I prefer buying coins that are already on top of the market, they have proven themselves, and there is always volume and they can sustain their project even in the bear market, it's hard to test a new coin right now because you are likely to lose a lot, you are gambling if you invest heavily on a new coin, although you could be in a jackpot also once it turns out to be great.

Hey OP, I just wanted to give you a suggestion. If you are going to start posting on mainboards then having English knowledge is important because if people can't understand what you are trying to say then you will never get noticed even if you are highly knowledgeable related to crypto kinds of stuff.I can see lot of breakage on your sentences hopefully you will learn grammar to make more constructive replies if you wanted to build your reputation here.
I got his point even if his English is not that great but still, I can understand it and got his point in my level, compare to other spammers who dod not contribute to a topic or creating a redundant thread, this one deserves attention and credit, he has a good point and I agree that newbies should build his reputation as a good contributor, though he can wear a signature while building one's own reputation.

The advent of Bitcoin's blockchain technology has opened up a world of possibilities that were never imagined. People can finally achieve financial freedom by being their own bank anytime, anywhere. In 2017, there was the ICO boom where crypto land was filled with hype with many companies launching their own business ventures. Everything has been about smart contracts, on-chain privacy, and Blockchain-based gaming. But ever since prices started to decline back in 2018, there has been a lost of interest into crypto and Blockchain tech from people in the mainstream world. It's now 2020, where many exciting events are yet to come. Bitcoin will experience another reduction in its block reward (halving), while Ethereum becomes closer to adopting PoS into its blockchain network. The space is definitely maturing, but the level of demand is still a lot less than it was back in 2017. Nonetheless, I'm curious to know what's the next big thing in crypto? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) The next big thing that I can think of is the coming Facebook coin Libra and China's coin that both are going to launch this year, what could be bigger than this, than two of the most powerful entity online and offline adopting Bitcoin and will try to be one of its main players in the industry.

It's now 10 years since Bitcoin was created, yet many people are wondering who Satoshi Nakamoto might be. It's still today, where the creator of Bitcoin has hidden his/her identity well from the general public. All attempts in finding who created the world's most popular cryptocurrency have failed so far. But we all know that there's no such thing as 100% anonymity. A slight error in covering tracks, could expose your identity within the mainstream world. Now, imagine if the real Satoshi's identity is found. If he/she is still alive, governments would be on his/her tail to put him/her in jail or even pay a hefty sum of taxes. Once this happens, Bitcoin might fail within the mainstream world. Of course, the community is what makes Bitcoin great. But I'm sure that the reveal of Satoshi's identity will have an influence (either positive or negative) over the cryptocurrency's price and reputation worldwide. What are the odds of Bitcoin's survival once Satoshi is found? Will it continue to operate as is? Or will it fail in the long run? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) It will survive 100% the system is in place and so many people had stakes on Bitcoin and adoption is now widespread that even Nakamoto is found it will not have an impact at all, we are good to go without him anymore, it's great if we found him he can promote Bitcoin further but it will not be going to harm Bitcoin anymore, just because he surface.

I stupidly lost ~$3000 in a crypto currency scam.
I am an idiot.
I'm upset that I lost my money but I could have lost a lot more. I'm mostly just embarrassed. I'm a Software Developer at a large tech company and even used to work at Geek Squad so I am very familiar with these kind of scams. I never thought something like this would happen to me because I consider myself very tech savvy consumer.
We can briefly describe this case as an idiot move (which he himself admits), and to make the situation even worse he is "a Software Developer at a large tech company" who is "very familiar with these kind of scams". Really unbelievable, if this is true he didn't deserve to lose just $3000 but a lot more, and if I were his boss he would have gotten an immediate dismissal from the company. If he is able to make such a financial loss to himself, what damage can he do to the company? Imagine a situation where someone who claims to be working for the company is contacted him ask for some code, he would probably pass it on because he's not aware of the fact that phishing/fake sites/e-mails/twitter are common things these days. I read that he did not verify if the giveaway is legit, so he let his greed gets the best of him and you are right he should know better, imagine if these scammers can victimize, a developer like him expect greedy newbies to fall for this, the giveaway is a big news now, I have read so many similar threads like that, is he not updated on the trending scamming.

I will leave that bounty. Because without update I can't continue my work.Because this kind of project turned to scam or failed (Majority percent).Also few managers are lazy and not responsible that’s why it happen.
We have different take on this, I'm ok with only updating on a weekly basis, they don't have to, as long in the final tally and stakes distribution they are all correct and within the time frame of the promised distribution, I have encountered a bounty campaign that counted the stake in the last week of the campaign, but they all counted it right and distributed ahead of time.

