I am looking into this project actually and am impressed with the communication so far. I also like the colors you have on the website, they are really striking and professional and the whole attitude is also very professional, so kudos to the Team. This is the kind of project that gives me faith in blockchain tech and makes me want to invest in it despite all the pitfalls I have gone through in the past. I will be checking up later more on the roadmap and the whitepaper in detail before I invest, I like to always do my due diligence. Nice of you also to introduce your Team members here on BTCTALK forum, we appreciate that.

As you all know the huge whales and cartels are the ones running the show. Make no mistake about it, some early adopters and corporations and millionaires have made huge bank getting into Bitcoin early so they made a killing and because the market is relatively small in size compared with other financial markets, they can do whatever they want to control and suppress the price so they can weed out all the little fish trying hard to get rich off of this. These Entities feed off their panic selling prey like vultures and because most of the people in the market follow the herd and are retarded at times, that's how they capitulate us.

Now I want to survive this very prolonged bear run and try my best to accumulate what I can so I can have a pension in five years and then am also able to help members of my family, primarily my Son of course. I don't have any savings now and only have a little crypto, so want to make sure that I have my head above water and can get a saving bag together. If by any chance, the cryptos I own moon enough to buy a house, I will buy a house or apartment to rent out and get rental income which will be passive income for me for life. I will continue in crypto as long as my mind and body are able to work.

Yeap Bidium was a really nasty one and I don't get why we can't get rid of these scams. I think the one in my signature KONIS is good because it is not one of those over-hyped projects and it is based in Switzerland where they are very pro crypto friendly. They also have reached their hard cap and don't need to reach the full amount to go ahead with their platform which they have already progressed with quite far already. I also check projects that usually have huge communities and very active Admins with good LinkedIn profiles, so you can check out the Team as well and who are active in AMAS plus going around blockchain conferences and showing their faces a lot. Another good project is INGOT COIN, that's going tob e huge!

No, the world is nowhere near ready yet. We need to put both the regulations in place and also the infrastructure in place all around the world for there to be mass adoption. Now you only have some Pioneers and a bunch of speculators and gamblers involved in this industry and pump n dump groups. We need the right frameworks to come in so that the huge institutional money can come in first and invest in this space and the right regulations to protect investors and consumers. When you got ICO scams like Bidium walking off with three million dollars worth of investor's money and they can get away with it, the world ain't ready yet.

Moneytoken is a wonderful project but unfortunately, as usual, the bounty hunters and early discounted investors wrecked the price and crashed it now that it has opened on five exchanges. I expected better from the Moneytoken community but they have shown themselves to be another lot of panic sellers and selfish short-sighted people who don't care about anyone else than themselves. All those peeps saying they will hold it to one dollar and 50 cents and so on were all lying, you see none of them in the Moneytoken telegram group because they have all dumped and left. I hope they regret it once this has a hard pump, which at some point will happen.

Now is the time to accumulate like mad before we get another Bull run. I nearly capitulated purely due to financial reasons and having no job, but I decided to start day trading as my job and now am very slowly but surely recovering a few my lost funds. If I can make 10% a week from trading it means that I can not only survive but also can make some extra money to buy more tokens that are really cheap. Now is the worst possible time to sell your coins and tokens and you will regret it for the rest of your life. Day trade, buy and sell and also accumulate for long term so when Bull run actually comes knocking on our door, we are ready with loaded bags.  

I don't think we are in an uptrend at all right now. Still, the Bears are trying to squeeze the hell out of every coin and token on CMC and they will do so until all the little people are out of this business. They don't want small people making money and they will do all it takes to make everyone panic sell their tokens and coins for cheap. Just like I saw what happened to MONEYTOKEN today when it debuted on the exchanges for far less than ICO prices because all the bounty cheapskates dumped it like hell as usual. I think we have a long way to go before any sign of a bull market is coming our way.

You do have some valid points here and I do respect everyone's point of view, even if it is different from mine but the fact remains we often in our community make too many rash and bad decisions and panic selling is not the way to go. We are doing ourselves and everyone else a disservice and either we need to learn to be better traders to help preserve better entry and exit points or we are not mature enough for this Industry. It's also the Bounty cheaters, they all need to be hunted down and blacklisted. These nasty elements need to be done away with as soon as possible. Instead of spending time cheating, they could put their heads down and create their own content to get paid.

It's such a shame that although Bounty Hunters do provide value as a community we are really beginning to get a bad name in this Industry. Primarily for two reasons.

1. We dump the tokens we get as soon as they get listed on exchanges. For example, MONEYTOKEN LAUNCHED today on exchanges and it was dumped hardcore, of course,  who else other than BOUNTY HUNTERS AND AIRDROP PEEPS. My Hubby also made two videos but he said no way in hell is he literally giving away the coin way below ICO price. We live in Europe as well, so we don't have the cheap living costs many bounty hunters enjoy who live in Asia and Africa. I know we all have to survive, but we are looking more like beggars now in the crypto community with no self-worth. Maybe alot of bounty hunters don't value their time or themselves but come on, way below ICO price you go and dump the tokens, have people no sense?

2. 2nd point is the rampant stealing and cheating. EVERY DAY we are finding idiots trying to claim bounty stakes by impersonating us and stealing our videos or blog reviews. No wonder now so many ICOS are requesting us to do KYC, we are not to be even trusted to do a decent job.

