time when hodlers pack up.

I take FUD as well as FOMO with lots of reservation. Amd I'd prefer if members stopped propagating them here on the forum.

There can not be full decentralization in an Iranian owned currency or that if any other country, especially when it is a stable currency and needs to be collaterized in a tangible asset which has to be stored as a central facility.

There should also be a guide on how to use the poll option. Newbies are restricted but I still come across unnecessary polls around the forum.
Forum polls should not lose their relevance on the forum due to abuse from some members.
Is it possible to report a poll, separately from the post itself, and have a moderators remove it? If the report is valid.

I am a regular member here on the forum, and can not contrive any real need for a chat box here on the forum. I do not frequent the gambling board, so do not know how it can be applied there. This forum is for cryptocurrency discussions.
There would surely be groups on other platforms designed to fit your demand.
A chat box on the forum would come with a lot of demands and possibly problem with spam.

It is unlikely that everyone decides to sell a the same time frame, but as an investor, you should have a strategy, which builds upwards and not just a one off sale. This is also a good way to purchase tokens.

Also if the price shoots up, this would increase the FOMO around bitcoin and attract lots of demand and conversely increase the liquidity.

This thread belongs to the Scam accusation board where it can be proven or disproved. Only confirmed scams should be posted on other boards like this, for beginners and members who do not frequent some peculiar boards on the forum.

I have gathered from this thread that the miners still control the consensus even if the company controls the pools. If the company was to at a time attempt a 51% attack, even if it does fail, would it affect the confirmation of transactions on the bitcoin network during that period?


Is there this much gain in pulling such a stunt?

Going from putting a ban on ICO ads to planning your own digital asset launch is surely progress. Buy for Facebook which is finally waking up to rhe potential in the blockchain technology.
Facebook are creating their own coin and this would not have so much an impact on all other cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin is the only coin as at now which can influence the entire cryptocurrency market

I do not find it weird at all that people are more driven by my the prospects of getting money than learning more about a network protocol and how it impacts the globe. Finances drives our interests.
A number of people who may have been attracted to Bitcoin for different reasons end up getting hooked to the tech and learning more about how it works and it possibilities.

Correct, and the account has actually been inactive since August of last year, which was before the jr member demotion to newbie.
Op if your intention on the forum is clear and well defined and aligns with the goals of the forum, then you would have no problem returning back to your previous rank or gunning for a higher status.
You can as well purchase a copper membership to be allowed to wear a signature as a newbie

The research centre which drew up the ratings would surely have their reasons for ranking the currencies how they did based on their own research, and this should govern their investment ventures in cryptocurrency.
You can also to do your own research.
I can not fault their list, I can only disagree and make mine based on my investment priorities.

It is not a security token if they are launching an ICO, which is meant for utility tokens. They would be doing an equity distribution, or an STO, Security Token Offering.
This would act as a sort of publicity, and I do not think there is any negative to the report. Also I do not think it would have much of an impact as at yet, as more industries and sectors adopt cryptocurrency, we could haveass adoption.

I believe this does not only apply to topics/threads. Also on boards. If you use the search button when on a specific board, you would only get responses related to that board. Only when on the home page can you search the entire forum.
