No, that is not the point. You may believe in a project but sell your token when it is mooning in the market or when you feel it is favourable to you.
That means you are a passionate investor, not a hodler. I disagree with the OP—a hodler is a hodler. Whoever sells their beloved coins during a positive market to earn profits and/or accumulate more of the coins they 'love' is not the same as someone who holds their coins indefinitely whether the market is up or down. |

I am quite surprised that the price of Ethereum dipped under $200 (I thought that would be the bottommost considering Technical Analysis and all). Not sure whether this is its 'normal' value, or Ethereum is going through a heavy oversold market status. It surely will take much more time to recover now.

Unfortunately, cryptocurrency projects, exchanges, and investors take security lightly, even those that boast about Internet security and privacy (recent examples: Verge XVG, and Bitfi's crypto wallet). Generally, everything connected to the Internet could be hacked, cryptocurrencies networks are no exception. There is no solution, however, there are a lot of security measures that can be taken which lessens the chance of getting hacked.
P.S.: cyber security companies shouldn't put the word 'unhackable' any where in their description—it is like an open invitation for hackers to prove them wrong.

Unfortunately, as it is now, many cryptocurrencies cannot be stored together in the same wallet due to different blockchain networks used by these coins/tokens. For example, All ERC20 tokens are based on Ethereum network, so you can store and access them with wallet that supports ERC20 smart contracts like MyEtherWallet (MEW), or MetaMask. XRP is based on Ripple network, ADA is based on Ethereum, and Ontology is based on NEO.

Bitcoin Blender, the original mixing service provider, is available only through TOR. Here is the original thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=436467.0What everyone is trying to use and accuse of being scams are phishing sites made to steal newbies money. You can't find it on your normal browser/google search, you need torrent to access the real website. All those domains are phishing sites: bitblender.me bitblender.io bitblender.website bit-blender.com bitcoinblender.org bitcoin-blender.com |

No, it is not. Look at the end of that 'official' EDT token drop Google form, you will find an etherdelta(dot)website link, which is not only a phishing site that looks exactly the same as EtherDelta.com (the official exchange), but also was created newly on September 6th, 2018 according to WhoIs. Also EtherDelta's official twitter account didn't announce such 'giveaway,' So no way that is legit. Stay away!

I wouldn't say it completely doesn't affect bitcoin price. Rumors and news still push the price up and down. For example, the ETF proposal by VanEck and SolidX was news, and it drove bitcoin price up to $8,200 before the decision came to be postponed (still news), and bitcoin went on a downtrend. I believe that bad news (and FUD) impacts bitcoin price much more than good news (especially if it is not a bull market).

If your plan is a long–term investment (1–5 years), then yes, Ethereum will reach $1,400 again, just like Bitcoin reached and broke the $1,242 ATH it made in 2013 (took it almost three and a half years)—records are made to be broken. Ethereum is a really good cryptocurrency with a bright future. All you need right now is patience. Shorting now in this bear market and trying to recoup is going to take hell of a lot of time and effort on your end.

I made this comparison for you to understand why your 'quest' for getting paid in recognisable coins is pointless from a project's perspective (nothing fancy here as it was made quickly):  As you can see, paying in BTC, ETH, etc. is disadvantageous to companies/teams which run the bounties, and it mostly benefits bounty hunters. Self–issued tokens, however, provide bounties with a somehow functional promotion campaign for free, and their pros outweigh their cons (the opposite of BTC, ETH, etc. advantages are also tokens disadvantages, for bounty hunters). When I joined this forum, most 'bounties' were signature–campaign–focused and paid in BTC, but they found this approach costly and worthless. |

Three possible 'massive' pumps in the foreseeable future: the SEC approves Bitcoin's ETF on September 30th (more likely not going to happen); before the end of this year (early December, Christmas) and/or at the beginning of January 2019; Bitcoin halving in May 2020. (A pump like 2017 is not likely going to happen this year or the next, but that's my 2 cents.)

- if you know for sure you can x4 or x5 an investment, and you had the money, wouldn't you be investing right now?? Ok, so, WHY ARE WHALES NOT DOING IT??? reason ----> Because they think it will not happen. If you think heavy–money individuals are not in already, you are dead wrong. They know how to manipulate a small market like cryptocurrencies' to enter/exit as they see fit. - How much money are bulls making by holding? NOTHING, just lose and lose money at huge rates. All of you, hodlers, are losing money right now, and you know it. Early holders, not a chance, bag holders, maybe, however, if they are sure about what they invested in, they will get profits eventually (and will be rewarded for their waiting and patience). - How much money are bears making by pumping and dumping? according to a friend of mine that's an important trader, around 5% weekly. They pump the coin with their own money, and they sell once they get their 5%. That's pretty weak and dumb. Most Pump&Dump groups don't pump coins with their own money, they hype their members to buy while they are selling as they had already bought the coin they are pumping in small amounts over a period of day or two. The P&D groups I joined in the past were making 30% at the very least (sometimes even 100%+ per coin). - If the technology is the future, if crypto is so valuable, can you please tell me why investors don't give a fuck about it, and they just look for instant profit?? ----reason ----> because they know that the acceptance on crypto in normal life is very very very very very reduced, almost irrelevant. I think you need to learn what investor means. Investor: a person or an organization that puts money into financial schemes, property, etc. with the expectation of achieving a profit. They don't give a F*** to what they are investing in to as long as they make money. - How much money is ETH making by signing smart contracts?? we don't know, but if it were more than market cap, Vitalik would have said it because it would have pumped the value of the coin. So, the coin is less valued in real conditions than in the manipulated market. It´s like watching a BMW from outside and saying: hey! it looks great, BUT WHEN YOU LOOK INSIDE THERE IS NOTHING VALUABLE. I won't respond to this specifically because I don't have any source to prove or deny this. - ETH and most coins cannot sustain a big amount of operations per second. Just about 20 for ETH, 4-5 for BTC. Visa can do 1700. Come on, crypto is not even usefull to get the place of money. Now, try transferring millions of Dollars using VISA, PayPal, or any other payment processor without getting ripped off in fees. You are comparing centralised mature networks to a new emerging immature decentralised networks that are still not ready for wide adoption. |

