ICO is never a bad move but you need to consider a lot of things so that you will have security with your investments. You said it yourself that you've heard a lot of scams when it comes to ICO so I highly suggest that you find a coin or token to invest in which has a very good performance in the market. I can recommend some few promising altcoins that could give you decent profit in the future.

Here is my top list of altcoins:

1.IOST
2.EOS
3.XMR
4. DASH

Always remember to invest an amount that you can afford to lose.

Yes, you should purchase now before you miss the green trains but be extra careful as well for we all know that crypto values are very volatile and we can't really predict what will happen in the future. Just monitor the market often for you to be able to do a stop loss and won't lose everything you've invested but if you're doing a long term investment then I'm positive that by the end of the year you will surely profit. Please invest an amount that you can afford to lose.

I guess it won't be gone. ICOs will always be there as long as people will invest in it. There's a lot of money involve in ICOs and people behind it will have great profits if they are launching their own projects. In nature people are greedy and they want to profit more and earn more through ICOs. They don't care if their technology will last for years as long as they can profit out of it.

As what I've learned only those who have less knowledge about crypto and those people who wants to get rich real quick are the ones being victimized by these scam schemes. There's no such thing as easy money without any risks. If you want to join in a ponzy and HYIP then the risk is very high. If its too good to be true then you should be having second thoughts about investing your money in it.

I don't think it will surpass the last December's value but if you'll just think it over, the next halving will be happening next year May 2019 and the difficulty of mining will increase again making bitcoin more scarce and valuable. This is just my own opinion, so during December people have lots of money due to bonuses from their pay. Those extra money that they have will be allocated to spending it into crypto for possible profit by next year. It's always been the trend that bitcoin value will always increase during December so let's just wait and see what the future will bring.

Specially when the people behind working and supporting the project is tired of developing their project to make it more valuable and usable to the society. That is why some coins or projects won't be successful its mainly because some companies are only after for the money that they can get during ICO. Their only goal is to profit from it and no plans of developing their project further to make it more usable and valuable in the future.

Eth has already established its name and there are lots of supporters backing up Eth so I don't think EOS can surpass Eth in the near future. It's possible but not in the near future since Eth has already proven its performance in the market next to bitcoin and the devs behind it is also working hard to do some upgrades that will enhance the technology of the Eth platform.

No one can really predict the value of bitcoin but if you are trying to look back December last year then the possibility is very high if the trend will just follow and history will repeat itself. Hope that bitcoin will perform well in the market when we reach Q4 of the year so that experts' predictions will be realized. We just have to wait what the future may bring to us and enjoy our profits if that time will come. Happy hodling and have a good one.

I guess this will never happen. Every country that doesn't ban bitcoin needs to regulate exchanges for them to monitor and track down possible money laundering acts. I know bitcoin is created to be fully decentralized trying to correct the blunders made by our centralized currency but this will just be merely a dream for now. It's either our country bans crypto or they'll regulate exchanges. We don't have a choice since we are dealing with the government.

Even if I didn't experience it myself I felt bad for you since you've worked hard for it, spend some time and effort bounty hunting and it just goes down to the hands of the hacker. I just didn't exactly know why are you even hacked? Have you been phished? or have you left or given your private keys to anyone you know? This is so frustrating when our hard earned money be gone to waste. I really want all hackers to be gone and be put behind bars. They just can't stop taking money from people. I just couldn't understand why these guys won't find a decent job and earn a living? Hope these guys will rot in hell.

It really depends on the value's of every crypto that I'm holding. There are some altcoins that needs to grow and mature so I'll be holding it for like 3-4 years for me to get more profit from it. When it comes to bitcoin I guess I've learned my lesson last year. I need to get or even predict the correct timing of its ATH for this year for me to cash out or even convert it to FIAT and then wait again for it to drop its value the following year. It's always been the trend when it comes to bitcoin so as well as altcoins but I'm just really hoping that I'll be making a very good decision when that time comes.

It's quite risky but its worth it when its value skyrockets. You just have to pick which token to invest make sure that their technology is promising and theirs a room for the value of the token to skyrocket in the near future or else your investments will go down the drain. Sometimes most of these tokens are just used for pumps and dumps so invest only an amount that you can afford to lose.

You are right. As what we have experienced last December, bitcoin's price is at its ATH and that was the best moment to cash out and enjoy the profits. Since bitcoin's value is very volatile and unpredictable we can't even say that this is the ATH. We won't know when to cash out cos our greed will take over us specially if we see its value skyrocket. We still want some more of it because of our greediness to profit some more and that's the time we lose.

You're right. The government needs to make a move because these scam ICOs are taking advantage of people's money. I do pity those naive individuals who are still new in cryptos who invests their retirement money into ICOs and just get scammed. Individuals who have lack of knowledge because of the hype of bitcoin is very vulnerable to these kinds of schemes.


The better their whitepaper and the promotion of the project the more it will attract huge number of investors. As long as the project that they are making is realistic and usable for the betterment and improvement of our technology then investors won't have second thoughts in investing their money into a promising project that could possibly multiply their money in folds.


Those individuals who were scammed is now paranoid and more careful in investing their hard earned money into crypto because of these rampant scam ICOs that are flooding the market annually. That is why the government is really doing their best now to regulate and makes sure that the company and the people behind these ICOs should provide documents as proof of their legitimacy.

Even in forex manipulation already did happen. If a bunch of whales grouping up together and arriving at a common consensus that they'll gonna pump and dump btc or even altcoins in the market then it would really affect the value of crypto. This is an illegal movement since there are lots of players and investors in the crypto market.

I've once joined a discord group few months back where in the members are told to pump and dump at a certain time and it really did well for all of us who executes fast at a given time. So manipulation of prices in the market is really possible but could destroy the image of the market itself as well as pester those small fishes in the market.

Poverty is everywhere. There are always poor people in every country that we live in and we can't do anything about it since some of these guys chose to be in that position. I may be born poor because my parents are poor but it would be my fault if I'd die poor so right now I'm working my ass off and trying to invest in crypto as much as I can to have more profit in the future and save those for my family and my retirement.

Bitcoin is not made to solve poverty. Poverty will always be there. There's no rich if there's no poor people.

I concur with you on that matter. That should be the best thing to do but if you do believe in the technology of the coin then hold it for a few months or even years and the profit will be overwhelming given that the coin is promising and that it can fully deliver its purpose why it is made in the first place. There's nothing wrong in playing safe by selling it after an ICO but this will hurt the coin that you invested in and the possibility of getting more profit in the future will be at stake as well.

Aside from supply and demand, the value of bitcoin is determined when there's a fake news or rumor about bitcoin, cryptomarket manipulation by those people who has very huge investments into bitcoin who we call whales in the cryptomarket, and if when huge amount of bitcoin is hacked specially in a reputable exchanger. All those factors could affect the price of bitcoin.

This is one of the reasons why some countries are banning cryptos since there are so many tax evaders anywhere in the world. The nation will not improve without any taxes from the people. Taxes are important to augment government infrastructures that could potentially create jobs for the people and funding of health care facilities as well.
There's nothing wrong paying your taxes since crypto nowadays has already been regulated by the government.

Mark is a businessman and he knows that he can profit more if he's gonna make his new coin. With the success of facebook as a social media no doubt he can pull it off as well when it comes to the acceptance and adaption of the society to this new alt FaceCoin if it will be realized in the future. It will be an advantage since Mark owned facebook so its easier to spread the word out and let people know about the new coin. In my own opinion this altcoin will surely skyrocket.
