In past years, the utilization of e-currency, making online  transactions, doing shopping and lots more has always been limited to some setting countries.

Some countries are like outcast when it comes to Using e-currently for online transactions, which is very common among the Africa continent, and a practical example is Nigeria.

I'm using Nigeria as a case study because this is where I'm from and I know how it feels to be rejected by some financial institutions, especially when they are the only hope you have, eg PayPal!

I have worked myself out in past years searching for how to make money on the internet, I've bought e-books, registered on website that requires you to pay some amount of money before you can start using their platform. But all these turn out to be a total waste of time and resources, because all the money made from these platforms I was never able to withdraw them, because PayPal will never accept my country. Everyday I pray for miracle to happen that will make PayPal to accept my country. But paypal never did! And I never gave up.

Not until the birth of Blockchain/Crypto! PayPal is scared of Crypto, it CEO and all other financial institutions both offline and online will try every means to label Crypto a scam and illegal, But the fact is that, Crypto is here to stay, Crypto is a  game changer, it an eye opener, I can do whatever I  want to do online now with help of blockchain without thinking twice!

God finally answered my prayers!

The full potential of blockchain is yet to be discovered, I urge every Crypto enthusiasts to be optimistic in their quest for utilizing the full potential of this great technology that we have in our disposal.


God blessed every Crypto evangelist.

The market seems to be green again. There's a lot momentum around some coins at the moment. EOS, ETH, IOTA, and so many other coins are significantly well. Even King BTC hit $7k and it has stayed above it for the most part of today. Is it same to say the bearish market situation is over and the bulls back in business to dominate the market?

Hello I didn't know anything about trading until I first started trading monero on poloniex when it was like $5. Now I've learned a lot just from trading and mining crypto but my only experience is with crypto.

So I guess this is backwards but now I would like to try trading or investing outside of crypto....is that stocks?...see I have no clue what everything is called. Are there trading sites like bittrex etc?

what is the differences between a crypto exchange and a "stock exchange" that trades in dollars? Do you have to provide ID? Are they easier to fund in dollars?

Is there anything like a Trade Satoshi where I can just practice with small amounts?

Thanks for any information

Remember, this whole thing about crypto is largely decentralized, thus, there is no single authoritative body in control of the crypto market. Although there are few centralized platforms among crypto, the market is largely influenced by the efforts and influence of the users of crypto. How well sellers and buyers treat the coins on the market affect the performance of the market.

Earning in cryptocurrency start with this forum. The first thought that come to my mind was to make some money out of nowhere like joining bounty campaign. Yet, I have tried and it does not compensate well for there are scam ICO projects and relatively will not give bounty rewards. Thus, the painful part started when I was not able to receive rewards. Yet, I never thought that I could like more on cryptocurrency and without the forum I could not learn how to do it.

For being a member of this forum, I have sought some things or ways on how to earn on cryptocurrency. I tried investing small scale and apparently it was a failure. However, I did not discourage instead it was a motivation to find ways and establish a strategy. I know there is no easy way to earn but as long as you have a good strategy, patience, timing and other factors will relatively help one to earn in the investment.

Unfortunately bitcoin now is not that volatile compared to BCH and Ripple so I have decided to take part on this crypto also aside from bitcoins. I have tried to day trade with it but for some reason I have to join with other cryptocurrency and do day trading.


Thanks again to this forum it was privileged for being here. I have learn my lessons!

Note: This thread is self moderated!

Is it to engage in new campaigns  and advertise for them and the next thing vooom....you are out in search of another campaign or is there something else which I don't know about

I have been reading many reports in the press that (Bitcoin) Cryptocurrency is dead, does anyone have any ideas why we are witnessing such a crash as is currently taking place, I feel the banks are doing all they can to unsettle prospective users of bitcoin so they retain the monopoly. I am now seeing twitter alive with people giving away coins etc, what are you doing with yours?

Selling Up

Holding On

if you can do a yes or no we can have a little poll for a couple of days

Well a lot of critics has come out to state a lots of rumours about bitcoin and in some way caused panic well that's among the newbies.
So said bit coin is a bubble just like tulips, some says it is a ponzi scheme and will soon be banned

Other where critical about it's security level and it's vulnerability to hackers well over nine years bitcoin still is the top coin in the cryptocurrency and those critics are still trying to purchase more bitcoin

What is the worst thing you have heard about bitcoin

Do you like eth based dapps better or eos based?
Why is that?

It is easy to get stucked in this trap when you read a particular economic news and tell yourself that it seems likely to make the market go in a certain direction. Once you convinced yourself that what you expect to happen is basically you digging for your account. In the early years of trading, many traders were stuck in the trap of trading in news and focused too much on fundamental analysis. 
 Trying to find out what the market is going to act next after the major economic reports are published appears to be obvious and useful to a trader at the time. However, you may be surprised to learn that the trader focuses too much on news that is losing money as prices tend to move in the opposite direction from what the news reflects.

