I stopped anticipating etherium's bull run the moment it dropped below its yearly all time low on the etherium/bitcoin paid value, Bitcoin dominance continue to increase and it better holding btc that altcoins at this moment until bitcoin shows some value stability

I am seeing more of IEO's than ICO's, the era of ICO proliferation is gone, any project that intend to begin by raising fund through ICO should really have to prove its worth and be convincing enough to attract investors.

A lot of life lessons from crypto trading, personally I have learnt not to stay too long in a trade, plan entry and exit and stick to the plan, don't wait too long as the market can behave funny at the slightest opportunity

Unfortunately got to know about this coin today after someone mentioned it in my team, seeing that it has achieved over 4500% roi since launch and topping among the first 100, I already think it is late to buy it as it already high considering the current marketcap and supply, quite impressive

Personally I don't hold shitcoins for long, they are just for quick profits and are usually the target for pumps and dumps, just jump in when it is at a comfortable low and jump out when you are at a reasonable profit

I equally had similar reservation on why an already traded coin should be conducting bounty and the one that I am worried about most is that such projects after the bounty do not increase in price which is the main target, a good example is veil, it actually dumped during the bounty and has not recovered and begin to wonder what could be the essence of Bounty if it could dump

It is obvious that a lot of exchanges these days claim to have included IEO launchpad on their platform but quite a few will stand out, it is unfortunate the new project market is not as successful as it was was expected, particularly I have suspended buying into new projects but would rather buy on listing and that is after I have observed its price movement for a while

Holding is not always profitable, I remember holding btc from over $19000 hoping it will achieve $100,000 as was speculated then but later sold all at less than $9000 when it was obvious that it was already dripping further, right after I had to go learn how to analyze charts

I actually dislike rigorous vigorous KYC verification for crypto project participation, I do not understand the need actually, not as if the project will be much valuable than Bitcoin afterwards, have seen a lot of them that are worthless today, won't dare try anyone that asks for video verification, not worth it.

This goes to prove that bitcoin is the king, it has really proven its worth by showing its huge dominance, it is the first point of attraction for anyone coming into crypto, so a lot of those that just heard about bull run are only interested in bitcoin and are buying, alts may rally eventually but that will happen when bitcoin has maintained a reasonably stable value value over a period of time

It is not every project that can afford very huge advertising, right now that ICO's is not easy to come through as a means of raising fund for more adverts and promotion, bounties help a great deal, infact it contributes more than 50% to project development as it is the easiest and fastest way to attract investors and build a community

You would have been specific with what you termed manipulation, there could be price manipulations of certain coins but this has little or nothing to do with the exchange itself or the owners, how about pump and dump groups, I have seen a particular active one that obviously pumps coins on Binance

I think time will come when he will surface and show himself to the world, he must be somewhere observing and watching to see how the whole crypto thing turns out, the fact that bitcoin became and a success and the developer is anonymous is one of the greatest mistery of the cryptocurrency and it is quite amazing

Experience have shown that it less risky holding bitcoin than any other altcoin, at least there will be some level of certainty that the market will recover after sometime incase of a dump situation, but in the case of altcoins, there are a lot of them that are dead already and will never return

I is now clear that no coin or token will ever compete with bitcoin much more being its rival, so far bitcoin is taking up over 50% of the entire crypto market share and thereby dominating by a huge marketetcap, it took a whole lot of years with so much tribulations to get here, absolutely no coin will ever beat this, at least not anytime soon

It is very risky to have all coins in one wallet, the risk will be too high due to theft or loss. Personally I store in coinomi, luno, some external wallets and exchanges. With this one will have have his risk spread and a back up incase of any mishap with a particular one.

It will likely happen but it will not be huge, so much for bitcoin that altcoins refused to pump, seeing btc at $13500 and btc still around $350 which is a deviation from what it was in 2017. With a fairly stable price of bitcoin, we can see a boom in altcoin

A lot of altcoins are down because of btc dump, it is not just about buying but buying right, study to know in what direction the market is moving before buying. Instead of buying with the intention to make quick profit and market goes south the more, it would be wise to buy into a coin that already has a good uptrend signal

Yes, here is where one can get such coins that can do a very quick pump and huge profit over a short time, the risk there is equally enormous, one of such that I have traded is tnt, coin has done more than 100% within one month.
