Is it a joke? How cryptocurrencies can be a safe??? Crytomarket is too volatile and almost unpredictable! And safe investments require stability.You can quckly earn money on crypto, you can be anonymous using crypto, but you can not be in safety investing in crypto!

The real question is whether you think bitcoin will stay this low forever ... if not then it's an opportunity to invest in ...

It seems that there aren't real masters of the airdrop game ... or they just don't want to share the activities how to be a successful airdrop farmer ...

Will there be an infinite amount of blockchains used or will data be stored on an filtered amount of blockchains?

- Do you just hold? Or you wait for the value of your assets to reach your target and cash out?

I joined around 100-150 airdrops this year (without selection), got almost 50 tokens to my balance. Most of them doesn't even have a value (yet?). A few of them got listed on exchanges, these ones are down around 90% in value, worth a few bucks only. My initial strategy was to join as much as possible and hold them for long, who knows maybe there is a hidden gem amongst them.

- How do you track?

On etherscan.io after a registration you can add ETH addresses to your watchlist, this way you will get email notifications when there has been a transaction to/from your account.

Yeah your approach makes sense ... just hoard as much as possible and hope when the market across the board will go up and cash some ...

thanks for the tip on etherscan.io ...

There are sites like airdropalert.com which post new airdrops as soon as they are available.
But be careful, its time consumimg and projects often just dont pay. I quit taking part in airdrops a few month ago, its just not worth the effort.

That's exactly how I feel about airdrops to... I tried claiming a couple of them a while ago to see what all the fuss was about, but most of those tokens were completely worthless. In the end, I calculated I made less than $2/hour claiming those airdrops...

Off course it's possible I didn't know how to distinguish promising air drops, so I might have spend a lot of time claiming airdrops that would have looked like rubbish for an experienced aidrop-claimer, but still, I think you can better get an IRL job and buy crypto with your income instead of claiming airdrops... Just my opinion tough

I totally understand what you are saying, but somehow I do believe there has to be someone or a group of ppl who understand the airdrop game and have a routine that is rewarding. Every kind of game has people who master it. I want to know how to play the game like a pro (or at least understand how to play the game with the least amount of waste time/resources), because like your story is very recognizable.

Airdrops happen when via a hard fork attempt. (Anyone who claims different is wrong, the bounty campaigns love to confuse the term!)

The best way to find an airdrop is the following:

(1) Cruise the news sites to identify which hard fork attempts may be scheduled (All 2018 Hard Fork Attempts)
(2) Buy the cryptocurrency that will be the target of the hard fork attmept
(3) Hold this cryptocurrency through the hard fork date
(4) Claim new ICO currency that was granted via the airdrop

Good luck!

Thank you this is something I can work with. Thank you for the source as well. How big do you invest when you buy the ICO?

i have join many airdrop in a month past
but till now dint receive any coin/token
i dont believe in airdrop
u can try bounty campaign

I guess you have to be in luck too, but I know a close friend who actually did this and gathered some that added up to a value of around $500, he actually stopped doing it, because of busy work schedule, so I am wondering if other people who do it consistently have a better worked out approach.

What is the roadmap to start your crypto journey by hoarding airdrops?
I have heard and read from others, who just hoard whatever they can get, but there is not an actual step by step guide how to do it.
What to do after the hoarding?

- What are the sources you monitor for the airdrops? (facebook groups / telegram / other sources)
- Do you just hold? Or you wait for the value of your assets to reach your target and cash out?
- How do you track?
- any other steps to add?

very curious what experienced/pro airdrop crypto traders actually do ... thanks

There is an ICO head office where you can make complaints
I thought this was legit but you are talking with a different meaning for ICO. As for DooMAD, you're giving a wrong service to OP.

ICO's are decentralized and there's no head office or governing agency that is regulating this if someone has a complain and this is why everyone must be careful of investing on it.

That's right ... but i have seen that there are ICO escrow companies. I havent looked into how extensive they are, but the idea seems legit. If they are credible enough a company like that, can be your seal of quality assurance.
I don't know much about ICO escrow companies. The idea seems legit? you just heard it and share it here but you're not sure if its legit or not.

