This is setting the pace for ETF approval, one thing I am sure of is that ETF approval is close by, all these companies and names are influential and have huge lobbying power, they are laying the infrastructure for this to happen 2019 could surely be the year, my main fear is just price suppression by these people

I do like all the points raised but there is a poison distribution in statistics and if you calculate the probability of Government defaulting on the bond payment, Earthquake happening in an area and precious metal prices tanking they are very low. NO risk, No reward and this is why I always for active managing your investment so as to adjust to the present reality

I just have a feeling both of them will come out of this losers. I don't see how both projects succeed long term, the person I pity most is Jihan because he has more to lose than to win. This is a game of ego and that is all, people overestimate the treat of Craig until he make the vulnerabilities in SegWit open I won't rate him as a person

Why would you even conceive the idea that this is game over for Bitcoin, when you see BAKKT and other ETFs lining up to get into the game. I think it is time people need to some listening to Mainstream media because they are all against BTC. Do you thing BAKKT team are stupid people to want to get into a dead end, for me the game is just starting, the question is are you ready

Personally I don't like mixing politics with Crypto especially Bitcoin,  but I think Iranians people too need to look at the mirror and ask themselves some fundamental questions, this issue is not peculiar with Iran alone becaause there are some people behind the scene benefiting greatly from this, I am talking about Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Argentina and some of these countries in dire financial mess. For me you can only help yourselves thanks God for internet that has made information this readily available prepare for your future and that of your children because some people I talked to about BTC still believe it to be a scam

I think I agree with you, the reason why all these names are popping up is because of the insincerity of most people behind the project, in STO can the developers be voted out and do they still have 100% control of the fund, when I joined the space there use to be an Escrow account when the ICO money stays and will be released  until the developers fulfill certain conditions all is out of water now and that is why we are see abuse in the space. The main thing is to stick to best practices the better for everyone involved

Cryptocurrency should have been a suitable asset for retirement investing but the issue is the volatility for now, until we start to see steady and continue growth I don't see people betting their live savings on it for now, and this is an advice to everyone with the way the market behave this year will still need something aside Crypto to keep the soul and body together

Are you serious, please stop call Idex a decentralised exchange, is it not the same IDEX that started blocking some IPs from certain countries. I think it is just a market word to market the exchange and nothing more. I have not seen any decentralised exchange in the space it only exit in theory and not in practice

The thing I don't understand why people fall for things like this, do they think Crypto is a father Christmas land. Why would someone be giving out free $120 to people even Vitalik is not doing so. I think people get scammed because they are greedy and looking for free money but forget that there is nothing free out there, someone must pay the price

I won't debate the price going to $50 it may even go lower, but the surprise thing is that where are those people defending the price of Ethereum when the prices was $1000+ and can't buy when the price is $120 what an irony. I have said it Ethereum is a great idea but has many baggage that would prevent to to scale, so could be the fore runner to other great projects to come

I think you are wrong here, what push the market  price up is the demand, if the demand for Crypto assets keep increasing then expect the price to move up, the increase in Altcoins is a plus to BTC, because we can argue that they have push the prices of BTC up from the 2015 to the current period because BTC was around $200-$400 then

There are two ways to see this, to be sincere of what use are 99% of these tokens, why do I need to hold a token after collecting my money and the tokens end up having no user as we are seeing these days and no value.

The only thing I see here is that SEC is not giving out a clear decisive statement of how to go about ICO and not to get wrought of the government, what would happen is projects moving out of US and to a more conducive regions to set up their projects.

I have been thinking about the market situation, I think there are many things some of these projects can do by start offering people part of the company instead of just these useless tokens that have no usecase, this could stop the dump in the token price because you see more than the present market situation but a big company in making. I know most of these projects are relying on BTC and Ethereum prices to pick so has for them to regain their value but I can tell you most of these projects are not coming back, we need to learn from history

There are many ways team goes about this, the could embark on marketing campaign to generate interest in their tokens, also they could employ the services of market maker to help drive up the price and also do buy back of their own tokens, Some team employ all these 3 tactics to get desired results

Can you justify why the price should be at least $50, people never learn. IMO the probability of ADA value being Zero is higher than it been valued  $5 not to talk of $50. The project is good but looking at the infighting within the space and the History of Charles Hoskinson with projects you will think twice

I don't know what Vitalik have to say about this. I think Ethereum will reverse when most of the ICO money find its way back to the market but I truly can't see it hit $1000, reason being that there are many competing platforms now in the space like RSK, EOS, NEO, ADA and co and developers must have learnt their lessons that this is not sustainable putting all there eggs in one basket so expect the monopoly Ethereum has on the ICOs market to end

Those that I pity most now are the ICO developers that failed to hedge themselves and hold on to Ether. I think some of them it is because of greed, they are stupid to think the price will continue to grow without any correction and this stupid mistake is likely going to bring the project down because no money to support the project long term expect something drastic happen to the price of Ether and reverse this trend

What I like about the NEXO team is that they very much understand that for their model to work they need to get SEC onboard and never try to deceive themselves like other lending platforms like Salt but I still need to wait for their first dividend payment and see how much it worth. Anything like 15 to 25%ROI will be very good

Where are the dump and the smart money that entered the space almost this time last year gone, why are people confortable buying BTC at 10k and above and can't afford to hold on to it at $5k, this rely baffles me. We have seen a new low this year and people still feel we have not hit the bottom. I think the goodnews is that speculators are getting out of the space and true believers are now entering the market

I don't know what is going through the mind of Roger Ver, JIhan and Craig now, what is the use of this fork, the price of the two coins is less than the value of BCash before the split, this is just an ego fight and has nothing to do with making the project better. Both with time will be proved fools because they have just signed the death warrant of their babies
