1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Is Alltoscan an improvement in DeFi? on: May 13, 2024, 07:32:59 PM

Hey folks, good day

I've been eyeballing a project called Alltoscan that popped up in 2022, and I'm kinda on the fence about whether it's a solid investment. Hoping to get some thoughts and a bit of a reality check from you all.

It's a decentralized platform built on blockchain tech aiming to smooth out the experience for folks diving into decentralized finance (DeFi).

Would really appreciate your take on whether Alltoscan is as good as it sounds, or if I should be looking at this with a more critical eye. What should I watch out for? Any and all opinions are welcome!

Thanks in advance for your insights!

2  Economy / Speculation / BITCOIN AT 63K. What should we expect moving forward? on: May 04, 2024, 05:55:52 AM
Woke up to see BTC at 63k this cold Saturday morning, although I'm excited but I'm kinda skeptical and have questions. Is the retracment over? Will price create another ATH from here or is this a dead cat bounce? Let's share opinions below.
3  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / DEPIN Rising: How Meson Network is Revolutionizing Infrastructure on: April 26, 2024, 08:48:55 AM
The Bitcoin halving has passed, and the market sentiment remains calm no much momemtum. However, other sectors like DeFi, gaming, and NFTs are thriving. The emerging DEPIN sector is also gaining traction, with Meson Network (MSN) catching my attention alongside Helium and Filecoin. While Helium revolutionizes credit with algorithmic approaches and Filecoin automates trading strategies with smart contracts, MSN stands out with its decentralized marketplace for computing power and cloud storage services.

What sets MSN apart imo is its focus on decentralization, end-to-end encryption, and incentive mechanisms, making it a promising platform for developers and users. Its open-source code and connection with Web2 and Web3 applications open up real-world use cases like secure messaging, file sharing, and Dapps. With its censorship-resistant communication channel, MSN is poised to impact regions with internet censorship.

As MSN gains traction with scheduled listings, I wonder: Will MSN's decentralized computing power and cloud storage services make them stand out?

4  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Unlocking Bitcoin's Full Potential: The Merlin Protocol Effect on: April 18, 2024, 01:23:33 PM
The Bitcoin ecosystem has seen significant growth, with various cryptographic assets emerging, including Ordinals inscription NFTs, BRC20, SRC20, and derivatives tied to Bitcoin hashpower, with a collective market valuation of around $900B. Despite this growth, the Bitcoin network still lacks native support for smart contracts, leading to scalability issues. However, developers have found workarounds, and new projects like Merlin Protocol have emerged. Merlin P. has successfully adapted and issued encrypted assets, including BTC, BRC20, and Bitcoin hashpower, into the EVM network ecosystem, with plans for compatibility with new types of encrypted assets and innovative Bitcoin L2 protocols.

So here's the question mates. As the Bitcoin ecosystem continues to evolve, will Merlin Protocol and other innovative solutions be enough to overcome the scalability challenges and propel Bitcoin to the forefront of the crypto market, or will Ethereum and other blockchain 2.0 platforms maintain their lead in the smart contract & DeFi space? Let's talk!.

5  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / PoolX, a more flexible launchpool option? on: April 08, 2024, 11:49:12 AM
Hey fellas, while we anticipate the bull run in full flow, I've been searching for flexible ways to at least accumulate some altcoins to beef up my portfolio. I've been using launchpools on Binance and Bitget, and I think it's been rewarding, but I needed more 😂, don't call me greedy. Thankfully, the latter just debuted a product called PoolX.

It's a stake-to-mine platform, but it's more flexible, you know?

✅ Rewards are dropped daily
✅ You can stake and withdraw daily.
✅Supports both new and existing projects

https://www.google.com/amp/s/alexablockchain.com/bitget-launches-poolx/%3famp=1

Would this be something you'll try due to its flexibility, or not? I would love to hear your views.

6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / What's your top performing altcoin this year so far?? on: April 08, 2024, 09:22:16 AM
Hey mates, as we get closer to the halving, I wanted to ask, what are your top performing altcoins for the year so far, and which ones are you looking to add to your portfolio as we progress deeper into the year
7  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / BGB hits another ATH, despite the crypto downtrend.. on: April 03, 2024, 08:53:33 AM
In April, most crypto assets, including BTC and ETH, started on a downtrend, but BGB has been impressive, reaching another all-time high and currently trading around $1.26.


Here's why I think it's going to be an exciting exchange token to watch out for this year:

As a holder, you receive staking rewards.
Enjoy trading fee discounts.
Benefit from daily free withdrawals and much more.

Here's a comparison it to other CEX tokens, in terns of mcap etc..I'll definitely be topping up my bags 😃 and hoping for more gains. What do you think about this?



