Cryptocurrency is a great help for people who wanted to earn more income. In developing countries wherein the salary is not that attractive, many of them are considering working overseas in developed countries wherein the salary is higher so they are sacrificing their time with their family to have higher source of income and some people see cryptocurrency as a way to get higher income so they don't leave their family anymore.

As for reducing poverty, the root cause of poverty is not just a simple lack of income but there is a macro cause like economic uncertainties and graft and corruption. It is the greediness of people who are in power that the rich are getting richer and poor are getting poorer. Cryptocurrency can at least help those people who are struggling financially to augment their income and maybe go above poverty line.

But I would advise to take a look at the stock market as well because sticking in one investment vehicle is risky. It would be good then if you can invest in cryptocurrency and stock market so you can have different options in your investment and trading as well. If you can see now, the cryptocurrency market is not doing good because of bitcoin price going down so you can choose to take a look at the stock market because maybe the stocks are doing good. You can even choose maybe some penny stocks because these are the stocks that are fast moving but has higher risk as well.

Definitely agree with easier than done. If you are already there trading and then you are watching the price move up or down, your emotions will be in play and if you are a newbie in trading and you don't have a trading plan then you will just be rekt then. You need experience to trade with confidence and you can only do it if you know when you should buy or sell or in short, has a trading plan.


Knowledge is the key to be profitable along with the control of emotions. Maybe you can average down as well so that you can protect yourself from getting massive loss when the price doesn't go your way. Some would say that it's already the start of a bull run and you would be investing and I heard it a few days ago but now, people are frustrated again seeing the price.

The founder, Satoshi Nakamoto, envision bitcoin to be use as a means of payment and not just a coin existing in the exchange. It would eventually become useless if it is just being traded because there is no organic demand to it; whereas, when you use it to buy things then you can say that it has a use so people would want it. I would choose bitcoin then to be use in the marketplace because it would mean that merchants are adopting it and the demand is there.

There would be no difference for it to other coins-almost all of them I must say-that has been existing in the exchange and not being use for other purpose. Of course those coins might have some whitepaper but the project may be still develop and worse if it is already abandoned so it would become just a pump and dump coin.

I don't think that etherdelta is newbie firendly though because once you made a mistake like in inputting prices and you lack one, you will end up buying usually 10x more than the price and you just lose it. Once you click a button, there is no warning what you will be transacting and no cancel to it so if you made a mistake then you cannot cancel it. I like IDEX more because they have this feature wherein I can still cancel the transaction but there is a limit though to the minimum transaction in IDEX.


I am trading in binance and bittrex too. Others have problems with Bittrex though because they now require KYC so that you can trade there. As far as I know, there are some who weren't able to claim their coins because they failed in KYC. Binance is the most in demand exchange nowadays and coins getting listed there are pumped.

Some become investors because as the project unfolds while they are promoting the project, they can see the potential of it. They can see that the team is working hard to do what they can to follow the roadmap and sometimes when the team is active and knowledgeable when you ask them, you will be encourage to invest on it because you know that the team have plans and it has great potential. The more you converse with the team, the more you know their capabilities.


Personally, I am buying more of the coin when I am participating in a campaign but I don't buy it during ICO. I buy it when it is listed in the exchange because of the chance that it might go below ICO price so I just wait for it then and I would trade it and then buy more if I have profits.

I agree with this. Why not just introduce your partner to cryptocurrency so that you will understand each other. You may be able to find a partner that would be interested in cryptocurrency and you agree with it but in other things you will always have misunderstandings so it is not good at all. Better find someone you agree with and then if that person do not know about cryptocurrency then introduce it to him/her and who knows he/she will end up liking it and may become better than you eventually.

News has still an effect to the price of bitcoin but I think the traders or investors are now mature enough to not be that affected because there are so many news going around that people do not know or unsure of it would have a positive or negative effect to the price. If you also compare the number of people during this time last year, there may be fewer since bitcoin has attracted only that much attention when it made its run last December.


Only the bigger news has an effect though like the news about ETF. I believe that it is one of the things that trigger the upward movement weeks ago because people are positive that during this time, ETF would be approved and new money will come in the market that would cause an upward movement.

I want to increase my bitcoin earnings but at the same time, I am taking profit as well in dollars so that I can still benefit from my profits and spend it in fiat. Let's just face it. There are things that bitcoin cannot buy yet that's why we need to convert it to fiat so that we can still use it and pay or buy what we wanted.

If I wanted to increase my bitcoin earnings though, I would just withdraw just a little amount of profit and store the remaining coins so that my coins are increasing as well and not stagnant. I am storing other coins as well but these are coins that are existing for a long time and not new coins since we have yet to see what new coins will be able to hold its position.

Pretty much this explains the purpose of airdrops. Usually, I can see many coins giving just 10 or 20 coins that may be not worth that much but many are participating in it because it is free. You just have to join telegram community, like their page and follow it as well with sharing to others about the airdrop. When they airdrop to 10,000 people and share it let's say, 1,000 friends or followers per person then 10 million people would be reach because of that airdrop and a possibility of catching an investors eye.

Of course bounties are still better because there is constant sharing of information and being active in community as well but airdrops are still an effective tool for me as well to get exposure and get people to share about ICO if they don't want to participate in bounties since airdrops are just usually one time tasks.

