1  Other / Serious discussion / Re: One day we will produce so much clean free energy it will become a "problem". on: September 23, 2018, 08:56:31 PM
Think about it.

Tesla building resistance plants to burn some of all the electricity we get from the sun. And saving the world.

Could be a scenario.

Are you aware that you can stop producing solar energy just by covering the pannels or pointing then in a different direction?
2  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Black Mirror and the "Chinese new social credit system" on: September 23, 2018, 08:49:57 PM

Ok. This is happening. In China, actually. The Chinese government is about to implement a system called "Social Credit system", designed to be fully operating in the next 2020. As in the Black Mirror chapter, the design is focused on creating a system based on behaviour: the best you behave, the best options do you have in life. As a dystopic nightmare, the Chinese people are going to be their own "social police", by voting their fellow citizens and ranking up or down depending on their own criteria.
You can read more about that in here: https://www.businessinsider.com/china-social-credit-system-punishments-and-rewards-explained-2018-4


Ok, I am going to say something that may not buy me any "social credit" here in the thread he he. The social credit system already exists in every country. e.g.

- If you work for a company, you are pushed or encouraged to act in a certain way and that will influence severely your chances of promotion.

- If you are at school, you are much more likely to get good grades and more free time if you play by the rules.

- If you are a child you have a punish/reward system in almost every household to force the "right" behaviour.

- If you want to access a good University, they will consider volunteering and social participation as a big plus.

And there are many more examples, even in most western countries your chances of getting a job are severely undermined if you have criminal records.

However, as with most things related to regulations, the devil in the details. In this case the issue is what will be considered as "positive" and being China... I donīt think any of us is going to be surprised when the list becomes available.

And surely, as NadiaHel said this is the column that is the key of the whole thing



Which in essence requires the state to be able to monitor everything that all the citizens do in order to "properly score" the individuals.

holding will not get you nowhere. holding gives you an opportunity to earn high profit, and the demand that you are talking about will come when the project itself has a latest updates or plan that will make the price increase due to its demand.

Believe or not, holding is the only thing that is eventually going to get you somewhere. Trading is normally a scary activity only for pros, holding will give you the value if projectīs good for it.

Elon Musk, the maniac, the myth, the brick, the legend? Whatever you take him to be, you can't deny that he has an ill-famed presence within crypto. According to recent reports, he's now on the bandwagon of Ethereum, although he is suspicious that it could be a scam.

Read more: https://coinidol.com/elon-musk-believes-ethereum-is-scam-no-eth-giveaways/


I donīt think this news are news at all, but in any case, Elon know about engineering and about earning public grants, but not about crypto.
5  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: alternative that rivals the ETH on: September 02, 2018, 10:04:09 PM
what if there is a new coin alternative that rivals the ETH and many use it as in erc20

whether it can be popular even beat the current ETH

are we ready to accept it if there is a new platform

There are quite a few, NEO to mention one allows contracts, tokens and unique tokens on its very own ultra-fast chain and it is gaining in adoption every day.
6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do bounty hunters become ICO investors? on: September 02, 2018, 10:01:58 PM
Icos look for bounty hunters to promote their project through the power of social media.Sometimes, some of these hunters also double as ico investors. But it looks like bounty hunters understand ICOs project and are able to determine very good projects before they invest because of their experiences in different projects.

Of course a bounty hunter, like me, is also an investor, even if you donīt put money you are promoting and ico with your time and effort.
7  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: why so many peoples belived in pump 2018? on: September 02, 2018, 10:01:23 PM
so, guys!
why u r still belive in huge green streen or bullish market in 2018?!

for me - it s amazing mistake for all of who thinking so
look at the law, watch at the country titans of crypto - they all blocked openned cryptoway
why u are still thinking- "2018 will be pump year"??

It is quite clear that many people were expecting exceptional news and institutional investment in the crypto arena, but it has not yet come to fruition.
8  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is actually happening to the alt coin market ? on: August 31, 2018, 09:59:18 PM
Actually, I get Frustrated from Crypto market, most news is destroying this industry while it's represented as trend for some time, I think many companies will not survive this year.

It is unfortunate, but this is business as usual for crypto. It is in fact a good sign that everything is still working and trading happening even when allīs red.
9  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Many will regret that they do not invest in cryptocurrencies on: August 31, 2018, 09:58:03 PM
I agree, like last year, will soon go the rapid growth of the market, the old highs I think they will not achieve, but will grow strongly and in January will again hear stories when people picked up the coins at the bottom sold at a large profit.

Of course, as many of us regreted not investing in 2013, but thatīs life and some people are simply not ready to develop new areas for their money to work with them.
10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum has SWARM online, what now? on: August 31, 2018, 09:57:05 PM
Swarm is finally ready and online, so what do you think that  will be the next developments for Ethereum blockchain? 

Now... nothing. This was already taken into account by the market so there is no particular effect in prices. Long terms is possitive as the eth plan and roadmap are working.
11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Cryptocurrency began to be trusted. Poland introduced a new law on: August 31, 2018, 09:55:29 PM

I cant help but laugh at the news and the Fear of Uncertainty and Doubt(FUD) affecting several week hands in the community.
  

