I'm in a projects right now with a large investment.  Not to shill but the coin is STK.  They have a 5 year deal with Mastercard.  They have a real solution to spend Crypto with a credit card.  It's even fee free when you pay with STK.  You can also use Ethereum.  You control the private keys!  The project leads are from  Mastercard.  Perfect project right?  The issue is they are very corporate oriented and the community suffers.  I think the price of the coin is struggling for this very reason.  In the end STK will go 50-100x I'm sure but not getting the community involved and excited is frustrating. 

I suffered the same huge potential losses with EBTC.  I sold it as soon as it popped.  The issue is it popped up 15 more Bitcoin profit after I sold.  I felt sick about it for a while but then got back to trading and made some decent gains.  Very hard one to swallow. 

I starting to think if this party does not get started soon alts will remain low until 2019.  Bitcoin is gonna have to run first before the alts.  Bitcoin seems stuck in place at this point and looking for momentum to get going.  If alts pump this year it will be late November to December. 

I would buy Bitcoin right now.  Wait for the market to turn.  Then at that point buy alt coin.  Nothing is gonna move without Bitcoin moving first unless you bought a 1 off coin that had news.  I would stay out of alts right now and stay in BTC. 

I use ICO bench as a check.  I do not rely on it solely for my decision making but it is a detail I look at.  Most of the time simply reading the high level plot of the project gives a lot of insight as to whether or not its complete garbage or not.  The ICO Bench mixed with a little common sense seems to be working for me. 

I drink Starbucks daily.  I would love to see this.  I can't imagine using Bitcoin in a scenario like this.  If this happens and other retail outlets are forced to compete Bitcoin will be accept around the world almost instantly.  Very exciting.  I hope it happen soon.

I think this post underestimates the king of the contract token.  I believe Ethereum will solve these issues and remain number 1.  They have every opportunity to stay the king.  The others have a huge hurtle to overcome as the 1st to the party usually is hard to dethrone. 

The best thing to do right now is simply stay patient and calm.  The market is being brutalized and selling now is a sure recipe for disaster.  I think the market will recover by the end of the year and we will go onto new highs.  This is the test right now.  Will you panic sell?

With only 1 Ethereum I would roll the dice and buy a high quality alt coin with it.  The market is bottoming out here and if your going to "get lambo" then you gotta take risks.  This may be a hell of a time to take your shot.  Just go high quality.

He deserves it.  The protocol/platform that he made is amazing and has revolutionized this entire space.  Just think of all the tokens that running off the Ethereum network.  Ethereum is amazing. 

I think if we want to get up in the trillions upon trillion of market cap you will need the bankers and institutions get in.  If we want to keep things free and buck off government we cannot be greedy for money.  We must be greedy for freedom and keep that money out.  I think most want the money though. 

Taxation = theft.  I'm not sure if most people will skirt the issue and get around paying taxes or if most will pay.  If one was smart and go through Monero then cash out locally how would they ever know?  Undercover agents world wide?  Seems this will always be an issue for governments.

Is there a way that Ethereum could become quicker over time?  Can a fork allow you to change the protocol behind the scenes and move the ledger to the new chain?  Seems like Ethereum and EOS could solve this challenge. 

It must be forum members trying to rank up via posting.  I wonder how useful that strategy is though with the merit system in place.  You would think this posting behavior would serve no purpose at this point. 

Very nice start.   Always stay within yourself and don't get to cocky if you go on a winning streak.  I have tendencies to over bet on my trades so I have a few hole sin my game.  Make sure if you find a issue fix it quickly.

The EU can say and do whatever they want however I think the cat is fully out of the bag by now.  They look foolish and show how insignificant they really are when the people decide to move in mass and do what they please.  I see the EU bowing down to preserve power. 

I like Bitcoin because its the most recognized coin by the common folks.  My 93 year old grandfather knows what Bitcoin is and has one.  When all the people know what Bitcoin is and with retails starting to accept it more and more I think it will be a sure winner. 

HAHA Sounds about right.  When more and more fresh money come in hopefully everyone is on board for the ride.  The emotions surrounding buying and selling anything are quite profound.  Stay safe and trade wisely guys.

Bitcoin will not take over Bitcoin however it will be the ruler of the smart contract coins.  I think Ethereum has cemented itself in the #2 position.  Every bounty I do uses Ethereum.  Not the other coins.  

You could use airdropalert.com however I feel like most of their airdrops have no value and you waste a lot of time filling out forms for no reason.  I have slowed down on airdrops in general and stick more with trading now.  It's much more profitable.
