It depends on what you want from the forum. Not everyone necessarily need money from the forum. Some just need the circle for information and also to transfer information. Whichever way you need to spend time on the forum. In previous years there were more blockchain professionals here than crypto newbies, this makes information a vital tool.  Signature was more rewarding then because everyone was an investor, few were interested in signature. They  rarely come only and there visits were resourceful.

Look at it! The team is looking for a cheap listing, 0.1 BTC. None of the top exchanges will even take 10 btc let alone 1btc. Funds for listing at least on regular should be considered while preparing for a project. This should also not be the reason or excuse why the token should not get listed if the project is a good one. The project wanted to be scammed, I don't have account with such exchanges and wont.

It was yesterday I got to know HITBTC has started far back as 2013 and resident in the USA. First, residing in the USA gives me a level of confidence that it cant go free if it was alleged of scam and 5 years of trackrecord as an exchange is not a joke. How many exchanges can survive it? Though it has not been a large volume trade exchange but it has been consistent. Lately it has been on the top 5 exchanges that trade large volume bitcoin

Surviving this time requires intelligent strategies. Investment should be lucrative but buying from market seems profitable than ICO investment now. Buying from the deep is a wise decision but when can one say we are at the bottom of the depth. Holding is the only strategy for investment now. Who can really invest so much now when others have lost confidence in the space?

There are more decentralized exchanges than in previous years. IDEX top one of the largest volume exchanges mainly for erc20 tokens. In more than 7 months have not used etherdelta base on the scam allegation/hack. Security is the most important factor of any exchange and thats my maon concern with all these decentralized exchanges. It will be safer with other exchanges also

The investors made the post when the ICO dumps started and it has lasted 5 months of the dump. The percentage of success had been slimmer but it is helping in shaking away some crooked investment strategies. The resultant effect has been felt on ethereum price and project teams had been responsible for the dump; selling at a ridiculously low price to get out fund fast.

The opening post does not refer to members of this forum to be involved in such allegation but it is a statement every where to frustrated investors and enemies of the space. It might be difficult to handle by new investors but old investor have had similar down trend in the past. We just hope the ETF succeed at least enhance confidence to more new traders and increase volume most especially in bitcoin for now.

Checking the record on coinmarketcap, It has never hit $200. Why the question with again?

It might be easy to create an ERC20 token in 10 minute but should not be that cheap.

I dont understand why people think BTC position and price is the dominant factor over all other altcoins from their percentage margin dump. The market is open to all and I expect some stability in dollar price for some coins. At least not all coins should have that turbulence. It wasnt like this until this year and more also, It retains a large portion of the whole crypto space

He must have meant scam project coin. Research states over 80% project result in scam, sometimes the project produce a scam coin than never survive. it either does not exchanges or do not stay beyond 4 months on the market

i prefer other topics that can be sustainable to questioning the stability of the market. There is no time in this year that one categorically state the market is stable. We just believe the $6k is a mark the market ensure it doesn't force down. If it can stay above this mark for the next 4-5 weeks, towards the ETF approval, we expect the coin to likely give traders confidence and revive the markets for a large volume.

Is more about the trade volume. If you are checking the price,check the trade volume also, it a big factor for the slump. If you can understand why people dont purchase bitcoin as before then u can have the idea for the slump. It has declined massively.  The good news should improve confidence in the traders but the other way. Not everything is caused by the ETF postponement.

Just like every blind man will need a man to put him to direction, even if he had failed in many times, so is whitepaper. Have said it severally that the sermon of reading whitepaper as the main criterion of legit project should have been of the past. However, we still need to look through whitepaper as the second yard stick. If we are sure the team is legit, know their track record, then can consider the project itself. Everything about a project should be explanatory in a whitepaper.

It will be mere self deception to call it a currency. Out of all the 3 purposes of invention for currency, it is only serving a purpose now. It should functions as a medium of exchange, a unit of account, and a store of value but only serves a medium of exchange. Its volatility has regularly undermine the other purposes of invention and currency. It also lack a legal security and vulnerable to hack and theft, which a lot of development are improving but cant out-rightly prevented.

If the trend continues and the same factors that are responsible for the dump remains, the price will go lower than $200. The amount of supply is so high than the demand and the projects are flooding the market with ethereum as soon as their crowdsale is over.

Are there no further stake calculation to token before distribution on the spreadsheet?

Am expecting a good substitute for ethereum now. The coin cant handle the large use. The more the use the lower the price which i think it go will another way with some other coins like neo and bitcoin etc. Neo also has a big community but come later to the market,  and ethereum can be the competitor for now not bitcoin.

from the time that the dumps started, the plan was to crash the price so as to start all over again. The beleive was that the low price will encourage large investors all over again; which is a very wrong opinion to me. Even at this price.investors are careful to put money and its factor to the low trade volume in the space. To keep above $6000 is a lot of work financially and will expect it to be rewarded in future.

Just try not to trade with ethereum as exchange unit now, I dont seem to have enough confidence with the coin right now. The community around bitcoin staying above $6000 looks stronger than ethereum. If you check the coin decline lately,it is far deeper than bitcoin , and it is not attempting to revive at all at those slumps. This makes the coin not a smart move and not good to keep now.
