Bakkt is a hope as much as the Consensus 2018 was a hope. Single event, single exchange - minor local developments can't bring huge hype. An advancement in the technology can. Just like the smart contracts did. They created a whole ecosystem.

Missing deadlines is somewhat normal in the software development world. Another normal thing for early stage start-ups is pivoting and changing the initial idea, product and service. So, nothing new under the sun.

There is nothing better than seeing all the stupid superficial people leave right when it is the time for hard work and accumulating and building the next wave, that we will enjoy soon.

Banks already have the same tools that are developed in crypto. The service will be the one and same. The only difference is that banks will provide centralized solutions and you are in the traditional fiat economy VS crypto is providing decentralized solutions in an alternative economy. For the end user, that don't give a shit about this stuff, there will be no difference.

Can anyone explain the logic behind price surge after halving? I am suspicious that this was more relevant to the years when the crypto ecosystem was dominated mostly by miners and their agenda was driving the prices. I think now is a much bigger community and traders and whales play bigger role than those 2 times.

I love Ethereum. But I think that looked from a short-term investor viewpoint, there is just not much going on around it in the next 1-2 years. Yes, some small catalyst events can cause a 30-40% spike in price (not bad actually), but a massive surge in unexpected, IMO. For comaprison, Bitcoin and eventual ETF approval is another story.

ICOs are just a stepping stone in the evolution of the ecosystem. They opened the door and the good and bad practices were studied. What's next? The next step in evolution. STOs probably, with the lessons learned from the ICO stage.

I will be working hard and accumulating altcoins, then selling for BTC. This, until I see a non-questionable facts and signals that the market is capitulating and the wealth goes somewhere else.

Helbiz also did that and some other projects I can't remember. And it makes sense, if they believe in the future of their project. But the raised funds are usually planned for another expenses upfront and they don't have the resouces to do that.

It is a tough question. Probably, the coin I have the most comprehensive and hard-to-find information about, provided it is positive and promising. This way, I will have the most edge to the rest of the field.

That's the mystery of all mysteries. Although, it is not easy to pinpoint an ICO as a scam. But a lot of them are kinda suspicious and still raise some money. It may be money from the founders themselves, just to boost the raised money counter. We can't know that.

It is a real pleasure to work hard and accumulate, while everybody around you is telling you crypto is dead and you know we are at the bottom and good things are coming soon. I love this position. I was more uncomfortable when we were at all time highs and everybody was hyping.

I am done trying to predict the market. No one has a crystal ball, nor the information to predict such events in such an early stage ecosystem. Black swans can occur any time. One thing I know. It is much better to buy BTC at 3-4000$ range, than in the 15-20 000$ range.

I am very surprised to see the current spike in ETH/BTC price. Maybe it is connected to expectations of futures launch or that a lot of STOs will run on Ethereum, I don't know. But it seems it may take a big surge.

I don't invest in companies with shady past, battles between founders or communities and acts and displays of bad morale. Ripple falls under these categories for me, so I am passing over and over again, despite regreting some big movements up.
|

I expect an ETF disapproval and hence not a bull run. I expect a lot of people will give up on the Bitcoin/crypto idea and sell, while the Bakkt platform will be already launched and the big players will scoop BTC on low prices. So, not much volatility expected.
|
|
|
I down think Ripple is down, so it needs to recover. If you look at the XRP/BTC graph, Ripple had a nice surge in the last couple of months. This coin can even overtake Bitcoin in the near future.

These kind of services are the ones the are going to be disrupted the most by cryptocurrencies. They are charging insane fees for cross border payments and it is absolutely understandable for them to adopt crypto in order to survive.

I am supporter of this idea. I think that the teams that take their project seriosly should do buybacks to guarantee a certain price floor. But in terms of BTC price. USD price can't be sustained in cases of severe bear markets, like the current one.
