921  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New projects are responsible for the death of their tokens on: October 17, 2019, 06:47:32 AM
In this kind of bad altcoin market i am still surprised that some new projects are giving out 50% price tag for their tokens, this is a project killer if you ask me, this move is only good if altcoin season is out and surging, 50percent is way too much in this kind of market we are in presently,  tell me i'm wrong
This is one of the criteria that I am already using to filter some of the projects that I get to participate in, most of these projects with huge rewards are just scam projects, they only use that to entice the investors to bring their money, because in this era where we have lots of investors that are only seeing the project not for what they stand for , but for the profit that they get to gain from them.

These developers should know already that 50 percent reward are some of the rewards that will crash the market and I think they don’t care, because this is one of the easiest ways to exit the market. If a project fails as a result of dumping, everyone would just blame it on dumping without knowing that it is actually a tactic from the developer to exit the market finally.

Here are few thoughts about improving and to speed up your hiring process:
1. Include your stand for escrow (at least for initial short period). This will make people feel risk-free.
2. Preferred skill set. Now a days, for example, voice process requires MS-Excel kind of basic things.
3. Approximate duration of this job's life time. Longer it will last, more it will be attractive.
923  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin's future prospects on: October 14, 2019, 08:30:30 AM
I am not sure that bitcoin will ever collapse, because it is now that it is just taking the real shape, and I am not surprised as to how bitcoin is actually operating now, because to me, that is how it ought to be. Bitcoin value is not supposed to climb up with speed as it did in 2017, and that speed was just typically a manipulation which has made people get use to the mentality that bitcoin is a money dubbler.

As adoption rate grows, so as bitcoin is meant to grow gradually and getting adoption is not just a stone throw, it will take years, so it is not that we are gradually having the real adoption, all these drop in price are probably some of these whales leaving the market, and it is better they leave the market so that we can have a stable and steady growth of bitcoin even if it is slow.
924  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why not use Exchange instead of Mixer? on: October 14, 2019, 07:20:51 AM
You might be able to do anonymous transfer within the exchange like you rightly said, but that is only not visible to the public, it is still very visible to the exchange itself, so the government can still get details of a transaction from an exchange if they force them to do so through court, but with cheap mixer, even the exchange itself will not be able to trace the transaction, like the way binance was not able to trace the transaction when the hacker stole that huge amount of money from their client’s wallet.

You can see that they tried everything possible but to no avail, which they later found out that the hacker used cheap mixer to actually take out the fund through their exchange. So I don’t think using exchange directly will be able to provide the full anonymity as you think.
925  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: John McAfee To Launch New Decentralized Exchange – McAfeeDex on: October 13, 2019, 04:31:21 PM
What does he really expect to come out of it when everyone already knows him for the kind of liar he is, and all those hype then was just because of this establishment, and if he has been manipulating people which people know, what assurance does he have that those things had not registered on many crypto users’ brain which will make them never to trust his dex, and I really doubt if Mcaffee would really come up with a full Decentralized exchange. 

Besides that anyway I really don’t think that his dex will function well because he would have a very low turnover, for now, I think that the hype of binance is still very much more than that of McAfee, and binance had opened its dex long time which till date, not many people have successfully been using it which is more like a failed project to me, so better he does not waste time on that.
926  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are ICOs really DEAD or simply cleared a path for better projects? on: October 13, 2019, 03:12:28 PM
It us every surprising to me also that with the negative talks that has been around on ICO and developers, there are still lots of projects that are being released on daily basis. I just read a post from another op not quite long where he made claim that most ICO don’t even generate more than $100 again and I wonder if he really knows what is going on.

Projects here are still generating lots of money, and especially most of the ones that runs through the IEO platform, even the shitty projects when they are established still raise close to $500k, so the ICO market is still booming, although many of them don't really meet up again, but I know that before it gets to the level predicted that ICO market will die, we would have had lots of regulation that will get some of the bad projects that are spoiling the ICO off the market.
927  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: the Ton, one of the biggest project ! on: October 13, 2019, 09:12:01 AM
I honestly believe in the future of telegram project more than Libra coin, the good thing that telegram did was to come down to the level of everyone, by starting the way that all other projects started and believe me, if they gradually grow their project, the sky will be their limit and that is why people are very much anticipated to see the telegram coin release unlike Libra coin that was meat with hatreds when it has not yet released because they came like they were coming to displace bitcoin off its position with their centralized system that I do not trust.

