I wouldn't measure it in USD, but rather in Bitcoin price. The market now is moved solely by the Bitcoin ETF decision and everything is following it, even the large capped coins like Ethereum.

Strange. Ubex has a really solid marketing wherever I look in the crypto ecosystem. I agree that they are overaggresive with it, so probably they are crossing some lines here and there.

Politicians are politicians. Their job is to be conformists and say what the crowd wants to hear. They are representatives of the mainstream people. And we are early adopters. There is no way we and politicians expressing the same views, even though we might share them.

This is a tricky question. Unless you were an IT tech geek that is really really really into blockchain and cryptography specifically, there was no chance you know what Bitcoin is prior to 2010-2011. So, you can't expect people went it in 2009.

I am trying to add my two cents of value to the crypto world by creating marketing materials, educational articles and promoting it online and offline to people that are unfamiliar with the benefits and advantages of the space. It is really hard to educate the mainstream why privacy and decentralization matters in a data driven world.

It will when you convince your grandma that crypto money is not the fake money. I believe for the next 50+ years, we will have both fiat and crypto existing and being used like 50/50.

I don't see any future for this coin. It provides nothing better than Bitcoin. And there will be only one global currency. Plus the niche applications like privacy coins. I don't see the niche for Litecoin.

I used to sell a chunk, but that was when I was a newbie. If market goes 5x now as it did in the winter, I would sell 100% without a blink of the eye. Knowledge comes with experience, I guess. Don't fall in love with your coins. You are here to make money.
Exception would be if you expect a specific coin to make a big surge between the market top and the correction.

I think Streamr DATA coin is much better than both IOTA and IoTeX. These guys have been working silently for years, they have a working platform that is proven to work and not just some vaporware. They are not very aggresive with marketing, though and going under the radar, I think.

I don't think they are leaving the market. Most of them are going in BTC as can be seen from the BTC dominance going up in the last few weeks.
Also, alts became too many, probably 3000+, so a lot of them will fail, so quiting makes some sense from the biggest crap alts.

What a lot of people don't understand is that banks are working to provide the same service and functionalities as crypto. Fast, feeless 24/7 transfers. Not because they want to, but because blockchain made them do it. So, it will be pretty much the same.
Only the decentralization will be the difference, which is not a small difference.

80% of ICOs end up being unsuccessful sounds much more legit to me. 80% of businesses fail sounds legit. I don't think the scams are more than 9-10% of the ICOs.

I am a bounty hunter and I dump 90% of my tokens at the first chance I get. And I don't think it is only bounty hunters. If you see the price dynamics in 98% of ICOs anybody holding tokens and not dumping on exchange at listing would be pretty much insane.

Yes, all ICOs delay listing on exchanges when the market is bearish. They will come up with numerous excuses most of the time and some of them will say outright that this is the reason they are delaying.
In times of bear markets there is usually outflux of money from altcoins to Bitcoin and nobody wants to list and see his coin go down.

I think the news was when coinbase annouced they will be adding ETC. The technical event of actually starting the trade is no news, so I don't believe it will move the price.
On the other hand, there may be some sellers waiting for the event to happen in order to sell their ETC.

I needed a lot of time to figure out the functionalities of both. There is not much difference. Forkdelta is a fork, nonetheless. You can't expect something outstandingly different.
IDEX is more traditional. If you are a novice, you will do less mistakes there.

The only altcoins that will survive are the ones with consensys mechanism built into them. This means mining, staking, delegated staking, etc. And it is quite debatable if their value is going to increase, because all the miners will be dumping the coins on the exchanges and the users just won't hodl, buy buy and use instantly.

Diversification makes sense for very early stage start-ups. And for lazy investors, who don't do their due dilligence.
If you have a lot of information (I mean more information than the market), you should be crazy to diversify and not go all in on the one project you are so ahead of evebody else.

I don't see any future for utility tokens.
Nowadays, they are needed, because there is a lot of friction to buy them. You have to go through exchanges, then BTC/ETH and then buy the tokens to use on the platforms/apps. The problem is, the same platforms/apps are not ready to use yet. So nobody needs the tokens. And when they get ready, the technological infrastructure will be so developed that you would be able to insta buy and use the token in a millisecond, so you won't need to hold and store it. You just keep BTC.

Iniatially I wasn't doing anything. Just starring at the screen with gratitude and basking instant gratification about my good decision to invest in the coin.
Then I realized I am getting over-romantic. What I mean is that I was putting my ego in my decision and marrying the coin.
And in the end, we are here to make money.
When your coin is added on Binance, for example and spikes 90% in one day, the only logical thing to happen the next day is a heavy 70-80% correction back down.
You have to sell it at the top. If you like  the coin, you can still buy it again after the price settles.
