There is an ico from the Krypital team: Merculet. The project of this team was quite successful before: Cybermiles, Arcblock. Do you think this is a good ico? Should continue to join ico in the moment?

As for the present market status, most of the Altcoins, especially those who were in the ranking (Top Tier), are all green while BTC is chopping in a range. I have found a new setup for my trading plan but I'm still cutting down trades until bitcoin gives a clear direction for the market. Even this is good news for traders like me, don't let the greediness get over your heads. Don't make indecisive decisions during this green flag days, consider a bigger time frame if planning to sell immediately. I know trades were bound to happen for us to gain profits, but you still have to go with a higher probability to maximize it.

Are you picky with ICOs?

I think you'd better invest in Aion and Cardano. I think both altcoins have the potential to grow. You can also add ethereum as a better investment of both altcoins and have a higher potential.

Hello everyone,have like 1.5k $ and want to buy 2-3 alts during this dip and thinking about :
Cardano,Icon,Aion,Bitcoin Cash or Ripple.

All of them are sh1tcoins and have zero usecase but at least share your opinions what you think suits best my 1500$

I will tell you where to find good ico and then it is left for you to do your research and find the one that best fits you or the one you really like and believe in their vision. I will recommend you visit icodrops, they list good ICO'S

I currently have 5 ETH. I should buy an ICO. I need advice from you. please give me a list of trusted ico

ICOs is just a small stage of a company and nothing is stable during that stage.

Also IDEX is a graveyard for a lot of ICOS

There are many ICOs out there, but more than 50% of them fail.
From my analogy, could this be the reasons why ICOs fail?
1. Being too complicated:
If you want investors to favour your ICO, make sure they understand your coin offering. Be concise yet interesting, creative yet not too ‘techy’ and try to explain concepts from scratch. Of course, the detail you go into is likely to depend on your target audience.
2. No unique Use case and lack of creativity:
The reality is, ICOs are not straightforward and with new ideas and concepts arising daily, you need to get noticed and that means coming up with some unique Use case
So, before a developer even attempts to launch an ICO or enter the crypto world, ask yourself: "What will make investors choose this particular ICO over a competitor’s ICO?"
I believe the list continues.

Pre sale is just a part of ICO only. Buying in early stages can make you rich but you need to spot a good project.

When is better to buy crypto, on pre sale or on ICO? When you buy on presale, you can get good bonuses, however when you buy on ICO you have a better gurantee not to be scammed.

When I joined the forum in autumn 2017 I noticed that some posts were carrying a signature to promote ICOs, nowadays I see a signature in literally every post

Guys hello to all, maybe somewhere that already created such a thread, but I'll try to ask again Recently, I increasingly see that people get quite ridiculous amounts for participating in the bounty, for example, when compared with what was 5 months old back, the amounts are absolutely ridiculous. Do you think this is a temporary phenomenon? Or is the bounty dying? Thanks to everyone, I really want to hear the opinion of people of the rank of Hero and Legendary.

Link on thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3200601

it's really hard to say who is the good or bad, or like the scam or not, sometimes those project seems promising and really has a good community and many more, it was like disguising in a better way, so It's really hard to figure out that, and sometimes the one that really worst in every aspect is the one that will be successful. So better to take some time reviewing each phase and try to consult with others, friends or the one that is more experienced than you

You can't always be sure if a project scam or not. But I decided to make a list of steps every newbie should cross before investing a project  

Step 1 - you need to visit a website. You need to make sure there is white paper, team, advisors and links to social networks (a project without this information can't be trusted);

Step 2 - you need to read a white paper carefully. Pay your attention to the idea, concept and realization;

Step 3 - check out all social networks and blogs. If the project is alive there should be regular updates;

Step 4 - you need to contact the team. The feedback is very important thing. If the team doesn't answer you it is a bad sign;

Step 5 - join this project community (telegram chat or btctalk tread). There should be 24/7 communication;

Step 6 - google information about the project. Read articles about the project, try to find team interview and events they recently visited. It is good if a company exists for a couple of years, has its history and generates revenue;

Step 7 - read information about advisors. If advisors have a good reputation and they have their successful projects.


Here are good developed communities examples:

Now the market is falling and I'm sure that in 2 weeks we will see growth again, so I see a long-term outlook for my investments 

Do you think the market will stay green or turn red?

It not an easy call

I say green

From my own understanding, experience is quite an important factor to be considered before embarking on any investment that is how knowledgeable you are in what you are about to Doan and this also applies to crypto investment. Investment diversification shoukd also be explored, thereby not putting all your funds in a particular investment portfolio to avoid total loss of investment.

How risky for beginner to invest in cryptocurrency? What kind of risk factor and what are the precautions?

I learned about the cryptocurrency in 2014 from social networks, then this industry is just beginning to develop and there was little information about the cryptocurrency, but i followed with interest and studied the new for me industry cryptocurrency. I bought my first bitcoin in 2015, somewhere for 900$, and these investments brought me a good profit.
