0X and NEX. Both decentralised exchanges. Weather they succeed is irrelevant, the decentralised exchange seems like a trend that will attract many investors

I think bitcoin goes without saying, eth, NEO, LTC for the big caps. I think these are the most likely to be around long term any other projects come with a high degree of risk

This is unexpected! I was under the assumption Charlie sold his litecoin shares so he could concentrate on litecoin without any biases

I lost half my crypto due to theft. I plan to hold on and I don't think it will be long before my other half makes up for the loss.

I heard something similar to this. I imagine he realised there would be no way to cash out

This is a hard one to decide on. I myself have a larger position in eth however litecoin has allot of good news coming out this year and the competition eth have on the horizon in ADA EOS NEO I think litecoin might actually experience better gains lets say by 2019

I think a huge part of their success is the brand and the fact they were first. No other coin has the security of bitcoin so that is definitely a factor in its success. Its also looked on as a store of value unlike other coins. I do think if and when lightning network gets up and running transaction fees and times will make bitcoin a way better means of day to day transactions

I think getting in at the ICO stage is allot more profitable. Its by far the best way to maximise profits. That being said it comes with a tremendous amount of risk. ICO's are after all pretty much all classing themselves as utility tokens when they are obviously securities which means they don't owe you anything. If the company fails you own nothing. You are buying a currency hoping that the network increases in value meaning the value of your token increases in value so this really is the ideal situation for anybody launching a start up. Get ungodly amounts of money without having a working product and without having to owe anything to shareholders if it fails. Its a no loose situation.

This all makes investing in ICO's lethal if you don't know what you are looking for. There are so many traps that an unsuspecting investor can fall into. However its these risks that make investing in ICOs so profitable. These trappings of ICOs stop a whole heap of potential investors. So if you can get up to date on the fundamentals you should be able to make an informed decision on ico investments.

So my answer would be if you are not confident in the research you have done wait for the coin to hit the exchange and even then don't buy straight away wait a week because coins that hit exchanges more often than not pump then dump when early investors decide to take profit

I love ICON. The re-brand couldn't have come at a worse time for them! Just as bitcoin tanked. Its a Korean smart contract platform that has huge potential. Especially given it is a Korean platform and if you know anything about South Korea its that they like to support home grown projects. Oh and South Korea is up there with he most crypto friendly countries in the word. ICX & NEO I love

A much needed message in unstable times. Your are the equivalent to a tether coin on this thread. Actually that'd probably not a compliment. Being in crypto for 1.5 years makes you around 50 in crypto years. I agree with you on the one, too many people were expecting a constant parabolic uptrend. Be patient, don't over think and do your best to get your crypto off the exchanges onto a hardware wallet not because of risk how hacking but due to itchy finger syndrome and clicking that sell button

VeChain is really one of my favourite coins for this year. Supply chain based. Huge links with the Chinese government and Chinese supply chain companies. Already being cited in university studies. Has competition from WABI which I like.

I heard some crazy news about bitmain today. So they made profit in the billions last year more than some of the leading GPU producers which is a very symbolic i think. It's going to be companies like bitmain that will be at the cutting edge of chip capacity development in the future. The money is moving there after all.
