I am not sure this is a very good idea. If you need your ETH in a week from now, first you won't get too much profit if you don't buy the riskier coins. Second, it is basically a smart thing to do to buy after a dip, but that is as long as you can wait for the price to increase again before you sell. If you have to sell it in 1 week from now you might hit another dipand lose money.

It's definitely not the end of crypto market, but the market haa been struggling for quite some time now. Every time it recovers from a dip, there are more bad news which cause a new dip. Hopefully this phase will end soon and the market will get back to the bull run.

I used to have about 15 alts in my portfolio but I found it very hard to mantain that as crypto trading is not my primary job. Right now I have 6, hopefully will buy more very soon.

I don't see any problem with that. Unless you are doing something illegal, in which case you can't really complain... there isn't really a risk in providing a photo of your ID. Identity theft is not as easy as it used to be and I doubt it can be done with a mere photo of your ID.

There are two main factors that make it appear as if ICOs are no longer profitable:
1. Way too many ICOs pop up every day. Some are scam, most of them are rubbish. But there are still lots of good ICOs out there. I don't think there are less successful projects now. It's just there are so many others which are not.
2. Most people think that a successful token will alwaya go 10x-100x within a few weeks after the listing. However, in many cases it takes way longer before the token explodes. People look for quick money and if that doesn't happen fast enough they treat the project as unsuccessful even though it might not be the case.

Worried is not the right word but I think the last bull run at the end of last year woke up some forces that we all wish were kept asleep. Everybody wants to get a piece of the pie now. If before government could ignore the market and let it grow, now they can't and big regulations are coming in. The problem with the market now is that it's not really decentrallized. Some very large whalea hold big portion of the market so it's pretty hard to predict what happens as we don't really know what are their interests.

I don't find the fact that projects require KYC for bounties very disturbing. After all this usually implies that the project is legit. The thing that does disturb though is projects that require KYC when claiming tokens without clearly notifying it. This has been happening with many projects lately and it is extremely annoying.

I would like to get access to the alpha. My specs are:

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
RAM: 16GB RAM
CPU: core i5-7400
Browers: Chrome and FireFox.

Wow that's the saddest thing I have heard this week. If I had such an amount I would backup my private key 10 times. I wonder how he actually lost it, must be some very bad luck as I'm sure he had backups.

Yeah, those are serious disadvantages of the current BTC. I wonder how much segwit and LN will actually affect those problems, and when we will see their effect.

That can never be a bad thing. BTC is useless without a big and strong community that believes in it. Although, there are bad effects when the community grows too fast. People enter the market without a slightest understanding of how things work and that usually results in a large volatility.

There is one clear benefit for me right now - profit. Although originally built to be a currency, I find it very hard to pay with BTC right now (due to several well known reasons), so the only benefit of holding BTC for me is the gains from the price increase.

There are less women than men involved in programming, on internet forums and on the investment business in general. Bitcoin is a subfield of those three, so it makes sense there are less women in Bitcoin. Now why there are less women involved in those fields? that is a hard question, and it's very unfortunate. Hopefully the numbers will balance in the upcoming years.

I don't think it will go much higher, there is goana be a sharp price decrease very soon.

Unless you are pretty sure you can earn much more money with crypto I would take the job. If you are not a pro, earning money from crypto is very unstable source of income.

Can't see why it's considered greedy. Is holding your money in your bank account greedy? By your logic every sort of investment is greedy, well maybe it is but there is nothing wrong about it.

Don't think Ethereum will reach BTC's market cap. Actually I don't see any coin reaching close to BTC.

IOTA for sure and NEO still has huge growth potential.

DAG is definitely the next big thing. I'm abit pissed I haven't found out about this before. Now it looks like it's been pumped way too much.

So, if I haven't got it all wrong, there is a great incentive for miners to mine Segwit blocks instead of old BTC blocks. There will be many more transactions inside each block, hence the total amount of transaction fees from each block will be much higher. If that's the case, the network would move to Segwit quickly, as people will have to follow the large pools to get their transactions confirmed in a reasonable time or pay substantially high fees.
