Hey all,

I’m conducting a research on cryptocurrencies and I’m especially interested in why people choose Bitcoin. And since you are bitcoin users/experts, I thought you would be the best people to ask. It would be great if you could take the time to answer my questions (anonymously), I promise it will take no more than 10 minutes.

Thank you.

The number of successful ICO's are decreasing dramatically.  Just wanna know about successful ICO's in the fourth quarter of 2017 and if anybody still believes in  ICO's.

hello guys, i found bountyhive this day and i found out that i need to login my facebook account or twitter account inside the website in able for them to count my stakes. Does anyone using bountyhive here ? what are your thoughts ? is it safe ?

Hello everyone!

Today I've read a couple of articles and I've noticed that the most people are used to label each ICO as a scam. That is not fair, I know. Especially when you work in a startup launching ICO and do your best to make a project successful. However, having worked in ICO industry I learned how to recognize a scam just from one conversation with a Founder. I don't know how to explain this feeling. Probably, my subconscious translates knowledge, but I could not say a have a large experience.

So I decided to make a list of scam signs: (and this is just my own opinion)

- A founder and a team are not open.

Talking with a founder is always nice. They are usually full of energy and ready to talk about their project for hours. No matter how tired he/she is: when one is asking about a project, a founder starts talking about it with eyes burn with a fire. No matter who you are. When a founder deflects, tries to escape and avoids it makes you think that he/she just can't tell you anything important. What is more, it is crucial talking to a team. When a team member doesn't know how to answer a simple question about a product, it is also a bad sign.

In case of the lack of opportunity to visit an event and to talk to a team, you always can contact a founder and a team online. They should be open and answer patiently all your difficult questions. Even if you ask it every minute.

- Spending a lot of money on marketing isn't always show professionalism.

Just think. A company needs ICO to raise money for a company development. Isn't it a little bit queerly when an unknown company is too fancy. How? And Why? Why do they need ICO if they already have money on expensive advertisement? I don't know too  

- You know nothing about a founder. And you cant find any information about him/her.

Always google the founder. Always. And now I'm not talking about his/her FB page. I'm talking about his experience, education, photos, events he took part in. A founder should not be a mysterious person who came from nowhere. His background should be open to everyone.

- They don't have a readymade product.

Let's make a sober recognition. The competition is high. In the end of 2017 - the beginning of 2018 you just can't appear with an idea and ask for money. You need to develop your product before ICO. It should not be an amazing one. It could be just prototype. But investors need something real. They need to touch and try your product. However, just 16% of all ICO has a product.

And what do you think about it? What are your signs of a scam?

Analyze bountys like investors. The main criterias

2.Clear goal

5.Concept
6.Team
7.Distribution of tokens
I'm  working with the German project Vreo.io They are doing dynamic in-game advertising. They are going to create marketplace for developers and advertisers.Developers of small games can attract investments and create high-quality products, for advertisers this project will be useful due to the expansion of advertising opportunities and selected target audience, and gamers will be able to receive quality products cheaper, besides they also receive income from the ads they watched, without interrupting the gameplay. Here is their link at bitcointalk https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2898738.msg29810876#msg29810876 Telegram grp https://t.me/vreoico

The advantages of the portal:
1. There is no report.
2. Many companies.
3. The payment is more or less on time.
4. Good support in the Telegram.

Disadvantages of the portal:
1. No transparency, can not see the intermediate calculations, are not visible to the participants.
2. Reject participation only at the end of the company.
3. Very high requirements to the written articles. Most are rejected. There are no clear content requirements.
4. Sooo many participants, and therefore meager payments.

They just awesome in my opinion, no report needed in thread that makemy account less spam, no late payment, but you have to be the fastest person to register, cause they have 30k active member and the campaign slot is ussualy limited to 3k until7k people

i invested in 3 ico but they all make me uprooted.
1. ATFS
2. BEZOP
3. LEDU
and i think this ico causes bitcoin and etherium prices to drop.never trust again to ico.

how the technology and gadgets are affecting the mind and health of people. is it in more negative way or is it in positive way??

I've noticed a lot of students been struggling in choosing what course to take in college. Do you have any tips for it?

What do you think is the biggest problem of your country.

As per my thinking in my country Pakistan energy crisis and VIP culture is the biggest problem. If you are from my country then what do you think is the biggest problem and how can be overcome or remove this from our society.

What are necessary steps that one should take to eradicate the problems of their country.

I am thinking how to prepare for death and passing assets to others.

I have a number of bank accounts, physical commodities and of course alt coins.

How do I make sure that when I die, these all get collected by my family? Of course I know about wills, but this is a new world with wallets and bank accounts in multiple countries.

Cheers

Thank you😁

I'm trying to become a sportsman, how about y'all?

how to remain positive in times of difficult situations where there is very little hope for positivity???

I read the other post from newbies asking about how to join a campaign, can newbie join a campaign and is there a campaign for newbie.

So what is the best thing to do as newbie, is it finding a campaign to join or learning first until we become a Jr member?
Because in my own opinion much better if we should learn first here before joining. Since we are newbies our knowledge is not enough to make a quality post. This is just my opinion.
What can you say about this?

I believe bitcoin will increase that's why I keep purchase bitcoin every month and keep hold it rather than short term trading.
It's quite risky if you trade bitcoin in short term because the value still too volatile.

Overall if you do not ready to lose, better stay away from bitcoin trading !

being rich? have a good relationship? become a company boss? successful completion of high education?? or there' another definition of success? tell me about you opinion.