There are real escrow companies (bank,etc.) but about that idea of ICO escrow company? What's the point of their service? SEC implements regulations about ICOs but with that service, I don't know.

Well the whole idea of escrow is 3rd party monitoring. In which opportunity lies for both the party that offers to mediate and the for the 2 parties who have a trust gap. If you stand out as an reliable 3rd party, then you can establish yourself when the big purge comes. There are escrow companies in Forex as well. I dont know if it's legit because I heard of the concept, but have no experience. I was hoping if I would mention it someone who has been in crypto long than i have, might debunk or enforce the concept.

There are enough signs that an economic crisis is going to happen soon in the next 3 - 5 years.

Whether China's bubble will burst or the dollar will implode.
Do you guys think crypto will be as good an investment as gold in time of crisis?
As much as I would love for the dollar to implode, I wouldn't want for it to happen. The whole world will collapse and fall to misery. China's bubble is already on the verge to burst, its in the middle of a trade war. Crypto is not an investment. People think that, but its not. For me, at least bitcoin isn't. I use it as a currency and I proudly do so. But most people might actually resort to crypto as an investment. I watched Mr.Robot, and when everything failed and the entire banking system and credit/debit cards went down, people were hunting for crypto and hard cash. So you never know.

That's a good point, we shouldn't be wishing for something that would cause misery for the entire world. The dollar isn't the best solution, but it's the only solution that is working at the moment. We can replace it further down the road. We shouldn't hope for another big market crash in order to do so, however. Just like that scene in "The Big Short" where the guy tells those two younger bankers "You do realize if you win this bet, millions of people in America are going to be homeless". It's not a bet we would want to win. It is one that we need to be prepared for though.

So many points in where I agree for sure. I would love to see misery spared, but actions have consequences. America, just like China btw are living with maxed out credit cards. The problem for the US is that 1/3 of its debt is in the hands of China.

The problem is also that overspending is just not sustainable, the bill will come. Our grandparents' generation and our parents generation have accumulated a debt that our generation can't pay off. I'm wondering if country heads think that their debt will be forfeited.

As a trader, we just play the markets. If the big short on the dollar comes, you're a fool not to try to make money off of it. I think Bitcoin will stick around and I do think the value of it could go down as the dollar will crash, but when economies will recover so will the value of bitcoin. Getting in at the right price, that's what I'm banking on.

And why such confidence that there will be a crisis.  These are just guesses.

Just google or type in youtube "dollar collapse" or "china bubble crash", enough reports will pop up and from very legit sources.
These are opportunities for traders or investors, if you can anticipate it.
13  Economy / Economics / Re: Upcoming economic crisis - crypto safe haven like gold or not? on: August 02, 2018, 02:56:22 PM
It sure seems like it's coming. As to your question, that's really tough to say, isn't it? Given their decentralized nature, yet all the hacks and general instability. Another question may be, would the government try to impose a mandatory state cryptocurrency, or something else, which everyone must use? Scary times, some might even say Mark of the Beast type stuff.

As to cryptocurrencies: if Bitcoin, for example, were distributed widely enough, and was adopted enough as a payment option... and the web was still up and running, it might become a good alternative currency to use. If/when that day comes, it will probably not be the time for masses of people to HODL hoards of BTC, as you'd want more coins circulating in the economy.

Actually, one of the companies we've been doing some work for was offering blockchain-based tokens pegged to the gold spot price, tokenized assets may be something interesting to take a look at for this discussion.

Thanks for posting the question,
The Cyberius team.

Appreciate your point of views. I really do wonder whether ppl will flock to digital assets.
I mean this is going to be the first crisis, where crypto is going to be an option.
Maybe the utilization of crypto as a currency will be really tested.
Who knows ... "The Big Short" was an awesome movie ... i wonder how such a movie will be in an era where crypto/bitcoin is available
14  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What technical analysis indicators works for crypto day-trading? on: August 02, 2018, 04:00:33 AM
I just stick to the basics. My favorites are:

-Trend lines: Drawing resistance points and ceilings and following if they are broken or not. If they become broken then I just expect a speedy move in said direction.
-EMA: Moving averages serve has strong floors or ceilings which need to be broken themselves, just like trend lines but you don't draw them, they just happen and are drawn for you.
MACD: To see volume.

