[...] should have acted faster

Thanks for the payment.
Sad to see these campaigns last a short time though.

i have never heard of this website but the date it gives (17th October) seems to be the correct one although i have heard multiple different dates about the hard fork so far. it seems like nobody is sure!

in any case i am looking forward to see how this one will affect ETH. this is a huge change. it kills mining so i am interested to see what will that do to the price and how the whales can manipulate it this time.

i don't know about all the altcoins but about bitcoin, yes there is a big storm coming, the storm of people who are left behind from the rising rocket to the moon when they grow more desperate every day that price rises another $100 and feel the pain of missing out.

yes you should sell because there is a shortage of the number of coins the rest of us can get at this price level and you will be doing us a big favor.

you wait until the new altcoin is listed on some exchange, then if you don't already have an account in those exchanges you sign up and deposit some money/bitcoin to buy that altcoin.

what the price will be depends on the demand. it is impossible to give any opinion right now. it can be anything from 1000 satoshi up to 0.1 bitcoin.

"you" should sell whatever amount of bitcoin you posses because you do not understand what bitcoin is. sell it now and try to come back when you studied a little and educated yourself about what bitcoin really is. try to think about what a decentralized currency really means.
i promise you that your skepticism will be over too.

the only downside to this is that by the time you understand what bitcoin is you will be forced to buy bitcoin at least $1000 above what it is currently worth.

the answer is too obvious and it is already answered so i wouldn't bother repeating the obvious but i hope a day comes that people who are involved in bitcoin start learning what bitcoin is. that day, topics like this wouldn't be created asking a pointless question.

i honestly can not see any potential in an altcoin like this. specially right now.

the coin doesn't really offer anything. there is no interest in it. it is not even listed on any major exchanges and the trading volume has always been low.
on top of it all, the price is already over pumped. it used to be 2 satoshi and then pumped to 37+ satoshi. and ever since OP posted this topic it has been dropping currently at 15!

the "market" as in general has not yet exactly rebounded. it is mostly a short recovery because of the big dumps that has been happening in the past couple of weeks. most of them can very well be called "Dead Cat Bounce".

as for specifics. i am also watching NEO and hold some. it has already increased about 40% from the bottom and i probably will hold some more of it for longer.

i disagree. there are many people on bitcointalk and more involved in cryptocurrencies but majority of them are interested in money. they want to make a profit and earn lots of money and as a secondary goal to make more bitcoin and then hold that bitcoin to make more profit on that.

i personally am a combination of these. i obviously want more money because the world runs on money not on bitcoin. but since i know the real potential of bitcoin i keep the profit in bitcoin so that some day i can spend my bitcoin which will be worth a lot.

the pumping days of bitcoin are long over. you are confusing bitcoin with some random pump and dump altcoin my friend.

there going to be rallies and corrections. and from time to time there will also be some bubbles and bigger corrections like the $5000 bubble and the correction down to $4000 but also sometimes there are FUD that causes the corrections to go deeper like this bigger drop to $3000.

and each time there is a situation like this there will be another rally after it. a rally that will lead to a much higher price and previous ATH be broken. it can start now since we still have some time until the next FUD starts.

bitcoin is a currency and a currency is used in businesses, shops, merchants and things like that. when you speak of regulations you speak of regulating all these use cases for example you take taxes from the shops that are accepting bitcoin you give businesses license to operate.
it is not really any different when regulating a business that is working with fiat.

the "crypto market is dull" because we are after a wide spread altcion pump in the market. it has nothing to do with September 30 or anything regarding that.
the FUD would have never existed if they weren't pumped or for example if the pump had happened 3 months later than the date it started.

and the market will remain like this until the bubbles all pop properly and the altcoins that were pumped hard bottom out. by that time the accumulation starts and you can see pumps again and lots of profit.

if they were trying to replace bitcoin with that cryptocurrency (i think it is called Lakshmi) they wouldn't have made bitcoin legal. they actually done that this year after a lot of debate.

their cryptocurrency is centralized and it is also in the early stages not ready for becoming big. some say the banks are doing it to make some money and cover their asses.

for the newcomers i always suggest investing in bitcoin only. that is the best option you can hope for. the market is bigger more trusted and even if you make mistakes you can be relatively sure that price will eventually recover and you make your money back. it is safe in bitcoin.

then as next step you should start trading altcoins. still no ICO though. altcoins are easier to trade and a newcomer normally doesn't even know what to look for in an ICO and how to choose from them, for them it will be like gambling if they try.

big countries supporting bitcoin is good. we have already seen the nice effects that can have on the price with Japan adopting bitcoin on a massive scale. but it is not all and it certainly is not the reason for the price rise.

it helps but in the end it will be the people who are adopting bitcoin and keep it decentralized no matter what their country says. if the government approves of bitcoin things will go easier and faster if not it will happen but slower and a little harder.

what is this "Gold" that people have been talking about (and by people i mean brand new accounts like yourself making new topics).
all i could find that was closes was BitGold which is pretty old and it was nothing interesting at all.

so if you have any information please share it with proper links here

with the huge supply that Ripple has i do not have any high hopes for its future price in long term. it will probably be less than 100 satoshi by then. and when i look at what it has accomplished i only see them hyping the coin with fake statements and no actual work in real world.
the banks that were supporting them are already making their own thing based on the blockchain and not this coin itself!

it still am waiting to see where they banned "cryptos" or as the article title says "ban bitcoin"!

to this day i have neither read any news from China about banning bitcoin nor i have seen then actually banning bitcoin.
the only thing i keep seeing is that uninformed news sites which do not even know what bitcoin is, repeat the same thing about China banning bitcoin!

the funny thing is even Chinese themselves are annoyed by this lie https://twitter.com/SatoshiLite/status/911067464796053506

pump and dump altcoins always drop harder in general.
and in case of ETH there has been lots of issues that led to the actual dump and bigger fall because in fact the news affected Ethereum most of all and if China ever bans anything they will ban ETH first.

it is unclear what you mean!
the supply of bitcoin is clear and there is nothing hidden about it. it is limited and with a logical distribution model.

on the other hand ETH has no cap (the supply is unlimited) and the distribution has been terrible! they had a huge premine of more than 70 million coins and they also had an ICO and then the mining reward is also huge.
