Owww, you must be so shattered. Sorry to hear that. There were just so many people that took pleasure in scamming others. Don't let this experience of your's stop you from investing again. But next time remember to diversify and find time to study all there is to know about the particular ICO and it's team before entrusting them your fiat.

This is certainly not the proper time to retrieve any loss you have come about by selling your altcoins. Doing this will only magnify your dilemma. I will not recommend trading because i do not have any slightest idea of how it's done. A more sensible thing to do during this bearish market is to buy more to increase whatever there is in your portfolio and hold.

No it will not. We should not forget that nothing goes up in a straight line forever. Almost every market crash is a result of panic selling due to the lacking of proper evaluation of the fundamental of a market condition. Cryptocurrencies are so highly and overly volatile and there’s a possibility that many coins may fail or are downright scams. Who knows what will happen in the coming days?

Although bitcoin's value is on the verge of a sinking boat right now, however it's popularity will never ceases. Bitcoin will still and remain the number one cryptocurrency and most sought after by most of crypto investors.

It's still is. The future of ethereum contains a lot more hopes than Bitcoin does. Even with the cyber attacks and a history of hard forking, ethereum’s blockchain remains in demand. It stands out amongst the current crop of blockchain technologies as being the best hope we have of developing a platform that can actually deliver on high expectations. Furthermore there are currently more transactions on the ethereum blockchain compared to bitcoin's. That's why in the long run, investing in ethereum will certainly give us returns we never could have imagined.

We cannot blame them for doing this. Some ICO's were just following a complete integration with Ocular’s Anti- Money Laundering (AML) compliance platform that provides instant verification of a customer`s background (KYC). We as participants to this ICO just have to trust them that our informations will be safely handled.

I am a simple home maker. And very thankful that bitcoin came into my life. I now have the ability to bring in fiat again after a long time. Although i'm still in the process of waiting for those hard earned tokens to be transferred in my wallet. But still, at least i have something to look forward to. That's why i will always be indebted to bitcoin.

Very well said. "To travel is to live", by Hans Christian Andersen. Nobody could've express it more beautifully than Sir Hans.
To travel is to explore different amazing and extraordinary places. To be able to meet fabulous people from all over the world and be more aware of their cultures. If ever my earnings in campaigns will permit it, i'm planning to take my whole family on a travel adventure. Somewhere we can build some lasting memories.

During rip-roaring bull markets, like we’re experiencing now, buying low and selling high, should be our undertaking. But after months of studying the market, i've come up to the most logical conclusion; that is to buy low and hold. This way it’s impossible to ever lose.

We live in a world where money is necessary. Money is just another form of energy, and it’s what we attach to it that becomes the problem. It is important for nothing more than meeting our basic needs. It is NOT as important as relationships and the best we can do is to keep our relationship with money in check. Do not make the acquiring of it more important than anything else.

My selling point will be the time when i can see that my coins have already tripled my capital, nothing else. For the tokens that had been rewarded to me in bounty campaigns, my time frame is and will always be 2-3 months time after they hit the exchanges, then sell. I have to taste the fruit of my labor, right? Feel so good every time.

Everybody is entitled to encounter the prosperity that bitcoin has to offer. And that is everybody whatever level in the society they belong to, as long as they have the capital to begin with. They wanted to grasp that rare opportunity of having that additional income for continuous flowing of food in the table. I only have one question, do you venture into something you were "totally unknowledgeable" especially if it involved your hard earned fiat? No i don't think so.

Subsequent to your decision to quit your stable job, i can see that you've devoted all your time to cryptocurrency. Without question you got a lot of things going on OP. And that is good for you. Well there's no turning back now. I sure wish that you get ahead big time in your new world. Hats off to your confident and courageous decision. All the luck.

As of this writing eh $7,000 something ang price ng bitcoin. Mas mababa pa dun $8k that you've asked. Isa lang talaga ang pinatunayan nito na bitcoin is superbly unpredictable. Talagang walang kasiguruhan. From the time na ipinost mo itong topic na ito, in just a matter of days eh halos $1k agad ang ibinaba ng price niya. Sa palagay ko, pagpasok ng "Ber months" ay dun pa lang magsisimulang humataw pataas ang value ng bitcoin. And by December it's value will be $15K. Sana.

Well you've come along this far so why not wait for a little bit more? Selling now will cause you great damage although if selling now will give you even a teeny-weeny profit then run along and exchange that coin to fiat. Even a little profit will go a long way and it's much better than absolutely nothing.

We need to diversify because it is the wisest and logical thing to do. Diversifying makes our portfolio build stability which in return helps us to reach our long range financial goals.

Respect is one of mankind’s most noble sentiments. The highest levels of respect are always earned – never given. One of the best ways to show respect for someone, is to allow others to have and express their own point of views and truly listen - regardless of whether we agree with them or not. And that is the right thing to do.

You were undeniably scammed. No bounty campaign participant were demanded to pay just so for him/her to be compensated for the work he'd accomplished. Otherwise it's the other way around. You should be the one demanding payment from them. I'm just glad that i still haven't experience this kind of scenario.
Bitcoin community, let us all be perceptive if something like this comes up again and immediately report them.

Seriously? KYC for airdrops? This is not good, absolutely not. Doing KYC for airdrops were without a doubt very much inappropriate at all. Airdrops gives us short supply of tokens to which the equivalent fiat is very meager and inadequate. Most of them even have no value at all or to say the least, worthless. If airdrops will require KYC, i don't think not a single soul will ever do airdrops again. Unless it's going to be a bitcoin airdrop.  (in my dreams).

Bitcoin's original idea was for it to be a form of peer-to-peer, unregulated cryptocurrency that could be used to pay for any product or service across the entire world. But due to its rapid rise, and the kind of technology and power required to verify transactions, its use as digital currency has waned. That's why large majority of Bitcoin transactions have become investment based that has led to a lot of uncertainty, and that’s why its value keeps changing.
