I think decentralized exchanges are extremely useful, they are secure and I feel they make you trade crypto the way it should be. Keep coins in wallets, only move it to exchanges for trading.

Well..it's been a very valuable lesson..hopefully we get another December, and do what we learned and not give in to greed once more 

I don't think this has any effect..same as when people talked about chinese new year..then US tax season..bla bla bla..some people even mentioned muslims selling their crypto during Ramadan. Enough trying to find a reason for the market going down. It's going down because it's going down, that's the nature of markets.

I think you could increase your BTC by alts not necessarily via USDT/BTC pair. But, in my opinion, you should focus on few altcoins and study their price history, important resistance and support levels, so that you can get an idea when to enter and when to exit a position in alts. Normally, there comes waves of alt coins all in the green even in bear markets, but it's a short period. So, you should have a plan already ahead for that. I also learned that you should always enter and exit positions in a laddering systems not all at once.

I think the best advice is to have a strategy and some rules and never break them. Don't let emotions get to you while trading. Take profits when you feel most bullish and buy when you feel scared of course as long as the trading setups follow your rules. Personally, I am learning as well, but this has been my biggest lesson.

Of course, it's a skill, but a skill that can be learned. But, the difficult part is not to learn. The actual difficult part is to control emotions while trading, and dedicate hours and hours to learn and to get better, and again discipline and controlling emotions, I can't stress this enough. After all this, you would still also lose some trades, but the winning ones will probably outnumber the losing ones in a big way so that you be in profit overall.

Take a look at Genesis Vision although the platform is not yet released (should be released this year or even this quarter I think). Anyways, the idea is that you invest your GVT tokens with a manager, and he invests in several type of assets not just crypto. I like the project a lot tbh, but I haven't gone into it in great depth yet.

I only ever tried Bitmex, good I would say although very very frustrating when liquidity and volume increase rapidly and you can't place orders then. Heard about 1fox, but never used it myself.

Thanks, and what would be the maximum supply?

Hey dev, excellent job, just received my shares  .
I am a little bit confused with the specs of this coin..Is 80,000,000 coins the maximum supply or the current supply? and how much was premined?

A very promising start to be focusing on building a community, and to hold no ICOs. As you pointed out, most are scams indeed. I have some questions though regarding the project:
1. What is the purpose of the mobile app due in September..is it a wallet, mining..?
2. What is the ETA for a whitepaper, so that we can see what differentiates this coin or what are the long term goals of the project?

Finally, good luck and I will join the community..

Hey..good work and helpful..However, I notice that you only included 4 exchange ICOs in your study and to me it looks like you may have picked the 4 most successful exchange ICOs..because definitely there were more than 4 ICOs..I see everyday a new exchange holding an ICO..Maybe if you add all of them, you'll find that blockchain ICOs actually outperform exchanges.

Indeed after I checked, stocks.exchange requires a minimum withdrawal of 0.009 BTC and a fee of 0.004 BTC which is insane. However, you can convert your BTC to LTC or Doge (I prefer LTC because one can use it in more exchanges) and then withdraw. Withdrawal fee for LTC is 0.003. You just pay extra the trading fee for converting from BTC to LTC but definitely much better than paying 0.004 BTC in fees.

Just to be clear..Coinbase is not a wallet, it's an exchange that has its own wallet..they may take all your coins and run away..of course Coinbase is probably trustworthy, but they may get hacked for example like we hear very often with other exchanges. Best thing is to keep the coins you are not actively trading in a wallet (hardware, software, paper)..and the ones you trade more often, you could leave them on exchanges.

I think also stocks.exchange has a high minimum value of withdrawals. So, they basically force people to keep their BTC on the exchange. This for me is unacceptable to be honest. Especially, with fees being reduced all over, and the number of transactions is not going up as far as I know..Their only advantage is that they have some gem alt coins..however I prefer other exchanges now (CB, ogre, Crex, Altex, etc..)

Downloaded the wallet..looks great..but it doesn't sync..seems to have stuck on block 3507..any advice what to do?

I hope this time the thread stays alive..It's a shame that certain people would go dig up old stuff to report. Anyways, the community is growing at an incredible pace, and the Privcy project is gaining more and more supporters each day..

I have invested in few ICOs and I made profit in most of them. But, in this bear market I don't any more. I wanted though to enter in QKC for a flip, but didnt get selected. But, generally I am avoiding 99.9% of ICOs until market turns bullish again.

I use coinbase for fiat to Crypto trading and vice versa. For Alts I use primarily Binance, Bittrex, and Kucoin for high volume coins. For lower liquidity coins, I use idex, stocks.exchange, cryptobridge, altex, crex24, Cryptopia, Coinexchange and cobinhood depending on the coin I am hunting . I used all of these with no problems so far. However, I am aware of the risks of the less known exchanges, I used to hold some coins on coinsmarket and they disappeared. So, I always try to keep my coins in a wallet or not hold them on the exchange for too long.

First thing, is a presentable website with correct English and a good design. I have seen so many ICOs either with poor websites or poor English, that I don't even give a second look. If you're asking people to invest their money, at least do the effort to do the basics right. I also avoid ICOs where the technical stuff becomes too complicated for me to understand. I believe that the owners of a project should be able to explain it in simple terms so that the public understands it otherwise, the team is probably not competent enough to realize this product. That's just the first thing I look at in any new ICO.
