现在又快过年了，熊了快一年了，很多人都认为很快熬到牛市了，没想到大佬们吸不到韭菜的血，又来玩分叉了，BCH分成BCHsv和BCHabc,矿业套路太深，区块链套路更深，ICO套路更深，玩到大家都割肉，熊市之下大佬要逃也不容易。
现在感觉BTC这些POW币都被矿佬玩弄在股掌之间，持币人没有一点权利，这真是一个定时炸弹，感觉只有pow+pos才是未来区块链发展最公平的，单独POW一家独大实在是不是个好的选择。矿佬玩的币一年到头到处分叉。越来越让人厌恶，真是区块链的一个毒瘤

目前在墙外，只有砸锅，砸得很厉害；才能得到郭媒体关注。
CCP超发货币抢劫中国人民的财富，那么美国QE,就不抢劫财富了吗？
郭文贵，要是苟且偷生，只会在恐惧中等待灭顶之灾，他的爆料，无所谓正义。只是狗咬狗罢了。
美国也要修改宪法了，改成在美国出生的人可以不算做美国人。难道 “美帝”真的不是戏言而是逐渐变成现实？

Need someone to change me 0.097btc to eth. Not more than 5% fee. Forum escrow accepted.

From my own experience I can tell from all the airdrops that I know the top projects were only: Vite, Ontlogy, Dfinity. All others were shitcoins

Hello, i'm new here and i would like to understand what is Initial Coin Offering.
Why does it open and closes ? And what is it actually ?

Thanks a lot if someone can help me. 

In this bearish market, it’s difficult to make profits without thorough research
And almost every portfolio is negative

All I can tell is don’t dump out of fear
Survivor this period and join in packing the dips

Be greedy when others are fearful

The sowing season may not be a friendly and palatable season but every wise farmer knows it is the best season of opportunity to get prepared for the looming harvest.The present dip in crypto market is a fertile ground of opportunity for investors to lay hold on as many coins as possible at cheaper prices to store up for the bumper harvest that is imminent in the crypto market.This market dip is a blessing in disguise for me because it affords me the opportunity to buy coins which were before beyond my financial capacity. We must be determined not be distracted by the shout in the crypto market as regards the dip but rather focus on the great profit  we will get from the market .I will not quit investing because I don't want to stop harvesting. If we focus on the shout of the dip in market, we won't want to invest but if our focus is on the profit output from the market, then we will keep investing.

i think he is right, because this deep market is an opportunities for us to collect the best crypto in the cheap price

what do you think guys 

It has been a long Bear year.
Bitcoin went down by $1000 in a matter of minutes 2 days ago.
Ethereum is dying.
What is going on?

I invested and joined as bounty hunter in many ICO which has good concept, experienced team members and also good hype but after listing price drops very much. Some of project also not recovering since long time. Any comment.

Cryptocurrencies have been around for a while now.we've the early adopters and late adopters.  Heard a lot of postive and also no to forget negative experience from people. Take a flash back to when you decided to get involved in the crypto world and judging by what you have achieved at this point in time.

Do you regret your decision to get involved in the crypto world or you wished you had joined earlier?

Which are the best competitors to Ethereum, and why do you think so?

(I know on top of my head that Cardano and IOTA try to challenge Ethereum,
although they still haven't proved much from my understanding?)

I try to keep track of new coins every day. I think there is always the opportunity to earn on young coins or get them for free at the beginning. I don't want to miss the latest news.
I follow the information in some sources. It's not always convenient. I can miss something important.
What sources do you use? Where are you interested in new coins?
Is there a site where all the latest news and reviews of coins together?

