1  Other / Meta / Re: MOST JUNIOR MEMBERS LOWERED TO NEWBIES Now....WHY? on: September 18, 2018, 01:19:12 AM
I checked my profile this morning and realised that my account has been lowered from Junior Member to Newbie. I contacted a friend who virtually joined this platform around the same time as I did( about three months ago). He also confirmed that he did not received any stakes for the bounty campaign he did last week and that his signature has been removed from the profile link. What have we done wrong? Why this Punishment?


Due to excessive garbage-posting, you now need 1 merit to be a Jr Member. All existing Jr Members who didn't meet the requirement were demoted. Also, newbies can no longer set any signature or personal text.

Note that this does not affect:
 - PM rate-limiting, which is based purely on activity & whitelisted status.
 - "You must wait ___ seconds...", which is based purely on activity & whitelisted status.
 
But it does affect:
 - Voting in polls
 - Patroller jurisdiction
 - The "ignore newbie PMs" option.
 - "The body is omitted from this email because the sender is a newbie."
 - BBCode limits
 - Reduced-accuracy link filtering
 - Board restrictions

Many of these limitations can be eliminated with a copper membership. In particular, you can set a signature at Member level if you wear a copper membership.

One reason that I was hesitant to do this before is that there are an awful lot of newbie restrictions, and I don't want the forum to be unwelcoming to good newbies. I'll think about tying some of those to activity instead of rank in the future.
 
With help from DdmrDdmr, I just added 36 new merit sources, which should help newbies achieve the requirement. But if you're incapable of posting anything worthwhile, then you will never rank up, and you shouldn't: this isn't the forum for you.

Hello my friend! I think it is better to read before asking questions like this.

Because posting like this is the reason why all jr members demoted to a newbie rank. Due to the over population of jr members spamming here in this forum 1 merit is needed to rank up from newbie to jr member.


New rules are good to stop making none sense and common question post.
2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Token goes down. Wait or sell? on: September 12, 2018, 11:48:48 AM
Hello everyone!

We all know that the situation with market is not that good as we want it to be. Thus it affects a lot of ICO projects. On the one hand people don't invest in coin so much money as they did last year. On the other bounty hunters sell tokens fast and the price goes very low. That is why some projects prefer list their token on Idex first. They want to see how a coin plays on market.

And what investors should do in such situation? Sell all they have for small money or wait until a token will go up?

I'm asking as a person working in such project. After ICO token price went down (KCY, I'm sure you heard of it). And It is interesting to know investor's opinion about such situation.

What is your idea?

 

Of course holding our token today is the best thing we can do when it's price is dumping. Because if we get feared and sell it easily. Some people will laugh us especially those who are dumpers. It is just only their bait so don't ever step on their trap. But the best thing you can do is to hold and wait for its price to came back. Honestly it is one of the best strategy.
3  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Don't be discouraged! Keep holding. on: September 12, 2018, 11:43:25 AM
I bought bitcoin when it was around $14,500 in January and I am still holding because I am not discouraged.  I have great hope that bitcoin is going to increase in price and volume in some years to come.  

Yes of course. Bitcoin will soon goes up. We don't need to worry to much about. You know what if we have a chance to invest now. I think it is a perfect time to buy bitcoin. The only thing we need to do is to continue holding it until it price will go to the moon again. Because if we worry to much it will never help us to perform our greatest strategy. We need to think positively. Because this status in the market is not forever.
4  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do you think this year will be Red? on: September 12, 2018, 11:39:28 AM

Do you have any good reason to believe that the crypto market is going to grow this year? Do you think we may end up in all red? I do not see the growth and happy investing of last years.


I don't think it too much. Even sometimes we feel fear about it but we can't do anything but to wait. This year is not yet end so we don't need think it to much Because sooner or later it will rise back again.we need to continue waiting until it came back again. It is just like before. Maybe before this year end it will soar high..
5  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: the big fall has arrived today. on: September 12, 2018, 11:35:55 AM
Why is the cryptocurrency market falling today?All cryptocurrencies have fallen a lot this year.Does it mean that this market is going to end?

Definitely not. But you are right in it that most coin today falls sharply until it get to the point that it will scared us. But if you are really a crypto analyst you will predict that after this long dump price soon it will goes us to the point that it will soar high. Don't be scared on it. It is only a normal case. Just continue to wait until it came back again.
6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: can someone help me? on: September 12, 2018, 11:28:04 AM
I am interested to invest on a not well known coin and newly released, what are the factors I need to consider to take a look to know if this coin has a bright future?

Can you give an example of a altcoin that you think will have a good value in the future and why? please give your explanation.

