You can prefer mining than investing to those ieos or icos but you can also say that profits are not assured. What if the coins that you have mined has no value and do you think that the time you have used mining that coin is worth it? It seems not, right?
I'm saying that you can also have a mistake with mining if you have mined the wrong coin.

Are we going to consider old projects just because they were already 3 months in existence? that's a basis that should be change and many of the old projects were either scam or no potential. It's no guarantee to say that looking for those kind of projects will make you end up with a legitimate and very good projects. It's a basis which is a sort of not really reliable one. IMO.

Very sad that there are 2 victims already.
These probably are the people that never look into it first and never verify if the giveaway is legit from coinbase or any company which their name has been used by these scammers. I hope that there will be no longer other victims to be added sending bitcoin on that scammers address.

Sometimes the scammers will fake "deposits" to fool unsuspecting victims. I checked the address (which sent the BTC) and judging by the transaction volumes, it might belong to the scammers themselves.
I've never thought of that and yeah that's possible. And the other balance has been sent to another address.

Now I feel the cryptocommunity is somewhat getting more mature than before which is a good thing for the whole industry!  Imho.)
Yeah it's look like the community is learning from all of those past incidents. And it's good to see that there wasn't any addition transaction on that address of scammer.

It's not unreasonable, it's reasonable to be honest. And it's an amazing percentage considering that bitcoin has been not so old kind of investment and has been told with so many bad stories everywhere and mostly on the states and yet, there's that amount of people that owns bitcoin. What are you expecting?
100% of them will be into bitcoin? not everyone would be using or investing in bitcoin and the same goes for other kinds of investing instruments where many are sharing.
7346  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Who is the most interesting / fun person in the crypto space? on: November 10, 2019, 10:34:44 PM
I think I'll choose between Andreas Antonopolous, Changpeng Zhao or Charlie Lee. I think choosing the top choice for me would be hard between Andreas Antonopolous and CZ since both are bullish to bitcoin and advocates of it. While with Charlie Lee, I'd like to ask on how he got a hint with his words about taking seriously the dump before the market actually dumped. And how it's timing when he has sold most of his Litecoin holdings before the bear market.

Andreas Antonopolous can really put the things in his mind into something fearful yet fun to hear specially if he talks about how fiat works and how government can fuck the people without realizing it. Besides discussing how bitcoins works, all these I only learned from him by watching him on youtube. The guy is a legend, I forget to watch my favorite TV series when I see him on youtube.
Yeah, that's how guy narrates and explains the details in a livelier way. He has a lot of things to share and knows more about us and knowing that he's a bitcoin supporter, he should really be heard by those people that are doubtful about bitcoin and with the blockchain technology.
I've watched an interview of him and he's very decent and intelligent that's why I'd already admired him. He's popular these days and I hope that he can make it more exposure on national TV networks.

Maybe him selling actually was one of the causes for the dump. But yeah, it would be interesting to hear what he was actually thinking at that time, or whether he'll stick to the view that he's been communicating publicly.
I don't think that it's was just him that sold it for no reason. I'm thinking that there's sort of insider from larger groups that he's also part of. Yes, he's one of the cause of the dump but what I actually want to know if how on Earth did he knew it that it was coming.
Experience wise, he could tell it simply because of the unusual growth and it's not going up forever but the timing of his action is very well done.

You can't define success from both ends if the two categories are both successful in their own definition and acceptance. Success won't depend on your career whether you are a trader or an investor because both can be a way to become successful.

You you have any skills? From which you have made enough profit or How much amount you loss??
Welcome to share your skills.
I've earned more by just holding. It doesn't have to go with a lot of skill but it's more about patience and your understanding to the market. And the potential loss that I have is during last year, when I did sold during ATH.

How long you've been holding those btc on coinbase? I think they're becoming stricter for their withdrawals these days and wants to verify it first before allowing the transaction.
I'm aware of the consequences upon using web wallets but to be honest, I'm still using them but I'm not holding a huge amount with them, for smallers transactions they are good for me.
7350  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is crypto-powered social network a trend? on: November 08, 2019, 10:04:43 AM
I could if there's an actual reward for it. Unlike Facebook, they don't share their revenue with their users. But if a crypto-blockchain based social media has come and they're rewarding their users on a daily basis even with limitations, I think I'll use them. Just look with Brave Browser, the popularity of it spread like wildfire because of its reward system. And not just that, because of its low consumption to our RAMs as an alternative to chrome, people used it.
This comparison is enough to see the upcoming revolution in the social media platforms, it becomes addictive after first use for the experienced tech-savvy guys. As an alternative to the old fashion Explorer, the browser product of Google changed the look of browsing the internet and the chromium-based alternative browsers compete until today for hitting the best place. The same idea is actual for the blockchain reward distributes social media crypto startups.
There should be a continuous development not just for these browsers as you have given as an example. It's fairly enough to start rewarding users so that they can continue to contribute to each other. Users contributing to the platform, while the platform rewarding the users as sort of recognition for their users. But this kind of business model wouldn't be taken by the old type of social networks because it's kind of hard for them to adjust if this is going to be their case.

