8000 was already a 60% setback for BTC. ETH kept up well yesterday before it crashed too. I think there is too much many on the fence for BTC going further down. The new players in the market are not shy to go back to fiat from ETH/BTC so the volatility will be a lot higher in both directions this year than in 2017.

Really sounds hard to believe. Hoqu looked like a large scale project even though not my cup of tea. Make sure you get your Ethereum back if they do not want to do business with you. Email them a couple of times per day until it gets sorted or go back to telegram with a different user and speak with one of the admins.

not sure it would still be possible with that list. Maybe check on the ones recently added to CMC trading not too far above ICO price. Ok exception to that rule is Zilliqa for me they are x20 already. Look at things like Matrix or Odyssey too. Also number of use cases have a hard to predict upside. Walton or Powerledger, Wabi EVC and so on. Of the more established tokens I think Neo has some catching up to do and they pay a dividend in gas.

well Bitconnect it was obvious it would happen at some stage. If there is a problem with Tether it would deal a blow to the market but at this stage the FUD related to that is nearing its end already.
First indication market will move again is BTC EHT and NEO in the green.

Universa bigger than Ethereum or Neo? Kind of a stretch right now. Ethereum and Neo are big in business right now. But never say never. Ethereum still got that scalability issue and Neo well the Chinese mighty tend to change direction sometimes. But the FUD for Neo is over so Universa has to go a long way before even playing in the same league. Not sure how you name waves in one go with Eth and Neo.

Why is that not shut down or flagged as scam by bitcointalk mods? Will check if I can notify somewhere.

Ripple is not promising. Keep reading up on it. Besides Ethereum I like Neo, Wanchain and tokens from the newer exchanges.

It was the most professional scam email I have seen so far. They at least got pledged contribution amount, the registered mew and of course your email. They say bitcoinsuisse did not get compromised but for me any further participation in experty ico is out of question. I do not trust them any more. They should have asked Hacken or other cybersecurity to check everything.

1. Is it a project you are really interested in?
2. On which blockchain is it based. What is needed to be able to receive bounty?
3. How is the general interest in the project?
4. Is it clear how much and how bounty will be distributed?
5. How many people participating? With how many you will have to share the bounty?

I think it is safer to buy bitcoin than Ethereum at this stage. Crypto would survive without Bitcoin but well missing Ethereum would be a bigger setback. I do not see the blockchain space without Ethereum any time soon. It might turn out to be one of the pillars of the future part of the economy that is decentralized.

Ethereum and Neo will both be looking good this year. No crypto without Ethereum but it seems Neo will be catching up as number of Neo based ICO rapidly increasing, Trinity a project comparable to Raiden for Ethereum. Neonexchange will be the first next generation exchange with strenght on the Neo space. Also so far all Neo based ICO really doing well.

One of the hardware wallets ledgerwallet or trezor. For a glorified memory stick ledgerwallet is not super cheap but it gets the job done. Expect to wait for a couple of weeks as the demand is high and price up to like 90 Euro now. I like it because they added Neo and are planning to add Rai Blocks which might also turn out to be interesting.

Tron was supposed to be part of my endgame as the roadmap well is stretching across a number of years. I did not expect it to rise so quickly. The founder Justin Sun is kind of charismatic, young but well connected. He is a protege of the Alibaba billionaire. If you dont need the money urgently I would propose to move it to your long holds.

That is the article that moved it to my watch list at that time:

I am not into airdrops any more. One bounty got me a nice masternode and the other recent one went very well too. You can get lucky with airdrops though. The signup for ebtc was super easy and now they are going somewhere. If you do airdrops just dont spread your info around too freely.

1. Neo as 2018 might turn out to be the Chinese year of crypto
2. wanchain as they are already getting compared to ripple
3. I would take one of the next generation exchanges like cobinhood or well coinmetro
4. Hacken as I could imagine them beating qsp for smart contract audits (I like qsp but hacken team more experience I think) and cybersecurity will be big
5. one use case like eventchain, wabi or powerledger as their possible market cap potential is really hard to guess

All say blockachain and protocol but do not forget about the use cases. Their time might come quicker than many think.

I did not check on their recent dividend payout but they should look good. I remember them going big on Icon ICO for their investors and we all know how that turned out. If you are looking for a crypto investment with a reduced risk as they are spread on a number of projects I think they make a good choice. Waited couple of times for entry price but never really happened for me.

You might want to check on Hacken and LordCoin. Both have a low circulating supply and market cap, not hit any bigger exchanges and on top both have a token burning model. Hacken burns 15% of tokens on every processed customer order and lordcoin the same for player to player trade ingame. I saw both dirt cheap on ED. Hacken is not too far away from a major listing. They did security audits for Huobi and Binance already and attended another event with Binance recently.

P.S. Hacken circulating supply 3,541,268 HKN and Lordcoin not even listed on CMC.

After the CEO leaving ltc has not come into swing again so far. As long as bitmain keeps selling high end miners specifically for ltc I would not be too worried about it. As long as they are selling the miners they are also mining it themselves.

I do not feel South Korea was ever out of the game. They love crypto and overall they are in a good position with regards to blockchain technology. Well and they got Icon. It is all about money. As the country is red hot for crypto well government wants its share in taxes.

I really recommend getting a hardware wallet like nano ledger or tresor. I prefer the nano ledger.