I don't think it is because of too much ICO that bitcoin price drops. It is just normal for the bitcoin price to go down because there are traders who and buy and sell the coins. They saw a formation of head and shoulder days ago that's why the price went down. Traders speculated the price to go down because of that formation and then others who are waiting for the price to go up are furious because it went down again. If you wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of swinging prices then better learn trading.

As for other coins being not listed, there are different ways of being listed whether it is by payment or by community votes so if the team behind the coin would spend an effort in getting listed then they can do it. They may be just busy developing the project for now and just focus on it so that when their workload is getting lesser, they would have time negotiating in exchanges.

So far, I have good experience with bountyhive as well. All the campaigns that I have participated, I was paid in all of them. Although, some of those projects didn't materialize because the developers are not answering the queries anymore, they are paying the tokens because as far as I know, they are already holding the tokens beforehand so you are guaranteed to be paid. There are times though when others would complain because they are rewarding small amount compared to campaigns here in the forum.


Yes, their platform is safe and just make sure to follow the instructions because it is automated. What I like is that I don't have to submit reports for my tasks. Make sure to be updated in your twitter audit as well because they do not accept those audits that are already more than a month.

The most enticing to me is trading because I have control as to much I wanted to earn compared to doing bounty or investing in ICO. When you are trading, you have so many coins to choose from and you also have the opportunity to earn from the fluctuation of prices unlike investing wherein you would just hope that the price would be higher than ICO and nowadays usually, upon listing the price just go down.

When you are doing bounty, you are unsure if you will be paid or not but it is the one that you can afford to lose though you wouldn't like that because all of us do not want to waste time. If I would have to choose in order of priority, it would be trading, lending, ICO and then bounty.

So you are emotionally attach with your coins which is the reason why you weren't able to sell them for the past seven months then. It seems that the market is coming back so you might as well buy more if you have the funds so that you can average down or you can just sell it and then buy back lower. The mistake you had is that you didn't establish a stop loss which would have prevented a further downfall to the value of your coins.

Maybe you can consider sticking to trade those coins that are in the top since they seem to coincide with what bitcoin is doing so you know what will be the reaction of those coins when bitcoin goes up or down. You can also choose to trade those coins that has an upcoming news because those coins most likely will get the attention of traders or investors since news is a big factor in price especially if it's a significant one.

If the coin has good developers and they are following the roadmap then most likely they would be able to push through the project and achieve their goals which would result for the existence of the project for a long time given that their project would be useful. Unfortunately, we can only see a little percentage of those coins that has these types of persistence because some just give up easily that's why the value of their coins just continue to go down.


Even though bitcoin is what they call has ancient kind of technology already because it is the first one, it is still the most famous and valuable one because it has the demand of the people. It would still exist for a long time and may not be gone at all and retain its position if there is a catalyst that would catch investor's eye and it will continue to soar high.

I like this idea because it would mean that you cannot blame the team, investors, and bounty hunters for that matter when the price is down upon listing due to the selling of the traders. Being transparent would mean that the team wouldn't be able to defraud the investors since the movement of funds can be seen.


This would establish the trust in ICOs since there is less trust nowadays to the team due to the non-payment to some investors and some projects do not go well. When there is a voting system then the investors has a say to what will happen to the project.

There are times when you bought a coin and then sell too early that's why you bought again when it already has a high price so you end up sometimes holding the coin because it already went down when you bought. You should have been in profit if you just let it go.


This is the most common mistakes of traders especially in bear market when the price just continue to go down until such time the value already lost more than half and then you will think of selling it then. If you have a stop when you just lost 10% then it should have been better.


One should always have a trading plan upon buying a coin. The problem is that when you get emotional, you just buy or sell a coin immediately without thinking of a target price and most likely end up at a loss being too greedy.

Even though I was scammed at first when I am just new to cryptocurrency, I have earned more than I was scammed so I am thankful that I have known cryptocurrency because it has been a great help and it still is up to now. There are times when I am out of cash so I would just exchange some coins and convert it to fiat.


Yes, it would be a big help. It is not necessary for him to invest money in it. He just need to invest more time and effort to earn through campaigns perhaps so that he can earn coins and then use it to invest in other coins. There are so many opportunities in this forum alone. If he has other skills then he can offer it too in exchange of coins.

It seems that you are losing hope for this market. There is still a chance that bitcoin would be able to surpass its all-time high because there are still many events that the cryptocurrency enthusiasts are anticipating. Bitcoin always surprise and when the time comes that many people are getting discourage about the market then it would be the time when the price would be slowly creeping up.


Speaking of dips, a dip is happening now but then the buyers are slowly appearing and if you are still uncertain if it's the right time to buy then think of it for the long term. As what you say, many people are getting expose to crypto and with the same supply and increasing demand, price would eventually go up and surpass all-time high.

Well, they have seen the opportunity and they seize it. Cryptocurrency is a growing market that's why an opportunity if creating something that is needed is an ideal business. Just as what others say, "Strike while the iron is hot." Later on, maybe ASICs wouldn't be not that in demand as it is now so I am pretty sure, they would take this opportunity again to have a product that would be in demand.

Cryptocurrency-related businesses is in nowadays and has astounding earnings that's why there are many ICOs now attempting to earn from this current trend but only a few of them succeed because there are so many of them already. Sadly, there are scammers as well that is taking this opportunity and they are the one destroying the image of cryptocurrency.
