You should add a $10M prediction as well—it is a thing now as far as I know: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4920266.msg44295910#msg44295910
None of those you listed are credited or accurate 'predictors,' and these are just guesses I would take with a grain of salt.

I wish to know where people are getting those 'predictions' from. $10M*21M = $210 trillion market cap. So you are saying that Bitcoin alone will beat global stock markets (whose capitalisation is valued at $60–$80 trillion and predicted to grow to $100T by 2020) in only 5 years, and even if you predict based on bitcoin price at the previous halving, it would be $36K not $10M.

Unfortunately, most cryptocurrencies, especially bitcoin, news outlets (save coindesk and CCN) use CoinMarketCap's information and charts as a reference for prices in their daily "bitcoin/altcoins is up/down–bull/bear" articles. I admit, I often use CoinMarketCap to check prices as it has tools and markets lists that make navigating exchanges for trading opportunities easier. 

I am not sure about Linux (I use Windows as an OS for my mining rig), but I have read this guide, and it extensively illustrates what you should do step by step; I would recommend reading it first (then do some research to verify the information provided): https://blockonomi.com/linux-cryptocurrency-mining/ 

LOL, Vod...

As you are providing a service, you should move your topic to the 'Services' section in the 'Marketplace' board.
If a project's website is written in poor English, its team is probably not professionally serious about what they are doing. Typos exist on any website, for sure, but poor–written English is a red flag.  

Hah. The first time I got promo tokens in 2017, I didn't know why I got them (I thought someone had sent the tokens to me by mistake; it wasn't a thing back then, mind you). I have a couple of few tokens that are worth $77.34 at the time. I know it doesn't help with projects' recognition, but who would turn down free tokens (especially Ethereum and ERC20 based ones)?

Watching the market closely for 2 years and going by charts, I would say spring and summer are usually when the market goes down (low prices, low volumes, taxes, bad news, etc.), hence, great time to buy. The market almost always rise in volumes and prices before Christmas (December and January, to be particular).

I agree with what you said, however, I also don't think this will affect them in any way. I remember being contacted (in PM) by a newbie member back in 2017 who was willing to buy my–then Full Member account for 0.01BTC (I don't know why me in particular, as my account is insignificant on the forum, but I was actively participating in signature campaigns that paid well). They will always find a way to buy–sell accounts on here.

For the life of me, I can't fathom why people still trust phone authentication—since 2016, it has been proven to be vulnerable to social engineering hack practices (and not complex by any means). It is still the major authentication method on Asian exchanges (particularly Chinese) and it is not good. One should take all security measures when it comes to using money online (whatever that might be).

I couldn't find any slice piece of news to support that 22000 crore number—all I found was, Congress in India alleges that a major political party used cryptocurrencies (read: bitcoin) for their money laundering (Rs 5000 crore is the reported amount) and called it 'bitcoin scam.' I doubt this would affect the market as we see it now, however. Speculative bubble, regulations, bans, and bad news are the driving force for the market downtrend.

This is not a new puzzle by any means; it has been around for more than two months. And I do also agree that it might not be real—Cryptogreetings, the puzzle creator, moved the prize a couple of times, and also sold a 'greeting card' that he claimed would help finding the solution to that puzzle. Seems like a promotion for his site. Who knows? Might be legit, but I am not biting.

Firstly, your thread title is misleading—this is not a list of 'legit and worthwhile' bounties; it is shilling for your NERO bounty. Secondly, you are promoting a bounty that even the main announcement thread here doesn't. Thirdly, you copied the original announcement thread and pasted it on Altcoinstalks.com, very professional of you...

If you want to promote a bounty for NEROTOKEN, you should do so formally, and post a proper bounty announcement thread.

Good information, thanks for sharing. I would like to add that if a project is being endorsed by any kind of celebrity is most likely a scam. Stox was the only endorsed project that wasn't, however, every other project turned to be a scam or failed to reach its goals.

Off the top of my head, Centra (accused of fraud by the SEC), and Bitcoiin (was sent a cease-and-desist order) were both endorsed by 'celebrities' and turned to be scam. Others either failed to reach their goal (like Hubii), or had something fishy going on in their companies (LydianCoin, anyone?).

I suggest looking at this article: https://www.investinblockchain.com/exciting-stellar-projects/

If you want to contact a project manager/team, you can visit either the project's site or its announcement thread on Bitcointalk (if it is available)—you can add 'bitcointalk ANN' to the project name in Google Search to make finding it easier.

This is a quality piece; I like how you illustrate your method with an example as well as that last bold–sentence. However, in my experience, I found that cutting losses and recouping is usually harder than holding, and by the time you recover your losses, the market rebounds and you find out that you would have profited more if you had waited it out. Besides, trying to recoup puts a lot of pressure on you, and makes a feeling that always kicks in whenever you trade that it almost becomes like pathological gambling chasing behaviour.

That's not how bounty works. If Bounty managers did as you say, they will have to pay cash from their own pockets or their investors'. Why would they do that if it is possible to create a marketing campaign (rather spammy) paying them free money they just created (their tokens)?

Even before bounties became a thing like it is now, the tokens prices used to take a dip on its first day of listing on an exchange. Not defending bounty hunters, but investors who want a quick buck will influence the market much greater than bounty hunters, in my opinion.

Those 'many analysts' should have known by now that where bitcoin goes altcoins follow. If bitcoin doesn't stay long in the market, most (if not all) altcoins won't, too. Heck, look at the market right now, or even before December 2017. There is no coin that is 'financially secure investment.'

People are still mining because:

1. Without mining, there won't be any new 'issued' coins that use Proof-of-Work consensus such as Bitcoin;
2. It is still profitable. Large mining farms have already paid their worth during cryptocurrencies bubble. Now, miners who own those farms are only paying for maintenance and electricity (a few miners even produce their own electricity);
3. People who started mining recently and put a hefty initial investment, and want to break even;
4. Companies that are based on mining cryptocurrencies.

Although I have a high electricity price per KWH, I used to mine, but I stopped since the beginning of summer because when I turn that GPU on for 24 hours, I feel like I am in a furnace being cooked slowly.  

However, at the end of the Arabic article, it stated that, "The committee is working with relevant governmental authorities to limit/reduce ForEx and 'Virtual Digital Currencies' trading and investment marketing, and confronting them." This statement and the next (about encouraging people to report those who offer that kind of marketing) surely rub cryptocurrencies the wrong way.