I really think the bounty industry as to be cleaned up and I would prefer it if bounty tokens were like locked up for a few months before we could all mass dump for so cheap and then Investors getting so angry and pissed off at us. I know everyone in crypto is selfish and for himself only but come on being too selfish is actually shooting yourselves and all of us in the foot. We will never get lambos and moons at this rate lol.

One thing for sure is I have learned alot from my mistakes during these months and last couple of years in Crypto. They have been extremely costly mistakes but it is what it is and that is a learning curve for sure. The only thing I need to learn now is to detect ICO scams, I did a signature campaign for over three months on Bidium and it turned out to be a scam. Too many of those revshare people who opened scams have started doing ICOS as well and running scammy projects and polluted this area as well. One thing I learned that most of the crypto space is riddled with scammers. SCAMMMY Developers, SCAMMY ICOS, SCAMMY BOUNTY HUNTERS using my name and materials to earn money. You need your wits about you in this space, it's full of hackers and spammers trying to steal everything you have, but I am still here hoping I can make a life for myself in crypto because I believe in the tech.  

I am poor compared to my compatriots and don't have to pay tax under 19.5k EUROS in income and here also if you earn from securities, trading, shares etc it is all tax-free the profits. Even if you do open a company here minus your wages and social insurance, the net profit you get for example you only pay 10% corporation tax on that. CYPRUS is a haven for tax and is a very good place to live if you are doing crypto. I think here we have it much better than say in the U.S or China as far as tax and regulations on crypto earnings are concerned. So one day if I actually get the income going here, I might be even luckier still. Let's see where this bear market will take us.

I am not so sure, to be honest. Yes, we do know that the market has cycles, but do we know if it will follow the exact same trajectory as last year? This year was a complete bear run and we have seen the rise in prices of 2017 totally wiped out this year and most altcoins have all gone back to their lows of 2016/2017. Even with the so-called little pumps we have, ETH itself has gone from 1.5k USD to under 300 bucks a pop, so that in itself tells you we are still at a low point. I hope things change next year and we see at least one good bull run at least to the previous ALL-TIME HIGHS, if not a little better.

They are pretty good coins and have great platforms as well. I am also banking on PUNDI X as well as a big mover in the future and many of these coins and tokens that have matured and have a working product will skyrocket I think in the next bull run. I feel now also the market is becoming very bullish so it is time to accumulate whatever we can of all the good coins we can before they start exploding and we miss the train. Take every moment of the day studying all the best projects and coins and just collect whatever you can afford right now. This is our main chance. I am struggling but trying to work harder to earn enough to buy more coins.

We will still need banking but it will evolve to include the cryptocurrency economy and blockchain tech. I see how many new projects cropping up that are merging traditional banking with crypto and banks are now getting on the blockchain bandwagon as well. More and more things will change in this sector but yeah traditional banking as we have known it to be the last 100 years or so is about to get a makeover and it will become more and more inclusive of people who never before had access to traditional banking or financial products and services. Now banking will be done with just a mobile phone and an internet connection.

Why is everyone posting proof of authentication posts when it clearly says DO NOT POST. Come on guys be a bit more mindful lol and READ.

Put that ETH to good use while you wait for the price to rise. You can earn good percentages trading tokens in ETH. Do the solid projects like PUNDI X for example, if you trade that in ETH, you can make profits and average down your cost as well. I trade ETH and BTC but mainly for my daily bread and also to accumulate more in Pundi x and some good coins that have at least a chance to run x 20 in the bull run or even more as they are way undervalued right now. I wish you luck and hope you make profits in 2018, despite this bear market phase that has been really very long on our backs.

I now have a new strategy because Hodling in 2018 made me lose 99.4% of my portfolio value, so as I hit rock bottom two weeks ago it dawned on me that I needed to start day trading. So I took half my bag and placed it into what I call day trading mode, while the other half is sitting and quietly accumulating. Now I can say I am growing my main hodl bag back slowly, taking out a weekly wage to survive and trading up my trading bag. I need to point out here that if you don't have a day job just hodling is not enough. Having said that, now that we are at rock bottom, it's the best time to accumulate in whatever way you can your favorite coins and tokens before the next bull run. Follow two basic rules, don't fomo buy in and don't panic sell.

There are a ton of peeps making money right now in a bear market and that's those shorters with the futures contracts and on Bitfiniex who trade with leverage. All those whales have to do is short the market constantly after they drive BTC up 5/7% and they make a hefty killing on every trade. Also, there are punp and dump groups that artificially manipulate the prices of Bitcoin and altcoins and if you are early in the pump all well and good, but if you FOMO in you are going to be stuck way until the next pumper comes along. I am trying to trade now as a day trader and despite the shitting market have managed to trade my wages two weeks in a row, so far so good.

The US dollar is built on debt and debt culture. Unfortunately, this doesn't look likely to end and the biggest PONZI is Fiat money. It's funny how the SEC goes around trying to shut down businesses it deems are ponzis and scams, yet their money, especially the US dollar, since it got unpegged from the Gold Standard, has been the biggest ponzi since the Amsterdam Tulips back in the day lol. I think digital money will replace fiat in years to come. Bitcoin, as is limited in supply and with the lightning network, is going to replace Fiat money in many places I think. I don't know when this will happen but maybe in ten years or so we can see it replace some currencies.
