As is always the case in the world of cryptocurrency, diversification is key. There is no one "go-to solution" that works well for everyone.
Instead, diversifying your attention and combining different methods seems to yield the best results right now.
Trading coins works well, even in a bear market. Exploring arbitrage opportunities is another option, as it can usually be done with far less money involved.
Running a masternode, staking coins, using a Bitcointalk signature campaign, and so on are all methods one shouldn't overlook either. It requires some work as there is no such thing as free money, especially in the cryptocurrency world.
If push comes to shove, you can always blog about stuff on Steemit in the hopes that platform doesn't go belly up in the coming months.

barely getting network connections since yesterday, does anyone have a list of working nodes to connect to? Edit: problem sorted itself thanks to some help on Discord  If anyone needs some nodes: addnode=185.2.103.114 addnode=178.238.235.79 addnode=80.241.213.68 addnode=107.174.61.136 addnode=149.28.247.222 addnode=45.77.163.19 addnode=116.203.22.193 |

It is uncanny how often people continue to fall for the same cheap tricks shown by initial coin offerings. You have outlined some very interesting facts in this regard. One can only hope more people start taking this kind of advice to heart in the coming months and years.
It is not overly difficult to distinguish between a legitimate offering and one that will probably turn into a scam. All people need to do is some research, rather than just throwing money at something and hope they get rich off doing so.

There has never been any valid association between Bitcoin and the "bubble syndrome" whatsoever. Simply because a market's value rises, comes down, and then rises again doesn't mean it is a bubble. Instead, that is how markets work, especially the ones key to supply and demand like Bitcoin itself.
The only thing genuinely in a bubble is traditional finance, a system which is bound to collapse on its own sooner rather than later. The way banks and corporations control finance is not sustainable for much longer, and a reckoning will occur sooner or later. That might not necessarily draw more people to Bitcoin, though.

While many people may want to see a Bitcoin price of $1,500 again in the near future, that seems rather unlikely first and foremost. I can't deny there is a lot of bearish pressure on the market, and there may be further drops to come. However, it seems unlikely the price will go below $3,000, at least throughout 2018. No one can predict the future and there is a good chance 21019 will offer even more bearish pressure moving forward. This is not the longest bear market Bitcoin has seen so far, thus it is pretty much impossible tot ell what the future will hold for us all. Personally, I never invested in Bitcoin with my own money, but at $1,500, I'd certainly be tempted to give it a shot The big question is: what would make the Bitcoin price drop to $1,500 compared to its current level? |

It has always baffled me how the "renting industry" as a whole remains woefully inefficient. Although it remains unclear if blockchain can make a meaningful impact on a global scale in this regard, I am curious to see what Rento can bring to the table.
After all, solutions like these can let anyone benefit from a different approach. The team seems professional, and I can't wait to see if they can pull off something like this in the real world.

I love this forum. Thanks for setting the record straight, JP! I’m sorry for doubting your existence, but it was definitely a compliment. 15 articles a day is crazy!
No worries, i was never offended by any posts in this topic by you or anyone else |

I have worked with him for two years and even I'm not sure sometimes  Even an A.I. couldn't monitor as many chatrooms as he does in a day. No one ever said an AI would be better than humans Average humans, sure, but not everyone's average. |

Am I the only person that thinks JP Buntinx is bot and not a real person? I searched and didn’t see any commentary on this forum. I’m pretty sure JP Buntinx is not a real journalist. Thoughts?
Hello CherrySoda! Good to see my name being mentioned on this forum, I think... The jury is still out on that one. I am a very real person and it is the name given to me at birth. I do work for a few different sites and produce an average of 15 pieces of content per day. That makes me a rarity, granted, but it is how I pay my bills every month One thing you are correct on, however, is how I am indeed not a journalist. I never claim to be one either, mind you, as I am a freelance writer. If I were a journalist, my daily content production would not only be less, but also more boring to both write and read. That is a matter of personal preference, but it's not something I would pursue personally. As long as my employers are happy, I am happy, and that is all that matters in the end. |

Apparently there is some form of chainsplit which causes a few MNs to drop off due to being on the wrong chain. Let's hope this sorts itself out or the devs can get us an update. EDIT: Issue resolved in my case with a regular reindex |

Running my [first?] masternode for Vivo over the past 18 hours and got 4 payments so far, which is more than expected. Quite pleased with the results! If I ever get to an additional 1000 coins I'll set up a second MN on a VPS |

There are some investors stuck in some investments! Like Bancor and SONM! When they withdraw their money from this projects, it will be a matter of hours for ICO Skincoin to be finalized! 2 million dollars raised can't be considered a failure! More than 150% of the goal was achieved! People won't - and shouldn't - get rid fo SONM for the first year or two, it's not a pump and dump ICO like Bancor and others. I'm holding SNM, SKIN, DCorp and MCO tokens right now, with plans to invest in other ICOs moving forward. Never go all-in on one particular project  |

I think that this is the unprofessional work of the guys from the sonm.
They sent the tokens to the address from the payment, although in the form on the site I indicated a another address, this indicates that they manually processed payments.
We made a mistake and do not want to recognize it.
I think there are a lot of such deceived investors.
No, it's your mistake and your own fault. It doesn't matter what address you tell them to send tokens to, smart contracts only issue tokens to the address the funds were sent from. The page clearly states NOT to send funds from an exchange wallet, and you did so anyway. If you think that is unprofessional, you might want to look at every ICO out there. The rules are the EXACT SAME for all of them. I doubt you will get access to your tokens since Poloniex won't give you the wallet's private key. Either with till SONM is listed on Poloniex or take the loss due to your own ignorance. |

Loaded has still not replied to me. I also heard through the grapevine that the author of the article that claimed I had backed out of this bet was paid by Blockstream. I don't know if that is true or not, but it would be very interesting if someone could prove that he was paid by Blockstream to write those lies. Shame on JP Buntinx for writing it. You are absolutely delusional and make the oddest claims to back yourself out of the corner you are now trapped in. I don't even know any of the members of Blockstream, let alone they would know who I am. Your allegations are seriously getting on my nerves, to say the least. I even went through the trouble of writing an updated article, yet you handily seem to ignore that. You are the laughing stock of the bitcoin community, Ver, and your gig is up. Just admit you grasp at straws to justify yourself and fail miserably at doing so. Going after me personally will not you by any means, but rest assured i don't forget personal attacks so easily. |

WOW! JP Buntinx is well know cryptocurrency expert. Real nice to see he write about Creditbit! Wasn't me who wrote it but i had the privilege of publishing it |

Becase it is so hard to publicly prove you have contacted Loaded, right? |

Mostly dead coins gets relisted due to new developments... relist happens at 1 sat.
I know some people who said to watch out for this, so I bought a few between 320 and 350 sat... and placed some buy orders on lower positions.
They relisted due to moving these tokens to the Counterparty protocol, if I'm not mistaken. As a semi-active trader, Coval looks like a good opportunity. The project looks solid and legit too, especially now that the coin supply has been reduced from 40bn to around 1bn (of which 300k coins are lost to Cryptsy and 300k is held as a premine by the devs for the beta testing of the apps) |

no premine , no ico ??
How will you fund the development ??
self-funded development as far as i know, but feel free to correct me if i'm wrong |
