Still no distribution of bounty from BitcoinTalk bounty, what's going on? No updates or anything.

Biggest risk you have is all the people that got in late 2018 now seeing it hit levels where they're willing to cash out after seeing it slump massively before. It could just as easily rebound back down to all time lows.

He's an idiot, it might do the community some good as anything he says is rubbish alot of people are skeptical and will do their own research. Yeah I know there's half of the population in USA that won't but any new audience is good.

Because the amount of money I'd make on it now, is pennies compared to the potential pounds I could make in a few years if it goes exponential.

I normally check out the legendary status post history, if it's purely only promoting new bounties I tend to stay clear as they're most likely just hoping from any old project to the next without actively taking part in the rest of the forum.

That's good that it's possible I guess the biggest question would be why? What's the use cases for people creating their own block chain. Those are the sort of lessons that need to be taught.

I thought centralized exchanges were a mix of the two aka their often just a front end GUI to interact with multiple decentralized exchanges?

I know there is some platforms that are purely centralized but I'd have thought the majority were still DEX

I can see more exchanges adopting it, not because of KYC but because of the increasing adoption of Microsoft B2C. What would you rather, option A - a new exchange trying to implement it's own secure authentication mechanism in which a single flaw compromises all your tokens and thousands of other users or B) utilizing one already created by a world leading company?

You could argue anyone capable of coding an exchange should already know what their doing but it's one less thing for them to have to worry about when developing.

With Crypto ICOs you see how many companies fail, it's probably similar success hit rates with real companies you just never see them because they've gone bust before you even had a chance to hear about them.

I honestly think it's going to take a big mobile phone supplier to have a crypto app payment method built in to seriously get things moving. The more big companies considering security I don't think it's beyond the impossible to happen.

Did anyone actually get any bounty on this? It ended ages ago and never received my tokens.

I did look into it at one point but found that
A) I missed the boat with all the legitimate looking coins which now require thousands to invest before being eligible with the amount of tokens required
B) A ton of shitcoins had sprung up offering masternodes with no other benefit to the currency and was just a scam praying on people being interested in masternodes

Companies file patents all the time doesn't mean they're going to do anything with it. Check out all the patents that Nintendo register each year

There's been too many and very little results so people have lost confidence. Problem is any legitimate ones now are going to struggle to get backing.

Sold all my PundiX coins soon as price started dropping slightly only for them to go 10x about 4 days later. Was absolutely gutted.

Even if it turns out to be a scam people will continue to use it. It's like the early days of a pyramid scheme those that use it and get out before it bursts will profit or reap the rewards (easy currency conversion during downtrends). But if you get left holding when it inevitably crashes they'll be worthless.

Wait until eth falls below $300 then jump back in with both feet and wait for price to climb again. It definitely feels like we're in a down turn at the moment, not many news outlets are talking about Crypto anymore. It's like the buzz has died.

There's no sure way of finding an ICO that'll give 3/5x returns otherwise we'd all be millionaires. Every single one is a complete gamble no matter how much research you do, all you can do is have better odds with your gamble.

Wow that's a significant amount of money, out of interest did you invest it all initially in April in one go or has this been a slow build up over time?

You should only invest in crypto what your prepared to lose because it is just playing the stocks at the end of the day. Major coins have gone from hero to zero in a matter of minutes, Bitconnnnnnnnnnnnnect for example. Without doing proper research people would have saw them as a top 10 coin and got burnt badly. Splitting your portfolio into different coins is a good strategy now just keep calm and hodl.

For the bigger ICOs they normally have an some threads before hand you can join and just keep tabs on discussions of other by viewing new replies to your posts if you posted in the thread already. If your after smaller ICOs then just monitor most recent started topics in that area.
