We ust need to wait and see the effect of these ETFs products on the market because a day after the  announcement the whole market start crashing. I will surely reserve my comments now because the whole market is full of uncertainties especially waiting for the BAKKT to kick off

Yes, it is true that the market give no sin of bull run to 20K but what happen last year was that BTC has already done 6X this time last year and the sentiment was good which was latter triggered by multiple forks we heard last year. I will be happy if new money enter the space but the sentiment now is not good which more of a concern

It is thesame project, I have even forgot that I used to hold these tokens, after the end of their ICO the project has failed to deliver something great for their investors and now what we need is the way they want to go about the refund or they not going to comply with it. The issue now is are they paying Fiat value or the Ethereum value

When are the people going to learn, 10X 100X in a year, can you name 5 projects this year that did 10X. We need to be more realistic with our expectations and projections, I am not saying we are not going to see 10X, 20X ROI on investment again but to be putting time frame on result of this king is not right because people get trapped

For me I think SEC is just trying to exploit the small projects in the space, until there is a clear legislation this is still going to be a subjective issue. If they go after big projects and become a legal issue and court make pronouncement about it then we can say this is this. I think ICO will become very strict with their KYC now and move out of US to a more ICO friendly countries

I don't see how Bitcoin is not going to be the coin to trigger the next Crypto bull run, I think ICO was the primary event that resulted in the drive of the market in 2017 but I think think could trigger the next bull run is the death of more than 1000 tokens in the space that are just for good to nothing  and this would then free up space for the next growth.

Anyone who fail to exercise patience in this market will have himself to blame, patience is a great virtue it is just that it takes time to reap the reward. About holding more coins please don't just hold any projects please do hold projects that you understand and has future because not all these tokens will regain their prices even the ICO prices

When to expect the 2017 gains again, it is likely going to be 2020/2021 before and After Bitcoin halving. The way things are looking now it seems 2019 will be more of legal tuzzle because with all the moves being taken by SEC recently more hammer will come on most of these ICOs project and that will still shake the space so be prepared

Looking at the performance of Bitcoin and the announcement of SEC concerning two ICOs project plus the BCASH fork, I think developers are panicking now not knowing when SEC will come for them, especially projects that conducted their ICOs in 2016 and early 2017 when the KYC stuff as not started. It would be interesting to see how this pans out

Yeah, maybe but I think what affected the deal was valuation. Salt started on a wrong note and do not have a strong go to market strategy like NEXO, I think Credo is another direct competitor to the project, if Crypto lending gain significant adoption these projects are going to be a big het for investors

I don't think we have upto 700 days to next halving, one thing I am sure about is that the price will hit $20k by the halving, I don't like price speculation but I think there are some errors in the price projection made above. What I am looking for now is to be ready for the next Bull run because it is surely coming when we don't all know until the sentiment change

I don't think the developers are 100% sure about the security of Lighting network and there are report of money being lost on it and if this become a norm there is no better FUD to kill the project before it even begin. I believe the best technology will surely work and LN is one of the best solution we have now, it just need time to be very sure of what you are getting into, Electrum developer said it sometimes ago that businesses will need to adapt their model to fit LN because it is the future

If you want bad news continue to listen to News on TV, they know what they are doing by spreading sensational news, some are even targeted to bring the prices down. I decided sometimes ago to be selective on what I watch and read because I want limited influence on my life. Fraud, Scam, Drug, Rape stories are everywhere and also good news it is now left to you to choose which one to read

Nobody can say this is when the bull market would start now, with all the good news in the space for most part of the year the prices has been on the sideways. What I would advice people on is to position them selves into good projects because not all these tokens would regain their prices again, but those that do would make it very big because BTC is going back to $20k it is just a matter of when

Airdrops use to be a good thing before until it was abuse by all this EBTC, ELTC, ENEO etc we all know how that all ended, then the reason for airdropping is to build community around a project but that seems to be a thing of the past now because most of these airdrops do not even have a working product and and some that do it is a photocopy of another project. You can collect them if you have time but me I have said good buy to them

Most of the time I don't pity certain people, any projects where there is rumor of scam/fraud the best thing to do is to avoid it, there will surely be another projects to invest into. The question I was asking during their ICO was why would they need so much money for this project and people should not be surprise to see another exit scam from the team which is becoming a trend nowadays

I believe the issue fo ETF will be put to bed in 2019, I think 2018 is out of equation now, we will certainly reach a point that those applying for ETF will meet all the criteria of SEC and SEC won't have any other option but to approved it, but my fear is that this could lead to abuse because other Altcoin even DogeCoin could apply for ETF

No one need to sell at a loss unless you seriously need money, it is not particular about bounty tokens alone even the investment one made in some projects are down and currently at loss,a nd when one need money and don't want to borrow next thing todo is to sell part of these investment to meet the present need

You do not give a definition for Shitcoins, to me they fall into different category because there are some that mere reading through their website you can understand that the project is going no where and are just here to raise money, there is another that have good idea but no real team behind it to make the idea a reality while another is a good project and relatively good team but have nothing to lose, sell their tokens and leave the project to die.

I don't think Satoshi still lurk around this forum, I still feel Satoshi is more of a group of individual not a single person. If Satoshi still lurk around  and is one single person he would have been tempted to move some of his coins in response to the debate in the space. Satoshi is one of the richest individual in the space and money and power is a strong tool to possess.
