It's the reason why you can't trust someone's prediction particularly when it comes to the price, you can't use it as a foundation of your decision. Trading is speculative, it requires patient and effort. It will never be easy at first but as long as you're determined to be a successful trader then it will be a good inspiration. You just need to find different ways that can help you enhance your knowledge. We've experienced losing our funds on the same reason but somehow we are able to managed it because we have learned from our experiences and allow it to guide us. Actually, you don't need someone to help you understand trading because you can learn it by yourself by doing your own research. It's a bit laborious but it's definitely worth it because you can easily see various of information that can enlighten you and improve your understanding about trading.

...
Five different predictions does not make nay sense. I would be happy to know if anyone can predict one correct value of bitcoin.
No one can predict it precisely.

No one can predict the future, that's why no one can know the exact price and how long the top will stay. but what i have learned so far about the bitcoin price is: it will always move, maybe up or maybe down, but the chaos in the market is growing day by day. so, will be impossible to see bitcoin price stable.
It's the reason why you can't use those price prediction as a foundation of your decision making because prediction won't give you any assurance of the possible outcomes. You can't always expect that it's worth it to trust and accept a prediction because there is a huge chance that it will just disappoint you and fail your expectations. Even expert finds it too difficult to guess cryptocurrencies future, for that reason it's better to wait patiently and focus on learning, researching and more important things.
183  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [Libra scammers] fake ICO on Twitter on: January 29, 2020, 02:20:09 PM
Real investors are not going to believe on this, if you are following what's happening in the Cryptocurrency, you are fully aware that Facebook is not yet launch and if they are going to launch popular media will cover their launch and if you are an old investor, you know the recent updates about Facebook and when they are going to launch.

Yes but a lot of investors are not following the news and just want to earn money 
And, of course, without doing their homework... so if you don"t know what's a blockchain and what's an ERC20 you can invest money in it right ?
Some people are still sending money to "Vitalik" when he's doing Ethereum giveway, so why not to Libra ?
After it's a shame but it will not damage Facebook reputation, of course.
It's because they never change their mindsets, they used to risk their own money by thinking that it's going to be worth it but they don't even bother doing their own research and that is the reason why they end up losing their funds. They get easily blinded by the amount of money they can possibly earn but they don't analyze every decision that they are making that's why scammers are taking that opportunity to deceive them. It's the reason why doing your own study is suggested and recommended because it will help you determine if something is real and legit, especially nowadays that's why we need to learn from it and used it as a guide to avoid having the same problem.
184  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Is BCNEx is turning to a scam Exchange? on: January 28, 2020, 05:08:35 PM
So here we go again, Many projects that seen to have a potentials and could urn into something big ing thw futures have turned into scam and even exchanges are following the trends. One of those projects that I thought it would compete with others big exchanges is BCNEX. Here is what happened, I logged in and traded all my balances including those I got from their bounty campaigns and asked for withdrawal( Jan 22,20200) and up until now my request is still pending. I have tried contacting their support and noone answered my email, I went to their telegram group but unfortunately it is deleted. With all these happening I don't think investors will have an appetite of investing in a project knowing that they could be scammed and don't be able to get their money back.
It's a scam. Only some people were able withdraw their money in the past but so many people are still getting pending. The withdraw will never happen until the hot wallet of this scam exchange site will be filled by another users who deposit their money. It's a scam exchange site and million dollars have already scammed.
No response, no group, no support and there is nothing to be used to contact the team.
It's really sad to see how people lose their funds especially on an exchange that they have trusted to protect and secure their funds but in the end they just taken it for granted and fails to fulfill their promises. It will be too hard for them to start and trust again because of this incident, those defrauder manipulates people to get the benefits they wanted. They ruined their own reputation to scam people but again what can we expect? scammers nowadays will always look for an opportunity to deceive others especially those who doesn't have enough knowledge to keep their funds and assets safe.

