781  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why people are excited everytime we see a new coin without knowing it first on: October 14, 2019, 09:13:09 AM
Only not so smart people are acting in this way

Or greedy, or poor, or newbies, or people in a difficult situation, people with addictions and many more.

We cannot generalize. There's many personality types and traits that describe people. Going in blind and working for a possible scam coin is a bad idea but people are doing it and will keep on doing it. Where there's money there will be people ready to do anything to get it.
Reality inside this industry. People are willing to take chances to be part of any new projects that being introduced,  taking places to acquire early position by investing or bounty hauntings without further investigations.
They are after with quick benefits and fear of losing opportunities, this types of behaviors are the reason why scammers are not having any problems working inside this market. Support are there when you give interesting offers. Both bonuses or high rewards for bounties.
Inexperienced bounty hunters are always on the go to participate in newly launched project without further research, once they have known the allocated funds for bounty they will support it without knowing if chances of being a scam project is high or will it be a good project. Scammers targeted these kind of people because they know that they take the bait once they show them a promise that will be impossible to happen.
782  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC- When it back to 20k on: October 14, 2019, 05:01:24 AM
Dear all,

I bought 2 BTC when it were 18k USD/1BTC and lost all my other assets with BCC 400usd.
I still have been keeping them with the belief that it will recover and over 20k.
it is too long time and that makes me so tired, i need money to invest a plan,but there is no money
Do you have any idea?

thanks
That is one of the common mistake of investors, buying at peak will only lead you to losses. But somehow it's good to see that you're still holding after a year of your investment.
No one can tell when is the next bull run, But it will be profitable for you if it will come since you have invested 2 BTC and you will be glad to yourself and see the result of you being patient for a long year.
783  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Libra partner drop out on: October 14, 2019, 04:21:15 AM
Visa, mastercard, ebay, paypal, drop out from libra..
will libra still continue ...? why one by one partner liba drop out.? https://twitter.com/coindesk/status/1182747730248118280?s=21
I see very small possibilities that Libra as a project will continue, as soon as Facebook made the announcement all the governments of the world immediately refused to let Facebook have their way and it is easy to understand why, if Facebook were to release its own coin then you will have billions of potential users of cryptocurrencies, even if there were very strict regulations it will be impossible to monitor everyone.

And what it is even worse it will give all of those people access to this market, if Libra went live I will not be surprised if the market cap of bitcoin doubled in less than a month as such it was imperative that governments stopped Libra before it launched.

I agree that it is somehow imperative for the governments to stop Libra at all cost before it is launched. Such project after all is too disruptive of the fiat system that it might really give more than just a tiny dent. And the actions of the governments are not really to protect the people from the project, it is to protect the current system to crumble down. If Facebook and all its partners will continue with the project, there will be more similar massive projects that will follow. And the governments cannot contain all of these.
The result is still 50/50, as the situation of libra right now, it will be hard for them to make another step. If they somehow manage to create an alternative plan on this kind of situation they may be able to stand even if their partners drop out on their partnership, and even government can't stop them from making a progress. Further announcement should be release soon for this matter and if it is positive for the side of Libra, this may help for them to make a new action plan.

Without hard ware wallet you can safe your private key with access correct myetherwallet website, you have check the myetherwallet social media and looking which one theircorrect website, bookmark in your browser and always use your bookmark browser when you acces to myetherwallet, it will make your data and your private key always safe if you running based on what have I give you way how to access to your wallet.
What I have been doing is keeping my private keys to a safe place like google drive and an extra copy to my flash drive. Saving bookmarks for wallets and websites can also give more security to avoid phishing. Avoiding to download any unnecessary applications can also help to secure and avoid from affecting your computer to malware and viruses.
785  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Experience from day one on: October 14, 2019, 03:11:08 AM
The bounty campaign now is not too profitable as in 2017, and I think they cannot survive in the long bear market that still happens until now. But we don't know if, in one day, the bounty campaign will rise again because the possibility to reach their glory will still be there. The problem right now is so many people get scam from the previous project. They still thinking to invest in the project, and that makes the project cannot running as their plan. It is a hard situation for every project because they need to work in the unpredicted market while they still trying to convince the investor and people to join with them.
If we compare bounty when 2017-2018, there is really a big difference. We rarely become a victim of scam project. There's only a few bounty hunters where its rare to meet a 200-300 participant per campaign.
These days, most bounty campaigns are scam and not profitable anymore, most of them are just making a money from their investors and wasting bounty hunters time.
786  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: !!! SO MANY PROJECTS !!! What 's going on ? on: October 13, 2019, 02:08:56 PM
New projects make good news of good things to happen
Are they all right ?
Or are they all just chanting slogans ?

