There is already an ongoing discussion about the exchange: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5183180.0

Personally, I see absolutely no reason to use it, especially that there are older and more reputable platforms out there.
But what about young projects on the market? After all, they also have the right to life? competition will always be high

At this point? Traders prefer reputable exchanges over new minted exchanges. Young projects on the market are good, however, with the history of scam exits, KYC first before withdrawal, changing TOS on the fly, no volume, or faking it to look like the exchanges has a lot of liquidity, much better to stick with big exchanges today than take the risk that you might regret later, IMHO.

When BTC Bitcoin pumps in 2020 after halving, what effect will it have alt coins?  Huh Huh


It will take weeks or months or years before we can Bitcoin price goes off the chart, assuming this is your definition of a pump. In short we really don't know if its going to in 2020 or 2021. If you are one of those who believed that there is a correlation about Bitcoin price increasing and will spill its effect on altcoin then you have to think again. Currently, we have seen the price of Bitcoin move up from $3,000-$10,000 but alts didn't follow that pattern. I guess majority still have the mindset of 2017, its very different now and it may prove it that way after the block halvening in 2020 and the anticipated pump following that event.

There are some people gamble and lose. if you ask them why do you gamble? They will answer you "just for fun"
They know they are loser in long term and no strategy works, but continue to gamble for fun.
How can enjoy something that you know you will lose? Is losing money really enjoyable? Isn't there any other entertainment you can enjoy?
I think these people are still hopeful of winning back previous losses or they are addicted. Gambling cannot be just for fun. There are many free games too.

The fun begin with you started to win money. Or perhaps those saying that they gamble for fun is playing money that they can afford to lose. They can sleep at night without the worry of the money they have lost in a casino. Of course there are other means to entertain someone, but gambling is very different though. It gives you some sort of rush or pump.

Question though: Do you gamble or trade?

Following 10 years of presence, the subject of whether the mass reception of digital currency has been begun is still bantered in the space. I would like to ask specialists in the crypto and blockchain businesses is there or have there be any huge crypto mass adoption compare to 10years ago?

Bitcoin? Obviously it has grown tremendously in the last 10 years or so.

Blockchain? Yes, many companies are adopting it as well, public/private.
You can read here: (https://hackernoon.com/blockchain-adoption-could-be-closer-than-we-think-e68bebaebca4)

Altcoins? I'm not sure about that, perhaps the top 10 coins are being adopted as well but in a slow phase.

You also need to include regulations as well, this is a big factor if we wanted to see crypto as a whole being adopted globally.

No business will give out 40% within a 7 day period and with this alone does signify a ponzi scam and on that given
thread its already clear up that this is a scam and who the heck will have a partnership specially with banks to a website like this?
Scam attempts is getting dumber as a the years passed.  Grin

Exactly, we have been calling it a scam since day one because obviously "if it's too good to be true then it probably is". Good thing that it has been caught in the beginning and we have flag it out. I don't think though that scammers are re-investing the wheel, they just pull the same scam over and over again and hope that someone will fall for their trick. I do hope that no one is this community specially noobs investors has the audacity to put their money on this so scam.
6446  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: September 11, 2019, 06:14:40 PM
Medvedev is surely one of the young talent to watch for in the future as he took it right up to Nadal unlike what we have seen in the past when the young talent face one of the top 3 in Grand Slam finals as they normally lose in straight sets without much of a challenge. Nadal will most likely catch Federer and may over take him next year if he is able to stay fit but then I think it will be Djokovic to over take both of them in years to come if he is able to stay at peak fitness. I think we only have another few more years with these top 3 playing and then its up to the young talent coming through which is looking good right now. Congrats to Nadal on winning his 19th Grand Slam title.
It's one of the good Finals I watched in Tennis, my bet is Medvedev and I never loss my trust in him although he was down 2 sets at the start, I like the courage of Medvedev because he was able to come back and even tied the game, but the experience of Nadal gives him that edge in the last set.

