61  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Jobless No More on: September 13, 2018, 05:02:06 PM
We know that there are many jobless people around world who’s suffering because they don’t have a job or they don’t qualified for the job they want.
if they know or someone introduce them about cryptocurrencies activities they have the opportunity to earn while at home or wherever they are, there are so many easiest ways to earn here , like Airdrops, bounty campaigns and many more, the only requirements here in cryptocurrency world is your knowledge and efforts,
no more resumes and any other documents to be needed.

When everyone knows about cryptocurrencies activities I think no more jobless people out there.
If one is jobless, this means that he doesn't have the necessary skills to find employment. He most probably can't read and write and has no idea about how to work with a computer.
Imagine the quality of work of such an individual - thousands of absolutely meaningless posts with bad grammar and spelling.
62  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to know if Bounty is scam? on: September 13, 2018, 04:58:15 PM
How do you know if it is a scam? Because I have encountered a bounty that let me finish all the translations first and didn't respond to me after I have passed it. I hope bounties will not be like this anymore because they demand and we did our part but they didn't do theirs. I hope you could answer my question.
I would recommend you to scan the team's activity in Telegram and other social media - if the information about the project is rarely updated and there are less than ~5,000 members in chats, it might be a scam.
Also have a look at ICO ranking websites (icodrops, icobench, etc.) and see how many points this or that project already has. If less than 2.5 it most likely won't pay you for your efforts.
63  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: How to pick best signature campaign on: September 13, 2018, 04:44:18 PM
What criteria do you guys use to pick your signature campaigns.  With some of them lasting 2-3 months it seems like a critical decision and I'm not quite sure how to go about it.  With all the scams out there I am fearful of picking a junker which not only hurts me but the people looking at my promotions.  I would like to have one picked out for when I switch over to Jr Member.  


I usually do some preliminary calculations before entering a signature campaign trying to figure out how many tokens I will earn and what real price they are likely to have.
Another important criteria is the overall interest in the campaign - I definitely wouldn't promote for a project with only 3 registered Jr. Members.
64  Economy / Economics / Re: important point on: September 12, 2018, 06:04:26 PM
government that prohibits bitcoin in some countries. If the government can accept the existence of bitcoin there are some important points in it:
* can pay off the "debt" of the country
* Improve the economy of the people
* Decrease in poverty level
I want to know what you think.
Crypto is not that very factor that can decrease poverty level - it is the systematic actions of the government that should lead to the improvement of economic situation in a country.
The debt of the country also has nothing to do with cryptocurrencies - it generally arises due to different reasons, so different actions should be taken to cope with this problem.
65  Economy / Economics / Re: Wise thing to do with your savings. on: September 12, 2018, 05:59:46 PM
I see that many of you actually liked the concept of 20 % method wherein you allot 20% of your earnings to be saved as emergency fund.
So I was thinking, if that 20% allotted will be invested in a time deposit kind of account, will it still be possible to earn as much or invest it in cryptocurrency? Or maybe just let the money sleep until such time you will need it?
What will be a wise kove to do with the noney you have saved up?
The best thing to do with one's earnings is investing in real estate in a more or less stable country.
The value of such a property is unlikely to go above several percent annually, but you can always be sure about the safety of your investment.
66  Economy / Economics / Re: Choosing the one | What I think! - Real Job or Full Time Crypto! on: September 12, 2018, 05:57:05 PM
The only reason why crypto could be better than full-time job is that it allows earning a lot of money in a quite small amount of time.
All these people who bought Eth at $10 and sold it at $1,100 (or mined btc in 2012 and sold it for $20k in 2017) spent a relatively small period of time for making the decision.
This is a kind of a lottery - and not everybody is eligible to winning it  Grin
(Personally I prefer holding to my regular job and doing crypto in parallel  Wink)
67  Economy / Economics / Re: hackers becoming smarter than exchanges? on: September 12, 2018, 05:52:52 PM
Well most of us here are already aware of the hacking activities of binance and bancor.They are taking practical measures to track down the culprits but the question on my mind is why could coincidentally both exchanges be hacked?

Suppose that hackers need certain technological capacity to be used for hacking a resource. So why can't they use those virus-infected computers simultaneously for several attacks?
Another reason might be that both these exchanges had similar vulnerabilities that simplified the breakdown of their protective system.
68  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hodlers will not change the world on: September 12, 2018, 05:46:18 PM
There are two opinions in the crypto world: some people consider cryptocurrencies digital gold, while others believe that cryptocurrencies will be used as means of payment.
 
The first idea is quite convenient. You can just do nothing. For the first time ever, doing nothing has actually become a heroic deed – people are proud to be hodlers, proud to do nothing with their cryptocurrency. But do you really believe this approach will change the world? Seriously?
 
