Hey, no problem it was quite fun for me!

I'm very sorry to hear that, i truly hope everything goes well for you and at least you come out with understanding of what this field entails, so when the time is right again, and if you decide to return, you'll return without having to spend hours and hours trying to understand this environment.

Best of luck, and i hope everything works out well for you in the end.

If you are unaware, this has been a thing. The majority of ICO's during the final months of 2018 were for DEXs, Binance and Huobi are both creating DEXs to be launched in a few months. This is definitely going to be a major area of focus upcoming, we are seeing a dynamic shift in terms of the meaning of decentralization; it's essentially has become a re-focus for many upcoming projects.

DEX's will ultimately control/handle more volume than CEX in the coming years, due to regulations and most of what the creator of this thread expressed.

There are only 2 types of people who attempt to discredit CMC. XRP Shills and misinformed/uneducated individuals in crypto. CMC's results are based on their perceptions, understanding and intuition about cryptos.

Every mcap site will always have different types of rankings, simply derived from information (usually total supplies, exchange volume manipulation) and etc. They are a gateway into crypto, they are not an authority to present you with every information for investments or understanding a particular crypto.

Individuals like to gauge crypto's performance based on CMC metrics, simply because it's exposed to the largest audiences, retaining the number 1 most used, highest-crypto traffic site for years now.

Never base an investment on 1 tool, resource or person. Gauge all crypto's through a variety of sources, feedback and a general understanding on how this space operates.

Overview

About CTE Advisor & T.k. Hamed:

Coin Trader‘s Evolution (CTE) Advisor was founded from the ashes of the first altcoin information site, Coins Source Inc (2013-2015), which innovated and transformed the crypto space entirely. There were many leftover pieces, contacts and ongoing project involvements, forming under a creative specific company to address these issues was needed.

I’ve been in crypto-currency since the very first alt-coins and invested in the first ICO’s on Bitcointalk.org. I continue to invest hundreds of hours on a weekly basis (researching, advising clients and etc.) and over the past 6 years, gained tens-of-thousands of hours of crypto-experiences. These unique experiences are specific to crypto, from development to community reception, SEM marketing and many other factors pertaining to what it takes to be a successful crypto.

Goodluck Sunny, been a big fan of your work since 2014.

Yeah, eventually someone will create this/pick-up the idea. It honestly woulden't be too difficult to code the interfaces or interactions with the crypto itself.

Looks like the team's lock-up period ended, so now entire team is dumping their NGC, we have more homeless in the world today because of NAGA.

Regardless, there will be a rebound eventually (maybe). Accumilators are watching and waiting.

Also, looks like the coin is down -92% since the ICO price, which makes among the worst performing ICO's.

I've had this idea for quite some time now, and yet to see any success (or real effort) in the creation of a blockchain, or some sort, of asset that derives value from shitcoins.  

Idea can be really novel, accepting any investment/token or asset that has any value, and issuing a new crypto (pegged at a certain valuation), where those shitcoins can be traded in for. Those shitcoins can all be eventually be burned off, thus creating a unifying crypto (for those who participated), even swapping in shit tokens for eternity, proportional to the cost of the new crypto asset.

This would be a legit project, based around community/investor participation, how a crypto should truly be.



I don't have time or the real desire to create any crypto anymore, i mostly advise teams in creating successful projects these days. Idea is open for anyone, and if this idea eventually does come to fruition, i would definitely be interested in assisting in building the foundation of this type of project.

people must still fall for these types of scams, otherwise i wouldn't be seeing this garbage everyday

In addition to this, i'm also seeking out the following:

Again, if you have experiences with these types of efforts, then feel free to msg me on Telegram: @tk808

I'm, i don't directly pay anyone, but i do advise ICO teams and often they are looking for qualified and skilled individuals. It's like a small network with me, but more personal. I have several contacts who i refer to teams, giving them an edge and basically free opportunities without looking for work directly.

It ultimately is in whoever's benefit, because my reputation (here especially) is pretty flawless, and i only seek out quality, promising ICOs. I get almost daily requests, but 95% of them are not up to my standards.

No scams, no "shitcoins," and etc, i extensively research coins/teams i advise, and gauge them under a lot of scrutiny.



I encourage anyone to msg me on telegram: @tk808 if you are interest, and to ultimately expedite communications

The biggest concern with projects such as this, is funding and how committed the team or yourself is to fulfilling every fundamental in building a framework. Egalitarian is a trigger word for me, as i've been around since the NEM days, the philosophy behind this all is really dear to my heart.

We are in an age, where coins such as this, will never be enormous due to the entry-barrier, in thousands/tens even hundreds of thousands in private investments are needed to successfully launch and grow a crypto.

 

I haven't been following BCH SV vs BCH war, but regardless, these are all profit driven endeavors. The whales have everything to gain right now from manipulating subject matters and pumping another fork. People will lose a lot of money, others will make millions. It all depends on your position. They have laid the bait out, for the average investor to bite into this latest fad.

