Hey guys, I'm new to the whole ICO world, and BTCtalk as well. I've been reading about a lot of scammy ICOs that take people's money and run away. I'm looking to invest in a couple of ICOs but have no way of knowing if they are good or not. Can anyone tell me how I can go about doing this without losing any money?
To minimise loss by reducing risk, you will do research even just a little bit. First you have to read the whitepaper if the use case is achievable and not too lofty and second most important thing to do is to do background checks on the team if they are real. The best teams are the ones who are known in crypto. |

All crypto veterans know that BitcoinWisdom has not been updated for ages. Maybe the owner is dead. For one thing, thousands of dollars in potential income is lost by just leaving it as it is. I think the one maintaining it is just paying the bills to keep it up.

Derogatory term use to define coins that have no use case whatsoever except speculative or for pump and dump purposes. These were common during the premine coins since people still trusted anonymous developers back then.

Moshe Hogeg is my biggest concern about Sirin Labs.
LMAO! LOL! Frankly, I bought into the Sirin Labs' ICO with eyes wide open even though I read about all the failed projects Moshe Hogeg started all throughout his career. I was hoping that Finney turns out bigger than him because I believe a secure smartphone is needed for a mobile crypto wallet. And maybe some real company who has the business acumen to make this a success buys them out. Hell, what are the odds that one success comes out of a dozen failures of Hogeg? |

Not so fast. We must wait for overbought conditions in the daily chart to subside first. If Bitcoin goes to $10,000 fast, it will surely crash dump. I prefer a bit of sideways right now. Going all the way to $10,000 will only benefit the short sellers since the momentum might have lose stream by then.

I'm not shocked to see a strong rebound for Bitcoin and also a Bitcoin dominance of 60%. 2018 was a very long bear phase which has not even seen a strong rebound unlike the previous bear market of 2014 - 2015. It was bound to happen and I just call this a return to the mean.

After one year, this thread is still able to fool many forum readers. I think this just illustrate the bad browsing habits of many people online and is indeed a rich target for scammers. For just a little effort of reading the first pages, you'll get the gist of the thread.

Yep good news coming for ethereum. If I remember correctly vitalik said that he is aiming for plasma to raise the transactions per second up to 10 million. If this happens I can only see ethereum to stay in the second position in coinmarketcap for a long time. The sky is the limit. If this comes true, well... I won't be surprised if Ethereum beats Bitcoin in marketcap size. Scalability is one of the goals of a cryptocurrency. It has been viewed as just a pipe dream. And ETH would be doing all (Smart contracts and a world currency). |

I already have a long printed list of 2FA keys and the list is encrypted with a password. In case I need recovery, all I have to do is scan the QR-coded encrypted key and then decrypt with the password. And then import into whatever 2FA app available to me.

I never send an Ethereum transaction without consulting ETH Gas Station. It shows me when and what time the ETH network usually has less pending transactions. I just wish it shows alerts though. Check it out. https://ethgasstation.info/ |

as you saw, in the latest report we mentioned that some trading is happening on ForkDelta. Well, there you have it. Although the volume is tiny, it is a window for new investors to buy into the SMARC token (savvy investors who know how smart contracts work  ). It is the perfect time to accumulate slowly if you believe in the next two years, the markets will open up and SMARC price will fly through the roof. |

Seriously i can't believe that we have some newbies to junior members on here that are just here for bounties rewards ,most are I'm not against that but what surprised me is many these newbies don't bother to go through 'beginners and help ' thread ,why? How will you know what to do or not ? How will you even know more about how this forum works not to talk of how to avoid been scammed? Its really a bad idea and that's why many are getting there account blocked too. There are many things you guys can learn from the beginners thread ,just head there and check it out,that thread is helpful
Eh? That's just how the world works. Even if most of the information is freely available, most people will choose to be ignorant, it is because they are lazy and laziness will cost them in the end. If people are all diligent, this forum wouldn't need policing. It would be an utopian world. |

Stop listening to any news from CNBC regarding cryptos.  Why are "personal opinions" considered news when it comes to cryptos? This man supports the central institutions so he would be contrary to any idea that speaks of decentralization, not to mention the reasons. Correct. It actually never fails. The mainstream news is usually the last entity to spot a new uptrend in anything technology. Although, no major tv network said "Bitcoin is dead." I guess you can take that as a toned-down rhetoric by nocoiners. |

You should do both: trading while consistent earnings through dividends. Why? Most dividends won't compensate the losses you may incur when the coin price fluctuates against you. That's why many people hedge their portfolios for this eventuality.