Exactly, Medvedev has gained a lot of tennis fans with that performance against Nadal. He was down 2 sets in the beginning and have that mental toughness to get back in the match winning 2 successive games. If he faces someone in the finals not name Federer, Djokovic or Nadal I'm sure he is the champion today.

Congratulations to him, he was so humble during his interview and I like how he appreciates the effort of Medvedev and I believe it will inspire Medvedev  to be better since this guy is still 23 years and more better future to come for him. His length and his height is going to be an advantage if he will mature over time.

Definitely this is just the beginning for Medvedev and facing a champion like Nadal in the finals has given him a ton of experience that can help him win the next time around specially if he goes to the final again. Maturity will come for sure and as long as he continue to improved next tournament he could be the next grand slam winner.

Yes Medvedev does look like the one out of all the up and comers to win a Grand Slam title very soon, maybe next year we will see this. We have seen in the past the up and comers make Grand Slam finals, Dominic Thiem has made the past two French Open finals but hasn't been good enough to win or even challenge to win the title like we saw with Medvedev, he gave Nadal a challenge and almost pulled it off so that is why I rank Medvedev ahead of all the up and comers coming through right now.


I think reaching the finals in the US open, push Medvedev to the 4th position already and should be switching places with Thiem, ranked 5th now.

@Royse777 - him winning Cincinnati open put his name in our radar. Also he won the Sophia Open early February this year so definitely he has the potential to be the next future number one here.
6447  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: We are only rich on spreadsheets on: September 10, 2019, 10:29:16 PM
Yes, that's what bounties these days make us. They show us big big rewards on their spreadsheets but the real values of those rewards they offer us are sometimes not even up to $5 on the market. I feel bounty hunters are only being used as baits by project owners to catch their investors virtually for free. What do you think guys ?

Nice way to put it, yeah if you check the spreadsheets and then count your stakes x the supposedly ICO price then you can be rich here. However, it is also good in paper and it makes you feel good to continue and promote that project specially hearing a lot of positive feedbacks. But everything changes when you got your tokens, then it is listed on a exchange. Then suddenly the dumps start that when you check your MEW the value has gone too bad that you are just disappointed that you are either late in liquidating it or you still believed that the project is really good and try to hold into it.

Emanuel Navarrete (28-1-0) vs Juan Miguel Elorde (28-1-0) - WBO World Super Bantamweight
Jose Pedraza (26-2-0) vs Jose Zepeda (30-2-0)
Isaac Lowe (18-0-3) vs Ruben Garcia Hernandez (25-4-2)
Felix Valera (18-2-0) vs Vyascheslav Shabranskyy​ (20-2-0)

Guido Vianello (4-0-0) vs Cassius Anderson (7-1-0)
Abram Martinez (7-0-0) vs Kevin Jerel Johnson (7-1-0)

*stats of each boxer courtesy of boxrec.com

What, what a completely trash undercard. The only one I've ever heard of on that list is Jose Pedraza...

I definitely won't be tuning in to watch this, Fury will obviously smash Wallins and the rest are absolute nobodies.

BORING.

LOL, What do you expect from Top Rank? This has been their practice ever since, they will just have the best fighter like in the case of Pacquiao but they put up shitty undercard. Maybe don't have have a stable of good fighters. Or its just the way they wanted to milk their cash cow.

Just imagine Loma and Crawford in the same card,  Grin

Anyways, everyone is on Fury here so we might as well just wait for the for Fury vs Wilder.

Hello community, I need assistance from the experts here who have expertise in building a project. The main idea is to gather experts willing to help spread awareness of a project at hand. Please drop your concerns about this below. All questions are welcomed.

I'm no experts here, but we have a Services board here.

And maybe you can post there so that you can get your message. Just make a detail description on what you are looking for so that it will be clear and not wasting time for you and the person you are looking for.
6451  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Alt coins bleeding on: September 10, 2019, 09:01:38 PM
So Everybody talking about Altcoins bleeding and btc dominance....can the top altcoins can just disapere?  In my opinion its a best time to but altcoins coz Panic sellers are selling?

