Hey
zasad@,
You had already sent me a PM in October. with the request for an interview.
Really sorry for the delay, now I finally made it, and here it is
:
1. When and why did you become interested in cryptocurrencies?As far as I remember, this should have been in early 2013. It was definitely an article on the Internet about Bitcoin. I found it very interesting at the time.
But due to a lack of free time and because of the completion of my diploma, I unfortunately did not pursue the topic further...
2. When and why did you buy your first bitcoin?
In the year 2014 at a price around 400€ per Bitcoin.
I have read some articles again, and this time I started to deal with it also from a technical point of view to understand Bitcoin and Blockchain.
3. How did you get on the forum?
That was to my research on Bitcoin at the Beginning of the year 2014 and the fact that Satoshi was active here, until his disappearance from the scene.
Some interesting information can be found in his posts...
In the beginning it was really only for research purposes, but I also came across Shitcoins, which were still based almost entirely on Bitcoin!
4.1. What prevents mass adoption of cryptocurrencies?Shitcoins and Shit-Tokens! (
@qwk and
@1miau)
And with many people the fear of new things. Of the unknown... And because in the early days Bitcoin was also known as the currency of the criminals.
But I think we are now on the right way.
4.2. How do you think mass advertising of gambling projects has a positive effect on the development of the forum or harms the community?Oh well, I really don't see it so bad.
If we didn't advertise it here, it would still be visible elsewhere.
But what I find important is to remind people that the bank always wins in the end. And you should only play with money, which you can also lose if necessary...
Exactly the same with investments... they are also only another form of gambling...
4.3. How do you consider whether 2-3 years of experience in cryptocurrency is enough to successfully invest or does an investor need to receive special education?An investor does not need education. An investor needs a certain comprehension and must be willing to read a lot.
In combination with a lucky hand, one investor can be a good investor after 3 months of experience, the other ones only after 3 years and some of them never...
5. What do you think of the current Merit system and signature campaigns? Do they harm the forum?
Well, since I haven't been active for a long time, I only got to know the Merit System about half a year ago.
I cannot complain, I have collected over 400 Merit since I have been active again. And that as said in half a year!
I also think it is true that if you post good posts in the forum and help other users, it is no problem to earn merit.
Sometimes it could be a few more for certain posts...
Many things have changed, not only the Meritsystem what is new...
In the meantime there is even a bearded baby here (
@TheBeardedBaby)
:
6. The most useful forum topic? Most helpful users?The most useful topic or users is not be clearly identified for me. Because many people do their part to make the forum better.
Otherwise of course i say the F.A.Q. in the meta section.
7. 3 things you would implement on the forum?1.- Make it more usable for smartphones
2.- Add missing subboards for some local areas
3.- More special forum-bagdes
8. Do you trade on exchanges or invest in projects?I don't trade much on stock exchanges anymore, only to restructure my portfolio a little bit from time to time...
I have not invested in projects since the ICO-Boom in 2017!
9. Tell a story about your big profit or big loss?2017 was the big time for ICOs.
Among other projects, I invested in Waves, Lisk, Wings Token and some others. With Waves and Lisk I made good profits some time after the start.
I also invested in Tezos, but I prefer to wait a little longer with sell it. There could be something interesting out of it...
To be honest, I have not had a great loss until today...
10. What do you think about the DEFI ecosystem?I don't know what to think about it. I know it's a big topic right now, but so were ICOs in his day.
I don't think it can have any substance for permanent survival on the current scale. And this bubble, just like all the others, will burst soon.
Nevertheless, I think that the one or other certainly make good money with it.
I prefer to stay with Bitcoin and 2-3 other coins, where I see a future.
11. Is your anonymity a vital necessity or precaution?Thank God it is not a survival requirement for me.
But a good precaution that everyone should take as far as they can!
12. The last cryptocurrency book you read?Unfortunately I haven't read a book about cryptocurrency yet, but I read many current blogs and news about cryptocurrencies.
13. Advise 3 cryptocurrencies/tokens for investment in the next 1-2 years?Basically I do not make any recommendations. However, I can say what my favorites are.
Of course Bitcoin, then Tezos and Ethereum.
14. How much will Bitcoin cost at the end of 2020?I think around 20.000€.
15. P.S.:
This topic was really a awesome idea. Thanks for that!
Best Regards and have a nice Day