I see a lot of people here worried with BNB getting the ETH market share. CZ was the first to say that Binance is not competing with Ethereum directly. Binance chain does not have smart contracts and Ethereum is not only a crowdfund network but a dapp network. Many things are going to be built on the ethereum network and the team is always improving their code. I would be more worried with blockchains like Tezos and Lamden.
We have heard lots of time about flippenings between Bitcoin and Ethereum at the first position, then between Ethereum and Ripple at the second position, by now, what's happened? Ethereum has never taken over the position of bitcoin, and Ripple, despite of the fact that some time (in days) XRP took over the second position of Ethereum on CMC, but it did not last too long. And, it is just total marketcap of Ripple and Ethereum. In contrast, for total value of Ethereum ecosystem, and Ripple ecosystem, Ripple has never taken over the place of Ethereum. So, it's time to stop mention that Ripple or BNB, or anything else can surpass Ethereum in next few years. We can't guess the future. I don't know if anything else is going to surpass ethereum marketcap but I believe that ethereum is going to be always in the top 10 if they continue to improve the network. The technology in this space is always evolving and ethereum needs to keep up the pace to not be left behind. I trust that the team can find the solutions needed to improve the network but it's going to be a big challenge. Always in the top 5 is what I believe. Invest in people and not the technology is the advice of wise tech angel investors. And the growing population of Ethereum developers is the strongest indicator that you made a sound investment in spite of the roller coaster market price. |

I don't know why we keep pandering to Craig Wright's delusions. It is as simple as "not your keys, not your coins." And it has been years and still he cannot prove he is Satoshi. I might as well claim I'm Satoshi since I don't have to provide concrete proof.

Hey guys, my friends and I were down 90% of our crypto portfolio. We bought at the highs and we bought shitcoins. Now we are still down significantly and i just want to ask if you guys have strategy to recover from this? Cheers!
If I were you, the first thing I would do is study how to trade like a professional. If you succeed in this, get rid of your smallest bags which looks dead (no dev, abandoned, etc). Sell them for BTC. Use this BTC to trade. The most promising ones you keep for the next three years, you never know. You can also try to increase the size of these bags by trading them. |

What is happening this thread is so quite from long time to news or update is coming from the team. This project is moving towards slow death trade is already dead and no new exchange added even no interest from new investors so what is the plan to get survive?
Sadly that's what happening with soo many projects nowadays. Once the ICO is over and they got their money, they become silent. However, I still have some small hope left for MarkSpace. Same with almost every other project, it's sad but thats the reality in those days. Look at the bright side though. It seems the bottom is in for Mark Space. 0.35 cents last December 15, 0.42 cents on February 7, on March 3, it was 0.46 and lastly on March 26, the price is 0.5 cents. is this SCAM? Yes, this is SCAM. How do you do? Probably best if you just dump your MRK tokens and be done with it. Don't aggravate yourself and just get rid of everything. The headache is not worth it. Anyway, almost all tokens are in the shitter and dev teams lost their tongues. |

It doesn't backed or tied with anything. Try not to keep your assets with Tether, there will be always questions such centralized coin. Tether is great when you need to ride out a storm or simply make some breathing space. I am not a big fan of Tether, yet I feel good with it in bearish time.
I feel dirty exchanging my bitcoins to Tether when I do hedging or preserve my portfolio's worth. It's great for shorting but that's it. I don't trust holding it for long. I might run into bad news and be left holding a bag of worthless USD wannabe. |

Easier said than done to switch from bounty to trading. Any man can trade but 90% of traders loses. Those who win all the time are seasoned, studied experts who knows every trading philosophies out there. While a newbie knows nothing except to buy or sell at the wrong time.
