The reasons you listed are reason enough to hate it, nuff said. lol

Yeah I would like to hear something too.  Anytime a dev goes silent for an extended period of time people worry.  At least pop in every once in awhile and let everyone know what's going on.

So what's the next big thing on the horizon?  Can we ever hope to reach prices like it was during the big pump?  I'm sure the many bagholders who bought during that time would like some hope.

This coin had so much promise and look at where we are now.  I firmly believe if Polo still had the trollbox around people would've hyped it the way they did BCY and it would've had an epic rise.  As it is now it's dying a slow death with next to zero marketing. 

Icos are killing themselves by the community allowing so much garbage, it's making people in general be wary of them.  If that doesn't stop it then the various governments that are getting upset about them will step in and do something.  Ico's days are numbered.

Learn how to trade, it's a far more effective use of time and money.

1. BTG isn't a major alt, it's any junk coin scam.
2. Bittrex is scamming themselves by all the account they've banned recently and changed all the legacy account to new drastically liimiting withdrawal limits

I wouldn't be surprised if Bittrex goes full scam and runs off with everyone's money soon.

Everything goes in cycles.  Nothing goes up forever and nothing goes down forever.  It will all even out eventually.

Will there be a 2nd wave?  It did seem to go rather quickly.

I'm really surprised this crypto does so little volume.  I mean any mini whale could come along and pump the price sky high if they felt like it.  The fact that it hasn't happened already in its past leads me to believe it will happen at some time in the future.

I hope not, 1 life is already plenty.

Despite what many religions say(those are most likely just complex coping mechanisms), death is likely just like it was before you were born.  Nothing.

Think of our "soul" as a light bulb with a permanet on switch.  When we're born it gets turned on and at some point it breaks and gets turned off.  That light wasn't anywhere before and it doesn't go anywhere after.  The conditions that allowed it to be generated broke down and it's no longer possible to exist.  The human ego makes this scenario difficult for most to accept.  We believe ourselves to be so special, when really we're just slowly rotting meat like every other living thing on this world.

OP didn't even say what coin he was talking about.  Either way it doesn't matter.  Use a lite wallet if available, if not us only an official one.  If it's some sketchy scam coin them use whatever wallet you want but run it in an isolated environment like a virtual machine.

I have about 5 accounts on few exchanges.  It's not like you have to have one on every one.  Most have similar coins.  Get a few on the major exchanges and then get a few on the minor ones which deal with up and coming crap coins that might turn out to not be so crap.

The billion alts that were created before this already did that.  I don't think this new wave is anything new.  The vast majority of them will just die off.

Besides all of the ones that have been mentioned, take a look at Raiblocks(XRB).  It's basically IOTA with more positives before IOTA was a thing.  It hasn't exploded yet but when(not if) it does it should be significant.

There are way too many cryptos now, it's very similar to the dot com bubble of the past.  I would say 90% of these coins have no real purpose and are just cash grabs.  That being said, ride the train and get off before it crashes into the mountain.

It's a pretty good overview of the current running sig campaigns.

Well said, exactly what I was going to say.  Though perhaps not enough time has passed yet to determine whether or not all these recent airdrops will amount to anything.  If you had to judge on first impressions I would say things aren't looking good though.

If it's a bounty then the only thing I care about is if they will actually end up paying me for the work I do.

Zero isn't possible, but it could definitely go lower.  Though I think there is enough interest in the coin for there to be another pump at some point.  A solid long term buy in my book.
