Airdrops mean free money. And no one in this world is going to say no, if someone offers free money. My best airdrop came in the form of Bitcoin Cash in 2017. I got around $4,000 worth of free coins. There were a few other promising airdrops, such as those by Stellar Lumens and Byteball.

That is not always the case while investing in altcoins. The alts undergo pump-and-dump cycles and many of them become obsolete after 1-2 years. Even I had invested in alts such as Quark and Freicoin, and they are absolutely worthless now.

Ideally that should have been the case. Both the currencies were designed for different purposes, and therefore there should not be much competition between them. But the problem is that nowadays all the cryptos are mostly used for investment purposes and this puts them against each other.

The biggest threat to the exchange rates as of now comes from the Mt Gox bankruptcy trustee Nobuaki Kobayashi. He is liquidating BTC/BCH held by the exchange on a constant basis, and till now he has only sold around 1/4th of the coins. My guess is that it will take at least 6 more months for him to complete the liquidation. Until then, the prices will remain in a depressed state.

Too many altcoins have come up in the market and you need to be careful while investing in them. The last time I checked, there were more than 5,500 different altcoins and tokens in existence. It can be quite a cumbersome task to select the coin to make the investment.

As of now, the altcoin prices remains closely linked to that of Bitcoin. Until the alts are able to shake-off this association, there will be no real growth for them and they will remain at the mercy of the wild swings in the BTC exchange rates.

There is no guarantee that Bitcoin will always remain as the no.1 crypto-currency, in terms of popularity and adoption. If you check the stats, then you can see that the Bitcoin market dominance has fallen from 90% to 37% during the last three years.

I agree with you. I lost quite a large amount of money investing in ICOs during the first quarter of this year. Scammers are taking advantage of the buzz generated by the ICOs in 2017 and they are fleecing money from the unsuspecting investor.

I'd mostly agree with your list, with the exception of Waves and IOTA. A few months back, everyone was talking about Waves emerging as an alternative to ETH. But a few technologically more advanced alts have surpassed Waves in terms of popularity and acceptability. IOTA is looking quite over-priced now, and I don't think that it will go much higher.

You can't blame the market conditions alone for your losses. The quality of the ICOs have also gone down during the same time. When you compare the ICOs so far in 2018 with those in 2017, the difference is obvious.

Attacking Iran will be suicidal for the Israelis. Iran is not a weak nation like Egypt or Jordan. They have advanced ballistic missiles and other weaponry in their possession. And their army is also much more capable and well-trained.

The only reason why the Americans haven't invaded Korea till now is due to the presence of the nukes and the ICBMs. Else, Kim Jong Un would have ended up like Saddam Hussein of Iraq or Gaddafi of Libya.

Physical wars can be quite expensive, in terms of money and manpower. The Russians were not interested in it, and therefore they resorted to indirect war in terms of sanctions and embargoes. And it worked in the end.

You want the society to accept these people. But tell me whether it is beneficial for anyone, to act as if trans-genderism is a normal phenomenon. In my opinion, it is a serious medical and mental condition, that requires treatment. Normalizing it may be more detrimental than beneficial.

Mumbai Indians now have two wins and five losses from a total of 7 matches. I don't think that they will be able to qualify for the play-offs until some miracle occurs. My prediction for the play-offs is as following: CSK, SRH, KXIP, and RR.

The points table looks interesting. Now the RCB has managed to avoid the last position and Mumbai Indians have also moved ahead. The Delhi Daredevils are at rock bottom, after their recent losses. If the RCB loses again today by a decent margin, then once again RCB will be at the bottom position.

Did you forgot that Italy failed to qualify for the event? During the qualifiers, Italy was placed in a tough group, along with Spain. They finished 2nd, but then lost the playoffs to Sweden.

I used to earn around $1,000 per month from the bounty campaigns. But the payouts are getting smaller now, and a lot many of the bounty campaigns are not paying their participants. The quality is going down.

ETH is trading at around $700 per coin now. Another 40% to 45% spike would take it to the $1K mark. So we can expect Ethereum to breach the $1,000 per coin level before the end of this year. But it needs to be seen whether these prices can be sustained or not.

Who told you that Bitcoin and Ethereum are not affordable? You can purchase BTC or ETH in extremely small amounts, such as $10 or $25 and keep them in your wallet. Go for the altcoins if you think that they have good future potential. But never go for them just because you think that they are more affordable.
