the pandemic is still going on..

Let's talk a little bit about our steps in this difficult time..
like many airdrops that take place, do we still have hope and also believe in the existence of airdrops that are now starting to be offered on platforms or social media..
and what kind of airdrop has made you successful during this pandemic?

When it comes to airdrops, you will need to pay more attention to those offered by upcoming projects following a particular trend, for example NFT is trending now, airdrops towards that angle might help. I remembered early this year when Solana blockchain was gaining prominence, new projects were launching airdrops and out of those projects, the early ones like COPE and ROPE paid well until the trend kinda changed. So like I said, the idea is most times getting involved with them early, since most of them only focuses on airdrop and no bounty.
I heard Okex Chain is now launched, you might also want to start paying attention to the new projects which will launch on it, some might go for airdrop in order to create awareness. Also, with the market looking a bit good now, fomo will start building up and most airdrops will likely pay just like the beginning of the year.

Aside from Bitcoin (BTC), will long-term investments in the crypto space provide any guarantee?
Of course my question is based on some experiences that occur in the market.
My observations of crypto market conditions, such as there are groups or people who do things that cause the price of other coins to only last for a moment.

Please have a discussion that makes all participants gain new knowledge.

To the best of my understanding and experience, the answer is yes, but this comes with a big condition, the condition is, you must be holding or investing in coins that will make you stand a chance of getting a good reward in the future or getting the guarantee as you called it.
Let me start with coins like ETH, BNB, and ADA, these coins have been around for years, now assuming someone invested in them since two years ago, by today or this year, the person would be reaping a very good reward, because these coins are very good.
On the other hand, assuming someone invested in most shitcoins as of two or three years ago, of which many are dead already, the person would be in losses now. Therefore you can see that, it is very important for someone to first carry out his due diligence before investing in any coin, this will go a long way in directing the person, even if the person is in doubt, there a good number of coins at least within top 50 in coinmarketcap that are good for long term.
63  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How can prediction results affect the actual market? on: July 30, 2021, 10:08:21 AM
I've been thinking that now there are many market prediction projects. I'm using X predict market for example.

People will be able to somehow know the market anticipation in advance. Like will the price of btc rise or decrease?

But this information might change participators' choices again, how should we adjust our strategy according to this kind of information?

Many predictions projects? I don't think I have come across any or were you referring to predictions by experts and analysts.
Nevertheless, let me ask, all the prediction projects you came across with their scores of predictions, how many of those predictions actually worked? For a long time now, we have seen that predictions hardly work because of many market influences and factors such as fud, manipulation, hype and so on; all these plays a role in either pumping the market or dumping the market. Remember when Elon made a statement about Bitcoin and the market reacted by dumping and recently when a good crypto event was launched, the market reacted by pumping. I think the truth is, predictions might work but the influence is always small and most times it works if there is no bad news and vice versa.
Therefore, I don't think there is any prediction projects which can track the movement of Bitcoin or the market correctly, you just have to trade carefully or focus on good coins for long term.
64  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: A real alternative to Chia Coin? on: July 30, 2021, 09:58:04 AM
Maybe it is just me but most of these mining coins hardly gives good profits neither do some last long term. I think there was a time they were rampant of which many later turned scams. You have presented a different and better alternative to Chia Coin in your own understanding, and what if this one goes the way of Chia coin, which others have done.
Also, most times mining is not profitable especially when one considers the cost of energy and equipment, hence why it looks like only big organizations can do mining, and they don't mine any random coin but focuses on coins which can make them break even, coins that are always valuable and coins whose team won't just exit scam, hence why many mine Bitcoin.
65  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Coca-Cola gets into NFTs for charity on: July 29, 2021, 10:09:12 AM
This is getting interesting with each day, and just like that we are now in NFT trend and it's moving already. One of the factors which helps to push a trend is hype and adoption from either big players or big organizations, just like in the case of Meme coins/tokens where Elon musk channeled attention to Doge and it kicked off the Meme coin trend, and now Coca cola is getting involved with NFT which have the potential to start another massive trend.
Also, one of the good things about all these crypto trend is that, it helps to bring more attention to the crypto space which then results to more funds entering the market and maybe another bull run.
However, even at the midst of the hype and all whatnot people shouldn't be carried away and need to be careful of scam tokens which will start coming up sooner than later.
66  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Shiba Inu vs. Dogecoin. Who is the Lead Dog of the Pack? on: July 28, 2021, 12:45:13 PM
There are indeed many Meme coins or Dog tokens in the crypto space of which the first is Doge coin and it was the hype of Doge coin that caused the creation of a good number of them and while some like Doge and Shiba Inu are still standing and somewhat relevant, others are either struggling or gone.
Now talking about the lead Dog coin, I would say Doge coin, the reason is clear, it started the trend, survived many phases, and was later backed by a prominent person who drew attention to it, of which the attention made people to buy and the price skyrocketed. Shiba Inu on the other hand, is also good but kind of banked on the hype of Doge coin, thus I can give the second position, at least the community also are active and strong.
67  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best 5 Altcoins to buy right now. My picks on: July 28, 2021, 12:36:49 PM
Well, these might be the altcoins you want to buy at the time when this post was made of which the bulls were around, but nowadays I don't think I can go for most of them except the first one (DOT).
My reason is, NFT hype is very much around and it would be wise to follow up on time owing to the fact that attention will move to them or already on them. Moreover, I have started seeing some good news about NFT which can cause good hype and fomo thus skyrocketing the prices of NFT tokens that is, the good ones though. 
Least I forget, most of the listed coins are good no doubt but one need to be abreast of what's happening and the hype taking place now in order to follow up and make gains.
68  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Buying old coins: Is it worth it? on: July 28, 2021, 12:30:23 PM
With all of the hype surrounding "De-Fi" and NFTs, it looks like old coins like Peercoin, Primecoin, and Quark have been left in the dust. This is sad, considering that the aforementioned coins have a proven track record of stability and reliability. New coins are usually less secure than old ones. Despite the low interest/demand for old coins, they're still actively traded on the market.

