Why is the blockchain/decentralisation required in this case? If the platform is open to rent24 members then their profile would have been validated already, or is this to open to non-members, thus creating a bigger ecosystem?

EOS mainnet is launching, however there are rumours about multiple chains coming up, potential delay due to security issues, non-technical issue like BP election manipulations. I would appreciate your view and reasons behind it.

I suspect there will be an increase in prediction market products launching before WorldCup so that one can start betting on football matches with crypto. Although not sure how this add to the image of crypto if real life usage is gambling and porn.

You need to understand how the rating is given before trust it or not. Some ratings site just use a check list to see whether certain items like telegram group, whitepaper exist or not. These are far less useful then sites that actually trying to understand what the project and potential is, such as crushcrypto and in some case even some youtuber are better. But it's best using ratings as reference, some youtuber could be ranking the coins as the best ICO because they already negotiated presale discount and invested a lot of money in it. End of day we make our own decisions. Personal opinions not financial advice

The bitcoin value relies on social construct, i.e. we all believe in that it can become the medium of exchange and value store, the amount of investors, miners all making the system secure and valuable. The technical feature makes this possible, but another project can fork bitcoin and have the same features but will never reach the same level of value consensus as bitcoin. It may not even have enough mining power to secure itself e.g. the BTG 51% hack. Bitcoin is the first one and the one that has accumulated most trust and value consensus than any other crypto, and may never be surpassed.

As of today, I am struggling to see widely adopted killer apps on Ethereum yet. Ethereum needs to scale up to support large scale transactions and in the mean time keep the cost down. Once the technical bottle necks are resolved, more and more real use cases deployed on Ethereum, the value should reflect that.

Hi Hardron Admin, I'd like to request a social proof review. No problem if it fails the upgrade criteria. If you could advise any particular channel that I can help with, I will focus on that. Thanks!

Probably worth checking out hadron.cloud, a browser based AI blockchain. The mining is actually the contribution of CPU/GPU to common AI tasks like classification etc and can be run in a background tab without impacting browsing. There are however some implications yet to be tested e.g. network connection will be constantly open and close, on a WIFI network, this is probably OK but on a 3G network this is likely to cause battery drain, but still a very innovative use.

Not a financial advice, but my personal favourite upcoming ICO will be Swapy.network. It's a hidden gem, the only project that has been advised by both Tim Draper and Don Tapscott. A project trying to deliver both commercial success and social benefit.

It's a big correction and at such earlier stage of crypto, the price is expected to be volatile. Many of the altcoins will also need to justify their value over time. If you believe the long term of crypto then no need to worry about these corrections. But again, you should only put money in crypto which you can afford to lose and keep for long term. If not, considering readjusting your position. Not financial advice btw.

For any project that pass my initial assessment, I always read the whitepaper or something like that before investing.It will be essential to understand the problem they try to solve, how they solve it and agree with it.

看看这里的评价，不太好啊。

Hadron and Swapy.

1. They focus on commercial success but also on bringing great social benefit to the society.
2. Both have great team and advisors
3. Both have a working MVP live

Not financial advice, but one could just hodl and believe in the long term, or swing trade between bitcoin/ethereum and the alts. The challenge with the latter is that you never know the perfect timing to swing. I personally will look ahead on the long term.

A very good post by OP. I believe sooner or later the correction will come, just like the old internet days. Who remember webvan now? But there are always some crypto projects like Hadron, that are working to deliver real value rather than hype, putting product in the first place rather than rushing for an ICO, they will carry on and show their value over long term.

Not financial advice here, but I would certainly do more research on the ICO, understand the project and the tokenomics, make sure I like the concept, team and potential before considering any investment. I will also check out many review sites like crushcrypto.com and youtubers' views as a reference. Eventually this comes down to a few picks and then I will distribute some funds accordingly. My current favorite is Hadron and Swapy but you might have complete different choice. Bearing in mind the high risk of ICO in general as well, even a great team might not make it in the end, but at least I know I am investing in something that's I really like

When more projects are moving to Proof of Stake from Proof of Work, then mining as we know it might be less required. But on the other hand, mining are becoming light weight and far more accessible.

Check out projects like Hadron, which allow you to mine in mobile browser for supporting AI tasks. The mining power spent on Hadron are actually being used on real task rather tying the lottery to solve the hashing problem, therefore much more efficient.

The top priority of the bounty program is that the project itself has a great potential so all the evaluation criteria available on ICO applies too. A project with innovative concept e.g. Hadron, or a fantastic team with amazing advisors e.g. Swapy are more likely to bring you higher rewards fro the bounty as the coin will be worth much more when listed. In addition, I'd also check out the bounty manager's track record too.

Given the current political climate there, it's unlikely that they will stop cracking down on the crypto currency trading, mining and funding. So putting ICO back is unlikely.  There are talks about a blockchain based digital CNY, but there is no timeline as to when that will be available.
