Although IOTA is a coin with good potential, but it does not compare to Bitcoin. There are much better coins that can be compared to BTC. Despite the reduction in the value of bitcoin, it will continue to retain its position as the king of other coins and altcoins. I am a holder of IOTA and i am glad i am and will like to hold more because of the good prospects it has.

Cryptocurency cards for tokens are still software based and not all software wallets are as safe as hardware wallets such as trezor. I also read that the company provides three types of cards (Silver, Gold, and Platinum). Does it mean that one is safer than the other? Or please can you shed more light to what makes the cards differ. I also have another question bothering me. How many tokens, i mean different tokens apart from Amon, can it store?

In ethereum blockchain, there is a burn account. It is nearly impossible to generate the private key for this address (0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000) and people can use it as proof-of-burn account on the Ethereum blockchain.
The reason why you see people sending Ether, other tokens to or mining Ether at this account is that people misconfigured their miners and set their coinbase to a wrong value or to 0 which is mapped to the account .

I am never in a haste to sell, it depends on the present state of the token. I usually do what is favourable not to myself alone, but also to other investors. There are some factors i consider before selling any token gotten from bounty.
1. I usually consider the ICO price and i do not sell below the ICO price even if others do.
2. I consider the laid down roadmap of the project. If it has better plans ahead and i trust it to follow the plans, i will hold.
3. If it pumps fast enough, i sell half and keep half.

This is really nice and i think it worth holding unto. This time i feel is the right possible time to hold it. I believe that the project will make a great name. Most especially considering the factors surrounding it. Thanks so much for the video It was interesting and educating. I look forward to getting the coin and keeping it till it moons.

This seems not to be my first time of seeing this project on this forum. I think the promotion on this forum has been for while now and it seems to be a form of repetition and getting too much. Why don't you look for another means of promoting it, if you so wish to, instead of making it to appear too many times.
Notwithstanding, to me, Utemis seems to be a good project.

It is a good development. In order to curb some things, it was announced sometimes ago by the SEC that cryptocurrencies and tokens offered through ICOs are securities. As securities, cryptocurrency exchanges should follow the same rules as every exchange. They should register through the SEC as a national securities exchange, an alternative trading system (ATS) or a broker-dealer.

This is really a great news. I did not know that this has happened for long, no wonder the project is taking a good shape. This makes this project to be a promising one indeed and it shoes that the developing team are industrious. I am even glad that i am participating i this wonderful project. What a great privilege. I look forward to seeing the project at the very top.

Hello manager
What have i done to deserve this sir?
I participated in your bounty since last year, yet no reward.
Please, kindly attend to my request.

The above listed methods are still good in growing one's altcoins, but i will like to explain some of those points.
Investments is like a circular - one who buys an ICO has just invested, another who trades, has also invested and if you decide to hold, it is another form of investment. You just have to be wise on whatever decision you decide to make. Just learn to hold the good one and those with high prospects. Also buy ICOs with care. Make all the necessary findings before buying any.

Right now, it's hard to imagine Bitcoin being knocked from it's number 1 position. But could it happen ? It is hard to fathom it getting beat out any time soon. But this competitive shift doesn’t have to take place in the near future. Of which, it there is no possibility of it taking place. Bitcoin is the king and it will continue to remain as the king.
Nonetheless, there are still other coins that will also keep their heads high. Coins like Ethereum, Litecoin, Monero and few others.
Although, the main competitor of Bitcoin is Ethereum.

I could remember that i also once read it that Walmart and a group of food giants are teaming up with IBM to explore how to apply blockchain technology, also known as distributed ledger tech, to their food supply chains. These companies see blockchains as an opportunity to revamp their data management processes across a complex network that includes farmers, brokers, distributors, processors, retailers, regulators, and consumers.
This will definitely help in fast and easy investigation of food-borne illnesses.

I do not also see it a as a good idea for ICOs to first start their listing on HitBTC. Personally i do not use HitBTC and i think likewise so many people do not always use it, perhaps due to the trading fee.
My assumption is that, these ICOs go for HitBTC probably because they feel HitBTC is a big exchange and that it will give a good hype to their project. Meanwhile volume is an important factor to put into consideration, because if people do not trade that particular token or coin on that exchange, there no how there will be increase in volume.

Holding coins is never a bad idea. The idea of holding coins for profit all depend on what you are holding. Not all coins worth holding for long. It is better you do your research on coins before deciding to hold. I have also made some mistakes in time past and which i think will not be repeated again. It is even good if the values remain the same instead of dropping. Although that is not also a good idea.

What i can deduce generally from what is happening to the dropping of prices of coins and altcoins is that, just of late, some FUD are just bring propagated and this in a way affects the markets. The FUD causes a lot of panic, most especially to the weak hands in cryptocurrency. The whales actually make use of these opportunities to make more purchase, as the prices drop. They later then sell high. So FUD is one of the major factors i have noticed. An example of such is the news going round as regards the banning of some exchanges due to some regulations..

Altcoin is sometimes linked with Bitcoin in trading, where Altcoin is traded against Bitcoins but mainly because it is considered as the most stable. So in a way, Altcoin value may seem pegged to Bitcoin value but you can trade Altcoin with each other entirely independent of Bitcoin. Altcoin can follow and adjust the price due to changes in the price of Bitcoin.
Nontheless, if altcoins that follow the trend of being paired with other currencies. There will be some forms of independencies.

Just few days ago, the market cap of these top coins were higher than what we have now. The same thing as their prices. The question I asked myself was that, what could have resulted into this fall. Could it be as a result of the FUD that was going round? It was brought to our notice that some Korean exchanges were about to be closed down, but none was mentioned specifically. I can't wait to see these coins rise again.

I am highly  inspired by the nature of this project. I can deduce that the dev. of this project has good in tensions and this is one of the reasons why the project is gaining more attentions.

Firstly, i do not know the coin you are advertising. Secondly, is it possible for one to advertise on a platform like this and expect buyers to just risk buying, without the authenticity of not loosing one's money. Nonetheless, kindly state the coin that worth buying at $0.15, despite the present plunge in prices. Thanks for the update.

My own opinion is that first, you have to ask yourself if if are either at loss or in profit at the moment. If you are in profit, you can then consider selling either part or all and if it is otherwise, i would advise that you still hodl, because i believe that with time, the market will get better. We all know that at the moment, the plunge and the rise is a normal thing. Things will get better soon.
