Looking at the forum for a while now,there have been so much thread about ethereum,fear of what will become of ethereum,some have even lost confidence in ethereum,the founder himself is not helping situation with what he said about the future of ethereum. A newbie will surely have is doubt about eth after reading all this.Do you think all these will have negative effect on Eth when bull run finally come for crypto market?

If you look at the cryptoccurency market situation lately it is very disappointing and even the opinions of observers become divided, some consider this to be common, others consider this situation very dangerous for the development of the crypto world.
The most important question of the condition is whether such market conditions will affect investors, or is this a situation that investors want?

It is hard to predict price but bitcoin as a master can easy go to 12k buy end of this year. I am realistic and not romantic that where i see the price. What price you predict btc will be by end of year.

Hey guys, as o see a lot of people left crypto sphere after dramatic fall in the beginning of 2018. They are traitors who only want to gain profit! If you are real crypto anarchist you should stay with crypto till the end!

The market is down, but still there are a lot of ongoing ICO's.

Almost every day, there's a new ICO (some are scams, another will end up dead, a few will live).

I often check this webstie https://icostats.com/roi-since-ico to see how coins are doing after their ICO.

And to check out the one's that died we have https://deadcoins.com/ .

For upcoming ICO's there are lots of websites, the one's I check are: https://icowatchlist.com/upcoming and https://www.worldcoinindex.com/ico/calendar , https://www.icoalert.com/en/ but there are many more.

It would be better if the information was concentraded on a website / platform, but for now I jump between sites to see how things are going.

And you guy's what do you use to keep up with what's going on  ? Any info to add here ?

Bounties programmes no doubts is one of the avenue of reaping tangible coins to your wallet by signing up to do some task with various bounty campaigns, however,  bounties programmes comes up everyday, with promising projects.
With the ways the campaigns are scheduled you cannot possibly participate in all bounties. How can you now select credible bounties among all the bounties that troop in every day,  what are the criteria you look for before joining a bounty.
I will be impress to learnt credible insight on this from the bounty experts.

Some people say hold your crypto,  some says sell immediately that holding for long is useless.
What do you believe and practice?

Proof-of-Stake systems allow network participants to stake their coins and earn passive income. Are you staking?

Staking is emerging as an essential part of the modern cryptotechnology landscape. It is a great opportunity for anyone both to support consensus infrastructure, as well as to be rewarded for doing so.

Have you heard of Tezos' novel LPoS (Liquid Proof of Stake) system, for instance, in which you can either bake or delegate your XTZ to earn an income?

I haven't joined bounties in 2017 but in 2018. And there is not much in them now.

Alot of bounty hunters saying that this has been the worst year and it was much better in 2017 and the problem is the number of participants has increased big time and because of that there is nothing much left in bounties now.

Is it true ? and if it is then the participants are going to grow even more in the coming years so that means the bounties will drop further. And if this happens then what will be the future of the bounty hunters and with that what will be the future of cryptos ?

Dear bitcoin community,

Because there are no gains without losses, I decided to open this thread in the hope that I could also learn from your mistakes when you chose the wrong coins in which to invest your money.

For example, I invested in December 2017 and I lost my money in following coins:

Bitcoin
Ethereum
Ripple
Bitcoin Cash
Dogecoin
IOTA
NEM

The only coin that brought me profit was NEO.


But what about you? What are the coins in which you lost your money?

I don’t mind that a lot of people are everyday here. Our trying to be rich is clear and the majority of us are ready to make crypto our fulltime job. Of course, it could not be so easy at the beginning but I am sure that the amount of participant on the cryptomarket will be grown so much in the future it just needs in becoming more popular and so many organizations will lose their employees because of crypto. I think that it is the one more reason of crypto’s being banned. Are you ready to give up your job to be here or not?

Bounty hunters have become so useless that they now offer an ICO nothing. All their Facebook friends, Twitter followers, YouTube subscribers, whatever -- its all fake numbers and they always do the bare minimum to promote an ICO. Even ranks on this forum are faked. Merits are bought and sold, accounts can be farmed, purchased, for absolutely no purpose other than to spam this forum with useless information.

And what kind of traffic do they end up driving to an ICO website? Almost nothing. Most bounty campaigns literally have more participants than they will ever receive hits to their website, meaning the average traffic driven to a website by today's bounty hunter is less than 1 visit per month. Again, its because of all the fudged numbers. Everything is faked, nothing is real. There is no quality control whatsoever.

