Cryptocurrency Trading / Do Not be Greedy

« on: August 31, 2018, 10:14:19 PM »

In my opinion, the best time to sell is when the market price of the coin is 20%+ higher than the market price at which you bought the coin. Dont wait till the market price is 95%+ before you sell. That only happens when you got your eyes glues to your machine 24/7. Dont be greedy... Make a little profit and grow it over time. Cryptomarket is growing and full of terror! Be careful

Cryptocurrency discussions / Do still fancy Airdrops?

« on: August 24, 2018, 11:52:41 PM »

When i was newly introduced into the cryptoworld, bounty and airdrop business, Airdrop was one of my favorite way of making some real cash. I use to spend approximately 3 hours on airdrop. But now i have become super busy with some signature and article projects that i spend very less time to view airdrop sites. Today, i was wondering if many of us still fancy participating in Airdrop.

Cryptocurrency discussions / If you are too Scared to Loss, then you are not cut out to win as well!

« on: August 23, 2018, 10:37:44 PM »

The recent poor market trend has got many posting and expressing their anxiety about when the market will recover. Posts like:
1. Bitcoin is dying! Ethereum is falling!,
2. Altcoins are crying!,
3. Should i sell or Hodl my Bitcoin or Altcoin is increasingly becoming a nuisance on this forum.

My brother, if you want to sell., sell! if you want to Hodl..., Hodl! and spare us the sentiment. If you are too scared to sell or Hodl, be generous and dash it to someone for save keeping.

In my brief opinion, If you are too Scared to Loss, then you are not cut out to win as well!

General Discussion / if money didn't exist would you still chase the same dream?

« on: August 20, 2018, 06:03:57 PM »

Often our dream exist because of money, others' opinion or eternal expectations. This takes us away from what will truly bring happiness and fulfillment. And so i wonder to ask, if money didn't exist would you still chase the same dream?

Cryptocurrency Trading / You determine when to lose or make money, Stop Blaming the market

« on: August 14, 2018, 05:11:38 PM »

It pretty troubling to hear people lament day in day out about how the recent market is making then incur significant lost.
Actually, i think that is total nonsensical. There is no lost without cash out during trading. You determine when to loss or make money, not the market.

Take a closer look at this:
If i held 0.1 etheruem during may 2018, when ethereum price was around 700$, it means i had 70$ as at then. But now (August) that etheruem price is at 256$, my 0.1 ether is currently worth 25.6$.

An anxious person will see this and get too scared, and so will decide to go ahead and sell his 0.1 ether on exchange for something like 24$... Obviously this person has incurred significant loss.

However, if i decide to keep my 0.1 ether during this red season and wait till green season where ethereum price shoot to 800+$, I surely will imagine myself making some profit.

Prompt:
Regardless how much of Bitcoin, Ethereum or any other Altcoin you possess, You determine when to loss money or make profit. Stop blaming the market.

Cryptocurrency discussions / How to avoid ICO scam

« on: August 10, 2018, 07:52:49 PM »

Apparently, ICO investors continue to fall prey to innumerable ICO scam. The effect of this is very devastating on investors perception of crypto-project ICOs.
While it appears there is no apparent solution to address the current scam associated with ICO in the crypto space. I propose that we help each other in finding out the best ways to identify and separate genuine ICO from fake ones....
Share your view and help a friend from falling prey to ICO scam. Let help build a healthy crypto environment. Fight the scam now.

Cryptocurrency discussions / Why i will invest in cryptocurrency and forget ICOs.

« on: July 22, 2018, 02:07:18 PM »

This is what i would advice,... Invest in cryptocurrencies listed on coin market cap and forget ICOs.

Reasons:
1. Coins listed on coin market cap are more reliable to invest in than coin yet to be listed on coin market cap/being offered during initial sales.
2. Lately most ICOs are scam.
3. Lately most ICOs do not reach their soft cap. Hence, chances are, you may either get you money back same or depreciated or loss it entirely
4. Coins listed on coin market cap have been listed on most trading sites. Hence, you get the chance to participate in any form of trading you desire.

Buttom line
When you invest in an altcoin that has already been around it means you have some history to work with.
For example an altcoin that has been around for at least a couple of weeks has an established market and a nice chart that you can look at to see the volumes, the current price and the changes of it throughout all its lifetime,... And you can use all that to analyze the coin and make a better investment decision and reduce the risks of your investment.

Caution:
Before you invest in a particular coin listed on coin market cap
1. Take a careful look at the price graph of coins and decide which coin interest you
2. Read more about how to invest in your desired coin. the pros and cons.
3. Work your way out to make your first investment.

Before you invest in an ICO,
1. Gain indepth knowledge about every aspect of the Project
2. Ask yourself whether the Project is worth your investment?.
3. Ask yourself would other people have interest in the project?
4. Ask yourself whether, the project has greater chance of hitting it soft and hard cap during token sale?
5. Measure your level of suspicion of scam behind the project.

