6421  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Advice to all bounty hunters. on: July 09, 2018, 04:38:47 PM
Bounty hunters help to expose ICOs to crypto related audience to attract investors for the project. No matter how promising the project may be, if the ICO fails, the project won't see the light of the day. Bounty hunters are very important in ICOs. But there is one thing am not happy about bounty hunters. They usually dump their coins at any price the moment it is listed on an exchage which usually drops the price of the coin even below the ICO price putting the investors at a disadvantage. I want to advise the hunters to hold their bounty tokens for a while in order to maintain a good price for the coin. We shouldn't forget we are all stakeholders
I'm a bounty hunter too and majority of coins i received i stil hold for it soecially now the price is too low due to bearish market  for those who sold their coins immediately i think its their right to hold or sold immediately as that is their own coins already and for the sudden drop of price it is only normal and temporary if coins has solid foundation and good project price may recovee in sue time don't blame those  bounty Hunters.
As a bounty hunter you do have the full control of your tokens received since you do work hard for it and its up to you if you would decide to dump it immediately or would decide to hold up for more longer because you do believe on the project you had advertised or promote. Its up on our choice and its normal for bounty hunters to be blamed on such drop but basing on the percentage on overall bounty i cant say that they are the main reasons. We should always look up on investors dumping game for profits.

I am still a newbie trader and my primary concern is that I am still not a pro in making Technical Analysis and I end up usually with no profit or with slight loss because my TA is wrong. Any tips? Thank you in advance!
You cant consider as a wrong one yet technical analysis wont really work anytime into this very volatile market but having a proper technical analysis would guide you somehow on your trades it might not be accurate or precise to give the same or expected results but if you do mixed up with some fundamentals then it would be somehow effective.Just like on my part ive been doing both things news+TA at the same time you can observe on how your trade performance goes.

can you invest in mining farms in the next months and 2 years or shouldn't you invest there?
Envion = Huh??   Grin
Terraminer = Huh??  Grin
Ice Rock Mining Part I and Part II  HuhGrin Grin
Ambit Mining = ICO end 

I don't know exactly. But I don't think all three have brought people no much profit yet.
would you rather invest there or not  Huh

there's no money from me. but what's your opinion
Definitely No!

No matter how good their promotion is or in the contract price they do offer its quite normal that any cloud mining sites wont really be good for long term but well its your own money its still up your choice if you do like to proceed or not but i do tell you this that its being mentioned for a thousand times about cloud mining sites unprofitable way of investment.If you do like to waste up money then its your choice and also there are lots of alternatives on how to grow your money.
6424  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Reading Whitepapers on: July 06, 2018, 06:49:11 PM
Reading white paper of any project is a must, because it gives an outline about the project. Experts on going through the white paper itself predict how worthy is the respective project. Without going through the white paper making an investment expecting profit is similar to gambling depending upon luck alone.
You are definitely doing gambling if you do invest without any basis or you didnt even read up their whitepaper and as we all know this is the thing where it do explains all about the project.Its not necessary for you to read up as a whole but rather just get the key points or the main idea because if you do tend to read it all then it would be time consuming.I have experience on doing those things at first and it really cost me time instead you can use it up on other things.Just get the main idea.
6425  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What to Know about Decentralized Exchanges on: July 06, 2018, 06:16:24 PM
Volume is extremely low on most DEXes and I hardly use them except for some lesser-known tokens that I want to sell that are only listed on them. I don't use them because of low volume and also the fact that most DEXes have UIs that look like they were made by children (EtherDelta)- I'd much rather just use a traditional exchange for the 99% of times that I'm not trading an obscure token that's only listed on a DEX.