I know that mainly people are frustrated, because it's been nearly a year since the huge price drop. Portfolios are still 70% down and nothing seems to promise the brighter future. I wrote a small article about the adtantage of the current situation and would really like to hear what you think about it: https://medium.com/@nd.invest.ico/the-true-face-of-the-crypto-market-4ae165912e8a.
Thanks!

Right now bitcoin price is very low, some investor are investing their money for buying bitcoin.
is bitcoin worthy to buy ? right now?
Do you agree with this or not ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,???

We all know about the volatility of the crypto market, but somehow we still preach about the Hodl doctrine. What keeps you motivated to do so? and what sort of trust do you have in cryptocurrencies?

Investors like us are into predictions and discussions, but are we close to accuracy?

I hope everyone is good. Today, I will present you top 5 mistakes which are usually do a beginner. I understand these topics from Youtube and like to share it with you. So that no one else will make such a mistake in future.

So let's start♥

1/ 😟 Wrong Investment Strategies 😟

👉 People invest into cryptocurrencies by borrowing money from relatives and panic sell whenever price falls to cut their losses.

👉 People invest big at a very early stage without getting a better understanding of the market.

👉 Invest on shitty coins.

2/ 😟 Improper knowledge 😟

👉 The most common mistake that people do is that they get involved into the crypto currency by a MLM trader.

👉 They invest big without knowing exactly how crypto currency works.

👉 People who get into crypto often don't do proper research before investigating into an Coin or into an ICO.They don't read the "White Paper" of the coin.They don't research about the technology and the team.

👉 People also don't keep them upto date by the latest news and because of this they often miss out the profit opportunities as well as incu huge loses.

3/ 😟 No understanding of price fluctuation 😟

👉 I have seen people getting into cryptocurrencies when it's on a rise and every coin in the market on bull run.

👉 People don't have a holding power.

👉 Fails to understand that crypto currency price also has a tendency to fall.

4/ 😟 Day trading and FUDS 😟

👉 Another common mistakes beginnings do is that they get effected by the FUD's very easily and quickly and therefore sell their coins.

👉 Another mistake what people do is that they join pump and dump groups on Facebook and whatsapp and other social media sites and follow them blindly without DYOR.

👉 Start "Day Trading" which can be very risky if you are a beginner.

5/ 😟 Security risk 😟

👉 Keep all of their long-term #HOLD coins on different exchanges instead if keeping them into digital wallets.

👉 This often pose a serious threat of losing their coin hacking or malfunctioning.

👉 Don't activate 2FA security.

👉 Instead of writing down the key phrases and passwords on a piece of paper they memorize it and often forget their passwords.

Thank you very much everyone 😉

The goal of technology was for everyone to have easier lives and work less. Well todays generations have it much tougher.  They are working for much lower wages and longer hours.  Its next to impossible for millenials to purchase a house on their own.  Something here itsn't right, Capitalism?

Is it true that the market usually rises before the end of the year?
If so, why do you think it happens?
I spoke with few people that already said that in the last 5 years the market became really bulish

to get a lot of bitcoin cash and to dump bitcoin price..

i dont get it. if roger ver is holding that much bitcoin. he will be the first person smiling if bitcoin price are high as ATH as always,
buy why is he risking all his bitcoin to promote bitcoin cash? is it greed? or pride? or that he is really trying to continue the real bitcoin with bitcoin cash.?

thoughts anyone..

Today Marked My 120 days as a bounty hunter and during this period I have gained more experience and knowledge in cryptocurrency as participating in bounty programs gave me additional exposure to the latest happenings around the crypto space. So I decided to drop few things i have learnt and also provide answers to some of the most frequent questions asked.

The Few Things I Have Learnt In The Last 120 Days
During the past 120 days, I have learnt the following from participating in different bounty programs :>
1. Patience: Participating in bounty program have taught me how to exercise patience. I have come to know that whenever they announce that they are going to distribute on a specified date just don’t expect it that day so you won’t be disappointed. Wait for them to carefully distribute your reward directly to your wallets.
2. Effective Time Management: This is one of the most important factor in bounty programs and I have seen many work got rejected because of late submission. Rule is rule and it must be obey irrespective of individual participating.
3. In-Dept Trading: Before joining I will say I have been able to trade in few cryptocurrency trading platform. Bounty have opened my eyes to numerous trading platform that I haven’t used before now.
4. Perseverance And Consistency: This keeps me going to strive for the best all the time. It is true that hunters are at the mercy of Bounty Manger Mangers and the Project team when it comes to distribution of rewards.

