Lately I've seen too many posts in this section talking about an Ethereum killer ( Avalanche, Polkadot, Chainlink etc)and I will like to drop some points about this.

There is one thing I like about the whole crypto idea, the power have been given to the public, people are the ones to still decide where to invest their money, the most popular smart contract project is Ethereum and it's the founding father of smart contract too, if another project is going to kill Ethereum all developers that like using ERC20 smart contract will stop supporting Ethereum and even almost all eth lovers will stop buying ETH and move their funds into the new project, well to me it's never going to happen.

Ethereum supporters are over millions in numbers and people who wants Ethereum to get killed are just few in numbers, NEO,Stellar, EOS are old smart contract projects too but never wished Ethereum dead, they co-exists with Ethereum instead, till this day they can't beat Ethereum, the power of Ethereum is from the community and people's support, Long Life to Ethereum

A class action could likely be made out against the SEC by XRP holders.

[1] The SEC failed to act in a timely manner with respect to XRP allowing XRP to continue for 5 years with no complaint.

[2] The SEC's failure has contributed to or caused losses it's action now has directly or indirectly caused.


The SEC's filings admit they knew or constructively knew in 2013~2014

I have some DOGE, received from faucets. Not much just around 500.

After the increase in the transaction fees of BTC, I have thought of converting my BTC and LTC to DOGE for the transactions and keep them as DOGE. On the second thought, I thought of converting my DOGE to LTC and keep.

I have gone through some articles about DOGE's future price and I got some 50-50 opinions. I discussed with my friend and he suggested me to hold till mid-2021, I can't say why till mid-2021.

It's true that many sites have started accepting DOGE, thus it is getting popular so there is a chance that the price may increase. Still, my knowledge says there are certain loopholes like there is no upper limit in mining DOGE and it is still much easier to mine compared to others. In short, the demand & cost curve is a bit of a failure here. Though one can't say what might happen after 20 years.

Here I want some expert advice on this. Whether it is a good idea to convert and hold or keep my DOGE reserve constant.

My Coinbase account has been restricted a few days ago so that I am unable to trade or withdraw.
When I log in it asks me to verify my account with identification. I've done this by my account is still locked, and sent an email support ticket and message on twitter to their support but no response.
I was able to log in and view my portfolio just not withdraw or trade until today but now today I get an error message when I log in so I can't view my account at all.

From searching online I came across this article which shows many people have had the same experience.

Has anyone else on the forum had an experience like this with Coinbase?

Bounty hunters are those who enthusiastically join a campaign to promote a specific project to earn only a small amount of money from crypto.

But unfortunately, many project if not failed, they just give promises to the hunters to pay for their hard works after a couple of months which is still good to the part of the hunters and can do nothing but wait for the exact date that the project has promised.

Unfortunately, when the exact date comes, the project still refuses to send the reward for the hunters for the reason that they need to change their website and not keeping their promise. Anyway the website has nothing to do with the distribution of rewards, right? They promised to distribute rewards for ETH addresses, but not for accounts on the website.

This is very disappointing in the part of the bounty hunters, but what the hunters can do? Still nothing, but always hope and wait.

I believe a great project will be successful if they have a good marketing strategy with the full support of their team. The reward they provide for hunters is only a small percentage to promote their project. That is why I think they should give what is for the hunters, whether their project is successful or not.
Although hunters also wish the project success, of course.

What do you think guys, I am right or not?

Crypto is growing in popularity each day, bringing the attention of mainstream governments and banks worldwide. Some governments have already imposed regulations towards the crypto/Blockchain industry, while others are still undecided. I've heard that some US states allowed citizens to pay their taxes with crypto. I'm not sure if they still allow this, but it brings convenience to crypto "hodlers". Imagine being able to pay with crypto for a birth certificate, driver's license, and even bail predetermined by courts.

Do you think governments around the world will allow people to pay with crypto for their services? Or is it still too early to tell? Will accepting crypto payments directly, increase people's confidence into crypto/Blockchain tech? If not, why? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I am confused among these, cauze people says
 
1. Btc pump then alts dump
2. Alts pump then btc dump
3. Both btc and alts follow each other 

But we can see that only the 3rd scenario is happening right now i.e alts are following btc.
What's about the 1st and 2nd.
(Actually I am a newbie in trading)

I am in the US.  Bitstamp requires US customer to withdraw XRP.  If Coinbase, Bittrex, Kraken in US also delist XRP then what exchange that I can transfer XRP to?  Or what is the personal cryptocurrency wallet or app that I can transfer my XRP to?  Thank you.

OK, let's just say not many of us really believed bitcoin will hit $20,000 this year or this soon.

Personally, my eyes was on ETH and Link to do some unbelievable run that could have seen them rise some 1000% this year. I'd expected bitcoin to, at most oscillate between $7K and $13K this year, but amazingly it was bitcoin that stole the show to lead the bullrun charge.

So, now is perfect time to reflect and hear some confessions from some of our Bitcoin OGs who'd been here since the early days (I won't be surprised to see Satoshi himself resurrect on this thread, in commemoration of his 10th year AWOL anniversary, so, be on the look out. Yea, I remember "We're All Satoshi", but still.....)

Let's hear you, how or where did you first discover Bitcoin? Did you mine on your laptops? Did you buy from MTGox or one of those early days trade platform's? And, most importantly, did you sell too soon? Or luckily, did you hodl till now?

And, no matter what, be proud of your contributions to the development and adoption of the Bitcoin phenomenon, because, we won't be here today without you. If you mined you helped stabilized its decentrality. If you sold you helped in its fare distribution. If you held you helped others to believe in Bitcoin.

Is it a good idea to buy some crypto for long time investment plan from exchanges such as binance as keep it there, any alternatives ? Because i have heard bad things about some famous exchanges such coinbase.

0.2 BTC in hand.. One Altcoin to invest? Please share your thoughts.

Assuming this market cycle comes to a close at the end of 2021, how high do you see Ethereum going? $100k seems to be the main target for Bitcoin, but what about Ethereum?

$4000? $5000? Higher?

$ETH Good Point for Long!

ETH has held above the Broken Horizontal Resistance, + we have a Falling Wedge pattern. If the Falling Wedge broken upward we consider a long position📈.

Economist Raoul Pal says Ethereum’s (ETH) probable adoption as programmable money may see it becoming the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, overtaking Bitcoin (BTC) within the next ten years. At such a time, several blockchain networks may account for a larger share of the global financial markets as digital assets become more mainstream.

“My hunch is BTC is a perfect collateral layer but ETH might be bigger in market cap terms in 10 years for the reasons above. Money and collateral is just the base layer. Everything builds on top. The store of value is collateral, the trust layer and exchange of value is bigger.”

Pal dismissed the “one blockchain to rule them all” argument, insisting instead that different networks will carve out niches for themselves in the global business process. For Pal, Ethereum is better placed to capture areas like the $1.2 quadrillion derivatives layer, the $70 trillion equities arena, and the $260 trillion debt market.
the DeFi market has seen significant growth in 2020 with numerous protocol launches since the start of the year. According to DeFi aggregator Defipulse.com, the total value locked (TVL) in the DeFi market now stands at almost $14 billion.
Commenting on the need for a broad-based assessment of value across the digital asset (DA) space, Pal argued:

“This is why I care about the entire DA space. There will be many enormous winners, many failures, many scams, many false dawns but in the end, trillions and trillions of value will accrue across digital assets, tokens, protocols and crypto that tie all of this together.“

The price of ether is currently dumping a bit. What is the reason behind this dumping or what is the possibility of pumping ether in 2020? We look forward to hearing from you in 2021.