Besides that, most decentralized exchanges usually don't offer any major new features besides being decentralized over traditional exchanges, and coupled with everything I've mentioned earlier I can't be bothered to try them.
Not only that where DEX do only supports mostly on Erc20 tokens which do flood up on the market.I agree that DEX do have lesser volumes compared to those centralized exchangers.Most tokens would be mostly listed up here when they dont end up on being listed into better exchange or users do tend to trade it first thats why we cant really expect for volumes to be big similar into other exchange not dex.
The thing i do like with these exchange because it isnt centralized, no kyc or any other related stuffs.
6426  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-07-04] 6 Million Bitcoin is Lost or Stolen, Should the Real Value of BTC on: July 05, 2018, 08:35:04 PM
Important thing these boobie articles don't take in mind is the fact that just because Bitcoins aren't moving on-chain, it doesn't mean they aren't being used or that they are lost.

I have bought plenty of physical Denarium coins this year that I funded with a certain amount of Bitcoin, all to be used in case there is no internet or electricity available, or maybe in case I just need the privacy that much. These physical coins can be spent thousands of times without anyone even noticing because nothing happens on-chain, and I'm pretty sure that I am not the only person with this form of use and way of thinking.

Exchanging private keys happens, we just don't know how often, and that's exactly the purpose of this utility; no one should ever know. Smiley

Exactly! I have coins dating back to 2015 and haven't touched the addresses for 3 years. I guess my coins are by now somewhere in that "lost" group.
Makes me wonder, how long does it take before an address is considered lost with all its balance? 2 years? 3 years? Cheesy
As for the stolen coins, why should we care? If the thieves get caught the coins will end up on some auction and return to circulation. If they don't get caught the coins will go through mixers and casinos and the result will be the same.
Why its really important for us to find out about lost coins and stolen ones? Theres no one can able to prove that those coins that aren't been moved are totally lost and as being said they might not really being moved intentionally and people do make such speculations or proclaims that those are lost ones. I doubt when bitcoins tends to hit up new ATH, one of those wallets would be active.  Smiley
About stolen coins it would be just still the same no matter what the process they would use up.
6427  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Best exchange with less risk. on: July 05, 2018, 07:26:39 PM
I have tried to sell tokens in the past which resulted in losing all that I had, I need more advice on best Exchanges for mostly all altcoins and how safer they are to use?
Try to check out on exchangers who do have the most volume https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/volume/24-hour/all/
We can already preview which site is on top as of now and using them would somehow give less risk but not a guaranteed thing for them not to experience issues even on Binance on their recent bug incident.
6428  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Fake binance pump? on: July 05, 2018, 06:25:49 PM
Every other time we see a coin get pumped badly on binance, recently being the case of sys coin. My question is, Should we take part in such pumps ? How much risks it involves? How long should we hold that coin?
You should not include that SYS coin incident which its not relevant to be considered on such situation yet it do involves bug related issues with the platform not totally a usual pump of coins not only to this exchange but on others as well.
Fake pumps and dumps do exist and when you saw these coins then its too late for you to get in and its risky when you FOMO. Not all coins would have definitely a possible same movement for you to wait up.
6429  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018/07/02]Over 1,000 ICOs Have Failed in 2018, New Report Claims on: July 05, 2018, 05:11:22 PM
Well, many icos are created by people who only make false promises, when I say false promises I am referring to the fact that those people who create ICO only have ideas and have no concept of practice, you can have idea of creating a production company of bananas, but if you have never made bananas, then you will have a great chance of failing ... and this has happened in the world of ICO. People who have ideas, have no idea of the reality of the real world and after collecting investor money and putting the idea into practice, are faced with the harsh reality of the real world and with that the project fails.

then there are cases of scammers, this ICO market has become the gold mine of many scammers and with the constant loss of money investors are losing, and allied to the fact that governments intervene with very strict regulations, it will be even more difficult for any Ico achieve success.
These cycle cant really be stopped if investors do continue do fill out their bags with their money and repeat the process all over again.Nothing to be surprised of that most of projects in the market do have an unrealistic goals or plans.Some might be achievable but would really require too much work or funding and most of them do still fail even on the early phase. This is why its important to see on how dedicated the team behind on the project you are investing and whitepaper or roadmap should really be realistic.

