This is a well development to the cryptocurrencies world these financial firm has finally reasoned to divert their portfolio to Cryptos having established the fact that cryptocurrencies has started revolutionizing  and boasting the financial market of digital currencies globally, involvement of these firms in trading digital tokens will consequently increase the popularity of Cryptos

This is a perfect opportunity for experienced programmers who has vast knowledge in  C++, python, solidity, goland e.t.c to divert to blockchain technology and smart contract it is quite interesting to see daily advertisements requiring expertise in those fields.

This shows that probably the resistance at $9K is very strong a pointer to that effect is that whenever the price enters that zone it retraces and again the same scenario repeat itself I am very optimistic that a positive fundamental news will break the resistance an possibly push up the price.

My first personal review on bounty is to know the campaign manager handling the bounty is he a reputable, honest and credible manager? of course a manager with a high integrity will not manage a scam bounty knowing that his trust will be questioned if the bounty ended up scamming the participants, more so  I read a lot about the bounty on google, read a lot of reviews before taking a final decision.

This is a well detailed price analysis of bitcoin, as it is now the bullish run is losing steam at a strong resistance at $9K if this resistance is broken there is the possiblity that the bullish runs might continue till $11K however the price might experience a pullback I.e the broken resistance turns support to trigger the bullish runs.

I always dedicate some time towards scanning through the alternative section to find details about new cryptos, forum members reviews and reading their ratings on the internet and their whitepapers,  what solutions is their project trying to solve in the society? having read and research through I will be able to choose and select the best ICOs.

The cost of living in different countries is subjective and varies according to how developed a country is comparing cost living of people in US to people in African obviously the difference is clear a lot of  people in developing or third countries lives in abject poverty while people in developed countries with a good standard and adequate infrastructures have access to good health, food e.t.c

Tokens can easily be earned by a newbie after participating in bounties without any investment however these campaigns entails working hard to promotes and advertise ICOs via social media of course for a newbie to earn a reasonable amount of tokens he must have a huge amount of followers in his or her social media account.

My trading analysis is based on both TA and fundamental analysis my opinion is based on the facts that every price movement of a Cryptos e.g bitcoin is triggered by a fundamental news while TA will indicates the appropriate time to buy or sell based on analysis and data provided by indicators although it might workout as planned everyday  but it's level of accuracy is perfect.

Whether we like it or not a person living a flamboyant life style will be questioned but how do we overcome such a scenario? I belief we need to convince people how Cryptos can turn  things around  as far as our fortunes is concerned and evidently shows all the proofs based on transactions recorded on the ledger of our wallets or else our source of wealth might be linked with illegal source especially drug trafficking.

Personally I cannot quantify the amount of tokens I have earned so far in bounties due to the fact that most of these tokens are in myethereumwallet and haven't hit any exchange to be sold off I am also sure  this is the same problem other fellow bounties hunters are experiencing.

Some of these forex traders are aware that some forex brokers had incorporated BTC/USD, ETH/USD LTC/USD and XRP/USD in their mt4 platform however many of these traders are scared to trade these Cryptos probably because of high spreads  just like commissions in exchanges and this could have discouraged them due to fear of losing because of the high volatility of Cryptos.

Emergent of bitcoin has revolutionized the way we earn online  while offering some services subsequently brought a hope of life for many people, a lot of opportunities is springing up daily thorough bitcoin and some people works as a full time bitcoiner and I hope this is sustained so as to encourage more people to bitcoin globally.

I absolutely agreed that money laundering had been existing before bitcoin, using anonymous transaction of bitcoin to launder money is also possible among criminals and drug cartels however where these unscrupulous people's bid to exchange these huge funds to fiat will definitely involves an insider (bank official) as accomplish who must be involved thus bitcoin transactions is exonerated from those shady deals.

I don't have any cause to regret whatever actions I have taken as far as selling my cryptos is concerned whatever my instinct tells me to do when l feel like selling off I don't hesitate of course I have a firm belief that there are better opportunities ahead well this a personal opinion.

