I am fed up fo seeing Craig Wright throw his weight around all the time and talking a load of crap on social media to define and grow his nasty and sinister agenda. I hope his sh8tcoin gets thrown off the CMC and becomes worthless in value and miners switch off their miners and stop supporting it. I don't believe Craig Wright is the real Satoshi as he has 0 altruistic intentions which I believe Satoshi had. I would say one word to describe Craig Wright but this is a respectable forum so will use the more polite epithet of SLIMY lol. He can crawl back in his hole and sit there and let the real revolutionaries in Crypto do their job.

Time to buy up some cheap COSS again before COSS 2.0 goes into full swing. I know Rune is always active in the Fintech sphere in Singapore and Asia, so he has connections to make the exchange work. I wish I had sold at the top when it had reached three bucks but nevermind, it's a good chance now to buy again another bag, set and forget until we get another bull run late 2019/2020 hopefully. This is a nice little project and not on many people's radar but owning a bag of COSS at these very low prices can't really hurt anyone's portfolio and can be a good addition of the low cap coinia you want to collect for those sudden price surges.

I would like to see ETH, BTC and other major currencies added to the bounties, sow e get part paid in tokens and part paid in bounties. Also, I would like to have verified at least 2 exchanges paid for and secured so that we all know the tokens will actually hit an exchange. I am fed up of doing bounties that have just a load of scam tokens that never reach an exchange. My time is valuable so I expect to be treated with dignity and respect for my work. I barely do bounties anymore for this reason of being scammed too much by bounties in 2018. I hope if you can provide a nice platform, I would like to join in and provide value and quality work that's for sure.

Unfortunately, it is human nature, just like Fiat currency has been used for Millennia to fund criminal activities and wars against innocents, so are cryptocurrencies often used for illicit activities too, such as buying porn and drugs off of the dark web. I do hope there is a change in our genetic material one day that will turn us into much nicer human beings but for now, we have to strive to perfect ourselves the best way we can and not engage in illegal and unethical practices. I do hope that people here don't do nasty stuff with their crypto and sue it for good purposes and buy nice things for their friends and families too.

There are new partnerships in place now and ZAC did a big speech at Coindesk consensus yesterday. What I want to know is if we buy an xphone and we become a node for the network, does that mean we will benefit from being a node financially? Will we also earn some of the tx fee whenever a transaction goes through our node? Will NPXS be the coin that will run the whole FX ecosystem like ETH is for Ethereum and if so, will there be a lot more use cases for NPXS other than the XPOS machines? This is what I want to know in the near future, how us long term holders will truly benefit. 

Out of principle, I ain't investing in those two coins because I don't like their leaders. They are alpha male megalomaniacs and narcissists to the point of oblivion. I prefer to invest in a coin like PundiX whose Leadership is mature in outlook and has no beef with others, wants to bring Bitcoin and Crypto into the mass adoption phase, than buy into coins run by a bunch of greedy rich kids. Sorry, but I am out of those even if they pump the sh8t to high heaven, I ain't buying into it. I know many people like to own and trade these coins, good luck to them, but I want to stay out of the mess these peeps created for the whole CMC. Their coins are a waste of space and capital.

Markets always move in cycles, yes there are more ways now to short Bitcoin than you can kill a cockroach, but I really believe there is room for the price to go, albeit at a much slower and organic place than when it happened in 2017. That pump ain't happening again, only in our dreams. Those of us who missed the boat missed it, BUT I do believe long term there will be some growth and movement to the upside when every Tom, Dick, and Harry will want to own a slice of Bitcoin. That time hasn'\t come yet. I do still feel a slight tad bullish for Bitcoin. Let's get our mothers and grandmothers to buy into it, then it might moon! ( Yeap, you got it pension funds are coming!).

