Now Telegram is a big target for viruses and hackers, spammers, cheaters. They ar lurking everyone where on the internet and this is why we need more cybersecurity and more people to be brought to justice were stealing our money is concerned. I have been hacked and had lots of funds stolen from me since joining crypto and if I still had that money now I wouldn't be in such a low ebb of a place. I feel sad that these people are relentless to get away with hurting people and goes to show that too many nasty people are in crypto that need to be taken out. How do peeps expect mass adoption when you have too many nasty people in crypto that give it a bad name. Your average investor won't touch it with a barge pole until these peeps are cleaned out. Ethereum and Bitcoin, for example, has no mechanism to take out the hackers. There needs to be a way to put this in the code to recover funds back.

I am barely earning anything now form bounties so have almost given up and the worse the bear market gets, the more and more unlikely it is for me ever to get paid any tokens that will ever hit an exchange and if they do they will be dumped so hard that I won't get hardly anything for my time. I live in a Western country and life is very expensive here so for me to make anything worth my time even remotely worth a minimum wage right now is impossible. I believe bounties now are only for those living in developing countries or for those without many living expenses, like kids living with their Parents for example who don't have much to spend on bills, rent, food and basic stuff that us normal adults have to fork out for daily.

I am only buying ARB token right now as it is the ONLY token that has made me any money at all in 2018. Every other project, coin and token has been a disaster for me this year and only ARB is what is keeping me afloat. I buy this one and trade it and also am saving up more of the ARB tokens to top up the arbitrage robot that makes me a daily passive income because I take ut in USD every day in tether my wages. This is the only project worth investing in right now to keep us afloat in the bear market. Big money is flowing into ARB right now and many reputable marketers are also coming in. This is not like the shabby bitconnect either, nothing to do with that kind of crappy lending platform.

There is no guarantee that Bitcoin prices will ever go up again, not in the foreseeable future. All those so-called experts that called Bitcoin to be between 30k USD and 60K USD were paid by the big powers that be to try to get new suckers in the market back then so they could pump the price a grand or two in order to start the mass culling and capitulation process that they are executing now. I never now believe anything the mass media says or these so-called Youtube Influencers anymore because this is what cost me all my portfolio to evaporate, listening and believing in the stupid news FUD AND FOMO stories. Now I am literally at the tail end of my investment portfolio I will just go by my own instincts.

I don't think we have hit the bottom yet and when we do we will be there a very long time. The bears know they can make a ton more money and profits shorting Bitcoin than pumping it and they are consistently doing this, then making it go sideways for some suckers to buy in before they make it go down again. They won't be happy until Bitcoin is around 1.5k USD and then they will be busy mining the Bitcoin Cash SHIT COINS AS IT IS CHEAPER TO MINE THOSE. mINERS AND WHALES DON'T CARE A TOSS ABOUT THE Market and investors, they only care to line their own pockets. Hodlers and believers in Bitcoin and crypto, in general, are the ones suffering most from this nasty cycle of shorting.

I have to sell every week to take out for living costs, I don't have an alternative income source right now. I wish at the moment I had a  fiat paying job that would pay me extra to actually invest and buy Bitcoin and Altcoins right now but I don't have that luck, so am hoping that payouts from the arbitraging robot will grow as I slowly add to it from compounding and then I have some spare funds to buy more of the coins and tokens I really like for the long term holds. Let's see if the future will be brighter and I can get some stuff cheap and be able to hold some coins for the future. I wish I had though more sources of revenue right now to grow a Bitcoin stash but Bitcoin looks to drop more and more so many coins will become worthless.

At the moment I don't have much leeway and only invested in a couple of projects right now. I try to see if the project has a use case and is really there to help people in crypto. I now don't have any room for risk assessemtn because all I have right now is crypto to live on, so for now am in a very high risk area and hoping for dear life that things will change. Now all I can do is pray I made this last decision as a correct one and if I can accumulate some cheap coins and tokens over the coming months, when the bull market ever comes, I might be able to make some headway once more and own enough crypto that will make a difference in my life and the lives of those around me in the near future.

The only project that is making me any money in this bear market is arbitraging and I earn money from the arbitraging robot. All other coins and tokens have made me humongous losses in 2018 at the point of my capitulating, but since I found the ARB robot it saved me from complete destruction. I do like other crypto projects but they have ruined me financially because I either bought in at the wrong time or didn't sell when I should have. The only luck I have had if anything is with Arbitraging but if all goes well, I still plan on investing also in a few other solid projects like PUNDIX, but not sure about new projects right now.

Yeah, we are going down to 3k I can see that may be lower and the bear market winter will be really long. What I feel sad about is that the bear market rekt me totally so when bull run comes again I am afraid that I might have barely anything to hodl anymore and then not make anything in the bull run. I do hope I have some bitcoin b then. I do still believe in Bitcoin and hope one day that it will get better and more people will start believing in it again. Let's see if the new infrastructure and regulations come in slowly as to help the market pick up and give more people a chance to hold crypto and Bitcoin. I don't own even one Bitcoin at this time which is so sad I think.

I do not have money to invest right now but I have tow investments now only that is PundiX and ARB tokens. Thanks to the ARBITRAGING robot I can earn a living right now and so can still keep a roof over my head and feed my family at this time. All other crypto relate jobs have almost but died a death. I do want to get more Pundix and more ARBS and also diversify in some other tokens but now need also to focus on finding jobs that will actually pay out so will have to organize my time accordingly as I do want to get more cryptos as well. I think in 2019 and 2020 things might improve in this area and I want to have a decent holding of PundiX by the end of 2019. I will try to keep buying so that I have at least 5-10 million Pundix so if it ever gets to between 1 and 10 cents I have a few of my losses back I lost in 2018.