I respect your point of view,but I just want to point out that a "drug" isn't necessarily negative.When you are sick,you take drugs to cure yourself and still most of cures have side effects too with different degrees.Everything has a price and having a sharp brain for like 12 hours straight is pretty convenient in some cases,I admit that some nootropics have severe side effects but some of them not if you take the good dosage,let's just take the example of coffee or caffeine it's also a drug and sometimes also referred as a nootropic but in little effect.A trader who want to make the most of profit during a promising day would easily opt out for these,the world where we are living is competitive as f**k and it's only the beginning,a student who want to get into a good university is ought to give the better of himself,same for a worker who want to reach a financial status to build a family and live worthily.
I was talking specifically about the types of 'Smart Drugs' you mentioned. Of course, there are good Nootropics with excellent results, not denying that. Unfortunately, the most popular ones are the worst with side–effects. Okay, those are drugs (let's not sugar coat them, please, they are even referred to as 'Smart Drugs'). So they still can damage your brain, destroy your health, ruin your life, and they are just as addictive as 'normal' drugs, if not worse, with terrible side–effects and few benefits. You don't really need that kind of 'brain boost' to trade cryptocurrencies (even if you are an anxious 24/7 trader who doesn't sleep), as it will make matters worse.
Is this just your opinion or was it backed-up by some scientific research? I recommend reading this piece: https://nootropicsexpert.com/smart-drugs-the-bad-and-the-ugly/ It extensively illustrates everything about Nootropics (or Smart Drugs), and the author seems to understand what he is talking about, unlike dozens of other media outlets that are clearly clueless (from what I have read so far). |

I wouldn't take bitcoin news from a site that explicitly pushes its agenda against everything that is bitcoin, to begin with. The situation is, someone clearly missed up calculating bitcoin price as USD to IRR ratio was averaging at around 42,520 before the sanctions make it plummet to north of 111,000+ (around x2.61 downward, maybe even more, officially speaking, not street prices). Bitcoin price in Iran is the same as everywhere else, ranging between $6,300–$6,500 (271,000,000+ Iranian Rial before the sanctions, 813,000,000+ after!). |

trading bitcoin is more fun then stocks and shares. smart people dont hold and risk waiting years for 100%. they prefer to day trade 1% which = 365% a year with less risk
I hope you are being sarcastic there. Day trading is probably the most stressful activity you could put your brain and health through. Day traders certainly don't make 1% a day with stop loss orders (which can fail) and fast fluctuations in the market. Holders can gain 10,000% over a course of 5 years while chilling out (don't know how that makes them less smart). |

Was the market easy to manipulate? Yes, it was. Refer to Bitcoin's 2013 bubble to know how easily the market could be manipulated back then (as it is mostly the case with small markets). pump and dumps were more common?
I can answer this with a big fat YES. When I first joined a cryptocurrencies exchange, spam rooms were full of Telegram pump&dump groups' invitations. Were people more into ICO's? the ICO image was better than it is today?
No, they weren't as it is the case now (or even in 2017). Bitcoin had the lion's share when it came to interest. And no, ICO image wasn't much better than it is now. I would like to add another thing: Scams and too good to be true projects were huge. HYIPs and Cloud Mining were much more popular than they are now. |

Since Iran is a Muslim country what is their stand on crypto and earning profits that way? Any type of investment is against the sharia law is it not?
Firstly, Iran is Shia Muslim country, so their Sharia is different than the one the majority of Sunnah Muslim countries pretend to impose. Secondly, Sharia is not against any type of investment, just the ones that have fixed interests included. Thirdly, Sharia's stance on crypto is the same as stocks; it is allowed as long as it is just simple trading (buy, hold, sell)—that means, no margin trading, no binary trading, no leverage trading, etc. Although a few scholars have already jumped the gun to ban it, most others are taking the 'wait for more information and clarity to decide' approach. |

You have posted this on the wrong board. Please, move it to Gambling Discussion board (the 'move topic' button is on the far bottom left of your thread). On topic, unless they stop changing even slightly, yes, they will have a future. |
