pumping shitcoins is super easy. there are also a lot of pumping groups who are waiting for any excuse to pump these low shitcoins because the real profit is as it has always been in pump and dumping shitcoins. that is why we saw such a mssive DOGE pump when they had the "excuse" to pump it.

as for bitcoin, it was not Elon who crashed bitcoin. there were A LOT of reasons why bitcoin crashed. and since you are new i have to tell you that such crashes are very common during the bitcoin bull runs.

- the main reason was that bitcoin had gone up too much and too fast with only small corrections so it needed a "pause" before it co uld rise big again.
- the other reason was because the $65k-$70k prices were too hard to reach and after a couple of attempts they didn't break. so the correction starteed.
- the other reason which contributed a lot was a huge FUD campaign that fooled newcomes into selling their bitcoin by scaring them into thinking: bitcoin's energy consumption is huge (lie), some countries including China are banning bitcoin (another lie), FBI hacked bitcoin (another huge lie), and a lot of crap like that which they used to  keep it down this low.

yet people only see the "celebrity" and associate everything with them!!!

He might not be asking for a news website just to panic. Sometimes you just need to be informed to stay on top of your trading game especially in a highly volatile market like crypto markets. Getting information as soon as it gets out would help to close trades faster especially if it's news that can turn the market direction downwards.

No matter what website you follow to get the newest news, you need to calm down and not panic to see if that news can impact the market soon or just to announce something.

So basically i am collaborating on a project that has enough community support, but not enough funding.

There could be an ICO sale and it would be easy to raise the funds, but we would prefer to raise privately, from well funded investors who can provide additional capital in terms of locking liquidity.

But where does one find those "investors"? Any suggestions?

Hi,

I'm actually here to launch a project. I would like to know which role you're trying to fill.

Right now I have partnered with a strong CTO, our platform is 100% content creation based. I am not releasing the name of the project yet, but we are looking to build a community which will run our nodes.

Eventually we will need a content creation expert as well.

This will not be as easy as you may be thinking.
OP doesn't know to code nor has a team and also don't have a prototype. And also the entrepreneurs should have some own fund to start.

Peoples here are very skeptical and more likely will not invest in a project which is just in an IDEA stage.
That's why I said what I said above and that will be the easiest way to start. If Op can develop a prototype and can show a strong team then there could be a chance of getting investors otherwise not.

It's not 2015-2017 anymore where every ICO got funded, it's 2019 now and people learned their lessons from their past mistakes and now became skeptical.

Though it will be a different case if a coder wants to team up with OP and give life to the idea.

Programming knowledge doesm't matter here, it's more like marketing because nowdays it's pretty easy to create facebook like website, even that would be very shit because you need your own CMS (if we talk about project that wants to achieve anything good in future), huge work on security, a team of professionals and etc. You have to control every content, scan uploaded videos with their id to get rid of copyright issues and so on, this is just basic of what facebook has and this requires huge resources which costs millions + need a team of professionals but still, If you want to achieve something, it's almost impossible on global market because of natural monopoly. Facebook/twitter are most widely used, everything has it's time, it would be easier 10 years ago but now? Still don't understand what do these people think when they have such ambitions. Be crazy in your dreams, that's great but at least be a little realistic, there are dreams which will stay dreams forever. Don't wanted to repost here again but can't understand why realizing of all above things seem so difficult for people.

I have a social network project I had started working on, but never launched it because of a change in Facebook Groups. I have most of the development work done. Contact me on telegram yogeshko or I am on skype Bizteon. My company Bizteon is a Houston Texas based premier IBM Business Partner. So the technology side I can handle.

You don't need a big understanding of programming to be able to create a social media platform. There are lot of options out there for users to chase their dreams. ICO's, crowdfunding, and investors all exist for a reason and don't be scared to use them.

Here's an idea. Create a pitch deck. Put all these ideas you have for the next big social media platform onto paper, add budgeting, how will development work and a timeline. Then go talk to some venture funds, investors or even hold a crowdsale for it. An idea isn't valuable unless there is work put behind it.

Good luck!

From what I have seen so far in this forum and other crypto platforms, most of us want fiat eliminated. But let us not forget that there are still situations whereby we can't use crypto except fiat like in rural places without computers or even internet facilities.

Hello everyone.

When I see there are too many ICO and shitcoins on novaexchange. I keep asking myself: do we really need blockchain technology?

In case of Bitcoin. Of course, I agree.
What about ETH? I agree too.

But, have a look at the others on the market. I don't even know why should people use their service. There is no real use in real life.

An ad management system on blockchain? - We already had Google Ads & Facebook Ads.
A social network on blockchain? (steem) - Do we? I don't see anything but a centralized forum hosted on a random hosting using its currency to pay for the writers.

There are too many projects  that we don't really need it on blockchain.

Sometimes, I think there is a black swan (Blockchain is useless in real life) lurking around.


Please enlighten me.

That comparison chart to other projects highlights the features offered by modern finance chain very well. I remember back at few months ago when it was first planned to go to public. That time hype about it and all the potential and mentioning of that time still is valid and very much intact. We need more quality platform to compete with one another to provide us quality services from their race to perform more better.

Why People Choose Cryptocurrency? Any Need?
We are into commodity trading, and we are building a platform which will support the trade of commodities with cryptos. We are trying  to make commodity trading very easy
That's why New Zone choose cryptocurrency world. It opens up a whole new avenues for everyone.

Now I am focusing to invest in ICOs. As a regular bounty hunter, I can realize which ICO is good and which is bad. Because I follow the most trustful ICO rating website Icobench, I have enough time to read project's whitepaper and look after at their community activity. But recently I realized Icobench's rating is not everything! I want to mention some ICOs name that had an impressive positive rating! But they couldn't raise even 1 Million USD! A project like FTEC, Enkidu can be a good example. What is the reason here?

When you invest in ICOs, what thing you take seriously?