Stedsm, this is nothing new, is actually a very old method that was once used by e-mails, and today scammers use social networks like Telegram, Facebook or Twitter. Unfortunately, there are a lot of naive people being fooled this way, which just shows how dangerous social networks are and that they should be used with great caution.
I stop using Telegram, never used FB, and Twitter is something I use very rarely. It's not because I'm afraid someone will cheat on me, there are simply too many scammers who send messages every day that it becomes quite disturbing. The best way to answer them is to report to a competent abuse service, which is not a permanent solution, but still makes it a little difficult for them to do their dirty work.
Almost fall to that one but I have seen warning here in Bitcointalk, it's not really new we have threads like this in the scam section, that is why some telegram channels and groups always make a pinned post that they are not going to be the one to message people, I'm still using Telegram but I do not waste time on these people, because they have been exposed, some of them even act like newbies asking newbie question to get your trust.

Over the years of using cryptocurrencies, Metamask has become the most convenient option for me. The interface allows you to access and generate an unlimited number of wallets. It is also convenient to connect to dApp through it without the need to enter private keys.
Mertamask is a big help for those using decentralized exchange, and it's very convenient to create a wallet here, the developers should address this issue and request Google play store to consider this decision, I have been using this since it's creation and I have seen any issues or complaints on it, and if Google will not allow it, then better create a better option, or a good alternative if there is, or if they can create one.

Honestly 2019 was a dull year wherein neither lose much nor gained much. The only success story which I have for this year is the profit earned through BNB as I had invested some remains from major coins like bitcoin and Ethereum which I had converted into BNB which gave me 100% profit.
I don't have much on ICO because the majority of the campaign I've joined are all trash as investors and bounty hunters, the only success story I've had is the Yobit campaign where I'm getting Bitcoin on a daily basis, just enough to get as many Bitcoin as I can for the coming halving I'm hoping what I lack success in 2019, 2020 I will have more of it.

Any one of you who knows what bounty campaign is a must join?
Yobit is a must join campaign and sites like Chipmixer and other campaign-related to gambling sites that pay Bitcoin in a weekly or daily basis are must join campaign, compare to ICO campaign where you have to wait for months and hoping for the coin to have value, those who are joining ICO campaign are just no options and they are just gambling and hoping to get rewarded for their efforts.

Planning is very different from implementing, now that he has launched his plans he deserves not only a flag but a red trust as well, this is not the right place for anything HYIP or Ponzi scheme, he should know this is if he is just roaming around the forum and check the scam sections all topics about HYIP are all landed here and those who open a tag will get there account tagged.

What are you going to do with 2020, give up or continue to survive.
None of these has my option which is reaped or harvested, this is the year that are going to reap what we've worked in the past two years, so many times happen in preparation for 2020, in the last two years, this is not the year to give up, you could have done this last year but now, we are just starting our journey.

Bad news guys and girls, I'm getting a 504 Error again.
Try it again, just like others me as well can verify that the site is working and not showing any error message. If you have doubts with them now, you should move your funds somewhere you are confident with. Better doing that instead of worrying about your funds if you have it inside this exchange. There's always other options that you can take if you don't feel secure with such exchange then moving your funds is the best option for your money. There's no conclusive information regarding to this claim and the site still working. I have not made an exchange on Graviex, although I have an account here, but it's a cause of alarm, every time there is the news of hacking or exit scam, is a cause of alarm in the community, with this kind of news about that exchange it's better to get your funds out there, we should monitor all the activities of the exchange that we are using.

can someone check this site? about the 2x fold prize of ETH. if someone sends 0.5 ETH to their address & will get a bonus 2x = 1 ETH https://mixineth.com/2x bonus will be sent to the address that you entered or that you want from ETH. Are gifts like this true? Common sense will tell us that this is a Ponzi scheme, they will just get rewards to other people's Eth that will come in after you if they are going to pay you at all, this is a big no-no, it's more like a gambling where you are going to bet or send and hope and pray that they will give you what they promise and 0.5 is not a small amount to gamble, so better forget it.

There is no time frame involve when will Bitcoin price will surge, so if you are in a hurry to sell and sold your coin in a wrong time you will be sorry, you have extended your research for the past two years so why extend another year more, long term holding is not only about months, it's all about the right time and it could be years.