It can't be really avoided when these ICO investors and project/ICO developers collaborate just to gain profit. These ICOs are made even when there's no actual intention to implement what has been stated in their whitepaper or road map because there's big money in it. What's sad is when actual ICOs (and are not scams) which have potential and the actual intention to facilitate change for the world fails to raise enough funds. This sometimes happen when the team poorly plans or markets their project.

OP has surprising statistics as I wouldn't think that it would be possible to measure such data. With the great number of ICOs, I didn't figure that a great majority would be scams. 81% is significantly large so that would mean if it so happens that the ICO you invested in is successful and legit then you are some lucky guy who found a diamond among rocks.
It isn't a large one but just really a right percentage to presume or even higher. Basing on projects as of now and the ones who do succeed are just really small in numbers. Marketing do always really play a big role on projects success and I agree that potential or good ones do failed out due of such lack of support which is opposite into the situation of those scam projects instead.They do rather get the funds and support.


These cycle cant really be stopped if investors do continue do fill out their bags with their money and repeat the process all over again.Nothing to be surprised of that most of projects in the market do have an unrealistic goals or plans.Some might be achievable but would really require too much work or funding and most of them do still fail even on the early phase. This is why its important to see on how dedicated the team behind on the project you are investing and whitepaper or roadmap should really be realistic.

I believe the huge percentage of ICO funds come from the scammers themselves who put their own ETH into contracts to create an illusion of confidence and induce FOMO in potential victims. So, the actual amount of coins invested in ICO's might be going down, despite the seeming popularity of ICO's, but it's still way higher than it should be, people should be treatening all ICO's as scams, and in cases when they are conducted by some big and established entities, they are still insanely high risk investments, because there's no successful ICO's that have delivered a full working product.
This is very very possible or do really happen where statistics shown on how much is being accumulated will really be a strong convincing factor for those potential investors specially when they do saw on pre-sale it was sold out in a matter either minutes,seconds or few days. If you are seeking for investment you will most likely to go with these things because you do blindly believe that this is already a good investment without doing deep further research behind.

6431  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I will never join AirDrop programs any more on: July 03, 2018, 11:22:15 PM
I have already joined hundreds of airdrops but I got nothing until now. I will never join AirDrop programs any more.
- Each airdrop rewards only some token, that its value from $5 to $20 (calculated by the ICO price)
- Most of the token are dead now (just spammed projects or shit coins)
- Some tokens have been listed on Coinmarketcap now but the token price is terrible low. The value even equal to the transaction fee if I send the tokens to exchanges.
Common scenario which this is definitely happening since the beginning for time on where airdrops is being created or being part of their marketing plan. Some might give you some money but most of them would always end up to be dead or just add up the entire list of shitcoins in the market.
This is why for people who do engage on airdrops for the sake of profitability or free money then you should forget it because it would just break your hopes because it wont really work on that way.
6432  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is NANO (RaiBlocks) the best currency in crypto? on: July 03, 2018, 10:32:11 PM
The project develops gradually, but the price does not react to it, and continues to downtrend. IMHO the growth of NANO will start when BTC starts to grow too.
The same we can say about any coin from top300. Now you can buy absolutely any. And I'm sure that it will be pumped after BTC rally up. Nano is good. I watch for Raiblocks but don't participate in the faucet. And now I'm sad  Cheesy
There are so many small things here in crypto that we didn't give attention and if we know that there is a faucet of this Nano would you think you will take ut or younwill just ignore it because i have seen many stories that it was not available in the exchange on that years.
Remembering those days where you can able to earn XRB-Raiblocks now (NANO) thru faucets by means of solving captcha. Its still fresh on my mind on how did i earn those 50k XRB and just being sold out in pennies and later on i do see it did rise up its price for $30+ on ATH as far as i remember which do really give me a nightmare for how many days.
I cant deny the fact this that is indeed on of the best coins in the market due to almost free transaction cost and almost instant confirmation time.
6433  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading Bitcoin is pretty easy on: July 03, 2018, 09:53:40 PM
Hello,