Poland is basically irrelevant. The volume of investment and the ICOs that are generated mean nothing to the community and to the alt market. No offence, but this = 0
12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which are the biggest Cryptocurrency ICO scams in 2018? on: August 31, 2018, 09:53:44 PM
There are lots of ICO doing scam. I would like to know the ICO scammers of 2018. According to research, the following are the various types of ICO scams that users should watch out for:

  • Malware scams
  • Fake exchanges
  • Pump and Dump scam
  • Fake Bitcoin scam
  • Earn Free Bitcoin Scam
  • Ponzi schemes


One of the worst has probably been the symmetry fund, but the thing is that even some ICOs that are not really scams do not deliver anything anyway.
13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Investing decision on: August 31, 2018, 09:52:39 PM
Is current time good for buy more coin?
Normally, I will buy more when the price of coin is dropped. But with this situation of the market, I doubt the effectiveness of buying decision. Please give me an advise!

Now it is more advisable to avoid going into another purchases, the situation is not really clear as it was during last year, and the money is wainting for real news.
14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Hire an ICO White Paper Writer and Kick off your Project on: August 28, 2018, 08:10:33 PM
Hire an ICO White Paper Writer and Kick off your Project
A White Paper is at the heart of any Blockchain project. You can raise millions of dollars through an ICO just on the strength of your White Paper.

i  have written tens of ICO White Papers for innovative Blockchain projects. I closely monitor the fast-changing industry and regulatory environments across the world and incorporate necessary details in the White Paper to ensure the success of your ICO launch.

I have also invested in several cryptocurrency projects through token generation events (also called Initial Coin Offerings or “ICO”) by analyzing their White Paper and business model. Thus, we have a deep understanding of the nuances of Token Launch and impact of quality of White Paper on the success of an ICO. Hire a white paper writer now and take the first step towards launching your next revolutionary project.

Contact me through
Telegram Username: @cryptowilie
Skype: @ngariwilson30
Email: icoservices07@gmail.com or wilson@coinweez.com

If a team is not able to author their own white paper, they should not even try to ICO. It is just ridiculous to ask for a "professional" to write a document that should have no more than 20 pages.
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: GHOST MONTH!!!! on: August 28, 2018, 08:09:02 PM
Funny fact. What is happening now with the market and the fact that August is a month's ghost .. makes you think. I do not think that it is somehow connected, but it's very funny.

Oh, of course nobody expects any real movement, the new stop and the ETFs have been rejected, so we have to endure now a little of nothing happens before something happens.
16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: A huge project in sight on: August 28, 2018, 08:07:42 PM
That's exciting! I think there will be more to come in the future. More blockchains, more cryptocurrencies to come out in the next few years more. The society is already slowly accepting the concept and as technology evolves, so will the crypto industry.

Surely the future is full of excitement, now we have however to concentrate in getting the best of this bear market and the ups and downs until we moon it.
17  Economy / Economics / Re: Are fiat currencies necessary in the world? on: August 28, 2018, 08:05:10 PM
Fiat currencies definitely aren't necessary, there is an increasing trend towards digitization of currency, and blockchain based currencies are just the next generation of this. The problem is that Bitcoin came out, and everybody treated it as the successor to fiat currency, rather than an incremental improvement on digital currencies such as Paypal and Skrill. I think that if Bitcoin was never invented, but somebody like Paypal had implemented a blockchain technology first, then we wouldn't be in the rivalry scenario that we're in now.

There is no need of fiat, unless you decide to live in the real world and have to pay a few bills to those old anticuated companies that insist in getting paid in dollars.
18  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Using Huobi OTC in My Crypto Investment Journey on: August 28, 2018, 08:03:44 PM
Houbi is just another exchange, the interface and tools are not particularly useful and the safety is as good as any other centralised.They donīt have lots of tokens either.
19  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The survival of cryptocurrency on: August 28, 2018, 08:02:30 PM
Cryptocurrency has witness a nose dive since the beginning of this year with still no respite in sight with investors recording outrageous loses.   As we move enter the last quarter of the year I honestly think what will lift cryptocurrency price up is not more funds ,token sale or speculators.Rather it will be entrepreneurs delivering on their projects with real technology and addicted users. Your thoughts folks

Cryptoīs survival does not really depend on investors making more or less profit, it is a new market and new investors come and go everyday with varied luck.
20  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How Crypto Market will Recover on: August 16, 2018, 01:26:19 PM
I think 80% of ICOs will not release their product in 2018-2019 because they are scams and 20% will release the product but nobody will use it. So many alts will die in 2018-2019.

But our crypto market will recover after new big money of instituonal investors will come to crypto after ETF on Bitcoin approval in the end of 2018 or early 2019. ICOs will be regulated by SEC and after that new ICOs will release real decentralized product for crowd that will be successfully used.

THat is true, and absolutely normal. Most icos are trying to disrrupt a sector and that is not easy task. Those which succeed will have plenty of lessons for the next generation.