If a new account asking you to go first on a transaction isn't sketchy enough, then you (speaking generally, not to you OP) are silly. This is common sense: don't trust a complete stranger. It becomes even worse when someone trusts a stranger nobody else around knows either. And knowing the Bitcoin transactions are irreversible.. what could go wrong, right?
The problem is that people nowadays can get easily derived by words and promises, they are allowing the scammers to take advantage of that opportunity to deceive them. It's the reason why they need to be enlighten how they can secure their funds from it. They must realize that they can't trust and believe anyone except themselves because you can't easily identify a person's real intention. There is a huge possibility that they are just looking for an opportunity to get the benefits they wanted from you that's why we need to be aware of such incidents to remind and guide ourselves.
186  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Remove the bad influencer from your life! on: January 28, 2020, 02:13:36 PM
That's true sometimes bad influences really might affect you're thinking they kept asking to go jump out of the market but it's the opposite it's the best time to jump in back to start a good investment specially in cryptocurrency.

A hodler will always hold its bitcoin for a long run but many new traders and newbies are being affected by the statement of the bad influences however we can't really eliminate them to our lives and what we can do is to deal with them and be brave or just ignore them completely.  
It depends on a person's level of perception, people nowadays tend to believe someone's prediction without thinking how it can have a huge impact on their decision making. They get easily derived by someone's words because they think that it can help them decide which is the best for them, without even knowing that they are just putting their funds at risk. It is the reason why most of them end up regretting their own decisions, I just hope people will realize that predictions can't always be true and it will just disappoint them to expect because you can't guarantee the possibilities. For that reason, it is much better to wait, ignore them and focus on much important things.
187  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How often do you gamble? on: January 28, 2020, 01:16:00 PM
I gamble when I feel so tired and stressed, it's my way to enjoy and have fun during leisure time. Actually, I don't allow myself to make it as a habit because I know that gambling is risky and there is a huge possibility that i'll just end up losing my funds. It's the reason why I control myself when it comes to gambling because I know how it can have a huge negative impact on someone's life. Aside from that gambling can't assure you anything and you have to accept whatever the outcome is that's why you need to know your own limitation to avoid having addiction problems. Gambling addiction depends on a person's mindset and perspective, it depends on how they will manage or handle themselves when they gamble.
188  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The World’s Most Crypto-friendly Countries on: January 27, 2020, 04:53:48 PM
Maybe add Philippines because here in my country many people start to gaining knowledge about cryptocurrency especially in bitcoin,  and also many crypto currency exchange are developing here in my country. 

And aside from that we have Bitcoin Atm,  and also some stores here already accepting bitcoin as a alternative payment.

Residing in the Philippines does really great for a cryptocurrency enthusiasts, but I can say, bitcoin and cryptocurrency is allowed and is tolerable by government but the fact that its image formed isn't really well since right before, people think about it as investment rather than a daily transaction medium such as a currency. Many falls to scam and pyramids, that is why if we ask an older person what is their thought about bitcoin, they mostly don't like it knowing that computer literacy rate of old people in the Philippines isn't promising plus, the impact of their first impression when they hear what bitcoin is.

I can say, if we try to convince or attract people with bitcoin, we should mainly consider talking to milennials.

That's right, Philippines has been very really positive in terms of crypto industry, that's why we are really thankful for having a crypto friendly country, as we are open here in this kind of industry, the worst part is just that, some people here are taking for granted wherein they are taking it for granted and making crypto scam.
It's the reason why people never change their perspective regarding cryptocurrency, they are still looking on it's negative side because of those people who take advantage of that opportunity to deceive others and the one who ruins the reputation of cryptocurrency. No wonder why many of them are still in doubt, they are afraid to be victimized by those kind of people. I can't blame them but still they should also see the positive side of cryptocurrency, they don't need to judge it based on what they heard or have seen about it. Well it's great to see that the adoption of cryptocurrency in the Philippines is improving despite of that kind of incident, I just hope that those deceiver will realize how they made a huge negative impact on other people's way of thinking.
189  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Held a bitcoin seminar today on: January 27, 2020, 03:50:28 PM
I really appreciate the hard work that Op has done to promote bitcoin. and I think explaining bitcoin directly like holding a seminar is the most appropriate way to promote cryptocurrency. because we can explain cryptocurrency in detail to many people. and if seminar participants ask questions about cryptocurrency we can immediately answer and explain cryptocurrency to him.
It's overwhelming to see that someone is giving some time and effort to enlighten people through seminars that will open their minds for new learning. In addition, it will be much easier to learn and understand since the speaker can clarify various of information as well as their perception regarding bitcoin. It will make them realized that the world isn't just revolving around fiat, there's a cryptocurrency that can help them change their lives into a better one. Maybe seminars are laborious, it takes a lot of patience but I know that it's worth it knowing that you helped people to grab an opportunity to learn and earn.

