"Scam!"

"Nice shitcoin!"

Get a life, clown.  If you don't want to participate, don't - stop fudding.

20% ETFs
15% individual stocks
15% annuities
10% crypto
10% gold/silver

like many posters have said, it really depends on the country you live in.  that said, i think the main point to consider is that it really doesnt matter whether certain government agencies consider it legal or illegal - apart from turning off the whole internet and keeping it off, bitcoin cannot be stopped or contained

Just this man's humble opinion:

BTS - 150
LTC - 100
BTC - 100
DGB - 100
Well-researched ICO - 50

Best of luck to you!

I have a pretty light bag which consists of

-BTC
-LTC
-BTS
-DGB
-EOS

Since Litecoin is 4x faster than Bitcoin and the blocks are 4x shorter, isn't the price cap 1/4 of whatever bitcoin is? ;-P

if we contribute to the ico via BitShares by sending BTS to eristica-app, how will we receive the ERT tokens?  Will they appear in our bitshares wallets once the integration to the bitshares platform is complete? when can we expect to receive the tokens following payment?

Thanks! Love the project

Simple question: what is the absolute #1 red flag when looking at an ICO which would cause you to pass

for someone new, you definitely seem to be on the right track, especially (IMHO) with Litecoin and EOS.  a lot of people fall into the trap of tossing money into shady ICOs and low marketcap coins hoping for the moon. 

advice that goes without saying is DYOR, but this man's humble opinion is that EOS is going to be revolutionary and could potentially dethrone ethereum.  Litecoin is solid and you won't take a loss, but you might not get the types of returns you could with EOS.  To take it a step further, if you start looking into EOS and like what you see, check out BitShares (BTS) - coins developed by the same creator Dan Larimer.  He implements a delegated proof of stake concept which is cheaper and faster than a POW blockchain, and I truly believe 2018 will be the year of decentralized exchanges/blockchains.

best of luck to you

If you were planning to DYOR on coinmarketcap for example, what criteria do the more experienced investors look for when analyzing a coin?

I lie about how much crypto I have (say I have less than I do), not really sure why.  So I definitely don’t consider it a social status thing

Personal opinion:
EOS
LTC
BTS
DGB
ADA

Agreed we are moving that direction. And by “we” i mean sentiment. But i think the key will be not just proof of stake, but delegated proof of stake. Apart from the “golds” and value storing cpins where proof of work has a ton of value, 2018 will be the year for shifting to dpos for functional utility in my opinion

any specific advice regarding bounty campaigns and what criteria you use to select which one you want to participate in?  I have invested in a couple ICO's but havent yet tried out a bounty campaign.  it sounds like it could be a good way to get "free" money and i have heard rumors that some people have made a lot of money off of bounty campaigns just by picking the right one

do any of the more experienced members have any advice or guidelines you follow when selecting an ico for a bounty campaign?  It seems pretty overwhelming but I am beginning to feel left out by not having a signature

it took over 6 weeks and multiple tickets raised for my account Poloniex account verification.  by the time it went through i decided not to use the exchange due to how little support i felt i received throughout the process.  this is terrifying though, account verification is one thing but not being able to access your own money is quite another. best of luck to you.  

the more stories that surface like this, the more 2018 will become the year of the DEX

I saw a job posting on linkedin for ripple to work for it just like any other standard company, feels wrong to me but I don't know why

can someone please explain in what ways ripple is kind of a centralized scam?

i have a vague, high-level understanding of it and tend to agree that it is not good for the space (ie banks taking back control, against the spirit of crypto, etc) but is there anyone out there who can articulate clearly why ripple mooning is bad?

i like zephyr. its part of the bitspark remittance platform and has good potential.  also been hodling digibyte just in case it gets added to coinbase one day and moons