Remember: if soft cap is not achieved the project becomes unsuccessful, Hence your investment might be interrupted
If soft cap and hard cap are achieved, probability of the team running away with your money is pretty high.
Therefore becareful the kinda ICOs you invest in

The above is entirely my opinion. Please share yours below if you agree or disagree

Bitcoin Forum / Should i buy Bitcoin before any other coin?

« on: July 19, 2018, 12:57:21 PM »

Litecoin founder Charlie Lee has recently advised investors and cryptocurrency enthusiasts to first by at least one Bitcoin before diving in to purchase altcoins via his Twitter account and I quote

“There will be at most 21 million Bitcoins in existence. There isn’t even enough BTC to go around for EVERY millionaire to own one. So before you buy any other coin (LTC included), try to own at least 1 BTC first. Once you have 1 BTC, buy all the s***coins you want!”

Whats your advice?

Bitcoin Forum / What caused the sudden astronomical spike in Bitcoin price?

« on: July 19, 2018, 12:23:25 AM »

Couple of days ago, I laid emphasis on how Bitcoin is being treated mainly as a Store of value than a currency necessary for necessary for transferring money over the internet via a decentralized network. My post welcomed diverse and interesting viewpoints about Bitcoin Utility. With many claiming that Bitcoin has “Subjective use”.

While my post has not yet chopped a week it appears my assertion about Bitcoin being used mainly as a Store of Value or Investment was true after all.

Reasons!!
All of a sudden Bitcoin price spikes from 6.5K to almost 7.4 + K on 17th of July, 2018. The price is currently exchanging above $7,400 and is aiming for $7,500 in the short-term.

Effect on Investors
1.Investors who sold their Bitcoin when the market was red are probably cursing and wetting their pillows now with tears.
2.Investors who held onto their Bitcoin with the hope of it rising are also probably twice as excited to earn outrageous profit on their investment.

Effect on the Ordinary/ Ideal Bitcoin USER.
1.The ordinary person cannot purchase the coin to conduct a simple over the internet
2.The ordinary person cannot trade in Bitcoin, because fees associated with exchanges increases with increasing price of Bitcoin.
3.The ordinary person will perceive Bitcoin to be used mainly for investment by those who can afford.
4.These and among others.

If Bitcoin is not influenced by monetary policy, inflation rates and economic growth measurements, what explains Bitcoin’s sudden rise in price?

My Opinion
In my opinion, I believe that, in spite of factors such as
1.Supply and Demand of Bitcoin
2.Number of competing cryptocurrencies
3Regulations governing it sale
4.Number of exchanges it trades on.

Identified to have significant influence on the market price of Bitcoin, I largely attribute this astronomical spike in Bitcoin price to its INTERNAL GOVERNANCE.

Personal Quote
If the people in charge want to make a fool of you, they suddenly DUMP the coin so you sell the little you have been holding onto, so that bigger fish can purchase and add up to their funds.
If the people in charge want to make the bigger fishers smile, they suddenly PUMP to a market price that will yield outrageous profits
Internal governance decides and regulates demand and supply, so demand and supply bullshit is out of context now.

Internal governance obviously defines the regulations that governing the sale of the Bitcoin, hence regulation governing sale is no factor to talk about
Number of competing currencies and number of exchanges it trades on obviously has no strong sale in Bitcoin price. This is because
1.Bitcoin price affect any competing currency
2.Bitcoin price determine the charges associated with Bitcoin transaction on exchanges.

The above is entirely my opinion, Help me learn more if you disagree or agree.

Tokens/Coins Offerings (ICO, IEO, etc.) / Quadrant Protocol

« on: July 18, 2018, 07:44:41 PM »

With the increasing problems facing today’s data economy, Quadrant, a blockchain-based protocol emerges with feasible and sustainable solutions to address these problems and ensure efficient utilization of decentralized data by all parties.

Challenges faced by current data economy.
1.Companies do not have equal access to data necessary to stir AI innovation, solve bigger problems and produce better products.
2.Increase amount of fake and unauthentic data in the data ecosystem
3.Unfair revenue distribution among data producers and vendors

Solutions that Quadrant presents.
Quadrant intends to leverage Blockchain technology to create an ecosystem/protocol that runs on a Proof of Authority consensus mechanism, to address the above mentioned challenges facing current data economy.

1.To ensure that companies have equal access to data necessary to inspire AI innovation, solve bigger problems and produce better products, Quadrant intends to leverage the concept of “Constellations”, an important feature of the Quadrant protocol, to gather disparate data sources and make them easily accessible to Data Consumers in the data ecosystem.
With Quadrant constellation, every data consumer will have equal access to all type of data needed at any time.

2.To reduce and extinct fake and unauthenticated data in the data ecosystem, Quadrant intends to publicly stamp all data generated to allow data consumers the chance to verify the originality of the data purchased and resolve any issues that might arise from unmatched data.
The concept of stamping of data, is to ensure that the origin of data sources are always known so as to promote data authenticity and provenance.

