That's completely normal. It's a very fresh sphere so a high failure rate is pretty expectable. It was the same with the dotcom bubble. A great bunch of companies which attracted huge investments are non-existent now.
 

ICON is a very curios one. They are creating a Network for various public institutions such as financial institutions, insurance companies, hospitals and universities. The project has a really substantial support in South Korea so the implementation shouldn't take long.

It's not a direct alternative, but I would recommend gab.ai. They stand for the freedom of speech and are anti-censorship.

I do trust generally because ERC20 is just a platform. Product, team and whitepaper are much more important in determining a project's quality.

It's hard to predict, but it's defenitely only the beginning of a very perspective technology that has a potential of changing the world.

I don't think centralized coins stand any chance against decentralized in the long run. I can see them competitive only in some narrow markets whe coin serves some very distinct purpose.

Bitcoin has a potential of stealing a huge chunk of money flow from them and making them useless as intermediaries. Also, this way they risk losing there power and political influence.

I believe the ICOs market will eventually reach its equillibrium. It just requiers some time to develop internal institution of reputation which will work on elimination of scammers.

I you can see on the graph that DOGE is currently low, it may be worth buying as once in a while it gets hyped due to some newsmaker and temporarily growth in value.

I bet on ICON and Enigma. CON Network is comprised of various institutions ranging from: financial institutions, insurance companies, hospitals, universities and more. They have a great support in Korea. Enigma is a blockchain-based protocol that uses privacy technologies to enable scalable, end-to-end decentralized applications.

There is a request form on their website. However, you need to show a stable daily volume of at least $100,000 in order to be eligible for listing.

I do not. Cryptocurrency is the grey zone in my country, so luckily governments have not interfered in that sphere yet. Alsom I'm against taxation in general.

Well, a government can create a cryptocurrency, but if they make it centralize and reserve the right to influence its supply and flow that will make it almost undiscernible from fiat money and highly uncompetitive.

You should get used to corrections. They are absolutely normal after coins grow fast for several days.

I don't see any chance for any centralized currency to win the race if no violence and coercion is used. Who would want to trust all their funds to some small group of actors?

Basically, it is backed by the code (which is mostly impregnable), people's trust in it and the fact of decentralization.

Totally agree. By investing in XRP you are leaving your funds at the mercy of its creators and top-investors, who can easily manipulate the market.

比特币痛苦指数在我看来完全没有必要，痛不痛苦跟比特币没有半毛钱关系
关键还是看自己的心态和承受能力，币市不可能永远赚钱，也不可能永远活在痛苦中的。

这个翻译很赞，楼主看来很专业啊，话说这币值得撸吗？

现在基本都是在阴跌了，牛市已经结束了，剩下的就是割韭菜了。