I'm wondering whenever it's worth buying and holding old coins for the long term. Primecoin is one of its kind with a PoW algorithm that contributes towards the discovery of prime numbers. It's a pity other crypto projects haven't copied its model. Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Smiley

Actually I would say, before thinking of going this route of investing or buying old coins, you will need to understand the type of old coin you want and your speculation about it , thus I am in agreement with your first paragraph. Crypto most of the times moves with trend, and this is key to the growth of most coins we see today, and funny enough only newer coins tend to tap into most the trend at that point in time, hence why it looks like old coins like the one mentioned have been forgotten.
Therefore the reason why I started with, understanding the old coin you want to buy is to know if the team of that coin are a flexible kind, who can try their best to incorporate what is happening in the crypto space at that point, if the team are then it's worth buying.
BNB is a coin whose team are always ready to try new things, hence the reason it is still relevant and bigger than most old coins. Every team needs to understand this, add their unique features and see their token regaining its worth overtime.
69  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Does Altcoin season started again? on: July 27, 2021, 11:12:11 AM
Hello there,

What do you think about the altcoin season in summer and autumn?

There are a lot of factors telling us that BTC will grow much higher according to the fresh news:

Amazon,
Google,
Facebook
Tesla.


And a lot of other positive news for crypto.

Nevertheless this market is so speculative and unpredictable!

maybe you could give me your piece of advice and share your opinion about a situation on the market?


"Nevertheless this market is so speculative and unpredictable!"
That is just it, no one can predict the movement of the market correctly. However, there is a bit of confidence in the crypto market nowadays unlike in the past years, this I can say is because of the adoption crypto has achieved, the attention it has gained from top organisation, the investments from different big players and so on, so it means that, for it to achieve all these shows that more trust is being channelled to.
Yes there are many positive news but even at that, make wise investment decisions, don't go running after any token you see, do your research and invest wisely, remember what you said, this crypto space can not be predicted.
70  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: THE BULL RIDE OF 2021 on: July 27, 2021, 11:03:59 AM
Don;t miss-out. it is good to stay informed. if you miss the NFT and Defi of last year. don't miss this year's ride. we saw what Defi and NFT tokens did last year. some tokens did over 500 to 1000% within several periods LAST year, I strongly have a feeling that NFT GAMES will move the market again just like Defi last year.  currently, AXIS is leading the chase. be on the lookout and Remember.DO YOUR RESEARCH

