There are a lot of things needs to be considered when a project is not able to reach soft cap and then the hard cap.
Because, there are a lot of reasons could be behind this scenario like devs might have set some unrealistic target for their ICO and the another reason might be obviously investors may not be interested nor not get convinced with that project to invest with them.

When devs are not realistic about their target cap setting then that also must be a weak point about them and their capability. They must be capable of foreseeing the future of their product and studying market for that only will help them to eliminate such mistakes.

Anything will be possible along with this bull run but we need to be more realistic because after a heavy downfall in 2018, I'm just hesitating to call for similar events of 2017 as it might be to early to expect that to happen again in this crypto space. Since I'm repeating anything will be possible here in this crypto space. Hence, we must need to be preferred to have any long and strong bull run too.

At the minimum level, we can expect bitcoin prices to test at least $10k levels within this year and if that will be happening, I believe we can mark this year also a good year for all the cryptos.

But I do see even $500 also will be a very big achievement for ethereum as its ICO industry had earned very big bad name among investors hence devs now started to consider other platform for their ICO. This is the reason now a days we are having many new ICOs are coming out based on EOS and waves platforms.

Ethereum may face a very hard time in this year. Because, lots of scammy ICOs had damaged the fame of ethereum. Also, I never consider this unlimited coin for my long term holding.

Even in the beginning days of any project/token we can see huge volume at all the exchanges it has been listed out.
Hence, I believe we do not need to bother about how the team is developing the project to identify whether it is good or not through trading volume.

When a token is not having healthy trading volume then we can easily understand something is not going as per the expectation of investors and traders and it would be much better to stay away from that token instead of considering low-volume as a criteria for choosing a token.

Only time will decide whether ethereum will be worth for investing or not because unlike last few years now it is facing heavy competition with a similar other coins. That is the reason many people are considering that ethereum may not get back high value like it had done in the past.

Its unlimited supply must be another concern for many people when a coin is having inflationary nature it may not be suitable for long term holding. The final thing must be ethereum based tokens massive scam scenarios, which had made very bad name for ICO industry and for ethereum as well.

It is unlikely that it will "zero out" because the people behind bitcoin cash are super rich and they can continue buying bitcoin cash for more money and sell it for less so they can keep it alive. It is a future profit deal for them to lose money now in order to make money later on.

I have seen a smaller version myself where a person I know made a new coin and airdropped it to people and he literally sold and bought enough of his coin to keep it alive for a long time and when investors realized it didn't went down thanks to him spending money on it they started to buy it more and that is when he was capable of selling as well which means price was stuck between what he wants it to be higher than and what he wants to sell it.

Bitcoin cash is that simple, at a certain price bitcoin cash people will hold it above a price but will also sell it for a certain price which means it won't zero out but it won't go too high neither.

I prefer keep holding because it gives you a better chance of better reward. Not holding for a while neither, I mean holding for years. I am collecting bitcoin like its going to be a million dollars one day, I doubt it will ever reach those prices but I do believe that if I react like that even if it reaches 50 thousand dollars one day I will be super rich. Having 9 bitcoins at these prices equals to 36 thousand dollars or so and if it reaches to 36 thousand dollars (which I believe one day it will) that means 9 times the profit which equals to having 324 thousand dollars.

Look at the difference, 36 thousand dollars could make a lot of changes in ones life, you can live in USA and change small things like get a new car, or you can live in a third world country like me and get a house if you want. However, having 324 thousand dollars even in USA would change a lot while in a third world country could change your whole life.

Well I won't say crypto trading will create job for those that don't have jobs in a country because it takes funds to trade you know. If they don't have jobs, then how do they get fund to begin with. It would only create jobs if the government of those countries are willing to give out funds to people without jobs so that they can trade and maybe return a percentage of their profit back to the government.

Many people are not in favor of margin trading like you but it will be good when you are good at your research and analysis. When markets behave as per your expectations then there could be plenty of chances for you to make big money from margin trading. At the same time, you may lose big in opposite markets and that too may happen in very short period of time itself.

Yes, margin trading will add extra risks to your trading hence not using it is always recommended but it will be good for professional kind of higher end traders.

Day trading also will be profitable if you trade only high volume assets and you must be ready to convert your day trading into short term trading. It may prevent you to book losses within a day. When we trade highly reputed coins and tokens then we never need to worry on where we are heading and what could be closing value for a day.

Dude probably meant to send 2100 eth and pay 0.1 as the transaction fee but mistook the places in between. This has happened multiple times in many coins before, people keep doing the same mistake, thankfully that money is not going to waste, the miners who take the fee's take that money so its still in circulation and not lost but we need to find a way to fix this.