Creating a new social media like Facebook or twitter is not a problem but how do we have millions of users like those social media? This a task that will hard to accomplish obviously its a good idea or way of bypassing sanctions against cryptocurrencies by those media, we need to advertise, promote and publicize cryptocurrencies aggressively.

It is a well known fact that before bitcoin there have been various ways by which terrorists and drug cartels laundered money illegally using western union money tranfer, moneygram, e.t.c of course because of the anonymity of bitcoin some scrupulous individuals had capitalize on that to perpetuate those crimes but the question is how do those involved exchanged those huge funds (btc) to fiat without suspicion from the authorities?

The Peer-to-Peer Cryptocurrency Exchange Hodl Hodl Doesn’t Require KYC

This week as people hear about the peer-to-peer exchange Localbitcoins requiring identification for traders who deal in “significant” trade volumes, many of them are scouring the internet in search of decentralized exchanges that don’t require Know-Your-Customer (KYC) verification. One such trading platform called ‘Hodl Hodl’ launched its beta version this past February allowing traders to swap cryptocurrencies without the need for regulatory compliance protocols.

The Peer-to-Peer Multi-Sig Escrow Exchange ‘Hodl Hodl’ Doesn’t Require KYC Verification

There’s a new peer-to-peer cryptocurrency exchange called ‘Hodl Hodl,’ a platform that launched this past February, allowing traders to trade digital assets without the need for a third party. The trading platform creates a multi-signature escrow system that sets a predetermined trading time for both participants. At the moment Hodl Hodl is in its beta form and only has two cryptocurrencies available for trade at the moment which include BTC, and LTC. The creators of the exchange state more features will be launched when the platform comes out of beta in the summer of 2018.
Hodl Hodl is very similar to Localbitcoins and the platform Bitquick as it allows deals between buyers and sellers. The trading platform does not require users to verify their identities. Moreover, there are many options available for payments such as Moneygram, Skrill, various credit cards, Venmo, Western Union, Alipay, and many more. In order to sell BTC or LTC, a user simply fills out the trade requirements which include location, the amount they want to sell, a payment window, and the payment type. On the buyer side, users choose which cryptocurrency trades and the specific requirements look enticing to them. For instance, certain payment options for purchasing BTC on Hodl Hodl are higher than other options available. Credit card purchases show a price of over $9,000 per BTC while other options are still a few hundred dollars more than the current spot price.

Peer-to-Peer Review and Reputation System to Curb Counterparty Risk

Because the platform is still in beta users can experiment with the Hodl Hodl testnet exchange first. When the peer-to-peer platform comes out of beta, the exchange will be charging a maximum of 0.6 percent per trade. However, right now up until the beginning of July 2018 the exchange is waiving fees for users. Hodl Hodl claims they do not hold funds and basically provide traders with “secure multi-signature (P2SH) contracts, and you control the key to the funds in escrow.”
Additionally, the platform offers two-factor authentication (2FA), and a dispute resolution system as well. Hodl Hodl does not require KYC verifications but does have a trader review and reputation system. The exchange explains the rating system is used so counterparties can be trusted among other traders.  

“It shows whether he is fulfilling his obligations to other parties, whether he makes the payment fast, and whether he is responsive,” explains Hodl Hodl. “The Rating system is a useful tool for traders — it is information about how the trader behaved in the past and a reason/incentive to continue to act properly in the future.”

Hodl Hodl Doesn’t Leave Beta Until the Summer of 2018

Overall the Hodl Hodl system’s cryptocurrency trades function similarly to peer-to-peer ‘escrow-like’ trading platforms. Much like Bisq, Barterdex, and the other exchanges that facilitate trading activities without KYC in a decentralized manner — the Hodl Hodl platform doesn’t have a ton of action as far as volume. At the moment there are users selling BTC in various increments up to $10,000 USD, but some have caps between $300-1,500. The development team has explained that more cryptocurrencies will be added in the future alongside improving its mobile interface.