Let’s be honest. Real crypto communities – there are few. There are few people who own cryptocurrency. The number is vanishingly small. Crypto prices will not grow while there are so few of us. The demand is just too small and there are no drivers of growth.
 
So, what should we do? Is there a reason to just sit and wait for cryptocurrencies to grow? I believe there is none. The only possible solution is that people actually start using crypto in their everyday lives. The number of crypto transactions should amount to hundreds of millions a day. Then, and only then, will cryptocurrencies grow in price.
 
People will say I’m biased, since I founded a project where you can sell and buy goods for crypto. Yes, it’s true. Still, I’m more interested in expansion of cryptocurrencies than in my project’s expansion. In fact, I founded it for one simple reason: I’m sure that hodlers will never change the world. But we will. We should just learn from the guys in our videos who pay with cryptocurrencies in everyday life and make cryptocurrencies valuable.  

Your biased attitude towards crypto is very well understandable - it is your business and your own way of making money for living.
Anyway, we should say thanks for this yet another attempt to draw crypto out of the pattern where it's regarded only as an investment. Bitcoin definitely should be given a more widespread use in our daily lives.
69  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Even the Politicians have secret investment in Bitcoin on: September 12, 2018, 05:42:08 PM
DO you know that even some of the so called politicians have secret investments in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies that no one may be aware of? I believe this is one of the reasons why some of them have double stand when it comes to taking decisions on the adoption or regulation of cryptocurrency. Some of them are scared of publicly supporting crypto. What do you think?
If they are investors themselves they might be afraid of adopting laws that substantially restrict the use and trade of crypto, as that indeed would hurt their interests.
BUT supporting crypto as a technology that could change the world should not be a point of doubt for anybody, even the politicians.
70  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who will benefit the most from bitcoin/cryptocurrency? on: September 12, 2018, 05:21:46 PM
I have a friend who is interested in getting into bitcoins but he does not have a lot of savings or any major investments. He also has a lot of debts to pay and has an average wage job with a family of 4 to raise. When we were talking yesterday, I thought: who really would benefit the most from investing in bitcoin or cryptocurrency? Can those who are like my friend get into bitcoin even though he has no major investment? Or is bitcoin only for those who can afford it?
Sorry to say that but it seems that your friend will not be able to afford at least a couple of btc and benefit from their skyrocketing in the long run.
Instead I would suggest investing in cheaper coins and get this lesser but more stable profit from daily trading, for example. Just help him with the basics of trading and let him invest, say, $100 in the first run.
71  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: will bitcoin become obsolete? on: September 12, 2018, 05:16:39 PM
Analysis : Blockchain, the technology behind Bitcoin, is predicted to be the leading technology in the future, but this technology will become obsolete.

Is it possible that bitcoin will be obsolete in the future?
The technology behind bitcoin is rather young and is still waiting to be implemented in various spheres of our life.
Recently I've heard about the intention of one of the countries to use blockchain for elections - wow, isn't that the true purpose of a system that can't ever be modified?
So I don't think that "obsolete" will be related to bitcoin in the nearest several decades.
72  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Market is down. on: September 12, 2018, 05:11:47 PM
This year has been a bit challenging for bitcoins as well as Ether to survive. Bitcoins are facing a quite low price now and also i think that most of the investors have taken their money off bitcoins.


