81  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Never invest in any cryptocurrencies! on: August 23, 2020, 01:49:20 PM
I don't think the people who became millionaires through cryptos agree with this statement. but afterwards it is of course easy to talk. the question now is of course whether it is still profitable to invest in bitcoins at the moment, for example. I would say yes. still is some kind of gambling, but that is the wonderful thing of live.
The number of people becoming millionaires by trading cryptocurrencies is pretty limited and only a small percentage of people are able to make it that far to be honest, it really takes dedication to fail so many times and still try again and again in order to become consistent in taking profits from the cryptocurrency markets which are extremely volatile and unpredictable to any untrained eye. Investing in bitcoin is not a gamble if you ask me, it is really a good place to invest your money rather than investing in a property or any other kind of High yield investment, bitcoin is risk free and a safe investment according to me.
82  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin market cap can exceed Gold's after the next decade on: August 23, 2020, 10:05:29 AM
At this point the market cap of Bitcoin is around $384 billion and Gold's 9 trillion. Assuming that Gold's will double, try to imagine Bitcoin value.
Posted by Morgan Creek co-founder on Twitter personal page as a proof for the future of his actual beliefs regarding Bitcoin potential:

"Bitcoin’s market cap will surpass gold’s market cap by Dec 31, 2029.

Posting this as a receipt for the future."

Do you think it is a right and robust statement to say? How do we will approach Bitcoin blockchain after 10 years?
Lets have a reality check, assuming the stats given by you about the doubling of the market cap of gold in next decade then it will be 18 Trillion dollars and assuming all 21 million bitcoins are mined in the next decade, then also the price of bitcoin should be at least  $857,142.857143, which is harder to achieve than it seems written down, this is almost 71x of the current price(assuming it to be $12k). I guess, bitcoin can't equal the market cap of gold in the next decade and it will take lot more time than that to beat gold in market cap, but we should always have our hopes high regarding the investment in which we have invested and never be tempted to sell our coins after witnessing a mere 2x on the initial investment.
83  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Polkadot - new top ten member on: August 23, 2020, 08:01:36 AM
as of today, Polkadot entered top ten list of coins, pushing BNB out from the top ten, and BSV on the position ten
Polkadot is smart contract platform, and could be serious contender to Ethereum and other platforms, with Cardano just a few percents away on position eight

what do you think about it?
I never heard of this token before, maybe I am outdated right now, so is this platform completely just like Ethereum or there are some differences between the two??
how old is this project, can you please give me brief highlights about this project, or maybe point me to the right direction to understand the details about Polkadot, the name sounds catchy!!!

this coin has been hype for a couple years now, it was in top 20 even when it don't have a blockchain to prove, deep pocket whales could turn any shiit project into a shining star, just saying.
OR, maybe it is because of the support of the community and the developers that are working hard enough to show the world that any coin can break the top 10 barrier if the team is dedicated enough to work that hard. In the end their efforts have paid off really well for now.
84  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto currency is all about Hodling. on: August 23, 2020, 06:09:37 AM
The truth about crypto currency is that it is more about hodling, technically, crypto is hodling.
Most people that has been able to take profit from crypto currency trade or investment are those that have mastered the act of hodling.