3.To ensure fair remuneration and incentive sharing among data producers and vendors, Quadrant intends to leverage it Constellations to assist data vendors determine exactly how much an original data producer deserve per each data generated.
With Quadrant Constellation, original data producers will their deserving remuneration without a involving a third party.

Quadrant protocol consists mainly of the core Quadrant blockchain, clients (Data Producer, Data Consumer and Anchor), and Guardian Nodes. On this protocol/network, QUAD, a utility token will be used to serve as a “fuel” to power the network. It main purpose will be for stamping data, supporting simple and complex access structures, simple and complex subscription payment, among others all on the Quadrant network.

In order to achieve its goal of being the blue print that map and ensure efficient utilization of decentralized data, Quadrant is issuing an Ethereum based token different from its utility token, called eQuad, to all prospective investors/angels interested in its projects in order to attain funds needed to fully develop a functional blockchain technology need to address the current issues the data economy.

« on: July 02, 2018, 03:31:09 PM »

Tokens/Coins Offerings (ICO, IEO, etc.) / A review on Global Shared Container Platform and ICO

« on: June 25, 2018, 01:44:06 PM »

The Global Shared Container Platform (GSCP) is a blockchain-based platform powered by Blockshipping and designed to increase efficiency and improve key processes involved in the global handling of containers in the container shipping industry.

How?
Global Shared Container Platform intends to increase efficiency and improve key processes involved in the handling of containers by providing the global container industry with an efficient blockchain enabled container asset registry, where the full global inventory of containers - (estimated to be more than 27 million units by the [Worldshipping](http://www.worldshipping.org/about-the-industry/containers/global-containe-fleet) )- will be registered along with real time location of every single container across the globe.

With this highly innovative project, GSCP is expected to (1) enable the container shipping industry to realize a saving potential to the tune of USD 5.7 billion per year and (2) reduce the global environmental impact of 4.6 million tons of carbon dioxide annually, according to analysis conducted by the [Scandinavian-based consultancy Opsiana](http://opsiana.com/) and several articles, reports, and books from the internationally renowned shipping [Experts](http://www.emeraldinsight.com/doi/full/10.1108/MABR-10-2016-0030) and [Analysts](https://www.bcg.com/publications/2016/transport-travel-tourism-bringing-sharing-economy-to-shipping.aspx)

GSCP Goal and Vision
According to GSCP, its goal within three to four years is to achieve a 60% market coverage with 16 million containers units in the GSCP blockchain registry. However, its envision itself as
1.The Primary Registry and Operational Payment Platform for the global container fleet
2.The Primary Platform for Managing Operational Payments clearing between stakeholders related to physical handling, haulage and sharing of containers
3.The Global Shipping Industry Primary IOT Platform for real time tracking of containers.

>IOT simply means Internet of things, hence GSCP platform is expected to be the primary internet of things platform for the global shipping industry.

In order to ensure that GSCP’s goal and vision are well attained, Blockshipping is launching an ICO for GSCP, with the aim of raising enough funds for GSCP development and acquisition of Commercial of-the-shelf (COTS) software and frameworks needed to be integrated into GSCP to ensure the full functionality of GSCP’s blockchain enabled container asset registry.

>GSCP ICO is the first Nordic shipping-related ICO to be based a new Danish ICO framework called The ICO 2.0 Framework

Also, in order to ensure absolute and sustainable functioning of GSCP’s blockchain enabled container asset registry, and to maintain the value and the originality of GSCP utility token, Blockshipping has created two separate tokens namely
1.The Container Crypto Coin (CCC), an Ethereum-based external Revenue Shared token/crypto currency, which will be sold publicly during the ICO and traded subsequently on various exchanges across the crypto market.
2.The Container Platform Token (CPT), an internal utility token, which will be used for all forms of transactions (to pay fees for using the GSCP platform, for clearing and settlement between GSCP participants) on the private GSCP blockchain by GSCP participants.

Find detail information about the characteristic and utility of these tokens on pages 27-30 of [Blockshipping Whitepaper](https://www.blockshipping.io/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Blockshipping_GSCP_ICO_White_Paper_publ)

Good news
>1. The internal token (CPT) is intended to support the value of external token on public Ethereum blockchain by sharing revenue generated by the transaction volume in the internal system on the GSCP platform with the external token owners
>2. ICO contributors will be aloowed to sell their Container Crypyo Coins (CCC) back to the GSCP's platform at a floor price until Blockshipping has met certain milestones.

In the light of this, it might interest you know that Blockshipping ICO for GSCP is currently ongoing at [Blockshipping Official website](https://www.blockshipping.io) and it is expected to end on the 31st of August, 2018. To participate, I advise you read more about this project [here](No links to other forumsindex.php?topic=3502572.new#new) and [here](https://www.blockshipping.io/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Blockshipping_GSCP_ICO_White_Paper_publ), as well as watch the video compiled by Blockshipping below. After, you may then proceed to [Blockshipping Official website](https://www.blockshipping.io) to participate and contribute significantly in support of this project.
