So that's why Ripple is growing! American Express is a very old company, so I guess it's strong if it lived through all the times. Interesting, though, that ripple is traded to krw mostly, not to dollar. I guess Koreans take more care on what will happen with ripple in USA than Americans. With such big news ripple could go very high, right? 2x, 3x? What do you think? 5x is too much to be reached in a short period of time IMO. I'll buy some ripple straightaway.

The idea of getting answers from ICO teams sounds great and it's cool you already have so many projects that are in touch with you. Yet I don't understand what is it that you gain here? Chatbot is free, right? And I don't think that out of being popular among ico investors you could get money for some advertising or something, because not many people are into icos in general. I can see you have a link for investors into your project, though, but I guess it's about investors in icos saving time.

I used to gamble with btc a bit but that was a long time ago, when the problem with transaction speed was not around. I think dogecoin is great in gambling, even though it wasn't designed specifically for it. Doge is fast, safe and cheap. As for coins really made for gambling - I find vslice token interesting (not sure whether they loweved the min bet fee yet, though), because it works on smart contract technology (so, scam-free) and I guess it's a pos token, or something, because people who use it get some more as a reward for having some.

You mentioned bitcoin cash and dash. Both were pumped on bithumb by South Koreans (it's no secret, just look at the markets and currency pairs on trading). Ripple is already +19% traded mostly in btc/krw pair, I think it can go another 30% up in the nearest future. Qtum seems to be going up as well.
As for other coins, IOTA is finally starting to grow and perhaps this will continue and we'll see 1.5x of what we see now soon. Lisk also looks like at the start of a big rush.

Yes, people somehow get convinced by scammers that private keys are needed to send the money but it's obvious they are not. Another scam scheme was used by litecoin classic stated by the op. They asked people to send them some coins in advance to receive a lot more in the future. More sophisticated scamming can be done by sending e-mails which look a lot like legit ones, but say that from now on to access the wallet you need to log in on an upgraded website version or something. Then they see the password you enter on their fake copy and re-enter it on the real website and withdraw the money. I would say it's best for newbies not to join airdrops at all not to get scammed.

Why call it dead already? I guess we can agree that the project's idea was great and the team seemed rather apt. For some reason they don't have normal price as well as official number of coins circulating. I guess the game via which mining is supposed to be happening is just not there yet. I see some videos on what it's like, so maybe it is available, though. Anyway, I think the project needs time. Maybe they're just facing some problems for now, but will recover and prove being worth something a bit later.

I bought IOTA some months ago at about the price we have right now in dollars on coinmarketcap. However, just like the op, I am very enthusiastic about this coin, so I'm not going to sell it till it goes 200x or so. I believe that it is possible with iota and only iota, because it is really different from EVERY OTHER COIN there is on the market. Tangle technology might have serious problems for now, but its potential is very high, since it actually solves the basic blockchain problems of block size limit, transaction fee growth and operational speed.

What the hell is litecoin classic? I thought 'classic' coins are usually those that are dumped after the chain split during hard fork, no? I remember litecoin going segwit but no split occured then. The news I found o  it is also about the risk of split which was before segwit. Other mentions of it sound tricky to me. It is not stated on coinmarketcap as well. I guess it's traded on Nova Exchange, though. I suggest to sell rightaway.

I think that installing a new wallet is really inconvenient but that's surely not the most serious point. I think that in case a coin is good and trusted (Dash, litecoin, ethereum, ZCash) I would go for a coin. Especially if it is generally cheaper like the op stated. Yet if the coin is new then it's better to use a token on a trusted coin, because I guess it's more dependent on the coin itself and at least it's easier to transfer between them, right?

You all remember what happened a couple of days ago with bitcoin cash, right? It went +150% up, was #2 in coinmarketcap and  people started saying the usual that it's the new bitcoin and all that. Anyway, I took a look at the markets and found out that 70% of bch trading volume was traded in pair bch/krw. So, it were South Koreans who became so interested in the coin and pumped it so hard. How did they manage to operate with more than a billion of dollars and why did they pump the coin so much? A bit later they pumped Dash from $400 to $500 but it wasn't significant after bch, so people didn't even discuss that.
Could you give me the links to some news on why South Korea is so keen on bch, whether there was something related to the government in that and how powerful they are as a country in mining and trading? I didn't find any explanations of what we've seen with bch yet on the Internet, did you?