I am eagerly waiting for this project to be released to the public which I believe strongly will be the best of coins when it is eventually released and now that they will have relationship with Ethereum, this might be another boost for Ethereum.
928  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What will happen to alts if Bitcoin crashes back to $5000? on: October 13, 2019, 08:17:36 AM
The bulls never announce when they will enter the market, let the bears keep having fun, it is their time now, and with this fun they are having, they are only giving us the chance to keep accumulating more coin's of those projects that are recognized as tops in the market, when the bull is ready to enter the market, it would come without announcing.

We can see sample of such case in April this year when the price of bitcoin suddenly started rising unexpectedly and nobody really knows exactly where it came from or how it happened, but the bull eventually succeeded in pushing the price up from where it was during that time till what it is now and I think at this level of bitcoin, the price is still fair. Barriers will definitely be broken In near future which I believe maybe very soon.
929  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: short term or long term investing on: October 13, 2019, 06:04:03 AM
I would not go with one option when I know that I can have both, both comes with different benefits and rewards at various times, there are time that short term investment would pay and there are times it would not pay, so sometimes when one does not really benefit, at least one can substitute for the other, although all still depends on the capital that the investors has to use.

For people who feel that they don’t have all the money to actually pour into the market, I think that short term investment would actually be the best, but for short term investment, they have to still apply normal strategies like the way they trade, unlike long term trading where you could just leave your investment for a very long time without much anticipation since it is tied to a very long time.
930  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Does scalping is the best way to earn when trading on a bearish market? on: October 12, 2019, 07:27:28 PM
I just want to ask you guys if Scalping is a good move when trading on a bearish market. Because for me this is the best way to earn a profit when the market is bearish.  But still, I choose the right coin and the perfect exchanger for scalping.
Scalping is good, with this method you're just taking the little opportunities in the market to make some earnings. Scalpers always make sure that they don't hold a position for a long time and they also make sure to close a day's position and not carry it over to the next day. For me it is the best method to use during the bear market, So there is no need to ask if it's the best, though I know that there are people who makes use of a different trade strategy, but if you try to make use of a strategy you don't understand, you will just end up with loss. It would be best for you to keep making use of the scalping strategy if that is what you understand better.

Well, it’s up to you really. Scalping is helpful provided you know how to use it. Sometimes it may cause a financial damage.
It's not even everyone that can make use of this strategy because some people don't even know how to read the chart. Short term strategies should only be for those that have learnt everything about it. A noon will find it difficult to do. Long term strategy is the best for those that have no experience.
931  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What will happen to alts if Bitcoin crashes back to $5000? on: October 12, 2019, 06:57:39 PM
If that should happened, it will be so disastrous and it will affect all other altcoin, whereby making many altcoin to disappear and  lose it's value and potential totally. If bitcoin should crash it won't exceed below $8k which will not happen
Lol, I think it will get to a point where altcoins will drop to and will never go lower than that again, just like we have some altcoins presently, even when bitcoin is down, they are at the deepest bottomed, so till altcoin bull run starts before they can start picking again.

If bitcoin drops so low to that $5000, it may affect some altcoins, but it will be temporary because the value will cause fomo as many people who had been looking for opportunity to buy cheaper will start rushing it at that price, which will definitely make the market to spike beyond the previous price, and that will still have positive effect on altcoins too because as bitcoin increases, altcoins will also increase along with bitcoin too, so the crash may still be of favor to so many altcoins.
932  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BBC Air Documentary on Notorious ‘Crypto Queen’ Scammer on: October 12, 2019, 03:39:17 PM
Nothing gets the clicks or views more than a good story of fear, uncertainty and doubt. The BBC, which has largely steered clear of reporting on crypto, has aired a documentary on the notorious ‘Crypto Queen’ who made a fortune on a scam ICO.

https://bitcoinist.com/bbc-air-documentary-on-notorious-crypto-queen-scammer/
This might also be a sponsored news don’t be surprised by the government that would not want cryptocurrency to actually thrive. Why is it that bbc has never carried anything positive ever since cryptocurrency has been having positive impact in the life of people over the world and even around them, but I guess they will do anything for money, even if it requires that they deny the truth.

