I am on the bounty campaign for goNetwork and I also intend to invest on it. There is plenty of community involvement and it comes from a team that has had previous success in the blockchain arena.

It is very much needed, but I am afraid that whenever it comes it will be simply to ensure tax paying and avoid money laundering but not to ensure proper governance which is what I think is needed after taking part in a few ICOs.

That is pretty much the same reasoning that many people have for investing. You can actually do quite a lot with 300 but it would probably be safer if you played it slow and smart, because trying to just hit the jackpot is likely to end up with 0 balance.

The way those conditions for participation were written should have raised all the red flag warning on anyone who had bothered to read it. I think is on the edge of legality to pretend this was ever a charity.

Probably and it is not the only one. But there is something positive about hype if the team is able to manage it adequately. A strong community can do a lot for you. Some other projects like Quantstamp understood that very well.

Even if the sale was not a smooth one, it seems that the market for digital goods is one to watch in the future. At the end of the day, people are engaged by thing that are fun and social.

It is indeed a new world. I think that it will eventually have certain regulations. At the moment, the only thing that we can do to protect ourselves it to speak out about the teams and companies that cheated so they don´t ever get funding again.

Just for the sake of speculation, any value is possible for Etehreum. I like to think in terms of market caps or total value rather of in price of individual units. The market is now growing and any prediction is valid.

While electroneum gave profit, the ICO itself was not a good experience. The coins got locked for safety reasons and the promise of a mobile wallet was delayed more than a month. The coin could have been a much better success.

I think you just hit the point. Something that is apparently simple, like launching a ICO that is good for all participants, does not have a hidden agenda and safeguards the interests of the investors is rare and thus even when you find one you like you refrain yourself from going full speed to it out of fear.

I would like to recommend two ICOs. The first one is GoNetwork, a great opportunity to participate on a project by a great team. The second one is Ink, co-financed by Y Combinator. If you want to take part on these you need to hurry as it is likely that they will be oversubscribed. Just join the whitelist. For Ink, use www.paywithink.com and referral code "BPRT" if you want. For goNetwork see my signature.

Registrations are now open for the whitelist of the INK PROTOCOL, a company invested in by Y Combinator and other significant players in the tech arena.  This project is a payment protocol for peer-to-peer marketplaces, a multi-million dollar market and has an already existing marketplace that will serve as a quickstarter for adoption.

The link for the project is https://paywithink.com/

As always, please, do your own research. You´ll find out this is a good one and you can catch it in pre-sale. My feeling is that it will be heavily oversubscribed and allocations will be limited to the ones that join early.

I have this referal code that you may want to use in the White List form. That way we get a better tier (better discount).

Referral: BPRT

I do not think there is any wallet out there that suits your needs directly. If i were you, I would definetly try the USB option for cold storage. I assume that you won´t be trading often?

It has been said that some of the larger companies, blue chips and all, have already taken a look into this new way of finance and may have very large ICOs. I think that the best of 2018 has not arrived yet at all.

It is not only that it is difficult to use, it is also that it is extremely dangerous because it executes the orders blindly. Just try sending a sell order with one less zero. It will execute with no warning and you would buy something a x10 the price.

I would say that it affects only US citizens. I work with US exchanges but I am resident in a different jurisdiction, so IRS has no right to impose taxes on me at all. I hope that they also tax shares and funds.

To be honest, I don´t even know any of this coins. If you have some money to invest why don´t you try to be a node of XEM or lease Waves? These are well known and give decent returns and growth.

There are two ways of thinking about this: ether rising faster than bitcoin or bitcoin going down and ether catching up. I know that as today this is a crazy though, but I think bitcoin is going to loose value during 2018 in relative terms and even in absoulte term due to the large ammount of projects built on ethereum.

Oh, I am sure that everyone in here has a recipee, but I would say that Onion and Electroneum could become much better in price than they are at the moment. If you want shitcoins that could, maybe, perhaps become good... try sumocoin or karbowanec.
