How to identify suspicious projects? checking the team behind the crypto project is useless on determining if its scam or not, nowadays its just easy to create a fake account , so even you are checking it carefully you will never know if the information you are reading is fake or not.

even checking the white paper is nonsense. a friend showed me an ICO that seems to be good, and a couple of weeks later they took all the money and left the coin, that's why I don't like to invest in ICOs and any new project, hopefully we'll have more tools to know when to invest in a good project, that way people are going to invest more in their great project.

Many ICO projects fail because many are disliked by investors and the community, ICO sales are difficult to predict and rarely reach softcap, for example the CMA project can be said to be a failure because the funds can not reach the target and even though it has been listed at IDAX, Forkdelta and Felixo keep the tokens into rubbish of no value, and the project is difficult to develop on the exchange.

Hi, I've been out of crypto for a long time. I left after making the dumb move of not selling during the bubble and told myself I'd come back in a few years which is now.

However, I saw that BCH has split into BCHABC and BCHSV.
And it was a while ago too. I've been gone for a while.

However, I still have BCH Presplit on my ledger nano.
Is there still a way to split the BCH?

Are there any exchanges that could do it automatically?

Thanks

changes are inevitable and must be included. imagine running a bounty of 10,000,000 total worth of the project token distributed across different social media tasks. Towards the end of the campaign, you realize the participants are fewer than anticipated for. You will be left with no other choice than to reduce the bounty allocation because if not, you will just be given your token for free which will be dump immediately you are able to list it in any exchange which will affect any cadre of investors.

In my own point of view, the reason why ICO projects have very good rating because some of them are paid for advertising or promoting those projects, which i suggest don't be fooled by those ratings because you might get scammed. Some comments and ratings in this forum are also not legitimate because they are also paid especially for low rank members, that is why you should only depend on members that has high rank because some of their comments are very informative and useful.

I am not agree to compare bitcoin popularity just based on price. Answer of your title is, NO. Really no one losing interest from bitcoin. But newbies are not interested to take entry on bitcoin lately due to fair of loss. The volatility of bitcoin is higher and trend is down. So situation is pretty confusing. That's why newbies are bit worried about buy bitcoin now. It doesn't mean existing holder are losing interest. So many people still holding tight. I think current environment is bit against bitcoin and that's why its downtrend. We have to encourage newbies regarding uses of bitcoin so more people will be interested to it. Just don't explain about quick rich method, bitcoin isn't really a quick rich method.

Greeting all,

I own a decent amount of Bitcoins which were made honestly with right investment & timing since 2012.
During 2017 until 2019, i invested in many different projects and 99% of my investment got wiped almost instantly during 2019.

I did recover some of my losses with the IEO hype but it seems the IEO hype is over now.
I know the right answer is to HODL and just let the sit back and relax but it wont grow my Bitcoins amount.

I read about many so called Bitcoin Banks, Projects,  who promise you 3% interest annually, simply don't believe in holding your bitcoins in one place for such a long time.

So how would you increase your bitcoins?

The only option is to stop investing on that crap project and stop promoting it also,.
but if investors continue doing it even they know what possible can be happen  then we cannot do anything its thier choice .
after too many lost money they will able to understand why they should stop it.

The only thing we can do about scammers is to integrate the regulations. The majority of our community is still against any kind of regulations, so it may not happen at all, but in my opinion it is necessary, because the amount of scam projects keeps raising.

private keys are indeed a problem that is often done for a beginner. some of them sometimes forget or don't even save it. I also never paid attention to it, and when I lost it, it became a very important lesson for me.

It is true that we need to pay attention to the private keys that we have, such as ATM cards, or our bankbooks, because when you lose it, you lose all your assets. some people try to cover this using hard wallets, but most people save their private keys on hard disks and other data storage places.

Truth as Fck. This is the reality, Disregarding all scalability or whatevs weakpoints of BTC. In reality, You can count in your finger nails those peoples holding huge volume of BTC and any moment. They can dump down to zero the BTC price. This is sucks about BTC. Since the price was already soar high, all early investors and miners can manipulate the price.

I like to participate in IEOs and ICOs that do not have KYC.  I'm now afraid to participate in projects that requiring KYC, because there are issues about identity that being sold in the Black market.   

Stable coins are not a threat to bitcoin. In terms of trading and earning a profit from volatility bitcoin is still more attractive to stable coin. Stable coin on the other hand is attractive to merchants since the price is not volatile. In some way there are some market impacts on bitcoin but the impact of stablecoin is not much of a threat to bitcoin market.

I think this is an easy answer for youre query mate. Of course participating in IEO, dont ever buy tokens after the IEO or already on the exchange this is very risky cause most projects tend to pump on its first week then suddenly will go down. Of course if you bought during its high season then it go low youll be having huge losses there. So if you dont able to join IEO then dont invest yet and wait for it to go down on their IEO price.

Somehow I doubt that he is personaly engaden in supporting Bitcoin just because this is his attitude. Probably there are some strong political reasons behind that, probably connected with Russia like you penzioner.
I don't know how much real power president has  in Ukraine but somehow I doubt that he can push positive Bitcoin regulation on his own.

It's okay, as long as the source of the money is legitimate, users need not fear. Nevertheless, this can still be bypass by using some non-custodian wallets, and dealing with sellers using a peer-peer trusted system. This is largely available for bitcoin traders in my country because of the much demand for bitcoin.

Yes, you're right. Bitcoin will not be able to reach $1M if all country ban it but for now not all countries ban bitcoin and there are now countries that started to recognize bitcoin due to its good qualities that government find it a very big help to boost their economy so I think that's what you've said won't happen for real.
