This is totally wrong conclusion in my opinion.
You have invested in just three ICOs and you are saying that ALL of them are fraud or scam just because your investment become cheaper.
Thats not bitcoin's fall(only). Yes, many projects falls, money are leaving the market, depression and etc. But some projects feel not so bad.
Especially ICOs that are upcoming. They will come to rising market, they will rise. Also if the project is really good technologically, it will rise more than average.
So this is just the matter of tome. Don't worry

Same as you. There were too many talks about how cryptocurrency market will run in the upcoming spring. And that means everybody acted like sure it will be, market will rise, huge gains and etc.
And many of these people were buying and buying  hoping it will be higher whatever. But when the mass acting in one way, someone always acting in other in the opposite.
So I thing it will be dipper and dipper, for the whole year. And rise will be only in august, but not long, and then dump continue.
And I really hope that I make a mistake, I am wrong, and my prediction is incorrect

Telegram cant be banned. Topics also imo, crypto or something else. Only if we are talking about web version and only in that case if your country will decide to ban its website.
But ban an application - it will be much more harder, they will need to make request to appstore or google play market to delist it.
And also remember that for android users - google play is not the only way to download applications, they can download it direct from the internet.
And also desktop - same way, downloading from web site. So it will be very hard to ban telegram and make alll its users find another messenger

I should say that it can fall much more above $300
Someone can say that I am crazy and lost my mind, because how can cryptocurrency that was $1200 fall to $100 there are smartcontracts, there are miners, there are ICOS, there are... and etc
But for example - look at litecoin. Charlie twitted that his own coin is too overpriced and he dont want to be here in this market anymore. Because he undestands the real value of coin
And I think etherium is the same. It can reach its value of the past year. Look in coinmarketcap, how much it cost just a year ago

You know, this is not a big amount to invest, so there is no need to speak about diversification. Cuz there is almost nothing to diversify. But this amount can make you a millionaire still.
All we understands that $500 invested in ethereum or bitcoin in the very beginning of their path could make you rich today. So my own advice is to try to find such coin that can became the biggest thing in crypto in near 5 years.
If you are trying your best as you said in your post, you will need to find it between all the rubbish which bitcointalk is full of - scam ICOs, fraud teams, fake decentralization and everything like that.
Also you can try to trade. So you can make your depo bigger. But it requires experience, requires time. You can make it with $500, but you should really try your best

There will be a really big amount of projects that will have a big gains in 2018 because most of them were on ICO in 2017 and there will be time to show the results.
As for me the biggest bulls will be Rebellious - they launch their own blockchain, great project with great team; then SONM - mainnet will be launched in summer, revolution in fog computing, many collaborations with such trademarks as intel, AION, hp and others; and Current, which is in my signature. I think these guys will make a great platform that will be used worldwide, another big thing, and I think it will be the ICO of 2018

I agree. Yes, I think that it is something like truth, crypto market can recover for one or two years after that huge bull run that we participated in in 2017.
In my opinion there are too many coins right now that are highly overrated, they don't cost their amount. And recovery - is organic dip of the market.
What will happen if tether turns out scam? What will happen with bitcoin if governments ban it from trading? In the first case we all understand - if tether turns out as a scam it means that current price is high
In second case we will see how a huge amount of real money will leave the crypto market. These actions will not kill bitcoin or kill crypto. All will exist as before, we will be able to send it to each other.
But the price will be so low as you cant even imagine. So it is optimistic that all will reach its highs in two years. Hope so

Honestly I think we will not have that amount of ICOs that was in 2017 and also these ICOs will be not as good as previous were.
Of course there always will be good teams with good ideas that may change the world, but I think almost all of them are already changing it
So others are not so fast, maybe not so genious, in one word - too slow. But it will be less scam though - cause of kinda regulation.
Many sources ban fake ICOs add, so it will be much harder for them to enter the market