Investing is really risky. You cannot truly predict what will happen to your investment in the future. Especially now that the market moves ups and down. Investing in newly emerge coin will be a very risky decision. So I recommend to you if you will going to invest, invest on those coin that you think has a great potential to rise. But the decision will be yours in the end.
7  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Can Be More Efficient Than Bank Transactions on: September 10, 2018, 11:41:23 PM
Absolutely yes bitcoin transaction is better than banking transaction since it was using a blockchain technology that provides fastest ways of transferring crypto transactions. While banking use a traditional methods of transferring money that's why it takes time to get done or to transact. But we thought we can't deny that sometimes cryptocurrency has a necessary fraudulent activities that's why people can't rely a full trust on crypto world.
8  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Received First Bounty Rewards on: September 06, 2018, 11:02:10 PM
Hello guys I just received my first bounty rewards which is dacc tokens worth 10$ I'm happy today. Share your experience of first bounty rewards too.

Edit: I'm happy because I received my first reward not for that 10$. I know 10$ is littile amount still I'm happy because this is my first bounty reward.

Congratulations!!  It's nice to heard that thing I know even it is $10 I believe it is very helpful to us because you can't get money without working hard. So eventhough anyone said that it is very cheap for them I don't care as long as you earned your rewards for all of your efforts and hardwork. For me not only earning money is important here in crypto world but also learning all about cryptocurrency is always good experience.
9  Economy / Economics / Re: Why all people moan about the price of bitcoin? on: September 05, 2018, 02:04:03 PM
The forum is full of topics - “When Will Bitcoin Be Back To $...”, “Why BTC is under $...?”, “Final bottom at $...”, “Why BTC is down again?”, “Bitcoin will rise again ?” etc. The last two topics may appear in various forms  a dozen times a day.
I looked at graph price of BTC out of curiosity. I have noted to the price floor:

2015 - $200+
2016 - $300+
2017 - $700+
2018 - $5000+


Do you see something frightening in it?

We all can see that price drops because of actions by a Governments and big whales. Because they have the means and opportunities. They want to break into the our market on advantageous terms for them. Okay, well, I mean, that makes sense. We knew it would happen. But why that have to affect us?

In December 2017, the most people said - "Why I didn't buy BTC for $500… for $1000… f#ck it!.. for $2000...", "I will definitely buy BTC if it costs $7k-6k!..". But now when the price drops so well for us, we see "The demand for BTC is dropping". Seriously?!

So, instead to take advantage of the situation, buy up coins and altcoins, attract new people in crypto world more active than before, a lot of people stuck in indecision and think whether crypto market falls to the bottom and stays there.

Guys, are you serious? Crypto world is made by us. Governments and big whales haven’t any tricks to rule our world. It will happen only if we do nothing.

What do you think about it?


Because we cant do anything today..  The market status is at low point we cant sell our coins because that's a very stupid decisions.. But we dont need to lose hope this situation in the market will not stay forever..  Always think that maybe soon it will recover because the best thingwe can do today is to stay positive because the market will move sooner...
10  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you use cryptocurrencies in your daily life? Are they useful? on: September 05, 2018, 01:53:13 PM
This and other questions are part of a questionnaire that we, a research team from the University Institute of Lisbon (ISCTE-IUL) are doing. It seeks to understand the drivers' usage of cryptocurrencies by the end user such as you and me. Considering 10 different dimensions, from perceived usefulness to privacy to profitability, among others.
It takes on average 3 minutes to answer.

Here is the link for the questionnaire:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/cryptocurrencies_usage

More details if you want to know more about it:
For this, it was created a questionnaire with Likert type scale questions. These dimensions will then be used to construct a model, based on the traditional Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) developed in 1989, and some others developed afterwards, but with more adapted to the cryptocurrencies ecosystem. Then it will be done some data analysis and compilation of results.
This questionnaire has some focus on the financial area, but this does not mean it is the most important. We know there are some other dimensions not being addresses in this questionnaire, such as decentralisation/government influence, that may be addressed in the future.
After analysing and publishing the thesis and papers I will post on this forum with infographics and the most important conclusions of the study.

There are no open questions, but you can post here or message me about this.

