Bitcoin is becoming more of a stable these days. It is moving up and down slowly. But everybody is expecting and waiting for it to move up again even at a slow pace. It looks like there won't be heavy movements on bitcoin until late this year.

I think it is also bitcoin. I started with most of my holdings are just into bitcoin then some swing trades on altcoins and then back to bitcoin. I also have some altcoins that are worth a keep like eth, ltc, dgb and many more.

When I started in crypto and still a bit inexperienced in the market I perspired. I don't like an ICO that automatically distribute their token once an investor participate. It mostly creates unfavorable movements are nothing can stop an exchange listing their token into their market. And possible early investors that received huge bonus will probably sell their tokens at a cheaper rate that might disrupt the ongoing ICO. Token distribution should only happen only after the whole ICO period.

Bitcoin is number 1 in general in the whole crypto because it is the most popular and first when it comes to value. Other features like security, store of value,  speculations, privacy and others are a bit complicated. There are many good coins like monero and komodo that provides better privacy. But most of those mentioned, bitcoin is still leading like security and freedom of control because as we can see bitcoin never made any partnerships with governments and companies although we are not pretty sure what happens in the future.

I am really really positive on crypto. Though we cannot deny the fact that there will be possible failures and downfalls but some of these of not many of them will surely have very good future. Banks are starting to create their own blockchains now and many of these current coins will have better technology and savvy.

The uncertainty of the current market is making ICOs kinda hard especially hard caps. $17 million is already very impressive and there is still ample of time to possibly hit the maximum cap. We will be banking on the team's potential to develop this platform as this is already considered successful. 

I felt sorry on your big loss. Most newbies that enters into every venture that knows nothing to little have high tendency of losing. Education is the key. Your decision to invest in only a single coin is not really that good too as you could have protected your capital by picking many coins or maybe minimum of three.

When bitcoin is dropping slightly altcoins move up but a major bitcoin dump means a drop also on altcoins. This is normal because bitcoin sometimes is generally referred to as crypto itself.

Why there are some people promoting their own projects here? Because this is one of the most followed threads in this forum?

Here is a good troll by Satoshi Lite few hours ago https://twitter.com/SatoshiLite/status/998418013979226112. At first I though he really is serious and then I realized he's got no Litecoins anymore. Just kidding though.

They have the same platform as bitconnect. Which means some things that are obvious then? They can prove what? So you are willing to promote this shit in order for you to gain money and you don't care if some people will get scammed? And yes, this team is really serious. Serious in scamming people.

There is no ending on altcoins because they are the future. One day those who left crypto because of losing faith especially on its volatility will have regrets. The crypto market will be over a trillion short term.

I also like Hitbtc interface but I don't like how they are doing their own digits and not following the actual 8 digit in every coins. It is crazy because some coins are already expensive yet it needs to be by hundreds in Hitbtc. And you cannot just simply withdraw the remaining amounts because the withdrawal fees are very expensive like $30 to $40 dollars. Disgraceful. But I am still hoping that they will change it.

Nowadays I am mostly just doing investing type as I felt a bit lazy. The current market is also not that enticing so I seldom do trades now. I missed the days when everything seems heading up. You felt like you are a very good trader.

Invest time to study and you will learn more. 

You need to get back to your senses guys. You really think Satoshi Nakamoto is a single person? I believe it is the whole team behind the creation of bitcoin and its blockchain. They won't come out because they made an agreement for sure. I think some of them or maybe all of them are already scattered in different projects and other crypto related ventures. I doubt there is a disclosure on this one. At least in a hundred years.

Most ICOs are also blooming when the market is doing good and it is harder on ICOs when the market is on a blood bath. This is just the same situation with 2017. I still believe on ICOs. It is just about doing research in order to find the good ones and identify the questionable ones.

It would be of no sense if someone creates a currency which is just the same with the existing ones. Maybe despite some similarities there should be something not similar that makes it unique and perhaps even better than the old one.

How do you get to know about cryptocurrency?
- I keep hearing this cryptocurrency thing years ago but I didn't really got hooked into it until people close to me explained it to me and I gained confidence to give it a try.
What enticed you to cryptocurrency?
- Cryptocurrency is young and have lots of potential. So people that invested early are the ones that can benefit well just like those early companies start ups.
Have you ever regret been here?
- No regret at all. Some family business I don't have much time to help but my money is working well here. Volatility is sometimes scary though.
What is your greatest Testimony so far?
- That I am one of those that earned big. Come on! Which current stock that can triple my money in few months? 
What is the bad day you will never forget?
- Sometime in December last year when bitcoin nearly touched $20,000 which I waited in bittrex so I can sell some. I ended up selling none as it never touched. Days later bitcoin is slowly making corrections.
Your best bounty campaign ever?
- I cannot really say as I just keep holding most of them. Not really that big and I don't mind it because I am having fun while reading the threads related to my coins. I think this current one Deal Coin would be the best thing yet to happen.

There's a nice article there in Forbes where Seal had been mentioned as another good potential projects. Crowdsale is ending in two weeks. How much have been collected here so far?

I do hope that this current decrease is just an ordinary correction and the uptrend will continue. The market hasn't really recovered fully from its previous $500 billion level market capitalization.

More and more people from my circle of crypto friends and many of them are big time millionaires are banking heavily on Ethereum. I am also an Ethereum believer but my holdings are only in double digits. I am considering more Eths but still waiting and observing for a good timing.
