A lot of alarm has been raised on shit coins which have become a concern to many in the crypto sphere, but i feel our attention should be on the shit developer rather talk about the shit coins. The reason why we have shit coins all over is because the number of shit developers has increased to the maximum, i guess it is time to begin to publish the names of shit developers on the forum in order to do some justice to the crypto sphere.
I think it boils down to the team, those who are making the project, those who invent and give the idea, and not blame the developers. Developers just code everything based on the requirements of the project, they don't have any idea if this is shit of not. I don't know if you have been in a software development, but let me tell you that developer just follow what the project wants. It's up to the CEO or some higher management want they want their project to be. Developers have nothing to say at all, they just code, then someone will test it based on the requirements, just saying.

https://www.boxingscene.com/andy-ruiz-i-talk-wilder-fury-fights-focus-only-on-joshua--142498Joshua admits he was distracted before boxing Ruiz by constant talk of what was a highly anticipated showdown with Wilder. The former champion answered countless questions during the buildup toward the Ruiz fight about previous Wilder negotiations, why Wilder turned down a four-fight, $120 million contract offer from DAZN and what it would take for them to finally fight. So it looks like Joshua learn from his mistakes during the first fight. He admitted that he was thinking ahead of the Wilder clash and the huge money in the table. But first, he needs to get that belt back from Ruiz and he should win convincingly so that he will be in the discussions with Fury, Wilder. It was really an eye opener for him, he shouldn't underestimate someone and overlook them and think that you can win easily and go on the next big money fights on the line. He looks very thin and light on that picture though, maybe he wanted to be quick, however, he may loss some punching power here and his chin might not hold up again if Ruiz could hit him up with hooks.

I did some reading on the Bakkt futures finally since its launching in a few weeks. Here is where I am confused.
These futures differ from the CME futures because they are physically settled instead of cash settled. So basically if someone holds the future contract till expiry they are entitled to an actual BTC instead of just the cash difference from the CME futures.
The BTC is delivered to the receipiant and HELD at the Bakkt Custody Service Warehouse. So it doesn't really leave Bakkt. I haven't been able to find out if the buyer will actually be able to withdraw from the warehouse and use the BTC for spending. This is where I am confused.
Because most futures if you exercise them, you are able to buy the underlying product. This is very common with agriculture futures. Anyone got more information?
I was under the impression that ICE will take care of the exchange service. So buyer will probably go to ICE first, but I do agree that it is very confusing. @Lucius, good question, all we can really do is to hope that it will really have a good impact in the price. But if the people have slowly accumulated overtime, we might not see that boost as everyone is expecting. Yes, this is long overdue, but I have a feeling that majority still thinks that it could have the same affect as CME and CBoE last 2017.

One example of blockchain being used by the Government of Canada, https://explorecatena.com/I don't know if this will bring boost in the economy, but this is one use case wherein blockchain technology brings transparency. There is also one thread that I saw https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5183058.0. It tells the blockchain hiring trends, as you can see it's already slowly creeping in the most developed and developing countries. Although adoption is very slow, but it looks like we are in the right trend and maybe down five years from now, it could significantly affect the economies globally.

Their domain address was registered 4 months ago.
I think they are trying to use Binance's name in order to get some visits and to attract some attention which gives a negative indication of a scam platform. Checking them site PLANS: 1% - 6% daily if you are active MIN INVESTMENT: $20 - MAX INVESTMENT: No Limit HYIP scam project There are a lot of channels on YouTube that promote those scammers, don't believe them. They're scammers. You will lose your 20$. Exactly, and I don't think they are related to Binance at all. They are just riding the popularity of the exchanges to attract noobs to join their HYIP project. Sorry, you have been busted here. And obviously, very young in the field but they really knew what they are doing here. This kind of projects can still get individuals to invest on them because there are lots of people who don't DYOR and gullible enough to invest because of the so called huge returns.

There's no reason now since the Tron is now dumped and not hiking for a quite period of time, the Justin Sun magic has no effect now and his actions and all advertisements has nothing to do with its price now.
You call justin sun's magic but that guy is always talking a crap. rather than focusing on the development and research of tron and justin always waste a lot of his money for nothing. People take their consideration from tron caused by investors need utility usage and they don't need garbage advertisement that wasted millions of dollars. Tron needs to restructure its company and justin is not suitable becomes CEO again. Lol, Justin Sun is a shilling God, however, I wouldn't say that he is wasting money for nothing, we don't know what's going on from behind so you can't blame him for throwing money around because he has a ton to behind with. Yes, it needs some upgrade though, for a coin to be really successful in this game, they need to evolved, specially in this bear market, wherein no one is making money. Tron for example is still down 93% from it's previous high and it might spike a bit, but after that, it's all sideways.

