In this forum alone, I have seen how other people view the people from other countries and there is diversified opinion depending on which country someone is if he is from a developing country or a developed country. While those people from developed countries may have seen bitcoin as a new technology that would disrupt the financial system, some people from developing countries see it as a source of income and doesn't care that much how it will change the financial arena. I respect every one's opinion about how they see bitcoin as I believe the variation derives from their current lifestyle.

Personally, I treat bitcoin as a source of income and feel that I am part of something that will have a great effect in the economy in the future. I think cryptocurrency is like the internet when it was first introduced and people are doubtful about it but eventually it is not only a want because it is part of the need already because of the advanced technology we have.

Right! Besides that, the needed information is given and I assumed that the exam they have are already learned by the students like derivatives which was tackled so even if it was not about bitcoin then they would be able to solve it. It just so happen maybe that the instructors are cryptocurrency enthusiast that's why an exam relating to bitcoin technology is given.

I am not a teacher but if I would know someone who is a teacher/crypto enthusiast then I would recommend to him to give the same exam as well but it should be related to their lesson. The students would be able to recall then that they learned it in school and they wouldn't be ignorant if in case bitcoin is mentioned in social media or television.

Most of the crypto influencers I see in twitter and youtube are either paid or just shilling the coins they bought so that they can have their profits sooner. There are times though when I can learn from them about some strategies but I don't immediately follow their advice and study the coin. Those influencers are a big help though in knowing what coins are trending at the moment so that I know what coins has a possibility of pumping in the next few days or even hours. Although there is already pre-pump, there is a possibility that it will be pump more.

Researching about the coin is a big help too in deciding whether the coin is worth it to buy or not but sometimes all it takes is taking a look at the chart and see the movements of the candles. You will get familiarized with the movements. I am not at the point yet when I can recognize an accumulation of a whale but I really wanted to be at that point.

I think so too that fiat will still be existing along with other cryptocurrencies as a mode of payment as the crypto payments will not be fully implemented in all places in the world because of some technological problems. As for making national cryptocurrency, Japan is already planning to do it so it is to be expected that other countries that accepts crypto will consider doing this as well since they know that blockchain technology is a big help to minimize cost with more efficient transactions.

The coins develop so far are decentralized which means no one controls it except maybe for Ripple but when the government decides to create their own cryptocurrency then it would be centralized since they have control of it.

Having a formal education is still better than just investing to earn more money like investing in bitcoin. Yes we know that many people succeed even if they weren't able to finish school but they are street smart so they were able to achieve their goals. Still knowing the terminologies in trading is important and you should understand as well the fundamentals reading news and whitepaper so you can fully understand what it says if you invest in education.

Many people in the forum wanted to earn more so that they can finance their studies and the two choices are not mutually exclusive as one can invest in education and then earn in which later on he can invest more in bitcoin. One can do both without the need of choosing but investment in education should be prioritized first.

KYC is one of the hindrance why some bounty hunters cannot join the bounty campaigns because they have no supporting documents to verify their identity as some are still minors and wasn't able to get some identification cards. I have no problem with KYC myself but I think it should only be applicable to the investors of the ICO because the bounty participants are just promoters of the campaign but then if the team ask for the identity of the participant then we cannot do something about it as they are the one who will distribute the coins. You can have a choice of either not joining the campaign or submit the needed documents.

It's a good way of filtering those who has multiple accounts as we know there are many people who will attempt to cheat especially if it has large bounty amount so asking for documents would be the best way to filter it. Submitting your documents though may impose a risk that your identity will be use for something illegal but if it is for a reputable manager and good campaign then I would just submit what I am supposed to.

Good for you OP to have this kind of business as the crypto enthusiasts are increasing every day. I am planning to have one too in the future. As for my opinion, your designs are good but as what is commented above, the designs are simple and will just let the people look at your shirt one time and will not really notice it. There are some that have some nice colors but maybe you can add more statement shirts cause most of them are logo of the coins. You can also add something written at the back so that people would be curious when they see what is written in the front. Do you accept personalized designs as well?

