In the past I often participated in the private sale stage in particular, but now it seems to be more profitable if I participate in IEO on well-known exchanges such as Binance. Projects that interested me are those who can create a new solution to be implemented in our daily lives and continue to make us use it, in other words in the future people can depend on the products they create. However, besides that which is only a concept, I also need tangible proof of the results of their hard work that has been made so far. Their activeness in providing routine updates is one thing that needs attention. Of course we as investors do not want to if they can only plan without doing further. And I always see the background of the team members working on the project, if they have had a lot of experience then my trust in them will also increase.

Few good projects i have seen are having hard time to gather funds, they are still far behind to reaching their target softcap
1. Bitwings
2. EZ365

What do you have in mind about these two project? they are good enough to give a try for me, what do you say?

I would be weary man, word is 2020 could be a dumpfest for TRX : /
Apparently the CEO has like 20 billion getting unlocked and he likes nice suits so expect those coins to see market (imo)
That being said, Tron is like a poor mans ETH, i still think it will pump again, so maybe if your planning on a nice long 5 years hodl its a good time to buy right now
Seems stuck at 0.02$ : / maybe thats a good thing? hmmm

i dont know what happen,please tell me if you know them !!!
I see from time to time now crypto is similar casino online especially the exchange..

To all bounty hunters on this wonderful forum i want to know if its advisable to continue with the bounty you have been promoting for 12weeks that got extra 8weeks added more, have you promote projects this long that ends up with good end results? Thank you

Who is right? Devs or users?

I'm new to Lisk. Thought about investing as I like the idea behind it and as its price is super low. But the more I read about it, the more doubts I have.

It won't be right to blame the ICOs and the IEOs for that. The projects may be operating on a shoe-string budget and they may be unable to afford the huge listing fees. Please remember that the exchange listing fee has gone up astronomically over the past two years. The largest exchanges (such as Huobi and Binance) change millions of USD for a single listing (and that too after very stringent screening). Even mid level exchanges such as Coindeal are charging somewhere around $100,000 now.

My dead crypto is motocoin. It still has some market value, and it is pretty high (0.02$). It is still listed on two exchanges (DigitalPrice and YoBit) but you can't deposit it. I would be happy to sell it even for half the price.

yes it is true that many complain about losing some of their coins after using a new wallet-shaped application. and we all have to be careful to try new things that only utilize how ridiculous we are to try.

There is yet no altcoin that I can confidently hold unto for long, most especially when there is not to get any of them disposed at anytime for liquidation. I was former thinking that ethereum would fill in the gap, but this believe seems to be shaking.

I'd go for my stored altcoins,
ETH, XRP, and BCH.
I already planned it even before, if altcoins will start the bull run at any time, I'll immediately buy these coins. I already provided enough savings for this plan. I can see the potential to these altcoins and I know that I won't regret my decision after buying these altcoins.

There are a lot of ICO projects now, each promising huge profits and benefits for investors, but before we decide to use the money we to invest in ICO projects, we must remember that a lot is certain if between the projects some will fail or even project ico fraud.
If you are interested in joining an ico project, first make sure the website and also a white paper about their project, usually the website and whitepaper they have contains information about the project, and what the goals of the project are. The website and white paper will explain who are the people who are part of the project team, and what their relevant experiences are, a roadmap that explains the project execution plan, their vision and mission.
After that you decide to join or not.

Considering that most people nowadays often find it hard to store and protect their cryptocurrencies, it's best to delegate the responsibility to a middleman. A bank of crypto would fit the bill nicely, as people would be able to secure their cryptocurrencies without ever having to follow the necessary precautions to prevent hacks or theft. As long as the bank of crypto is highly regulated by the government, then it'll be here to stay for a long time. Still though, not everyone will agree to this as it greatly defeats the whole purpose of crypto and Blockchain technology. The idea of a bank providing crypto services would only prove to be viable for newcomers into cryptocurrency. People who're experienced in crypto, wouldn't need this in the first place.

Nonetheless, do you think that a Bank of Crypto will happen anytime soon? If so, why?

I was just going through the ANN Threads and found this ANN on Swirge Project:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5187495.0
Haven't done much research on it. But it looks like the team are adopting the same format as Steemit.com. And the rewards in posting on steemit right now is very down as steem price is down too. So is Swirge.com a new upcoming better alternative? Or just another crappy project  
The new crypto Facebook?

