Determining the scam ICOs at the very first place can't be done. They are sweet in the beginning and you can't think of them as a scam but time will tell on how shady their plans are when you've got to know them better. Finding for a genuine and legit projects now is still possible but chances are low as most of them are stopping themselves to continue the project itself. But if you ever find one, do all the effort to verify everything related to that project to protect your money.

Can you give the email you sent to their support? did you explained what happened to you? there were cases like this before but not with koineks and those exchanges involved helped the person who sent to the wrong address. Like they said, koineks is the only one that can help you to recover your coins.
If you don't mind, how much BCH you sent wrongly?

Fox exchange? I have never used it and I stay away with these type of exchange that I'm not so familiar with. It was registered last year as for whois.

Before using that exchange, think about it there are even more better and good exchange than that.

There's a sure money with blockchain and crypto's and for sure that they didn't want to miss that chance.

They know what drives the people and money is going in and out with blockchain and crypto's. As for that beating, forget that thing as we will see the adoption going through every year passes by.

Crypto is here to stay, I usually don't get hook with those naysayers and just let the day pass if they keep on trolling on internet. Just close the chapter of the past years and move on to the next year.

There's so much to go for this year and everyone should grow as the time is quickly passing by.

I can't remember if I ever dwelled with airdrops. I don't think that its worth it anymore to waste your time for getting into airdrops. They are also becoming stricter with requirements and the real airdrops now were gone.

Real airdrops those that are just looking for participants to give their tokens for free without any ask for documents or verifications. This is the reason why I'm not interested anymore with airdrops. If some keep on doing airdrops, good luck to all of you I hope you find a gem by continuing that.

Lightning network, adoptions, regulations which we think will help the price increase now. These are the things that we can wait for this year that can impact the price of bitcoin.

As for the bitcoin etf approval, there's no sure thing with that. It might be rejected again as it has been rejected before not just once but many times. I'm not inclined with that, this year its still a long way to go things can change by half year. If nothing changed for this year by 2020, halving can effect the prices.

Yes it's possible for many companies but it can't happpen to every companies that we think. There's more to go with these companies and if ever they look into blockchain, they might not broadcast it that they'll start using the technology.

And another thing, it will be a private blockchain so its only applicable to them but its still the technology which they adopted.

I've read a news about Visa adopting or launching blockchain-based system.

Here's the link (https://cointelegraph.com/news/visa-set-to-launch-blockchain-based-digital-identity-system-with-ibm-in-q1-2019)

I think it will not beat Visa, two will merge as Visa sees its potential.

A bitcoin even for a legendary is like a tale nowadays. It's unlikely to see a high rank member to earn that amount. There's too many factor to consider.

- if the project is good and legit, expect that the many participants will share the pool
- hard to see a legit project that will pay with real money (worth it tokens)
- you can earn few satoshi's / mbtc's but one bitcoin is impossible

Forget about the hype, the market should flushed those people that are into hype. We need real people who are into the technology and believes to the future of bitcoin.

As for this yearly all time lows, it is very interesting on how high the market that will be posted for this year. Bitcoin is far from being dead and expect that many will keep on telling that and don't understand on what really is happening to bitcoin.

Only one fine thing, to see bitcoin go on all time high again. This will result the whole crypto market to go in full force into a bull run. You can notice that once bitcoin goes on high, alts are also going with the wave bitcoin is going.

The question should be, what is the factor that can get bitcoin on ATH?

1. Satoshi Nakamoto invented bitcoin to avoid third party transactions, expensive fees, and slow process of receiving money. Thats the main purpose why bitcoin was created.
2. If you bought bitcoin when it was very cheap and you held until today or sold at $20000, it definitely was a quick rich method but nowadays its not like that anymore.

I hold those coins especially bitcoin. We arent the two people that think these two would last a long time. They have significant and good future so good thing that you have added it on your portfolio.

You will never regret having bitcoin and ethereum as your long term investment.

What is/are these coins that you hold? let the crowd give you ideas on what we think wd those coin/s that you have right now. With my situation, I prefer to hold and if I saw an entry Ill buy.

I sell if I really need to, otherwise IMO holding would be the best option if you are uncertain with deciding of between the two.

We have a specific section for bitcoi  "predictons" and that is on Speculation(https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=57.0).

And for Speculation(Altcoins) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=224.0)

Im not an expert but 2019 is very exciting to see. I wont expect such rise would come but the same of this year end, a very slow rise. Im not confident that we will see quick recovery as what others are thinking.

What kind of institution you are? Whats the name of your company? Is that "blacksun" is the name of your company?

Could you show the address that you have it?

Second the motion for binance, it is one of the well known and good exchange to trade with. But to cut all of those suggestions, Storm token crowd sale was done and its already operating so OP doesn't need any of these suggestions anymore.

If anyone is still looking for BTC-ETH exchange, these are hundreds of exchange on the list.

A project won't die if it doesn't have a bounty but it will influence by giving a lot of idea and views through the forum. Just analyze that you have been running a bounty or campaign through the entire number 1 forum of bitcoin/cryptocurrencies.

It is a big exposure and a project can still survive even without an ICO. Start ups can provide themselves what they need if they really are focused and has the heart to pursue what they've been working.

Likewise, I can say that we're still at the early stage and we can be considered as early adopters. I thought before that it was too late to invest to bitcoin when it was around 2014 - 2015 because the price was "expensive" in my perspective by that time.

But just look on how much it is right now, we're still good as new and the upcoming once can also still be said as an early adopter. But after 10 years, I don't think investors by that time can still be considered as an early adopter.
