Hopefully I will be able to act on the dedication to help us achieve a dynamically stable system which minimizes suffering but embraces change.

Duh of course. They grew up with it.  But also I being younger they are not as wise as they lack experience like the market crashes of old.

No one guarantees anything.  This is why it is extra important to not trust anyone's recommendtions without doing your own research and then keep it mind that even then things are uncertain.  The healthiest markets have bear periods and also crashes.

A lot of people are saying ether and Bitcoin but these are far from stable.   This is not a bad thing as I anticipate growth.   Ironically enough I see really stable less popular coins.

I kick myself so much for panicking and selling in the past.  Not only didn't gain massive wealth (ether used to be 50 cents a pop) but actually loss money trying 'stop loss' strategy.  It was panicking.

One problem is that these are fuzzy terms.  What is 'high'?  What is 'low'?  It would be neat to see how fuzzy logic deals with these things - but anyways it is definitely tough for amateurs who don't have a theoretical foundation thus have to go with their naive understanding and all the fallacies it brings.  

Is there any rules anyone here has learned for what is high and what is low?

Low volume coins often sizzle but every now and then are a diamond in the rough.  What matters is if they are being developed and volume is waiting for proof of concept.   Unfortunately it is hard to predict these.

Patience is one of many keys.  You also need some wisdom, courage, and acceptance amongst many other things.  But yes patience is a very important key.

The problem with patience is the human mind tends to go for things which benefit them in the moment.  For this wisdom, courage, and acceptance are all needed.  Accept the bumpy ride and know when to exit and when to get back on.

when coins are this volatile, and thus prone to rise or drop given any small news item or market fluctuation, one might need to redefine what it means to 'drop'.  surely the minute to minute stuff counts.  if you look at overall 5 year picture a very different definition of drop occurs - and yes it does but not right now.

Money grabbers mostly.  Speculators the money grabbers are grabbing money from. 
If people stopped investing there wouldn't be as many.  Too bad as there are serious game changers in there who could use the investments.

Unless you do a lot of research put a lot into the big established coins. I would go with anything Cryptsy has like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin which have solid 'longterm' futures.

Very high. Way too many lessons to learn.  You naively expect one thing other things happen.  Impulses and rationality can both be wrong.  Lots of fallacies in beginner thinking.

Sometimes when moving to a new smart contract or blockchain you have to reissue coins to all the holders!  There is no way around this, got any alternatives?

Wait until after the lightening network gets going!  Litecoin as one of the big players in the lightening network is going to gain so much utility.  Lots of bitcoin alternatives will be pointless and it will be back to the good old days of the gold and silver giants for the exchange of value coins.

una parte de estas personas está actuando emocionalmente en lugar de racionalmente. por lo tanto, no es un buen indicador

disculpe mi mal español

It is somewhat akin to the flocking mechanisms of bird flocks (or crab swarms, whatever).    There might be some trigger, in terms of news or rumor, and then a collective movement in one way or another based on the collective emotions and rationality of traders.  A good strategy might even be to follow the swarm in terms of coming predictions.

Love the ability to purchase more and more via the conversion of crypto to gift card but this is a far far stretch from 'starbucks accepting crypto'!  Actual crypto coin card readers in starbucks would be where I would put that line.  Though I would much rather go almost anywhere else around here.

Just trying to understand where you are coming from:  why do you need a blockchain (decentralized) based solution for something that generally doesn't really involve trust issues?  You do state that the problem is people not being motivated to be less wasteful thus a incentive based system, but this can be done with any centralized service with the same extent of security and privacy really.

Just trying understand - you are offering a 0% fee platform for selling goods which will be supported by an additional subscription based service. 

First I am assuming the subscriptions will happen through the smart contract making things trustless and transparent.   

Second I am assuming the customers will still pay gas fees. 

Third the utility you are offering is in the marketplace people will use when using your token?

It is totally to streamline distribution in the case of token ICOs as it gives the smart contract a way to know who to send the tokens to without a lot of developer overhead.
