I kept wondering about this same question today and I decided to ask it in a WhatsApp group I am in, some people are speculating that it was the Bitcoin Cash fork but I doubt that because it wasn't a negative news, to be honest nobody expected the sudden plunge, nothing triggered it.

I have been in this crypto space for a long time and one thing I can say with all certainty is that the market is very hard to predict, all we can do is wish and hope but I definitely wish and hope that there would be a massive bullrun this December.

I think they did this because of the minting saga that rocked the crypto recently and saw people all over the world dumping the coin because they suspected foul play.

Tether is made as a stablecoin, it is for those who want to hold crypto for a while but do not want the dollar value of their tokens to change, I use tether a lot especially when I sense that there would be a downward spiral in the market, I convert to tether and after the reduction in prices, I buy back a higher number of tokens at the same dollar price.

This is a first of it's kind and I applaud the admins of Altcoins for such an innovative idea, this would go a long way to reduce the rate of spam and cheating in airdrops and bounties.

Yes, Altcoinsforum is quite new and many bounty managers do not accept it yet but if we the community members can join hands together and get more people involved, this situation would change soon.

Hmm.. I heard that dogecoin was initially invented as a tipping coin, but I guess they have seen that it isn't really a viable usecases for mass adoption so they are changing it.

It took just a couple of days for my account to be activated but for some of my friends, it took as much as three weeks for their accounts to be activated so the time varies for everybody.
