No man. If you have time available on your hand don't give up. Assign some time and keep doing research and keep learning there are still some good projects out there.

It's a matter of time when ATH will be reached.

Don't forget that reward halving is in 2020 or so. That is important for price if you ask me.

I've had few faucets without captcha not sure how good idea is that.

It was fine. For a while... Until someone who knows how to make tidy little bots figured it out. After that they were drained.

Up until captcha was back and everything went back to normal after that.

Let us know how it went for you.

Now would be perfect timing to look for nice project to invest into.

There might be another bottom, but since BTC is sort of steady in $5-7k range everything is looking perfect for investment if you ask me.

Doge won't die that easy as it's used as in and exit and to move funds from exchange to exchange fast and without ridiculous fees paid (in some cases).

So if you ask me, one of the biggest jokes in crypto is here to stay. So think about more serious projects out there

Yeah but we need to have nerves size of an anaconda to stay calm in this type of market when everything is down.

I just tend to stay away from crypto in times like these and it's much easier to manage than looking at charts and prices each and every day.

Hahah spot on! I've been reading mining forums for a while as well (not just investing) and it's same thing. People will trust complete stranger to tell them what to do with their own money. I do understand having it as a bit of advice and doing your own research but nooo they will pretty much do as told.

I bet that most people know how you actually borrow $100 from a bank and you need to get back $101 and in order to do so you need to borrow another $1. So this is infinite loop that has flows. Economy will collapse again it's a matter of time. For USD to become "worthless" it takes much more than buying in crypto. Even if USD starts becoming useless do you really believe that US gov will "let it be". Naaah I thought so. Don't worry about USD and yeah invest in crypto (why not?).

Usage by everyday people would help a lot not just "geekish" part of humanity aka us

When I was thinking about this in March/April this year I was honestly thinking about doing it like proper bounty system but with % of airdroped coins just to get more in popularity. Also, don't overdo on total supply.

Combination of both with actual TRACKING of what provides best results is the way to go. Just benchmark it aka split test everything and keep up with things that provide better results.

Time is right whenever you feel comfortable. There are lot of waves going on, so whenever you feel like stepping in do it. Don't let other people decide for you. They can't know how much you can afford to lose and/or what are your end goals. It is decision that should be based solely after your own research and individual basis.

Some people went in crypto in Dec 2017. they felt it is right moment. Was it right, or wrong only time will tell!

Look at ICO as very high risk investment. Even if you do your own research there is still chance of fail.

Read trough various experiences of people with ICOs and watch youtubers explain how it all works. That all helps in the learning process and should help you down the road.

Also, here is a tip for you how to find good youtuber. Find a few months old video from youtuber where he predicts prices of ICOs or coins, check if he was right. If he was right (youtuber) continue to watch his videos and learn from it

Personally I tend to stay away from ICOs as if crypto is high risk investment ICOs are VERY high risk investment.

If you do research well (as much as possible) there is always chance for big bank in the process, but not always.

There are scam projects of course, man you can buy entire ICO setup for like few hundred USD and keep your own ICO launched if you want to go that route. ICO = startup with lot of frauds IMO. Nothing else.

Why this has to be the case with every bearish market trend? On all forums threads like these pop up.

Yes it is true that some projects are manipulated, but not all of them. Even if that is the case if you hit right wave with wales you can still profit.

What it is? You give bananas for it? You get it free? I don't think so. It's high risk investment.

Hahah this is good one. I really thought that you are asking these questions.

Finally some sense into it. I hope this will ge tto be #1 on Google for this type of questions as answer.

I would consider it like this.

People invest in ICOs as they are investing in some sort of business, but they keep FOMOing this is why it's working well.

Thing is that even if it's legit ICO there is no guarantee that it HAS to work. Soo... There is lot of room for scams and of course unintentional failures. Just keep up with the golden rule, don't put in more than you can afford to lose.

I see. Now that makes sense. I was thinking where this all this bullish run came from it might be quite related to this.

Thank you for posting article as well as I actually missed this information.

If it's based on the current article we as well might expect at least another 10 days of bullish run.

"“We’re one positive regulatory decision away — maybe an ETF approved by the SEC — to climb through $20,000 and even to $50,000 by the end of the year,” the Bitmex CEO states."

Hahah quite positive thought on this one, but yeah he is CEO of Bitmex but I do consider that news like these have huge influence on price.

It is most certainly worthy. Just make sure to do your own research while deciding what airdrop to pick. For some of the airdrops that I've participated I even bought in coins of projects that I liked. It can really be interesting and you can make decent profit by participating.

Some funny answers right there

Guys there is no special formula or correlation or any patterns noticed as of yet from most of people that I've talked with have noticed.

It will take few more years for patterns to be discovered and correlation to be made that will further help to predict pricing and effects on alts.

However there is an fomo effect going on whenever BTC tanks and it's taking alts along most of the time, same when it bulls.