Yes people hate KYC but when it comes to dealing with huge amount of money they don't mind to do the verification, most of them are hating KYC because the uncertainty whether the other party can be trusted or not and if it's a popular exchange that demands the KYC usually they don't mind. Most of the time as I've seen one of factor that makes DEX lacking liquidity is probably the fact that it's kinda complicated to use for some people. Despite offering more security and didn't demand something like KYC people still finds centralized exchange a lot more convenient than DEX but it seems 2020 the DEX will turn the table I'll be waiting aswell.

but, it doesnt continue to decline the price. ethereum increases 2x from low at early 2019. $ 90 to 180$ right now
2x increasing can indicate that the bottom has been passed. we wont be lower that bottom in the future
yeah i know this is still not good as end of 2017, at least it still can increase its price even 2x

I believe that every good lesson starts with a good story and on this note, I want to tell you about the experience I had that made me cautious of "Get rich quick" schemes online especially those pertaining to Cryptocurrencies.

I discovered Bitcoin in early 2013 and although I didn't take it seriously at first, I was earning little money from it doing tasks online (pay for view, faucets and such), I took it more as a hobby and never intended on selling the bitcoin, I just knew in my heart that it would do great so I wanted to accumulate as much as possible without having to spend my money buying it (this was before I got into mining), fast forward to 2015 when the money doubling schemes were everywhere, I kept seeing adverts online and even though I knew better, I decided to invest in one of them (Avabitcoin) with the coins I got from my early days of discovering bitcoin, Avabitcoin was a platform where you invest bitcoin and they supposedly invest it and return profits to you on a daily basis, I decided to take the risk and invested for the first day, got back my money plus 12% profit, and greed overtook me and I did kept doing it for 2 more weeks before they vanished with my funds. I kept going all in even when I had already doubled my money.

If you want to avoid getting scammed online, you just have to follow the following:
Greed: Greed has led a lot of people straight to rekt, like my story above would have told you, I couldn't resist the pull of greed even when I had doubled my funds.

HYIPs: When it looks too good to be true, then it's probably too good to be true, when you see any investments that promise high yield returns, please stay far away from them, when you see genuine projects that offers returns, most of their returns are so low, some of them are average of 10% per annum and it's a wonder that we see platforms offering 10% and above in a day and we gladly jump straight into rekt, like I said, if it sounds too good to be true, then it's too good to be true.

FOMO: If not for the hype that Avabitcoin generated, I would not have invested in it in 2015, learn how to DYOR and avoid what others have to say about projects they seem to support, infact your mindset should be that everybody is trying to rip you off so if you always look at every hyped project with that mindset, you would have a clearer picture of the project without the blindfold of FOMO.

Rushing: Avoid rushing into any investment because you heard it's paying others, one of the virtues of a Cryptocurrency investor is patience, Cryptocurrency investments are high risk investments and you have to treat it like gambling, never invest more than you can afford to lose, never go all in on any project no matter how good it looks.

If you have any similar experience, please kindly share it, it might help others (especially the newbies to avoid being scammed by shady projects out there.

Aside from monetary incentives in crypto, I rarely come across discussions pertaining to why the average enthusiast in crypto is involved with crypto. While the answer may be pretty straightforward, there are some outliers.

Crypto means much more than just monetary incentives, it's essentially a technical revolution that has involved the masses, something you and I can be apart of. Ultimately, that's probably one of my greatest interests for blockchain and crypto. Another big intrigue for me is the evolution of blockchain tech in itself. I've been around for quite sometime and have witnessed the evolution of cryptos, businesses, behaviors and attitudes.

These 2 factors, along with several others, are the reasons I continue to be involved on a community and business level with crypto. It's become a hobby, passion and business for me.

I must say a very big thank you to all forum members because I have learnt a lot from their different opinions however, am still not stable on the part I should actually stick to Trading I ask about most of the responds are discouraging about losing funds high risk and all the rest in Marketing aspect I find out that most of the IEO/ICO turned scam in most cases. The question is I really picked interest in Trading but my intention was to work as marketer/Promoter and get paid in the crypto industry but based on different opinions and some research I can't really tell which of the above will be suitable. I really need opinions here thanks.

The first two are the known and the used ones. What about the third one? I have seen many manipulations and since we are a 7/24 unregulated market, we are more open to manipulations. Which has the more effect on the price? Time to time, I have witnessed that some manipulative moves are occuring right before the technical analysis is pointing some directions. It seems like some people are trying to move the market according to their thougts. There are counter manipulative moves surely but we should take this into account as well.
