Glad to see things are moving forward. As a newbie, always wandered about advertising avatars. All makes sense now ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Would have joined, but just a newbie still.

As many have stated before me, there is only one rule on how much to invest: Only invest the amount you can afford to lose.
I guess it cannot be overstated. Try remembering dot-com bubble. Same thing here. Most of the coins we see today will not exist in a couple of years. Only few will remain. Chances of losing your investment are high. If you can handle losing $10, then that's your ideal amount to invest. If you earn $100K a week, I guess $100K is a great starting point.

I am very surprised and disappointed with attitude of some people here. I guess it is understandable that so many people are only after profit in these times of cryptocurrency bubble as most of them are technology illiterate. But, bashing developer(s) for not giving you more free money?! Don't you think you are going a bit too far? Are you only interested in your investments bringing you short term profit or are you here because you want to be a part revolutionary technology that will change the way we live our lives?
Blockchain and DAG are wonderful technologies that should advance mankind, give all people some more freedom from everyday oppression, make our lives easier so we can focus on things that matter. And instead, millions of people are rushing in using only their basic instincts, while using no brain whatsoever. Wooohoo, free beer! Gimme, gimme, gimme! I want to be a millionaire tomorrow by investing $10 today! Come on Tony, where's my money?! I bough GBYTE when it was $60 and now it is only $600! If only you would change it to KBYTE and burn the rest, I would have $6000 now! Come on Tony, do as I say or I will leave! Even worse, I will make my own fork!
Well, let me ask all of you who are after quick profit - what is it that you have done, contributed or created, so that you ask for easy money? You did some coding? Developed something on your own? Gave away free GBYTEs to attract more users? Your shop is in cashback program? You want to make a fork? Please do! I bet half of you couldn't make "Hello World". You invested money into this project? Big deal - you did it because you thought you will make a quick profit, not because you wanted this project to succeed for technology sake. If it wasn't for Byteball, you would have invested in something else as you probably did.
Are you offended? No problem, look for more profit somewhere else. I am willing to bet all my GBYTEs that most of you who are whining now had profit from Byteball so far and hadn't lost a dime.
And who knows, maybe Tony thinks that his technology is more important than you guys buying Tesla cars. Maybe he remembers that during previous bubble (.com one) only good ideas with lots of work, substance and sacrifice made it (Amazon worked with loses for 6 years, before making profit and look at it today). Maybe he thinks inflating Byteball now, while it is not yet ready to support large volumes would ruin it forever. Maybe he thinks more stable currency will do more good than one jumping up and down whenever some millionaire/bank/investment fund/politician feels like messing around. Maybe not listing GBYTE on major exchanges should indicate something? Maybe he just doesn't care about money. Or maybe he is just messing with us all and has made a fortune and will disappear in a month's time to live his life happily ever after, drinking cocktails on a Caribbean beach with four young ladies. Who knows?
After all, you are all free to make your own choices, say what you want to say and do what you want to do. I will stay with Byteball, willing to risk my investment and hoping to one day use Byteball wallet on a daily basis and doing my next project on Byteball DAG. Maybe I will lose my investment - that is fine, I never invest more than I can get over easily. If not, even better. If there is a profit on top of this technology, well that would be a cherry on top. Maybe you should rethink what your expectations really are? Probably will help in making a better decision going forward.

Good news: the Byteball wallet at Cryptopia seems to have been upgraded to version 2.0 (currently still syncing). Hopefully this means withdrawals will be back online soon (in time for the planned 1 March airdrop).
Thanks Wekkel, that sounds good. Can you please update if you find that withdrawals are functioning again? Thanks!

Hi Tonych,
If you add Serbian language, I can do the translation. Serbian is similar to Croatian, Bosnian and Montenegrin (in the way Austrian German is similar to Bavarian German, for example), so that should cover those countries too, until a proper translation is done by someone...
I'm confused, which Serbian should I add? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F7XkgF09.png&t=665&c=4GzGDQrdrXRXzg) To make things simpler, I suggest you go with Serbian (Latin). Serbian (Cyrillic) is mostly used in Serbia, so Latin is of greater use to people in Croatia and Bosnia, I guess, while still perfectly understandable by Serbians and Montenegrin. Also, Serbo-Croatian (or Croato-Serbian) is officially no more, so I would avoid it, not to spark political debates. If we use Serbian (Latin) now, everyone in Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia and Bosnia would understand it and you can add Croatian, Montenegrin and Bosnian later, when/if translated. Personally, I don't mind either way and changing a text from Latin to Cyrillic is literally just one click.
