This is the reality nowadays, but I don't know if you agree or not.

As what I have observed since last year, lots of ICO investors are more excited and making some noise when a crypto startup announced that they will be listed in some exchanges.

I have browsed a lot of Telegram groups coming from various ICOs, IEOs and other forms of token sales. When they announce their partnership with a "XXX" company or they have launched their v2.0 of their product, it seems that the community are kind of less impressed and not excited about that.

Last year, there's an ICO where until now, they haven't listed in an exchange as they focused more on product development. It's like almost 2 years and they haven't listed their token yet in exchanges but they only give us a quarterly report on what they're doing with the product. It results for most investors to become impatient and demand their money back or getting listed to exchanges at least.

This is what I've been observing for now, the behavior of most investors who are expecting their returns or gains after the ICO is complete. What do you say guys? Agree with this or not?

It needs to be seen whether the bounce form the block reward halving will occur before the halving date, or after that. In the previous occasions (2012 and 2016), the spike happened after the halving. On the first occasion (2012), there was no spike before the halving and the bull run occurred almost one year after the block reward halving.

The second case was different (in 2016). There was a considerable spike during 2015-16, when the exchange rates rose from $200 per coin to around $900 per coin. However, the major bull run occurred one year after the block reward halving, when the exchange rates rallied from $900 per coin to $20,000 per coin (which remains the ATH for Bitcoin till now).

I haven't been trading my bitcoins and cryptos since this year begins, but I have noticed that the hype train is slowing down since then, compared to last year. I want some honest opinion about the future outlook of BTC or crypto per se. Should investors invest in it ?

As more and more investors join this sector, a question everyone should be asking themselves is: "What happens to my crypto if I was to die unexpectedly soon?"

I understand the thought of this is depressing, but it is inevitable and the only thing that matters is whether you prepared for it or not. Most of us have enough money in this game to start preparing for this in order to prevent it from going to waste.

If you haven't planned around this, or even thought about it yet, I recommend investigating the few options below:

1) Include all your wallets and passwords/seeds in your will. Make sure you include instructions on how to access your funds as well as giving these to someone not familiar with crypto will be just as useless as not even including them in your will.

2) Along with the will, teach the closest person in your life how to access your funds. Whether this is your significant other, family member, or really close friend, make sure someone understands how to access a wallet and transfer/sell the funds. Just like how you should be researching projects before you invest in it, make sure you choose who you share your secrets with carefully.

3) Take a look at Safe Haven. Safe Haven is building an Inheritance Platform that will allow you to do everything above, but with a legal entity that understands crypto and will make sure your funds get in the right hands. Not only will you reassured that your funds are secured and inheritable, but you will also be increasing the adoption of crypto yourself, outside of just investing into it.

So no matter what you are invested in, if it is a large amount of money, I recommend you begin thinking about the future. Crypto is very complex and requires a lot of time to make it fully inheritable, so please make sure you take the appropriate safeguards and steps in doing this correctly.

Bitcoin is a universal currency which is easily available for anyone around the world. It's the only true global currency and whenever people find it hard to believe in their own currency, bitcoin would always come to rescue. Bitcoin is independent of ponzi created by the IMF. Let the whole world trade in and out with bitcoin ditching fiat for once and all.

China’s economy is not immune to the woes that are creeping into Western ones. It has long been a nation of savers but increasing household debt and more banking bailouts are signaling stormy economic weather ahead. Will bitcoin be the savior when the big crunch comes?

Join a bounty, register to their article making (if they do have one), you don't to make 10 articles but you just have to make one or two, wait for the end of the ICO and you'll earn plenty of dollars (in cryptocurrency), if you get lucky, you know, there is a lot of bounties nowadays that are scams in the end, or will require KYC in the end which you'll need to meet the requirements in order to get your bounty.

It's too hassle but if you are not sensitive on submitting your personal information on strangers, go ahead, it's worth it, I guess.

What are the things differ from mindset of common man with investor,please share your thoughts.

IMO,investors never want to take loans for their consumption like home loan,car loan,etc then just save money and will buy the things for their needs but common man like you and me will buy the things immediately when we get the desire of it using loans but we are paying 20% of interest to those kind of loans.

