Because there is no factor most of the time other than the amount of money that changes hands. That is the truth with ICO rating. There was a time when the ratings that are released by these ICO rating websites are more or less reflecting the real deal of the projects. But then it gradually transformed into a money-making machine that will allow ICOs to bid for the number of stars, the highest spot, or the highest grade.

Here is my question, on the 3,000 trees planted by Energi, how many of them were still alive after one week? After one month? After a year? How many of them grew into a mature tree? Planting is one thing, taking care of it, and seeing the seedling grow into a full tree is another.

Projects such as this is a thing to behold. This is not a selfish project, one that is made for the purpose of profit alone. The main concern about a project such as this is funds as well as sustainability. I would want to know more about tokenomics of such project.

Tether (USDT) is the same Tether (USDT) even if they will move over to Ethereum and will operate from now on as an ERC20. It will continue to be just a coin that is pegged on the USD fiat. There will not be much change to the community's treatment of it also because the fundamental features are virtually unchanged. Everything else basically remains the same.

Poor crypto supporters and traders in the US. They are becoming a hermit country thanks to their government and their agencies such as SEC. They now look primitive as compared to less developed countries but are adapting to the growing technologies.

With only a couple of exchanges left and projects and coins not free to enter into the market, they are now forced to trade all these shitcoins. This is funny. And what is this Gram included in the list? Is this a fake GRAM of Telegram which the US has just blocked?

I don't agree. The biggest issues are certainly not postponed releases or bad exchange listings. Those two are not even within the ICO period anymore. The biggest issues when it comes to ICO are that most of them are scams, the others are copies only of existing projects, the others are not within quality level. And more than this, most of them failed or are gone after the ICO ends, some after the coins are listed to exchanges. There are no more active developers nor product improvements or releases.

Cryptocurrency users use crypto mixers to cut the tracks of your crypto transactions or coins. They are basically designed to improve crypto anonymity. Without mixers, crypto transactions could be traced. The blockchain presents all the transactions to the public. Everyone can view the movement of a certain coin, which address it came from and where it goes, and then moved again to another one, and so on. With a mixer, it is given a dead end.

The last time I heard that 'last time' phrase was before Bitcoin hovered for a long time over $10,000 and even rose above that. They say, it was the last time Bitcoin will ever touch that 4-digit price. I was happy with them. I was also hoping they were right. And yet here were are at $8,000, just fresh from $7,000. Funny how people are bullish when the price is not. And who would have imagined that Bitcoin would touch $3,000 once again when it already reached $20,000?

Most of the time, a predicted bull run is really a wishful thinking. People are just too eager for their Bitcoin value to increase rapidly. They want to make money as quick as possible. But in all fairness, there are also times when the bull run which is anticipated or happening is something that has a sound fundamentals basis. Bitcoin halving for example is one reason for that. Or a large country opening its doors for crypto payments. These are reasons that might cause a bull run. 

If you are interested to buy exchange tokens, why choose catex token? Is there any convincing reason? I mean, there are other tokens out there from other exchanges that are far more trusted. For example, you have Binance or Kucoin and others. I cannot find a good reason why catex token is going to be my choice. The exchange itself is reporting fake numbers in their trading volume. 

It is therefore a bait. And it was a nicely-designed one at that. They deserve a thumbs up for their cunning ways of luring people into undergoing KYC. However, it is still a bait and people should not be led by that. Thank you for letting us all know. I was actually a shapeshift user before when there was no account and KYC requirements yet, but when they started calling for their users to create an account and pass KYC, I left their services.

In both cases you are actually purchasing the token from exchanges, even if you buy during or after the IEO. If there are only a couple of options given, either to invest during the IEO or buy the token after the IEO, I would choose after the IEO when there is already dumping. But then of course it highly depends on the project you are investing into. If the project is really huge and promising, I would not miss buying it during the IEO. But if the project is just one of the rest, I will wait for the IEO to finish.

I cannot say the exact percentage but it is also near the percentage of your Bitcoin in your portfolio. I am sure it is over 50%. I also have more than 10 altcoins. The rest I do not count anymore and even list in my blockfolio because they are already worth less than or around 1$. That means they are not mine anymore. The moment I move them, they will just perish away by way of transaction fee.

Was there ever a time when there is unity among men? There was none. Even in the smallest unit of the society, inside the family, there is not even unity. How can we envision it to a larger scale as to the entire world? This is not going to happen at all. Unity is only a concept. That is something we cannot find in the hard world. If there is unity, there would not have been wars, colonization, poverty, discrimination, injustice, and so on.

What is this thread all about? Where were you these past several days, weeks, and months? Were you in your hole hibernating? I mean, this issue was already explosive for weeks and even before that when the project started to hit the news. Have you not read a single news about it, or at least a thread here?

Libra is not available at all and it may not be made available in the next year. They are still under investigation. A lot of lobbying and negotiations are still happening until now. It will not be number 1 because Bitcoin will always be holding that number and because it is not the cryptocurrency that people want.

More than half of the ones which ended up successful would have all failed to even gain a single trust from someone like that. They need to convince in much more ways than what they actually did during their ICO. Most ICO investors would only look for a factor or two before they decide to invest. Most of the time, a CEO or a president that has experience with the likes of Google or Microsoft is enough reason for them to invest. In a crowdfunding, the game is different. For sure, only the best will gain the money.

This is quite a prophetic TA. I am amazed. And I very seldom am amazed when it comes to TAs. Many of them are failing their predictions. But not this one, so far, although I am seeing in the charts that instead of Bitcoin pushing through with the rising line and creating a double digit growth before going into correction, it has already bumped into something hard even before it hit $8,300. I hope to see $9,000 though very soon.

This is obviously a work in progress so I am expecting that the UI is still going to be improved a lot more. UX is impossible to give or to try since the site, as already pointed out by the previous posters, does not offer much leeway to the tester or visitor. One has to sign up to know how it feels to use the site. The pairs are exciting to me. They are not the typical crypto pairs. I think it would help if this is going to be posted on the exchange section as well.

You are bringing the discussion into an unnecessary point. The two are talking about the possible correlation between inflation and the country being underdeveloped. And here you are immediately jumping into these countries needing to invest in Bitcoin. This is a huge leap into a different idea.

Well, inflation does not necessarily be the thing of the poor countries only. It is just that when there is inflation in these countries the effect is worse because even before the inflation arrives the people are already having a hard time making ends meet. So when the inflation comes in, things are getting more and more unbearable. Unlike in richer countries, inflation is still present but since they have a high standard of living, they can contain it to a certain extent that they are not going to lose food on the table due to it.   

Interesting how fear can also drive this powerful institution now to act in a different way. The thing that they are criticizing is the very thing that drives them into the area they equally criticized in the past. And now they are also entering into the arena. This must be the chilling fear inside them that let them finally deciding to join the club. Welcome to the digital world, where the rules are different and where you are probably going to be defeated.

Instead of selling at a loss to prevent more losses, one could instead buy more so that by the time the price changes direction, you will have more profit. And one more thing, a loss in terms of USD price value is not really a loss. It is just the price moving. But if you decide to sell, then that is what loss means. That cannot be recovering its price anymore because you are already selling it at a cheaper one.
