McAfee is an exemplary loudmouth. His claim of knowing who Satoshi is should be overlooked. He's just seeking another round of attention from those who think he's relevant.

However, I don't think anyone will believe even the real Satoshi Nakamoto now if he comes out to make his identity public. The crypto world is already passed that worry now. I should believe no one truly needs that Satoshi distraction at the moment and Craig Wright who is making that claim is getting heavy bashing from the community.

Since OP is virtually a newer member of this forum, they may not understand the Yobit issue. Except something drastically good happened to turn around the bad reputation Yobit has built for itself both here and out there, the stench will continue to trail its path. Believe me, it's not a pretty sight to behold. Where do we even begin from? Is it from its reputation as an exchange for shitcoins or what?

I bet it that many posters wearing the Yobit tag know all these but are only interested in the payment they get from shitposting and spamming the forum.

OP, this is a bad advice to be taken hook, line and sinker. First, whoever wants to buy a dip should find out why the coin is dipping. This is very imperative. Sometimes we buy a dump mistaking it for a dip. You can't know the difference while it's happening. You might think you're lucky a correction is happening before you and want to take advantage of it  but not knowing that people are cashing out. It happened to me in 2017 with Regalcoin. I bought at $65 thinking it was a dip, not knowing the coin was dumping. And that was the end of Regalcoin till date.

Although I believe that the bull run will happen this 2019 because odd years favour cryptocurrency, we can not say for certain if that has begun now. In this speculative industry everyone gropes in the dark, TA or not. Fundamentals are more important in this industry than technical because a coin can dump (with bad news) as quickly as it pumps (with good news).

This is certainly not entirely true. Sometimes one hodls a crypto and hodls it onto worthlessness. Hodling a crypto does not actually give it any value. The market does. It's the forces of the market that fix the price of anything, cryptos inclusive, through supply and demand. So, it's important to observe news around any crypto one is hodling. If it's good news, keep hodling. But if it's news on scam, just dump quickly before the coins dumps on you.

And oh yes, altcoins are still very much productive. Some of them still give great ROI that surpasses what Bitcoin gives.

Hell, capital NO!

Price rise doesn't really connote potentiality of a coin. We have seen in the recent past where certain coins came crashing within 48hrs and were outremember. Does anyone still remembers Bitconnect coin, Firstcoin or even Regalcoin, just to mention but a few? For me, what makes a potential for coins is the Use-Case value. This is the factor for me. For instance, look at what BNB is doing. It has become the absolute coin for buying in any IEOs Binance does. BNB price will continue to soar because of this.

What people call real job is the 9-5 slavery, right?

This may not be necessary except they are family and friends or people you're trying to woo over to your line of business. Otherwise just do your thing. I am an online guy. I buy and sell Bitcoin to locals but there's a limit to how I speak about it to people. A musician doesn't need to prove he earns money singing, does he? No off course. Except s/he is bragging about it on musical vids.

Definitely, there are people here whose only source of income is this forum and they are making a kill out of it. How do you explain someone making over 70 meaningful and constructive posts a week if they aren't solely dependent on BTT? You can't have such ample time if you have other engagements. In 2017, earnings from signature campaign was sustainable and could put food on the table. Senior Member ranks earned between 0.018btc - 0.02 btc which was over $150 for making 25 posts weekly. It was a great period here. Wish those days would come back now  

You aren't alone on this. I don't like the idea of KYC too but that's the price we got to pay if the global/mass adoption we crave must happen. You win some, you lose some. I remember my first transaction on Changelly in 2017. It was expressly done. No KYC. All that was needed was an email registration. The same thing happened with Binance when it was newly established. I could withdraw my coins without a KYC validation. That isn't the case now. Sadly, we can't remain anonymous anymore.

No, not really. There is a big wall of difference between them. Apart from the name and where they are conducted - IEO on exchanges, ICO on open ground, the first is more organized and secured. I would participate in IEO and never in ICO.

The issue of price rise and dump after IEO is a normal thing in business. It's called profit taking. People sell off when they reach their profit target. It's not the same thing as what we have in ICO where devs abandon projects.

OP, may be we go begin track those people we suspect to be our Naija peeps and send them pms so they can know what we are doing on this thread. Abi how you want am?

I beg to defer on your list. I think most times it has to do with the ignorance of the bounty hunter rather than desperation or not owning the identity supplied. I got trapped once in this with Claircoin. It was an airdrop and at the end the bounty hunters were asked to provide KYC. It was mandatory and we had to do it just to get the reward or lose it.

I knew other exchanges were going to follow suit once Binance delisted it. It's a crowd mentality thing. Nobody likes being left out. But then what was Craig Wright even thinking acting that way, we may ask.

Oh, wait! CW could truly be the elusive Satoshi Nakamoto and we don't know it?

Sorry if you got stuck buying at that $3 ATH but I honestly don't think Ripple will get back there. At least, not this 2019. That was a hell of a pump and dump. Sincerely I don't even get the reason people are patronising Ripple. It's one of a bogus cryptocurrency for me, just like Dogecoin. I own a few Dogecoin but the don't have a single XRP. I hate coins whose supplies are in billions. It drags the price down.

There is still no guarantee that you won't be deceived even when you make your research. The way some of these rogue developers/projects mask their deeds is really a wonder. It's now luck to pick a credible ICO. May be one can get a credible IEO (Initial Exchange Offering) at present but not ICO. This is my mindset and I try to stay away from ICOs as distantly as I can. So, OP you may want to wait until they get listed on exchanges before buying. Even, most times the coins drop below ICO prices when listed.

No one was born a wise trader. That attribute of wisdom comes with years of learning and tweaking of skill set which must have experienced loss of trades before one got a handle on it. If one is scared of loss one won't have a grip on trading. It's a win or lose situation once it comes to business, trading inclusive. One good thing about cryptocurrency is that no loss is incurred until the crypto is sold. This is unlike forex trading where whether buy or sell one can make losses.

This is apt. That's the hidden hypocrisy that has always ruled this world. The poster didn't even justify his hatred for gambling from a moralistic perspective of self discipline but from the fear of loss. So, if he wins that means gambling should be applauded.

It's a good feeling to know that there are lots of my compatriots here in this forum who are proving themselves worthy of emulation. I duff my hat for you, OP. You better pass Amaechi and Wiki put together. I actually stumbled unto cryptocurrency in 2017 through a Bitcoin & Swisscoin advert I heard on a Port Harcourt radio - Nigeriainfo 92.3FM. I googled that for a week and then landed in this forum. So good so far.

I got to this thread when I traced the merit you gave me on a topic I started here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5107528.msg49639304#msg49639304

Naija, I hail o! We shall keep the flag flying and show the rest of the world that there are truly good people in Naija.

While picture 2 could be regular with us humans, picture 1 isnt certain where you have exclusive breast-feeding by mothers like we do in Africa. But believing 3 & 4 is assuming that every adult must have experienced sex before their deaths. This isn't entirely true.

I really don't think it's a good idea to be checking news site daily. It could mislead one into taking impromptu decisions. It did to me and I flashed out my over 250bnb coins at slightly over $2.50 in 2018 only for the coin to start a bull run within 2weeks after I sold to well over $28. Till date I still regret that action. If I hadn't been constantly checking, I would've missed that negative news on BNB and would still have had my coins or possibly sold at ATH and made more profit.
