In most case, a security token is better than a magical token that does not have any underlying value. But the question is, who will give such valuable token to bounty hunters? Then, I'm also afraid that we need to do KYC every time we hunt.

In my opinion:
STO is good for real companies with a legit business model.
ICO is good for decentralized projects.

My prediction:
If there is any legitimate STO bounty, then the team would only give hunters a tiny percentage of tokens. Maybe 0.00000000000000X% LoL. Hunters are worthless, it's like love and hate relationship

Inflation is not always a bad thing. Of course like other lessons in social science, it consists of a spectrum. To make it simple, let's say inflation is when banks print more money. Nothing wrong with more money if and only if banks use it for productive activities. In that way, the real value of the money will decrease temporarily, but it will increase after the investment yields desired results.

The problem with "modern inflation" is that banks use more printed money to do unproductive activities, such as inflating stocks, bonds, properties, etc. That's why you have the boom-bust cycle in the assets market.

Gak ada centralized exchange yang aman gan. Aturan nomor 1 kalau mau aman ya sehabis trading langsung keluar. Centralized exchange seperti Coinbase dan Indodax mungkin aman dalam artian kalau bermasalah, orang-orangnya bisa diangkut ke penjara. Tapi kalau masalah aset yang hilang bisa dibekukan atau dikembalikan atau tidak, ya tergantung keberuntungan (ingat prinsip cryptocurrency hanya ada tx valid dan tidak valid). Belum lama ini exchange receh favorit ane Cryptopia sudah tutup lapak* padahal sudah buka lapak sejak tahun 2014. Buka di New Zealand pula yang notabene hukumnya sudah oke.

*Turut berduka bagi para korban

Kalau saran ane, peringkat tersebut bisa dijadikan patokan exchange yang enak buat masuk->trading->keluar karena likuiditas dan sistemnya sudah baik, bukan untuk menyimpan aset dalam jangka panjang.

Tentang HitBTC, ane sendiri pernah pakai sekali dua kali dan itu sudah cukup untuk membuat ane tidak mengunjungi lapak mereka lagi. Ini cuma subjektivitas ane saja loh berdasarkan user experience-nya, bukan bermaksud nge-FUD.

Sekali lagi ane beruntung pada awal ane mengenal bitcoin dkk adalah dari video Antonopoulos. "Your keys, your bitcoin; not your keys, not your bitcoin."

No one could predict the price movement, so you don't have to worry about it. If I could predict the future, then I would keep it to myself, not create an article about it. Cryptocurrency has a strong fundamental, and it will certainly go up in the future. What you are trying to do is predicting the bottom. Just like the suggestion above, the wiser strategy is to dollar cost averaging. With this strategy, you don't have to worry about the bottom. Plus at the moment, the probability of price to go up is slightly higher than to go down.

Sure, many payment projects now are close to integrating crypto-fiat payments in shops. It depends on the progress of Lightning Network actually whether BTC is the main movers or not. From what I see, LN wouldn't be ready in 2019. Therefore, this is the year for altcoins to overtake BTC as payment tools.

BTC would stay strong to be the internet gold. Crypto-exchanges would still anchor BTC for trading pairs, but not for buying goods from stores.

Permanent bans are common in the internet forums by the way. Do you know what is scarier? You as a person is also permanently banned from using this forum.

But,

Sometimes people here are more forgiving, and let the culprits start over with new accounts. They will be fine as long as they really change their behavior. But, from what I see, I lost faith in humanity. "People don't change."

Memang menarik sekali platform EOS itu gan, apalagi JUDI-nya.. Uhukk

GRIN + EOS sigcamp di mana gan? Hmm, kalau HARA tergantung nurani masing-masing

*Maaf kalau OOT

Kalau ane dinilai low, yang copas dinilai medium. Sekarang ane jadi lebih sering jadi shadow BM yang sukanya nglaporin artikel-artikel copas di bounty yang ane ikut. Kemarin lihat ada yang ditranslate ke Bahasa Jawa. Kalau copas artikel ane pakai blogspot ane usahakan blogspotnya diblokir.

Sepertinya menarik daripada sendiri-sendiri bikin konten, kalau mau bikin platform publikasi lalu disatukan biar platformnya jadi tebal, banyak traffic, dapat iklan juga.

Jadi deh Hackernoon ID

Eits, ane hanya bilang cukup untuk biaya hosting dan domain saja gan. Kalau sampai passive income yang benar-benar berasa yaa sulit sekali apalagi bayaran sekali klik iklan di konten indo cuma beberapa ratus perak.

Yup, I think this forum got the most traffic out of others bitcointalk alternative.

@OP I know your frustration, but as long as whales are still chilling here, you can't expect scammers to leave.

Kalau ane sih baca biar gak kena proyek scam, gak tau bawah ane.

Kalau bukan orang terkenal di dunia kripto, sudah pasti itu sock-puppet alias klonengan dan bot. Makanya istilah traffic itu ada yang tertarget ada yang tidak, ada yang berkualitas ada yang tidak. Percuma juga banyak like dan komentar tapi yang lihat cuma teman-teman satu RT/RW dan bot. Sayangnya tidak banyak BM yang punya pengetahuan tentang ini (atau mungkin tutup mata), jadinya kampanye berkesan menjadi ladang spambot yang berakibat dicibir di platform bagus kayak Medium (Twitter dan FB juga sering ngeblock btw).