Is the service and profitability, even if bitcoin is highly volatile, are the only two reasons why bitcoin is attractive to investors? Any good opinions or answers? Thanks

Have you heard of ICOs with multiple rounds? Like they raise a certain amount of money now, use that money for primary aims and goals, and then a few months/years down the line (as part of their original plan) launch a second round to fund additional goals and further project development? Just wondering if this is a thing, if so please provide me with some links to projects that have done so.

if you invest in bitcoin from now on in my opinion it will not be guaranteed in the future what it will be,
I'm not saying if it's too late, but I hope you have a strategy for this

For me to have saved that amount of BTC means it's either I'm single, living in a top country or I have another job I am doing.
Here are possible things I can do with 60BTC.
- Build a gambling site: cost of building a gambling site with nice interface won't cost more than 10,000$. Then I will put 10 BTC as a reserve in the bankroll
- Buy altcoins: we all know investing in crypto currency is very risky. So here is what I will do, I will set aside 20BTC and invest it on 20 different altcoins.
- Staking: we have a lot of exchanges and platforms with good returns for staking part of them is Nexo, Cobo, Binance and so on.


The amount I would set aside on for spending on myself won't be more than 2BTC. I know I worked for it, that does not mean I should spend it foolishly.

For people who already have a long experience in the world of trading, daily trading is profitable because it can get profits quickly. But for people who do not have the ability to analyze market movements, long term hold is the best choice because the potential for crypto in the future must be good

Selling or buying investments ?
As a bitcoin trader the hardest decision that we can ever take is , selling our beloved cryptocurrency and this is preety hard because of :-

1.   Our emotions
2.   Our lack of knowledge
3.   Hope !

Well you all can relate to the fact that whenever we are into selling something, we take hasty decisions, generally if the price is falling and we lack patience and even if we are scared that this can go worse in the future we generally sell and then regret moments later when we see it climbing ladder.
Even if the price is going great and its increasing we generally tend to regret if we sell it and the price continues to grow.
This is really hard once our emotions are involved with our investments.
I think that the best thing we can do is separate our emotions with our investments. We should kind of make a pact to never regret any decision that we ever made because in the words of Victoria Holt “never regret, if it was good , its wonderful and if its bad, its experience.”
I think what’s important is taking into account every single detail in the market regarding our investment and at the same time emotionally detaching our minds and making stable decisions and that’s what makes a investor successful.
Also someone has truly said “the investment market takes money from the hasty one and gives it to the patient one”

there are many reason, most people use bitcoin for trading and get profit, some people use for transaction (buy and pay using BTC).
some people buy and hold it for longterm, but i think it not worth it if you just hold in little amount, say it if you buy with 100$ -500$, and hold it for 2 or 3 years and lets say you got 3x profit with investing 100$ and make 300$ for 3 years it not worth.

You cant avoid it. If it will happen it will happen. You cant do anything about it not to happen. What you can so it to use it in your advantage. You can do that to store your wealth into some liquid asset that will not lose value now. In past that was Gold. Then when prices fall most you use that Gold to buy whatever is there to buy.  Of course you can fail at doing so. Maybe crisis will never come, maybe will only come in many years from now and you will buy Gold to early. Maybe you will start spending gold to early since crisis will be much deeper as you expected. Maybe you will start spending your Gold to late since crisis will be much weaker as you expected. This reminds me of day trading in crypto.

This is the reality nowadays, but I don't know if you agree or not.

When we hear about Africa most of us assume about the poverty or unemployment but honestly the kind of natural minerals they reserve they could be one of the richest nation but the problem over there is that neither government nor the citizens get benefited by their natural reserves due to warlords occupying it but do you think if government takes stern step and utilize the resource in the appropriate way and accepts bitcoin as a payment mode for exports then Africa can bloom again and this will help bitcoin if those products can be purchased using bitcoin so it will increase the trade which will benefit them in their GDP and will increase the demand for bitcoin thus triggering the price pump.

Well, opinions differ. To me, Ethereum is extremely fit to hold for the future. My reason is because the team keeps up with development and means to advance the Ethereum blockchain (switching to POS algorithm for instance is a hard nut to crack per say, but they embarked on it).  The altcoins that won't stand the test of time obviously are those with an inexperienced or incapable team or team with scam motives who are just in for the money.