Cryptocurrency is not the only means by which scam happens, scam occurs on different ways at large even in fiat also which I think that the largest scam is even the ones that occurs in fiat. So, I think this news should just be ignored because this is a way to just create unnecessary fear and doubt to the world out there about cryptocurrency, and which I think that we all need to also start bombarding the news spaces with lots of positive things about cryptocurrency.
933  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin's price on: October 12, 2019, 05:54:59 AM
in my opinion, bitcoin will grow faster and stronger around 2020-2021 because in that range bitcoin will be approaching halving. So that the miners will  decrease in reward, it will affect the price of bitcoin because the cost to mine bitcoin will be even greater. I am sure this will affect the price of bitcoin up at least 5x from the current price.
This is just a temporary factor, I mean the halving of Bitcoin, I totally agree with you that it will have some effects on bitcoin, but It will be a short term effect and this is not what I am really after in the cryptocurrency market, we need a factor that will make Bitcoin value to continue to grow even if it is low so that it can get to that stage where it can be reliable as store of Value, people still prefer to hold gold as store of value because of the volatility of Bitcoin.

Moreover, bitcoin is meant to digitalize everything, both currency and also means of store of value, halving will only make the price pump a little which will be eventually dump, but need people to use it as currency which is the main thing that will make the value of Bitcoin to become less volatile.
934  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price today returned to $ 7,800 on: October 12, 2019, 04:23:06 AM
I think this really shows that the Chinese are very strong cryptocurrency users, I heard of this their holiday too because I do import from china and I think their holiday went for almost 1 week. Let us see what will really happen again now that they are back from holiday and I think that many people can now see that the population of Chinese people in the bitcoin community can really not be over looked and we really need this country’s support for bitcoin to really continue to make it.

I have been wondering what effect of holiday could be on bitcoin price, and now, I can see that we should not really be relying on some of these great holidays that has celebrations in them, which means Christmas could be actually worst for the crypto market as people may be removing funds for celebration.
935  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: South Korea precedent ruling allows cryptoexchanges to be sued due to lost funds on: October 11, 2019, 06:51:15 PM
Finally we see some improvements when it comes down to exchanges, I can't remember the last time I saw an exchange refund or help the victims of an hack, except maybe the Binance hot wallet hack a couple of months ago.

I hope governments around the world start looking at rules when it comes to exchanges more, and actually  punish exchanges that get hacked, so the people don't lose their money, the exchange does.
Most strong exchanges that I have seen been hacked either close down like cryptopia which till date, they have not refund one single cent to their users, or such exchange would just ignore, it is only binance that I have seen make full refund of the funds back to their users after they were hacked of $41 million dollars the last time, and I think that this is the reason why binance will always be the number trusted exchange with their safu fund.

There is no exchange that is actually safe from attack, because these hacker too are well trained to know the weakness of every exchanges which they really cannot do without when it comes to application development, but at least they should always have safu fund like binance, but now that government has given power for them to be sued, I am sure they will always consider safu funds now.
936  Economy / Speculation / Re: I wan't to believe on: October 11, 2019, 06:20:47 PM
The issue with predictions such as this is that the further you go to the future the less reliable the prediction becomes, besides such predictions are useless, if someone could predict with a high degree of accuracy what the market was going to do during the next hour I can guarantee you that person will become very quickly one of the richest person in the world, but no one can do that, and if no one can predict what the market will do in just an hour what makes you think someone can predict what the market will do months or years later?
Mate, it is easier to predict what will happen to a coin in future than to even predict what will happen to them in an hour, speculating coins hourly will involve the use of technical analysis, but for long term, you could easily watch out for fundamentals that would point you to the direction of bitcoin in future.
 
