Its already up by $3K, if you are going to look at the last bottom price of $6500 of bitcoin and ETH almost touch $700. But yes, the market is going green zone now and all investors are a happy bunny seeing their portfolio growing.

I hope though that everyone bought when the price is still cheap, especially altcoins, because once is moves, is really hard to stop them and you can make a lot of profits, you just have to understand when to get out and exit on time.

Just a minute of Google search will return a lot of similar thread in the forum. I think you can find the answers on the thread that I have mentioned above.

I have invested on 2 ICO, but so far I'm disappointed with the price and the return is not what I'm expected it to be currently. But since this bitcoin bull run, I'm seeing one of them gaining steam as well and I'm about break even on the other one but still a look way to go but I'm cool with that.

I believed in the project and I'm sure that it will explode in the next coming months when the devs finally got it going so again, I'm not too worried about selling it today, but would rather hold on it longer term. So right now, I would say I'm still on the negative with my money. But just like what they say, invest what you can afford to lose so I'm still OK.

It gives me a chuckle that the OP has put Bitcoin Cash as his somewhat example about the crypo sphere waking up. I don't have any investment of Bitcoin Cash to be honest, so I didn't realized that it has gotten to a point of rising 80%? lol.

Again, we have seen this price movement on Bitcoin Cash around November after the forked. But we all know that is a pure pump-and-dump and its very unorganic growth that eventually crash and the so called real Bitcoin suddenly lose its steam.

If they are gaining now, there a big chances that the same pattern will repeat again so I advise everyone to be very careful so that you will not be trap in the long run.

Correct, you worked very very hard to promote those project but at the end, they will just disappear and pull a exit and you are not paid for all the efforts you put in promoting them. I have seen like spending 2-5 months and then one day you wake up and the bounty threads are full of complains and scam accusation being thrown around.

And imagine what it really brings to investors. Specially those who have put a lot of money and believing that devs behind are legit, the project genuine but you are betrayed and your money gone very quickly.

Yeah, I'm too excited to see Ethereum just surpasses $600 and going an inch closing to $700. Who would have thought that it can suddenly surges ahead because last week it was just above $400 and people are bitching around that it can go even further and that it may not even get to $1K this year. But lo and behold, the market wakes up, specially bitcoin. So we all know that there's correlation between the two, so when bitcoin goes up, all other alts increased as well. Exciting to see that finally, the bulls have regained the market and we might see a good run starting this week.

1. Store of Value
2. Currency


In the wake of global financial crisis in 2008, Satoshi has more reason to create bitcoin because of this. He wanted to have a form of digital money without any government interfering in the middle (banks).

So it sets a unprecedented scale of people joining the crypto bandwagon because we think that without any intermediaries, we are enjoying this freedom from governments and central banks. That's why you will see governments around the world trying to put a clamp on crypto because they can't really ignore that fact that it is so disruptive and they are going to be the first casualty (banks).

I didn't see someone says soft and hard cap? Do you think its one factor to look at a new ICO project? I mean if soft and hard cap is doable I guess that project can at least took off, compare to raising so high soft cap and it the end will just shut down the project regardless on how the team behind is solid, how the white paper is written, how good the project is and business model.

But if the soft cap is not reached because they have set it too high it will eventually fail because the funds is not enough to push the project forward. What you guys think?

I don't think that EOS will have enough push or support to beat Ethereum as this point. Both technologies looks solid and the devs behind are really good at what they are doing at.

One thing though I noticed about EOS is that it holds more ETH than the Ethereum foundation. And imagine ICO is still ongoing. So I don't know if this is just another hype around EOS or its really the real deal. Let's see how its pans out, but personally, I don't think that EOS won't take Ethereum's place even though it has raised a lot of funds as per ICO.

Its because there's no positive news that will really push the price from $6K-$7K levels in short amount of time. Frankly, I was surprised at all and I try to look at every news so see what might seems to influence the sudden jump.

Maybe there's no single contributory factor to the sudden pump but its good thing that the increase is sustainable at least at this very moment because it has broken the next mental barrier ($8500). Maybe the next question would be, will the growth another bull trap or is this a sustainable and the start of a bull run that we all been waiting for?

Exactly, he received free tokens thru airdrop and now he is doubting if the ICO is legit or not? Are you doubting because what you got is so high? The only way to find out is on April 26. But be sure that you be online to witness everything or even dump your token at the very beginning because we all know that usually when the token hits a trading exchanges is either the price pumps so hard or the price suddenly goes on a downward spiral.

