You can still use your credit or debit through Paypal though. I don't think there will be additional fees since the merchants shoulder it.

I don't think so.. Well, it depends on the subreddit. 100 upvotes is not unusual in some of them.

That's true.. ICO investing is indeed high risk depending on a lot of factors which involves the project itself, team, and supporters but the rewards are as high if not even higher than we could except. Sadly, some ICO investors have either quit or are waiting for a better investment system to avoid losing their funds due to scams.

Speaking of legit ICOs, I've been following MenloOne recently. It's a decentralized ICO listing marketplace where its CEO mentioned about having solved the various issues most investors fear in ICOs. Has anyone heard of this project and its team?

i currently use icorating.com to check for recommended projects. Will menlo one be any different from the current ICO rating sites that we have?

I would like to invest in your ICO, but want to know the minimum investment requirement.. Also, does it have to be Eth/Menlo or can it be a straight conversion from BTC to Menlo tokens?

I think this is simply because the token has no intrinsic value and was just used for a quick pump and dump. I think this is the result of a coin being hyped so much that so many newbie ICO  investors got sucked in. Hopefully this will soon change once Menlo One launches its token sale and get its ICO marketplace operational this mid July. Here's a detailed interview of Menlo One's CEO by Korean Jew https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rw1QBpBYE6o I'd like some insights from long-time ICO investors since I'm not sure if I should be risking most of my capital for this token?

Aren't they currently in the beta stage? Will these fees change (be more expensive) in the future when they go live?

While paying taxes might be a burden to some of us, the truth is our govt can't function without funds they get from taxes. I hate to admit it, but while govt officials can be corrupt most of the time, we need the system itself to keep chaos at bay.

With $50, I'd probably buy cheap coins like Doge and forget it for a long time... Actually, $50 isn't really much, so you will need to gradually add to your position once you have more money to invest.

Become famous first, then make some random tweets. You will gain hordes of followers in no time. 

We don't need to prove to them or force them to like Bitcoin especially if they are not willing to be open minded. Nothing really needs to be done except worry about your own investment.

Hate to admit it, but I believe that Bitcoin is losing its value everyday because of the many unserviced transactions and high fees.. People have started to avoid Bitcoin for micropayments.

I think Bitcoin is just ranging between12k and 10k. This is nothing to be alarmed about since it's neither negative nor positive. People are just accumulating within these levels.

I wouldn't invest in anything and save it up until it becomes $100 and invest in Ripple.

I pick XRP, Burst, DeepOnion,Waves, LTC, and Eth for this month....Bitcoin might rise anytime but not sure if it is within this month.

Regardless of which country bans or welcomes Bitcoin, nothing can stop people from trading/investing in it which makes it grow even more...

I'm just holding and hopefully will get more funds to keep buying while there is no momentum yet.. I don't want to sell Bitcoin since I trust that it will soon explode upward again.

I believe so too.. I think 2018 will not end without this happening. Bitcoin's value will skyrocket exponentially with the launch of the lightning network.

Eth, Ripple, Bitcoin Cash, LTC, Neo, TRon. I pick these promising coins and will be holding at least until the end of the year. Any of them could explode within the early months of this year alone.

Very true and well said.. We should never place everything we have in one investment type. We should diversify our portfolio in order to avoid losing too much should the worst case scenario happen.