191  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Top 100 coin's Desktop+Android+iOS wallets . Newbies be aware about fake wallet. on: January 27, 2020, 01:21:13 PM
Its nice of you gathering these coins and their respective wallets to avoid fake or possibly phishing. As a newbie, we need to be careful. I have my own way to avoid these fake wallets. I go to coinmarketcap click the coin I want to find the wallet and then click website and from there you can find the wallet from their official website. If the coin is not listed on CMC I go to their social media and look for their official website but be aware there are some fake social media accounts.
We have different ways on coping up such problems such as doing our own research and exploration regarding that specific wallet. Having your own research is extremely useful and helpful because it will help you choose which wallet can assure you that your funds are well protected from hackers, particularly these days that fake wallet existed to deceive and take advantage of people especially those who doesn't have enough knowledge. Based on my experiences, it helped me a lot when i'm still new on finding a wallet that suits me because I tend to lose my funds. It's great to see some valuable information that can enlighten newbies minds for new learning regarding on the wallet that they should use.
192  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: scam spam on: January 26, 2020, 01:55:20 PM
I have never seen this trick before although I am here for a long time. In this way, it's very easy to trick a newbie who has no idea about scammers. I was targeted several times through my email but now I am not anymore using that email. Had to change a lot of things.
We have a one-time mail service to sign up for any temporary site. I think everyone must use temporary mail service to register in the shit sites.
Even if they have the idea they chooses to disregard the fact that there is a huge possibility that it can happen to them, they don't choose to do things that can prevent them experiencing the same thing. They still trust and believe anything without even having some assurance that it's legit and worth it that's why they end up getting scammed because they don't allow themselves to do some exploration to avoid it. They don't open their minds for new learning, they don't even make some time and effort learning things to protect their funds that's why they always make some mistakes and regret any decisions they had made.
193  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Problem in trust or correction time? on: January 26, 2020, 10:02:48 AM
In my opinion, old coin are much safer for investment than new coin. I've noticed a new trend among new projects. They launch the project and get several investors to hold the coin, in less than a year, the value dumps by over a thousand percent and never recovers because the dump is initiated by the team to cash out of the project.
Aside from that old coin had already gain so much trust from it's investor, besides you can't just expect people to invest on a new coin without doing some exploration to determine if it's also worth it and profitable. People have different perspective, they will grab the opportunity to invest if the coin seems beneficial. They are not underestimating the capabilities and potentialities of new coin but somehow it's their way to protect themselves and secure their funds. Some of them had some bad experiences with new coin that gives them trust issues, which made a huge impact on their decision making that's why if they don't want to then learn to accept it. You can't blame the investor being in doubt investing in new coin because they just don't want to regret anything regarding their own decisions.