REALLY!!!  What 's going on ?
If you know a good project ,NAME IT !!!
Finding a good campaign is just easy, but finding a profitable project is not easy as you think.
Further investigation is required to avoid the scam projects.

No one will be naming a good project here, you should find it by your own. Stop asking everyone to spoon-feed you. Bounty hunters should be taking their time to find a good project and not asking it from someone else.
787  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Scammers, the biggest crypto problem on: October 13, 2019, 01:22:05 PM
Scammers are always there, far and wide. Not only investors but also every individual consider them as a big trouble in every investment.
Even crypto community wasn't able to escape from them. They were treated as a big threat, and also as a result the honor of cryptocurrency is damaged. For this reason, investors become wary of investing in cryptocurrency, to escape from being a victim of those scammers.
788  Economy / Economics / Re: Taxless society idea on: October 13, 2019, 10:47:51 AM
Our economy would definitely die without taxes. Honestly, it's really a burden for most of us to pay taxes but we can't just eliminate it for our own good. Our taxes are allocated in a lot of departments which would benefit the economy and society. It's a burden yet a part of the circulation of the economic needs so we got no choice but to be responsible to do it as our duties. Everything must be put into balance, the taxes, the printing of money and the role of cryptocurrency.
A country can't survive without having this, Taxes are the life of the country it's need to pay your obligations so the government can act and perform things that's needed around their jurisdictions. Implemented taxes is design to returned the favor to the citizens by providing the needs of the entire communities. Without collecting this obligations we also will not see any improvements from the society.
I strongly agree that taxes is very important in a country because it is a contribution of every citizen in their country. The reason why we pay taxes to our government because it provides the needs of every citizen in their country which they can also use it to build establishments like public schools, hospitals, highways, centers and many more, that is why without paying taxes it will be difficult for us to build such establishment and improve a certain country. People just don't want to pay taxes due to corruption that they don't trust their government that they will use it for good.
It is truly important, taxes are not only used for the development of the country itself, but also to fund new discovery and upgrades we need in life. We have technology today because of our tax, tax is being used to buy goods and services from other country, and services from government officials/public sectors. If tax does not exist, a county won't be called a country anymore.
789  Economy / Economics / Re: Can a Stock Market Crash affect Bitcoin? on: October 13, 2019, 09:27:31 AM
It can affect the bitcoin but in good terms. If the stock market crashes then the people who invested there especially the newbies will be in panic and they will withdraw their money from their stock investments and they will look for something better with a higher profit margin and that would be Bitcoin and if they will transfer from stock market into bitcoin then it will trigger a price pump for bitcoin.
There are two possible things to happen to bitcoin if stock market will crash.

