I open this thread about Verge:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4995413.msg45059916#msg45059916

But it seems no one cares and know nothing about the current developments that will push the price of the coin.

So I hope that those who hold this coin is very happy with the recent news and the price spike in the last couple of days. Not just Verge but the whole altcoins seems to be recovering now, perhaps this is the start of the rise of the market again.

It looks like its time for XVG to go to the moon with this news.

What are you thoughts about this development?

Will this push the price of XVG again?

I'm not familiar with XVG, I hope someone can chime it about this latest developments.

Yes, there's a big risk on investors or even bounty hunters if ever such hacks occurs:

Of course the project or company should be held accountable because you put trust in them that they are going to secure your personal data. I guess ICO than are requiring KYC now are making it more riskier on our end.

I think some ICO's are also doing some restrictions as well. You can't join if you are amongst the country they don't allowed.

Perhaps if the OP can provide some concrete evidence that they have called a lot of scam ICO's then its going to be easy for us to take him seriously. However, it doesn't make sense to come out with another ICO and raised funds (correct if me I'm wrong), to fight against scammy one.

You can call them anytime here in the forum and post proof that they are indeed scammers with fake teams, plagiarised white papers, github repositories with nothing to show or updates, etc.

Its hard to stop those ICO's, they are like 2 steps ahead, but doing due diligence is our best weapon and this forum's Scam Accusations thread is a good way to snoop https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0 and see ICO projects being mentioned as a fraud.

I'm not really sure if there's a correlation between festivities and bitcoin pump. This year alone, everyone thought that we can go back again after the end of Chinese New Year, but it didn't happened.


Might be the case but I don't think is the major contributory factor to rise if even we are going to see a good price. There's has to be something of a catalyst, that will really swayed investors sentiments to renewed their interest on the market again, Hopefully this could be the approval of ETFs, but if you looked at more senior members here, they are not sold and probably we might see a rejection just like they rejected 9 before the Van Eyck/Solid X proposal due on end of September.

How about the evidence in first page of this thread? Not enough to link those 2 accounts?

Guess what, the drama still continues but from what I read, people haven't get paid yet. At the end of the day, ICOforums will have a lot of catching up to do to be able to regain their reputation.

The first thing that I've noticed is that your website is not secure.
Edit: Sorry it has been answered already.

So its looks like odesk or whatever its called today, but its more focus on blockchain technology developers so its unique. However, when I try to click "F.A.Q" and "about us", its not responding, it is still under construction? Or probably add like "T.O.S" as well so that potential clients will know everything beforehand.

First, there's no so called experts in this field. Most of them are just speculators, making bold predictions to also fit into their agenda.

Second, I surmise that in order for bitcoin to rise dramatically again, it needs a tipping point. It really have to rock-bottom allowing investors and speculators to enter the picture with interest again because the price is too tempting and swoop and take advantage of the situation to be a bag holder and stash even more.

@BitcoinPanther, if the author is giving us fair warning then its good, but the title is somewhat misleading. You will initially thought it was creating panic and fear amongst investors specially noobs.

I would call it a dilemma, bounty hunters have 2 choices, either dump their coins one they got it or seriously but the risk of having this tokens plummeting is there. We have witnessed a lot of ICO campaigns never got to reach their ICO price again because of the sudden pump of bounty hunters.

But there are tokens worth holding but its really difficult for bounty hunters because we are in the bear season. Everyone is dumping as soon as they got their hands on their tokens. You can't blame them though, they have work very hard weeks after weeks so they deserved their payments.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/343127/number-bitcoin-atms/

I'm assuming based on the statistics on that website, people are using ATM's because its growing year-to-year. At a business standpoint, why would someone put a ATM when people are not going to used it?

So for me, people are actually using it but we might not have the statistics. And as crypto adoption grows overtime, perhaps people will find convenience using Bitcoin ATM just like regular fiat ATM in my opinion.

I agree that there is a strong support along the line of $6K, but we can't really tell if we have bottom this year because everyone is waiting for the final verdict on Van Ecyk / Solid X ETF proposal. I know that everyone calls not to get excited or don't get infatuated with this hype.

But I'm seeing a short term effect if the SEC will (likely) reject this proposal. Panic selling will follow that's why I'm not totally sold on saying that we will never seen Bitcoin bottom again this year. Let's wait till the final verdict and see how it pans out in Oct-Dec 2018.

No bitcoin mining will not be obsolete. What those company are saying that their sales are declining, and it coincides with the price of crypto plummeting this year. Last year they are booming and their boards are running out of stocks, even gamers are complaining that Nvidia and AMD GPU are very expensive because crypto miners are using them.

So its pretty obvious that there's some price correlation going on. But it doesn't mean that crypto mining is obsolete or something. Let's wait next year when crypto started to bounce back again, I'm sure that both companies will make a lot of revenues similar to 2017.

As of the moment, I should say yes, its the last bottomed we seen. However, we still have the September news coming from SEC, so it might have a bad effect on the market if the news suddenly went on a disapproval.

So we can't really tell unless we see a dramatic rise in the next coming months and we can totally say that we are out of the woods for another bottom this year.

Make sense for them to moved to Singapore because its crypto friendly. I think top exchanges have a plan B, just like Binance and OKex moving to Malta.

So I'm not surprise by their move, I wouldn't call it aggressive though, perhaps its a business decision on their end to shift their HQ to a more friendly nation like Singapore so that they can still operate without any pressure from the government.

I do hope that this rise is sustainable at least and not another bull trap. We have been expecting that Sept will be the start of something big and I think we are still on track. Everyone is excited to see the price being bump today but we cannot rule out that someone might be manipulating the price from behind so its better to observed how the market will go specially coming this September.

Majority of us here doesn't know what crypto is back in 2014. I'm haven't checked the historical logs though, the last stop I did was 2016. But it like every 1 to 2 years we will have this bearish trend followed by a dramatic rise. So it history repeats itself we might see bitcoin going up next year.

Its profitable to hold. But the question is how long are you willing to hold?

My guesstimate is that at this trend, we should hold for more than a year. It is expected that this trend will continue up to 2019. So if you are a holder, you should look at 2019 as the best year you will see good profits. Everyone lost at this bearish trend, specially if you are a holder. But no need to sell everything, have patience and I'm sure that we all gonna see a good returns specially next year.

I wonder no one mentioned about KYC. Bitmain are now enforcing to KYC if you are going to get hardware from them. The only reason I got is because of their IPO. Is Bitmain really losing grounds that they needed this IPO thingy? Or because of reportedly holding BCH, which drops significantly, perhaps they needed another source of funding right now. But I don't think it will have any impact to the price of crypto though. Might just put some hype, but that's it, nothing of significant to be expected.

Yes, its pretty obvious that you will see a huge jump then suddenly in matter of minutes the price goes -300%. So it really doesn't make sense to day trade.

Good that you look at it like gambling, very unpredictable and whatever tools you used are useless once those manipulators started to used their "magic wand" and turn the price to their favor.

And it really boils down to control. They are really suppressive and just imagine if crypto took off in their country. That's why I'm not surprised by this news and it seems they are really irrelevant haven't they? Although Bitmain still has the monopoly but sooner or later their government will take care of it as well. They really wanted to eradicate everything that's relates to crypto so its logical that Bitmain will be the next target and the puzzle will now be complete.