I am a new investor in Bitcoin and I can tell that trading Bitcoin is so much easier that trading Forex. I double my wallet in 3 months with swing trading! I bought Bitcoins between 6000 / 7400 and sold them at 11.500. Last days I bought Bitcoins between 7300 and 8100 and I still have them.
The important thing is to believe that bitcoin will continue to go up, like me, so you can find the good entry points.

I post Bitcoin analyzes on my twitter channel so take a look, I already have some good results from my start. I post also my results of my profitable EA forex robot.

https://twitter.com/christopheduh1

Good luck!

Chris
If you do still hold up your coin as of these days then you are already on total loss and thats the normal part on investing to bitcoin where volatility wont really be just the same when we are trading up either on forex or stocks where you can able to utilize your move basing on price actions or movements.This wont work on here in crypto, you might be profitable in a short span of time but you can be also a loser too if you have get out on the right time. Trading was never an easy thing but as long you are profitable with your own way then its a good thing.
6434  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are you a bounty hunter? Check in now on: July 03, 2018, 04:57:22 PM
I am a bounty hunter started last March 2018, my goal is to add 1 project a day started yesterday well I've successfully added 1 yesterday and today added 4 bounty projects so now a total of 29 projects I feel so hard to manage everything where most of the campaign I joined is social media where it needs to create original article every post.

This thread is a survey:

How many projects do you promote everyday as a bounty hunter?
Is it hard to do a lot of bounty campaigns daily?
What is the best project you promoted now?
This isnt a survey but rather a usual thing when it comes to bounty campaigns.
The thing in social media campaigns is that you can join as many as you can but the concern here is on your time which you cant handle it if you do join up too much projects.
Time management and effort would be needed. Doing this on daily routine would only be suited for those people who havent any jobs.
6435  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Breakout or Fake Out? on: July 02, 2018, 09:14:22 PM
Bitcoins price suddenly pump. What do you think? is this the start of Bull Run or just a Bear Trap?

Pump? It's not a pump, the price are increased just a little.
It's a normal movement about the price to fluctuations, we need to wait more time to see bitcoin will recover.
Dont know why people cant able to identify a pump and a normal price increase? Those candles doesnt signify a pump but rather a common price rise movement but it doesnt mean we are heading to reversal. Bear trap? Isnt an appropriate word to be used because we do might definitely see a bull trap.

Bull trap- fake outs of prices when it tends to go up and thought it would pump or continue to rise up but later on it do drops out instead
Bear trap- opposite way.
6436  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Almost every Altcoin down : Here is what you should be doing! on: July 02, 2018, 08:31:03 PM
- Already got portfolio which is down in the investment ? Then you should add more similar coins into it. Yes, because if you enter the every market with current rates then this would be your starting point and it will give you more % profit than what you are holding today by the time you reach the old entry point.

This is what im doing incase i do lose up or do have negative floating due to bad entry of the price then the market declines. Purchasing or buying tokens on lower levels will definitely narrow the negative you commit.
Having this kind of method will not ensure you anytime and you would have need titanium balls to do such thing because handling the stress factor wont really be that easy.

Panic? Its inevitable where when you do see decline in price its normal for a human being to have such reactions.
6437  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What Motivates you to Invest in Cryptocurrency? on: July 02, 2018, 07:40:13 PM
So what it is that makes you invest in crypto? Is it because it caught your fancy? Is it the volatility? Is it because there is a need to fulfil in your life? IS it because you are a day-trader? Or is it fun?
No one in this volatile market of crypto do make investment just for the sake of fun.I would rather believe that most people on here do have the same motive why we are here which is "MONEY" or profits where we can able to achieve a financial free life we do wish for.I do strongly believe on that thing and comparing to those who believe on crypto tech then i would say it would be less but in general means this innovation do really gives convenience on our daily lives at the same time it do have money making opportunity.