I think such factors can't really determine the growth of the price. What can is: governmental bans, making lots of coins go down; new fork getting prepared - currencies go up; and, the last one, even though it doesn't help much: Bithumb trading to KRW, whose pump of bitcoin cash was truly historical. For instance, they are now trading ethereum classic (10% trading volume) and it's 10% up. Maybe they'll pump this coin rather hard in the nearest future. We can't know why South Koreans do that anyway, so I guess we just have to keep track on this: https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/bithumb/

As said above, airdrop is about getting some free coins before the currency is officially released. It is done to advertise the coin and attract attention. Yet there probably are cases of airdrop scams when organizers ask you to send them your private keys to the wallet (say, eth wallet) and they just make you lose money. Another scam way is about sending some coins to ensure them that you own them and then they are supposed to send you a lot more back but they don't. I think money is free very rarely, so if you're not good at understanding some safety measurements needed not to get scammed - avoid airdrops.

I think it's best not to make ads on an ico which  doesn't have whitepaper yet. This may give bad impression and people won't be in the mood to take another look at the project later. Whitepaper is already there, though, so it doesn't relate to this project anymore. I have a question: it is said that nuls divides blockchain into modules that work on their own and ignore changes in other modules and what benefit does it give this way? And official 20% for dev team and no mining opportunities don't look good to me, because it feels like there's no real decentralization here.

The idea seems nice and it would be great if only it was original and that's not the case. It is hard for me to find the project I have seen before, but the idea was to pay potential buyers of some goods for advice on how to improve the products. Thus, I believe, this ICO might not be so cool. What is good about them, though, is dev team, the fact that there're already some investors for this project and that CEO is an expert on crowdfunding.  So, overall, maybe it does have chances. I don't know about any other ongoing good icos anyway.

I don't believe in such things as profit calculators. The coin is unstable, as was stated above and, what's more, some factors are ignored, such as the miner's price and additional expenses on breaking details, extra coolers etc. I think btg is not worth our attention. The coin doesn't even have it's stable supply, so we can see "?' on coinmarketcap.
Maybe, though, if you can mine btg on a miner you've already bought before and money for which you have already returned by mining something else, btg can be good right now as a short-term opportunity.

I thought ICOs tend to have min investment sums which are higher than the one op wants to spend. And ICOs are risky, by the way.
OP, if you want to keep your investment safe and don't care about the time it will take to get profit a lot - buy some btc and that's it. If you are willing to try luck on very fast profits - invest in Dash, I think South Koreans (who pumped bch today) are starting to pump it <b> right now </b>. Of course, buy the coin on bithumb and keep there for 10-20 hours and then sell. Even if the coin is not getting pumped today, it is not that bad and at least you are unlikely to lose money. Current price is $400 which is good to start buying. Good luck!

Dash has this feature of untrackable transactions which makes it anonymous and interesting for those who don't think btc pseudo-anonymity is enough. Transactions are instant and fees are considered low. As for trading, it is interesting to note that Dash grew once from $200 to $400 thanks to bithumb, the same exchange that made bitcoin cash pump today. If you're thinking I'm paranoiac, take a look at the currencies between which dash is even now mainly traded: dash to KRW! South Koreans pumping the coins again. Who knows, maybe they would even make dash pump +150% in some 10 hours. #2 is Bitfinex, which is also a South Korean market, by the way. I guess there must be some local huge events or news that lead to these things but nobody wrote anything in English yet, so we don't have explanations for now.

Um, the website you're referring to is called fork.lol, even its name doesn't seem reliable enough. Yes, bitcoin cash reached $2500 and its trading volume was a bit bigger than that of bitcoin. Is that a sufficient reason to say bitcoin is dead and greet the new king bitcoin cash? Nope. These minor strives don't make a difference. And it is also important to notice that technically not people around the world acknowledged bch's greatness, it is just people from one single country and you can see it on markets where it's been traded. It is not a real tendency of our times, it's just a minute sparkle that is destined to be gone because of a single drop of water.

The main reason is that the coin wasn't created as something serious and probably that's why it was created suffering from inflation. There's potentially no limit of total supply and thus the number of coins get bigger than the demand which causes price drops. The coin itself is not bad at all and there were certain projects were it was used. I guess people also still use it for gambling purposes. And yet with unlimited supply and no development (nobody's planning any upgrades for it) doge is likely to keep dying slowly and never reach what it previously had, while other old coin have mostly pumped hard.

Bitcoin gold is on very unstable ground. Perhaps it will never become truly known and attractive for investors, so I would avoid this coin at least for now. Bitcoin cash already had it's star time today and I believe from now on the price will be getting down to where it belongs. Bitcoin is still rather down and I would say it can go 15% up in 72 hours, but not more than that. Maybe now is just not the right time for short-term investments.
