Do we have an impact?

[bandar]

I wonder.    It looks like the people posting here don't have that much btc/cash/funds and are almost all small fish.  One of the reasons is of course the bounty hunters.  People with >100btc don't need bounties.  People with >1000btc don't need this forum lol...  So I wonder, all the fud, shilling etc here.  Does it really have an impact on prices?  I tend to believe we are all manipulated big time by real whales with 100's and 1000's of btc.  If a group of eth hodlers of several 100k eth decide together: let's go down today, then we will go down. When prices are down enough they decide to go up.  Thoughts? This pattern is the most obvious on reall small exchanges with bullshit coins.  Look at some of them!  You KNOW they are worth nothing and all of a sudden they moon and drop.

How can you tell that having 100 bitcoin don't need to do bounties? there are many poster and hunters before that has no money but with this forum, they bag some gold coins and now that they have more than 100 bitcoin, why do they need to stop? Remember that bounties are just free of money and time consuming but you will never lose any amount and will continue to gain. If someone has 1000 bitcoin here, I think they will go more on bounties and maybe some of them are campaign managers no.

Your thougts are right,most of the people who has huge amount of bitcoins doesnt need this forum but the bounties isnt all about the money,its about promoting a good project that has potentials in the future,i have a friend which has 1,500 bitcoins but still he is joining bounties and ICO investment because he know it is an extra source of cash which is true,about the market manipulations these big players,i am not talking about whales im talking about bigger players which consists financial institutions like CME and Wallstreet are indeed manipulating the market,they will spread some FUDs causing people to do panic selling which they are intended to achieve so they can get a good entry point with lower coin's prices that tha usual then will sell it on peaks and then re-peat the process,they are making billons of dollars by only making some panic at the market.

I would like to think that we are making impact, otherwise why are we doing it? But the truth is, that I don't really know if make impact or not.

Let's get philosophical on this one.  It's not because we ARE doing it that it has to have a meaning or a reason or an impact.  The fact that there is a massive wave of broadcasting the buzz around crypto's with massive gains and armies of bountyhunters spamming the hell out of youtube/twitter/telegram attracting 100k of others DOESN'T mean they have an impact on prices.  The have an impact on new money entering the field, but that could be it.  Look at what happened the last few months: massive influx in crypto.  All believing it always goes up.  Then all of a sudden -70% on everything.  Now that is some massive cashing out of some people.  Now the whole party will start again nut do the small investors, all these uncles and fathers of nerds who 'don't want to miss that boat' who entered with 1k USD really have an impact by posting 'eth is gonna moon' here?  I doubt it...

Whales are still here because they are interested in crypto - that is how they became whales! This is a good place to learn about both bitcoin and altcoins so why not still visit and continue trading. It can be addictive, and in a bear market like now they are primed and ready to buy up as much as possible. For this reason the market will rise quickly. The smaller traders still have an impact, we are many and they are few so do not underestimate us

[99th]

I believe we do have an impact, even if a small one. I also believe that many whales read this forum every day. I mean come on...Satoshi started this forum and Buterin has the Eth launch thread still here. Don't be fooled, this is where the big waves come from - from the people behind the keyboards on bitcointalk.

[gantez]

It is clear that this forum and we are making big impact. The forum is also widely spread and reaching. If not for this forum, I wouldn't have been aware of bitcoin today. We members are also  putting our best to bring up a post that is reasonable and also sound both in content and otherwise.

[Blas]

I think we have impact. May be not on the wealthiest of investors, but at least we are helping the projects raise money and get on track.

Yes, it does and why not? The power of community can make everyone feel panic caused by FUD. But there is a lot of small fish in the crypto. But it seems to be alright if the whales are playing a significant role in the market.

The whales still dominating the market, while some whales are dumping all of their money worth million dollars to the market and then small fish was feeling stressed.

And they are following the dump.

[bimbie]

I think we have an impact by promoting the bounty projects even in a small way in that way we are contributing an effort to the project to become successful.

[bornforfreedom]

There are some pretty big whales on here. It's a great forum to keep up to date and compared to reddit, the shilling is way less here lol. You find out about really good projects like Polymath on here and that's why people stick to this forum.

[neuralstar]

If everyone on earth put 1 dollar in bitcoin. It will grow another 10%

[bitcub]

Not all bounty catchers are beggars lols.  Some of them are actually already with 6 figure money. Actually I my self buy from ICO, specially if the project is good. I am currently working and I seldom sell the coins I got from bounties since few months ago.  Coins I got are already worth 5x of its self by just holding it.

You are right, we are just small fish in the market,  but our community has strong impacts around the world, whales and young investors still getting around our topic to get more knowledge and informations around us. Moreover it may be true to say when we can have impact on the ICOs, they need us to bring promotions for their project to get attentions from community. so in some specific circumstances the price of a coin can be effect by our community.

[dimastegar]

Yes, even though many investors feel disadvantaged because of Bounty Hunter. I do not think so, because we as bounty hunter work to promote a project in the hope that all projects run successfully, in our way as Bounty hunter. So, I do not think investors should worry.

[Jobbernowl]

Sometimes I look at the graphs of random coins that I do not know about. And sometimes I see such long growth candles that I start google. What project? What news? What is the reason for the growth? And what in the end? Nothing. The project is some kind of stupidity. The price increase is only a game of whales and a trap for beginners. That is life.

About bounty. I really pay attention to the signatures. I can not say that I'm running right away and buy if the signature is from the Legendary. Of course not. But there are good projects that I did not know about. Often when clicking on a link, it turns out that the white list is already closed. I think that in the bounty signature on the forum makes sense.

[Leocrypto da Vinci]

Well, we are like ants moving in a field where elephants are fighting.
We don't have any impact, we can only watch carefully where elephants legs will fall, just to not be there in the wrong moment :-)
But sometime we can catch something lost by an elephant and to become rich.

Why do you think bitcointalk forum is the equivalent of bounty?
Posts in this forum, every day still have a lot of technician chat on technology, because the early investment bitcoin and join the bounty threads, they make a lot of BTC, but that doesn't mean they can't continue.

[moonriver]

I have been using bitcointalk since late 2013.
There is no doubt that it is the most influential forum in cryptocurrency space.
