I nearly felt victim of such a trick embarked upon by scammers while checking my mails I saw a link from MEW asking me to claim  some of my tokens fortunately I have read lately from this forum of phishing sites used by scammers to hack into people's account I promptly deleted the link to avoid touching stories.
6122  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: SAFE TRADING METHOD on: March 05, 2018, 09:36:13 AM
I think the most secure trading is to use some money from trading capital and use money that will not be in use for the near future,
for example I have $ 1000 and I need to use the money for my family's living needs, then I can use $ 250 for trading and the rest to survive, do you mean from this revelation?
this method is used so that you are not too depressed if the money you have stuck in the expensive price.
The question is that do you have a trading strategy? Did you practice trading (demo) and making consistent profits?  If your your answers is yes then you are good to go but  remember to use only 5% to 10% of your investment to trade.
6123  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading don't work for me too well on: March 05, 2018, 09:27:00 AM
Have lost so much money on coins that doesn't work well for me. I know I'm being impatient and ignorant this maybe a good time to find some insight and good answers on how to get better
Trading Cryptos requires patience the basic thing is to have a good trading strategy and belief in your strategy having demo trade and consistently making profit before going live, it is not advisable to jump from strategy to another and also trade with the amount of money you can afford to lose I.e always trade with a stop loss to avoid losing all your investment.
6124  Economy / Speculation / Re: 2018 good year or bad year for Cryptocurrency ? on: March 05, 2018, 09:20:09 AM
Do you predict crypto to get to new highs or the opposite ?
I speculate a sharp decline on Cryptocurrency specially  Bitcoin this year.
Call it a inner feeling.


It is still the first quarter of 2018. We already saw that most of the price of cryptocurrencies were decreased. Even the price of the bitcoin decreased so much in the first quarter of the current year. I am sure that the bitcoin will overcome this challenges and obstacles.
Yes, the year has just began and we had witnessed sharp decline in the prices of cryptocurrencies particularly bitcoin I believed this is attributed to many FUDs  e.g Chinese holidays which has ended, and invariably bitcoin is gradually picking up, we still have more days ahead and the future is absolutely bright as far as cryptocurrencies is concerned.

This statement made by Bill gate will have negative impact on the clamour for decentralized transactions, many countries will use this press release and takes more actions in regulating or  outright ban on bitcoin, the basic fact is that before bitcoin money laundering, fraudulent activities and drugs business has thrived on, InterPol should strength up their networks to arrest those that perpetuate those criminal activities.

i am looking for a practice
account
to do simulation or demo trading
to try new techniques
anyone suggest a good source
please and thank you
Demo trading using  mt4 forex brokers is more preferable because of the ability to use customized indicators as far as technical analysis is consigned, unfortunately these brokers have few Cryptos instruments for trading.

That amount is purely exaggerated although it is a well established fact that scammers are the prowl on daily basis mostly hackers who stealthily hacked into people account this mostly common with MEW users with daily growing complaints of scammers using phishing sites to obtain users detail especially private keys.
6128  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading FOREX or Crypto? on: March 03, 2018, 04:36:00 AM
Forex and crypto trading are quite similar but the former looks more popular and stable in terms of volatility while the latter is not quite popular but very volatile, if you can transfer your expertise in forex trading to crypto I am convinced it is going to work out perfectly  and as well earn well although it is better to demo trade first before investing into it
6129  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is there any ways to avoid non paying bounty campaigns? on: March 03, 2018, 04:21:49 AM
Hi every one. I just wanna ask if , is there any ways to prevent or minimize the nonpaying bounty campaigns?

I joined a lots of bounty campaigns here on btt recently but I have encountered  bounty campaigns never paid the bounty hunters at the end of the campaign period. Not to mention these projects, some of them are now scam, but some of them are now very successful after the campaign, and  they forgot to pay their advertisers at the end of the bounty period. As a bounty hunter like me , its very important. Its really pain when you are advertising an ICO for month/months but in the end you got nothing. As of now, I only joined a bounty campaign which handled by bounty manager with good record here.
Quite difficult indeed to know which bounty campaign will pay or not at the end of their ICOs infact this is the most difficult part of bounty hunting, as you have rightly said a reputable bounty manager will be factor to be considered before applying in a bounty campaign.
6130  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Upcoming Bounty Campaigns on: March 02, 2018, 03:15:05 PM
Try and check ubonium bounty campaign which was just launched by manager aTriz it is a 9 weeks campaign one of the biggest ICO with $15M bounty to be shared, I hope you have a better chance of joining after the completion of your present bounty campaign.