There goes a saying, "buy when there's blood in the streets". It means you should be on a buying frenzy when the price of altcoin is very cheap. Why? because once the market recovers you can really make a big profit out of it.

But can Some coins just disapere?  Or Go to Zero?
I Think If market is Red its a Good time to buy!

Majority of the altcoins today are down 90% or more. So in a sense they've almost made in to the grave. But then again, this market is very unstable and you can't really say that they are going to disappear unless the price went literally to zero.

I Don't undestood that Panic about altcoins!

There is no panic, 2018 was the panic year, today there is no demand no there are no buyers. But smart investors knows that this is the best chance to stash more altcoins, and we are still in the period of accumulation (even with Bitcoin).
6452  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do or Die for ETH on: September 10, 2019, 08:40:13 PM
People are bashing Ethereum all day long. You must know that a lot of people are still trusting Ethereum just like me. Why would people still make their coin based of Ethereum. This means that they are believing in it.

I guess everyone is bashing Ethereum because of the dramatic decline of the price and the people behind it. But Vitalik step up and says that they are going to up the ante and release Ethereum 2.0 in early 2020. Of course there are projects which developed and using ERC20 but perhaps in due time developers are going to move on the next technology and I could say that this could really hurt Ethereum in the long run. But I wouldn't say that its a do or die scenario for Ethereum, it's just this is how crypto works, if you don't evolved you die, but Ethereum devs are still very active and I think Vitalik is still on top of the situation here.
6453  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Different between Binance and Binance Dex. on: September 10, 2019, 08:20:40 PM
the "binance dex" one is supposed to be decentralized and it is advertised as such but i honestly don't see any decentralization in it. it is still the same centralized exchange which is not even giving service to a bunch of different countries.
in my opinion the main and only difference is that they created the so called "DEX" exchange so that they could market their own centralized coin called BNB and pump it more which is exactly what they did.

Exactly, CZ is really ahead of the game and he knows how to play everyone in the ecosystem. They just masked around the buzzword of "DEX" because that's what people wanted to see from them. But from behind you will know that there is no decentralization and would be using their own BNB that could be used for pure manipulation, that includes themselves or some bad actors in cryptoverse. I don't know if we could admire CZ for doing this or if we can call him a genius for putting this up.

6455  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Big prize for 1 participant in a signature campaign? on: September 09, 2019, 11:58:01 PM
for example: prize allocation for a campaign (signature) is around 2,000,000 tokens and if the project only has 1 participant in the campaign (signature) and when the project has been completed or not scammed, is it true that the participant will get the sum of all tokens (signatures)?
or maybe not at all,  for other reasons?

If they are going their own campaign rule then it's possible that the one signature campaign participant can get all the stakes. However, when the project or at least the bounty manager see that I'm pretty sure that one participant won't enjoy all the stakes. He could be given more tokens but not the whole allocated token as it doesn't make sense for the project to do that. They hire signature campaigns to post in this community to have maximum exposure, but if only one is doing it, then they're getting the short end of the stick.

What are your thoughts on this topic? Do you think it's going to be a better way to track where money is moving?


https://cointelegraph.com/news/crypto-cash-and-drugs-crypto-use-grows-as-drug-trade-digitalizes

That's what Ciphertrace is all about, "trying" to track everything specially Bitcoin addresses. But can they actually do it and uncover the criminal behind those addresses? Could be if criminals don't know how to hide their track. But the problem is that criminals are also above intelligence from the usual crypto enthusiast. It's dark markets, what do you expect criminals are going to used? Fiat? This is just part and parcel of crypto. IMHO.
6457  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Best Exchanges to Get a new coin listed on on: September 09, 2019, 11:11:03 PM
There is  a new coin that I am hoping to get listed on a few exchanges, I have a couple of ideas that I am hoping will work. As a new coin that is not on any exchange what are the best exchanges to get listed on first time. There will be no ICO or IEO I just want to do things differently and hope what this coin is offering something that people will be interested in.