I’ve been into Bitcoin since 2014. It’s always been my main thing, however I’ll admit I got swept up in the 2017 cycle and got burned on quite a few projects. I eventually consolidated back to 100% bitcoin.
Now I find myself in a situation where I really believe in Ethereum as the only other viable project. I’ve been accumulating Ether to the point where now I’m 80% BTC, 10% Eth and, 10% USDC (prepared to buy more BTC when the time is right).
I’m preparing for Eth 2.0 staking. I see all the Defi projects built on Eth. The stablecoins, the ecosystem. If Eth fell, it would bring a huge chunk of the crypto market down with it. So for this reason, I can’t see ethereum really disappearing. It’s the only crypto that I’ve actually used (I bought something with USDC, an ERC-20 token).
That said, I am concerned about those stolen $100million in Eth. That can depress the value of Eth for years. I’m concerned about the constant hard forking, the constant delay of Eth 2.0, and the general amateurish feeling of the project. I hate that Vitalik, and the ethereum foundation dumped their bags on people at the ATH.
Part of me wants to just sell my Eth for BTC and not look back. Another part of me wants to keep buying Eth as it goes down.
Any intelligent insights on this forum? Not a pissing match, not a shitcoin shill session. Just honest feelings about Ethereum from other veterans in the space.
Actually 10% of Eth in your portfolio is still low, even some bad things are happening on Ethereum, we cannot take out the fact, that this is the first smart contract, transaction is fast and cheap and most of all so many tokens are relying on Ethereum smart contract, but of course, as a holder your analysis is the on thing that matters, whether to sell or to hodl.

The person who introduced me to the bitcoin usage instructed to hold as much possible. Myself kept trying to hold bitcoin, but it is truly hard to keep hold until we reach the aimed target. In between used to encounter some financial difficulties and I wasn't able to keep the holdings for a long time.
There are a lot of obstacles from holding our coins for too long, one of this is greed when seeing profit we are tempted to sell, and another one which is compelling of all is financial difficulties, I can stop myself from selling because of the profit, but I cannot from financial needs.

Bitcoin keeps going down and forecasts of a rebound don't fulfill anymore Cryptocurrencies should be moving beyond from being just value storage. Real functionality is needed.
Blockchain technology is well positioned to be the next level of money evolution But governments are starting to implement it because they know it can save their ailing printed money
Rebound it's too early to tell we, should not give up on Bitcoin and the market this early if you want to give up, then give up on your own, blockchain technology is really here to stay but Bitcoin being it's the first product, it's success is also the success of blockchain, the technology that created it, so it goes if we want this technology to succeed, then we better go all out for Bitcoin.

Price fluctuations may be an indicator of investor sentiment. Hashrate, though, is often seen as the better market number to watch in order to truly evaluate Bitcoin adoption, and recent hashrate statistics indicate that adoption continues to grow.
By all accounts, Bitcoin has had quite a tumultuous year. After starting the year more than 80% down from its all-time high, BTC recovered significantly before once again losing several thousands of dollars in value.Source link hereFor me, I think this could be another "unsure" prediction or analysis.
Although the hashrate of Bitcoin has increased significantly, this isn't guaranteed that Bitcoin will be having a big bull run when halving draws near. Remember that there are still scammers out there like PlusToken, lurking from the shadows, waiting to strike when BTC moons, then they dump a lot of their assets to bring the market down again. I can't be sure if the increased hashrate of Bitcoin would really become "bullish" because the market today is so unpredictable. What do you guys think? It really is unpredictable, people investing and those who are promoting should only remember one thing, ignorant of how the market functions will get you in big trouble and also ignorant of not knowing how and where to invest will end you up with nothing, it's your money, it's your key and it's your fortune, so be sure to read a lot and get a hold of what's happening.

The Hong Kong Police, working with China, has frozen a major fund that was intended for arrested and injured protestors. The case for financial freedom with Bitcoin has never been more clear.
Bitcoin’s popularity always seems to spike when people’s wallets are directly affected. Throughout 2019, we’ve seen multiple fears of bank runs and ATMs running out of cash during crises. In October, BeInCrypto reported that Chilean ATMs were reportedly locked during a state of emergency. That same month, Bitcoin trading volume ballooned as Hong Kong residents found themselves locked out of ATMs.Source link hereNow that their funds were locked out, I think it's time for them to take Bitcoin seriously.Storing them in banks is such a bad idea, especially if they are using it for protests. If they could have stored it in Bitcoin, the police and government cannot stop them as they do not own or control the blockchain technology. Bitcoin took out the third party or intermediary in peer-to-peer transactions, and this is what Hongkong protesters should need if they want to keep their funds safe from being frozen. This is Bitcoin's time now. We're not just focusing on the price itself, but how can it be used without the risk of having our funds frozen. What is happening in Hongkong and especially with that scenario is a good example of government-run investment forcing its people to follow them in exchange of not touching their funds in the bank, because the government knows that if you touch their money it will have an impact on their lives, investors here will think of Cryptocurrency option now, and this is an example why people should not put all their wealth in banks.
