I think one of the main reason why ICO failed is because of few interest in the marketplace. I recently joined ICO and where not able to reached the soft cap. One major reason they state is because of the volatility of the market wherein ETH falls really low and the market acceptance was low as well. Mostly probably their should be a twik in the process since the project is very promising. 

I also utilized coinmarketcap since it provides already the details of the Alts, plus those alts existing in coinmarketcap is already a project that is on the working stage, meaning ICO is done funding requirement was met. For ICO Alts, my reference is ICO bench and another website bountylord to have a glance about new ICO's in the market.

I would advice to put 33% on BTC, 33% on ETH and another 33% to other Alts, I recommends CREDITS. Check it out, the value of this token will eventually increase more. The project ICO finishes its hardcap on a very short period which means that people acceptance is highly there. So check it out mate.

Correct so many people now joining bounty programs, and for me that is ok since it creates more awareness through a lot of people about projects. Currenty, bitcointalk already have there merit system in place and that's actually what makes it hard now to rank up in order to be paid nicely. Just keep providing valuable comments in the marketplace, it will come back to you in a nice way.

I think this is great but banning only crypto currency which is not legit. This way, we know that anything posted in google, they already reviewed and that means its all legitimate projects. They only thing we have to verify is they project will be successful or not. Go ahead google but don't ban all.

Yes it depend on the ICO on which exchange they are going to be listed. So far, I just experience three exchanges namely; houbi, kucoin and idex.The transaction I did went ok, so  its good to go and I’ll use it again next time.

i did not directly trade in stock market but i invested through a fund manager. I just invested a small amount but its already a material amount for me. I did not touch the investment for three years and when i decide to withdraw it after 3 years, I lost around 40% of my investment. Its sad but thats the reality of investment: there are risk. In BTC, there are much greater risk but greater return as well in a short am

Same here, these are the two major player right now and they will continue to dominate the market. But in addition, I also think the LYMP (LYM), Beluga (BBI) and Gilgamesh (GIL) is going to have a bright future as the usability of the coin is very much needed.

You're right. Reading whitepaper is very important to really learn about the full picture of the project. Every details are there. Sometimes it just that the whitepaper is too long. There are time that I'm only reading the important pages as you mentioned. Then I'll go ahead with my decision if to take part of not. But yeah, please read the whitepaper to know the project. Cheer guys.

The only way to know which coin is good is to spend time with it. Meaning, know all the details about it. Read white paper, the team, the project itself, the partnership and so on. Those are factors very necessary to know if the coins is good or not.

There are pros and cons if you buy during ICO and if you buy during exchange already. ICO is great because you can received bonuses and discount. The only problem is when the ICO did not reach the target investment and your investment is in trouble. Now, exchange resolve the issue about the project since it already able to reach the exchange, the only thing is, most token increase during the exchange period higher than the ICO price. No discount or bonuses whatsoever. But there are a lot of times that exchange price is lower than ICO then that is a good buy. If you believe in the project then go ahead. Pick any option, you're in track.

I think credits is going to be great. the project is great and the only thing they have to prove is the full delivery of the project. I joined it's bounty program as well and I'm sure it will create a massive breakthrough during year 2018.

I agree with you. Yes, there is definitely a chance that it will happen. But as you said, not in the near future. the price gap between bitcoin and ETH is very high and that will take years and will take a lot of peoples acceptance to ETH before it will happen. Lets wait and see.

I do believe as well that Altcoins will have a good future as long that this coin is legit and will have a good use for the community.  ICO and Alts serves as new idea being form in the blockchain system which what is our digital community is requiring. I hope that this will be put in place and in use in the near future.

Basically right . Holding a coin during this rainy season will be the best option. Its like, don’t do anything right now. As long you are holding a legit and a coin which is already tested by time. And I’m soure as well that there are coins that will make it big this year.

 In choosing a coin, I basically reviewing the whitepaper. Checking if the project is viable in the blockchain community. Checking also the team and partnership is very crucial in the decision. So goodluck to us

I have the same felling. fOr sure majority of legitimate and valuable token will grow this year. Im currently holding chsb, lymp and credits. I’m sure they sill have there share in the marketplace.

hmm, I'll check this out. So this platform is also like bitcointalk that you provide your feedback and later on pays. But I saw one of the comment here that they cannot yet transfer the coins to a wallet for some technical concern.

I usually use bountylord for reference as it provides all the needed information and link in just one viewing.  Then from their, I'm reviewing the background of the company then I'll join if it does pass my criteria.

Yes of course a product is a huge factor for the project. Imagine if you already have a working product and you are just utilizing the block chain or a crypto to just further and enhance your business. Many investor will be very interested on the project since you have a working product already.
