Even in my experience with bitcoin, it has really becoming an asset because most of the people having bitcoin are treating it like an asset, thats the reason why instead of using it to purchase something, people are holding it and waiting for the price to go high to sell. Another thing is that paying with bitcoin has large fee and delay, so cant really use it as currency.

Well its been a long time that the market has been red and I think most of the holders are already trusting the market. The panic buying is over and the we wait for the prices to go to the moon and celebrate afterwards.

Some could not be paid due to negative trust rating happening during the entire time of the ICO. There are also cases that the ICO itself is closed dur to failure to reach its cap, and some are just plain scam from the start.

Yes eth is starting to recover and the hopes are high that this will continue till the year end. In that case a thousand dollar will be reached and there will be so many who invested and had faith in ethereum will be happy. I was lucky to have bought with the $390 price. Now Im waiting and watching my money grow every minute.

Yeah its so sad that you cant really rely on those ICO rating sites anymore because usually they are paid by the ICO itself. There was one time I followed and ICO through and ICO rating site and I was confused they said that the ICO was in the top 5, but the ann thread is so silent. Once I was also scammed and not paid.

Yeah you could say that the best in day trading is through altcoins, because they are more volatile and have very high tendency to rise or drop depending on the coins.

I think this is the next thing the governments will do since they growing of cryptoworld is inevitable. So we can all expect that regulations for crypto will surely follow in the future, nothing less.

Everyone is holding their coins in even though there are time that the prices are so hopeless because they are hoping that somewhat, the prices will be rising in the future making them a great fortune. I think this is the main reason why holders do this/.

I feel you bro, this has happened to me also and the saddest thing is that I think I was consecutively participating in ICOs that are either scam or failure. There was once that is not scam, but the payout is as you said, its just cents after weeks of hard work, but thats how it really works. Just continue to join maybe sometime we'll get lucky.

Yeah I've been buying altcoins like ethereum, as number one, then I got ripple and ada. I never invested in ICO though because the risk is very high and I don't want my money to be lost when the ICO suddenly disappear.

Last year, I think it was best during August, when the coins are down. This year is February to first week of April, when there is a long streak of red in the market. For the moment, the cryptos are starting to climb uphill, so best wait for another chance .

I would let them think whatever they want to think, and later when Im rich and my coins are worth a fortune already, Id laugh at them. They could never understand unless they join this forum though.

Nothing is still too certain with this. Because I think counties are not really yet sure on what to do with the current surge of popularity of bitcoin, anything can still change depending on situations.

Compared to previous years, bitcoin has been more popular than ever since btc started going out in the news and more people are aware about. Atcoins in the other hand, nobody outside cryptoworld knows they exist, so the first thing a new investor buys when joining in crypto is of course bitcoin, altcoins later on.

Then we'll finally see what happens to the project when the all th airdrops are done. There are also allegations that deeponion is a scam, because recent airdrops needs you to have enough deeponion coins to participate. Hopefully the project goes well.

As long as you are able to sell your free coin from airdrops, yes it is profitable since you don not need any capital for it, only profit you'll get. But the problem is can you sell it? Since there are so many airdrops that just dumps their shitcoin in your wallet and abandon the project.

Nice list you got there. But I think it should have been better if you have posted this in the help and beginners section too since mostly newbies need the airdrops more than the higher rank members because they already knew that most of the airdrops now are scam. If there are legit and paying, they give too little amount though.

Anyone or any website asking you for private keys and wallet addresses should be avoided at all costs. That is one clear sign that you are being phished or scammed. Be careful also to trading sites that requires you to enter your keys (like etherdeta and forkdelta), there are some sites pretending to be them too.

The best way to avoid an ICO scam is to avoid any participation in ICOs at all. If you are afraid to be scammed in ICO, because I think there a more scam ICO than the legit ones, then avoid it and just trade, or buy coins already in the market for a less riskier investment.

 I prefer bounty than investing if we are talking bout ICO. Since there are so many scams in ICO or failure to those even legit, you cannot assure your money if you invest. But if you join in bounties, even if the ICO is a scam or a failure, you don't lose your money anyway, so you just find another one.
