What happened was that a rumour circulated that the founder of Ether, Vitalik Buterin died in a car accident. All their investors panicked then the value dropped. I still think it was one of their competitors that created this fake news story.

I don't think its a good idea to invest in Ether right now. Perhaps it is more stable now but I would still not suggest it. And plus, there's so many new and exciting ICO's taking place. Some of them have real potential so why no broaden your mind, do some research and invest in those. Who know's what you could get out of it. Just a thought

Hope that helps.

That's true. There are a lot of opportunistic people out there trying to make a quick buck from other people's fortunes. Its really important to do your research and be absolutely sure when wanting to invest in an ICO project. It is an investment but also a huge risk.

Ever since the scandal about the death of Ether owner, I cant exactly see much progress. Can I be wrong?

I use NEM Nano Wallet.

Reddin isn't a bad coin. There have a lot of potential, however there are so many upcoming coins, who have just as much potential and why wouldn't you want to invest in those than storing all your coin in just one. Do your homework and see which one works best for you.

I think cryptocurrencies need a strong PR team for crisis management plans. Who knows, maybe if they had responded to the scandal in time, it would have died down and everyone would have realised that it was #Fakenews and the dude wasn't in fact died or in a car crash. But as time went by, it reached more and more people and they all freaked out and reacted the way they did. As a result, it went sliding down by 20%. Which in my opinion, is A LOT!

I would say no because even pro's don't always have the best luck. It's fair to say that experience may help but its definitely not a necessity.

Looks like a promising coin but there's so many cryptocurrencies booming up. Watch their introduction video and share yur thoughts please

There's quiet a few actaully. Civic is an interesting looking one. There also seems to be one called DIMCOIN which i dont know too much about and the last one I'm keen to see grow is Primalbase.

I would give up some of those coins for other promising ones like InsureX, DIMCOIN and Civic. You can go check them out. The links are below:

Saying ICOs are a recent trend is pretty much an understatement. Companies are making millions if not billions off them. Any one have stats on previous ones and ones taking place now?

Its the only company I've seen on almost all altcoins that can support the security needed for such coins. Am I wrong?

Bitcoin has to improve if it wants to remain at the top. The whole point of people having an interest in digital currency in the first place is for long costs and no middlemen so it would be defeating the purpose if the costs are high.

What are the chances of living in a world with no actual money ? 

As soon as majority of the world is informed and knows about digital currency, what do you think will happen? No matter how good it sounds to traditional banking, how much of the population will make cryptocurrency grow? 

Just interested to find out what language this is...

Everything you're saying is valid but you can not be completely certain with Bitcoin or any other altcoin. The world experiences financial impacts and influences every day and this would effect digital currency as a whole. I definitely agree with your concerns and to answer your second question - Bitcoin would need to stay relevent in the cryptocurrency world by implementing and evolving their blockchain technologies. Anything spontanious and innovative would do.

Haha that would be something,right? Maybe the thread got thousands of comments all suggesting to that name. Who knows, maybe that did happen and we don't even know! 

Its totally fair to acknowledge the steady growth Ethereum has made during its course but I still don't think it has the power to overtake Bitcoin. Perhaps in the fututre, who knows what will happen...
