Ark brands themselves as the platform for consumer adoption. What stands out for Ark is basically their attempt to bring the SmartBridge technology to life. Think of it as a technology that links blockchains together, i.e. Ethereum with Steem with BitShares and so on.

And I bought OKCash because it is a community-centered coin. They have a very active Discord group which was how I first heard of it. You can gamble or even tip others on that Discord chat group. Pretty awesome eh?

They are also looking to enter the gaming market or those relating to entertainment.

OKCash allows you to create improvements on the token as it’s all publicly available. Whether it succeeds or not depends on the community itself. Too soon to find out.

What these two currencies have in common is that first, they have a very active community in discord and telegram and secondly I see that technically it is possible what they are proposing, these two can be your guides when choosing some altcoin to invest.

I think NEO has a lot of very boring potential that's flying under a lot of people's noses, and I mean that in the best way possible. While dapps and stuff like that are extremely cool, the fact that business is already being formed to help write smart contracts for companies makes me believe in the real, tangible value that NEO will hit the ground running within the very near future. That, and the fact that while everybody's talking about NEO and China, Da's excited about the European market, and I don't think that's been priced in at all yet.

The only thing you wallet actually holds as its own and can sign transfer of directly is Ethers. ERC20 tokens are owned by their respective smart contracts and your wallet merely has the ability to move a certain portion of those around by ASKING their contracts to move it. Therefore, your address doesn't OWN any tokens, the tokens are ASSIGNED to your address by the contract granting you the ability to move them (but only the contract can move them on your behalf).

usually when a project does free airdrops they will distribute so many that their value will fall in the launch, if you really have faith in the project, the team and what it means for you, you can hodl to see if the price goes up, but usually it is better to sell everything before the launch price goes down.

It depends on what you need and what you see as profitable, it is always good to diversify your portfolio, I would invest a good sum in bitcoin (it won't go anywhere) and eth (smart contracts) and I would choose some currency with a future like NEO, monero or litecoin and I would see new income opportunities with other altcoins.

I know if the stock market takes a huge hit, in turn crypto usually does too. But at the same time, how much can the US affect the crypto market? It is not primarily a US based crypto market. I’d say a small portion is because of the US.

Yes, in time it probably will. Right now its the biggest player in town and everyone that talks about cryptos will talk about Bitcoin in the first place. Ethereum is 2nd best known. The rest you only get to know about once you dive into this crazy world.

But having said that, Bitcoin is suffering from politics that has now resulted in a chain split. Try explaining to people which is the ' right' bitcoin. Or think about the number of scams that will pop up once everyone will try to get a piece of the crypto's. Bitcoin clones in name everywhere. (it may not even be actual blockchain assets, just numbers on a webpage. Your average person will not realize something is off). This will hurt the bitcoin brand, and can possibly lead to no one trusting the name bitcoin anymore.

Then there is utility, ease of use and integration into PoS systems. If Bitcoin cannot guarantee 3-second transaction and confirmation, ready to be used PoS software and completely obfuscate the whole 'blockchain' part (Hashed addresses, seeds etc), it will not achieve large penetration and use in retail.

I think bitcoin has become just another coin following the BCH/BTC split, and for now, only has its first mover advantage. Others are lined up with better specs and that are better suited for the different purposes.

Think of everything that's happening now as negotiating the value of Bitcoin. The world doesn't quite know what this thing is yet, and as it's adopted, the market recognizes the value.

By the time we're using it as a widely adopted currency, there will be stabilization. Thinking of it as an alternative currency and not an investment is a state of mind at the moment, and a good one to have. But at the moment we're riding the wave of the world slowly catching on to BTC. The exponential growth and dramatic fluctuation has an end point.

We just don't know when that end point is. And in the meantime, the road there is making a lot of people a lot of money.

Ethereum and all the 1st gen Dapps will be THE showcase for what blockchain is, can do and how it can change the world. Blockchain 3.0 projects might challenge this status eventually but not yet. The delays in projects like Augur, Golem and IPFS have shown that it´s quite complex to build a solid and secure Dapp. It´s safe to extrapolate that Blockchain 3.0 networks and their respective Dapps will face the same hurdles and not be ready to have a significant impact before 2019.

Probably just going to hold at this point. I've already cashed out my original investment months ago. Playing with house money now makes me not get shaken during these sell offs. If BTC does in fact go under $6k, I'll just reload the stack

Not a huge difference. The price from ICO has historically been 2-5% lower than market when the period ends, though some periods end up more expensive than market so honestly it is a gamble.

Lots of factors to consider. How much you are purchasing, is it short-term/long-term, what markets do you have access to, etc.

for now I'm holding DCR, STEEM, BTX and several other alts. It wouldn't surprise me to pull a 5-10x on 2019. They're going quite well with the roadmap and devs are really transparent with the community. VTC is a good pic as well!

Litecoin (LTC) - Bitcoin backup
Ethereum (ETH) - Smart Contracts
Vertcoin (VTC) - ASIC Resistant (CPU & GPU mining only)
Monero (XMR) - Private/Anonymous/Untraceable
Dash (DASH) - Masternode Governance model and a percent of mined coins continually set aside as a Budget that anyone can propose work to do and the governance votes on proposals and the direction of the coin
BiblePay (BBP) - fork of DASH, is ASIC Resistant like Vertcoin (CPU Only mining) and 10% of mined coins will always go to Charity, the project is already sponsoring 175+ orphans monthly through the charity Compassion International

they are called intrusive thought and is an unwelcome involuntary thought, image, or unpleasant idea that may become an obsession, is upsetting or distressing, and can feel difficult to manage or eliminate. When such thoughts are associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), and sometimes attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, the thoughts may become paralyzing, anxiety-provoking, or persistent. Intrusive thoughts may also be associated with episodic memory, unwanted worries or memories from OCD, posttraumatic stress disorder, other anxiety disorders, eating disorders, or psychosis. Intrusive thoughts, urges, and images are of inappropriate things at inappropriate times, and generally have aggressive, sexual, or blasphemous themes.

It would be dangerous to implement KYC in the bounties to come, besides many of the rewards are so low that they don't deserve your data, it would add a tedious step that would keep many people away. The only people you could ask for KYC would be the investors, to try to keep an accountability

TL: DL Yes.

But first, you have to evaluate the different factors to invest in a new ICO
the concept
the team behind
the whitepaper
Overview and Executive Summary;
Market research and analysis;
Product details and summarised architecture;
Roadmap and Financial forecast;
Structure of token offering.
It is very important that the whitepaper is proofread carefully and any particular questions are directed at the team’s management.

with this knowledge at hand, you gonna stop losing 300% of your investment (lol)

you can always think that way and live full of regrets (and not only in the cryptocurrencies field), but you can also think about the millions of dollars invested in coins that were not successful and their value is now almost non-existent, so you can get peace of mind just investing a little in each currency that you see interesting and if you have success keep investing until you feel confident about your investment.

sometimes, things change, life can't be beautiful all the time but when it is, we have to appreciate it

lol i don't want to have children and the planet isn't in so critical state for now
