Still bullish as 3 years ago. Predicting the future is not in a man's capabilities, but cryptocurrencies are here to stay. I expect at least one big wave on the way up. Possibly two.

The newest expectation is November with the Bakkt launch! And then we have the ETF decision deadline for December, and then we have the last ETF decision deadline for February! We pretty much had an event potential cause for a bull market every month for a year, but it is never coming so far.

Short term trading requires much more skills than bounty actiities. The threshold for entering the market as a trader is much higher.
A mix of both will be appropriate, I guess, because you should know when to sell your bounty tokens, too.

I wasn't picky at all last year. But now, you don't have a choice! We have to be picky, because the market is really bad and all but the best projects are performing terrible on exchanges.

I don't see a place under the sun for altcoin, dash, NEM and all this variations of Bitcoin. Best case scenario, they will have some niche feature that Bitcoin does not have and serve a small niche market.

ETH is pretty depreciated against Bitcoin. Holo is still cheap in my opinion. All of the alts are basically at the bottom, but picking the right ones is not as easy as it used to be a year ago when there were 200-300 coins.

ETH overcoming BTC will mean a huge movement of money. And movement of money creates opportunities for profit either on the upside or on the downside.
So every trader or whale have something to benefit out of it.

I don't think they are recognized as investors by anyone. But for regulatory purposes they are required to pass KYC sometimes in order to receive the tokens by the ICOs that want to be more strict with the rules.

More of them will go unpunished! Only the biggest retarded fools that do grab and go will be punished!
If ICO scammers put even a little bit of thought how to heat the system, they will always go away with it, I think!

Good job, Sir! I am thinking of doing a master's on crypto topic, too! I hope the people in my university are progressive and grant such a theme!
I would be curious if you can share the results at the end with us here in the forum!

I am very surprised to see the market down right now! Bitcoin is not that bad, but the alts are doing terrible!
I am really surprised by the lows of Ethereum to BTC!

KYC is a very controversial topic! Ideologically, it shouldn't be required because crypto is based on the libertarian foundations!
However, in order to function in the current world frame, it is required!
Kinda greyish!

I actually think Cardano has a good chance to take a decent market share. They are working very close with governments and universities, the team is very solid and the tech is promising. ETH is here to stay, but EOS and NEO may lose some share.

As much as I don't like it, it seems the way it is.
It was the door for buying all the altcoins, not it is the safe heaven when the market starts going down.
Last year, I thought that Bitcoin will step down, but it seems like in a market dominated by traders and speculators, it just can't happen.

I really really like this quote. And he is right. Imagine you were at the inner circle and meeting of Round A of the Uber fundraising and you knew all the vision and the inside information and developments. Would you diversify with 10 other holdings or go all in?
Diversification is for people that don't have time or access to get information, but still want to have their money on the market.

I think we are seeing a huge flush out of all the weak hands and even some more serious investors that will probably never return to crypto investing again. But it doesn't mean a complete market crash. We don't have any fundamental reason to believe it. As long as the tech is developing and adoption increases, we will be seeing a surge eventually. I think that the altcoin market is going to crash, though.

Well, this is really interesting, but depends how you look at it. What you propose is what a trader actually does.
But not an investor. A trader would have quit in 2014 prior to the crash and went back in after that. Then doing the same at the ATH in January 2018. I guess this is the most profitable, but most people doesn't have the knowledge to spot market tops and bottoms. So, they stick to hodling.

I don't believe NEO, EOS and the most hyped ones having a better proposition.
Holochain is really innovative and I think it is ahead in the game with sharding. I guess they will deliver it and scale faster than ethereum.

I think we shouldn't hurry to buy the cheap alts now. We have all the time in the world to wait and see what happens. Alts will go up together with sentiment, and I don't think the sentiment will change before the ETF decision date comes in the end of September.