BBC reported that a 75-year-old woman is warning others of the dangers of an online scam that has cost her her life savings. She lost 11K EURO!! You can see the news from here, https://www.bbc.com/news/amp/uk-england-devon-51205126

Guys, don’t think too much to spend 100-150 USD, buy a hardware wallet right now! You are not safe in any online wallet by 100 percent! 
Articles like these ruin bitcoins name in front of the people. People like these in the media are really a shame since they give a bad name to bitcoin.
It's the people's mistakes that they are not aware of such scams. People invest money without doing a proper research just to satisfy their greed and eventually get scammed.
Bitcoin has nothing to do with all this bulltshit. Media is sometimes just too overwhelmed because of bitcoin's fame.
People nowadays keep losing their funds and assets because of their own stupidity and end up blaming bitcoin when we can clearly see that they are also the reason why it happened. It's because they keep on risking their own money, actually it's not about the wallet. It depends on how you will protect your own funds from scammers and hackers. If you are wise enough then you will definitely think the possibilities before giving your money, you don't even have an assurance that it's legit and that your funds will grow.  You can't just expect people to be nice after seeing that your giving them an opportunity to take advantage of you that's why people also need to change their way of thinking. They need to be aware that scammers will make them believe to their promises and when they finally get the benefits they wanted from you then they will leave you with nothing, don't let yourself get fooled by their sweet lies.
195  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: WINNING THE GAME AGAINST BAD PROJECTS on: January 25, 2020, 04:06:58 PM
I agree with you, playing safe is our method and solution to face market and reality right now. Established coin look's expensive but worth because already have fundamental foundation and track record history, we can review it easier than new coin. BNB and BCH is my priority right now and avoid bitcoin because still in negative movement, my fund not enough for recovery. No need split into many coins, just take 2 - 3 coins is enough.
If you want to play safe stick only with bitcoin only and don't touch any altcoins, with exception of established coins. I don't think any coin is expensive it's just the amount of your investment is small and it doesn't really matter how much you want to invest in investing. If i were you i would sell my bitcoin cash and buy it with bitcoin or other altcoins instead, BNB is fine because overtime the price will increase because there's alot of people holding their tokens to get benefits in the exchange.

It is really up to the crypto user where he wants to invest his money. The risks involved should be his responsibility. So either investing his money on bitcoin or other alts, it is his task to do the research and embrace the risks involved. At the end of the day, no one will be in charge of his assets but him. So he should know how to protect his investments for his own interest.
It depends on their preferences, investor usually grab an opportunity if an investment seems good and profitable though the problem most of them don't analyze the possibilities before investing that's why they end up blaming it. Without even realizing that they are also the reason why they end up being in that kind of situation wherein they lose everything and suffer the consequences of their stupid mistakes. As an investor, they should know their obligations and one of it is to make sure that their funds and assets are safe and secured. They can't just invest their money on a project just because it seems good, of course every project looks good because they are designed to attract people and make them interested but if you are wise enough then you can easily determine which one is worth it and beneficial. You will surely do some exploration and study to make sure that you will be not wasting your time and effort, you will look for every details about that project that will guide you on deciding whether to invest or look for much better investment.
196  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Petchain ICO Is Scam? on: January 25, 2020, 01:37:57 PM
I Wonder Because the ICO site is closed and also visited twitter account the latest tweet was from 3 June It means they are not active maybe they are too slow or fake i don't know maybe they are legit . if some know please let me know in reply.
if the project do not give any update to investors its only means its abandon project. Most the ICO right now is scam so even it is legit considered it scam and do not invest if you dont want to lose any from your money. Find an old coins instead of investing in a new project.
It's the reason why it's difficult to find a good and profitable project these days, you can't guarantee if your investment is going to be worth it that's why it is much better to invest on a project with good reputation because it already gain trust from it's investors, besides why bother looking for something new when the old ones are great? well maybe because of our different preferences but still you don't have to waste your funds for nothing. Investors should make decisions carefully to avoid falling into scams. They have to remind themselves that scammers will always look for an opportunity to deceive them for the sake of money.Investors should be cautious and do some research before investing their money in new projects. We're not underestimating it's potentialities but with the reputation of ICO? who knows, it's better to be careful than ending up regretting your own decisions. You can't easily trust and believe a project just because it seems good, you have to make sure of every details and information regarding it.
197  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New investors are too impatience on: January 25, 2020, 12:12:43 PM
Those investors that are too impatient are those who are just after the easy money, those who don't value much the time and that they don't care about the project at all, but what the project can give profit to them, so this kind of people too are those can easily get scam as they don't think well before they will invest.
Unfortunately you're right about that, majority of new investors now would like to earn quick thats why even they dont have enough knowledge about the investment and only aware of basic information about it they tend to invest regardless how risky their decision is.

