I hope we are aware of this and whales could actually manipulate our minds the same thing as they could able to manipulate the market.
100BTC? Thought that whales are making out from crypto. maybe we are wrong but it might probably just a transfer to another exchanger. For this, I say that it never gives a huge market effect in the market but rather to see a normal case scenario. Yet, it happens multiple times since before.

Absolutely, we have to think positive but we also think the capability of the market as well.
Yeah, a lot of mystery in here and even not know that this marker will gain such popularity and market value. From scratch to a valuable asset, from $0 to $20k in 10 years? But due to the fact that we never know what will happen next, 2017 alike trend could be possible but I'm in doubt to see it this year. But not possible next year if halving will showing positive results.

To be honest, EOS is not on my list. I'd never see the strong potential for this coin that is why I rather escape it even EOS is on the top listed coin in the market. Maybe I was focusing on Bitcoin and ETH but something to say that EOS never has that much and it can hardly making money out from it.

But anyway, this is just my opinion and I don't want to drag people not to invest EOS if they saw such potentiality in the future.
We can also see https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/eos/.

This sentiment tells something that many people are trying to take advantage of the market and find its way as the best strategy to accumulate money by way of scamming. But unfortunately, people are learning already with this kind of trick and that is why we can see a lot of unsuccessful projects exist in the market today.

It surely there is a lot more coming and a long list to see in the coming days. In fact, I'd never see some of those OP's list until it has been listed.
I could say that, the increasing numbers of exposing scam projects will give a huge factor to crypto and that it cleaned up and let the legit ones stay.

Small assets?

With that particular limitation, I'd rather put my money in an investment. Trading is such a high risk that I don't have any assurance to have a good return knowing that our funds are not big enough to roll the market. I was considering/presume that the market will soon surge high and that investing today is a good idea and less risk. But if I have an enough money to start, I have to take them both.

Binance is already on the top tier at this time and no wonder why people are supposed to choose this trading platform. Binance is not really that old exchanger unlike Bittrex and many others but they are trying to improve their reputation and build a strong foundation in order to get trust from the community which is a very important showcase that a certain exchanger must have to work. And in terms of security and safety of our funds, we can't get a hundred percent of it but actually they are giving the utmost way to keep it secured.

In general, we are greatly expecting (huge) returns.

At first, only a few have noticed the potentiality of bitcoin (that was 10 years ago) but when the market started to grow every year and having wide-spread adoption it attracts attention globally. And it was then giving a nice and big surprise when it once reaches to its ATH last 2017. No wonder how people having regrets seeing Bitcoin before but it is only just ignored. I don't think people will still be doing like this for they have some hints that it rises up high again in the future.

Besides, capital will also affect our trade. The more we have, the more we can play with the trend. That is why I'd never encouraged people to trade to its minimum but rather to have some more. We can't be profitable with that $100, truly.

And one last thing we need to acquire and a must to practice is how to maintain calmness of mind. I know there are lots of factors that could help to become successful in trading and that was important to know how to manage ourselves in times of difficulties and crises. I have tested this.

That is we called volatility, all crypto have that kind of market features and it never changes the looks of Bitcoin. But this is not the only thing to say that Bitcoin had never changed but OP is pointing out how the hardfork affects the marker position for Bitcoin. Eventually, there is nothing and that hardfork even tells that Bitcoin remains to be the king among crypto. And that also tells that Bitcoin is a unique coin created, nothing could ever be compared to.

Due to a tricky market, even you are an expert trader, and even you are applying all the best strategy you have but still you can't avoid losing, only you can prevent it. Losing is a part of being a trader and all of us have suffered it coz in the first place, we are not totally perfect.
What OP is that mentioning about being not greedy and agree with that but not a way to say that we can escape from losing.

Nah, Its not Bull effect but it is halving effect. And yet, it wasn't considered enough to say that we are on the bullish already.
Lately, we saw some pumps but have to warn the community to prepared for a market correction. Things will go in and out as usual.

It is more than that, it surprising. You can't tell its direction until you have experienced it. That is why everything went into just speculations coz we really don't know. And we don't need to push ourselves to believe that Bullrun will come quickly after halving because it is not like that.

Supposedly it is. And OP could just have a shortlist of those projects.
Having this list is no sense at all, they are all shit, and for sure investors will not slip into them. Hundreds of bounty passed by and even we saw a few of them succeed during their ICO/IEO but it is wondering why they don't even stay known to the market, in fact, their price still almost nothing the same thing as what it happens to many scam projects.

As I believe so seeing OP's reply to @thecodebear...

And I believe he realizes and corrected his mistakes. People have this kind of appreciation will certainly be going far from his position today. He keeps asking, he keeps learning, and that is a thing it needs to build in order to achieve our goal.

It is all on the list and I hope newcomers will take some time to review these things before deciding to risk their money. It is a must to know also what would probably be the consequences we get in here knowing that the risk is high compared to the other form of investment and that is why we should be prepared for anything it cost. We can't neglect this thing to happen in real life and that we think of easy money and fast ROI, it should have to change.

If you are looking for stable coins there is no other than great and it is only USDT.  But I have to ask a question first, why you want stable coin/s?
Because for the fact that stable coin/s won't make you profitable than those volatile coins just like  Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the rest. If you are looking at this thing (profit), of course, I will invest these coins rather than to stick my money into no moving value coins.

Having this stable coin is only having the assurance that we can't lose our money and less risk but not good for investment, unless if you are just preserving your money in crypto.

Anonymity makes it more vulnerable to illegality and it gives worries for the government authorities to resolve problems especially when it involves crime. But that is not the reason why they are not encouraging people to adopt the system, it is also because of its volatility feature where people get at high-risk investment. They have some claims and that security level is somewhat a big problem in crypto.

Of course, people will never consider these coins as a thing to compete with Bitcoin. They are still no way to go beyond Bitcoin and even there are so many hard forks coming, it won't affect Bitcoin's demand and market supply. Instead, these coins are still relying on Bitcoin and they are just like altcoins who are following Bitcoin where it goes. But also wondering why these altcoins have an impressive market volume also and we can't deny that they are still performing good.

Nothing has changed, we saw correction oftentimes. NEO isn't different from other altcoins, it is also like in riding a roller coaster, it goes up and definitely it goes back down again. Should we think that it hits for another ATH? Honestly, the chances aren't clear and until Bitcoin isn't in the bullish, we have not thought it to go higher also. For now, NEO is now playing at $10, a little bit low from last week. This is still in the correction phase and I think it will keep on that range until there is no Bitcoin price surge.

I supposed to think that due to lockdown and enhancement community quarantine will help to push people into crypto adoption but, unlikely it was going to see but still adoption isn't that massive. The situation we have isn't giving the only option for crypto alone but to know that some banks are offering credit and debit cards, they'll make a way to consider it more than for Bitcoin.

Nobody could take control of the market, I mean, it is only the price but not the whole thing. Whales make that changes but it doesn't mean that they are fully in control with it. But I was also thinking that because if the said market manipulation it brought something different and the market never it looks fully decentralized one.  The situation is gradually to change, maybe if this said activity will continue, I doubt if we still think about decentralization but taking into account being centralized one which whales will be taking control of it. But I hope it won't happen, unless if we are following what whales say.