Bitcoin in the near future won't fail unless a newer technology is there to replace it and I think it may take at least 30-50 years before this might happen. Look at the Internet for example, it is still serving us today as it was 30 years ago but new stuff has come along, new operating systems etc, blockchain technology will be here well into the future I reckon and Bitcoin may one day be very valuable or just a keepsake for those early believers in the tech. Let's see what the institutions will say in 20 years down the line if Bitcoin will be valuable or not.

If eth goes to ten bucks I will load up nicely, maybe buy 30 Eth and sit on it for the moon ride up. I do see it going to around 100 bucks or less in this cycle. I hope we are near the bottom, to be honest, but if Bitcoin falls well below 4k USD, I see Eth going to under 100 bucks easily. I don't think we will be out of this bear run this year at all. I see a very black Xmas and New year, then also the Chinese New year coming also, most peeps will exit and take their funds out for other safe havens like gold and real estate. Whoever made money in crypto already made it, now we all need to wait another two years for the new set of Ethereum and Bitcoin millionaires.

I don't think 2019 will be that much better where prices are concerned, of course, there will always be some pumps and dumps and movement but what is more important is to see how Blockchain will develop over the next year going into 2020. We need to see what inroads are being made by the big institutions who are coming in and buying all the cheap Bitcoin over the counter and what infrastructure is being built to bring in the crowds and mass adoption of crypto by the lay people and masses. Once they make crypto easy for even your grandmother to use, then you will see a different structure in the market.

I lost everything almost in this bear market so am starting again almost form 0, but this time I am going to do things much differently so in the next two years once this bear cycle turns, I will be in a position to take profits and not just hodl all the way down to the crash again. Of course, now it will be a harder uphill climb but am determined to get back what I lost in 2018 which has been a disaster. Now for the last two months I was able to preserve the last bit of my capital and survive, so I hope I can do this for the next couple of years and make the right moves this time.

The whales now are really capitalizing on everyone taking out money for the Holidays, so Bitcoin will drop further in my books. I see us going sub 4k USD very soon and I doubt in 2018 we will see any big bounce back. We are now going to go through a long bear winter of probably another year of lowest lows for this market cycle and maybe the end of 2019 going into 2020 we might see brighter days. Now the days are bright for those with spare funds to buy Bitcoin and a host of other cheap coins and tokens. I see the CMC next target to go to around 100 billion market cap, taking away two years of profits form the markets.

After 5 years will we stop earning revenue from the exchange or will there be something else for holders? Will, we still earn from staking at leas tor will that also finish in the 5 year period. After five years what will be the incentives for holders to keep holding DTEP tokens? Ofcourse 5 years is long in crypto and if you become the next Binance, it may turn out to be very huge for DTEP token holders over the course of the next few years. I hope things really work out for the DTEP Team and token holders as lately not many ICOS have been successful, leaving many of us holders behind. 2018 has been a personal disaster for me, so looking only for solid projects.

Some ICOS are taking forever and I personally haven't even been paid for the last three signature campaigns I did, one turned scam, one is still not giving us the tokens, one I may get paid end of this month so I no longer look at bounties as a reliable source of income. I used to live off of the income in 2016/2017 but now can't even get enough to pay my internet bills because it just isn't regular income anymore. I have resorted to day trading now to earn my keep. Bounties for me are just a hobby now if I get paid, it's like hitting the lottery lol.

I have 82 completely useless tokens sitting in my wallet, so many ICOS either scam or don't want to pay for an exchange listing, so now only a few good projects every reach exchanges, which is really sad because in 2017 all the projects I was involved in all reached an exchange. Now it's like playing the lottery to have an ICO reach an exchange and for you to even think about making a profit. The days of ICO flipping are over and only those in private sales with big pockets and insider knowledge or those who head pump and dump groups, win in this game now. Nowadays it's way too risky to play in ICOS.

It's really good that you are sticking to your principles and I hope Bitcoin goes up one day, unless you got into Bitcoin and mined it when it was very cheap or bought in cheaply and are still way ahead, then even more congratulations to you. I wish I owned some Bitcoin but I lost it all in the bear market, just got a few k USD worth of coins left and that's about it. I should have sold everything and tethered and now I would have 100 times more in BTC and coins had I cashed out back then 38 Bitcoin worth of stuff. Now I would have over 150 bitcoin if I had not made this grave mistake. I doubt I can ever recover this kind of money now, I would have to wait years and years if possible again.

