Ripplenet / XRapid is very successful - is XRP actually used by banks, etc???  It remains to be seen.  For me - Ripple goes against everything cryptocurrency is about.  CEO / board meetings / banks / regulation.  Some will agree - but most are buying regardless.

Same ECOTOKEN listed on coinexchange.io that turned out to be a scam or the different already listed on cryptopia?

US Residents cannot participate in the ICO?

I ended up selling my position on this one weeks ago.  Folks received anywhere from 300-10,000 coins from the airdrop.  It will dump for awhile.  The team is behind curtains and AFAIK plans to stay that way - I think that / along with the premine / ways admins treat folks in the telegram and no social presence isn't doing this coin any favors presently.  I'll re-invest if things become a little more solid - and weigh any potential gains against a seriously loss as of this date.

edit:  note most of the volume on bitflip comes from bot trading set up by the site itself.  I've asked them to turn it off repeatedly and they said they "would think about it".  No buy orders - no sell orders.  All bot.

I'm going to stay with MEW as it's proved to be safe and reliable.

I see the minimum contribution is 1 BTC or 10 BCH.  Is is not possible to invest a smaller amount via ETH?

Curious if there will be a coin like bnb/kucoin shares/etc...

I think once we are listed on a solid exchange the price will soar.  many people are just dumping their coins from the airdrop for minimal profits - ive seen in the telegram most people dont know how to trade or dont understand - and i want to help them.  this is not a short term hold.  i look forward to seeing this project through and will continue to use dollar cost average weekly to support it.  if you download the blockchain file from their website and look at the files and programming that has gone into it - there is no way this is not going to be succesful.  it's not another erc20 token or copy pasta - it's a solid coin.

I see a lot of potential in this project and have already invested - what do you guys think?  I can't understand why everyone isn't jumping on this.   It's currently trading around .26 on a few really awful exchanges - but more will be added...and then??

This is all very good advice - again, it's all speculation and to look back on.  There are certainly gems no one is talking about.  I don't believe that 2017 was the biggest year crypto will have by far!

only hypothetical.  tbh i want to look back on this in two years and see all the recommendations - and who was right!

Dreaming is good.  I've invested into BTC/NEO/ETH/LTC - newest is bitcoinwhite. 
I would like to see how everyone feels about some of the alt coins now.

If any of you ONLY had $100 - what would you put it on today for the maximum return? Preferably not an ICO.

i will check on this in a year.

I think everyone should pick up a bag while it's cheap.  Think one year from now.

I agree.  They will ban it for their citizens and buy it themselves at a lower price.

I stock up as best I can - even if it goes down further - it will come back up higher.

There is a new bounty of 250,000 tokens for assisting in rewriting the solidarity code to fix current issues.

I think for headlines - but mainly so investors behind the scenes can manipulate the market to drive the price down while they stock up.  Banks banning purchases of cryptos to "protect" their customers - everything is self serving.  I hate that banks and governments are even involved tbh - I don't think that was the way this is supposed to be.

Thank you for interest in this - a lot of time so far - and a lot more time is being poured into the project.  Nothing will happen overnight but I plan continued development, application and marketing for years.