I really don't understand why anybody does social media bounty campaigns any more. Translations, graphic designers, website builders, app developers -- those are the real bounty hunters. Social media bounty hunters are just scum sucking parasites. They root through garbage trying to collect digital specs of nothing, leaving a trail of trash behind them.

Nobody wants to learn a thing about anything -- they just want "free money" as easily as possible, which usually ends up being worthless anyway. Would most of you just be sitting around doing nothing if you didn't consider this to be a means of "employment"? My guess is the answer is "yes." Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Common wisdom for new investors is always of the 'don't put all your eggs in one basket' type. Don't invest all your investment capital in one company. Diversify so that at least if  one investment fails, the other will carry you through. Is there a similar type of advice for crypto currency investors? Is it better to concentrate on investment in just one crypto currency? Or should we diversify? I would love to know what others have to say about this.

Lately there have been many who argue about bounty participants, some argue that the more bounty participants the better the new project will be. and there are also those who argue that bounty participants must be limited so they can avoid the number of dumper when a project is completed.

I have questions
1. How influential is this bounty participant for a new project?
2. If the bounty participant is restricted what will affect the success of a new project?

So after the bearish market came
I've been holding more alts than BTC/ETH

Coins like COSS, NANO, CND and etc
I been making loss and missing out most of the pump because i sell these coins and convert it to ICON (ICX) which i waited it to be move
So basically after everytime i sold my specific alts, few days later it went 100%   

NANO, bought at 0.011 ETH i sold at 0.005 ETH, 7 days later, it went up to 0.013 ETH. Hold for almost 6 months and sold, it went up after 7 days.
Same to NANO, COSS

Everytime i sold, within days to 1/2 week
It pumped like crazy

Just like COSS
Sold off 100k at 28 ETH last week
Today 100k COSS priced at 53 ETH

Holy i been making huge losses in 2018 

I’ve been searching around this forum for a while and see a lot of ANN threads here. But I’m very interested what ICOs and projects really achieved great results. Saying "successful" I don't mean these projects that just going to launch ICO. I mean projects that have already collected money and released product.

For example, this blockchain game. They collected good money and now it’s one of the most popular blockchain game. Here you can read an interview with it’s developer https://gameunculus.io/blog/96 (I don’t send direct link to their website not to make them advertisement) 

And what projects do you know?

Hey guys, I recently earned 1000$ and I don’t know where to invest it. Can you give me some recommendations? How to get profit in this red market.....

We are in the final quarter of the year
Everyone should be at alert now, lots of projects will suddenly collapse, pump and dump,with plans to collect people's btc and ethereum and cash out money for the end of the year
Then they will run away and get away with funds.....

 A word is enough for the wise

Before I go on, let me seize this opportunity to welcome all newbies to the forum. I know whoever told you or where ever you heard about the profits cryptocurrency has to offers must have been centered on the capital gains that result from hodling a particular coin.

Breakdown of capital gain: buy a coin at a low price, hodl for particular period of time and sell it at a higher price. the difference between your buy and sell price is your gross profit which is your capital gain.
Example: buy coinA at $0.1 hold for some period of time, sell when it raises to $1 = 900% gain. Cool right  ? But there's a big disadvantage, this is more of a gamble why? you buy that fav coin of your only hoping for a rise in price what if it doesn't happen, what if you bought at ATH thinking it was a good buy price and coin just keep on dipping. The advice Hodl will start spreading round, don't get deceived most times if it isn't bitcoin it's not worth it.

Earning through Cashflow: can i earn even in the bear market? yes you can do that by investing (buying) coins that pays you dividends for holding their coins in the form of masternode or proof of staking. Let me break it down with an example. You buy a coinA @ $0.1 stake the coin and receive dividends earning you Cashflow even when the market is down and here is the best part, you also earn capital gain at the end of the day.
The choice is left in your hands you can either invest for capital gain only or invest for both Cashflow and capital gain. Investing in this form is at its minimum so it's more profitable.
Feel free to drop your views.

I believe that those of us involved in the field of cryptocurrencies should feel compelled to act in accordance with our ideals and therefore, we should prioritize the accumulation of bitcoins before the accumulation of dollars.

We must always keep in mind that one of the reasons that led to the emergence of cryptocurrencies is the search for alternatives to fiat money, therefore there would be no reason for us to exchange our valuable cryptos for centralized money.
