I agree with you to some extent and the remaining days of the years may not show us any serious bull run. Investing in stocks and cryptocurrencies this year is not all that favorable and bitcoin is the most hit.  We are the time when it seems another financial crisis is about to commence and since this is just the beginning we can not really tell if cryptocurrencies market will be the most hit or if cryptocurrencies market will benefit.

[/quote]This is criminal act and I think it deal with individual but some people will should relate to the fraud in cryptocurrencies.  This type of people can hack and manipulate coins to there favour if he has the means.
Those that got blessings and make it big in minining treat it as a business and not in the way he has done.  Why putting the cost of electricity which is the major cost on the school that still pay you for your job?  This is really wickedness and I think he should be punish as criminals.
Are you supporting what he has done?  I believe what he did is evil and stealing as the school did not support that.

The most important features or characteristics that I have see and understand is decentraliziation!  Bitcoin is decentralized and that makes me and you to become our own bank.  Humanity has never had this type of technology before were I can pay for goods and services without a third party knowledge.  This is the most beautiful thing that has happened in this generation.
Bitcoin through it decentralized nature also provide freedom as the governments has no control over our financial activities and systems and our financial destiny is not going to be controlled by governments laws but by mathematical laws and technology.

It all depends on how much of the bitcoin cash you can hold in the exchanges or wallet that support the hardfork.  Remember that it is this way that other people really makes money in 2017 August when bitcoin core separated with bitcoin cash.  We just need to play smart and make some Money from the market.  Trading is a game and investing in the coins that is about to fork in other to get share of the new coins is wisdom as it is not much risk except there is a replay.
I don't see that we should expect much pump from this as the market has been down for quite some time now and hardfork don't move the market that much.  We should endeavour to play safe and reduce risk as possible.

Invest into cryptocurrencies is also a real business and I think all depends on how you see life.  Business is all about knowledge and skills and the more of it you have the better you will be in it.  Cryptocurrencies' area of business is more profitable than our convention system we have. Few people among the humanity understand and can used bitcoin or blockchain technology to make money through trading and exchanging and if you can develop yourself I think you will have an hedge above others.
I agree with you and op need to understand the risk and reward that are in any business he or she wants to do.  In cryptocurrencies trading you just need to keep risk in mind and investing into icos is even currently more risky.  However,  if you are not a risk taker I will said it is better to do the offline business that you can have some control over and the risk is minimum.

I agree with you.  I could still remember when I was holding ethereum around January this Year.  I wish then that ethereum is the best coins and it will outperform bitcoin in some days but I have to Change my mind when I was holding bitcoin of recent. For those that has interest and financial commitment in one cryptocurrency always support that currency and wish it outperform other.  Bitcoin and ethereum are two different things with different aim and objectives and we should know this in other to be able to know were both stand.
Bitcoin was opportune to be the first blockchain coins and have limited number of coins to mine and in circulation compared to ethereum that has a very wide network and coins in circulation.  Those that did not understand the aims will be using price  To determine the performances of the coins and cryptocurrencies market.  

The follow are my two most used Cryptocoins exchange platforms.  I like them due to the bellow reasons:
1. Cryptopia: I like cryptopia because it creates opportunity for me to arbitrage my trade.  Cryptopia is an exchange that add many coins every day and because of this a lot of fluctuation in pricing that give many opportunities to buy from exchange like binance and hitbtc and sell them at cryptopia with huge profits.
2. Binance: I prefer to used binance because of volume and the ways whales do trade there.  Sometimes binance do have huge volumes and many altcoins trading are available more than many others exchange.  Binance is safe and I like it security.

Many idea are coming up but I will said it is very risky to put your hard earned money in the hands of others to manage it for you why you expect return on a periodical base.  I will advise you to use few of your time to learn how to trade professionally.  If you can develop your skills and knowledge about how to invest and trade cryptocurrencies profitably there is no way you will not get monthly income from it.  What you just need is to learn how it works and trying to work along with the trend and you will have coins in your purse.

Definitely ethereum is going to grow in future and become stable than it is now.  We should plan to put more effort as little as possible in promoting cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology as this is the future and because ethereum is one of the chief cornerstone of cryptocurrencies I believe that time is coming that we would used it as coin and by then it will be more stable in pricing.  I don't think we should be discouraged by the current happened in the market because the future hold alot for us and cryptocurrencies is the future.

I am thinking that this ETF idea should be drop as it has cause more dumping in bitcoin pricing more than any news.  Governments and financial institutions including sec are going to approve ETF one day but it might not be now and the time that they are going to approve it will be very easy than what is happening now.  Many people sold their holding because of panicking and how bitcoin was dumping around February last year and this was due to sec rejection of ETF and since then I decided to live this ETF issues and focus on more ways that we can promote cryptocurrencies.