Most bitcoin users in Nigeria use foreign exchanges for their transactions bypassing the local exchanges due to the constant threats by the central bank against the local exchanges e.g NairaEx however majority of the users mainly use  bitcoin for trading purposes not ponzi schemes as stipulated by CBN many Nigerians have access to binance, poloniex, localbitcoin, paxful and they also have access to a local forum where private transactions is carried between invididuals.

The situations of poor people can so pathetic that they don't have access to any tangible thing that can turn round their lives, the poor will only think of how to get his/her daily bread, making them literate and having access to internet is another area where the government had failed due to lack of basic infrastructures that had not been put in place.
6133  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: encourage others to crypto on: March 01, 2018, 12:01:19 PM
It has been a herculean task for me to encourage people around me to use Cryptos due to their past experiences in the hands of scammers using MMM as an example, people were initial paid with bitcoin before it was stopped and personally I have enlightens many people why they need to invest in Cryptos.

The court ruling is a welcome development for bitcoin, some unscrupulous individuals in russia had capitalized on the decentralized feature of bitcoin to perpetuate criminal activities, but the court had vindicated those sites on free flow of information related to bitcoin and freedom to disseminate news about bitcoin.

6136  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: KYC - Passports and documents for sale on Dark Web on: February 28, 2018, 02:24:44 PM
It is always risky to submit scanned IDs of individuals to scamming ICOs in the name of verification I.e KYC a lot of scammers now devises every possible means to trade with people's identities, you don't just give out your identity in the sake of investing in fake ICOs whose ulterior motive is to steal people's documents using darkweb
6137  Economy / Economics / Re: let us promote BITCOIN on: February 28, 2018, 10:23:19 AM
Bitcoin has been well adopted in the developed countries but it's acceptability in the developing countries is still lagging partly due to high level of illiteracy and poor internet services, promoting bitcoin here requires public enlightenments personally I took it upon myself to give public talk about bitcoin, how to use it, benefits obtained from using bitcoin
6138  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is technical analysis useful? on: February 28, 2018, 05:25:05 AM
Technical analysis is based on information obtained from previous price data which is programmed to predict the future of the price, be as it may in most cases these TA do fails because they usually lag with the price and price must have moved significantly before an indicator gives a signal considering the fact that Cryptos are very volatile, a trader would have placed a trade when the price is about to reverse based on TA. Personally  I preferred price action with Japanese candlestick patterns formed at a support or resistance zone which are usually influenced by FUDs.

Europol: Hardcore Criminals Are Shifting From Bitcoin to Monero, Zcash and Dash
A multitude of representatives of law enforcement agencies from around the world have talked about the use of bitcoin by criminal elements, sometimes revealing ignorance about cryptocurrencies in the process. Now it appears that Europol at least is trying to go deeper, learning about various altcoins and how they can be used too.

Criminals Go Alt
The European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol), formerly known as the European Police Office and Drugs Unit, is concerned that sophisticated criminals are switching to alternative cryptocurrencies while investigators are just focusing on bitcoin. Monero, zcash and dash are specifically mentioned as now appearing on the radar of the EU law agency.

Jarek Jacubchek, a Europol cyber-crime analyst, told Business Insider: “We can see a quite obvious and distinct shift from bitcoin to cryptocurrencies that can provide a higher level of privacy. So basically, you can achieve a higher level of privacy using these ‘altcoins’, and these altcoins are either using stealth as the basis, like monero. There are also coins like dash that do not have stealth addresses, they have transparent addresses, but they have a mixing process that is part of the protocol.”

Bitcoin Still Rules

This shift from bitcoin to altcoins is supposedly fueled by two ongoing trends. First, bitcoin exchanges are coming under regulatory pressure to adopt the same anti-money laundering and know your customer (AML/KYC) practices of traditional financial institutions, such as requiring photo IDs to open accounts, which are scaring away criminals. Second, most police forces are already aware of the potential use of bitcoin and are improving their ability to track down BTC transactions by suspects. Additionally, by shifting between multiple cryptocurrencies, people can better hide their tracks from investigators.

Despite all of this, bitcoin as the original cryptocurrency is still the most popular with criminals, just as it is with law-abiding citizens. The co-founder of cryptocurrency analysis firm Elliptic, Tom Robinson, explains that “the vast majority of illicit activity in cryptocurrencies is still taking place in bitcoin, because of its ease of exchange and more advanced infrastructure”.