When a coin has high volume, this usually happens wherein the system will hang because they cannot take the traffic so those who are trading has a tendency to loss when the price suddenly drops. Well that is just your unlucky day OP getting rekt so you would be careful next time trading those coins that are trending. I was rekt as well before trading those coins that is trending at the moment. There is also the tendency when a wallet would suddenly be in maintenance if there is a big arbitrage opportunity. We can't do something about it as it is a centralized exchange and we are the one who agreed to their terms and conditions.

Well Japan has the first mover advantage when it comes to adopting cryptocurrency so it is just expected that their banks would consider adopting blockchain technology as it will be more beneficial for them to use the technology instead of being an enemy to it. Later on, if the adoption of cryptocurrency is widely accepted by the account holders then it would be expected that other countries would follow suit what Japan has done. Instead of eliminating the banks, cryptocurrency and banks would just work with each other to provide more efficient transactions to its account holders.

I judge them base on how active the team is and how knowledgeable they are in the project. Even if they aren't even in the map of crypto yet, they have the vision and they are active in their social media accounts and the investors can reach them always as there are always admin in the group willing to answer the questions. These kind of projects are ideal because they are still cheap. You will know that the team is willing to push through with the project if they are moving forward and follow their road map or if they weren't able to follow it then they have a good reason why.


The price of the coin that is below $1 doesn't matter that much if it has a big supply but if it has low supply then there's an opportunity that your investment will grow as long as the team continue to develop the coin. Market capitalization is more important than the price of the coin for us to know if the coin has a potential to grow.

They can see that some countries are slowly accepting it may it be a developed or a developing country that's why they are softening their rules cause it would be also for their own advantage. With more companies considering blockchain technology which is the backbone of cryptocurrency, it would just be wise to just regulate cryptocurrency and recognize it instead of banning it since more people are using it and they can get a share of the income. Being strict with the policy is good since it will prevent those scammers or at least lessen it to protect the investors but there are times when a policy should be adjusted to be more "friendly" to the crypto enthusiasts.

The first thing that I look for when I want to join a bounty is the campaign manager. The higher the rank, the more trusted the manager but I will prioritize those that already has a reputation in the forum because they would not just waste their account to a scam project but there are times when they are scammed too. Some campaign managers spent their own funds just to compensate the bounty participants so the bounties of these campaign managers are preferable compared to others. I prefer a weekly compensation than a monthly or a bounty paid after ICO but if the project is good then I would just wait for them to distribute it hoping they would compensate the participants as what they promise.


Even if you did your research and you think the project is good. There would be times when the intention of the team behind is to scam all the investors, bounty participants and even the campaign manager. They carefully laid out their plan to get the most out of the project and run away with all the money. We just have to keep trying because in some ways there are still honest ICOs paying the participants on time and as what they promised.

Trading altcoin is the way for me to earn it every day but then I can't do it since I am a swing trader than a day trader. Day trading is too stressful but if you want to experience trading and be good with it for a short period of time then day trading would be the best way since you often experience trading so the faster for you to control your emotions and develop your strategy. You have the option to join bounties and airdrops but for bounties you will be paid most likely after the ICO and for airdrops, it still varies when they will send it or never at all and it is the same case with bounties.

Faucet is also one of the option to earn altcoin but it only gives a small amount but then at least you are earning. There are so many faucets you can choose from.

You also have the option to lend your coins and then be paid interest in altcoins. In this way, you will have a stable way of earning altcoins or bitcoin every day.

I like your way of thinking. That should be what the purpose of cryptocurrencies are in which they shouldn't just be treated as mere currency racing on what coin will be the next king but we should think on how these cryptocurrencies would shape our future and how the technology and cryptocurrencies would be able to use each others system to make the transactions efficient and effective. This should be what the future looks like instead of just speculating about the price. We can see it in some projects now wherein some ICOs are partnering with coins already in the market and some in the ICO stage yet to provide a better project for the crypto enthusiasts.

I've observed that millennials are now open to investment options for retirement rather than just saving their money in the bank or just depend on the government for support when they are in retirement age. The social media in which most of the millennials are using opened their eyes to look for ways to increase their retirement funds and find an investment that would beat inflation as opposed to their parents who mostly just saved their money in banks because they thought that investment is complicated so they just choose what others did before. Being tech-savvy, no wonder millennials are considering investing in cryptocurrency than the traditional investment vehicles because it has shown tremendous gain in just a few years. Millennials too are more risk takers than the previous generations in my opinion.