I think I will begin by saying last year was more of DeFi while little was heard of NFT, and of course DeFi trend was  okay which saw many projects trying to blend in through bringing in one Defi services or the other, while it worked for others, it didn't work for some. Nevertheless, currently NFT is now being heard of hugely than DeFi which shows the trend has changed, and the growth of many NFT tokens is a proof to that. However, I like the part you said, "Do Your Research", because everyone knows that when a trend like this starts, scammers will always look for ways to leverage on the opportunity presented hence doing your research is always important.
Lastly, the market is not too good but who knows NFT trend can still be massive, since no one can actually predict this space.
71  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Dissapointments of the creation of the thousands of failed altcoins. on: July 27, 2021, 10:56:10 AM
There are indeed many altcoins created already but out of the great number of them, how many is even working, which then means that, creating a token is one thing but maintaining it is another thing, which is the most important. Many of these developers create these coins and tokens just to make money and nothing more, which is why they don't last long, while those team who understands that technology is one thing that evolves, grows and innovate always make sure they keep improving on their products and services in order to be relevant, this also goes to prove the reason why most coins and tokens drops from top 10 to 100 and others grows from top 20 to 10, it's all about innovation.
Take a look at Binance for example, does it look like the team are tired of bringing interesting services and keeping in touch with innovations and trend sweeping around the crypto space, this is what makes them relevant.
So until most team understands that there is need to improve on their road map so as to be in constant line with the crypto space and its trend, lack of improvements on what users want, promotions or social media activeness to keep getting more investors etc, their projects will keep failing.
72  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you invest in TRC20 tokens on: July 26, 2021, 05:00:53 PM
Really, much is not always heard about TRC20 tokens, almost all new projects always go for Ethereum and nowadays Binance Smart Chain because of low gas fee, hardly will you see any going for TRC20. In addition to that, a lot of TRC20 tokens are migrating to other blockchains which shows that Tron blockchain might have limitations which those projects are running from.
Nevertheless, there is a project I invested in months ago which is based on Tron, that is a TRC20 token, the name is Klever (KLV), and that token seems to be different from other TRC20 tokens I have seen. The reason I bought it is that, the team looks serious and they are building their own unique exchange, already have a mobile wallet application and currently developing their own blockchain.
73  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Campaign Token on: July 26, 2021, 04:52:07 PM
The average bounty allocates the most tokens for Twitter, Facebook, Signature, Youtube and Article campaigns.
is there a bounty that allocates higher tokens to the Signature campaign?

Token allocation I think depends on the bounty manager and how much of an audience he want to reach out thus setting out the specific campaigns he want and it's allocation, and this most times comes with limit in order to make sure that bounty hunters gets a fair reward.
But however from what I have seen so far, many times the allocation of signature campaign is atimes higher than others which i believe is because of the reach of signature campaign, even nowadays most bounty managers separate the campaigns, that is, having a different bounty campaign strictly for signature and another strictly for social media etc.
So answering your question, yes there are a good number of bounty campaigns that allocates a higher tokens to signature campaign, nevertheless it still depends on the team and the bounty manager and what they intend to achieve.
74  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What goes up must come down on: July 26, 2021, 04:42:50 PM
I think it depends on what you mean by "must come down" that is, in some cases it can be termed price correction, massive dumping or rug pull. Starting with the second type, that's the most terrible which is seen in a very big number of cases as well as associated with altcoins with no use case or pump and dump coins, so in this case once you are in profit, selling is very much adviced.
As for the first, it is normal and can be seen in mostly good coins thus providing entry for those who want to buy, because it is certain the price will increase again. Basing the comment on Bitcoin, anyone can take profit whenever they want but Bitcoin over time has shown that holders are actually better, those who have been holding Bitcoin for years now have gained a lot. Also, most times people clamour sell when in profit which is quite easier but how about buying back? That is quite tougher as most people do not get it lower, a good case is those who sold Bitcoin when it crossed it's ATH of 2018 last year, till date it hasn't dumped that much.
As for me, know what you want to achieve, that is long term or short term, also know when to take profit but endeavour to leave some bags and most importantly know that type of coins you hold, because not all that comes down must goes up.

