1. When and why did you become interested in cryptocurrencies?
My journey in cryptocurrency began in 2018 during my final year in school. I witnessed the feasibility of the cliché "Cryptocurrency can make you rich" when cryptocurrency changed the fortunes of my then lodge-mate. This inspired me greatly, although i haven't been as fortunate as he was, i believe its a gradual process and once i persist, i will certainly get there.
2. When and why did you buy your first bitcoin?
I purchased my first Bitcoin in the same year 2018, when i used the Luno wallet app to purchase a sum after i learnt about the bullish run that had just occurred in late 2017
3. How didou get on the forum?
Same friend whom i watched as cryptocurrency changed his fortunes introduced me to the Bitcointalk forum
4.1. What prevents mass adoption of cryptocurrencies? I think every innovation requires a little bit of time to attain mass adoption. I believe currently, Bitcoin may be restrained from reaching that stage cause of factors such as accesibilty; some people perhaps think who needs Bitcoin when fiat currency perfoms their transactions?. Other factors might be fear of insecurilty or getting their funds exposed to hackers and scammers.
4.2. How do you think mass advertising of gambling projects has a positive effect on the development of the forum or harms the community?
I for one is not against gambling project, and i dont think it poses any form of harm to the community
4.3. How do you consider whether 2-3 years of experience in cryptocurrency is enough to successfully invest or does an investor need to receive special education?
I think experience plays a crucial role for investors to succeed. However it doesn't end there; you need patience, persistence, trial and error; and a stroke of luck. However, investors would be doing themselves a lot good to receive formal training as this could save them from taking uncalculated risks.
5. What do you think of the current Merit system and signature campaigns? Do they harm the forum? Spamming does more harm to the forum and i believe the current merit system and signature campaign curbs spamming. Rewarding valid opinions too is encouraging as this will encourage positive posting.
6. The most useful forum topic? Most helpful users?
Plenty insightful topics exist on the forum, and depending on what users want, they can always find the suitable topics to join. For the most helpful users, i can't think of any right now.
7. 3 things you would implement on the forum?
If i had the might, i would moderate altcoin sections better and implement more ways to check the validity of bounties that make the bounty section and more approaches to curb spamming
8. Do you trade on exchanges or invest in projects?
I do more of arbitrage trading
9. Tell a story about your big profit or big loss?
I had my biggest profit with AEN token which i sold making huge profits. However the next day it looked more like a loss as it appreciated five times more than the price the previous day
10. What do you think about the DEFI ecosystem?
i'm a fan of the DeFi movement, decentralization and open-source minimizes overall costs and improves security
11. Is your anonymity a vital necessity or precaution?
I would tag it a precaution to protect ones identity
12. The last cryptocurrency book you read?
I have never read a cryptocurrency book, however i read lots of articles online to inform myself and stay abreast on recent developments
13. Advise 3 cryptocurrencies/tokens for investment in the next 1-2 years?
Bitcoin for me is the best to invest in. However, you should make your research, beware of the risk involved in investing and follow your instincts
14. How much will Bitcoin cost at the end of 2020? It is hard to predict, but judging from the recent bull run, i think it will at least equal the all time high of $20,000 before the year ends
15. I am an ardent bounty hunter and article writing mainly is my flair