1. What are the best places where I can get the coin listed for the first time?

Obviously, if you wanted your coin to gain traction from the community without ICO or IEO it should be listed on top exchanges with large volume and liquidity such as Binance. However, they are very strict on requirements so just take that into consideration specially if you're saying that no ICO or IEO would happen.

2. What are the most read crypto blogs?

Crypto blogs or crypto related websites? @hugeblack already provided some. But if you wanted to put advertisement, why not coinmarketcap? It's the most visited crypto related website as far as I know because everyone wanted to take a quick glance at the price. And having your banner there could be a good thing to do so that you can get maximum exposure.
6458  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best crypto currency ever to trade in ? on: September 09, 2019, 10:39:49 PM
I want your suggestions about which crypto currency is best for trade with respect to maximum profit ratio and minimal loss.

Pretty obvious that it's BTC/USD pair. Just look at the daily trading volumes across all platform and you will see the sheer amount of Bitcoin moving in/out. As for maximum profit, there's a lot of factors (1) depends on your capital (2) depends on your trading experience. But if you're looking for alts that can give you 10x - 100x profits (small capital but huge profit), I doubt that you can find because currently altcoin market is crypto winter. And if you are really new in the market, I advise you to start with small capital that you can afford to lose and play the market today and see how it goes for you.
6459  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will There Really Be An Altcoin Season or Just a plot to Keep us in the Loop on: September 09, 2019, 10:19:16 PM
While our altcoins keep depreciating in value daily as we keep vigil for altseason, bitcoin dominance has crossed 70% and keeps growing in strength. Will there really be an altseason.

Kindly read -
https://medium.com/bull-bitcoin/alt-season-scamming-noobs-since-2013-71bd19410d98

Never read the article, but here are my thoughts here: (1) altcoins keep depreciating before investors are into Bitcoin market right now (2) the hype around altcoin has died down, no projects are successful as 2017. (3) investors have matured and are very intelligent and would choose a project carefully before putting their money. (4) there are still lots of scam projects and investors doesn't want to gamble anymore. If there could be alt season, it should happen in 2020-2021 right after bitcoin's halvening. I say after because every trader pair depends on Bitcoin so if the price rally and we have a massive bull run, then it can have a domino effect on the altcoin market.
6460  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Andy Ruiz vs Anthony Joshua II on: September 09, 2019, 09:51:11 PM
Joshua Vows Not To Make Mistake of "Rushing" The KO of Ruiz

Quote
Anthony Joshua insists he will not make the same "little mistake" against Andy Ruiz Jr a second time around after a lack of patience cost him his heavyweight titles.

Ruiz stunned the boxing world back in June when he stopped overwhelming favourite Joshua at Madison Square Garden in New York, in the process securing the IBF, WBA, IBO and WBO belts.

https://www.boxingscene.com/joshua-vows-not-make-mistake-rushing-ko-ruiz--142333

I wouldn't call that a little mistakes though, he really underestimate Ruiz Jr and that his first mistake. He had dropped opponents before, but he immediately take them out in the next couple of rounds. But with Ruiz Jr though, it's very different. Although Andy was down in the 3rd, he quickly got up, it's more of a flush knock down that's why he was able to recover very quick and put Joshua down in the same round and it's over for him in the 7th.
I wouldn't call it a little mistake either because a lot of his fan like myself actually lost some fund when he also lost his championship title but it good to know that he has realized his mistake and ready to do every possible to get back what Ruiz took from him. Besides, I really respect Anthony level of understanding and discipline.

Right. That's why not just for Joshua, but all fighters shouldn't underestimate their opponents because once they do, they could really lose like the one we have seen in the first fight. No one has given Andy Ruiz a chance, majority thought that this is an easy fight for Joshua. But Ruiz put him in the canvass and he wasn't the same fighter after the third round. But this time, based on interviews, Ruiz is oozing with confidence that can backfire on him. Joshua did understand what went wrong with him in the first fight and knowing his ring IQ and discipline, he won't allow the same thing happen again in this rematch.
