Split your investments, 30% for BTC and 70% in altcoins, because after the segwit 2x BTC price could be dump hardly and alt is the way to make another profit
What makes you think that the price of bitcoin will dumb as soon as the segwit 2x is activated,i am not sure where the price would go after the fork but i am positive that you wont see a crash unless there is some major issues arising after the fork,i understand both sides of the fork but i am still not sure which will serve us better in the long run.I will hold on to my coins and will decide about it later. Well, the last time Bitcoin rose this hard it dumped to 50% of its peak and then went flat for quite a while with a slight downward tilt. I doubt that we'll be seeing this again though, at least not this time. A ~50% correction might happen for all I know, but it won't last for years like last time.

I usually do not participate the fork. Well I refer it as an airdrop yes but I don't want in fork. It is just like risking your bitcoin for another coin and what if your bitcoins will be taken away from you if that happens?
It's pretty easy to safely take the airdrops if you back up your wallet. Just make sure that you can access your wallet from another computer and then do the fork if you want to be super safe.

Hard to really say, since it depends heavily on the market and the overall mood of the people in it. More interestingly though, how many of those 100k+ Bitcoin addresses do you think are no longer accessible? ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

I always hold my coins in a desktop wallet or Trezor and only put them on an exchange when I know that I will be buying something. Not worth the risk of keeping them stashed away in an exchange.

I don't think that Bitcoin crashing would necessarily imply that altcoins would crash as well. As long as there's some real world value in an altcoin it can thrive regardless of what Bitcoin is doing. And we'll be getting there sometime in the coming years.
The rest of your analysis is pretty accurate though. Would add "herd think" into the list, since more investors means more hype meaning more investors meaning more hype, until the asset is mainstream. Bitcoin doesn't have any "upper cap" on what it "should be" worth like stocks, so it can keep climbing until there's no more people left that can afford to join the party.
So as long as we gain more investors than we lose to FUD Bitcoin will keep climbing. And only a simultaneous onslaught of FUD campaigns by multiple governments could create that level of FUD at this point.

A well educated nation is the key to achieving equality in development among nations.
Check out Google. They claim to be pro equality, but in reality they're not and fire anyone who thinks differently from them. And that's even though Google has some of the most educated people in the world today. So education alone is not enough.

Please be patient. Stakes only get updated once every week or so. The stakes have been delayed this time around, because the dev team is working hard on pushing out the alpha version!

IMHO, Waves is a good choice specially for long term but you should avoid putting all your eggs on this basket! ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) I agree with you. At the moment WAVES dropped to $2.8 few days ago, I converted 8% of my portfolio to WAVES and managed to buy it at $2.84-$2.91. Now I sold 1/2 for 20+% profit and put another buying order @2.8. I will hold the rest for at least few months as I believe the price will pass $5 in earlier 2018. However, you are right about all eggs - always have a wide portfolio. Be careful about having a "too wide" portfolio though. There are a lot of people who assume that diversification means buying as many assets as possible. That's not the case though. It's better to have a few really strong assets than a lot of mediocre ones. So it always pays to do extremely thorough research on every investment. Thanks, I'm careful. But I'm not confider a portfolio of 13-20 coins and tokens too wide. Following all the news around them. Usually 60% of coins I'm holding are for 6+ months and the rest 40% are for more short term speculations. I found this for balanced approach. Depending on how long you've been investing even hundreds of assets isn't necessarily too much. But it's generally better to research one carefully than to invest in 2-5 blindly. That's all I'm trying to say. If you can research your 13-20 coins properly and could hold them blindly without feeling worried, then you're good.

Only those great altcoins with great team can withstand the continuous Bitcoin Hype! ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) I don't see lot of "great altcoins" that are standing with the bitcoin hype! These forks are destroing them. I heard there will be a third fork.. is it true? It's called Segwit2x, yes. Altcoins aren't getting destroyed though, it just takes time for assets to appreciate and most altcoins haven't produced anything of value so far.

This is ridiculous, I wanna see you trying to get a sandwich/house with bitcoins in those countries.
A sandwich would be pretty easy in some of them. A house probably not. BitGo lead engineer Jameson Lopp created a clone of the global M1 index, a metric used evaluate the money supply of a country, to observe bitcoin’s ranking amongst some of the world’s most widely used and accepted currencies like the US dollar and Japanese yen. According to Lopp and the clone of the global M1 index he has created, bitcoin is currently ranked 32nd most valuable currency globally, with a market valuation of over $122 billion. The market cap of bitcoin is larger than many of the national currencies like the Singaporean dollar, Malaysian ringgit, Thai Baht, and Brazilian real.