That is all to be honest. I don't really use any of the other fancier indicators like bollinger bands and so on. I sometimes may throw in fib retracements. It's all we have, unless you have insider info on the fundamentals.

Instead of MACD, I use Stochastics, but I agree and I bet your charts look clean as well.

The economic development of the United States is very healthy, the dollar is hard to collapse, and the trade war between China and the United States may lead to the collapse of China's economy!
The high volatility of cryptocurrencies also has the potential for bubbles, and only gold and silver have real storage value!

I don't know what your sources are, but America is not doing that well. There are some short term economic patch ups done, but China owns 1/3 of America's foreign debt. Which means China has the power to influence the dollar at will. Peter Schiff was one of the few who predicted the crisis in 2008 and says there will be another 1 in the next 3 years. I'll say that America is gonna look for another war to cover up the upcoming crisis, but that's just me speculating
16  Economy / Economics / Re: Upcoming economic crisis - crypto safe haven like gold or not? on: August 02, 2018, 03:33:55 AM
You can't call a safe haven a market like the crypto-market that is highly volatile and unpredictable. Safe means safe, what is safe to put your money in cryptos knowing that the market can crash at any moment? In December last year the BTC price was at $20k now at $8k, is it what you call safe?

Valid point taken. I guess what they mean to say is to store your assets in investment opportunities to survive or even thrive during the crisis. I believe that when shit hits the fan again, the dollar will go down again, will people flock to crypto. If the dollar goes down, does that mean the price of bitcoin will go up? if so, that seems a solid investment.

Gold is considered safe, but if the dollar is strong, it's better to stay out of it. The crash of BTC last december is just euphoria running out of steam and mass panic cash out.

Having dabbled in forex trading for the past years and starting my crypto journey.
I'm wondering what indicators are useful for crypto day-trading. How useful are SMA's or EMA's?
What trading platform has the most complete technical analysis tools?

There isn’t much difference between forex and crypto trading so I believe that if you know much about forex trading you will also know how to trade crypto.

I am always surprised when I see some people that claimed to be good at forex trading complain that they don’t know anything about crypto, or maybe say that they think crypto is harder than forex or that forex is harder than crypto, lol. I don’t even think such people have been into forex, they just here to make comments that’s all.

Well there is quite a difference to be honest ... just like the tides of the sea ... in forex there is trading volume that is kinda predictable, whether it's the day of the week or the hour of the day (whether it's Asia market, European market or American market) ... a monday volume is different than a thursday or a friday ... with crypto you have  7 instead of 5 days. Then there is more historical data, which validates your analysis.

It's easy to say that price action is price action, whether stocks, forex, features or crypto ... but I've heard more than a few stories of people who transitioned and had to apply a different toolset when trading crypto.

Voor het geven van financieel advies tegen betaling heb je volgens mij een vergunning nodig ja.
En als je nou een stapje verder gaat en je beheert fondsen van klanten door middel van crypto trading?

Wordt er geld of crypto betaald voor deze "dienst"?

Volgens mij is dat alleen belangrijk voor de belastingdienst toch? Een licentie is meer een kwaliteitswaarborging
 
heb je al op de website van de afm gekeken? Als je bemiddelt moet je volgens mij een vergunning hebben.

Nee dat heb ik nog niet gedaan. Ik had verwacht dat mensen die al langer in crypto zaten 't al wisten, maar kga 't zeker wel onderzoeken.

Toch wel grappig dat er zoveel mensen, hun trading expertise (fund/account management) aanbieden in crypto en niemand die met zekerheid een antwoord kan geven.
het is vooral nog een groot grijs gebied, vandaar dat niemand het nog echt weet. Ben erg benieuwd nasr jouw bevindingen als je zelf onderzoek hebt gedaan.

De vraag hier is dan wat is wijsheid. Slapende honden, niet wakker maken ^^

De reden dat ik deze topic begon is omdat een goeie vriend van me, een zakenman, wordt meerdere malen benaderd door "crypto experts" die hem met een geweldig verhaal van zelf geprogrammeerde algorithems en winst projecties blabla geld proberen los te weken.
Hij vroeg mij of de setup legit is, die hem voorgeschoteld werd. 

Als ik wat meer weet, share ik 't zeker.