Will it take hold, will we see a massive pump of BCH SV in the future, potentially. BCH SV is a crypto still, anything can happen. This is all uncharted waters for the most part. 

As you stated, value is derived from acceptance, mass acceptance or awareness leads to profit, nothing else. Anyone can claim anything, but is there real substance to back it up other than ideologies?

Many may feel the ever shrinking markets at time of writing, are a major cause of panic. Many that where here, and remember 2014-2017, felt the same way, many left, but those who stayed and invested with caution and certainty, made it out very wealthy.

My best advice to anyone in crypto right now, do not invest into ICO's, it just isn't worth it. Unless you have several hours per week to research, chances are you aren't going to find that next hidden gem. Coupled with the fact, that most teams operating ICO's in this climate are disillusioned by greed, greed that stemmed from earlier this year. Projects often that are entering crypto, are kickstarter-based projects, that have no real sensibility or insight on what truly makes a profitable investment for crypto enthusiasts. This will continue well into the future, ICOs for the most part, are dead.

Just like the markets flooded with 1000s of shitcoins, ICOs have reciprocated. Bad, terrible and failed ideas will occur over and over again, for every crypto that's seeking to acquire X niche, there were 3-5 coins prior that sought to accomplish the same things.

Innovation of technology, innovation of blockchains will always reign supreme. The fundamental building blocks for the future, resides within the top 50 of cryptos (for the most part)

Invest in projects with stability, and proven infrastructures/technology, there are a lot. Because, when the markets rebound, those coins, that 5-10% of coins, will be here for decades to come. Regardless of the market situation.

Coming out of this bear period, you will come to understand that the majority of cryptocurrencies right now, will be defunct/dead due to the markets, and the ever looming government interventions. You'll be left holding the bags.

History repeats itself, there is no end time to a solid crypto, just stages of growth/regression.

There are many who predicted 10k-20k... etc Bitcoin and claimed to be experts, high profile figures in other industries.

What we are witnessing, is the trends and historically accuracy about how Bitcoin's markets function. 5k Bitcoin was realized today, but, the market is still in downturn. It's these periods of high uncertainty is what dis-ways many from crypto. But, those who stay and invest properly will come out as the new kings in 2020-2021, just like those who made it out in 2017 for being diligent in their efforts during 2014-2017

STO will ultimately take over the ICO scene, strictly because big money needs to be secured by a larger body. Regardless, ICO will under-go the same secruitiny in the eyes of the law, it doesn't really matter. STO is a marketing gimmick, flagging to investors "yes we are compliant, and will always be compliant with the law." Some will still start scam STO's, but it will make it much easier to identify them, if you do some diligent research into the company, instead of everything behind the coin.

This is truly an interesting development, as crypto currency is basically self-regulating itself, and handing itself over entirely to governments to watch over. Going against every idealogy behind the formation of cryptocurrency, no one owns or has control over the network. Are these cryptocurrencies anymore? No, they are not. They are assets, governed by the law.

Or no one is.

There hasn't been much volatility in the past 7-8 months now, which is pretty unusual. Now, if you want to determine volatility based on how much USD Bitcoin can gain and lose, it's much higher than it was in previous years. But, relatively speaking, Bitcoin has been pretty stable, and most altcoins have followed the same pattern, losing and gaining in the area of 5%, which is pretty stable in contrast to 2013-2017, in which you could see wild swings of 10%, and not unusual that markets would seem to be dying one day, and then going into a major increase the next.

What does this all mean? It remains unknown what state we are in currently, there could be many more months of this stabilization, but with a negative down-turn of Bitcoin further. Many suspect otherwise, that Bitcoin is primed for gains by the end of this year, potentially into early 2019.


What i can say is volume has a lot to do with this, and liquidating large amounts of funds has little impact. In previous years, selling off 10k of any altcoin could collapse a market into a panic. Now that we are dealing with 10+ Billion volume per day, even selling off tens-of-thousdans of a particular altcoin won't even be noticed by the markets. Therefore, impacts from certain "whales" and large holders are easily mitigated by the sheer market volume and ability to liquidate.

In addition, there are a lot more exchanges, so the impact of one exchange can be localized. Prior to this and for example, Bitcoins being traded on MT. Gox represented almost all the volume for Bitcoin, every little dip and decrease affected Bitcoin's market on a grand scale.


This is basically a summary overview of where we are at. This can be applied to most high-profile coins in the top 50. There will always be pumps and anomalies, but, in the grand scope, things have been pretty stable.

XRP is a centralized scamcoin. Aside from that, these speculation threads/news articles do noone good, other than clickbaiting for views. The markets recovery is completely unknown, but it's highly unlikely XRP will ever go anywhere further on the markets, it suddenly won't increase by 1000% in under 2 months, without Bitcoin movement first.