Being rich is usually a combination of chance and talent. However, fate and destiny determines whether a person will be rich or poor. Therefore one must
 know thatthere are different ways of becoming rich. Richness is not gonna be achieved on a silver platter.
Believing on this words.! It would always matter with chance or shall we say in our own destiny. We might have the knowledge,skills and experience or intellect but if the things wont really follow on the path that you wanted then this would be definitely the reason.No matter how hard you do try it wont really work anytime. Lucky for those people who are born wealthy it would depend if they would utilize those wealth for a better and for more development or just dont care at all because they do already possess everything.
6439  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: No listed on coinmarketcap on: June 29, 2018, 09:21:58 PM
There are so many cryptocurrencies listed on exchange already but still not available on Coinmarketcap just because its trading volume is too low. As I remember if any cryptocurrency wanna be listed on Coinmarketcap it must have at least $10k trading volume or maybe more than that, I don't remember it clearly. So if you wanna buy, you should move forward without worrying about anything Grin
Simply 100k usd volume an a span of 24 hour period which is the average numbers which is required for a coin to be listed on the site. Most of the time coins go below that volume would definitely be removed into the site.
When we do talk about investing into those coins im not saying it isnt bad since it can still deliver profits on long term not on shorter terms due to inactive trade out.
If you can risk then you can try but on my side since im an active trader, the higher the volume the better.
6440  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Bitcoin tax question on: June 29, 2018, 06:04:40 PM
Im a US citizen and am still confused with the current crypto tax interpretation. In October of 2017 I traded some litecoin for another crypto. Then in January 2018 the tax bill passed and eliminated the like to like exchanges of crypto.

My interpretation is that since I made the trade before the law changed then I did not create a taxable event. Am I wrong in this interpretation?
Some forces are trying to consider Bitcoin as an asset so that they may be able to get taxes on everything a Bitcoin user buys. Bitcoin is not an asset but a currency which is favorable for transaction of money and a source of investment therefore it is a currency and not an asset. Bitcoin user should not pay tax on Bitcoins because this is your own money and not an asset.
Tax is not a bad thing and all the money a government has in the account is actually the tax money that it uses for the defense and development of the infrastructure of the country. If government intervenes in the crypto and implements regulations in the use of Bitcoin technology, it can very soon implement a taxation law as well and all the people who earn from the technology should pay the income tax which I would never like.
If everyone is paying taxes in crypto then i think crypto is not yet decentralized anymore and with the help of all kinds of regulation that the government are implying. Then we have to face the new face of centralized cryptocurrencies but above all most of the countries are not yet ready for this kind of situation and some are avoiding it at all cost for some reason.

Paying taxes in crypto has nothing to do with the level of centralization, and everyone paying taxes in crypto would not mean the currency is centralized. The two things are completely separate issues, and not even linked in any discernible way. Centralization has to do with control, and it is unequivocally decentralized. If the government accepted tax payments in Bitcoin, it would be no different than a merchant selling products for Bitcoins - just another place to spend it. It speak nothing of centralization.
You're right. This is not centralization but do you have any idea what will happen if the government will sell all the bitcoins they received as tax at the end of the year? You little mt.gox? Do you want the market to be constantly feverish? In addition, in order to take a tax in bitcoins, governments must recognize it as a currency. You believe that?
Recognized as a currency? I dont think so and its not really necessary for them to made such step just to get some tax to those people who do involve on crypto. A simple recognition would already be enough. This would still depend if they would impose strict compliance but basically they would still end up on tie-ing up themselves on exchangers which are the ones to be regulated for them to able to track it out and get tax but when we do speak about direct pay up i dont even think peopel will be willing to do so.
