One more — and very important for risk-management  This is, without doubt, the most difficult to see. Knowing that to recover a 50% loss I would need my assets to rise 100% just for the breaking even is too difficult to believe and sad. Getting the assets out of the exchanges is the right and safest. But when there are monstrous falls we have to accept almost irrecoverable losses. |

There is no possibility of the bearish market continuing any longer. What can happen is that many people may give up waiting and selling, this would push the price to lower levels than those before the split. I find this very unlikely, but it is a possibility. And to that, I would call The Great Bitcoin Crisis.
Continuing in this price range of 6k is impossible in my concept. Most would look for other opportunities with a higher ROI.
Now, what I really believe is that we are about to see the real potential of all the infrastructure being created in the last few months. Several large companies and traditional financial market funds already have at least one person focused exclusively on cryptocurrencies. Many have entire departments. Companies offering portfolios, custody services, exchanges. They are receiving millions of dollars for their structures. In my country, an exchange that belongs to the second largest bank in the country and one of the 20 largest in the world has just been launched.
Traditional media such as Bloomberg, WST, New York Times, CNN have sections unique to cryptocurrencies. Every day university courses are launched at the world's leading universities.
And all this is happening without anyone having the least idea of the correct price of Bitcoin. And how it should be calculated. It is no absurd to imagine that it can reach more than 1 million in 2 years.

Wall Observer is a forum on just one topic. It is impressive the amount of merit that is distributed in it, but perfectly understandable. I'm sure that in addition to those who write regularly on there, thousands of others use it as an important source of news and memes in real-time. There are other similar topics on other subjects, mining and alts, but none of them comes close to the importance and quality of the posts on WO.

1. Tell me a little about you, how you can help bring in new users to the DApp and spread awareness etc
I always tend to be one of the first to adopt new technologies among those I know. I already use internet for a long time and I spend a lot of time reading and participating in forums and communities. I have played several online games where participating in these communities was essential.
2. Which platforms do you imagine we might target?
Reddit, Facebook. I would focus primarily on gaming communities that have many hours of gameplay. Many games are ephemeral phenomena where thousands play for only a month.
But there are games that win loyal players for long periods. And this is done by the community that is built out of the game. Specific forums for these games are built and visited daily.
3. Your native language(s)
Portuguese
4. Do you have an understanding of EOS DApps?
I understand more of the dApps that were built for ETH. I have never used any dApp in EOS.
5. How many hours of marketing per week will you achieve for the $100 weekly payment?
20 hours per week
6. What is your Telegram username?

Negative Trust is something very damaging if you plan to offer some service on the forum. But I think the biggest damage is the social one. I think the feeling must be like a person walking down the street with his pants very dirty, everyone will point fingers, say bad things etc.
And you will have to explain, often to people you've never seen, the reason that those pants are still dirty. Every time, every day.
The trust system is broken. I understand the attempt to decentralize and leave this responsibility to users. But it is a system without weights, very unfair. The accuser could present evidence and reasons when making the decision to send trust to someone else. But this is not mandatory. That is, the accuser is the judge and no one can reverse the decision. It is not a form of fairness. There is no judgment where an independent third party makes the decision after hearing both parties. But I do not know which system could be better. Since the forum does not want to be directly responsible for the decisions of each user.
Now, in your specific case, I understand what @hilariousetc did. I had not read about it before. He made this decision to alert other users. And it looks like your intention was to sell services on the forum that depended on trust. Maybe you could have worked to avoid the social weight of negative trust. But it does not seem to me that starting to work with loans would be the most rational route to take with a negative trust. And it turned out to be a bad deal seeing the losses you have taken.
Maybe stepping away from the forum for a while might help reverse this negative trust in the future. So I hope, because you contribute a lot to the forum and could eventually help your community to participate and know more about Bitcoin. And answering your question: I do not believe you're a scamer, but if I were to introduce you to a friend to do business, I would also feel compelled to show him the topic from @xtraelv before he could make a decision.