Thank you for your time! Best Regards,
The University Institute of Lisbon research team


The truth is though it is useful today in our modern day still some business companies didn't allow it to them so we xant really say that it could help us in our daily living..  Today we cant use it to buy simple things in the store especially if you are living in a third world country..  But for me it is also useful..  Because of working here why i didn't problem a lots about my financial aspect..  Thats why even crypto is not widely used as a payment system still it will be very useful to us..  And soon in the future..
11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do we change the public's view of Crypto world? on: September 05, 2018, 01:37:13 PM
Guys we are very much aware how the crypto community through this great forum has helped most of us in terms of our finances but is so heartbreaking that the most of the public views only describes how insecure and unsafe the crypto community is. I do understand that cryptocurrencies are volatile and the issue of anonymity sometimes scares people away but y'all bear with me that if  crypto is explained to you and you really understand it properly you would not make wrong mistakes and get swayed away by panic sales or submit your private key as ethereum wallet address. Is it a public campaign or some other form of tutorial that we should organize to help explain crypto to the world because believe it or not the blockchain technology of cryptocurrencies is being admired by most organizations and some of them have decided to run their operations with the use of blockchain technology. What can we do as a community to help change the public view of Crypto?

Everyone one has its own freedom to woark here or not..  We have a different ways to view the world..  We cant blame them in the first place..  Everyone has its right to make a judgement they have their own perception in life that's why for me though they are really wrong still we cannot pursue them to work here because in the first place they are the one who will know how to manage their life.. Maybe working in crypto for them is just only a time consuming works...
12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: which one is better to buy altcoins or bitcoin on: September 04, 2018, 01:49:53 PM
I am now confused, I want to ask you all, which one is better to buy altcoins or buy bitcoin, which can earn a lot, please give your answer

If you will going to ask me both of that coins has its own potential in the market to rise.. if you can have this two why not you don't need to choose between them because both of it is great.. the only things you need to do is to take a risk because investing in some altcoin today is really risky unlike in bitcoin..
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Some people say Bitcoin and Crypto will disappear from the market, is it really? on: September 04, 2018, 12:02:06 AM
As long as the use of bitcoin and crypto is increasing. Different country and company are constantly bringing new crypto currency to the market. Statistics show that the amount of investment is increasing in the crypto sector. Some banks are already accepting Bitcoin payments. Bitcoin is being used in most countries of the world and there are no restrictions on the use of Bitcoin in those countries. Bitcoins are being accepted on various online sites. Since the discovery of Bitcoin, nearly 2000 more cryptos have come to the market.

Despite the so-called bright future in Bitcoin and Crypto, why do many say that all the cryptos will disappear from market?

No its is only a false information..  They spread it because they feared that someday bitcoin will be very useful in the society..  They didn't know how it function well..  It the amount of bitcoin didn't decrease.. And i dont think it as well.. Bitcoin is really great and it is widely accepted now in every country so we dont need to feared it..
14  Economy / Economics / Re: Is NOW the best time to buy or enter in bitcoin? on: September 03, 2018, 03:15:12 AM
Bitcoin prices plunged from $4900 to $3300 withing pan of few days. Now some news-points from bitcoin world are claiming this price plunge was planned. Check following links:

https://news.bitcoin.com/after-the-boss-calls-bitcoin-a-fraud-jp-morgan-buys-the-dip/
http://btc-flow.in/2017/09/16/after-the-boss-calls-bitcoin-a-fraud-jp-morgan-buys-the-dip/
http://btc-flow.in/2017/09/16/after-the-boss-calls-bitcoin-a-fraud-jp-morgan-buys-the-dip/

Now without going into whether above claims are true or not, my concern is "Isn't this is the right time to enter the bitcoin market or purchase few more". There is definite signs of improvement in the bitcoin price market. Current price is around $3757. It is quite possible to see bitcoin back to 4k to 5k or more. Given biggest players from finance sector are eying this lucrative market.
What do you think, is this is right time to buy some more bitcoins or wait and watch?


Probably yes..  It is a perfect time to invest in bitcoin and even in other altcoin...  Because as for the current situations in the market..  Its price is still low we can buy it today...  But still we need to have a lots of knowledge about investing...  Even we know a lots about bitxoin..  We know all that it has a huge potential but if you are truly wise you will never failed in investing...  We need to know how to play well here in the market...
15  Economy / Economics / Re: How did Crypto help you out? on: August 30, 2018, 12:11:30 AM
This question is especially for those who have been into crypto for a long time. How did cryptocurrency help you, most specifically financially? Did you earn more? Gain more investment? I do have a friend who wants to get into crypto but he does not have a lot of savings in his bank account or any major investment. I told him to save more before getting into crypto because they still have mortgage and car loan to pay. Do you think crypto will help him out to?

There are a lots of uses of cryptocurrency to us..  In my case it really helps me when it about to finacial aspect..  It is really great because even i am just a student i can earn a little..  It really helps in a lot of way, i didn't came here only to earn but i want also to learn something..  Because for me cryptocurrency is really a life changer that's why i continue working her beond its riskiness..
16  Economy / Economics / Re: How to manage the risk in investing cryptocurrency? on: August 30, 2018, 12:03:54 AM
The risk in the virtual currency market is the risk of losing some or all of its capital when the investor performs the investment or virtual currency transaction. Identify the risks before conducting a transaction, helping them to know the specific loss rate in each case of investment will be how to, minimum and maximum how to decide the scale of investment, the first time investment, time of investment completion, and other relevant factors.