Then if something went wrong no one is to blame but themselves for not conducting their own research and for not being patient to learn and wait for the right timing on when to invest.
What can we expect from people who don't give some effort on learning and understanding how investing works? they don't even open their minds for new learning that's why they end up losing their funds and feeling remorse regarding their own decisions. After that, they'll just keep on repeating the same mistake because most of them don't consider their own experiences. I've been there the only difference is that I allow myself to change and I acquire from it and used it as guide on making ourselves better. Investing is speculative, it requires time and effort that's why if you are not strong enough to handle and manage yourself to be patient then you'll surely end up regretting. Investors these days should realized how a decision will make an impact on their funds, they should realize that getting successful takes time and it won't be easy. There will be some challenges, you will face different problems with yourself and if you really wanted to be achieve your specific goal then you will not let yourself derived by some news or anything. You will check every single details before making an action because that's what an investor should act, they are cautious and good researcher.

You should tell those people who keeps on joining bounty campaign that offers good deal which will turn out to be a scam at the end. I think it's up to the user to research first the project before joining to make sure it will worth the effort. Some users are even dumb to join an obviously scam project and just spam all over the forum.
Which clearly means that it's their fault and they are the one to blame, they tend to trust and believe a project without even researching various of information and details regarding that specific project. It's the reason why they end up losing everything and feeling remorse because they choose to disregard doing their own exploration knowing that it can help them determine if a project is worth it and profitable. It's difficult to get rid of scam especially these days that scammers are being wiser, they will always look for an opportunity to deceive people who doesn't have enough knowledge on protecting and securing their funds. They will make them believe with their words and promises, however newbies just let themselves believe it without having an assurance that their investment will be beneficial. They never change their mindsets when it comes to money, they don't realize that scammers are capable on doing anything for the sake of money and if they made a mistake then it can have a huge impact on their investment. It's the reason why we need to be cautious because we can't easily guarantee if it's intention was good, we need to analyze every decision that we are making or else we will end up with nothing.

Famous best quote for Newbies.
"If it's too good to be true, then it's probably not true (scam)"

This is why it's also important to use privacy leaning browsers and search engines like Duckduckgo. If you search about crypto in privacy mode, google won't be able to know were your interest lies and therefore crypto ads some of which are scams and ponzi schemes won't be targeted to you.
It's usually the problem with newbies these days, they tend to trust and believe something without analyzing how it will made an impact on their personal information and funds. They did not realized that they are getting derived by it's words which is completely full of sweet lies, it's just means that sometimes we're also the reason why we are ending up losing everything because of one mistake. Greediness can change someone's perception on everything particularly when it comes to money, people will surely grab an opportunity if it seems beneficial bu they don't think the possible outcomes of their own decisions. Newbies should always remember that quote because it will serve as guide on them, it will help them be cautious and attentive.

A bad experience with getting a spyware or other type of virus that intrudes your computer have a big impact especially for newbies who are just getting started. Losing all your crypto funds due to not paying attention to small.things could frustrate the hell out of some people.

I have always thought that "better be safe than sorry" is a very good proverb. It doesn't cost that much to do a little bit of research on how to protect your identity and belongings in the digital world.
Besides, it is our responsibility to assure that our funds are safe and secured. It's the reason why newbies should learn how to do a proper research because it can help them determine various of information and details regarding that specific site. It's kind of difficult and laborious but it will guide them on finding which site is safe, though the problem is that some of them chooses to disregard the power of research. They don't analyze every single decision and action that they are making, they just keep on visiting a website without even thinking how it can affect their funds as well as their private information. They will just end up feeling remorse if they don't acquire from their experiences, especially that some of them doesn't even have an idea that they are getting deceived and played.
