yes the problem isn't finding the new crypto it's finding good ones. You can go on sites like telegram, bitcointalk threads etc. google for review sites online. check out ico drops and bounty sites for new ico's. It's a bit of work that will then net you a hoard of new cryptos. Then there's a lot of work in evaluating them for their quality.

I don't think there is a point separating the two but I would lean towards product first. that being said VERY few ico's actually have a working product at ico ( usually around 3-6 months to beta) so you have little choice but to invest in the vision of the project. I would never just look at these two categories.. amongst other things investigate the team, the hype factor, the crypto space they are trying to break into and the competition. the hardcap, the bonus' etc etc.

Thanks for the list. I wish i'd stumbled on it earlier but the link to the website will be helpful in the future.

Thanks for this thread, I as just looking into signature campaigns and some of the posts here have helped me. There are so many bounty's out there with different conditions to be met. hopefully my first sig campaign will be a good one.

All through 2018 the news on ripple has been really good but the price has stayed down like all the crypto. Surely sometime soon all this good news will come home to roost and XRP will go gangbusters. The anticipation is killing me but I think it's coming. I feel i need to find some FIAT so i can load up before this happens.

I agree with many here. the market is in recovery mode and needs to build some confidence before the bull run will start. It has been a welcome change this week to see the green and have 10% gains which seem to be 'mostly' holding in there. We could see sideways trading for a while before any true bull run begins but it only takes some whales to start the thing and i get the feeling everyone is going to be ready to jump on the wave.

wow. good stuff. I'm still hanging in there awaiting some earnings. I'm coming back slowly but nowhere near at parity of what i have invested. I was one of the unlucky who got into crypto in December so have been hanging on waiting for the red sea to go away and buying/ ico's for the last 3 months as well hoping to reduce my loss. a ways to go but there is some hope on the horizon. My plan is to get enough for a healthy deposit on a flat because after 20 years saving the Sydney market just keeps growing faster than i can save and getting further out of reach.

There are a ton of flippers out there who buy at ico to flip for 2x or 3x at exchange launch. this has become much more common through 2018 with the red market as many ico's drop below ico price. Even if you are careful and buy a top project you can still get burnt (like i did on Fota - but i'm still holding because the project is good) so really i think it's market based. If the market is healthy then ico's will do well and give profit. If the market is bad for months like it has been ico's struggle at exchange.
I think things might be turning around though. many are delaying exchange launch for this reason and some recently launched are doing ok. ( i hope eventually we will see the 20-40x and higher returns 2017 ico's brought in.

I wonder about this kind of news. Ballina is famous for shilling and being somewhat unprofessional as an advisor. (paid promotions etc) so I take a lot of what he says with a big grain of salt. How could he not be using a hardware wallet , and what kind of seasoned investor stores their private keys on evernote!!!
I think there is something fishy going on here.

hold on. let bitcoin rise through the year. note to others don't ever sell land to buy bitcoin.

market has been down so long this is a return to confidence and hopefully the start of some steady growth

def. a hardware wallet linked to neon. i use ledger and it's easy and more importantly safe

flip man, all 3. don't go all in on one. these are 3 solid choices and a diversified portfolio is far less risky than just the 1. They also are net really in competition with eachother. eth is a platform, ripple a transaction and monero a privacy coin.
go all 3

cryptocurrency is too useful and practical to fail at this point. the technology and use , particularly for developing countries with little access to services but access to mobile phones. crypto is still in early days and much of the coins will fail but there are convincing arguments for much higher volumes of adoption ( not just as trading )

We might have government regulation...more nation coins from countries around the world. and hopefully a steady rise in prices.

I trust it. it may drop again but it's the start of confidence building. it's a big jump in a short time across the board so i think confidence is coming back

I really hope so. We could do with some good news. I think it might be the start of a steady rise but with drops in there of course. The confidence in the market might be slowly coming back.

I say this to everyone who talks about best wallets. Hardware wallet. I use a ledger nano s. there is no better way to store and move your crypto.

This can only be a good thing for us. a rise in the market, larger adoption in society.

and luck plays a big part too. you are lucky you have come into crypto now and not in december when so many people have been burnt. you are entering the market at a good point as it's low and there are a lot of coins which are over 50% down. good luck and yes be patient.