Bitcoin is seen as a lucrative store of value now as opposed to being use as a currency because of its nature being volatile and speculative. Being still in its infancy, bitcoin has yet to find its true value and since the speculation of some experts in this industry is positive, people would just choose to hold their coins instead of spending hoping that one day, it would become valuable and they wouldn't worry in their retirement age anymore.

I am having some second thoughts too when it comes to KYC but if I really wanted to participate in an ICO then I would just send my verification documents as I don't want to miss the opportunity. Since some ICOs are regulated in the country they are launch, the SEC requires them to have KYC to their investors and even some bounty participants and it makes me believe that they are legit because they follow the regulation. I am still afraid that my documents would be used for illegal purposes so if I am doubtful of an ICO then I would just wait for the coin to be listed in the exchange for me to buy it without the need of KYC.

Sooner or later, we wouldn't have any choice anymore but to follow the rules which is to provide the verification documents for us to continue earning from cryptocurrencies. We are heading towards mass adoption which would need regulation so that the scams would be lessen. I don't care if the government monitor the movements of our funds and I am willing to pay such taxes.

One of the ways to not be able to catch the dumped is to have a trading plan and if there is a possibility for you to study technical analysis then please do so because many people are still using technical analysis especially if it is a high volume coin. If you study the fibonacci retracement and extension, there would be price levels in there and if you plot it in the chart, you can see that more often than not, price would bounce in these levels as the traders are either buying or taking profits in that level. Plotting the trend lines, knowing the support and resistance levels is important too including the psychological resitance which is recently the $10k level.

To avoid being dumped, you should put trailing stops to secure profits in which when the price goes up, you should put a conditional order to sell your coin when the price suddenly goes down and then have a stop loss too if ever the price of the coin went down after you bought it. If the coin makes a parabolic move then expect that it will bounce and correct. The problem with most of the traders especially those new to the market is being hype that's why they are just transferring their funds to the people who knows the market for some time.

A change is not immediately implemented because some people just don't want change as they are used to the old ways thus they reject the idea of cryptocurrency being used as a legal currence. Some people even call it scam just because they do not understand it and they comfortable with fiat as it is what they are used to and comfortable with especially for the baby boomers and the earlier generations. A developed country like Japan already regulated cryptocurrency and there are other developed countries who are planning to do so but there are developing countries who are moving forward and some even are regulating it. It is easier for countries with small population to implement such change compared to countries with bigger population.


Due to the high unemployment rate, many are taking the opportunity to have some extra income from bitcoin and other cryptocurrency. It is a big help in the economy of a developing country because people would have an income that let them spend on some things and would help more business prosper and more jobs will be open.

Yes I agree mate, there are so many ICOs and Pre-ICOs launch in the forum every day that it is hard to determine what are scam or not. If you carefully scrutinize it then you may find a good ICO that might give you a good return but even those ICOs that are honest with their intentions and project is affected by the bad ones because investors are losing faith in ICOs due to the fact that the value of the coin when launch on an exchange dump and investors may wait for sometime before they have some profits or they would just wait for the coin to be available in the exchanges because there are times when the team take some time to be listed in exchanges.

Years ago, ICOs are good because only a few are scam but in 2017, it is the year when there are so many ICOs that are launch up to now and maybe just like the traditional business, an average of 10% of them would prosper and others would just eventually be worthless.

Not every trader but most of the trader are educated or knowledgeable about trading and they know what they are doing compared to those who are successful because they were able to buy early. There are different strategies in trading like some just depend on news and some are using technical analysis and some are using both to be a profitable trader. I believe that those who are successful without knowledge are just gambling because they are hoping to get lucky and they may be lucky before earning 100x of a coin because they bought early but if you aim to make it a living then you should have a trading plan because it should be sustainable and not just depending on pure luck.


It is not necessary that you have formal education because even those who didn't finish school are the successful ones and in fact there is a high tendency for those street smart to be successful than the book smart because they know how to deal with people and they have experience which would make them control their emotions which is vital when trading.
