one of the best ways of investing "what you can afford to lose" is to invest the money that you are wasting. Andreas Antrapolos once said, invest the money that you spend on a pack of cigarette for example. cut something bad and invest that money in bitcoin.
i am still not convinced about altcoins in long term though! i consider them as a much higher risk than bitcoin while having a much lower potential than bitcoin. which is why i prefer only keeping my money in bitcoin.
On the other hand, i believe in a balance blockfolio. So i will must sure i have a portion in bitcoin, a portion in eth, a portion in neo, and then the remaining is into potential alt coins and the last portion is into flipping in icos. it is just different views and because of it, different strategies. i believe in diversification but i diversify into other assets, the traditional ones. and i treat altcoins more like penny stocks: short term and high risk only for trading. but if you have any other strategy that works for you then stick to it. There is no right and wrong. Overall as long we knew what we are doing then we are in good hands. I do agree that it is good to diversify into other assets to even traditional ones. I am aiming to up my crypto investments x20-30 more before i will start to withdraw some for traditional investment. |

If you are positive in the long run of bitcoin to go up to as high as 100k/bitcoin, then whoever sold bitcoin at any time will have a big loss. However, i dont want you all to look in that aspect. As long as you profit from bitcoin, even a $100 profit, you are already better off and you already have not lost anything. So what if someone have 100btc and i cash out 10btc now. He still hold majority of the btc in the long run.

With the high price of electricity in my country, mining is not worth it. And just the technical skills and the setting up part can killed me, so i am not giving it a go.

Not really aiming for any merit but i love to chat with people who want to know more about alt coin.
As i am quite a safe cryptoer, i would like to balance my blockfolio as compares to my friends. They are very risky and they are earning way more faster than me. However, i started quite some time and i love the stability.
My positioning is 20% btc, 30% eth, 20% alt coin(beside eth) and 20% flipping (ico). Of course it is impossible to balance cause the flipping ico is adding more $$ to my blockfolio.
I do have a lot of topics that i can touch on and today i am going to focus on ico flipping.
Generally, ICO invest is very dangerous, it is because out of 100 over icos every month, only maybe 2-5 of them will give you profits. So it is about how you identify the good icos from the bad one, and the best out of the good one. Right now i will give a list of my ico investment and add some extremely brief comments as i go along.
Polymath 10eth, recently just out and sold for 16 eth.
It is so popular that the crowdsale is no longer needed. And if you whitelist, you can even get 250tokens which is about $250.
Selfkey 10 eth, received last month and sold for 30eth.
KYC ico has been doing very great recently. I was planning to get into Selfkey and Thekey but end up i was too lazy with the neo platform to invest in thekey. Should not be cause one can gain like a few thousand.
Gifto 8eth, sold for 24eth.
Gifto has been very popular in China. They even sold like 20mil in private sale. And they have good token metrics whereby private investors will have their tokens locked for months if they invest more than 100k. The team is very effective and they even have rounds of spin airdrop to keep the public interested. They also have very strong customer based so the tokens can be easily integrated to the system.
Appcoins (signature bouty for a month) and get 20eth.
Very similar to Gifto and yet nobody know about it. So each stake is quite big and so i chose that.
(ICO Failed) Olympus Labs, i heard they almost sold out in private sale so i put like 30eth. I am quite convince by their team as they also have came out events/activities to keep the people engaged. End up there is a lot of issues and luckily i sold off 23eth at cost price while my 7 eth worht of OL is dropping in values.
Spectre Ai
Almost ready platform and it is works on decentralise smart contract. The token holders also got dividends while the other token will have buyback with burning system so overall quite a good token structure. I am still holding spectre ai.
Upcoming ICO
Trakinvest
Get to know about it due to partnership of spectre ai and also friends discussion. Invested in it, tokens yet to be out but the marketing is very bad so the telegram membership count is very low to my standard. Bad investment at this point of time.
Policypal Network
Very confidence in this. Great cofounder, great receptive on the ground(almost everywhere full attendence), great advisors, great partnership, greater media coverage, telegram 13k explode to 23k members within 2 days because of telegram whitelist. I am very bullish on this.
Sentinel Chain
Equally as bullish on this as policypal network. Extremely great partnership (Maybank to Infocorp, Fenbushi, Vechain), without any marketing done they already have incredible supports from the crowd. You even need to do prove of support/love to get allocation.
Zombie(Or whatever name is it upcoming)
If anyone need to get into programming on eth, this is the place that provide you the best school of learning. Customer base is getting bigger as the days go.
and many more to go.

is there a difference between query/sec and transactions/sec? or query and transaction is the same thing but different wording?
They are different. Lightchain is based on the handling the queries and not about supporting/proving the transaction of the blockchain. |
