I believe the they cashout the regular way every crypto holder cashes out through exchanges and back account.
But given the forms for opening a corporate account on exchanges I have seen, I believe that the regulations and steps for ICOs cashing out are much stricter.

A lot of companies re-brand in one moment of their development or another.
Startups often re-brand because they haven't started with the most accurate brand in the beginning. So it is something completely normal.

It may not come up soon. I don't see news on the horizon that have the potential to move it. Even in the mid term, so we may have to way half an year or even more before something drastic happens and we hit 1 trillion total market cap.

In the good case scenarion, money are returned to the investors in ETH.
In the bad case you are left holding useless token, that noone will buy.
In some rare cases as Jincor are doing right now, they are continuing working on the project and looking for alternative financing.

Beware of spammers and sock puppet accounts. Example - Viberate threads. Also, unfortunatelly, a lot of people are let to promote their pump and dump groups, telegram signals groups and other shady activity.

There are instagram campaigns, but the budget for it is very small. However, the participants are not that much either, so you may make some money.
I don't like advertising on Instagram. Audience is not crypto focused.

Don't trade crypto. Flip ICOs if you are here just for the money. This is much more lucrative with much less risk. You have to go through the hassle of joining pools and communicating with a bunch of people, but it is much less effort than doing technical analysis.

I like what you are doing. I am not noticing referal links or participation in bounty campaigns, nor monero mining in the background  . How are you gonna monetize the website? I mean, there is no free lunch.

You set your goals. Great. Now what are you gonna do? Invest 5 billion $ in Bitcoin in order to meet your goals?  Or you believe that wishful thinking and positive outlook is gonna be enough? 

It definitely could be more profitable. Depending on your invetments. If your budget for investing is less than 10 000$, then you probably will earn much more for the same time if you research bounties rather than projects.

I will give a vote for Komodo. Mainly because this guys are working hard for a long time and they are lacking only some decent marketing. But the work is there. Very technical guys and project.

Alts mirror the movements in Bitcoin. Sometimes simultaneously, sometimes with a delay. There is no such thing as alts season. There is only Bitcoin season. And probably Ethereum season soon.

There are so many factors that have to be considered that an entire book can be written.
But a good starting point is to analyze whether the project needs its own coin or not.
If everything runs just as smoothly using Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency, then be sure that the coin/token will be worthless soon.

I am a fan of ICOs with a short roadmap and application that will be possible in the near 1-2 years.
AI is a hot topic and a future market worth billions. But it won't be seen anytime soon. Not the mainstream adoption, at least.
As an investor, I am not interested.

Yes, they definitely can. The best way is if the economics and math behind the token is designed in a way that it stimulates natural growth with time. Provided that adoption and demand of the token increase.

The team can also manipulate the price by bying or selling its own tokens on exchanges. For example, Canya recently announced they will buyback a portion of their tokens.

Legit projects should care about price movement and early investors and guarantee a min low of the price on the exchanges.

The largest whitelist numbers I have seen are around 30 000 whitelisted participants for the hottest ICOs.
So I will speculate that no more than 150 000 people invest in ICOs on a regular basis.

Dragoncoin seems the biggest scam ever. I mean a coin for Gambling High-Rollers? Why would an ordinary person need that coin? How will that coin be ever used for something else?
$320M raised in private and pre-sales? WTF?
Money laundering en masse.

Telegram in my opinion. All the crypto community is there. At least all the serious players who actually invest money.
And very few projects are advertising there right now, but they will switch I guess.
Steemit is also gaining traction.

I believe there can be only two strategies:
1) You invest in almost all of the reasonable sounding ones in hopes that one of them will be the next Facebook, google, amazon, etc.
2) You make a really deep research or have a lot of technical knowledge and you stick to 4-5 projects with the max potential.

The crypto hype is not over. It is just calm now. No new money coming in. No shillers, no pump and dumpers. No technological breakthroughs. When user experience becomes a step easier for the users we will see the next wave coming in.