You know what we cant control the risk in investing but if we know how to choose well we cant possibly reduce this risk...  Investing is really risky but it is one of a good source of profit...  That's why we need to make a great decision.. We need to have a wide knowledge first about investment to reduce or possibly avoid scam investment...
17  Economy / Economics / Re: WHEN WILL PEOPLE LEARN? on: August 28, 2018, 09:49:35 AM
So saw many self airdrops of ERC20 tokens and wave platforms in social media. They would promise their investors a cheap token price purchase, and in turn promise a good listing price at the exchange. 98% of these self airdrop never make it to exchange, and the few that get listed in a decentralized exchange get pumped for 2hrs and there after dumped forever. Why do you think people still patronize these scamming project and not study good ICOs and buy? 

Yeah..  A lots of people do it without even taking a research.. They just making a huge decision that they never think well in the first place...  Thats why before we do it we need to make sure that we have enough knowledge for it.. Its hard to try something if you didn't even know it...  But it is our work here we need first to experience before we will learn...
18  Economy / Economics / Re: Mistakes That Make You Poor Poor In Cryptocurrency on: August 28, 2018, 09:43:20 AM
With cryptocurrency, you have to be careful with any fraud and theft. and usually many people who are caught in the losses in the world of crypto is:
1. Not Backup Key
2. Electricity Billing Mining More
3. Lunes In Phishing Sites
4. Buy Coin With Rumors
5. Create a weak password
6. Steal With Stealth ICO

With cryptocurrency, no bank or other institution or regulation will protect you in the event of a loss.
In addition to these, I have encountered a lack of knowledge when buying Altcoin junk, which made me unable to sell them. I consider it a mistake of myself and I need to find out thoroughly before deciding to do something. And thanks for the things you shared in this article


I agree to you as well...  That's why knowledge is really important.. Because if we didn't have this we will loss to much..  Like if we will going to invest..  If we invest easily without having our research about it.. We will loss so much that's why we needed it..  And also we need to be mentally and emotionally stable because sometimes it is the reason why lots of people failed...
19  Economy / Economics / Re: Weak Hands lose money, strong hands makes profits in this game! on: August 28, 2018, 09:18:12 AM
I have been through this time and time again. We go through a dip and everyone is running for the hills or selling their coins.

The trolls come out of their caves and the panic nanny behaviour kick into action, triggering a massive sell off amongst the weak hands. <Newbies & Speculators>

I woke up yesterday and I saw the price was just above $9000. My first thought was, "Damn, I need to buy quickly, before this goes up" and I did. ^smile^

Most people woke up and the first thing they did was to fire up a browser and to read the comments of these trolls and media shills and consequently selling their coins in a state of panic.

The weak hands will lose money and the strong will thrive in this game. Hodl on people! <Buy the Dip>  Grin

I definetly agree to it..  If you have strong hand you will win and probably you will earn more..  But if you are weak hands you will possibly loss..  The market is just like a game we need to play in it well for us not to loss..  Hold your coin until you think that the market is really good...  Today it is much better to buy and hold than to sell...
20  Economy / Economics / Re: Is the government really scary? on: August 24, 2018, 02:29:19 PM
Many people say the government is not interested in cryptocurrency. Many people think the government has prohibit
crypto to protect investors from risks. Maybe in your country, that's true. But in some countries, especially developing countries, the government just wants to rob your assets. They rob publicly, lawfully and as much as possible. they are really bandits.I'm not afraid what they do. Because we have many ways to fight them. But this world is not as simple as you think.They can kill you if you are demonstrating.
You can ask any vietnamese that : Do you support your government ? I bet 99% answer is never. 1% remaining I'm sure they are goverment employee or their family. Wink
They really do jobs under the hood, it has been ages since they have done that and only few people from the public knows that aside from them. As for my situation, I don't do things that would actually put my life in danger, staying in crypto doesn't mean we will be killed in the near future I guess it depends on how you protect your self from them. But still only few of our people knows Blockchain and even the government are not interested in it for now, maybe another year or certain events could lit the fire.

You are correct we all know how the government do their works.. They love to work in secret maybe they are the reason behind why a lots of scammers and hackers..  But still we cant accuse them easily because we have no evidence.. A lots says that the government do it because they fear that it could help evry citizen and if that will be the case what is their used in society if cryptocurrency already solve it...  But we should trust them beyond it... Its up to us if we will be get feared or not...