The people behind are very shady and we all know that when they fork from bitcoin they have the $$$ in their eyes.
So for me the halving will not have an effect on them. They could have hundreds of halving if they want, but people are not going to bite on it specially on how they call themselves the real bitcoin.
It could be pump, however, be prepared for the massive sell-off and the price pump because it would go on a downward spiral next.

You should provide a link as well. https://www.newsbtc.com/2019/09/11/popular-ico-gxchain-faces-apparent-chinese-police-crackdown/Its says allegedly, however, we haven't heard any official statement specially from GXChain, but definitely, it has already has an impact as the article says it plummeted 20% already and this is a bad news to the investors. I'm sure everyone here has some speculation that Chinese government is really anti crypto and that could be the main reason for them shutting down one of the most successful ICO in 2017.

No surprises here, I mean the the guys has been in the market for so long that he really knows how this guy play. And him being a social media influencer, he should tweet something positive like the exorbitant $200,000 claim and obviously, make him more money.
Oh and it supposedly wallet? Nah, I'll pass, just get a hardware wallet and you are good to go. And yes this is a paid advertisement so don't take it seriously.

If selfkey can really handle transactions without KYC then I am sure it will be a successful project. Currently, there are many people wishing to transact without KYC. they are afraid of providing KYC and their personal information and are afraid of being sold to terrorists. That is why the demand is very large.
I think there is no centralized system that does not require KYC, selfkey also requires kyc, but the process may be faster, I think many centralized systems want to use a system without KYC in each of their entities, but we also have to understand, KYC is also important for building projects, apart from the KYC abuse problem. Yes, selfkey still has KYC process but the processing would be so much faster. They have just actually added more banks in their marketplace. Imagine opening a real bank account overseas with just a few mouse clicks. I just hope more people would know about them though. Visited their website. https://selfkey.org/Looks very interesting specially for entities who wanted to open a real bank account offshore. I don't know about the legal ramifications though, specially the there are a lot of regulations coming around, FATF, travel rule, FINCeN. They are all over the place now and I'm sure SelfKey will fall under the definition of VASP so they need to be updated as well.

Yes, I prefer laptop. My country has a crappy internet and also expensive so I can only afford a pocket wifi. A pocket wifi needs to be connected on the pc by a cable while laptops don't. So when the internet connection is making me laggy, I need to move my pc which is very inconvenient for me when trading but if I am in my laptop, I just need to move the pocket wifi anywhere to get the connection smooth again.
On the contrary, I also have a crappy internet here, but a pocket wifi usually suited me best when I do trading. But yes, I prefer my old laptop though, it is still functioning as it was design so I don't want to buy a new one because it is still comfortable to me. I don't like trading with mobile, although there are a lot of big screen mobile phones, I don't feel relax using it specially if it involves money specially in our daily trading activity.

I've some concerns and queries, i observed that many altcoins even some major coins create fake volume, if a project is new and initially listed on a small exchange and create fake volume it's obvious understood that they're trying to get listed on coinmarketcap, but A coin which is existed in everywhere, even big exchanges but still they create fake volume on small exchanges, what this means? Why they do that? Is everything just done by exchanges or project itself, and also that makes a clear difference in prices as compared to official price of market that makes frustrated.
We have this so called P&D (pump and dump) groups. So this group will initially boost the price and it will look like a fake volumes or at least not organic. So obviously they do this to make more money specially from newbies who thought that the coins is having a parabolic run. They buy and when you don't expect the price suddenly goes down on a downward spiral. Or it could be the project themselves, trying to fake it out that investors are really spewing money making and maybe other investors would join the fun. If you wanted to know which exchanges are faking their volume, you can read the reports here. https://www.bti.live/reports-april2019/

^^ He could very well be ended up in the top 3 at the end of the year but winning another 1000 Masters to overtake Federer. The kid has so much potential specially how we fare against Nadal in the US Opens.
We all know that Federer selects tournament that suited him most, so I doubt that that he can sustained the number 3 spot if Medvedev enters a lot of tournament before the end of the year. He has all the advantages right now to be in the top 3. Yes, there's a possibility that he can get injured, but he is still young and can cope with the stress of everyday tennis.

