Probably it will be cancelled to as the fork now has been moved to may 2018. Granting that it would still be resumed, bitcoin would surge again as many investors want free coins and then dump it after. Same pattern like the previous forks: wash, rinse repeat.

If bitcoin is the progenitor of cryptos, then ethereum is the progenitor of many tokens that makes up the majority of market activity. I'd also rather trust eth than waves since it is more established and more popular. It's kind of sad though that there has been many issues with it now like the parity attack.

Ever got (and still hodling)--SUB1X, EXRN, Ethereum blue, Peculium, POS, ACC, Lucrum
Didn't get--ebtc, alaricoin, hawala, Vand.

We can see that the segwit has been cancelled and as a result altcoins are already gaining traction. This is the result of bitcoin investors realizing they have no free coins and now they are pulling out of the market to reinvest in altcoins. Now might be the right time to buy if you ask me as majority of the alts are in green.

There would be a trade-off between regulation and anonymity. We will probably lose the latter (which is the selling point of cryptocurrencies) since the very notion of regulation is tightening the freedom bitcoin offers. I personally can think of a way of regulating it without jeopardizing anonymity but would I would probably support it if they can come up with a good approach.

Having coins on exchanges is like putting your money in a not-so-hard glass case--it barely has protection and can be destroyed anytime. I myself have learned this lesson the hard way and from then on, I don't care how paranoid people might think I am because in reality you'll wont think hacking is possible until it happens to you.

It depends on where you live. In my case, electricity and internet connection are expensive, the climate is humid so I need to spend a hefty amount of money for good quality cooling system. So starting to mine here would be less profitable than buying bitcoins directly.

It is very possible that it will improve in terms of investment, however the problem with scalability might not be resolved till then or maybe it will fork again

You are late, that's a fact. But the good thing in cryptos (bitcoin especially) is that it hasn't shown it's maximum potential yet. So invest now or regret it further.

I doubt it. Majority of bitcoin enthusiast are in for the money;when there is volatility there is profit whereas in stability you gain nothing.

Very unlikely, it will probably be the same with bitcoin cash--rise momentarily then reach a slump after a few days.

Transactions fees aren't high, it's just that there's a high chance that you have used a bad bitcoin wallet. Also fess are pretty reasonable compared to the hassle of sending fiat overseas.

Hello, I have ranked up to member. Please update my rank on the spreadsheet (#41) if you find the time, thank you!

Not all altcoins. I have held and bought CCT before the fork hoping the price would bounce back up but I was wrong it seems. Now I have learned that if a coin was shit from the start, better dump it fast.

I have only used two exchanges so far: etherdelta and hitbtc. I wanted to try yobit but upon comparing it to hitbtc, the latter seems to have better rates. I use etherdelta too as it is decentralized and most coins  are listed almost immediately after ICO; the UI is crappy though.

No choice but to support Ethereum since most tokens are based on its platform. In fairness, eth's price is pretty nice atm (from a the point of view of noobs like me) compared the these past few months.

Another promising and  unique concept introduced in the blockchain. I hope this project becomes a success as many professionals would benefit from it.

Personally, I don't mind if ICO's were to be banned for good. We have 800+ coins in the market both good and shit coins. So that will actually be an advantage if implemented.

There are none and that will probably persist till the end. What do you expect from some coin that gives free token to 2000+ participants, surely they cannot possibly control the market

I have never seen a signature campaign that pays participants with ethereum, only bitcoins and the altcoins they are trying to promote. I there's no reason to pay with ethereum tbh.
