Bitcoin is having hard times  , it's primary trend is down for more than a half-year. Even current intermediate trend seems rising it may eventually end with as previous bottoms. Last time btc rised altcoins didnt rise well. They still have time to rise but when btc starts to fall it will take altcoins with it. So if you have short mid term investments on altcoins prepare for exit. You can catch a last ride oncoming next weeks parallel to btc run. while exiting from altcoins do not calculate them with /btc prices just think them as /usd so that you can see your real profit. Even if you are in lose i recommend you to exit. You may enter later or never.

I invested in one pre-ICO back in November (Heardbeats), I liked the concept and it seemed like a promising project at the time. Unfortunately they folded recently as they couldn't get the partnerships they needed to move the project forward. On the upside, they did return the original investment, albeit at the current dollar value, so lost almost 50%. However, I did respect their honesty and commitment to returning as much as possible to the early investors.

Another project I invested in also folded a couple of months back, and I received an email from them saying they were going to return the investment. Still waiting for that one.

Anyone else have any experience with refunds (or not)?

I don't know how I Explain my feelings. I Just lost all of my savings money. I was holding since January, I have been Holding to make again a good amount of Money. But at the end, my holding's output is, I lost everything because of my ETH wallet got hack! Almost 5K USD Stolen. All of my hard working money. I Don't know how can hacker hacked my wallet. Because I Kept very secure my private key, My friends are telling that hacker hacked my wallet by my email address. But how can someone hack only by an email address?

I Got a security alert from Google that someone has your password after then I changed my password immediately. Then after some time, I was checking my wallet to check new Coin. And then I Shocked! I Just want to give up, can't think what should I do 

Free listing exchanges are usually the scam exchanges. Or no trader there. Those conversations are usually bad. But I still see big exchanges like kineo cubine coinex. There are usually free votes for listings. But there must be a huge community.

I'm not interested in ICO because I've been cheated, and at that moment I feel wasting my time and doing a job that the result is empty because the end of ICO I get nothing.
so many new ICO scams and it is difficult to judge whether the ICO that followed was successful or not because it is not easy to find investors and investors are also not easy to trust the new ICO.

Hello, everyone!
I want to hear the opinions of traders. Is it a good idea to sell tokens immediately after launching on the exchange so that later, when the price falls, will they be purchased again? Always after the listing on the stock exchange price falls?

since January 2018 bitconnect prices did fall to the floor floor. even until now until 2018 the price has not shown improvement, the possibility that bitconnet will die is very likely to happen

Israeli Internet company Spot.IM will pay salaries in bitcoins

 Israeli Internet company Spot.IM plans to pay salaries to employees in bitcoins. Now she is negotiating with the Israeli tax authority (ISA) about obtaining a permit for the proposed method of payment along with an appropriate method of calculating exchange rates.

According to Spot.IM spokesman Itay Bracha, in Israel, the salary or allowance paid to an employee is taxable. The company offers employees to open an account on the crypto exchange, where they will transfer the converted into bitcoins salary.

To provide insurance against bitcoin volatility, the highest coin price and the lowest on the specified day will be calculated and used as an exchange rate. The staff will also have the opportunity to choose between receiving a salary or part of it in bitcoins or fiat money.

Employees of Spot.IM have approved this offer, as the high fee for conversion will be covered by the company. In addition to net profit, pension funds or other benefits will not be transferred using bitcoin.

In February 2018, the Israeli tax authorities announced that the crypto-currency transactions are assets subject to a capital gains tax. Thus, employees will need to pay a tax of 25% if they will profit from operations with bitcoins.

According to the head of Spot.IM, Ido Goldberg (Ido Goldberg), the company fully supports crypto-currencies and believes that such initiatives can provide confidence in the crypto-currency sphere.

You didn't know what kind of coin you bought then. It's a ROM. There are already tons of posts in this thread saying that it is now hard to sell YOVIs' because of the low volume. ROM means rise only market so you can only sell the coin on an open slot higher than the current lowest price.
If you are lucky you might be able to sell your YOVIs' within 2 months. Maybe you can create a hype to get more people to buy yovi to pump the price so the market could move a little bit faster.

Stellar is one of the relatively new promising new-generation coins. It has a lot of advantages, including I like his wallet, in which you can also exchange coins. Of course, this coin will grow very well when the market, at last, begins to rise.

Bigger exchanges doesn't necessarily mean that it has better security or services. Hitbtc for example, is one of the earlier exchanges but the service is shit. I'm using kucoin and OKex for now and I haven't got a problem with it.

Hi, how many of you have a successful story/earning from long time holdings? How many months or years that you hold it and what coin/s is/are that?

I am a holder and it seems like im loosing my patience with the particular coin that I am holding right now so I want to gain some inspiration from you when it terms with holding.

No need to educate people since this will happen automaticaly as soon as people notice that cryptocurrency is getting famous and profitable. There is no sense in explaining cryptocurrency to your friends and family because they will not get it right away. To learn about cryptocurrency, you must be willing to learn, I my self did not listen to my brother when he explained about crypto. I learned by my sepf when I noticed that cryptocurrency is real.

So, obviously there is a lot of bounties out there that are not that great, some of them are really good, but some of them just scams.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4419196.0

I just found this project, and it has some things that worry me.
First bad sign was a "guaranteed prize pool of 700k USD for bounty participants".  No project can realistically guarantee a prize pool that big.
Started to dig a little further and took a look at their reddit presence https://www.reddit.com/user/1apayment/ (basically non-existent)
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIJMXVm3bqn5SK9PvGXxqkQ - Youtube channel is very primary.
After taking a look at their team, it pretty much closed the deal for me.  I can't prove beyond a doubt that it is a scam, but everything adds up.  I'm not saying that I've proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is a scam, but I want to open a conversation to see what people think about this, and to see what kind be done about this kind of thing.

Anyways, I am wondering if there is a better place I could have posted this, or how else to deal with this.  In my opinion it is important to keep the message boards clean, and to get rid of projects that don't deserve attention.  Is there a system in place to deal with this sort of thing?  If so, what is it, and can low reputation individuals such as myself contribute?

So ones again we have been scammed by another ICO known as Uchit. Now people have started raining insults and curses on the bounty manager that he has led them to be scammed. Despite the numerous apologies from the manager, bounty hunters do not seem to understand. Now my question is, do you think bounty hunters must be blamed when we are scammed because they knew what the ICO was up to, even from the beginning?

I am going to change the signature in my profile.

Please tell me which is the  best and most paying Signature Bounty Campaign Currently?

Looking for your suggestions.

how do you think our best way to succeed a bounty without increasing the work time of hunters and bounty providers?

It is all about taking the risk and putting our money and future at risk in order to get some chance to get a higher reward, the higher the risk the higher the reward but even though there is a possible high reward, you can minimize it to a lower amount of risk by doing research first and checking the team.

It is regrettable but a normal result, if the ICO fail, it does not award prize winners. So if we want earn many tokens we must joined other campaigns of different projects, the social media etc too.