Knowing when to hodl, when not to hodl is an important skill you need.
If you know the art of trading, then holding cryptocurrencies makes no sense at all, you will always be having same number of cryptocurrencies when you are holding, but if you trade then your bankroll will also improve along with the number of coins that you hold in your wallet as well. So I guess, newbies should hold their crypto but with experience they should try to gain the knowledge of trading too along with holding your coins, this will maximize the profits that you earn from cryptocurrencies.
85  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to make old people understand Bitcoin? on: August 23, 2020, 04:31:57 AM
And if you want to make it easier, I think you should target a specific group of old people. If you will randomly get old people just to tell them about btc, it will somehow be hard. Try targeting old people who live their life around the aspect of money, banking, investments, stocks, technology etc. They will be interested about it as long as you are good in explaining. But of course you can still try other group of old people specially those who are not even aware of the technologies we have right now. Goodluck with that OP.
There are only a small percentage of old people that are in the banking sector or in finance and most of them would be knowing what is bitcoin but they have spent their entire lives doing transactions in fiat and now they would not be as flexible like a new comer adult in the same industry, just have a look at Warren Buffet, he don't want to indulge in bitcoin maybe because he doesn't like that much volatility and want to play safe with his billions of dollars now in his old age, I guess it will be better to make the adults understand about bitcoins and also the children, they are the future of the world.
People are individually unique. We cannot see the level of enjoyment and awareness of the people when they are using technology. Maybe, this is easy to other specially those who had education but there are older people who can't take any changes. I think we cannot force them to know all about cryptocurrency because it might just end their lives. Sharing only about btc is a good way for them not to be ignorance. After all, the dedication they will put in order to know is their liability.
I really like what you said "end their lives" hahah.
Yes old people should be left alone at which most of them are best, they should enjoy their retirement in peace, although my grandfather isn't like the rest, he knows a lot about finance and investing as he started from zero and was living paycheck to paycheck in the start of his career, but after coming from work he used to do research about investments and used to meet people and eventually his hard-work paid off and he became a millionaire by investing in rental properties and some other third party collateral free loans as the taker really pay huge interest on the principal in those types of loans, so he used to teach me a lot about investing in my adolescent years.
86  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can he surpass YFI to reach $30000 per coin on: August 22, 2020, 06:53:43 PM
Anything is possible in the cryptocurrency market and that's what appeals to everyone. In my opinion it is very difficult for this coin to go up to 3000 $, 3000 $ is a very large number and very difficult for any coin to be able to achieve at this moment.
However if you have already invested in this coin you should have confidence in it.
From $600 to $30k is a 50x straight and is a very difficult thing to achieve even for bitcoin that is struggling at $12k. I don't think that even $3k is possible for it to reach as this coin is only a short term coin and after a few months it will be close to dead and after an year it will be delisted from the exchanges, so until then you can earn whatever you can by creating HYPE on forums and just prey that more users buy this coin, only then OP will be able to make good amount of profit from it, right now it has fallen to $400 and its just a single day fall of the price, after one month I think it will be below $100.
87  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Importance of Bitcoin during the Pandemic on: August 22, 2020, 06:01:41 PM
we know that bitcoin is an online currency.Covid 19 is undoubtedly  a pandemic for the world And here bitcoin  plays an importamt role of transaction,earning and be safe from covid 19.
Examples:
Many people lost their jobs because of this virus,most of the people are staying at home for safety so the economical condition is being down.But with bitcoin we can earn and fulfill our needs and able to make our economy higher.
Economy won't be higher by earning some pocket-money, you should have work that give you enough money to fulfill your needs and that of your family and also leaving some savings for rainy days. If you are having an online business then only you would have survived the lock-down while earning lots of money, other than that all other people would have suffered a great deal during lock-down to make the ends meet. For earning good and sustainable income, either you have to be a great influencer online or having a website gathering almost 100k views on monthly basis or either be a developer, other than that there isn't any way to earn sustainable income with cryptocurrencies.
88  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: building a crypto criminal database on: August 22, 2020, 03:51:09 PM
all we can try to block the exit of "dubious" bitcoins anywhere
Why would we want to do that? Why would we want to create two tiers of bitcoin, one "clean" and one "dubious"? Why would we want to undermine the fungibility of bitcoin?
Even if we want to create tiers of bitcoin, labeling the goodness or the badness of it is very pointless. As far as the small denomination is concern, you can't tell which is which. I got 0.001btc that I got from a hacker, I told him to send it to my personal wallet address which contains 1btc from my worked hard money, would it make sense that there is a 0.001btc that came from the hacker to call my entire owned bitcoin dubious? Bitcoins will be just bitcoins, that's it. The goodness and the badness relies to the users, that's what we should be wary of.



The analysts doesn't think that way, they will always paint your wallet red on their analysis tool since you have transacted with that hacker bitcoins, I guess there can be a way to save those coins from getting red paint, as the transactions are always generated from the input of the funds already deposited in your account, so you can send your 1 BTC minus the fees for that transaction to another wallet so that the transaction doesn't add the remaining input of the hacker's transaction, then your 1 BTC will be saved. Also, most of the exchanges will start using these analysis tools, which some are already using, there was a person on the forum who said that he washed his coins through a mixer and by chance the coins were mixed with those of the hacker and then he deposited his coins to an exchange and the exchange denied to deposit those coins to his wallet because those coins were tainted.