8  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Memecoin expansion, now set to hold a live conference.. on: April 02, 2024, 10:20:43 AM
Hey everyone, happy new month! Since the beginning of the year, there has been an impressive rise in memecoins, and despite some disapproval, many of us have profited. Some time ago, I started a thread discussing memecoins with utilities, and they were diverse views on the matter, but let's put that aside for now.

Here's another piece of news that caught my attention: the first physical memecoin conference, set to take place in Lisbon, Portugal. It's quite far for me, so I won't be attending, but for degens, it could be a valuable experience. You can connect, network, and of course, enjoy the party. What do you all think about this? Could it usher in a new era of memecoins?

9  Economy / Trading Discussion / What's happening to kucoin? on: March 29, 2024, 12:07:51 PM
Just searched about KuCoin, and I'm seeing some disturbing news about their founders being charged by the Justice Department for violating some laws.

Does anyone know more about this? What implications could this have on the CEX, especially now that they're targeted in the US?

10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Exploring Undervalued Launchpad Tokens.. on: March 28, 2024, 11:49:43 AM
We've witnessed recent advancements in areas such as AI, RWA, Gamefi, and memecoins projects, but we haven't really seen insane pumps on launchpad tokens yet, even though they are crucial for platforms ecosystems

In my quest for more information, I scoured through CoinMarketCap to analyze launchpad tokens that are undervalued and possibly haven't gained momentum.

My search parameters were:

✅ Low market cap
✅ Below $1
✅ Good backing
✅ Listed on reputable centralized exchanges

While ICP and DAO are solid plays, they didn't fit into my criteria. I delved deeper until I stumbled upon Decubate.
 

Decubate is a fully-regulated leading IDO launchpad from the Netherlands, illuminating the path towards a more accessible and impactful future in Web3. I did a quick search on Twitter and found some positive reviews, which further strengthened my conviction.. the price trend is also good imo



What do you all think.. Do you have launchpad tokens in your portfolio?
11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Countdown to the 4th Bitcoin halving.. what should we expect? on: March 25, 2024, 02:36:46 PM
We've been hearing about the Bitcoin halving for a while, and some may be confused about its significance. In this post, I'll simplify it 😁. Let's hope I'm able to do that.

Bitcoin undergoes a halving event approximately every four years, with the fourth halving estimated to occur around April 23, 2024, at block height 840,000. This event reduces the block reward for miners from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC. Halvings limit the issuance of new bitcoins, impacting supply dynamics and historically correlating with crypto bull markets.

Some may ask about the impact of the Bitcoin halving. In my opinion, the halving significantly affects economics, sustainability, and ecosystem development. Economically, it slows the circulation of new bitcoins, affecting supply and demand equilibrium and potentially increasing market value. It highlights Bitcoin's deflationary nature, appealing to long-term investors as a store of value. Sustainability-wise, it ensures continuous Bitcoin production, supporting mining and network operation. In terms of ecosystem development, it boosts Bitcoin's price, attracting attention, funds, and talent to the blockchain sector, shaping its future trajectory and sparking discussions on Bitcoin's value and role in digital finance.

Some may wonder how this affects the price of Bitcoin going forward. From historical data, Bitcoin has always risen after the previous three halvings. Let's see if this trend continues.

What's your take on this? How excited are you for this halving, and what's your prediction for BTC price movements?

12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Solchat, the future of communication? on: March 19, 2024, 12:30:44 PM
Okay, I found something interesting recently and I've been wrapping my head around it. Solchat—influencers say it's a new way to communicate with each other on the Blockchain, and it's built on the Solana chain.

You know how apps like WhatsApp are controlled by someone or a company? Solchat isn't. It's powered by users and is censorship-resistant. It also supports phone calls, video calls, and a lot of other functions.

Seeing the latest trend on Solana, what do you think about Solchat? Genius or not?


13  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Looks like Nigeria is getting worse.. on: March 19, 2024, 07:24:08 AM

Seems this country is getting worse. How una see am?
14  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Is meme risk worth the reward? on: March 15, 2024, 11:03:05 AM
Okay, here's why I'm here. I've been noticing memecoins trending lately, such as Pepe, Doge, Shiba, WIF, Wen, Myro, which started the charge. Before newer Solana memes like Peng, Brett (this one is on the base Blockchain), and recently Bome, making impressive gains. My question to my fellow Nigerians is, for those on the meme train:

1.How do you spot these memecoins quickly?

2.For someone like me who doesn't use dex, which cex is the best for listing early trending memes?