First thing is, its possible for the price of bitcoin to rise since investors will transfer their investment to bitcoin which can increase the demand and that will result to pump.
Second thing is, it is also possible for bitcoin price to fall same as the stock market. Why? because investors will put their investment into safety where they avoid the market even in cryptocurrency, they will probably pull out their investment which will result for the fall of bitcoin price.
790  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Did you arrange a meet up or make a gathering with local bitcoin community? on: October 13, 2019, 07:05:53 AM
Arranging and planning a get together or meeting or an seminar about bitcoin would really help a lot in spreading news and positivity about bitcoin and the whole cryptocurrency world for sure.
What they reaction if they read or see a slogan of Bitcoin?
I'll bet no one will pay any interest in joining here in my town, they are all thinking that bitcoin is just a scam and will not help their life. I know this because I already told them many times about bitcoin and they refuse to listen and bad mouth me about it.
Reputation of bitcoin is really bad in some countries where it is known as a type of investment scam or pyramiding. Once they heard about it they start to avoid topics which is crypto related. Most of people around my place also think that bitcoin will not gonna have a future and its just a tool for illegal activities.
It would be beneficial if bitcoin community would gather a seminar to explain and help those kind of people to fully understand the use and how does bitcoin is working.
791  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to Identify Cryptocurrency Scams on: October 13, 2019, 05:51:38 AM
Just checking with telegram channel group because there are many member of bounty and ICO investor, we know with scam bounty campaign or ICO investment with thousand respond about this campaign and ICO, many investor will said true about what his investment and have check with team, owner look real or fake, just check few hours you will know about bounty or ICO is scam or not.
You can also validate if the team is real maybe they are just using fake identities to gather investors. Nowadays checking for the popularity of the project is not enough just like before, you really have to see if the project itself is possible to conquer crypto world where they can be another crytpto that will be the topic of many crypto websites.
792  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: What makes you still join the bounty campaigns? on: October 13, 2019, 05:04:07 AM
Even bounty is not profitable like 1-2 years ago, but there are still several bounties that paid well but with efforts too.
We're just have to be patient with current condition because it's just following the crypto condition, when cryptocurrency becomes trend again, i think there are a lot of investors in any projects and it means bounty will pay a lot
With so many projects circulating around the market finding a good bounties is really difficult. The chance of getting decent profits is in question, since there's no clear assurance that the project will succeed and be listed inside exchange. Joining bounty as part of privilege if you find good one that have real usage and real developers that will continue the progress after being funded by early investors.
It is really hard to find a decent bounty to join with, being part of a paying bounty campaign is just a miracle for most of us.
I rarely participate in bounty campaign nowadays because I'm waiting for the time to come, just like before where we can freely choose a bounty campaign that will pay its participant with decent bounty and having a bounty campaign to successfully launched in an exchange.
793  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin coins are losing popularity? on: October 13, 2019, 03:25:31 AM
maybe after I thought the popularity of bitcoin won't just disappear even though there are countries that don't allow bitcoin mining or investing with it, and maybe there are still many other investors who want to invest with bitcoin and there are still other countries that want to use bitcoin as digital money to transact with easy and safe especially now because more and more people are interested in bitcoin.
It wont disappear, if the time comes that bull run will come again in crypto world, it will become a topic of many people including in social media.
Many investors are still interested in cryptocurrency because they find it easy and profitable investment. The trust of investors is still in there waiting for the right time to invest again.
794  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Fortnite, PUBG, DOTA 2, Hearthstone, Apex coming to blockchain? Mass adoption? on: October 13, 2019, 02:37:54 AM
Esports or gaming industries really fit well using blockchain or crypto for their payment method.
Because the ease of access and to handle the problem that sometimes users are topped up but the "cash" is not arrived yet, they can easily look at the blockchain link.
It is not fitting well for the company who manages e-sports.
Steam decided to add bitcoin as a payment option on year 2017, it didn't run well due to high fees and the volatility of cryptocurrency. They stop using bitcoin as a payment method after realizing it. Cryptocurrency as a payment option is still undeveloped. there's a lot of flaws that needs to be fixed before it can finally become accepted even in esports industry.
795  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: hardware wallets safe? on: October 13, 2019, 01:20:17 AM
I personally think it is safe as an offline wallet offers the highest level of security for storing crypto is it involves storing the funds in a secured place that is not connected to any network. This type of wallet can also offer good protection against computer vulnerabilities. The hardware wallets are the best type of offline wallet that offers very high security and ease of use. Also, as these wallets allow backup, you can easily recover your funds if you lose this device.

One such example of a hardware wallet is Trezor. It operates as secure cold storage. You can easily transfer bitcoins to the device using the Trezor interface, which is accessible from macOS, Linux, Windows, and Android. Its interface is quite easy to use that lists your coins and recent transactions.