[/quote]I just read through this and it looks innovative and I believe this is an extension of what we have before. Op we really appreciate you for sharing this with us as we must understand and believe that cryptocurrencies is here to stay and the more advance we go the more clearer it becomes. People are buying and selling Cryptocoins every day and that means it has become part of our life and this type of sites makes it easier for us to see the future.
I think other trading platform can learn from this and create more features in the trading platform that may give traders more profitable trading.
Merit is made for quality posts and not for trying of websites!  

I really agree with the foregoing list and I think we can promote cryptocurrencies outside those big name like google and yahoo ads.  Only in this forum alone we were able to bring some projects to light lime and if other forums and services are taking along I believe people that matter in relationships to cryptocurrencies investments will here about any projects and invest in it.
Marketing is the major integral of every projects and we should think many ways of promoting them.  Those traffic channels can be use to promote any projects to successful.

The betting game is really on the rising and it seems cryptocurrencies is really creating many opportunities for betting, casino and gamble lovers. I hope this new betting site added more features than other could not added?

I think and I believe that governments has no capacity to shut down bitcoin and blockchain technology and if its has that capability it could have done that long time ago. Did you think governments will live things that there know will bring freedom to the society and common man? I don't think so. Governments will ever be against bitcoin and other coins and that is why they are promoting bad and false news about bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. I don't think government can do much again bitcoin than it has already done!

Since we have gotten a bearish market in 2018 , I think 2019 is going to be a bullish year.  For some of us that are ready to make money like other did in 2017, now should be the best time to start gathering many coins as you can afford and sell when bullish run began in 2019. I believe that bitcoin is going to makes the same movements it makes in 2017 by next year.  Ending of July may be the beginning of bitcoin journey to another moon.  In August 2019  I am speculating that bitcoin is going to be above $20,000.

Thank you for providing those links and it very important op should learn first before putting in money.  
The knowledge of technical analysis is very important in trading and you should not invest if you did not know how to interpret candlesticks and some indicators.  That is why it is very important you should download matertrade software and use the free indicators and practice what you have learned from the above YouTube explanation on technical analysis.  
However,  the knowledge of technical analysis alone is not enough for trading and you should combined it with fundamental analysis as it is the fundamental news that really moves the market.

To me yes, this is the right time for you to buy bitcoin and others altcoins at the most cheap price this year. Remember that those that were able to take risk and buy bitcoin when it was cheap in some years back makes profits and become rich when bitcoin went above $19000 in December 2017. I think those that said that bitcoin and others cryptocurrencies are for long term purposes are right in away because most of the Bitcoins and cryptocurrencies millionaires today are those that refuse to sell at the lose and hold the coins for long term.

In trading you have to have deep knowledge on both technical and fundamental analysis in other to make money. I think and I advise that you should not put money into trading except you have getting enough knowledge, skills and understanding on how trading works if not you will lose. Please have this at the back of your mind that you are going to lose money if all you know about trading is technical analysis.
Experience is very important aspect of trading. If you can develop your skills through experience you will become a professional trader in no time. Remember that trading is a game and the most skillful make the highest profits. Just like in football the most skillful make the high pay in the game.
I hope the op will understand this as there is no way you can trade without losing. In trading you must makes some lose and profits. It is when your profits exceeding loses that you make profits. You should also no that you have to understand stop loss and take profits very well and know how it work in other to minimize losses and maximize profits.

I thought I am the only person experiencing this as I have tokens send to my wallet everyday from the airdrop I participated but most of them are less than a dollar in the market.  I think airdrops is not worth it as 99% of them can not fund the gas or charges at the exchange.  I have decided to live them for long-term maybe in some years to come it will be valuable.  I believe that the future of everything related to cryptocurrencies is bright and if we should keep what we have for long-term there is no way we would not make money. Yes, I hope many of us understand that and the projects owners preferred million to participate in their airdrop and pay $100 worth of their airdrops to the participants.  Before you participate in airdrop have this in mind that the airdrop's coins is almost free coins so the owners know that and they will not like throwing much into it.

In 2013, I first find out from a sites that I can double my money in two days if I invest in a hyip and the article said any hyip that is rated positive by hyippoll is the good one to invest.  I followed this article and I put $1,000 , before evening of the same day I started to read comments at goldpoll that asiaoil which I invested in having problems and as such payments has stop.  I take it as a joke but that is how I loose investments in hyip. 
The most risky of all investments is hyip.  Never put your money in hyip because you are going to lose them.  The hyip promoters make money from what you lose and many of them has been in this for years.  If you desire to invest you should look for coins that is doing very well and put in money instead of hyip. You can also develop your skills and knowledge about the market and trading as this is far less risk compare to hyip.