3. Is the reward worth more than the risk?

And any suggestions you could give.
15  Economy / Trading Discussion / Best place to trade options and perpetuals futures. CEX OR DEX? on: March 13, 2024, 02:52:45 PM
Hey mates! We've been discussing memes and NFTs lately, but it's time to explore altcoins/projects with real utilities, like a high-performance derivative DEX, you know?

In this space, most people use DEXs, while some prefer CEXs. Personally, I find a balance using both. During my research for a top DEX to meet my trading needs, especially for options and perpetuals, I stumbled upon Aevo. After some surface research, it looks exciting.

✅ Airdrops to communities
✅ Exchange listings: Binance/BitGet
✅ Surpassed $10B in options trading volume since inception
✅ The team is experienced, with backgrounds from companies like Coinbase, Goldman Sachs, and MIT.

I haven't used the platform yet, so I'm here, as usual, for your valued opinions. What do y'all think about Dex platform for options and perps trading
16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Nfts projects next in line for the bull run? on: March 11, 2024, 05:09:00 PM
Since the start of this crypto run, been making some research on some nfts projects, seeing that that sector hasn't generated any attention as it used to.

During my research I came across ECOMI, quickly searched Google and I found out that it's not a new project but they've been building with solid nfts utilities. Their token Omi has been migrated to erc20 and it's already trading on platforms like Gate, okx, bitget etc.. heard of this? Do you think it's a long term hold. Just give your opinion not a financial advice.

17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Where will the money flow to next? on: March 11, 2024, 09:45:05 AM
Few weeks ago I made a post asking if BTC will hit ATH before the year ends. See here 👉(https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5486703.msg63723136#msg63723136) and there were contrasting views. Thankfully, BTC answered the question itself. Ahah. Now here's something on my mind. We've seen AI projects and meme tokens explode recently and the momentum is kind of cooling down now.

So where do you think the money will flow to next? GameFi, Layer 1, or BRC-20 tokens? Let me hear your opinions.
18  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Forget Bitcoin - Memecoins Like Pepe, FLOKI and Bonk Are the Big Gainers Now on: March 04, 2024, 06:46:02 AM
The memecoin craze has returned in full force, with several meme-themed cryptocurrencies seeing massive gains recently. Leading the pack is PepeCoin (PEPE), which has skyrocketed over 60% in the last 24 hours.

Pepe is a memecoin based on the popular Pepe the Frog meme. It was originally launched in 2013 but gained renewed interest this year as the memecoin market heated up again. The recent price surge has made Pepe one of the top trending coins today, according to CoinMarketCap.

Other memecoins seeing big gains include Wif, FLOKI, SHIBA and Bonk. All doing impressive numbers over the weekend.

The return of memecoin mania also reflects the powerful momentum of hype and virality in crypto. Memecoins often have very enthusiastic online communities that aggressively promote their coin, fueling massive rallies. While memecoin investments are highly risky due to the volatility, the potential for explosive short-term gains is enticing many retail investors.

The comeback of memecoin mania is also indicative of the current bullish sentiment in the crypto markets. With Bitcoin and Ethereum recovering strongly in 2024 so far, investors are more willing to speculate on altcoins in hopes of parabolic returns. This is pushing up memecoins along with the broader altcoin market.

The big question is: which memecoin will perform best going forward this year? Could we see Dogecoin reclaim its former glory as the king of memecoins? Or will newcomers like Pepe, FLOKI, WIF and Bonk continue to steal the spotlight? I'll like to hear your views...
19  Economy / Trading Discussion / Joining a Trading Competition to Flex My Skills in the Bull Market on: February 28, 2024, 03:43:53 PM
With Bitcoin trading around $61,000, there's a palpable excitement in the crypto community that the bull market may be kicking into high gear. As BTC continues its climb, many traders are eager to rotate profits into altcoins, hoping they'll rally even harder if Bitcoin dominance starts to fade.

I'm feeling the FOMO myself and want to try my hand at trading this cycle. Though I'm still new, I think joining a trading competition could be a fun way to get my feet wet. Some platforms  often run promotional contests where traders can win prizes for having the highest profit percentage over a set period.

Maybe I could find a low stakes competition for beginners to enter. It would be cool to spar with other novice traders as we try to time the tops and bottoms across different crypto pairs🚀. Even if I don't win big, the experience of trading under pressure will undoubtedly sharpen my skills for when I put real capital on the line. And with all the euphoria around this bull market, I bet I won't be the only one hoping to ride the wave to profits. So any suggestions as to my requests or what do y'all think about competitions in general?
20  Economy / Speculation / Can we see BTC at ATH before the year ends? on: February 26, 2024, 05:20:29 PM
I've watched BTC go from 23k to 52800 currently and with reports stating BTC outflows from exchanges rising to 8months HIGH, do you think BTC will hit ATH this year?
