It does.
After ICO, the investors starts expecting profit while bounty participants and early bonus investors can't keep up there patience and sell for whatever profit they have and the coin goes into a lower stable price.
After some workout, the project starts it's product or service than again the price gets a boost and the long holders are rewarded for their patience.

Waves is growing in price but I don't find any interesting characteristics in this platform to displace the likes of ETH, EOS, NEM and NEO.
Waves was one of the oldest infrastructure project but had lost its shot by far.

We are seeing masternodes as a good alternative to mining. Energy efficient and quicker.
Most of the successful newer coins are masternode based and very few mineable coins.
Casper, POS or whatever name they might give, ETH too seems to be moving towards a completely masternode transaction.
So, is the masternode future of cryptocurrency?

There are two cases that defies our understanding.
1. Scam ICO looks even better than real ICOs, great team of advisers and advertisers. Money can buy anything.
2. The label scam is very difficult to use. Real ICOs are having their coins below ICO price for years and some Scam ICOs made their initial investors rich.(of course on expense of later investors)

EOS is fast, on transaction as well as on development and problem solving on the expanse of it's centralized network controlled by a few or a single organization.
EOS is a full package, they call themselves a decentralized operating system and are made in order to lift over the limitations of ETH.
So being a student of ETH, EOS has better prospects but again EOS is hugely depended on the EOS team.

The price generally may have a difference of upto 1-2%. The price shown is the price of the last transaction which in return depends on the sell wall, order wall and the volume.
The large difference comes as a result of suspended deposit or withdrawal for the particular coin in the specific exchange.

Anyway, won my bet within 23 minutes of gameplay.
That particular bet seemed an easy one and the odds were great.
First bet on World cup success with 5.18 odds.

The tokens first rest in my usual personal address whose private key is saved with me.
If I intend to hold the token for a long term, I transfer them to a dedicated address with private key.
If I intend to trade them, I transfer them to my exchange wallet.
I use the private keys in myetherwallet for sending purpose while I also use it in metamask for decentralized trading.

Infrastructure projects are a slow start but a risk free high profit scheme.
Unlike services and technical startups, Infrastructural project would require some months or even years to start a profitable business.
But when they do, they have minimum operational cost and long term sustainable profit.

Didn't found a discussion thread dedicated to the World Cup, so made it.

Todays Match
Match 1: Uruguay 1 - 0 Egypt Full time
Match 2: Morocco vs Iran
Match 3: Portugal vs Spain

My only bet for today is Portugal and Spain both score in first half. Odds 5.18.

I'd like to add one more. wbet7.com
They have similar odds to the popular betting site and they accept many payment options without verification. Namely Bitcoin, Eth, ETC, Bitcoincash, Litecoin, Dash, Dogecoin, monacoin, Vertcoin as well as perfect money.

I personally like betting with dogecoin as it's easier to calculate and transaction cost is lowest.

Reserving Hindi (Indian) translation if needed.

Tiny nation of Bahrain becomes the first Arab nation to give a regulatory sandbox license to the operator of Palmex, a Dubai-based (Not in Bahrain) cryptocurrency exchange. This would certainly make things favourable in Arab and other nations are likely to follow the move.

You are correct. We are just in primary phase with new technologies coming out everyday, new coins being issued everyday.
As the technology matures, surely we would have distinction between them on the basis of their use and nature.

From the experience of last couple of years, if you mean to get profit, you should know when to buy and when to hold. Just holding for long time won't make you rich. What now be bought by 1$ can't be done by 2$ after 10 years.

If you are expecting for a place to look and directly invest on ICO than their are many options but all are have the same problems, i.e. have limited number of tokens.
For example binance, one of the most popular exchange also has an inbuilt platform to sell ICO.
Cryptonomous in recent time has came up as the largest of them and has an easier to understand GUI.

The best thing about NEX is the cross chain support. i.e. in future they'll too support BTC, ETH and the likes.
It's something difficult to achieve in decentralized exchange.
And you can't just call them a NEO based token as they are planning to have their own platform in the future.

It's an advertisement.
The celebrities gets paid to endorse and that does not reflect the personal involvement of them in the project.
Though you can deduct that any Cryptocurrency capable of paying celebrities to endorse are either a big project or a huge scam.
Smaller scams and smaller projects can't afford it.

Glad to see Wbet7 have similar odds to popular bitcoin gambling sites.
The only downside I noticed is it doesn't have a bet for world cup winning team or the golden boot wining player.
Otherwise the odds are good and the payment options are best in the market. I prefer betting with dogecoin and Perfect Money and I can have both in Wbet7.

It was supposed to do it in a better way but it doesn't shows the tokens that ethplorer did. For example Helbiz token is shown by Ethplorer.io as a valued token while the github site doesn't do it.
And it gets the Values wrong For example it's calculation of Total USD value is wrong for most of currencies relative to coinmarketcap.