So its really up to you what you gonna do with the token. But I agree, I would also dump it and not wait for the price to be pump. Base on other bounties I joined, I waited resulting in the tokens losing its values overtime.

I will be pissed off if I'm a investor of this Savedroid ICO and I wouldn't surprised that we will not get anymore trust because of this stunt. I agree that he wanted to convey a message, but it not the appropriate way to bring your message across. What if someone who invested tons of money and seeing that the website and all social media account is gone. There is a possibility that investor will be depressed and might committed suicide.

So I would say that this prank has done more harm than good and he lost all his credibility here. That motherf**** playing pranks when millions of dollars is on the line is no laughing joke.

Yeah, CME and CBoE bitcoin future contract offerings in December really push the price to its all-time-high. However, after that the price went on a spiral and we bottom at $6K with almost 80% downtrend. I'm not saying that the UK bitcoin future contracts is going to bad on the market, what I'm trying to say is that we have seen what happen before, and I hope that the pattern will not be the same.

Currently the price goes up around $8500 which is a good sign that maybe this announcement made a lot of UK investors push their cash on the market. But lets see, its too early to say what's the effect long term.

There's  still a small percentage around the world that uses bitcoin as far as I know. Although its growing at a astronomical rate but I don't think we even have reached like 5-10% of usage globally.

Of course there are weaknesses and this are being taken advantage of hackers, scam artist , criminals and even terrorist. That's why government is very adamant to even accept bitcoin. although it has advantage for most of us, its just sad that there are also a lot of people who exploited it to their advantage.

No, I haven't heard about that token suite so I can't say if they are going to pay or not. We all gonna learn if they are going to pay until the end of ICO right? So there's no one can say for certain.


Ok, you have been paid from the previous campaign then why are questioning them? As bounty hunters you should know that there are risk involved because you are promoting something that is not really out of the market yet so there's really a possibility that someone will run off with investors money and scam everyone including bounty hunters.

Sadly we all know that most crypto's and token transactions are irreversible and no name attached to it, so I doubt that you have the chance to get it back. The only thing I can think of is that you are probably phished, that's why he was able to gain access to your private keys.

And really sorry that you lost a lot of money mate, and I just checked the account and it looks like it all happened like 7 hours ago. All we can do right now and just be vigilant and really take care of our accounts  because those hackers are really targeting everyone here, specially those account who have a fairly huge amount on their wallets.

But we may not see that day because even though that bitcoin dominance is going down, it still remain on top of the list. And we all know that there seems to be correlation between bitcoin and all other alts.

If bitcoin is down, it maybe a possibility that investors are shifting their funds on altcoin market. But when bitcoin is going up, one can speculate that people offloading some of their altcoin portfolios and moving it to bitcoin ecosystem. So I can't see any other coins standing up on its own and not relying on bitcoin's price movement.

Bitcoin went from as high as almost $20K last December and then we see it dramatic fall to $6K. So yeah, its looks like it has been burst.


Of course, crypto currency is fairly young. I don't know how many have known it or how many have investment on it. Probably around 1-5% of the total population. So there's still a lot of growth in the next coming years.


Again, despite all this crackdown from government around the world, the number one reason that bitcoin could rise is that people think that is one of the best investment to grow your money in short amount of time. Plus it can be used to transfer money around the world with less cost and fast as compare to a traditional wire transfer.

Very nice. I hope though that you have that mental toughness to hold that coins in your wallet so that you can realized your dreams of becoming a crypto millionaire. That is, if your prediction (or John McAfee) will hold true.

As much as everyone here is bullish about bitcoin, but 1 million = 1 BTC is far fetched in my opinion. Anyways if you are really interested in you are still in the mark towards 1 million, here's a bitcoin price tracker for you,

Its all about John McAfee's prediction. And based on his computation, bitcoin is 3.xxx % below the forecast based on the current price.

You made a good point. He is old and experience and knows all the tricks in the books. By riding the popularity of bitcoin and blockchain, he might look good for young investors and potentially get them on his business and will result in a instant boom and profit on his end.

He probably was in when the price hits bottom and now he is pumping it just like what other influencer is doing. Pumping it in a good way so that he can make more profit and then make his decision to continue or not.