Those thousand dollar bounty days are well and truly over. I haven't received hardly anything in 2018. I have the last four signature campaigns still to be paid for and one I did for nearly three months turned into a scam. So in 2018 I am nearly at 0 when it comes to bounties. I got around 80 useless tokens also form airdrops and bounties that have never reached an exchange so are probably scams as well. Even I am a legendary member in this forum, it seems my rank is now deemed pretty worthless and useless right now. I am really beginning to lose hope in this area but still do bounties, in the hope something one day actually pays me something decent. 2018 has been the worst year in crypto for me and my family. I hope much better days will come for us.

At least now the fees around Bitcoin are much cheaper than before and I remember several months ago how clogged up the blockchain was and sometimes would have Bitcoin stuck for days on end and that was really nasty, plus the fees were so expensive. I hope now with Lightning Network things will get even more impressive for Bitcoin and more and more merchants will want to adopt it and take Bitcoin for their products and services. I am praying and hoping that we get mass adoption by 202 at least another 2-55 of people using Bitcoin and in general cryptocurrency as still at only 1% of the world's population owning any Bitcoin, that is still a very small amount so we have a long way to go yet.

Well I don't see much good happening in the market right now and many people have lost their livelihoods and wealth in this crash, so the transfer of wealth has gone right back to the big whales. There is though some good happening with infrastructure and mass adoption, slowly being implemented. I think if people can go through this bear phase and survive, those who will own Bitcoin in years to come will benefit both from the technology and also from the price appreciation. I hope there are more businesses coming into Bitcoin who will adopt the technology to help streamline their businesses in the future.

I think they still buy back but it's done at random times because peeps tried to time when the buyback would be then another ten peeps would try to gazump and undercut to get their tokens sold into the company buy. So now they buy but no one knows the exact time, that makes it fairer for everyone on the platform to just place their sells and wait for their tokens to be sold. There was news today from the CEO in an email:

Hello,

I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

I would like to thank you for your patience in waiting for my upcoming live stream to show the upgraded and new features of the Arbitraging platform.

We want to ensure that they are rock solid before releasing them. Unfortunately, the holiday has pushed that back quite a bit as our staff was spending time with family.

IMPORTANT You might experience some brief interruptions on the exchange as we start to implement a small portion of the new changes.

With 50,000 users you can test as much as you like.  However, some things just cannot be simulated until those same 50,000 users can jump on and use them.  For that reason, I wanted to wait until all hands were on deck to to ensure fixing any possible bugs or addressing any support issues that may arise.

We have only just begun!

Thanks,
David
CEO Arbitraging.co

There are some good ICOS I am sure, but most turned to scam and dumped their ETH, causing the crash in the price of Ethereum and most don't pay out, so yeah this year I am not able financially to invest in ICOS, even if I wanted to and I don't really have the inclination in a bear market to invest in tokens that if and when they reach an exchange will be less than half the price they were in ICO. It's o.k for those with a lot of money to throw away, but for losers like us who already are at the point of capitulation, investing in ICOS is now no longer an option for me.

I also believe it's going to go down more, the capitulation phase may last anything between three to 9 months in my books with a very long drawn out sideways bear market. So this bear market will last I think for a minimum of nearly two years. We just need to find a way to survive until then. I don't think things are going to get much better in the next few months and there is no sign of a Holiday Pump if that's what everyone is waiting for. This is NOT 2017, this is a horrible bear market 2018 year which seems to have no end in sight. I am really fed up with it right now lol.

Pundix will be truly a rising in star in 2019 and 2020 and so everything who can purchase now in the lows and hold this for a long time will truly benefit in the longer term. It is a slower coin to trade for day traders that is why this I recommend truly as a set it and forget it and hold for retirement purposes.  think everyone who can afford it should buy one million Pundix and set aside and forget it as part of their crypto long term portfolios.

I think the Institutions are looking to squeeze out more profits and get Bitcoin to around 2.5k - 3k USD before we see any form of reversal and we might be holding that bottom for a few months and the capitulation phase might be a long drawn out sideways bearish event, not just a cut and dry, we reached the bottom and up we go scenario. I really think that this crypto chart cycle this time is looking more like the 2014 one which was very long drawn out. We need to reach around 85% retracement levels to be talking about the real bottom. I think we have a way more to go to reach capitulation. The bear market ain't over yet.

Crypto is riddled with scammers, hackers and the low lives that take away our daily bread and that's why no one will be seeing any Lambos as yet because the market is being manipulated like no tomorrow, hackers and cheaters lurk on this forum like wolves and get away with everything, so don't expect mass adoption any time soon unless the Crypto scene is cleaned up and as for ICOS are concerned you really need to do your own research and don't believe in all the FUD and FOMO and other misinformation being spread about a certain project or coin/token. Do always your own due diligence, don't be lazy.

Ethereum will get better in price eventually, as will most reputable projects but for now, enjoy the bear market for a while because I see no bull run happening right now and there is way too much selling going on from ICOS who are dumping their ETH so that they can preserve what is left of their capital. Many ICOS raised a ton of Eth when Ethereum was priced over 1k USD but now they are struggling or just want to exit scam so are dumping it as cheap as it is going now. Oh well many will eventually regret selling this and they will want to buy in and FOMO again when it's double the price when it is on the way up again.