I tried to buy some bitcoins from a popular/trusted website

but the website system released this message : failed to charge the card

the website support told me that they did not take any payments and their explanation

Visa is a middle man , it takes the payments and check some conditions
if the conditions as expected , it will send the payments for them
if not , it return the payments for me in a few days

2 days passed and I did not take back my money

最近Node.js的npm包被暴出被黑客修改，导致一些基于node.js的钱包自动发送钱包的密钥到特定的服务器。

已知的钱包有(bitpay, copay)。如果在使用这类钱包的尽快转移自己的财产。以免损失进一步扩大。

切记要使用官方的钱包，不要使用第三方的钱包。

前阵子听到论坛里有人说自己的比特币丢了，可能跟使用了第三方钱包有关。

在这里希望大家注意钱包安全问题。

在最近这几个月币圈的行情越来越凉了，但是我发现了一个奇怪的现象，越来越多的人头群多了起来，这些群总是打着什么糖果，空投，百倍币之类的名义，我抱着试一试的心态加入了几个。
一进去之后群里面所发的内容几乎都是我从未听说过的币种，而且每天都有大量的人签到。
而且这些群的人数通常很夸张，每个群都是2000人的大群，还都能发展到3-5个以上，动辄万人规模，相比之下，我之前在的一些知名加密群也不过区区几百-1000人。
每个群都是人声鼎沸的，各种晒盈利的，晒K线的，一派其乐融融谈笑风生的气象，仿佛熊市不存在一样。  
这样的热闹情景让我甚至怀疑我之前玩的是不是假币，看到的是不是假行情。
我分析了一下这些群都有一些共同的特点：
1，都有各式各样的类似传销一样的推广模式，有的是推广链接，有的是推广账号，有的是推广手机号，有的是推广QQ号或是微信号， 你只要推广别人注册就有积分或是他们的币。
2，大多数的这些币甚至连个钱包都没有，偶尔有几个ERC20规格的，更常见的是在他们的网站上有积分，或是QQ机器人会记录你的积分。
3，通常不能提现，根本也无法提现，也无法给别人。
4，一旦任何人提出疑问，或是有反对意见，分分钟就把你踢出群了。
5，通常都有一些不知名的小交易所支持他们的币，那些交易所很多都是高度山寨我们平时用的交易所界面。

我本以为这些群根本没人会鸟他们，没有想到竟然比很多正规加密货币的群还要热闹，那些垃圾交易所是我们炒币的人根本不会去碰的，但是也被吹成世界知名的交易所了。
除了大妈，我认为我们根本不会去这种地方的。但是事实证明我错了，我在这些群里面看到了很多似乎不是大妈的年轻人，因为从他们说话的语气和发的表情包来判断，大多数都是同龄人，不太可能是大妈。
这些群为什么这么有市场？因为这些群总是在发放福利，虽然是积分，但是却能吸引那些爱贪小便宜的人，并且无需任何翻墙，对于小白来说，其实翻墙都是困难的。
所以这些群才在会在国内大有市场，我有时都会为这些人感到悲哀，无知而贪婪，打着加密货币，区块链的名义骗那些对加密一知半解的人。
这么看，其实能经常到这个论坛来的人相比较之下都是对加密有一定了解的人了。看看那些什么EOS群，比原链群，NEO群，真的觉得很可笑。
再看看那些XXX币，XXX链的群，我们应该值得庆幸了，虽然我们也正在承受着熊市的损失，但是至少我们是能够看得更清楚，看得更远的。
其实论坛这里整体素质还是很高的，大家都很有主见，至少那些垃圾币基本在这里不会有人信吧，这就已经比其他更多的社区强很多很多了。

Funny but from the first day i received my very first merit I got a particular feeling, i can't actually explain how I felt but excitement, joy and some sense of accomplishments was involved. After that day, as I don't get merited daily I unconsciously check every post that got merited immediately I notice it. Don't know if this habit of mine is normal or I need help .
I know the regular merit receivers won't experience this so I'm asking those who don't receive it daily whether they unconsciously or consciously check merited post like I do?

A blockchain smart city is set to be built in Nevada.

“The planned city will encompass, among other projects, a highly-secured, high-tech park that joins blockchain technology with artificial intelligence (AI), 3D printing and nanotechnology; residential units that will provide a new living environment to thousands; and various financial, business and retail concepts that will take advantage of emerging technologies.”

Could this be our future Utopia?