I like the project but just feel that their timing is very wrong, most ICOs are indeed struggling to raise fund in the current state of the market
Bad for them, good for investors of serious ICOs. If they raise less, there'll be far more room for growth in the future. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Hmmmm at first I did not want to know about it cause id be shocked if we are not really alone in the universe but since curiosity kills me and my brother so we search and watched some legitimate videos about extraterrestrial beings and guess what we found out that they are here living among us hiding for millennia and adapting to our society undetected.
I don't think the videos that you've watched were very legitimate. If that was the case it would most likely be commonly known and not stamped off as fringe conspiracies.

Can't we just ban campaign managers who don't blacklist these types of spammers though?
Someone who just posts phrases completely void of any information shouldn't be getting paid, since they are actively creating a bad image around crypto and the projects they are supposed to promote with their actions.
It would be a bit excessive IMO. They aren't guilty of paying people to spam. They are guilty of neglecting their job as managers and not monitoring users like they should be. If people are spamming they are negatively impacting the campaign and through it the business that paid for this campaign. It's not like campaign managers have to get banned straight off when a spammer gets through the sieve every now and then. But they should be held accountable in some way if they repeatedly proceed payments for spammers. It seems like the easiest way to solve the issue, since there are far less managers than spamming accounts. It's going to be difficult to stop spamming without stopping the root cause of it, which are the monetary rewards that these spammers get.

When you can earn $500 a month
'We' can't. Only somebody like Theymos could, and that isn't likely to happen. I would also suggest that if you have a Hero member account, you can easily earn over $500/month with just one account. Justone account! These farmers who have multiple accounts in multiple campaigns or who are doing airdrops and whatever else, they have to be living large in Indonesia/Vietnam/Philippines/Wherever. I understand the motive very clearly. The only thing to do right now is to report the garbage posts and the copy/pasters. Don't expect campaign managers to get banned anytime soon. I don't care if people have several accounts in sig campaigns...it's just that the quality of posts from some of these idiots is lower than dirt. They can't even write a proper sentence in English, and it's all 'you can get profit by holding or mining investing and bitcoin is great', that sort of thing. It makes this forum unbearably dull. Those kinds of post probably contribute to some people thinking that Bitcoin is just a shady ponzi/scam. Good thing some big names jumped on and cleared that superstition though.

Banning campaign managers won't solve the problem. The problem is that account spamming is not solved quick enough. Especially on the foreign boards with no admin you could just spam 1234 in a different language and nobody will look at it. The only thing we can do as a community is recognize these accounts and report them. But if we banned the campaign managers who pay spammers, there eventually wouldn't be any campaigns left that were profitable to those people. And then they would disappear. It would take a bit until the full effects are felt, but sooner or later the spammers should be gone.

dont put all your money in one coin :/ you should diversify a bit. like waves is good, but WAVES has alot of potential, aswel las STRAT and some other coins in the market, you should invest in more coins than one if your doing it with all of your money. so if one goes to the bin you dont loose all of your money
Different investment could lead to larger and better results though having money in different places could mean that all that money could be gone if the project turns out to be a scam. Having money in different assets is specifically to avoid the risk of losing everything to a scam or unsuccessful business though. As long as you're thorough in your research before investing you'll be fine.

I never used my money to buy drugs or even a cigarette, why should I start using bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency to buy drugs anything like that. I never used cash which is as anonymous as a cryptocurrency to financial any illegal activity. Why people associate crypto with illegal, it is just stupidity and lack of knowledge and good sense. Every new technology may be used for good and evil. When they invented the plane was to transport people not to wage wars. They invented bitcoin and cryptocurrency to improve and decentralize banking not to buy drugs or finance terrorism.
it's unfortunate some people have decided to use bitcoin for the wrong reasons because we would have lived a better life if all the negativism about bitcoin is stopped because buying drugs and other banned substances online with bitcoin could really spell doom or some of us if our respective governments decided to check the transactions on the netwiork. Again, people using Bitcoin for illegal stuff doesn't matter. Most of illegal trade is still happening in US Dollars.

Ants think we are alone underground, until they reach surface ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Have you heard of the ant species that decapitates the queens of other ant colonies and then rubs itself with its remains to fool the other ants into believing that their queen is still alive? Point is, I don't think they're aware of a lot of what is going on around them, even overground. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

If they could think this far ahead they wouldn't need to rely on account farming for an income in the first place.
I've also been noticing a ridiculous amount of foreign language posts outside of the local forums by the way.
The income from signatures has reached some incredible numbers lately so you can expect the spammers to keep working. When you can earn $500 a month writing posts and a standard full time job in your country pays $200... If you take a closer look the biggest spammers are illiterate. They are either copying stuff or using google translate or writing simple things like the ones you're being taught in primary school. Coin good like to invest and make money good luck with your project! Last guy I caught a week ago was farming multiple accounts by saying something like that in every thread. Can't we just ban campaign managers who don't blacklist these types of spammers though? Someone who just posts phrases completely void of any information shouldn't be getting paid, since they are actively creating a bad image around crypto and the projects they are supposed to promote with their actions.
