There are two options of payments. Payments with mastercard - in the near future some crypto companies will start to operate with card issuers like mastercard. ePayments already have announced that will relaunch their cards by mastercard card issuer. Right now we can just convert crypto to usd and to send it from epayments to a regular card. Second option is terminals in the shops that will accept crypto directly. Cryptomats are already in place, in is a half step forward. PundiX already in the process of issue terminals in asia. So, adoption is the progress...

I don't like this lagging interface dex. Since IDEX came to the market I will never come back to the etherdelta. I will explain how idex works. They implemented an off Jain solution that doing math outside of the Ethereum blockchain and writes.the.result to Eth network. So, any deposits and withdrawals is writing to the blockchain, trading works on offchain solution.

Current market is manipulated by big exchanges and whales. They have their ideas on how get profits from simple traders and investors. You can track but bitcointalk and USDT movements to/from exchanges addresses. After those movements the another pump or dump will follow. Yesterday there was a bid of 20k of BTC on Bitmex I believe. Some whale.was.testing the trend.

You says  "freelancers are paid in fiat or any cryptocurrency of their choice", then why we need project's utility token if we can withdraw directly in BTC or Eth? Another question, why don't you post a link to project's website. It is easy to Google it, but it is much easier if you post the link. What is the hardcap of the project on ICO stage?

First of all don't believe crypto angels like Suppoman. He is a shiller mostly. You have to learn technics to analyze and to take your own decision. Then you can try to invest in some strong project, same time you can study what is the ICO and on the good market to invest in some nice ico. Learn trading, but try to find a good source for learning trading. Subscribe to crypto newsletters and telegram channels, it will help you to be up to date with crypto galaxy.

There is a triangle of perfection I guess that includes - scalability, security, speed. There are no any of cryptocurrency that can offer all the options at the same time. If any project will achieve all these options in one place and time, it will be a revolution in blockchain industry.

I don't see right now a good ico that can beat past ico's that are developing their projects right now to deliver releases of the networks or application or protocols. I see big future of the blockchain like zilliqa, seele and quarkchain. They showing good token price result as well. I have bought.se coins of these project and will hold them till this year for sure.

I have an idea about rating systems too. Majority of them are paid for at good review. I know only couple of them that looks honest, but I am not sure - this is crypto. IcoDrops and icoanalytics right now looks legit. But the situation can be changed quickly. Maybe it will be nice to have ico rating system on blockchain. Any thoughts?

I personally like bounty projects from Krypital and amazix groups. But sometimes projects can handle their bounties campaigns by themselves. The best ones right now I consider Swipe, Eloncity. The easiest way is to follow mentioned community groups. Forgot to mention the icodrops bounty section.

There are some alerts already to get out from the BTC, it is almost overbought now. There was an transaction on bitfinex with 10k of BTC to USDT that means that big players already getting out from it. Nice job, from 6k to 8k. Applause to whales, job done. Let's see what will happens next 1-2 weeks. Betting on dump.

I will describe what I've seen on the crypto space, I mean what people do to get coins. The first case is crypto faucets. You can get paid in crypto by watching the commercial. You can earn couple of hundreds of satoshi. Another case is the airdrop. Sometimes it is more effective. By my experience, from the 100 of signups can be one or two with good return(>100$). Another case is to register for ICO and sell the accounts on the blackmarket. Sometimes you can earn about 1-2eth for one account.

I know some Ethereum forks that are fresh and doing well so far. One of the latest is GoChain. They are went through ico stage and now they are working like a ico platform. They have announced the first ico already. Another project is ICON, like I remember they also have forket eth last year. Eventually, it depends on the what the project try to achive. Right now current forks looks ok by me, especially when Ethereum development goes slow.

You are right guys. Current sittuation on the alts market is showing that no more new money are coming on the market. Many people just selling their alts for the BTC because of the pump. That's very sad, but since winter a lot people lost their money and have a fear to invest new money it crypto. That's why money just walking from alts to btc. We need a flat of btc to get some alts rising.

I have a such experience with my litecoin wallet. Long story short I've mined some litecoins in 2012 and left it in couple of months. In 2017 I found my old walet file and have found 2 LTC inside. That was very pleasant moment for me. I've invested it in some other alts. Right now I am pretty happy for my portfolio since a year.

For a long term investment the order does not metters at all. From the short term investor/trader points of view better will be to get tokens. Because trader can get token, send them to the exchange and at first trading minutes to sell them, especially if the exchange is - Binance. Usually coin pumps in the first 5-10 mins of the listing.   

Guys, I guess we still need to wait for some time. One fact is that G20 took place with weekend and nobody talked about crypto in the conference. What they said is that crypto will be deeper discussed in October. So, this means no good news so far. I think BTC is simply pumping before good new and that's all. We still have about 2 weeks before 10 August, but I think SEC will say - sorry guys...

It might, but bear in mind that there are more and more projects with the same profile that will go mainnet soon like list strat waves, besides already working NEO platform, I think shifting to POS will indeed help eth to raise.

Unfortunately I didn't manage to take part in ICO, thanks team for letting us to do bounty. Btw guys there is an error when I try to join signature campaign and copy code for Hero member, could you please assist? Error is as follows -INVALID BBCODE: close of unopened tag in table (1). Thanks.

I have recently made analysis and found for myself elastos and electrify.asia, I think both these projects will have a bright future, especially first one, it is huge and the field it is gonna cover is just not touched, I think it will raise is 2019. We will see.
