If we consider $50 to be small, lets also look at a lot of projects at their thousand of dollar investments that had turn to $50. over 95% loss from over 98% altcoins. It might be a difficult advice but a long term investment in some of this project will turn thousand of dollar one day. Long term investment is the best strategy from investors and it is very rewarding for good projects. None of the 4-5 years project in the space is less than ICO price ATM

The focus in 2020 is more on bitcoin but other altcoin may enjoy some ride. The bull run could kick off but the market is still under some observation on its movement, anything below $5k could be critical and extend the bear market but ATM it seem a lot of fund is holding the price and it is well managed. There are still more interest in possible dump in the market to acquire more by whales, maybe the miners are selling but that is the most unwise decision at this market state. This can only come from stupid miners but we now have richer miners than ever with investors mindset and can wait longer without considering the cost. The rally will increase toward May, 2020 and could hit new ATM after the halving but we cant see the peak of it next year. Then some fund could go to altcoins with prospect and liquidity, and I feel new projects might enjoy the ride than the old with price manipulation and attraction to investors that always want quick profits.

I think the first Idea is to increase the marketcap of bitcoin close to trillion of dollars, a market size that can dictate a good part of the world economy. They need more than the oil in the world to move the world economy and want it to be in the hand of the top countries alone. Silently some companies in USA are also investing into Bitcoin mining with the aim to HODL for longer time. Backing bitcoin is good proposal but the asset value will still be a great feature sometimes in the future before the USA dollar backing is thoroughly effected.

Libra is not only facing this opposition with USA but other part of Europe. The team behind the project is rejecting a lot of re-branding by the USA government from declaring a stable coin (as security token) to other containing measures, This started far back as June 18 when the announcement of the project was made. Investors profit had been removed with recent news and could loosen the interest and commitment from this side but the whole crypto space are watching with lot of interest in the money the coin will bring to the space. We expect resolution later in the coming year

I told many concerned individuals that Sapta's involvement in the project is my main factor of consideration, his integrity is at stakes and his confidence on the project still amazes me. If they really got the softcap, that means the project has all it takes to kick of and deliver. I expect a level of delivery on the roadmap irrespective of the undelivered tokens to investors. They can start the project, stagger other IEO process and distribution of token to investors while the token is traded on the exchanges for property purchase, they should be beyond the demo. Investors can care more if the project they are interested or invested in is already on the go.

The more you get deep in the space the more you get scared with scam. A large percentage is involved in the scam and manipulation of the market. So much is going on now in the space and is an attempt by the teams to benefit from the next run at all cost, most especially at the expense of investors and traders. More revelations are coming out on the influence of Vitalik to dump Ethereum price which am still struggling to believe. Now investors are very scared to put fund, they are already burnt, except they were properly managed and exited early.

They are all good listed projects and they are not substitute to bitcoin but complement. They look like a prepared project for inflow of cash into the space in few weeks. For projects with smaller price they have opportunity to make multiplication of price than bitcoin which could attract more investors. Tezos is likely going to improve liquidity with so much fund to spend on project's development. Binance is good token and we cant deny the use case but I believe at a point the space may face some legal actions that could drag for long

All the above exchanges had produced worse IEOs this outgoing year, I had to conclude that any project I followed that decides to raise fund there is a scam. most projects this year never got listed after the crowdsale, some gave wrong figure of raised fund and couldn't continue and some ran away. They got no credibility at all and team are similar in response. They owe nobody explanation for anything. Even if the market gets back I wont ever use any of these exchanges.

The final stage of ETH hardfork is the only expectation in January and other path in the technology development are  staggered into 2021/22. This may give ETH a lot struggle into 2020 bitcoin rally and therebye dump massively. I cant believe any theory against bitcoin pump in the early part of 2020, I dont just expect the level of saturation of the positive sentiment, most times at rally we dont expect such, It also shows we have more long bitcoin holders and maximalists.  

I want to assume we have some people that belongs to the bitcoin cult with their posts here, The discussion is just to force a move/hands from the altcoin max and it is growing strongly on all media. how could you describe those altcoin maximalists as queen not kings. They are a little bit shy of the market ATM but I believe we will see some changes soon, may be in some selected projects.

I believe in the growth of bitcoin in the coming year considering halving but bitcoin lately gets to be more unpredictable. After the new ATH, there will be attempt to bring fund into the space without bitcoin cause usually the approaching bullrun needs a larger fund from different angles, some institutional, Governments this time with stable coin, and altcoin could be the only feasible channel especially since weak hands are more there. The stages of growth is staggered with different positions, one might need to be very smart to shift position at those stages.

Chelsea has better chances with the home game and coming back of Rudiger. He should be in the line up according to the Coach, statistics shows he has better record at the defense when he plays. he is  better and an experienced defender than any other in the team, he is also a leader. All Chelsea need is to win to get to the next round, though they might face a tougher team with less point. Napoli is a very strong team and they cant be underrated

When I tried to verify the news, I saw different information that proves it is yet to be approved (https://cryptopotato.com/ukraine-set-to-legalize-cryptocurrencies-as-means-of-payment-and-investment/) Thats some hours ago. Although there seems to be a boost to the approval and the chances are better. They might need improvement in the law as time passes cause the bill presented seems to have restrictions, some with size of holdings etc.

As well as they present themselves to acquire some money, some project lied on the fund raised. Most IEO from exchanges didn't raise the amount they present to people. It is another phase in bounty as it is on altcoin,IMO as long as altcoin is getting its good run, hunters will get their pay.

It might depend on the price of profit taking for bitcoin. 5 million dollar is enough to spend through retirement and anyone retiring earlier will think of adding more. if bitcoin hit $250k, 20 bitcoin would have been good retirement plan for the next bullrun. Average monthly spending in the USA is $6500 (maybe lesser if house is already acquired), so with 5 million, the retirement plan will take care of 65 years of your life. I didn't consider tax any way

And who will it benefit? some coins will always have interested trader even as it dumps, which shows price will always be attached. Though is in some peoples' interest in social media, their opinion's cant be trusted cause everyone is about money here. They are very greedy of the profit and that's why you cant believe anything they say about Ethereum.

I cant defend any crowdsale team and the project but if you have confusion or misunderstanding on anything seek explanation on there telegram group, I only see airdrop complains most time no real discussion from interested individuals though the moderator is very active. If the soft-cap is achieved I believe the project can start on the road-map and look for the way of gradually introduce the coin while they stagger the distribution of the token both to investors and bounty participants.

Altcoins is not the problem but the team behind them, their capabilities and credibility. The year had not been too good for the space, however some projects produce a good profit for investors. Blaming the market to the bear market by some altcoins team is mere deception and incompetence. Did the roadmap has anything to do with the bear market?  Even if they loose the bitcoin value at some point they should keep the price at good range, especially for new project from the bear market at $3200 bitcoin.

Some exchanges didnt plan to suspend withdrawal and deposit until they saw others. It was just to take caution against any possibilities but have not seen any message of restoration of this service from those exchanges.