90  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What were your biggest plays of Uniswap DeFi market? 10x - 100x gains! on: August 22, 2020, 12:11:56 PM
Damn your return on Myx and Shrimp is massive. How do you usually decide which coin to buy on uniswap or when to buy them? I once decided to invest in NEXE but they ended exit scamming us.
His other returns are also quiet good actually, the thing with his investments was that he was constantly investing in these projects, a few made him loose money but the ones who made him money also used to give the money back that the OP lost in the busted coins. I wasn't that lucky in investing in this many projects and was only able to invest and make about 0.2ETH in profits trading DeFi tokens, usually the people who invest early in these DeFi projects used to get the returns like that of OP, others are just like us either they don't get their coins at the price that they paid or they aren't lucky enough to pick the winners.
91  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bounty or Airdrop kill project? on: August 20, 2020, 04:09:16 PM
bounty kill project? look at project that have bounty campaign which is managed by bounty detective,some of them already traded in market and now even bounty token not distributed yet its price collapse. price and trading volume decrease alot and almost be zero. its could be prove bounty campaign didnt kill the project, but it help alot make project be popular and known by crypto investors.
Yes, most of the bounties of bounty detective that are already listed on the exchange gets dumped even before the project ends and reduce to a 100th part when the participants get the bounty rewards, sometimes even before that. This clearly indicates that the bounty hunters aren't responsible for the dumping of the prices of tokens, but the culprit are the team members who get out of the project by selling their stakes in the project which they dump on the market on whatever price they get in return of their tokens, this is a total misconception that the bounty participants dumps their tokens on the market.
92  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is your favorite project these days? on: August 20, 2020, 02:46:13 PM
bitcoin may be the most important, second ethereum, but for this year it could be that DEFI and IDENA will be at the forefront and a long-term project for us to follow, I hope this year the return of quality and high-value projects to benefit. Grin
For sure, Idena is going to do wonders in the future, it is having a very good community support and also the developers are doing pretty great job to innovate and also just recently a new forum based on the Idena protocol was released by the team that also uses the proof of human system for registering the new users, so no more shill accounts, only legit users will be allowed on the forum.
Ethereum being the top priority of many cryptocurrency investors now because of the new 2.0 version coming to the network and a lot of hype is around it which will make many happy because the price is going to increase drastically once the update arrives.
My third choice will be monero as a lot of people are struggling with the privacy concerns while transacting on the blockchain, so they will need an alternative to hide their assets, so they will switch to monero for anonymously sending their funds from one place to another.

