The market is already recovering and am expecting a full turnaround by next month which was my prediction earlier based on my research. The following positive news helped propel this particular reversal:

- Blackrock rumors
- Easing of restrictions on crypto by nations like South Korea etc
- ETF proposal submitted to the SEC(High approval chances)
- Japan improving the capital flow through their exchanges etc

These reasons are enough to help the market reverse from a bear to bull market in my opinion. Stay confident and HODL people.

This is a common occurrence honestly and I would not feel sad about this since I have invested into majority of my coins and tokens for the long term and such short term pumps and dumps do not really bother me too much. It is great to see Bitcoin going back above the $8k mark and am expecting it to go over $10k in August if SEC hands out its approval which is most likely going to happen based on recent reports. The altcoins will recover as time passes which is why it is better to HODL at the moment.

I agree completely. Its way too early to state that the bear market is over. It is obviously great to see Bitcoin rising in value, but it can fall back down just as easily just like it did earlier this year. I feel that the bear market would properly conclude when Bitcoin rises above $10k which could trigger a big bull run just like last year which is why I suggest HODLING all your coins and tokens at the moment.

What are you talking about? Do you truly believe that Ripple is not a cryptocurrency just because some expert states that? The majority of the Ripple investors including me firmly believe that Ripple is a cryptocurrency which has huge potential thanks to its community and real world use cases which is why I am HODLING my stack of Ripple for the long term even though it has fallen in value at the moment. I honestly do not care about the centralization aspect of this coin.

Clickbait title in my opinion. You need to change it to something more appropriate like 'Suggestion for Social media bounties' which would make sense in this case. Coming to the custom posts, you don't really need to be a genius to come up with them since all it takes is a little bit of research even if you are participating in multiple bounty campaigns. This is not big news for me and for many other I wager which is why it is best if you change the title as soon as possible.

This is obviously a great time to invest into Ethereum since it lose a big portion of its value due to the prolonged bear market which has affected the entire market due to which I have already purchased a couple of ETH and am HODLING them for the long term. I firmly believe that Ethereum will reach $1500 by the end of this year and might reach the $2500 by the end of next year based on my research. This is one of the safest coins to invest into at the moment after Bitcoin which is why I highly recommend investing into it.

This is great news. Heard recently that Korea would soften their stance on cryptocurrencies after a particular meeting and I am glad to see them already taking action as announced. This could be one of the reasons why Bitcoin began rallying recently apart from the Blackrock rumor. I am expecting more and more countries to reverse their bans on cryptocurrencies and focus on regulating crypto instead since this is the ideal option for everyone involved in this volatile cryptocurrency market.

I highly doubt that this is a MEW related issue since these kind of things tend to happen now and then and I have experienced them myself a couple of times. MyEtherWallet security is top notch and I always feel safe leaving my coins and tokens in my MEW wallet. Do some research on that particular token itself op and find out if other people also faced the same issue. At the end of the day, you are not losing anything which is why you need to stop panicking.

Excellent post OP. I completely agree with you. One of the biggest tips to reduce losses in this volatile cryptocurrency market is to stop staring at the markets all day long and focus on HODLING instead which seriously helps a lot and reduces the pressure involved with this market. Diversification is another important tip which I always recommend to anyone looking at investing(Avoid over-diversifying though which could cause problems sometimes).

Did you actually expect that you would receive guaranteed profit just because you worked for a long period on a bounty campaign? Do you even realize how risky this market truly is? There is always a chance that the ICO might not reach its soft cap due to which you will receive nothing which is why I always advise investing minimal time and effort which you are willing to lose. Do not ever expect guaranteed profit from any particular bounty campaign in the cryptocurrency market.

I partially agree with you here. I do agree with the factors that you mentioned are worth considering(Whitepaper, Development team experience, Roadmap, Social media interactions by the development team etc), but I do not agree with your statement that most projects end as failures. Based on my experience, 50% of the projects are legit while 50% end up as scams. Among the legit 50%, only around 25% of the projects reward profitable coins or tokens while the remaining 25% end up as worthless coins or tokens.

Hackers hacking the cryptocurrency market is a common occurrence and I am not surprised about the Bancor hack at all. Have been hearing about a lot of hacks recently, but none of this fazes me since I have gotten used to hearing such news. Also, I usually don't panic due to such news and focus on HODLING my coins and tokens for a long period of time until they reach an optimal value after which I sell them.

Very good post op. I do firmly believe that HODLERS will not change the world, but they will not damage the cryptocurrency market either which is something to consider. Not many people can HODL through all the dips that the market suffers on a regular basis. On top of all this, we have hackers, scammers and FUDers who aim at degrading the cryptocurrency market in whatever way possible for their own pleasure who are simply ignored by HODLERS like me who can control their emotions. I try to utilize crypto wherever possible(Only Bitcoin currently) since I absolutely love this decentralized method of payment.

Any update? The last I heard anything from your team was June 28 and no update since then. Its the middle of July already. It would be great if your team gave us some update regarding the token distribution soon since the campaign distribution sheets have already been sorted out.

What are you going on about? Bitcoin is the reason the entire market is thriving in the first place. Insulting the king of the cryptocurrency market is silly and stupid. Bitcoin has single handedly powered the entire cryptocurrency market into a new era where altcoins and ICOs became relevant. Investors speak highly about Bitcoin when its value rises, but trash it completely whenever its value falls which is basic human nature. Altcoins will always depend on Bitcoin for their survival at the end of the day since Bitcoin has laid the foundation for crypto to shine.

This is what I have observed myself recently. Feels great to observe world governments realizing the power of the cryptocurrency market and the technology behind this market. Almost all governments favor the blockchain technology while only a few governments favor cryptocurrencies which will grow over time since the truth is that crypto is here to stay. More countries like China, India etc need to follow in the footsteps of South Korea which could trigger the next big bull run if I am not mistaken.

There are several altcoins which have tremendous potential and are worth investing into like Ethereum, Stellar Lumens, NEO, Litecoin, Ripple etc which are considered safe altcoins and can possibly fetch you a decent profit in the short term as well as the long term based on the performance of Bitcoin on the whole. Among these coins, I would choose Ethereum due to its tech and popularity and its community. Litecoin would be my second choice here.

I don't think so. There is a reason why Bitcoin has always been the king until now and this will not change anytime soon. According to me, Bitcoin will always remain as the king of the cryptocurrency market and no altcoin can ever come close to the popularity that Bitcoin has gained over time. Bitcoin is dependent on altcoins in certain ways, but altcoins depend on Bitcoin to a greater degree and not the other way around. Altcoins like Ethereum, Litecoin etc are the most popular altcoins at the moment and are still leagues away from Bitcoin in price and popularity.

No one can tell for sure. This is the risky part of this cryptocurrency market. You were aware of the risks. The cryptocurrency market has always been extremely volatile in nature and this is not going to change anytime soon. I recommend HODLING your coins and tokens for now since you would most likely be selling at a loss currently and you might gain back your initial investment or maybe even profit if you stay patient for some more time.

NEO has lost a large amount of its value just like most other coins and tokens in the market at the moment, but this does not necessarily mean that this coin is done. The bear market is most likely the reason the reason behind its dip in value which is why I suggest HODLING it until the next bull market arrives since this coin does have a lot of potential and the NEO community completely support it no matter what which is why I am HODLING my stash currently.
