Most coins have lost 50 to 80% of their value, many tokens that were financed with expensive ether may now have their funding reduced due to their holdings. Do you think many of the ICOs have sold their ether and bitcoin during the last months? What other factors are making the market go steadily down?

For me it is quite clear that Bitcoin is not a tulip bulb. It has been there for quite a while and it has a value beyond any doubt, whether you want to say is 10k or 100k or any other value you feel confortable with. But, lets pretend that you have to sell bitcoin and the concept to a forum of old style CEOs and business men. They want to know what is your product and what are the benefits. How would you describe the value proposition of Bitcoin and the customers pain points?

The ArcBlock ICO looks terribly promissing. The technical side is quite in line with what is required nowadays: cloud computing, token support systems, ... and for those of you that are into mining this may be the chance to get it from the start before it reaches full capacity.

You may have to wait until the exchange, but it is worth it.

Is not my case, I do have some savings so I didn´t start from absolutely nothing, but I had not much to start with. I am having a decent go at cryptos and I think it may be possible to make a living... What could be a good strategy?

I think there are a few coins out there that are due for a correction, as the valuation has exceeded what could be considered as a reasonable value even if the wildest expectations were confirmed. I think one of them IOTA... any other?

As you know, banks can lend more money than they have in deposits, however you currently cannot do that with cryptos. Do you think that it is a decisive advantage or it could be somehow countered?

Just that... do you think there is any re-distribution effect at all due to bitcoin?

I have seen adds for tranding bots all over the forum and other places. Does anyone have experience using trading bots? Any risks or advantages?

This is an entry about it

The main offender is Cryptokitties, with 15% of the total transactions, but the two next consumer contracts are also Cryptokitties related, so actually is probably consuming 30% of the ethereum network processing capacity.

Clear proof of an imediate need to implement scaling solutions to ethereum such as Plasma and Raiden or it will die of success.

Today someone paid more than 8$ for an ethereum transaction. Would someone please implement the Raiden Protocol???