China is all set to launch its own crypto currency for more than 1 billion of its population how will it effect the crypto market ?
They have been talking about it for years. And now they quickly realised that Libra is coming that's why they immediately announce their own crypto back up coins. But are the Chinese willing to invest on it wherein it is totally centralised? It won't affect crypto that much though, as far as I know this is offered to Chinese only. There is also another looming competition, as tether launches a Yuan pegged stablecoin, https://www.coindesk.com/tether-launches-chinese-yuan-pegged-stablecoin-on-the-ethereum-blockchain. Of course they don't want to yield control to their population specially when Chinese goes full crypto. That's why they have to make a move today with their own coin.

Hello people,
I have a lot of DOGE and I am thinking about changing it to BTC or should I wait. I mean does anyone have any predictions about the price. I do not want to make a mistake and sell everything and then be sorry in a few months? Thanks
Angell
Personally, If I'm in your shoes, I will move everything on bitcoin months ago. It's obvious that most altcoin investors are shifting to bitcoin to make money because the altcoin market is bleeding. The question is how much DOGE to currently have? I know that DOGE is not a shitcoin, however, if you are thinking of creating money in this market then it's better to shift them to bitcoin. This is just my opinion though, the final decision rest in your hands.

Just dont forget that Canelo is 7 years younger than Kovalev. This time more aged boxer doesnt means he is more experienced.
Couldn't be more true. Canelo has an incredible record despite still being under 30... 55 professional fights, only 1 loss by UD and two draws. Kovalev has been stopped twice by lesser men. He's about to be in for a world of pain. https://www.oddschecker.com/boxing/saul-alvarez-v-sergey-kovalev/winnerThe odds have just opened on the event, Canelo is 1/5 favorite to win, or 1/6 on some platforms. Canelo has been groomed by Oscar Dela Hoya very nicely, that's why he is the cash cow of today. He was relatively unknown when he fought Mayweather. But Oscar really knows that Canelo is going to be one of the best and now Dela Hoya is reaping the rewards. Eventhough he is the champion here, Canelo is the more complete fighter and even at a young age of under 30, has enough experience to beat Kovalev.

I have been a newbie for so long now it's almost a year, Some help me get merit and upgrade
you are really a strange member, if I give merit to you then I am considered a con artist. how could anyone dare to take that risk, there are several ways to get merit, at least be involved in scientific discussions in the forum and provide useful opinions. Scientific discussions... now we know where are the merit sources. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) The right way to get merits is by the quality of your posts, if you don't share your knowledge with the system you will not get merits at all. Bring some good quality posts, a good lecture to the users and voila, there you will get them. Lol at the scientific discussions. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) There is no secret here, prior to the introduction of merit system, there are a lot of quality posters already and they did nothing, same posting habits and same debates/discussions. The problem with newbie is that they really need to bounty hunt, then get out of the community without going around and learn some new things. That's why they can't engage in a proper discussion today because in the first place, they don't have the knowledge even if they have been in the community for the past 2 or more years. And that is why they don't get any merits at all.

I think 2017 was the golden year for Ethereum because that year ETH started with the price of $9 and finished almost $1K. Surely, people who invested in Ethereum made a huge profit. Now in 2019 Ethereum price dropped to $172 which indicates very poor performance from ETH. But, honestly, I take this positively because I believe Ethereum can hit $1K again in a year. So, buying ETH now would be surely profitable. Within mid-2020 ETH will hit $1000, mark my words.
Correct, was late on investing though, I think it was around $300-$400 when I did enter Ethereum's market. But it still gives me a good profit 2018 when it touches it's all-time-high. Those are the days. But we all know that Ethereum is still the best performing assets in altcoin. It went very hard just like the rest of the bunch, but it doesn't mean it cannot go as high as $1k in the future. It's just base on timing in crypto, right now though it is best to throw some money and put in Ethereum and just wait for it to bounce. It just needed once catalyst and maybe the plan Ethereum 2.0 in January 2020 will be the one.

Steve Bannon was just one of the Crypto currency friendly staff that was linked to Donald Trump at the start of his campaign, but those voices has gone silent as the President went into office. We thought those people would be at the tip of the spear, fighting for Crypto currencies, but they just dissapeared into the shadows, protecting their own jobs. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Correct, right after Trump's took office, he surrounded himself with pro-crypto personalities and we all thought that we are in the good hands. Unfortunately, it didn't happen but I'm sure they pitch bitcoin at least once to the President but he doesn't like it, so what do you expect? But it's good to hear people in the position saying positive things about crypto and who knows, he could be right because he see things that we average Joe's doesn't have any idea to begin with.