Prediction cannot be accurate actually because we have so many people that are very silly in predicting and they just talk without fact, but we really have some people that will study the market thoroughly to really know what the future hold for a particular coin. If price prediction where not working, there is even no way that people would be trading and making money and not everyone you see in trading does a guessing work.
937  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Popular coins on Forum, 2019 - SEPTEMBER on: October 11, 2019, 05:25:51 PM
i want to know,
what is your favorite token/coin and why? (maby ICO - IEO to)
If I was still into investment, I think that the most popular coin that I have heard of this year is still Harmony of binance IEO and chain link, I think these projects really made wave, and when I read their whitepaper, and I saw that their team is good, I wanted to make investment in them, but because of the lack of extra cash that I don’t have, I could not make much investment in them again.

This year, I have concentrated more on bitcoin and I have been investing in every dip that we see on bitcoin this year till I got exhausted of my investment money, but if we really are to talk of the very popular coins that I have seen this year, I think that harmony  and chain-link still leads and will advise anyone to make investment in them if they want.
938  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why not advance as a bounty hunter? on: October 11, 2019, 03:21:03 PM
Bounty hunters this days looking for free money, and most of bounty hunters provide low quality of work, and did not help the project to success, that is why i think bounty not as before and profit not as before.
How do you mean by them providing low quality of work? Majority of the hunters that you see participate more in Facebook and twitter campaign, aside the few ones that just go into signature campaign, and when it comes to working on twitter and Facebook, most hunters are just simply to share what the project developer or management team have on their page so that it can reach the world out there, and this does not have anything to do with appraisal again as it is a simple task.

Except maybe you are talking of those that are into signature campaign that is mandated to write some topics on behalf of the project on a particular period of time. The only thing I just have to say on that is that hunters are no longer respected, so they just have to look beyond just hunting alone, but much more opportunities.
939  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Hold on: October 10, 2019, 05:12:30 PM
Hello, I´m 13 and I´m very interested in Bitcoin, because of this I buy BTC. Actually, I've been studying BTC for over a year to invest. Back to the subject, I buy BTC for 9.200 dollars, and I would like to know if you think it´s a good ideia hold btc until it reaches 20.000. Anyway, for now i´m going to wait btc until it reaches in 20.000 for me to sell. What do you think about my opinion? Wink

You should be wary little of Internet technology, for example, there are several sites that use fraud
Yes,for you; the only way to make a profit is to hold your bitcoin in a safe place for long term and avoid transferring money between sites without reason
I think he would even have no choice right now than to keep accumulating his coin because of his age and exchanging the coin on exchanges, I am not sure of this, but I think i read someone where they say people of his age may not be allowed to transact on any of these exchanges except he transfer the coin to someone’s wallet which is quite risky to do.

He might eventually watch the price of bitcoin grow to $50000 in future which I am sure that before he is even up to age, bitcoin might have even grown to $100k or $150k. Lucky him to have accumulated this coin at that stage right now, it is a good decision that he has made and I hope that like you rightly advise him, he is able to keep his coin in a safe place for future purpose.
940  Economy / Economics / Re: Bank Crisis Hits India, Many Accounts Wiped Out, People Left With Nothing on: October 10, 2019, 03:57:38 PM
This is good for them, I think they left things that they are meant to have tackled to avoid this, and was busy going against cryptocurrency which if they had adopted, I am sure would not have given rise to such thing, and at least, it would have saved 50 percent of lost fund. Right now, my money is divided into 50:50, one is saved in fiat in the bank and one is in my cryptocurrency wallet, both bitcoin and usdt.

Imagine that I was an Indian citizen, and among those that lost bank money, would I not have been able with something now through my cryptocurrency wallet, which there is even tendency that I could get the lost one back after bitcoin pumps to the last all-time high, but I wonder how they really reason, and they just want to keep the whole system to themselves when they know that they really cannot protect it.