7352  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What is your next stop for DX token? on: November 07, 2019, 10:11:37 PM
I keep seeing posts about this DX token and I thought that this is a coin that's above top 500 but little did I know that it belongs to the top 100. Looking at the charts of it, I'm impressed to see that it's pumping and I now think that these people who've been talking about this coin is excited with their profits. But asking trading decisions on the forum shouldn't be your concern, this should be your personal decision because some strangers might go wrong with their opinion which you would blame later.

No one will fall for this unless if you are a newbie.
Sadly they will. I'll advise some friends of mine about this, thanks for posting this Lucius.

Whenever you decided to buy the hardware wallets, never buy them for Ali Baba, Amazon or any third party websites. Only buy from the original manufacturer site like https://shop.ledger.com/ , even if you have to pay a bit extra.
I always recommend people to buy directly from the manufacturer itself or with verified partners but not with any third party sites like amazon, ebay or alibaba. Someone who's not knowledgeable about a ledger wallet wouldn't notice the capacity. And I'm telling it to others because of the robbery that became popular in the past when a guy ordered it on Amazon IIRC and his funds were gone after storing all of his life savings. I think these that are for sale are simply flash drives.
7355  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Statement against people who say Bitcoin is a Scam on: November 06, 2019, 08:57:50 PM
They don't know what bitcoin is, they don't hold it and they've never invested into it. I understand if some of them were once a victim of online scam and they also treat bitcoin could be the same of line as those. But that's the reality and possible reasons why they keep on telling bitcoin is a scam although there's also some existing scams that uses bitcoin as their currency so they misunderstood that it's bitcoin as the whole thing and didn't look at the exact scam platform that they've seen.
7356  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Huobi Global will freeze all US user accounts from November 13 on: November 06, 2019, 08:18:13 PM
It seems that other known exchanges are doing that for the same cause. They can't ignore the US regulation and that's why they are making a separated market for their US customers. And if time will come that they have to close their US market, it's not the problem of the exchange nor the customers but the law itself where they are operating. Too much restrictions for these exchanges to operate on their jurisdiction could also lead to that scenario.
They wont have any option but to comply with it by means on making separate one solely for US customers/users.If not then they would faced up some problems.
Exchangers wont let US market to be separated thats why they do make that partition for them not to lose it out.As mentioned above various known exchangers
already done so and i wont be surprised for others to do the same thing.
Yes, that's all they have to do because if they won't follow what the rules of US they will be facing extreme consequence that will lead to a big loss for the company. US is one big market for them as we know, they just can't fly it away without doing an action.
Huobi is a contender in exchangers that's why expect other exchanges to do the same just for them to comply.
7357  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin Cash Price Prediction 2020 on: November 06, 2019, 07:38:40 PM
Booming? how it could be? BCH is also another altcoin that depends to the authority of bitcoin. No matter how many articles you make just to make the people read and change their perspective that BCH is about to explode by next year, it's no use. Can you remember what happened last year? when bitcoin starts to dump, everything has fallen. BCH has reached its all time high and went broke down too. Bitcoin sets a domino effect and if this fork coin will explode, it all depends to bitcoin but still I highly doubt it.
7358  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: After 3 months of Litecoin halving, its hash rate is lowered more than 60% on: November 05, 2019, 11:13:28 AM
1st, you've posted it on the wrong section. Move this now to Altcoin Discussion. As for the topic, I really expected that Litecoin will move positively because of the halving and thought of something the same for halving movements just as bitcoin but it seems that I were wrong with that. I don't mine and don't know the issues if there's any for the miners. But if hashrate is dropping, it means that it's not that too profitable for the vast miners and probably they're mining other coins now.

It's an actual cryptocurrency and there's too many people that are using it as a payment so that can be easily said that dogecoin isn't just a memecoin but it's also an effective and useful alternative coin. These are the exchanges[1] where you can trade dogecoin.