Semua kembali ke tujuan agan-agan ya, mau buat blog/web hanya untuk bounty atau untuk hobi jangka panjang membangun traffic dan reputasi organik. Semua ada plus-minusnya. Karena ane bangun web hobi (dari 2013), walaupun artikel misalnya ditolak BM, paling tidak ada harapan keyword-keywordnya dapat menjala korban ngeklik adsense ane. Lumayan sudah bisa bayar domain dan hosting tiap tahun dari iklan.

Sedikit OOT, tolong BH artikel perilaku copy-pastenya dikurangi. Ane lihat masih banyak yang nyolong artikel penulis-penulis lain. Ingat bahwa agan sangat kecil kemungkinannya untuk bisa sukses kalau perilakunya masih curang.

In theory (about currency), that would be correct. You assume that people are rational and markets are efficient. However, people treat bitcoin differently. Most people treat it like rare gold-like collectibles and hold it like crazy. Don't forget about supply-demand, this hodl cult actually could drive up the price.

As long as people see bitcoin as a rare gem, the price would always go up. Of course without liquidity (real tx volume). There is no price stability.
But it is still valuable!

C'mon man, this forum doesn't need money. @theymos is already richer than 99.9% of members here. Thus, you buy copper membership if you need its feature, e.g., to post images. Or just like me, to boost your ego (digger bick), lol.

I don't think banks would participate in a "pump and dump" scheme. This kind of transfer is possible with a stable coin (USDT and stuff), but still, they would consider the price swing to be too high.

The 2nd scenario is about using the XRP as a closed (private) network, so they could do whatever they want.

Sebenarnya dari penjelasan agan @ryzaadit, medium masih dipakai oleh beberapa hunter untuk ngebounty. Hanya saja kesannya kucing-kucingan dengan algoritma medium untuk bisa survive, sehingga untuk pemula ane tidak merekomendasikan untuk menggunakan medium. Medium sendiri sudah sangat jelas peraturannya seperti yang sudah ane rangkum di atas.

Untuk ngebounty agan masih bisa menggunakan steemit dan kadang blogspot masih diterima. Atau kalau modal dikit, bisa beli domain dan hosting. Jadikan ini sebagai investasi (atau hobi) jangka panjang. Karena blog yang berkualitas akan bisa memberikan return yang lebih kontinyu dari pendapatan adsense, plus koin dari ngebounty.

Sekedar shilling untuk inspirasi, agan bisa lihat website ane.

LoL, how can I give merit to someone who never posts? Lately, his posts are only about moving topics to the trashcan.

PS: Thanks mod for your support

It's not a good investment if no one actually use it, or only use it for solely for hodl. Grin has its potential, but seems overpriced at the moment. It doesn't have a proper wallet and windows wallet. Meanwhile, BEAM has better UI, structure, and economics.

But the fact that GRIN is so difficult to mine --only with 6GB+ cards-- make the coin isn't "evenly" distributed. Thus make it, very scarce and easy to manipulate.

I want to add one more item, but it might be a controversial one. We could use bitcoin as a tool to get a cheaper source of fund, like crowdfunding and ICO. For you who studied finance, this "cost of token" might be something in the future, in addition to "cost of debt" and "cost of equity."

1. Theoretically correct, but practically tx with 1 sat fee would be stuck in mempool.
2. So your argument is that the higher the BTC price, miners will include tx with lower fees? Well, what happened with the last bull-run (Dec 2017 - Jan 2018)? Did you see fees increase or decrease?

PS: Anyone care to explain/answer my question will get merit(s). But only for good quality answer of course.

@OP
You don't have to say thanks for every response. And don't do double posting, like this and this. Merge it, if not, someone will report you

Yeah, I still remember how merit-less I am until mid-2018. At that time, I only hope that somehow I could get 10 merits. Long story short, I'm still here even with the constant harassment from you guys! lol

I'm going to bump my newb's guide once I reach 500 merits.

Ane jadi tertarik tentang hal ini dan sedikit menyelikidi bagaimana akun seorang @joniboini bisa kena ban.

Berikut hasil penyelikidian ane:
Sumur: https://medium.com/policy/medium-rules-30e5502c4eb4

Kesimpulannya: medium memang tidak bisa buat ngebounty, sudah ganti yang lain saja. Hanya keberuntungan yang membuat akun ane terakhir ane cek masih aman.

Ikut nimbrung gans.

Dulu ketika ane masih suka main-main dengan spam artikel yang pakai anchor-link, akun ane juga dibanned di situs-situs blog (kecuali blogspot). Kalau menurut pengalaman ane, akun-akun yang dibanned tersebut isinya posting-posting dengan kualitas rendah atau spam. Kalau pakai Bahasa Inggris misalnya, akan tampak sekali artikel-artikel plagiat dan auto-translate + spinner, dan artikel jualan spam seperti yang sering nongol di email agan. Tentang adanya disclaimer maupun alamat ETH itu tidak begitu berpengaruh.

Artikel-artikel agan sebisa mungkin berkualitas, berupa review sendiri (kata-katanya unik), dan Bahasa Inggris tidak terlalu parah. Sampai saat ini akun medium ane juga masih aman, ya gak tau nanti kalau dibanned ya Kalau nanti kena ban akan ane ceritakan di sini.

Cuma disclaimer itu sebaiknya ada cuma karena alasan etika. Kalau claps ya kalau memang artikelnya agan suka silahkan diclaps. Intinya perilaku agan sebisa mungkin seperti blogger organik (tidak dideteksi sebagai bot/spammer/peternak akun), mirip seperti di bitcointalk ini.