For example, a blockchain that basically stops people from sending too much money as a fee would be a good option, think of ethereum and when you want to send money blockchain declines anything over 1 eth for transaction fee? That would be super cool but I am not a developer so I don't know how it could be done.

That would prevent stuff like these to happen and we would be at least ease in mind about our transactions and making mistakes like this.

By far the best one out there is still https://cointracking.info . It is not just a coin portfolio management website which it is but it also connects to your exchanges via api (only read is enough) and follows your moves so you do not have to manually do anything, from your trades to your profits to losses you can see everything there, it is really detailed and it is automated so it makes you not work for anything at all. It is not free (well there is a small free demo but its not really worth it) but it really deserves the money it gets.

Also for Americans they help you with calculating your taxes, since it can check all the moves you made in crypto via their API they just tell you how you can file for your tax and pay them and how much etc etc, it really helps the Americans as far as I know but I am not american so never used it myself.

This is how they are supporting their early adopters. Other than this, it will imply like they are no more interested into their projects. Recently, one of my friend shared like he came across many very good white papers and high potential concepts but unfortunate most devs are losing their interest to continue their hard work after ICO. It means once they see some money, they just want to have vacation by forgetting their promises.

A good project must focus of product/solution. I do not have any argument on that. But, they must allocate some 5% to 10% for buy back of tokens and then after implementing their solution or after developing and after start profiting from the project they must focus on buy-back of tokens with up to 25% of their margin levels. It will be beneficial to them and for early investors too.

If you target the future prices of BTC or ETH, it will not be harder. I mean finding good potential project is always harder and when the whole market is down we cannot expect big rewards from any bounty programs. Hence, we may go for working for bounties regardless of what we had experienced previously but we need to make sure at least this time that we are choosing a high potential project for bounty participation.

My humble suggestion is, spend more time for analyzing projects and then work with them and collect as much as tokens/coins and wait for the markets to recover then get benefited along with market rise up.

This is the reason why we must choose and contribute to the ICO which is having unique products/solutions so that they might be having better chances to become successful and their token will sustain with better price levels. Competitions is everywhere still how heavy their promotion will bring the differences.

Working project might be just an eligibility criteria for choosing an ICO but it will never guarantee that we can make profits with that ICO. Moreover, many scam devs had just showed some working model and then stayed inactive which ended up investors go losing all their money. This is the reason, even with a working model, ICO investments are still just a gambling as it has only less than 50% chances for better ROI.

It depends on what could be done with it. I mean they basically have their own currency at the expense of buying or selling items and keys and cases and whatever but considering both PUBG declining because of fortnight and now apex and considering they are already tied to steam (which you can use regular fiat but no crypto) I think it wouldn't be a smart advertisement for them. They need a ton more stuff to make them money instead of changing the way how to accept money.

The focus for PUBG right now is to get the hype back on and get people to spend money on the game they already bought, game is basically free, you are paying hundreds of dollars for a skin for your weapon and that is it. Crypto currency wouldn't be the direction that would help them at all, it wouldn't make any difference to the game itself.

Pivot point based trading is always effective but you need to be sure considering longer time frame like you should not consider only yesterday's data for deriving your today's support and resistance levels but you must go for last week or last 3 to 5 days day to derive your support and resistance levels so that you may get accurate predictions.

I am just following candlestick pattern recognizing for my trading and I do trade occasionally hence I am not having any big trade ideas to share here.

Trading bots which will do trades faster ? I guess you refer this speed of trade only in subject line but never in your open-post.
Moreover, your subject line is misleading or do you mean that you are capable of creating trading bots in quicker time ? I am sorry I am clueless here.

I guess this topic is not about trading hence it must be moved to either services boards or to service announcement board as it is all about providing services and not about trading related discussion.

This topic is seeming like a well-designed for the purpose of promoting some exchanges and not intended for actual discussion on what and why noob traders are failing in trading.

Unlike what OP is stating, the fees for trading in most exchange is always negligible hence we never need to look for any discounts. At least this way I am trading in cryptos for last 3 to 4 years. Moreover, major exchanges are providing discounts based on trading volume hence for both low and high level traders fee is not at all a concern.

Yes, day trading timings are known heaven for committing unexpected mistakes. We need to be more careful so that we can avoid those mistakes but it will be possible only after having plenty of experience in day trading otherwise almost all the traders are making mistakes in day trading as it is easier for them to get emotionally failed due to fluctuations of day to day markets.

We may go for listing all the mistakes which are possible in entire trading then we can adopt those for day trading too because day trading is known for committing more mistakes than any other type of trading.
