Payment has been received, thank you for managing it so smoothly. I hope and wish this campaign runs longer and achieves its core target of the signature campaign.

I wish the same but we need to be more cautious this time as this is not the first time Bitcoin has crossed the $12k mark infact $13k mark. PayPal's update as well as the fall in price of USD has contributed towards the recent pump but it's not an appropriate time for bull run unless the trend lasts longer and it shouldn't be like last year's short term pump which was followed by a long term bearish market sort of situation.

No, signature campaign has nothing to do with cred with credibility of ICO or any projects but it will attract more users and investors and it will give the project a slight advantage over other projects in terms of filtering the project to avoid scam projects since scams projects will not run Bitcoin paid signature campaign, this is just my opinion.

Bitcoin is moving in the right directions and inching towards bull run but it would be too early to predict anything unless we see a trend of continuous improvement in the value of Bitcoin for atleast 2 to 3 week's time because we need to be sure this time that it's not one more trap. Even last year Bitcoin achieved the value of $13,000 but it was short lived hence i would say bull run can be confirmed once if the value is moving upwards for couple of weeks without any dump.

But the entire community is waiting for bullrun, but on the other hand some major traders will be hesitant to buy btc when the value reaches the peak as they learnt this lesson in 2017.

Yes and the day is not far away when people will stop investing into new projects and moreover the will be no participants for new projects if the current trend of scamming, mismanagement continues to exist. It's high time that we need to stop entertaining scam projects by validating their entry into every single crypto related forum as well as exchanges. We have seen a lot of altcoins ending up as dead coin due to the short sighted plan of the developers.

That's really sad for those participants who wasted their time and effort for this selfish bounty program, it's not a sign of good project to make participants wait like and disappoint like this. There needs to be more stricter rules which should be applied for all the bounty projects to avoid this because they cannot take participant's effort for granted just like that. This needs to be stopped at the earliest else we are not too far from the time when there will be no participants for bounty projects.

Yeah mate, an extra layer of validation or filter should be there in CMC and I have even suggested that there should be some sort of background verification process in this forum as well before new projects are even allowed to advertised in this forum as filtering the fake ones before they start bounty campaigns will help us in keeping the scammers at bay and moreover newbies are easy target for fake projects as they blindly trust whatever is listed in CMC and other similar sites.

Well, that's truly logical as it also depends on the fact about how we control second wave of COVID as it has affected every single business but crypto has not been affected as bad as other business since crypto is digital. So next 6 months would be like a observation period for us and I would personally avoid huge transaction or purchase new coins atleast dust settles down.

No, during this era of pandemic Bitcoin has surprised most of us by performing better than it did last year. Bitcoin's price is not relational to the price or performance of USD but rather USD is just a common calculative unit to calculate the value of Bitcoin. If we look at movement graph of Bitcoin then you will realise it's not losing value but rather inching towards one more bullrun which looks inevitable so we need to compare the real-time data to understand the market instead of suggestions and recommendations.

Is this the beginning of most awaited Bullrun which we have been expecting and speculating all these while? As there is been no major dumps and most of the altcoins are performing above average, Bitcoin has cemented it's spot above $10,000 with $10,000 being lower range which was really difficult to achieve all these years.

Kindly share your opinions whether this is an indication of bull run or else a trap wherein whales are trying to cashout at peak which might send one more shock waves across market?

Yes, we should learn from the past and start utilising the profits before it's too late as greed takes better control of us, we can consider the bull run of 2017/18 as an example wherein people who sticked up Bitcoin didn't sell even when Btc reached over $20,000 and lost the golden opportunity to cashout, later sold it for lesser amount and some are still waiting for btc to reach $20,000 even after 3 years which btc is yet to achieve.

It's best to act smart and be goal oriented rather than assuming it's loyalty to hodl for a long-term.

Bitcoin and Ethereum are two different crypto which tops in their own way and I think it doesn't make any logic or sense trying to find out better amongst them. Ethereum has its own sphere of influence wherein it topples Bitcoin and Bitcoin remains as undisputed king of crypto for its vast influence over the market.

People will select either Bitcoin or Ethereum as thier preferred coin based on their usage and domain.

But by doing this you cannot increase your portfolio as there are various strategy which can be implemented I usually prefer to increase my portfolio during dump by buying as much as I can in order to sell it off during pump just like we all do. Sometimes it backfires when emotions takes better control of myself especially during extended bear market situation, it's always better to fill your portfolio by purchasing them or using USDT balance to buy during bear market situation.

Note: This will only work with those who have planned there asset portfolio and have good amount of balance in their Tether wallet to utilise it during bearish market.

If the value of Bitcoin remains over $10,000 for more than 2 weeks then we will see further increase as it might attract more investors but at the same time we can expect a dump anytime like we have witnessed in the past. It's too early to comment on this but I am sure it would not be a smart move to get invest now due to FOMO.

You are scammed and don't just blindly trust anyone and there is only one way to earn profit that's by doing it on your own by learning about market. Please consult with someone or share you though over this forum before taking any such steps in the future. Now don't regret for the money which you have already lost as its not gonna comeback.

Consider this as an experience and move on.

Just like how Bitcoin remains king of crypto currency, Ethereum will continue to remain as king of altcoin as I don't see any other altcoin even inching closer to the feat which Ethereum has established. I remember only one instance till date when ripple took the number two slot from Ethereum but Ethereum was back to number two slot in a flash. I am sure we need to wait for couple of more years in order to see any competitor to Ethereum as there are absolutely no competition for Ethereum in terms of altcoins.

I would suggest you to consider this as a lesson because the coin which you have invested is a shit coin and you cannot expect much from it, and it's better to cashout from this coin or rather shift your investment to other coins like TRX or BNB or ETH before you end up losing much more as I don't think it will ever recover.

XLM has already disappointed investors in more than one occasions and trust me I am one of the well wisher for XLM and I have invested into XLM when its value was half of what it's trading now and I have earned good amount of profit with this coin but post first quarter of 2018 everything came to halt and then there has been very little occasional short lived momentum. I hope this one lasts longer and acts as a breaking out for XLM to get back to top ten coins once again.

Yes, even I have witnessed numerous defi projects in last 6 months and I was really impressed with this project named GEOMA which has a promising whitepaper, but as you have mentioned we still have gaps to fill in the crypto sector wherein we need more diversified projects because right now we see dozens of defi project just like how we used to see payment related projects in the past.