76  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Suggestions for Long-Term Investment on: July 25, 2021, 09:01:49 PM
$10,000 in XRP and TRX? What makes you think they will give better reward than other coins? What if someone follows this advice or recommendations and it didn't work out, what will happen to the person? There is no doubt about the potential of both coins, but we can't be too sure of this space, we can't be too sure of predictions hence the reason why you should make your personal research on a coin before buying so that, if it doesn't go as planned you own up to it, learn and move on. Remember, both are dropping down on coinmarketcap with other strong coins beating them, which shows that, those other coins are working harder than their team.
Nevertheless, everyone knows the coins they want in their portfolio and investing what you can spare is the best way to get started with.
77  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Ethereum going to Die? on: July 25, 2021, 08:39:13 PM
I am a long term supporter  of Ethereum and  know that it is the most trusted network to create smart contracts but the kind of Huge fees for withdrawal and swapping of tokens, we have to nowadays due to slow network or congestion , is going to make it unpopular coin in coming months and other networks like, Binance, EOS, Polka Dot may take its place . The issue with Ethereum is that its developers are trying to scale running Blockchain which is like repairing a car while driving.


And what exactly will kill it when the team are always working. Scalability of a blockchain is not a small task and it is not done once but when the need arises this is because, at the onset the blockchain might not have enough load or projects, but as the network usage increases, the scaling the blockchain will come to play; this is what I see with the case of Ethereum blockchain.
The projects and DApp on Ethereum are much with many still coming in.
Remember, during the bull run months ago when most projects where moving to BSC network, it got to a time that congestion was such, the network was messed up and transactions were failing, this is a network which hasn't last for long facing such issue. So when you think of all these, then you will understand the reason why scaling Ethereum blockchain is taking time, moreover issue of gas fee has stopped since gas fee has dropped drastically.
Ethereum has come to stay because till date, it is the blockchain with that best smart contracts, at least a lot of blockchains are copying from them which means they are good.
78  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is USDT Tether safe? on: July 25, 2021, 08:22:37 PM
Irrespective of when this post was made, I have seen a lot people ask same question which also comes in different forms and most times the answer is yes. My own reason for choosing yes is this; USDT Tether have been growing in volume even in the midst of all the fud or whatever news surrounding them and the most interesting thing is that, a lot of blockchain networks now support it in order to make transactions cheaper, easier and faster. Now if it isn't safe, I don't think such integrations or support will occur.
Nevertheless, the word safe can be relative, that is, it is an already established fact that centralised coins and tokens comes with less security since the team decides the fate of all users, therefore when it comes to stablecoins most says DAI is quite better and safer than USDT. However, in any aspect, I would still say, USDT is safer moreover there are many stablecoins now and almost all are centralized with good trading volume.
79  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why Elon Interested in Dogecoin? on: July 24, 2021, 11:04:37 PM
As, we know that Btc & ETH are the top two Crypto in the market but I am confused why Elon interested in Dogecoin?

I think Elon musk interest and attention has been on Doge coin before now. However, Bitcoin and Ethereum can't be compared to Doge, that is, they are better and more trustworthy. Also, no one can actually shill Bitcoin and Ethereum they way they do for most of this Altcoins, Ethereum is backed by amazing technology so is Bitcoin, and the more people finds it interesting they more they Invest and the price keeps going up.
But in the case of Doge, there is no use case within it, and thus the best possible way to make it pump is through paying attention to it, pump it and cash out. This can be seen to be quite true because a good number of all these Meme coins are just for pump and dump.
So in my little understanding, the reason for more interest in Doge is for pump and dump, since it's quite easier.
80  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Uniswap discussion on: July 24, 2021, 11:00:45 PM
Uniswap is an outstanding DEX which has set the path for others to follow, and of course a lot of them are already copying from Uniswap. Also, for the fact that Uniswap found it worthwhile to leverage Ethereum network and even stick with it when the gas fee was crazy, shows the level of commitment from the team and this commitment was also seen in their V3.
Therefore, in all aspects, Uniswap is great, the team knows what they are doing hence the upgrades as at when due, and once Ethereum network gets it facts right about the high gas fees, I don't think most DEX will have any issue to bank on and compare themselves with Uniswap.
Thanks for this post, I believe a lot will benefit from it.