BloombergGoldman Wades Deeper in Crypto, Betting on BitGo With Billionaire Mike Novogratz Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and a venture founded by one of its former partners, billionaire Mike Novogratz, are investing in cryptocurrency custodian BitGo Holdings Inc., as the bank’s deep-pocketed clients keep asking about secure ways to hold those assets. Combined, Goldman Sachs and Novogratz’s Galaxy Digital Ventures contributed about $15 million to BitGo’s Series B fundraising, which brought in a total of $57.5 million, the startup said Thursday. The endorsement from two firms with strong Wall Street roots may help BitGo attract more institutions and wealthy investors as customers. U.S. regulators require large money managers to entrust client assets to a so-called qualified custodian -- often industry pillars such as State Street Corp. and Bank of New York Mellon Corp. But the initial unwillingness of many traditional firms to hold digital currencies, which are notoriously vulnerable to hackers, has kept a lot of major investors out of the market. That’s given startups such as BitGo a chance to pursue their business. “If you were investing in any other asset class, you’re probably not worried about the asset just disappearing -- but this one, people still have that fear,” Mike Belshe, BitGo’s co-founder and chief executive officer, said in an interview. For cryptocurrencies to reach their full potential, “we’ve got to conquer that.” The Palo Alto-based company, founded in 2013, offers digital wallets that require multiple signatures for transactions, as well as offline vaults for storing Bitcoin and rival currencies. In January, it agreed to acquire custodian Kingdom Trust. But after the deal fell apart, BitGo said it would build out its own qualified custody business, BitGo Trust Co. BitGo has gathered a total of about $70 million in fundraising rounds. The company says it provides services for more than 75 coins and tokens, and that it holds more than $2 billion in assets. Bitcoin Trading Goldman’s investment could help the bank develop crypto services of its own. The securities firm was among the first on Wall Street to clear Bitcoin futures introduced late last year. And earlier this year, it named a head of digital-asset markets as it explored ways to help clients interested in investing in crypto. In August, people with knowledge of the matter said Goldman Sachs was considering a plan to offer custody for crypto funds. But it had yet to set up a full-fledged desk to trade the currencies. Fidelity Investments said on Oct. 15 that it will offer security and storage services, trade execution and customer service for digital assets. “We believe that a custody offering is a logical precursor to digital asset market making,” Goldman spokesman Michael DuVally said. The bank made the BitGo investment through its principal strategic investments group, where executives include Rana Yared, a managing director involved in developing Goldman’s crypto plans. A former macro trader, Novogratz has become one of Wall Street’s most prominent champions of Bitcoin and other digital assets. He’s drawn on a resume that includes stints at Goldman Sachs and Fortress Investment Group while building a publicly traded merchant bank for the crypto community and advocating for the technology’s widespread adoption. Digital currency enthusiasts have been hoping that institutional-grade storage will lure more investors into the market. But significant roadblocks remain. Read more: Regulated crypto custody is (almost) here. It’s a game changer Regulatory uncertainty is one, as traditional firms wait for financial watchdogs to clarify rules. And many investors may just be turned off by this year’s rout in crypto prices. Bitcoin has lost 65 percent of its value since peaking at almost $20,000 in late December.
More money, lots of money, being invested in companies that offer infrastructure and services related to cryptocurrencies. And the market continues in this stability, with some bumps up and down. It is becoming increasingly clear that the next Bull run will occur and this time will reach even more surprising levels as we will have services to keep up with the new demand.

not before ADA : )
ADA will be added but it will take alot of time and engineering since ADA is on it's own chain, I would estimate that between the 5 coins coinbase said it would list (ZRX, BAT, XLM ZEC and ADA) that ADA would be last among them. It will probably go like this 1.ZRX 2.BAT 3.Zcash 4/5. XLM or ADA The team (IOHK) has been working on this integration since Ethereum classic was listed on the coinbase. They work for both. Although it actually looks much more practical and quick to list BAT, as it is an ERC-20 token, there are other issues involved related to volume and importance to the market. I think XML, ADA and Zcash will be listed the same week sometime in November. |

https://github.com/BitMEXResearch/bitcoinBitMEX Research is announcing a new client to compete with Bitcoin Core, Bitcoin BitMEX Research. Since it is a software fork of Bitcoin Core, it carries none of the risks of not being bug for bug compatible, like Satoshi was concerned about. The BitMEX Research client also doesn’t change Bitcoin’s consensus rules, so the concerns about contentious chainsplits do not apply. Therefore, if the Bitcoin Core repository gets hijacked or deleted, the codebase can still improve using the Bitcoin BitMEX Research client or any other set of clients.
The truth is, as hard as it is to appreciate, end users are ultimately in charge of Bitcoin.https://blog.bitmex.com/
Similar Discussion = why is core development and hosting centralized?Furthermore, Bitcoin Core uses a deterministic build process. This means that anyone can build the same code again using that build process and get exactly the same binaries. Before releases are officially announced and published, multiple people perform these deterministic builds and the hashes of their results are checked to make sure that everyone has built the same binary. These hashes, and GPG signatures over the hashes, are all available here: https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gitian.sigs. If you don't trust the uploaded binaries, you can check it's hashes against those from the other deterministic builders and the GPG signatures of people who did the deterministic build. Lastly, you can do the build yourself and check that what you built matches what was published. To play devil's advocate, couldn't we question Bitcoin's own state in this regard? Isn't the hashing power controlled by the three largest pools (cumulatively over 50%)? This needs to be substantiated, but I am suspicious of it. That would also describe a apparent 'oligarchy', just as for those others.
Some people continue to confuse what decentralized means. Having a great influence does not mean controlling.