Yep, I think it is the right way when bounty hunter decides to join ICO of thr project in which he participates as bounty member.
But as topic starter said - as investors join bounty to not to s[end money on ICO - I think this is incorrect.
People who participates in ICO almost always havent got enough time make post here or on twitter and etc, they just buy and waiting for profit.
Also I think that bounty participants know more about the project then investors do

What are you talking about
Why do you calculate profit whe bitcoin will be 10000, or 15000, or even 20000 no matter, because it will be, and I should say more - it may cost more expensive than you expect it can. You would like to sell revolutionary technology that can change all the world just for 500$ profit? Not my business, go ahead of course, but I should warn you and give a little advice kinda-
Bitcoin is not that thing that you can sell, you can only buy Bitcoin

Many news are being wrote in really near-lying jenre because they get one phrase from the context and try to build all the article depending on it.
And this post is just the example. As I know, there took place only fraud and scam ICOs banning, but there was no speech about banning crypto especially banning bitcoin. So this is kind of fud as for me

In my opinion Neo is better than Ethereum.
Despite the fact that neo is chinese eth of course. It has not so big amount of ICOs and it is not so highly spreaded, but I think that it is more like pros than cons of neo. Just imagine what will happen when neo will gain such level of appreciation as eth in the world

I dont understand those people
I have heared a lot of people that dont like tron but they really like ripple and they believe it will reach $20 very soon
Why tron is not serious? Guys are doing something every day, developing product, conversate to make partnerships and other.
Tell me, why tron is not serious and why you dont like it.
And I havent got trx except airdrop, looking forward to buy some, so it will be helpful if you share your point of view with me

It depends on everything.
There are some great projects in which devs are involved only in development and they dont pay attention on exchanges or price because they already have money on development from the ICO. There price is ruled by users(holders, buyers and etc.)
Also there are projects where devs dont develop anything, these tokens are stil alive because of marketing, and money for marketing devs gain from market, they rules the price of token, pump and dump.
But in almost all projects everything plays role in price forming - devs, users, holders, miners, even exchanges and more other

The point is what you mean by saying stabilize.
Because I see that it will take a long additional time to stabilize and reach normal value for the most of altcoins.
But someone think that stabilize is to reach its high and continue rising. But in other case we are right in process of stabilizing and I see dipper market to say clearly that it calmed down

You are right, but it is a good advice only for those who can trade and already have trading experience.
As for me, ICO is more easier way to gainz. In ICO you can analyze if the project is good, if whitepaper is correct, and the team - if they are good developers, you can participate, the only thing - you need to be in time. Many ICOs closes too fast.
So all depends on each others' characters. Somebody have patience and allow themselves to risk, someone like to have a small gain in short time.

Rebellious ia a great project as for me.
I have participated in their airdrop and filled the Legendary form, received 4000 tokens for that, and then I liked the project a lot so i decided to buy more on exchange. One thing that I dont like - they didnt gave me tokens for the first freestyle - I made video(as they sayed to make everything you want) but only photos were awarded only.
But I like rebl a lot, I think they will make great things after they launch own blockchain

Some time before I had not a small amount of IOTA and I thought this is one of altcoins that can be the next big thing.
Because every coin that I like - I use them in real, I like to see how the wallet is made, how fast transactions are provided and etc.
But now, when I read this topic, it seems to me that this is not such big as it seems. And not decentralized as it was before to me.
I do not draw any conclusions but I think its time to make a research and get the things clear.
So thanks for your info guys, that was really helpful

We are talking about company but some great projects dont need a corporation to become a big thing.
Whitepaper - of course, it is very important to have the document which will help to understand us what is technology about.
And the main thing - people. Those who make the project, who bring it to life. All that was created on this market was created by people, so this is the point - if I see a person that will do anything for project, I trust in this project as its' creator does.

This is not panic, it seems to be more like depression already.
Too many people on the market are surprised that bitcoin can go down as well as it goes up. So they have the same thoughts as topic starter.
But now imo is the worst moment to leave - market is dip. And recovery will come, it's just the matter of time - this month, next, or maybe in August. But it will.
