>that 30 years old boomer that invested in bitcoin early.
Of all my acquaintances that are into crypto or bitcoin, the youngest would be in mid 20s and the rest are in 30s or more. It is not really hard to guess since back in the year 2000s with most of us are teenagers who got plenty of time and nothing to do, searching over the internet for the ways to making money.

I think I can agree with your point about crypto doesn't be affected much by the COVID-19. Tho, the people's trust in the banking system still the same. Just amidst the COVID-19, many people looking for a new way to invest their money, and somehow, crypto shine and show its worth around that time. After this COVID end, I think many of those people will stay and will help crypto become even more mainstream.

You can not send ETH to a wrong address cause everyone is just copying and paste so it is very unlikely you got a wrong address. Wrong contact address maybe. If that was a case then I would send it right back since he have to know me.

So people make common mistakes and fall for obvious scams are usually newbies or just someone greedy? How about both? Lack of knowledge but only greed is sure the only type of people falls for obvious scams like this. I wouldn't call them as victims since they clearly brought this upon themself. If you don't have the proper knowledge of some new and strange things, you should feel scared and avoided it.

I don't think any good and promising project wants to push their luck and going for ICO as there is IEO and everyone prefers to use it. Sure since they were the project with real-life worth but that doesn't mean there is no risk when investing in them (look up unicorn startup).

Stay away from any centralized wallets is the first thing every newbie need to do it. I saw too many newbies thought a normal client wallet is too hassle and complicate for them so they just make a centralized wallet and be done with it. Big mistake at latter when they don't have the pvt key for their wallet.

I holding a lot of ETH right now but well, I bet everyone already know the reason why so I want to talk about Digibyte holding. They are very cheap and fast in transaction speed so in my opinion, it could become the next doge or litcoin.

True, people are too hash with anything with the predictions in their name but indicators are just a tool, nothing more. It's up to us to use and utilize its feature for our benefit.

When the market in the downtrend, you should invest one or two coins that you think will have a strong come back become of its potential. This makes a lot of bad coins try to mask their decline with over hype their potential. Anyway, everyone should do a research carefully even when the market in the downtrend to make sure coins did fall become of it, not something else like bad dev, bad algo,...

My experience with self-moderated thread is very normal like any other thread. The only one that got remove or delete is usually off-topic or spam without any contribution to the thread. Most bounty thread today are just filled with weekly report posts so even if they are self-moderated, no one seriously uses it for any discussion.

Although they're right about how pandemic has affected the world's economy but that's something everyone can guess. So don't trust any so-called expect so easily because crypto market is unpredictable. See, they're already wrong cause we now have some improvement on the market.

I do my own research and get information from a trusted source or expert. From my viewpoint, those are much more reliable than ratting agencies if those sources have a high reputation.

I never believe in any trader faulting their wealth and saying trading is easy. No, it isn't and you need to be very serious when making trader as your job. Don't trade the amount you can't afford to lose to let you a bit better when under the pressure.

People are blindly seeing how much it could increase more cause of the positive while not for the negative of decreasing. Though in some rare cases, the coin didn't reach the full potential for its price yet so people don't want to miss out.

If everyone cash out their crypto to USDT, the whole market and USDT would be crashed since no way they have enough fiat to really back up USDT. Never look at USDT as it can completely ensure the 1:1 USDT rate exchange for the total cap market.

If cryptocurrency disappeared, well we just back like the old day like around 2000 but the technology still the same for every other sector. I don't think it would be a huge impact on our life after all now thinking about it.

I can't say the specific number of my bounty earning since I don't want to be data mining. The highest would be my last bounty since I got lucky cause no one participate in it so my stake is quite high. After all the bad things at the end and early of 2019 - 2020, maybe the market will be back to normal.

At least, we can reduce the amount of loss even with selling in this period if we holding good cryptos like BTC and ETH. It less likely to get low and have a good potential to come higher after all bad things blow over.

The scarcity, difficult driven by algorithms will always make cryptocurrencies are something special. We talked about how it could replace fiat but fail to mention its variable characteristics. I think you're right about it when compare between crypto and fiat.

Took them long enough to realize something big going happen to ETH and now everyone wants to have a piece of it. ETH 2.0 with all its features will make ETH become unique and allow it to leave the name 'just another altcoin' for good.