A little bit serious, some Bitcointalkers think meta is their portfolio  And this pushes away the most important topics that discuss the functioning of the forum. I was looking for a topic where it was possible to report users who only post spam, but I gave up before finding. There is a bunch of topics about "how I got the merits"; how can you get merit, merit statistics, how to temper your food with merits etc. Also, this topic left me worried. I read Big Dick instead of Dig Bicks. I need an eye doctor. |

First, you set your goals. Are you expecting to make Day trade or long-term investments? Will use charting tools to make long and short, a more fundamentalist analyze? If your idea is to buy in the long term using fundamentalist instruments and avoid being identified, the idea is to use a decentralized platform. It offers more security, privacy and low rates. But if you want to do day trade, do not worry about sending your documents, and you accept others to take care of the security of your assets. You can use a centralized platform. In both cases, you should search for the volume traded on the exchange. This is very important since, unlike stock exchanges, trading occurs only on the platform. So, on a platform without volume you will always pay a higher value than the market. Another point to note is the quantity and qualities of the assets that are traded. You should note that all the projects you want to invest are available on the platform. And pay attention to the negotiated pairs. The more pairs traded using USD, the better. It is also important to research the company. Where it is located, who owns it and the legal security offered by the host country. If there is a problem, it is important that you can appeal to justice. Look for evidence of cold wallets. This helps with security. Searching for complaints is critical. On reddit and here in the forum there will always be someone complaining about some service provided. Escape from those that continue with recurring problems. For trading using leveraged, I would recommend www.bitmex.com/register/4Yl00L . If you want an exchange centralized for altcoin, I would recommend Binance. And if you're looking for a bigger guarantee and more options, without having to send documents, I'd recommend ethermium.com |

Nope! Bitcoin has miners, has nodes, has the people that decide to use and has developers. They do not belong to the same company or foundation. It is not a small group made up of 12, 21 people. They are different people with different thoughts and goals. You are confusing a possibility of attack or double spending by controlling the hash power with governance. Governance is something completely different from dominating mining. At least in Bitcoin. |

He said he attacked bitcoin private, but how do we certainly know that he was the hacker?
Also, what are his motives for announcing that he would attack a cryptocoin? Is he a member of the development team of a competing project?
This will be a new kind of FUD that will be used more as already mentioned.
Nothing new here, BCX did it years ago. https://weeklyglobalresearch.wordpress.com/2016/07/02/monero/Monday 29th September 2014
Attack on CryptoNote Coins Threatened. Deadline Passes with No Attack Occuring
In a thread BCX started on September 17 he stated that he had no need or desire to attack Monero, but in the same breath claimed that he had found several specific exploits in CryptoNote (and thus Monero), one of which was a “coin killer”, and that he had the resources and ability to execute the attack at any time. Check the date.  https://pastebin.com/prBGYR37. Unfortunately, he has deleted most of his answers. And yes, it could be possible just FUD or dump and dump. But to be honest, cryptocurrencies need those kinds of actions. The better projects will survive, the worst will die. |

I invented a very good tactic for myself, I sold all my Monero and bought NEO and ETH for these funds. It seems to me that these coins will bring me much more profit than I would keep my money in Monero, although the coin is very serious and strong.
I do not see any logic in your trading. Monero has a very distinct character from almost any other project, your anonymity is guaranteed. It is not an extra function, it is not an add-on. It is part of the essence of the project. This distinguishes Monero from 99% of the other assets and for that reason, it can be added in any portfolio. NEO and ETH are competing projects. But NEO has an additional problem, is centralized, and the token that funds the negotiations is separate. That is, you buy shares of a project that has little power of influence and with little utility. |

cryptocompare cryptoasset taxonomy-report 2018.Fantastic and quite complete report about cryptocurrencies. More than 55% of the projects were considered centralized. Added to the semi-decentralized, projects that do not offer something that is essential to Bitcoin, decentralization, its reach 84%. Another interesting fact is the concentration of the largest portfolios in relation to the total. TRX, EOS and Veri are incredibly concentrated in this regard. They could easily be considered oligarchies if they were a country.

Just do it.
Wiki is a blank paper where people contribute directly to the project. It does not take much discussion before if you already have the main feature needed, which is hosting.
I believe that putting the main indicators in a well-structured and familiar way would be very useful. But there are already several websites on this. So what would really be needed would be adaptations to cryptocurrencies, which have very unusual characteristics like pump and dumps, trading schedules etc.

I think the big change of 2018 is that the market is more professional. It ceased to be dominated by dreamers and began to be composed of a percentage, although still shy, of institutions, large companies and VCs.
We have Fidelity and other financial industry giants creating tools and services. It's not just a matter of risky gambling and short-term investments. A company to create a new service needs planning and fulfilling a medium- and long-term potential.
This means that Cryptocurrencies are already part of the global market. You no longer can ignore or imagine that the value will reach zero.
The next step will be like cance. It will reproduce at an astonishing rate using its own cells in the global financial markets. And no one else will be able to stop.
Just as the internet has gradually broken down with all other media, telephone, radio, tv, newspapers, fax etc; Cryptocurrencies will forever change our lives.
