No, it is not the best way to invest. If you believe just because a coin puts out an ICO it somehow legitimises the project then you are wrong. It is so easy now for someone to start an ICO using ETH with fancy graphics and nice sounding roadmaps without actually having to have anything in the pipeline.
There will be good ICOs that can work out but if you look at many of the ICOs over time the majority of them fall below ICO value after getting listed on an exchange as people want to cash out with some profit.
The best way to invest is to evaluate the project and not take into account the fact it is an ICO, there are many projects out there that have not felt the need to raise x amount of money prior to doing anything, a prime example of this is bitcoin itself.

I just replied to a similar thread, I can understand the concern and fear that something big will happen and the price will drop big time but I really don't think it will, there is a lot of fear about.
i thought maybe I should move over to litecoin over this period but then decided not to as bitcoin is the way to go and whatever happens there is too much invested for bitcoin to fail.

I can see what you mean "in this critical situation" obviously referring to August 1st and everything that goes with it, I myself have considered moving over to litecoin to ride the uncertainty at that time but i am now thinking that nothing major will happen as long as you own your bitcoin as in you have your keys, there might be a fluctuation in the price but i can't see it being anything major.

Such a small amount I first thought it might be a faucet you have used and since forgotten about but if it has gone to multiple addresses must be some kind of spam, wouldn't worry about it really.

Being of ICO quality is confusing me, are you saying that because someone holds an ICO their coin/project is worth more and is more credible than someone that writes the code and creates the project from scratch themselves?
An ICO nowadays especially via ETH is too easy for someone to setup and there is too much greed, everybody that has a coin or project to launch now wants to do it by raising an insane amount of money without having to do anything, I think it has become a FAD now and people are chasing a quick profit so are throwing money at any ICO.
There are some that are great and I have been part of some decent ones but only after really looking into the project and not just because it is an ICO.
That's my little rant over, not directed at you just in general.
Please don't ignore those projects that have been in existence steadily growing with dedicated devs working hard behind the scenes.

Can't see why not, bitcoin is money but I would think if you are looking to create a movie you will need a script and various other bits and pieces in place before getting to the funding stage.
There must be a system in place where you can put yourself down on a list or join some kind of funding group where people would approach you for funding?

There will be a lot of people that will sell as soon as it gets listed in order to make a little bit of profit which will cause it to dump below ICO price as most of them usually do, I'm surprised that they raised so much.

As much as I would like to have an app that makes Bittrex a bit more mobile friendly I think I will give this one a miss just in case, if it was open for review then maybe but it's too shady.

It depends on where you are sending your bitcoin from, different wallets will have different structure in place for example Mycellium has a few choices, economy, priority etc.
I have noticed over the last week that even with a small fee my transactions have been going through much quicker than they were a few weeks ago when the fees were very high.

A multitude of things, Coinmarketcap, this forum, twitter, reddit, exchanges, previous history, upcoming news. Or you can just take a chance and pick up a low cap coin and just wait until it starts moving.

It will be interesting to see how it all works out IF there is a split and we end up with Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Unlimited, we have seen it with ETH and ETC where the original chain is still active but is behind the rolled back ETH.
I wonder what will happen with bitcoin, I would like to think that bitcoin core would prevail as the only true chain and we don't bow down to the hijacking of the original idea.

I would suggest looking at https://coinmarketcap.com/ to give you an idea of what coins are out there and then coming to this forum and do some research on the coins that take your interest, then choose a few not just one as it is always better to have many options and diversify. |

Altcoin prices will follow bitcoin as they are all traded against bitcoin so it plays a huge role, there are other markets also such as ETH and so on but if bitcoins price goes up or down the alt coins price ultimately follows.

A lot of people are fearing the hard fork because they don't want to end up with two different types of bitcoin. There are also some reports floating around that in the event of a hard fork, that if one of the chains doesn't survive, that some of the really old transactions would effectively be erased from the blockchain. Whether there is any truth to that, I don't know.
Also certain hot wallets like Coinbase have openly stated they would only support one type of scaling option i believe.
1. That is why storing your bitcoins offline is the best option. As far as you have the private keys and your funds are not stored in exchanges, I don't think your coins would split in two, you have the full freedom to choose a chain of your choice. Some exchanges would give you the option to split your coins into two chains or move to a single chain, some exchanges based on their rules would split your coins without your consent, and maybe exchanges like Coinbase would only list a single coin. 2. In case of a split, all exchanges would stop buy/sell options maybe up to 24 hours to prevent any issues arising from replay attacks and network instability/vulnerability. 3. The split might be short-lived, based on economic majority, one chain would get the better of other and split would be over. Or it could go over a longer period of time, Ethereum Classic vs Ethereum is an example. 4. A soft fork adds new rules to the existing rules in the network, but a hard fork removes the existing rules and adds new so I guess a HF would make old transactions to be erased from the blockchain. Maybe I am wrong. A lot of the exchanges will be listing as Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Unlimited so will be treating the alternative chain as an altcoin. In either case I think moving coins into your own local wallet is the best thing to do http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-exchanges-unveil-emergency-hard-fork-contingency-plan/ |

I have had experience with Genesis and although you do make a return you need to wait a year and it is such a small amount, trading some altcoins is far better.

WBB soon to be DLS will be relaunching and it has a lot of things ahead, could be huge, should be huge.

You can do it if you find the right coin at the right price and it shoots up which can be a bit like playing whack a mole. All coins have just had a huge dip so even if you don't make the profit you are looking for you should still get away with a decent %

Above $2,500, I think we will see it rising a lot, even closer to $3,000 with all the hype that will come as we get closer and then we'll just have to see what happens.

It is possible, a lot of it is due to timing, if you are in the right place at the right time with the right amount of coins it can happen, be prepared though for a lot of loss along the way.

I think you might just have missed out on the bottom for some of these coins, today it is a sea of green but they should still be lower than they were a few days ago.
