What exactly do you want to do by saying how your tokens from bounties will become coins? Do you mean convert it? If that is the case, you mentioned it. Simply go to exchanges and then convert it to anything with value that you want(given it is listed in exchanges already). If you are referring to tokens becoming coins in a sense that they aren't called tokens anymore, then it should run on it's own blockchain without depending on another alt's blockchain. And in the case of erc20 tokens, they should first not run on eth's blockchain for it to be called a coin.

Are you referring to this coin? If you want, you can cut losses now by selling but that won't do you any good. You should continue holding it, IMO storm still have potential in it for growth(if you are referring to the coin in the link), Don't panic sell just yet. It is normal that a coin dumps once in a while, so get used to it if you are gonna continue trading.You can just sell it instantly though the moment you got decent profit out of it to relieve your fear.

I think it is too early to say that there is a possibility of a FOMO event to 30k US Dollars in August. Before I believe that such event can happen, I would like to see price reach 10,000 US Dollars at least, and break it's barrier because that will surely be the next resistance point. If ever btc price managed to break that wall, then I am quite sure that we will see many people spreading that expected FOMO to 30k US Dollars.

I think it is just one shitcoin hoping to beat others with the promise of being resistant to ASICs but in reality, there are no ASIC resistant coins because if they are, then they will be hard to mine. So long as there is computing power, everything can be mined. That's why I doubt their promise. Better stay away from it if you don't want to be a fodder to it's developers and to early birds who bought it when it was in ICO phase.

Do not care about them since Roger Ver's group are just a bunch of whales who wants more money, nothing more. They might hurt the overall market of bitcoin now(because of the bitcoin.com problem which is indicated on this thread but they can't do it for a long time, the misunderstanding will be cleared soon. I feel sorry for the newbies who will buy bch at bitcoin's current price though, they will only be used by Roger Ver's team to get BCH prices soar high.

You should start by registering to exchanges you want to trust. For a list of good exchanges to register too, you might want to refer to this guide. Before investing onto coins though, make your own due research.
I think your capital is enough to start trading. In fact, I have started with a 50$ capital(way back 2016 a year before I registered into this forum). You will be fine so long as you know well the coins you will invest into, and diversify your investments. Furthermore, study trading first before starting. You can refer to this threads for more knowledge about trading:

This is the best answer posted in this thread as of the moment:
In addition to the post quoted above, if everyone creates their own currency and if all of it got good features to showcase, then obviously the ones that will have their own value is only the cream of the crop. The one that will have the greatest value as a currency is the coin that have multiple real world use cases(and because of the same reason btc still dominates the market). For this same reason, someone will still be motivated to work in different fields.

He is merely saying what he wants to see. Furthermore, he's saying that ethereum is a better bet probably because he is heavily invested into it and he wants to see it's price rise. Therefore as a well known person, all he needs to do is to spread FOMO to bait newbies and those who believes in him to buy ETH. (This is purely based on my opinion, nothing more since financial experts do this often).

Look at the date of the OP, it is way back 2011 and by that time, It is hard to purchase bitcoins everywhere. For your information, coins.ph was founded on March 20, 2014 according to coindesk. It is probably harder to buy bitcoins by that time in the Philippines when compared to OP's hometown(assuming he doesn't live in the same country as yours) ain't it? Considering OP hasn't come back for a long time to check his thread, it is safe to assume that it is also easy to buy btc in his hometown right now.

Since you are referring to a wallet(generally), I will assume that you are referring to bitcoin core. For it to get synchronized to network, just wait for it to finish "Synchronizing with network". It is still downloading the blocks needed to get synchronized to the blockchain. You need to not uninstall the wallet. If you want a fast way out, refer to this guide for you to be able to import that into electrum wallet or on a web wallet that supports importing of private key like blockchain.info wallet.

They can create assets internally in their exchange and allow trading on them, but even if people did trade those coins(bitcoins or altcoins), they wouldn't be able to withdraw those coins since exchanges cannot create coins in their real wallet out of the thin air, making those who traded it unable to withdraw those coins(since it doesn't exist in the blockchain). For this reason centralized exchanges might want to avoid doing it.It is possible but those exchange that will attempt to do it will have the intent to scam people for real.

Eth meets the criteria in the bold but I doubt if it is future proof. Besides, it's supply is not low too(because it's circulating supply atm is 99,223,438 ETH  according to coinmarketcap. Nevertheless, I think eth is one of the alts that have real world use cases(because of smart contracts) and it can survive long term bear markets(because of the support that comes from erc20 tokens). Also I think waves, in the future might also fit the following criteria in the bold(because of them launching smart contracts and having waves dex platform).

The coins you are looking into is good, and I advice you too diversify your investment into at least 2-3 coins from the list so that your 1000 xlm would be worth selling for. That way, you can lessen the risk of loss if ever one coin of yours dump and doesn't recover for a long time. If you were to diversify it, I recommend waves and eos to you, since IMO these two are the ones with the most potential for growth.

As far as I know not all governing authorities of every country prevents the development of bitcoin. In fact, some countries like Japan and Venezuela legalized bitcoin and other cryptos. Likewise, Russia begins developing blockchain standards of their country, showing their support in crypto's development and is currently drafting blockchain legislation to speed up adoption which will definitely speed up the development of bitcoin too after they have finished drafting those laws.

Warren buffet is not a trader, and it is understandable that he doesn't know how Bitcoin works(since he did not research it). He is just buying shares on companies with a huge potential to give him a hefty sum of profit. It can also be that way or the other way around. He might have had invested into btc in its early days, and might be one of the biggest whales in crypto space now but is doing it covertly.

Probably not since IMO the movement we have seen today is only the natural volatility of bitcoin, nothing more. As of the moment, the price is 9686 USD and it seems to me that there is a resistance going on that will prevent price to go up to the speculated price. I think the thread title needs to be changed though, from "were pumping right now" to "bitcoin price testing the waters". I think it would be more apporpriate.

Thanks for the tips, this one is funny though. There are more victims of other shitcoins so why point out the victims of Bitconnect? Maybe you can add this tip: Never buy a coin that is obviously being pumped and dumped or never buy a coin that is overvalued and is hyped too much, because it will lead you to loss in the long run if you didn't dump it at the right time.

It is a useless coin, therefore the growth it is experiencing is unsustainable. What currently sustains the price is only it being a hard fork of btc, and of course some manipulators that tries to gain a hefty sum of profit from noobs who thinks that BCH is good and from those who still believes bitcoin cash will someday be on par or beat btc. If you want to hodl bitcoincash though, I suggest you don't buy it now.

Do not be annoyed, they just used that line to convey how Goldman Sach's action is good to the public eyes. It also shows that people doesn't invest into btc mainly because of them thinking that btc can be hacked easily. Let it pass for now, at least crypto got another good public exposure, I am sure his plan will be the one of the key points for bitcoin to be mainstream in the future.

Will miners continue to mine bitcoin after that? Will mining still be profitable? Will miners used in mining evolve to consume less electricity and make mining profitable with fees in the future? How will miners survive with tx fees? I doubt miners will still do the job if these questions are still questioned 50 years from now. I also think that instead of earning through tx fees alone, there would be methods invented to make mining profitable again before all bitcoins are mined in 2140.