What Bounty Is?
Bounties are extraordinary program set aside to create awareness for the development of cryptocurrency projects and such programs usually end up rewarding participants that participated during the program. Another thing you should know is that there is always a specific time set aside for any bounty program, it can be 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks and more many depending on the Project and the number of participants that sign up for it.  With this I have been able to classify Bounty into two, which are the specified and unspecified Bounty.
For Specified Bounty, there is always a specific time for such programs to end except otherwise stated. While the Unspecified Bounty end as soon as ICO ends. So it is important for bounty hunters to note the difference especially when choosing a bounty program to participate in.

Who Are Bounty Hunters?
These are some set of individuals that participates in bounty program. In addition, hunters are those set of persons who have little or no knowledge but have already made up their mind to agree to the terms and conditions of any bounty program they chose to participate in. Hence they are the Marketers that deploy their tools to create awareness for cryptocurrency projects.

Who Is A Bounty Manager?
Bounty Manager oversee the well-being of Bounty Program. They launches the program, set rules and effectively manage the bounty program. He or She as the case maybe are the ones hunters report to and are also responsible for awarding stakes. A Bounty manager can also be called; a Campaign Manager. Let me not forget to say that Bounty Manager are experience and it is difficult for hunters to trick them because they have seen it all and knows what it takes to embark in bounty. For Good Bounty Manager, check here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3085997.0 Also there are some platforms that launched good bounty programs and in this platforms you don’t need to submit your reports as it will be tracked automatically, such platforms are: BountyHive, Bounty0X, Bountyplatform to mention a few.

What Are Campaigns?
Campaigns are Subset of Bounty. In Bounty Programs, there are different types of campaigns these are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Telegram which can be classified as Social media campaign and lately some Bounty Manager have started Classifying Reddit and LinkedIn Social as Social Media campaigns. We also have Translation, Signature, Content Creation (Articles/Blog and Videos) and Reddit Campaign.

What Stakes Is?
These are deploy tools used by bounty managers in rewarding bounty hunters before carrying out extensive calculations based on token. The beauty about stakes is that it is directly proportional to the number of tokens you will receive. So the higher your stakes, the higher your tokens.

Few Things You Need To Check Before Jumping In Any Campaign
1. Carry out extensive research on the background of the projects, check for the authenticity of the team members and advisors.
2. If it is an ICO project, check if they have reached Softcap at least you might get your reward. So I believe you might have decided after checking out those all but important things.
3. Now on the Bounty itself, make sure you read and understand the General rules and regulations of the Bounty. Check the total allocation for the whole campaign to know how feasible it is.
4. Then decide the exact program you can embark on, Translation, Signature, Facebook, and Twitter, Articles/Blog/Video and others.
5. Follow the rules, report your activities according to the campaigns you participate in. You might be required to submit your activities via google form or through the Bitcointalk Bounty thread depending on the project. There are some Bounty that don’t allow participants to edit their already submitted activities while there are some that do not put that into consideration. These are part of the reason you need to read the rules as it will guide in getting your rewards at the end of the campaigns. I have heard and seen reports from different hunters on Telegram Bounty group complaining of not receiving rewards forgetting they refuse to follow the rules.

Do I Need To Pay Before Participating In Any Bounty Program?
No, you don’t pay but rather you are rewarded for participating. Note that rewards are only meant for those who follow the rules guiding the bounty program and also carry out the require task.

Which Campaign Is More Rewarding?
This is a difficult questions because of the number of hunters who get involved in Bounty Program this days. So what I do is after checking the total allocation, briefly I observe the spreadsheet to see where there are few participants. Trust me, Telegram, Twitter and Facebook always have highest number of participants and to earn big over there you will need to be that one participants with the highest number of Facebook friends and Twitter Followers. Also try as much as possible to start your activities from the beginning of the campaign that will give you an extra edge over others.
I think I will have to go with Translation----->>>Signature----->>>Articles/Blogs/Videos----->>>Reddit----->>>Facebook, Twitter----->>>Telegram campaigns. This order shows the highest to the least rewarding campaigns.

Why Have There Been Delays In Paying For Bounty Program Of Recent?
From what I have observed so far, I think most project are trying to protect their token from depreciating in value in this bearish market as almost all altcoins have experience this of recent. Also I will like all bounty participants to understand that as far as you participate in a genuine and sincere project, I think your reward will come but it is just a matter of time they will surely distribute this reward to those participants who carry out the right task and meet the rules of the bounty program.

In conclusion, I have learnt, enjoy and benefited from my last 120 days as a bounty hunter and I anticipates for more progress as my Journey continues.

I need a new cryptocurrency trading platform and prestige, who can introduce me !!!