Trezor uses a 12 to 24-word seed for protection and recovery and a user-defined PIN. You can also add an encrypted passphrase to your wallet for an added layer of security.

what say u?

For now I have never used a hardware wallet. I am interested in the wallet, but I am not experienced in this. What if the hardware wallet is damaged, can the data still be retrieved?
There are some ways to recover it, there's a tutorial you can watch from youtube but as far as I know not all the damaged or corrupted hardware wallet can be retrieve. All of the crypto in hardware wallet will be put to waste, that's why protecting your hardware wallet is necessary to protect what's inside.
796  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: How does a perfect Bounty Campaign looks like? on: October 12, 2019, 04:01:06 PM
Hey guys,


I would like to know from alle the Bounty hunters what aspects you wish to have in a bounty campaign and what makes you start participating?

Whats your thought on affiliate links?


Looking forward to discussion


Cheers

Your Stag3 Team
I think everyone has their own views and ways of choosing a bounty campaign. For me personally, the activeness of the team behind it is important because to see how active the project is to develop and attract investors to invest in it.

We all have different perspective when looking for a bounty campaign. But in particular, most of bounty hunters are looking for a bounty campaign which has a good reputation, a good team and a goal to become successful when launching in the market. A bounty campaign where we can see its future like how we can see popular cryptocurency in the market right now.
797  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: short term or long term investing on: October 12, 2019, 03:30:08 PM
I am more interested in investing in the long term rather than the short term, to avoid worries about the unpredictable market situation lately.
and I chose Bitcoin and Ethereum for long-term investment because I'm sure Both will provide maximum results even though I have to wait patiently and for a long time.
Investor tend to do long term investing because it gives us more opportunity to earn much profit than short term investment. We are able to get what percentage of profit we want to receive. Choosing long term investment will also give you maximum profit that you can only get in a long period of investing. It is the best choice when having an investment.
798  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Scammers, the biggest crypto problem on: October 12, 2019, 09:21:19 AM
Scammers will never disappear and that's a big problem also in the real world scamer is always there, especially in the cryptocurrency world, and indeed scamer is looking for a loophole to steal money from investors in the digital world that is easily hacked so we must be careful.

I also do not imagine Binance is a big exchange but scamer is also the most widely seen from the order of the article. what is the solution from CZ about this.
as long as there is money included, there will always be a scammer. They always targeted those people who gives low priority of security from their cryptocurrency and also where there is investor involve, and in crypto all investment can be done.
799  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: is this still possible today? on: October 12, 2019, 04:42:25 AM
I just find out that some coins might start with very low volume and marketcap and end up growing big? true or false? i tracked back some old coins that start with trading volume around 6k and end up in millions, is this still possible today?

I think it all depends on the project developers themselves to always grow the coins they have launched. several types of coins that originally had low volumes can now reach millions of trading volumes, it is because the development team is always trying to grow the value of the coins themselves
some projects that I know are the same as that. we know that when the project is finished selling, it takes time until the product is fully cooked, and can be used. this makes the beginning of trading does not have a large volume. however, when the product is truly utilized, I think the demand will increase, and experience a large increase in volume.

That's right, it all depends on the type of project. however, I feel that when a team works very well, I think it can happen.
We can see the growth of the project if it is already fully developed, where everything they need to be done is already polished.
Those project can increase the price of their coin and its demand, it is still possible as long as the project is good and the developers wont stop to develop the project.
800  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why it is important to lose Bitcoin to an incorrect wallet address on: October 12, 2019, 03:57:49 AM
Losing money is never a good thing, and people are busy and can make mistakes. This is a bit of a weird post but I am guessing your underlining message is that if you lose money, you will be 100x more careful in the future and never lose money again.

Just check addresses all the time, make sure it's the same coin and check the first and last 4 letters of an address and you should never need to lose money to learn this.
The OP's point is the more we lose the supply of bitcoin it is possible to increase its price.
But it is actually not good to say that it is important to lose our money when it comes to sending funds to incorrect wallet. Money is not something to waste, we should be careful and not let something like this to happen.
