Decided to share some of my current coins that I hold in my portfolio and nearest ICOs that I would keep for 6m.
Coins by relevance as they are in my portfolio in %:
Zilliqa - 53
ETH - 12 - for new ICOs
WAN - 12
FSN - 9
ICX - 3
Neo - 2
Dadi - 2
Other small capitalization coins.
Also I would like to increase share of NEO in my portfolio.


Among ICOs I have very high expectations from NEX. I would definitely keep it until product launch. I would like to see DEX that could match my expectations. Liked their wallet.  It seems very user-friendly. Also recent announcement about fiat gateway added hype to the project. If they manage to create user-friendly DEX with high speed and fiat gateway it will be one the best top exchanges.  Plus it will share dividends (at least I hope so, as this paragraph may be changed as it is written their WP due some regulatory policies).

Please share your portfolios for 6 months. Very interesting....

Found very interesting and useful piece of information and decided to share it with bitcointalk community.
It's a spreadsheet which agregates ICO ratings of major youtoobers', ICO reviewers', etc in one place.
I you like it - you can merit me, cause I can't level up.

I watched Suppoman several times on youtube and never took his videos too serious because he likes shilling many projects instead of real support.
But today I saw his video where he was telling about Wanchain and that its preditcion price will go to 1,5 USD.
He is a funny guy. He compared Wanchain to Trinity and said that Wanchain will possibly have the same decrease trend. OMG!!!!
He compared 2 different projects with different stages of completion. He compared Trinity with its exchange hit during bull market with Wanchain hitting exchanges during bear market. He compared charts in USD and he forgot to mention in his "analysis" that all crypto prices dropped heavily. So my point of view is that he tries to use his fans and to influence wanchain price to buy more.

Now I just can't keep silence. At least I would like to make people aware of his manipulations and please be carefull if you follow his advises. He will never give you honest advises.

Boxmining/DataDash/ICODROPS/Crypto Daily / BlockchainBrad - these guys that people should follow. These yuotubers give real value.

"Great news was passed on from the G20 summit as they announced they are not interested in pursuing further regulation of cryptocurrency and blockchain.

The G20 is an international forum of governments and central bank leaders from the most financially influential countries around the world. Their aim is to create policy that will provide international financial stability.  The letter published by the Bank of England governor, Mark Carney, who is the chair of the Financial Stability Board (FSB), stated that “The FSB’s initial assessment is that crypto-assets do not pose risks to global financial stability at this time.”

What do you personally think? Are these news positive or negative?

P.S. I think that in the current Bear Market these news are great as it didn't crash the market deeper, but not sure that lack of regulations may have good long-term effect.

 Crypto today is highly influenced by governemnt. Maybe regular negative news and government regulations keep us from BUBBLE? I mean these negative news protect us from constant growth with subsequent huge DUMP? what do you think about market corrections? I think they are healthy for crypto.

Another important thing I would like to discuss... My long-term expectations are that the next trend in crypto is global decentralization from government regulations with INTERNAL CODE CRYPTO PREDETERMINED RULES. I mean all of the users will know certain CODE of ETHICS that will be written in the code of the crypto itself.

VERY BULLISH SIGN ==> Cryptocurrency Exchange Poloniex Has Been Bought by Circle

Now I feel that crypto is taken very very seriously.
Purhaps for the time being such deal is the easiest way to put BIG money into crypto without huge pumping effect on the market. Big money found their way to get in.

I am providing a link below as a proof.
https://news.bitcoin.com/cryptocurrency-exchange-poloniex-bought-circle/

I am thinking of buying one of hardwallets:
- trezor or;
- ledger nano s.

I like ledger more due its cool design, but my concern is about its durability. Trezor looks more durable.
I would appreciate any of your comments and past experience.
If you own any of these wallets, please write what time do you own it and what is your experience with it.

What are your thoughts about future trends in Crypto? Short term (2018); mid term (2-3 years); long-term (3-5 years)?

In the previous year we had decentralized identity trend (partially we have this trend early 2018).
Currently there is a huge trend for infrastructure projects (blockchains).

I think that in for 2018 we will have a consumer oriented projects. Perhaps we will see some projects failures and successes that will be good experience for future development. I am really waiting of real application of some crypto projects.

There is ONE VERY INTERESTING THING:
- today most of crypto projects are oriented into blockchains due to SAFETY reasons and TRUST;
- at the same time we have increase in HACKS and DATA stolen.
Now I question myself why do we have TRUSTED technology like blockchain and we STILL do not have very good and easy SAVE mechanisms that prevent from HACKS. I think that in the nearest future we will see more data breaches and leaks. Thus I think the mid-term trend is gonna be SAFETY of personal data and HACK PROTECTION.

What do you think about news that China may allow ICOs in May 2018?
If this is the case - neo may have a huge bull run.
Neo devcon is coming at the end of Jan and I already expect so many big news (if there is collaboration with Trinity)...
If we add allowing icos in China to scalabilty - I expect possible neo double in price till may.

Edited 27.01.2018:
Just saw a lot of people asking to provide a link to the news. Below there is a link. Still it's not confirmed. Only rumors. Maybe fake.

I don't want this post creating false hopes or negative replies. It's discussion. Would like to see different opinions.

Does anybody know good ICO agregators except icodrops.com?
This site is great,  but it creates so much hype,  that every ICO that is listed there is bought very fast. I am trying to find some unknown gems. Or at least to be faster than it is listed in icodrops.

Decided to know what do you think about coming ICO projects and which projects do you wait the most?

My top 3 are currently:
1) Gonetwork
2) THEKEY
3) Nucleus Vision.

What are your choices? I think it would very interesting to hear all our thoughts and to get new information (maybe even about gems$-)

In the last days we saw huge increase in several coins. And for many of them those jumps were unexpected. For me it seemed that huge money came into market. We are getting bigger, but at the same time I found that I loose control over what is going on. Before the market was easier to follow. Every jump had its cause (exchagne, partnerships, etc.). Nowadays it seems that hungry newbies with millions of dollars came to the market. Now it grows due to hunger, but what will happen when those new players jump out of crypto?