Most people from ICO are still in profit, the only people in heavy losses still are us who bought PundiX at Ath because since then, the price has declined dramatically ever since that big Pump and has never recovered from that all-time high. So for people like me, we have a long way to go to average down and accumulate more at cheap prices in order for us to see remotely a break even point on our investment, which for myself and all of us who bought at the 200 sat range, will not see for at least a year or two. I am willing to wait and grow my PundX bag while we have these ridiculously low prices.

Thank you for entertaining us, it did make me laugh but anyway here is the latest news from the CEO and I have noticed new improvements on the trading platform. Personally, I would love to see some indicators on the chart, like bollinger bands, rsi, some fib lines etc, but maybe, later on, they might add those. Price has stabilized at around 5.5 USD for the token price for now and the Bollingers are pretty tight so you can only day trade for now with a very tight margin. I have found a nice rhythm now and I day trade some tokens daily and use that money to rebuy what I want for future bag growth, today bought a few more xlm and xrp and what I do now the money I take out daily from the aBot I put in TUSD so that I know when I need to take money home it's already got a dollar value. If I see BTC going up again I will toggle between TUSD and BTC.
I set my aBot to 0% compounding now to get more tokens while the price is low so I can also keep at least one token a day for refilling the aBot in the next price increase. If all goes well, with a bit of day trading and the aBot payouts, I can reach BEP in less than 2 months and have like still all the abot tokens plus my loose tokens to play with, fingers crossed. 

Here is the latest news:
Hello,

Just sending you an update/recap.

While the crypto market plummets, we continue to thrive!

Late last week we hit a HUGE milestone crossing 50,000 users, and as of right now our user base is at 50,590!  We are growing at a rapid rate.

I know you are all anticipating a live stream and I promise one is coming shortly.  We some substantial new features that you are going to love.  These features are significant changes to the platform that will be rolled out in the next two weeks.

Before releasing them live on the platform, I want to ensure they are rock solid in testing which has delayed the live stream unveiling the first of several new innovative features being implemented.

*IMPORTANT NOTE* -  As we becoming one of the top CMC coins this invites a lot of scammers.  THE ONLY official channels on telegram are @ARBofficial and @Arbitragingsupport be very careful of anything else.  Also remember our official admins YOU have to initiate the chat.  No admin will message you first.  No admin will ever ask for your passwords or keys.

Again - I want to thank you all for the suggestions you have been sending in,  please keep them coming.  This is OUR platform we have built together and we constantly strive to improve it.

We have only just begun!

Thanks,

David

They are slowly building the infrastructure for this to happen, companies like Pundi X, for example, want to make using / buying and selling crypto, as easy as buying a bottle of milk, even for the unbanked people of the world. If we get more and more companies getting the infrastructure ready for mass adoption, while the institutions bring in the large whales to plump up the Market Cap again, we will see a new wave and influx of users, bigger and more longer lasting than just the 2017 speculators we had who pumped and dumped out of the market as fast as you can say the word Lambo lol.. BTW I have watched the Turkish Series Muhtesem Yuzyil at least 5 times, one of the best TV series I have ever watched. We are Greek and my 80-year-old Parents watch hardly anything else except Turkish Dizi. 

We need to check volume and rsi on the next couple of days time frame to see if this is going to be a bull trap or the bottom of this cycle with a reversal. It's very early to tell if we are bottoming out or we are going to drop further. There is strong support in the 4k range for Bitcoin but we shall see in the following days to come if that support Is broken we should be heading south to around the next support of 3k USD. Things have been pretty bloody, especially due to the Bitcoin cahs hardfork and that is not turning out well in anyone's favor except some Egotistical alpha males who don't know what they are doing right now.
