The lack of consensus is due to some developers believe that the upgrade can be done with doing any hard fork. The upgrade can done by just defining the changes without changing the rules. If this is the case, they should deliberate the changes again whether to do soft fork or hard fork. Nonetheless, Ethereum Classic is still far behind Ethereum.

Certainly agree with you that scalping is very risky especially for newbie in trading. I'm assuming that the one who started this thread is a newbie based on his question. Scalping is based on charts and more technical analysis which is for experienced traders. Better to start with simple trading. Doubling your money is a possibility also with the current bullish period. You just need to choose a strong coin.

Don't forget the fact that Ethereum developers has lined up the series of upgrades that may put Ethereum much closer to bitcoin. The good thing about Ethereum is the continuous development for the better. The future lies brightly, expect increases as the market pointing to the much awaited bullrun.

Research about the project and of course don't forget about the team composition. The team is I think one of the important things to consider. There is a lot of great ICOs nowadays, but as the number increases, the scammers also increases. Scammers take this as opportunities to go with the flow. That's where the miney is, as they say.

Bitcoin hard forks are primarily used to improve the current bitcoin. This new hard fork, called reverse bitcoin hard fork, is designed to put bitcoin in mainstream. Again all hard forks are good as they are presented, but do not perform well as put into reality. This is the reason why they are sometimes called nkn-sense fork.

This advice I think is the nth time here in the forum. But still much appreciated. This is just to remind every crypto trader especially those new comers. Even the most popular exchanges can be hacked. Few weeks ago binance had been hacked. Good thing it was traced early to prevent further loses.

I'm not surprise that these days where bitcoin is rising nicely, technical analysis will continue to come out whether it's positive or negative news. As of now, bitcoin is growing nicely. Technical charts of weekly assessment might be a good one. So, bitcoin traders are really maximing the current conditions. No matter how technical analysis will come out, traders will continue to flood the exchanges.

Your strategy is typically based on luck. But, I would say this is a good strategy as long as you're investment is the amount that you can afford to lose. Since altcoins in the bottom offers more percent profit compared to top 50 coins, you don't need to put a huge amount.

Why give up in cryptocurrency? There are people who get fortune here; though there are people who are not fortunate enough. But, cryptocurrency is not about luck, it's about strategies and techniques. For sure, there'll be times you'll lose, but you need to set up everything such that if you lose some, make sure you win some and you learn some. Your story is very encouraging not to lose hope.

This move by the owner of facebook might be a game-changer strategy that might bring cryptocurrency to be known to more and more people. We know that social media have huge impact in terms of dissiminating information. Facebook is very influencial these days.

Craig Wright proclaiming himself as the real Satoshi Nakamoto is making big news. He just registered it in the US. But, US copyright office only accepting the regiatration doesn't necesaarily that he is the real one. The copyright office said anyone can register. So, registration is not a validity of CW's claim.

I'll assume that you enter cryptocurrency trading, not forex trading. Actually, last year was a year of hard times in cryptocurrency including trading. I'm sure you knew that before you resigned. If you have not so good strategy in trading, you might end up broke. Just an advice, keep on learning proven strategies. This year might bring you fortune in trading.

There are bounty campaigns these days that are still profitable, but most likely won't make you rich. With the number of bounty hunters these days, and the current situation of the cryptocurrency market, it would be hard to be rich by just joining bounty campaigns.

Altcoins for less transaction fees is a good alternative for bitcoin transaction. We already know that as the price of bitcoin rises, so with the number of transactions, so with the transaction fees. However, altcoins might have less percent increase in value than bitcoin, which makes it less valued. So, better to choose the one which is on the rise.

The first 20 altcoins will most likely give you profit when bullrun comes. But, if you want a higher profit, choosing an altcoin with very low price but included in the top 50 might be a good choice. This coin might rally with a higher rate of return.

ICO regulations is a good idea to reduce scams and frauds in ICO investments. But, which regulatory body will do the tasks? SEC might be an option but will need to setup properly the rules and regulations. And considering that would only be available in countries which recognize cryptocurrency.

It's hard to choice one from them considering both of them have similar functionality. Both of them support smart contracts and dapps. In terms of the blockchain,  I would prefer Cardano over EOS because in my opinion PoS is more secure than DPoS. Though only time can tell which one will be better.

Though Bitband STO offering had been a success, it doesn's necessarily mean that STO is the next generation of ICO. The success is due to Bitband's credibility through years of lending services. However, we are not guaranteed of the succeeding STO's success. Let's wait and see what will happen to this project. One thing for sure, this platform uses the blockchain efficiency to redefine lending system.

The competition of TRON, Ethereum, and EOS is healthy for the cryptocurrency world. These these three are really competing much to become king of smart contracts and dexentralized applications. TRON has already improved in terms of the bumber of transactions compared to ETH. But, ETH would still be the number 1 altcoins.

Yes, BTC had a sharp fall few hours ago, but I think it is still good to buy significantly strong coins including BTC simply because they are being sold at discounted prices. Nothing to worry regarding the sharp fall as long as the market recovers quickly.
