You don't necessarily go buying altcoins for the sake of it simply because Bitcoin is dipping. That will be pure gambling and not trading. Your first step should be to find out what the alt you want to acquire has to offer. What type of crypto is it and what the roadmap is about. You should also look into the dev team and follow that up with the 'historical data' if the crypto is already listed on the CMC. For me I like alts that have use-cases, not just a rave of the moment altcoins.

This can be really tough and dicey, especially the second sentence. With that in mind, I can even foresee a situation where some of these cheaters may unscrupulously input another user's wallet ID just to make that user look fraudulent. There's no way you can really tag these cheaters on this because the bitcointalk profile links aren't theirs. This is a sad situation we have here.

I don't know if this is the right section for this post. The mod can move it appropriately if not. It's an observation I got recently on a telegram bounty and
I have reached out to the concerned manager in charge. I hope he follows it up, anyway.

In addition, I decided to make this post because I believe the same fraud cuts across all other social media bounties.

Here is the thing. Some unscrupulous participants of the said Telegram bounty (name withheld) used profile links of some reputable members of this forum whom I believe aren't even aware of this bounty.

The first that caught my eyes as I ran through the spreadsheet was Nullius. I screamed. Instantly, I knew it was someone else using his profile. Nullius was last active here around April. With the little I knew of him while he was active here I can vehemently bet he wouldn't have such luxury of time to indulge a telegram campaign.

Then I looked beneath him and I saw some other users I believe don't even know about the bounty let alone participate in it. Well, to cut the long story short and proffer a solution to a future occurrence I came up with an idea.

It would be a preventive measure if Bounty Managers (especially for social media) would always send a pm to every bitcointalk profile whose links are filled in the Google form as a kind of validation. That way, users get to know whenever a cheater is trying to use their links. I think this will go a long way to keep this bounty cheaters off. Why link someone to a bounty he doesn't even know about.

These illustrations are very apt to the faith most people are keeping up with that despite how bashed cryptocurrency has undergone by some government idiots or how complex the man in the streets think it is, bitcoin will eventually become mainstream.

Going to the topic, I think what makes bitcoin seem difficult is the technicalities involved with the blockchain phenomenon. Non science inclined minds and programmers (including yours truly) always find it slightly hard to understand the workings of the bitcoin because of the manner of innovation involved. Soon, the whole blockchain tech will be easily understood just like how the computer and Internet are today clearly understood.

Keep in a safe wallet. You can get simple but highly trusted wallets like Coinomi or Blockchain even from a Google playstore app on an Android phone. All you must do is ensure you have your passphrase copied out and tucked somewhere safe. I have used these two for over a year now and haven't had any issues with them.

However, you can get other wallet types here through this link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1628282.0

Well, for sane folks like us here who don't own a prison dictionary I felt it was a spelling error of 'Homo'. Thumbs up for the head-on. Come to think of it, the Catholic Church has always been enmeshed in sex scandals of recent. It could be because more virile young men are now absorbed into the seminaries and theological schools. These encaged lust and huge sexual appetites will always seek an outlets for expression. For these pervert priests, they rather stick it in a male than a female to avoid pregnancy talks. Come to think of it, I don't even know why priests don't get married. There's nowhere in the Bible that advises such thing as celibacy. Absolutely, nowhere!

Beyond all that which I bolded in your comment, I think the issue of FUD and lack of regulation are major banes to bitcoin investment. After all, we also have volatility and unpredictability in the Forex market but the FX market is highly regulated and that has come to affirm investors confidence.

Has anyone ever thought of Theymos being in a coma, only to get his gig up once in a year...Every April 1st to play the foolery?

Actually, I have two crazy thoughts and the second is that the dude is incapacitated and sissified by a cabal here.

Dude, are you feigning ignorance or you truly don't know that it's an offence to own an alt? It might not have been a problem from Genesis but there's something that says otherwise now somewhere in revelation here.

From critical observation, it is crystal clear now that what is happening in the market isn't the foretold correction everyone expected. This has lingered far too long. I believe what is keeping the market low at this time is FUD and that lack of confidence where cryptocurrency will be headed next.

Can you re-ead your comment and still maintain the trash you are saying here? You are struggling to farm  unnecessary panic and that won't scale through.Do you think the site would need anyone registering on the site before hacking their accounts when they can afford to visit BTT and copy them?

Except you are suggesting that users used the same password on that site as they used here. Using the same username isn't same as using the same password.


Yes, I quite agree that there were a hell of spammers recruited for the ICOforums site but what about saying it was the highest paying bounty in a short while? I am sure you would've abandoned ships to join in if the campaign had continued longer. I hope they get their acts right and up running again.

Ouch! I bet the admin mistook that "not valid" link for your account. That error should expectedly and speedily be sorted out. You deserve your payment. You should pm the admin at the other forum.

I have also received my payment and I think it's a commendable effort on the ICOforum admin to have stepped up his game to save the ugly situation caused by the absconded manager.

I will wait to see how the whole thing pans out before giving him a positive trust. However, I encourage everyone who has received their payments to comment here.

I only see one user who confirmed he received payment. Anyone else? Trash comment.

Didn't you follow up on the tx ID from etherscan?

The manager has already paid Jnr to Member ranks and will continue with Full Member to Legendary soon today. I am hopeful this is a good bounty. Perhaps you may want to join us at the third week.

Now that I look back on that era with reminiscence, I want to treasure that day. It was an unbelievable time for me and it was just for a registration thingy I did on a social media site for a dude here. I was a freshman then in this forum, like a Jnr Member and the payment was 0.001btc. The value then was around $1. For the fact that I could get my first Bitcoin payment easily delivered to my wallet got me all excited. It was quite a moment.

Patience is a virtue. In fact, it is the major ingredient in crypto trading. Any trader who can't afford that luxury of patience and discipline his psychology always end in losses. Patience is the aggregate of 'Waiting'.

One thing about dream is that the dreamer has to wake up to actualize it. Dreams only become realities when we work towards them. Like that vivid picture in the OP, no one truly knows how close they are to their dreams when the circumstances around that journey become very stiff and tough. When wealthy people recount their stories you will discover that in some cases they came close to quitting.

Quitters don't win. Winners don't quit!

Those days when I did ICOs I was particular about risking just $100 on any project that caught my fancy. So, how many coins that could buy then depended on the project's going price. That's on my average spending. There were instances when I risked less like in the Electroneum ICO where I vested a mere $30.

This almost got my definition except the part where I get to add that coins have their own blockchain and not rely on the blockchain of another existing cryptocurrency. It is in this view that I refer to all ERC cryptos as tokens because they are either built on the ethereum or Waves blockchain. It doesn't matter if the market price is high or not.
