This is encouraging and believe there are so many other people out there who believe in Bitcoin and the whole dream of Satoshi Nakamoto.
Bitcoin changed my life, eased me up with the work pressure and this is one thing that will always make me back bitcoin in Every way possible.

I don't usually listen to FUDsters and Naysayers because on there is a bull run, you will start seeing threads like "i regret not buying when the price was low", "i was wrong about BTC" etc

The point is never let what people say change your perspective on something thatt you believe in

Would be great if you posted more information about the project or website links to the project. So many scams and malware lately and if you wanna get testers, you ought to be transparent.

Feel so  sorry for OP. A few days ago, i made an article of how Not all crypto apps in App stores are safe. I didn't give much on other wallets and apps in Github but reading through your story, this is even more serious than phishing attempts through fake apps. Am going to update my thread using this experience (i hope it's okay) with major focus on the app in question so that new users can know how grave this matter can be.
I wish you all the best in an attempt to try and net that/those culprit(s)

The websites i have commonly used are:

• Bitcointalk
• Reddit:Subscribe to crypto related subforums subreddits
• Coindesk
• Cointelegraph
• NewsBTC
• Blockonomi
• CCN
• Bitcoin.com
• Bitcoin Magazine

Some of sites have email subscription open where you can get daily or weekly email alerts about what's happening in crypto world while others like cointelegraph offer an option to subscribe to their telegram Channels for instant updates

Just simple math
For example the for the BTC you bought at 4000, you would have to sell it when BTC's price is just slightly above $7400 [4000+(4000x0.85)] in order to cater for the trading fee too.

EDIT

The calculation format is for just different portions.. TryNinja has a better answer for the amount you would sell all the BTC at in order to realize 85% profit.


Depends on how patient you are willing to be,  next serious bull run could even happen after 2-3 years
In my case if I couldn't wait for that long, I would just sell in potions according to how I bought the BTCs for example the BTC I bought at 4000, I would sell off at 4500 or 5000 while keeping watch of the price in order to buy or sell off another portion.

But if you are looking to HODL, just don't stress yourself with daily prices. Store them a hardware wallet and wait for a major bullish trend

Other Bitcoin Webwallets are
➖ Coin Space
➖ BTC.com

quote from Part of Email sent by Forum


I think One has to be active on the forum in order to receive more of the notifications, Every time you receive a notification and you read it, chances of receiving another email notifications are high

What you can do

• Use trusted third-party email desktop apps to receive instant email updates if you are using a computer for example for my Windows computer i use Easy Mail For GMail and The default Mail App for Windows 10
• Always open notifications as soon as you receive them

So you expect only an upward trend?
That's very unhealthy if it's only upward. It makes bitcoin look like some sort of pyramid or ponzi scheme, Upward and downward trends are normal IMO.
Investors will always getting in so long as cryptos are profitable. Behind those small up and down movements you see, people are making profits

Service Announcement board is place for you. You will get far more audience there who are willing to be your service providers for a fee than you will get from here. Give it a try and thank me later

Great experience here, I hope to use it as a source of motivation through this bear market until the next bull run. I only started to get serious interest in Bitcoin and Ethereum earlier last year.. Made even so profits though i didn't sell all during the December madness later that year.

Am still HODLING some other coins from last year and hope to wait till the next crypto madness.

When BTC started breaking making headlines last year even on mainstream media, so many new people streamed in and definitely bought. If you look at eh price history of bitcoin since 2013 https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/historical-data/?start=20130428&end=20181209 you will realise that there was a sporadic price increase in the second half of last year mainly because of;
- Media attention( even my not so technical friends at-least had to ask me what bitcoin was and how they could buy it because they heard it from media)
- Speculation
which all in turn led to a higher demand for BTC

So definitely the drop in price implies that there has been a loss in interest for bitcoin from most "new buyers" who rushed in to buy in 2017 hence low demand compared to when the price was 19K.
I don't think most of them are still holding, being inexperienced in crypto trading some probably panic sold thinking that it's a bubble, Others who got sold it out for ICOs thinking that they would be the next bitcoin

After you have finished sending the required BTC(while considering the transaction fee) you will have to revisit the link once the transaction gets at-least one confirmation and then wear your copper member's rank as shown below

There is no accurate technical analysis in cryptos my friend. Anything can happen to the BTC price in the next 24 hours. It's purely based on hope, manipulation and speculation.
Luckily the BTC price is now volatile once again. Just notice the sudden deeps, Where the price seems to have settled up a bit is where you make an entry and set your sell target( not so high of course) To me 2-5% gains is enough in this bearish market because if you try to be greedy, You will loose everything.
Also never forget to set a stop-loss in case the price doesn't rise to your expectation.

I think the best boards to post this kind of information are the Scam Accusations Board and the Investigations ChildBoard ( incase you are not yet sure whether it's scam or don't have enough evidence to pin the culprit)
There you can call upon the bounty manager or manager of the project to head over the thread and answer any accusations made against their project. Failure to do so would mean that it's scam and get the culprits accounts red tagged.

Have seen so many DAPPS in the Ethereum and EOS platforms... This could mean that its easier or cheaper to build dapps on those platforms compared to NEO or MOAC
However we have more Dapp platforms like,

➖Tronix
➖ NEM
➖ QTUM
➖ Cardano
➖ Vechain
➖ Ontology
➖ Zilliqa
➖ Lisk
➖ ICON

Tried to pick ones that have a market cap of atleast over $100M
So try to check them and see... Building a Dapp on any of them could also need a specific type of skill or knowledge.

Yes, they were good times but most times people always look at only the good times . They always think that there will only be good times without any bad times, they are totally wrong and these are the people who end up being very disappointed incase anything does not go their way because they are not prepared to see the negative side.
Some of them end up even spreading FUD and becoming trolls - More like publicly abusing your ex-wife that she's ugly yet you once nurtured and married her 

Agreed, pretty hard to predict the outcomes of the market in the next 24 hours but from where i am one thing i noticed is that there is always a deep towards the weekends and a slight rise on Monday or Tuesdays (has happened in most cases) so i usually  buy the deep on weekends and exit latest on Wednesdays before the next drop... that's what i have been doing lately.

If this happened even today, i would also leave the forum. It would be totally demoralizing for newbies looking to rank up. This kind of attitude towards new members must stop. With this kind of restrictions, this forum will just loose it it no time and new users will just migrate to other forums with "softer" rules.
You don't want to see to a lengendary Bitcointalk forum loose it's number one spot to a new rival forum

More reason for genuine new users to go to other forums. what will stop the genuine devs from going to other forums to post their projects due to the stringent measures on bitcointalk?
Am pretty certain that the altcoin section brings in almost half of the users in here, so imagine there are little or no more ANNS of projects in the Altcoin boards due to your strict rules but instead there are quite a number of them in other crypto forums... i guess you know what will happen next.

You may not see it short term, but long term, it has an effect.

Google play store is a haven of both Malicious and authentic apps, as I talked about in this post, Not all crypto apps in App stores are safe
You will realise that just downloading from Google play or appstore isn't enough. You have to use the official link from the official website of the coin/token which could just be a direct download or probably link you to an app store to their official app.

Also you have to be very vigilant, look at the number of downloads, number of reviews, positive and negative, time and pattern of reviews(very important in determining fake reviews)
