Unless you're one of these "lower middle-class" optimistic dreamers that thought buying in at 17K was a good idea, you should be fine. The technology is barely getting started, this wasn't so much a classic bubble as it was a hiccup showing us the potential of what it can bring. Keep working those "safe" jobs and invest smart, or rather, start something of your own because even if the market crashes and burns... the only people with smiles on their faces are the ones that know they have the tools to build it all back up again.

Happy investings,

The DIZ team

Well, see an ICO is essentially a marketing campaign to gather funds for a new startup. To say you want to donate to an ICO is like wanting to donate funds to Apple or Microsoft. Though it is a sweet thought (wanting to keep the greed out of the equation) it's unlikely people will donate unless the idea itself is starting a charity or NGO. If say, the ICO were for an organisation that wants to rescue stray dogs and find new loving owners for them then donation would be an amazing idea! If, however, the startup was aiming to start a factory for a new stylish set of headphones it would be unlikely anyone would want to donate to the project.

Perhaps what you're referring to is something closer to crowdfunding. In this way, smaller startups can receive a (significantly smaller) lump sum to start on a project they would otherwise have no way of starting. With crowdfunding the company doesn't actually distribute tokens but rather promises their contributors a kind of reward for their participation, like a t-shirt or thank you card.

To be honest, there are plenty of organisations around the world that desperately need donations from generous people like yourself. It may not become the next Fortune 500 company but you may very well make a difference in a single person's, or a stray puppy's, life. The kind nature of your question is admirable though, keep it up!

That's exactly correct. Though the initial investors who saw the potential in these back in '09-'12 are probably very happy with their choice in hodling, this won't be the case any longer. The potential of blockchain technology and Satoshi's ideal for the perfect online cash system were never intended to be held like assets. The whole point of mimicking the gold standard was to implement a system that couldn't suffer inflation due to the printing of fictitious new tokens. The technology we're developing is real, the implementation of it, however, is still at its early stages. So long as this community continues to transfer the coins and educating new investors on how they can benefit from using these rather than fiat, it'll continue to grow. Hodling forever is basically like token burning, having them sit in wallets until the end of days. Media has always been the governments' and banks' means for manipulating the masses, but now information is uncontrolled and anyone can educate to what is really happening. We can let others know that the potential for a decentralised economy is still alive and well regardless of what some stockbrokers have to say about it when compared to the USD value. So yeah, the tech is alive and kicking, and the markets will pick back up, but we have to do our part as well. Using and educating.

Fixed! Thanks
