I agree that 2018 will see a lot of altcoin action, many of the old coins such as DIME, POP, PIGGY are all making a comeback and if you can find any coin which is close to 1 sat that is still active with development now would definitely be the time to buy as I predict we will see many of the sub 10 sat coins pushing at least 10 x in the near future as people coming into crypto will be looking for cheap coins to make maximum profit.

There have been so many ICOs the end of last year and this year so far, I think it will be interesting to see what % of these actually launch and survive an initial pump and dump.

But yes 2018 will be a great year.

I agree it can be quite unhealthy mentally to be checking constantly, I am guilty of this and am thinking about weening myself off the constant blockfolio swiping up and down, setting alarms could the best idea.

I agree with you in that 2017 saw a lot of attention on the technology behind bitcoin and how it can be useful.  I think this year this interest will grow and we will see many of our existing comoany using blockchain whether they announce it or not.

Great post and the timing is perfect for this information to be spread, I have seen a few and a few ICOs asking for information to conduct a KYC, people need to be extremely careful when handing this information over especially to bounty campaigns and ICOs for the reasons that are outlined.

The exchanges such as Coinbase etc are a bit more credible when providing your information, just be careful.

This exchange really is a joke, their fees are crazy for coins and who in the world is that desperate to sell their tokens that they would pay a 40 deposit fee, deposits should be free it's amazing how they are still going.

Waiting also.

ETH will go higher at some point but will it dip again a large amount? I think now is a good enough time to purchase some as soon we will see the altcoins come back to life.

If it is a wallet.dat file it could be for any of the other altcoins that were about in 2014, there were far less than there is now so have a think of what coins you had at that time.

I suppose it would depend on how much you are buying, the likes of Coinbase will limit the amount you can buy and the amount will increase over time.

Any way you purchase their will be a fee involved, perhaps localbitcoin would be the easiest way to purchase a decent amount.

Yeah I suppose XRB or one of the other coins that has fast and very cheap tx fees because bitcoin is not suited currently to these types of quick small purchases, i am pretty sure there was a coffeecoin about at some point, not quite sure what happened to it.

Maybe Satoshi is an advanced AI and will reveal itself when we get to the point where we have eliminated cash and governments and live in a society dictated to by an AI overlord

Dimecoin $100 I really do not think this is going to happen in it's current state, even $1 is unimaginable unless it changes drastically and cuts the supply, I know they have a new team revamping the coin and they do have some plans so maybe 2018 we will see this coin doing something.

Looks like it is on its way up as we speak, you have done well by holding through the dip.  As the price gets higher for many the dips will become too much to hold through for some people as a 20% drop from $50k will scare a lot of people.

I must have been hiding under a rock the last few days as I am not aware of this new ETH fork that was mentioned, will need to have a look, also POS I am not sure if this will be a good thing for ETH but it will bring more attention and more holders, maybe now is also a good time to pick up some ETC.

I think many are now asking for basic verification at least, Binance, Kucoin, Coinexchange and Livecoin all will allow you to setup a basic account with no verification, I have had minimal usage on these but from all accounts they are pretty good although Coinexchange was pretty slow when I was using it.

Should be quite straight forward if you don't want to sell your bitcoin simply thank them for their advice but you have been in the game a while if that is the case and you have seen this happen many times before so will be keeping hold of your coins for now and suggest to them that they should buy in now.

I am familiar with most of these coins and they are not a bad investment, #7 and #8 I am not familiar with and will check them out, I think a couple of coins worth your research are BIS and BLOCK, might be a nice addition to your list.

Not for the fainthearted is the crypto world, you need to hang in there through all the dips unless you are brave enough to sell and then buy back when it gets lower, otherwise just holding is probably the best bet.

Haha, if you were really to do this it would be sooo risky, there were people that did this when we were lower than this and then I hope they sold when we reached an ATH, it can work out but is really risky especially if you have family thrown into the mix.

Bitconnect is a ponzi, I don't think it has a major part in the way bitcoin is looking right now but will play a part, every coin is getting hit recently.
