Often times, people ask questions as to which best time to invest in altcoins or crypto coins. And I keep wondering if there is always a speculated time to invest in those coins. Early this year, I invested on one cryptocurrency. I was blamed seriously for investing on that particular coin at that particular time. This coin dumped till it almost disappeared from my wallet. I blamed myself continuously and I keep asking myself this question; is there any particular time to invest in these crypto coins? Please feel free to contribute your own opinion.

Now the cryptocurrency market is built in such a way that we keep our cryptocurrency until we feel that it has reached a price peak, and then we rush to sell it immediately in order to make a profit, that is, the difference between the price of the purchased and sold coin.

It seems to me that this is not a very convenient version of the cryptocurrency market. It turns us into greedy speculators who do not care about the project itself, for which the coin or token was created. It would be better if we had the opportunity to receive passive profits, dividends as a result of the retention of cryptocurrency. Then we would feel that we are co-owners of the project and would be interested in developing it.

We now see how very popular are ICO projects, such as Miracle Tele and others, which provide for such an opportunity. What do you think about this?

Saw this on twitter this morning from Roger Ver and I can't help but agree. Also interesting that he called out the Elixxir project in terms of competition. Does he mean against BTC?

KYC is done by most projects to comply to the government regulations. The projects are sometimes held accountable for transactions hence must be able to provide the identities of the individuals behind these transactions in order to avoid the issue of money laundering. KYC is also for verification purposes by the project in order to eliminate bot and double entries from participants.

I am holding a bag of useless illiquid tokens. So do millions of other people in our community. We must do something about it! So I decided to Pick up the gauntlet. I’m having meetings with projects leaders, big companies, and trading platform, trying to find the best solution for all of us. Would love to hear your situation, thoughts, and ideas.

Due to the high rates of scam that happened last year's where many scam projects Rose and caused much harm to the blockchain industry. It seems the rate of scam has reduced and recently due to government intervention and regulations. So basically ICOs have huge chances of survival and we will see how it goes when the market gets better

Joseph Stiglitz, a Nobel-Prize winning economist, says cryptocurrencies should be shut down. He worries that they enable illicit activity by making money transactions less transparent.

Still, he sees the value in digital payments systems and supports electronic use of government-backed currencies like the dollar.

“I’ve been a great advocate of moving to an electronic payments mechanism. There are a lot of efficiencies. I think we can actually have a better regulated economy if we had all the data in real time, knowing what people are spending,” he says.

This is a new section from https://dailyiconews.com named the Crypto Skepticism of the week, written by Jason Bloomberg. I copy and paste.

As the crypto world tries to go legit, various exchanges and other feeders from the bottom to the top of the crypto food chain are implementing Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) technologies.

If you think of yourself as a criminal, then you probably realize the glory days of crypto may be past. But what if you don’t? Will you run afoul of KYC or AML?

First of all, it’s unlikely anybody cares about small transactions. After all, you can bring up to $10,000 in cash or cash equivalents across international borders or deposit such amounts into bank accounts, no questions asked (I’m referring to US regulations here, but many other countries have similar laws).

But if you’re Scarface or Walter White and have millions in cash to deposit, no on-the-level bank in the world will take your dough. And if you think selling off your stake via hundreds of small transactions is the answer? Sorry, that’s illegal as well (in the US, anyway), even though people advise just such an approach.

Such is the problem holders (or hodlers) of large amounts of crypto are facing. Whether you earned your stash via an ICO or via early bets on crypto or any other means, you now have beaucoup bucks tied up in Bitcoin or your crypto of choice.

The only way to sell off your stash is via illegal means – in other words, by becoming a money launderer yourself.

Good luck even opening a bank account, let alone converting your crypto to fiat. You’ll need to prove how you got those coins, who you got them from, and how they got them, ad infinitum.

Only said crypto is pseudonymous – or if you hold Monero, perhaps truly anonymous. Passing KYC and AML checks is now virtually impossible. In the words of President Trump, you’re f*cked.

What’s the value of a stash of hundreds or thousands of Bitcoins if you can never convert them to fiat? Bupkis, that’s what.

If I can't find a bounty project that's already listed and trading I'm done joining bounties.
No matter how reasonable a project might be if the teams decided to stay anonymous I will pass by
Whitepapers and roadmaps aren't enough anymore,developers should be ready to face the public and be ready to show me they are ready to work ,not experimental on 'it might became success or failure .

"cross-border payments to offshore exchanges have grown 46% over the last two years, contributing to the $8.7 trillion,"

Aside from fraud, this is very interesting. This only means that crypto is NOW being used to transfer value/wealth more than ever.
Bypassing traditional ways of transferring value which is thru banks.

I think many unemployed youth working in Bounty at the present time are using their free time to earn income.
 What is your valuable opinion?

Currently I own a lot of altcoin, I bought them at ico. My account is being downgraded several times. There are many people who say bitcoin will continue to decrease, so altcoin prices also decreased compared to USDT. So now, should I sell them and wait for the price to buy back? Give me advice 

I think the U.S. sanction has something to do with Russia getting involved with funding Venezuela. They have started diversifying it's assets and of their choices is bitcoin. It seems that numbers of countries are starting to move away from depending on U.S. dollar and fining alternatives, and starting to consider bitcoin as one of it.

This will have a huge impact on not just bitcoin but also the whole crypto market.

Money is one of the important concepts, This section talks about money from the perspective of microeconomics.when people exchange goods and services without using money, this is called barter. "I'll cook dinner if you'll do the dishes" is an example of barter. Imagine an economy in wich i can sell services as a consultant to banks, but what i want is to buy a new suit. the clothing store that sell suits does not have any use for my services as a banking consultant. i sell consulting services for money, and i buy a suit using money. money serves as a medium of exchange. the bank does not sell suits. how can barter work?

This is a normal reaction of the state. which protects and will protect the use of its national paper money. Cash will always be in demand and will always go along with other types of means of payment. As long as states exist, until then there will be their cash paper money. In addition, the poorest strata of society and citizens with various health flaws will always support the circulation of cash.
