the trend has changed, is now a buying market, buy as much as you can. Bear market is at the deepest price where one can make the highest gain with a long term plan. The long term plan depends on the approach of the bull run, not necessarily 2-5 years. The idea of hodling is changing, most people dont tell people this to pull traders to market when the market is healthy and make them victim of the dump. no matter the condition of the market the best strategy is to hold except for extreme cases of a true news of a dying token.

bitcoin still looks like the best buy now until we see a slight upward movement in the next few weeks followed by some side way movement for some weeks also. Other altcoin will can be considerably acquired now especially for token that has prospect and significant price dip. Fiat is more important in the market than flipping token.

Bitcoin reward rarely has vacant slots and they demand high post members with high number of posts per week to get highest pay, which is challenging in a forum where spam are diligently monitored and deleted. The highest paid in bitcoin can give a little above 2 btc thoughout the year, and there is only one campaign that offers this, where as, under normal market condition an altcoin campaign within 2 month can make >1 btc for high rank members. Altcoin was not has profitable this even for the highest rank project but the best idea is to hold such coins for the coming bull market run

Its a time for shake off in the space; shake off in ICOs, and price manipulation. More work is going into the space to amend some part of the space within some countries. Over the years we have looked down on the influence of governments and now we have seen some influence. Some believe cryptocurrency might not come back without the ETF approval, however, 9 disapproval had gone with no negative effect. Sometimes I don't know what to believe because the space is still young and some trends are not familiar.

Everyone is now thinking the same way. It is a difficult to know when a token is at its peak, the peak of last bull run was only for a day and went side ways. No one can under estimate the value of Fiat in the space, another alternative is the stable coin which can keep the value of any coin through any market run; bear or bull. The trend will always be the same, so hodling a fools' claim in a bull run, it is only useful in the bear market.

I am rightly corrected. its per post

I wont wonder why the campaign is always looking for people. Its payment is ridiculous low, less than $2

I have been willing to see a thread like this to discuss cryptocurrency in 2018 and several occurrences and impact on the space. A 5 year individual in the space should never be affected with the bear market if he had prepared so well. My basic lesson is never hodl in a bull market, you can hodl in bear market. There is no advantage to have held on to one's profit at the climax or peak of bull price.

most projects in 2017 are overvalued and may never reach the ICO value in bitcoin or ethereum, There are fewer successful project this year, better valued and scam had been considerably contained during the period. So i will advice one to look at some project in the q2,q3 and q4 of 2018 that are already listed on exchange and dumped in price. Also some of the project in the top 100 on the coinmarketcap that had been there for 1-2 years.

Reading the last few threads, it is obvious people are ready for any eventuality in the space with the price dump, They are really frustrated.

There is higher percentage of any project getting into market dropping in price but at the bottom of the price market I dont expect anything close to -30% price dump, unlike the project that started at last year December. Most ICO after raising fund had failed to get listed with the fear of the bear market, which might be understandable to a certain extent. They can still allow on the counter transaction if possible for interested investors in some countries.

Moving coin to safer place does not prevent its dump and only few projects are getting through this period. Even bitcoin is struggling because of the price decline, a lot of miners has exit and other downturns. At this lowest price, holding is the best option against OP message.

I think the stakes update should be followed with token calculation. let us also know what our activities worth. I also believe the address submission for token distribution has been temporarily suspended but not actually stated or announced. there are so many complains on the wallet for now

I used to think Satoshi invented this forum, that he invented the forum to help discuss the promotion of the token and community. If he did, who got the forum administration employed ? and if he was not the one, then there was a link to him along the line of transferring the forum's leadership. He is not actually anonymous, am sure some people or organisation or government are hiding him

initially most ICOs are paid in bitcoin, now some ICOs still give hunters choices of payment in ethereum or ICO token at the point of token distribution. Last year ICO coin was preferable in its token but this year almost all coin had a very terrible price dump which makes bitcoin payment preferable. Bounty hunters entry to token market give a test to the liquidity of a token for at least some weeks of exchange listing.

some opinion says ethereum now has stronger competitor with better technology in continent and community where cryptocurrency is much appreciated. They believe the community and tech advantage is able to pull the price up. however, I consider the existing token on the platform already that have healthy trade in the market and the ethereum decentralized , they are capable of keeping the token sustainable for a longer time.

ERC20 has this depreciating effect on tokens on its platform now but I cant tell if exit from it is a solution now. Even token from team leader that are co-team leaders of RSK are not considering changing. It wont also be easy for project with different platform that have already being distributed.

Its a buying market but one should be very careful not to put money in dying project or dead project. The price slump is killing a lot of project now. They have spent all they had, some due to greediness, kept their funds in ethereum and bitcoin waiting to profit from the market if it grows, now fell into the market slump whereas reducing their capital grossly at -80 to -90%. Such project if acquired will turn to 0 before next bull run.

I never saw it that way until the price dump got this huge. The exchanges listed should not be as many but I think they are using the influence they got in the market and crypto space to make their token available on many exchanges as possible. It is surprising not to see the coin on coinmarketcap also, I don't  believe the coin is not making a high amount of trade enough to be listed on coinmarketcap.

The dimension looks different this time If all that am reading in the news is true, and it is difficult to say who is saying the truth. If we consider the unspoken response of the ICO, most of them are looking toward the end of 2019 either to raise fund, get listed on exchange or to fulfill some part of the road-map. It will take quality time but there are slated plans of execution in the coming year also eg. the bakkt trade, SEC proposal review and the expect bitcoin halving.
