We all agree that there is general ignorance about bitcoin, blockchain, altcoins, ico, and so on, but sincerely I don't see how an ICO can help.
Much better to promote some courses, eventually with practical examples with cheap altcoins.

It's very interesting to see how aged can become some discussions in just some months :-)
Actually, the cryptomarket is so dynamic that nobody can predict anything: may be tomorrow anything will rise, may be will crash.
But it's crazy and funny!

Every trader has this king of feeling, but it doesn't make sense to blame yourself: you made good choices based on the information you had at that moment and to regret is useless.
The only way to stop to regret is to ask: what did I learn? What can I do now?

Of course, the standard strategy is to buy cheap and to sell when the price is high. This is obvious.
The real secret is to identify some patterns that predict an explosion of value. They exist, and I'm starting to see them. :-)

Probably, in case of war bitcoin will be most precious than gold, as fiat currencies will lose their value.
Of course, if there will be a global nuclear war, so no more internet, no more electricity... well, bitcoin won't be your priority... :-)

I think that for sure altcoins will explode in 2018, because there is a big interest in cryptocurrency, but probably there will be still a big rise of bitcoin, as a lot of people will enter in the cryptomarket, and will start with bitcoin.

Bitcoin is very god to invest for middle term (I believe it will rise again very much, at least until summer. Then, who knows?)
But I think it's a good idea to watch carefuly some altcoins, as some of them can have a real explosion.
So, yes, it still worth to invest.

Of course crypto is addicting, as most videogames are, because it's fun, it puts you on the hot coals and it gives you all sorts of pleasant emotions.
But - when done correctly - it's also very lucrative, so... welcome addiction!

All the matter is very confuse, but we know that terrocrats are right by definition, so we need to be prudent.
In Europe we are waiting some decisions from bruxelles, just to know what they will invent to steal our money.
Btw, at present is still relatively simple to protect crypto assets. In future...we'll see :-)

Altcoins can be very rewarding, if you choose the right one; but also betting on an "en plein" on the roulette is very rewarding...
Actually, it's better to focus on just some of them after a careful analysis.
To pulverize the investment in too many directions is probably a mistake.

I don't know what to say, because there are a lot of DeepOnion enthusiastic fans, but I see a lot of posts about the fact that DeepOnions is a scam without serious content (check the thread).
We'll see; I'd advice to be prudent.

I understand you, when you see the good results of your work, it's normal to be happy and overwhelmed.
So congratulations. Now, of course, we expect to congratulate you for achieving FIVE digits! :-)

Well, if you mix scam mentality with lack of professionalism, you can bet that at least 90% of ICO will die next year.
But this is natural selection: after a time, it won't be rewarding to try to scam or to act in an amatorial way.
But for the moment, the situation is pretty dark.

Any new technology needs time to adjust (may be you remember what kind of jungle or far west was internet at the beginning, when you cold make any kind of scam)
So, sure there are problem (and problems mean opportunities) but they will be solved step by step

Actually, Ethereum have some aspects difficult to understand at conceptual level (but I admit that the first time I tried to understand the blockchain I was lost in fog :-) )
Btw, you can work with ethereum even if you don't understand completely the matter (I'm pretty sure that 90% of people don't understand at all money, but they can use it daily!)

I think that "long term" is a nonsense word in crypto world. Anything is moving so fast that it's crazy to make prediction day by day.
I have a good experiencd in forex, and movement that you usually see in a year, in crypto happen in a week or less.
So, gain what you can today, and don't think "long term".

With so high volatility, it's difficult to make any prediction; BTC had a fantastic rise, but now it's facing an - inevitable - correction.
Btw, if you find the right currency, it's possible to do much more gain that with bitcoin.

Anything is moving fast, and any kind of prediction becomes obsolete from a day to another.
I don't know which altocoin will replace bitcoin, btw I think that the whole cryptomarket is very profitable but also very fragile.
So, even I'm a crypto fan, every time I've a gain, I use part of it to buy some gold. Real gold. Nothing can replace gold as STORE of value.

Not at all; at present they are the stars, due to sudden popularization of cryptocurrency, but with a so high transaction cost and so much time needed for confirmation they will replaced very soon. We'll see.

This is bad, but this kind of information are precious and I think that the sharing of useful hints should be the main aim of this forum.
So, thank you very much for your advice.
