Also, it doesn't help when you have a negative trust rating - even if it is not related to the sale of a token. If anyone actually falls for this scam then many more will come into play, not good for bitcointalk. If it's an innocent attempt at selling a token not knowing it's not real, then it's an unfortunate situation for the OP

To attract any whales it needs to have big name backers or a large company with a reputable history. If james draper is on board then people will flock to it, otherwise if it's a group of people hidden behind a shuterstock profile then forget about it

Airdrops comprise of 95% shitcoins so you have to apply to everything in order to find that hidden gem. Most people don't have the time or energy to waste on these crap airdrops as they can earn more just day trading in one day

Prices depend less on usability and more about promotion and shilling. Even the most pointless shitcoins can go up multiple times during any market situation. SONM just needs a bit more hype to get things moving

The golden cross caused a nice pump a few years so it is assumed that history would repeat itself. However, we all know that crypto is very unpredictable so it hasn't happened yet but that's not to say it won't shoot for the moon very soon

Cardano has released a major update and investors are starting to gain confidence in this project. It is still heavily undervalued so buying now is a good opportunity for long term high gain potential - especially as it caters extremely well for the financial sector

As BSV has also been delisted from kraken and other major exchanges it is safe to say that bsv is officially a shitcoin that should be dumped at the earliest opportunity. Don't expect any prices rises, get out while you can

There are many new'ish projects that haven't developed anything yet despite earning millions in an ICO. Others have achieved a usable product but the value of the token has fallen below the ICO price. New projects need to be something special for it to succeed

Good to hear that the monorepo is finally here. Hope it won't take too long to populate it with lots of useful code. All we need now is a release date for the SDK alpha

Good timing with the updates, the bull run is on the verge of pumping so people will be looking to invest in something good. QTUM is highly advanced and has the potential to compete with ethereum, cardano, EOS, Tezos, so it should rise in value

Scams will always be there if people keep falling into their traps. With the increase in EIOs the number of scams will fall as investors switch to ones that are verified by exchanges and will actually list their coins. This is better than ICOs which may of may not get listed

I too can feel the end is near for bounty campaigns. They are becoming increasingly worthless and many don't even pay out. The ones that pay are worth a few dollars so it really isn't worth the time anymore - better of day trading instead

It is not the right time for exchanges to start, there isn't enough trading volume for them to make a profit. It would be better for them to raise funds privately and to create something that binance doesn't offer - e.g. a simple exchanges for n00bies

For short term gains you need to find a coin with a high trading volume otherwise there won't be enough trades from which to make gains from. For long term look at the lower end of CMC for high risk high gain coins which can go 10x very quickly

A good indicator is how far it has fallen from it's all time high. It shows that there is a lot of room for growth when the real bull market returns. QTUM has fallen a long way so it's a good investment now in terms of potential growth

The signs of life have appeared so it could be the last chance to accumulate cheap crypto before the bulls come rushing in. Anyone who is smart and knows anything about crypto will be investing now with everything he's got

It's a bit confusing when there are two different tokens for one exchange. Binance only has BNB so it's hard to understand why a small exchange with low volume would need two different tokens ESH and SDEX.

This new Unita looks impressive but the question is what the outreach program is like at Qtum because it will only be good if people are using it. Hopefully we will see some news of business partnerships following this amazing announcement. 10k TPS is a great achievement, much better than ethereum

How is THEKEY doing outside of China? it is going to be huge there but there needs to be a global presence for it to reach it's potential. Hopefully they will have an international office with marketing and an outreach program

So after 3 years of development it is at the pre-alpha stage Well, better than nothing I suppose. So how long at pre-alpha before the alpha is released? Then how long at alpha before the beta is released? Then the RC? Then the RC v2 ... ...
