Don't buy into the ripple hype. Check out The Ivy Project, its supposedly the Ripple Killer!

What kind of marketing would you recommend to a new blockchain company? We dabbled with Airdrops and giveaways but there was an enormous amount of bots participating and it wasn't useful to us.

Anybody recommend a strategy besides airdrops or youtube videos?

Has nobody invested in an ICO then?

What do you guys think about the entire marketing tanking? What would cause Ethereum to drop by almost 50% in a week while Bitcoin is pretty stable?
Any thoughts on the altcoin market correcting itself with all the scam coins going down the drain?

It is always a good time to invest in Ethereum, anything under $1000. The impact the Ethereum blockchain has on the world will only grow and grow. In 2 to 3 years we will see all blockchain projects and coins start to slowly rise. Wait 5 years when the regulatory agencies catch up and all the big fish start to invest in crypto, you will see the entire market hitting records we couldn't think imaginable.

The problem with Altcoins is that the market was saturated with ICO's and cash grabs with no real-world products to support their model long term. So many people have been burned time and time again, there is little investment happening in the Altcoin space compared to earlier this year.

Altcoins aren't dead, just the ones with poor leadership, transparency, and solid user-end products.

Actually, ripple has only worked with 2 banks and are developing a product for only 1. We are working with 10+ developing products.

There are 4 main things I look for when investing

1. Solid Team/Advisory board
2. Idea that has real, plausible implementation for blockchain use
3. Community involvement/hype
4. Reasonably low market valuation/token amount

Always do your research. ICO's are risky because of the unknown factor. If you can find one that is transparent and the tokenomics make sense, INVEST!

It comes down to the bandwidth of the team behind the token. Our bounty program was completed and distributed on time. As soon as the campaign ended, which the dates were publicly known, we started distributing tokens the same week. I would recommend finding some information about the company and see if the lights are still on!

I see that there is a tremendous amount of hate for new ICO's entering the market, some of is unwarranted. I've had some pretty good experiences with ICO's before personally, just requires a lot of prior investment research!

My question is, have you invested in an ICO(s), and have you gotten burned or turned out ok?

Thats a really interesting find. Maybe it has something to do with the hype of bitcoin when it hit $20k, people came to this forum then suddenly lost interest when it he price dropped?

Yes, yes you should. Sometimes is a pain to buy altcoins, for instance our coin. Right now we are listed on HitBTC so its hard.

Crypto is the currency of the future m8. The entire world will eventually swap over to crypto because of the instantaneous transaction time and the public ledger, transparency and stability of security.

We did our own Airdrop, and successfully sent out all the tokens. Airdrops are scams if they come from fishy sources. Ours was listed officially in our telegram chatroom and everyone who participated received their airdrop in a week.  @ivykoin

Ivy It recently announced a product called ‘IvyPay” for consumers to change Crypto into FIAT which will launch soon.

Ivy is a blockchain-based technology for FIAT & cryptocurrency business transactions which require extensive verification in the international monetary system. The ivy network utilizes IVY tokens which carry KYC & KYT data points critical for Financial Institution validation.

Ivy recently announced its new “IvyPay” which will allow consumers to change cryptocurrencies into real dollars (FIAT). This consumer product is the first step in delivering the Ivy Network technology for banks & Financial Institutions.

Only a small number of Altcoins will survive. Most of these coins coming out don't have much backing, are not transparent and communication dead ends. The ones that survive will be the ones that give the blockchain community the most value.

We don't sell our coins, we HODL till the MVP.

The market swings over time, right now we are entering a bull run for Bitcoin. Hopefully altcoins can piggy back bitcoin's rise to raise value over the entire market.

Changed our settings, send over when ready