94  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can Crypto be more valuable than gold? on: August 16, 2020, 06:43:37 PM
I have thought that one key advantage crypto (bitcoin, litecoin, Dash, monero etc.) has over gold is that its supply level is fixed and transparent, but can this or features make crypto more valuable than gold?
Value isn't ever decided on the basis of fixed supply or unlimited supply, it is decided on the basis of supply and demand, if supply is high and demand is low then the price will fall and vice versa. So if you have a control over the supply then you can actually decide the prices and also control them, just like what Tether is doing right now.
Yes Crypto is definitely way more valuable than gold, gold is just an investment and you can only store gold and not do anything with it, but with Crypto you can do a lot more things than just storing it so, definitely Crypto is more valuable than gold.
95  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The success of IEO is Exchange on: August 16, 2020, 02:36:55 PM
The success of IEO depends not only on listing in Big exchange but also type of project, team performance etc. It is to confece that listing IEO on top exchanges like Binance, OkEx will put huge positive impact on token sale rather than listing on vindax, p2pb2b, hotbit etc. Such low quality exchanges listing IEO will put negative impact and lackage of investors. Ultimately ieo results will be  poor.
More important than an exchange for an IEO is the hype that it has created in the community, if there is a lot of hype around the project and even if it is being sold on a bad exchange then also the investors can earn tons of profit by selling the token as after a small amount of time the coin will most probably be picked by a big exchange like binance, OkEx etc. Also I don't deny the fact that actually exchanges are the part of a listing that makes a reputation of the token being listed, if exchange is good then token will definitely see a lot of investors.
96  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which are your top 5 coins for HODL? on: August 16, 2020, 01:45:29 PM
For me, I'll hold bitcoin, ETH and XRP because they're in the top of the market and I can get a higher profit while holding those coins.
You should also try holding more coins like the new DeFi tokens, they are gaining a lot of market cap recently and are doing like 10x pretty easily if you invest in a new DeFi token. I am holding Comp, Maker, Bzrx token and they have done really well in the past, I just had my timing right in these market and also as a main investment I am holding BTC, IOTA, ETH. I personally think IOTA is having a genuine future cuz it is having a decentralized system for internet of things applications which is truly amazing as the development team is thinking way forward than anyone is thinking right now.
97  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Despite Many Participants, You Can Still Get Huge Rewards In Bounty. on: August 16, 2020, 12:56:10 PM
Even the reward for the Article is also on the very low side, Articles and videos on Bounty Detective now, get as low as $20 and this is not just speculation but fact, the only way for hunters to earn good rewards again is if participation for each campaign is limited
I guess only option for the hunters is to do translations now, I heard the translators earn a lot of money when it comes to bounty reward hunting. Signature campaigns were a good choice for bounty hunters back in 2015-17 after that a lot more people started joining signature campaigns after which article bounty was a good choice whose era has also come to an end now and only possibility to earn good rewards in bounties is now to do translation jobs and hope that your work get selected by the manager for translation, then you can earn decent amount of money from the translation.
98  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: what new coins are promising? on: August 15, 2020, 04:59:49 PM
currently coins with the decentralized finance (DeFi) project are in hype, very promising coins with defi projects but you have to be careful with fake defi project coins, because many people make coins with the word Defi project for SCAMming people
Yes, I do agree with you, right now it is era if DeFi and people do have stated moving towards it to making their investment. Similarly as per the fake ICO's fake Defi project could come in the market and that's why we have to deeply research it before making any investment.
This always happens with every new trend, now is the trend of DeFi so a lot of fake and scammy defi projects are coming in the market, in 2017 there were a lot of fake ICO going on, after that a lot of IEO were also being conducted on new and somewhat scammy looking exchanges. In a free market there will always be people who are trying to outsmart others and are in it just for the sake of scamming people and there are also those kind of people who want to make honest money and really want to do good in the market in the long run. I am looking forward to HOMT which currently I am advertising in my signature space and is genuinely a unique project that I have come across in the past few months, also as you said DeFi tokens are in trend right now, so investing in any DeFi token can give you good returns.

Don't you think that investing in cryptoqurrency can make you rich overnight? it's not like you imagined. unless you invest in BTC or make short trades, you also need some skill before trading. for me not as easy as you expect.
Only noobs think that way, that they can outsmart the market in a single day and can make life changing profits in a matter of 24 hours. We should always invest in our knowledge first and then do other things with the spare money that is left with us. Also, if you try doing margin trading or maybe do flash loans combined with yield farming then you can actually make tons of silly money that everyone can make with some basic knowledge, right now most of the people are doing yield farming which is quiet risky if you don't have a basic knowledge and a good mentor to teach you.
100  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Safest cryptocurrency wallets on: August 15, 2020, 03:14:43 PM
All online wallets in my opinion are safe, I have also used an online wallet for a long time and have never experienced any problems, a secure wallet all depends on you in managing it and maintaining a password or private key.
Do you know that not all online wallet are decentralized, sometimes centralized like xapo, etc which we must register using email. This also an online wallet but not secure. So I think all wallets which we keep the private key are safe, not all online wallets
So, electrum should do the job for bitcoin wallet and for Ethereum we can use the official one or maybe the MEW wallet can do the job. MEW is a better choice according to me as you don't have to download the blockchain for using the wallet whereas in the official wallet you have to download the entire blockchain at the time of first use, in later uses you just have to synchronize the blockchain to transact. But, online wallets should be the choice for those who can't have a backup of their software wallet as if you loose your wallet file then everything is over and you can't recover the address in which your funds were present.
