Consider this: the efforts of central banks to create centralized digital currencies are no different to altcoins. The only difference is who is producing the coin and what funding the development team has. Some might even argue that altcoins have greater credibility, as they in most cases have public and not private blockchains. In an age where there is greater demand for transparency, why not acknowledge the potential downfalls of central bank coins?

Since there is currently a price surge happening in bitcoin, expect most of crypto traders are active in bitcoin since they don't want to missed the train. So just wait until there is a bearish activity in bitcoin that will lead into the correction pruce. In most of the cases, when bitcoin was on pumping scene expect some slow price movement in alts and sometimes resulting for so much dip.

So what to do? Take advantage at both situation, buy at dip, hold then plan your next move. Yes a risky one but this is how crypto trading works.

He's going to have a hard time finding a real job when his name and picture are plastered all over the internet, RipOffReport.com, as a scammer.

Hope he bagged enough from this to retire from (doubtful).

Since 2009 when original bitcoin QT was released there's been very few coins/assets released using a new code base.  We all know this, despite there being +500 coins and assets, the number of unigue ones can be counted on two hands. Qora is one of those, and by a long way it's the most obscure and undervalued one. Qora could still go to zero, but as long as the network and blockchain stay viable, it can come back, it's existence is a major hedge against discovering bugs and other fatal flaws in the other objectively unique crypto coins. Qora is THE best investment based on risk and return, coz it's original code and ridiculously cheap.

Cryptonote based (monero)
NXT based

Bitshares
Ethereum
eMunie (not launched)
Ripple (XRP)

Qora

There might be a few more, but once you take away all the ones based on bitcoin, or built on top of bitcoin ( counterparty, omni), we're left with an incredibly small number of unique coins. Total crypto marketcap is ~15B USD, if a bug was ever found in BTC, or it failed for another reason, one of two things would happen. Either the bulk of the crypto marketcap would be destroyed, or it would move to other coins. If it moved where would all that value go? I think Qora would be high on the list of safe havens as it's completely unrelated to bitcoin, been going for over 2 years, and is 100% decentralised.


Edit, zCash and bitshares are based on bitcoin, but have unique features too. Unknown if they could survive if a bug was found in bitcoin