We all know that bitcoins really pumped a lot in 2017 but from the starting of 2018 bitcoins are low. A lot of FUD was been created and bitcoins really faced a lot of difficulties. Price for bitcoins at the starting of 2018 has been low similar to the year 2017.
I really hope that the price for bitcoins can again show us immense growth as it showed in 2017.
I still can't figure out the feelings of people who bought btc when it was around $20k.
What made them do such an unexpected investment? Did they really believed the technology or this was just an impulse they are regretting now? And how much time would take for btc to reach at least the level of late 2017?
All these questions are so hard to answer..
73  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Russia is about to be friends with cryptocurrency! on: September 06, 2018, 07:38:30 PM
Russian government believe that it is necessary to legalize operations with cryptocurrency. They say that it will help the state to fight illegal money transfers. Moreover, central bank has the same opinion but with the condition of creating own russian cryptocurrency. What do you think about it?
Russia is about to become foes with US dollar and euro, there are rumors that its banking system can soon be disconnected from SWIFT.
Crypto in such a situation can become a new way of attracting extra funds to the economy. Though I wonder how all this would look like - will russian government just buy all the available bitcoins with the aim of selling them in favorable market conditions or it will simply impose a tax on all operations with cryptocurrencies  Huh
74  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if Government bans Bitcoins? on: September 06, 2018, 07:04:25 PM
Looking at the decentralized nature of crypto-currencies,Wonder if govt bans Bitcoins in future??Is it possible let's say by blocking all sites which relate to Bitcoin wallets/payments etc over the internet.In that case what would happen to our existing coins held in those wallets??
Nothing would really happen - everybody knows what VPN is (look at Iran where Telegram is banned - the iranians are still widely using it as a source of news and trading activities).
It is almost impossible to somehow restrict the payments made in btc since there is no way to unclose the identity of a payer.
So no worries, even if bitcoin is banned in certain countries it will still be widely used.
75  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I bought bitcoin at $20k last year on: September 06, 2018, 06:56:41 PM
I got into the bitcoin again last year after losing all my 4.5 bitcoins to ponzi schemes early last year. I bought in bitcoin again at $20k. Now bitcoin is $6k+.  I'm regretting my actions.  Huh
Now you have nothing to do but to wait until bitcoin is pumped again like ot was in late 2017.
Would you agree that it's a silly desicion to sell btc now and lose 75% of your investment?
So just hold and wait - something great should happen by the end of this year when whales will all have to buy Christmas presents for their beloved ones  Wink
76  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will banks ever offer bitcoin deposits? on: September 06, 2018, 06:21:20 PM
We all know how risky bitcoin is. Let's imagine the most riskiest money deposit situation.
What do you think guys, will this moment ever come and banks decide to offer us Bitcoin deposits (e.g. fixed profit on 1 year deposit and etc).
This can be very, very profitable for banks if they make correct decisions.
P.S I don't mean freebitco.in's offer of holds on their wallet. I mean if official banks ever offer us this service.
Okay, imagine you've made such a deposit on a bank's wallet or something like that. You gave them, say, 1 btc worth $10,000 at that very moment of time. In a couple of months the market faces bull run and your 1 btc is now worth $50,000.
So my question is as follows: wouldn't it be better to keep your bitcoins as your personal investment in your wallet and do whatever you want with them?
77  Economy / Economics / Re: how to save money? on: September 06, 2018, 06:05:09 PM
here are the simple steps to save money:
1. You must record all your expenses
2. Make a budget for all expenses
3. Start planning on saving money
4. Choose something to save for your money
5. Decide on your priorities before spending
5. Make saving as a habit
6. Watch your savings grow.

any suggestion on how you save your money?
You have a point with your recommendations, but I think the best way of saving money is earning more than you feel free to spend monthly.
When I started working 10 years ago I earned just the sum to spend for home rental, food, clothes and a bit of entertainmemt.
Now I earn several times more and can afford both paying for my living and saving some free money on a deposit account.
78  Economy / Economics / Re: Friends reactions to crypto currencies? on: September 06, 2018, 05:56:03 PM
I was questioned on crypto currencies legalization. I explained the facts happening around. Few received it with convincing reactions and few just ignored it. I really felt bad for the guys who did not care about crypto currencies as I really know the fruitfulness? I happily taught few others about crypto currencies. What was your friends expression when you introduced bitcoin to them?
All my friends feel sceptical about bitcoin and crypto as a whole. Nobody would want to invest and play on this constantly fluctuating market and lose their savings. Still they agree that crypto is a revolutionary technology (it seems that I managed to give them a brief and persuading description of how it all works  Roll Eyes) and totally agree about the right of other people (and me in particular) to take our calculated risks.
79  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin and Economy on: September 06, 2018, 05:42:39 PM
We all know that the development of a certain country comes from the taxes of its citizens, and we all know people who engage bitcoin don't pay taxes to the government, what will happen to a country where 80% of its citizens engage in cryptocurrency?

There is a big possibility that this things might happen In the future because bitcoin is growing faster and very known today.


Not paying taxes by 80% of the country's population would lead to a catastrophe in all spheres of life.
There would be no new roads, schools, public areas, transport, etc. Both urban and rural infrastructure will be gradually destroying and there will be chaos in the streets because of lack of money to pay to police and other law enforcement bodies.
I just wonder is that really the price people wanna pay for the unlimited use of cryptocurrencies?
80  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Token goes down. Wait or sell? on: September 05, 2018, 06:37:51 PM
Hello everyone!

We all know that the situation with market is not that good as we want it to be. Thus it affects a lot of ICO projects. On the one hand people don't invest in coin so much money as they did last year. On the other bounty hunters sell tokens fast and the price goes very low. That is why some projects prefer list their token on Idex first. They want to see how a coin plays on market.

And what investors should do in such situation? Sell all they have for small money or wait until a token will go up?

I'm asking as a person working in such project. After ICO token price went down (KCY, I'm sure you heard of it). And It is interesting to know investor's opinion about such situation.

What is your idea?

 
If the token has gone far below the price that you expected I would recommend waiting.
Before you bought this token you might have set a goal of profit, so if you failed to reach at least that setpoint the best choice is holding until the market recovers.
