Rating sites are not a panacea. Everyone knows that there you can easily buy a rating for any project.
I don’t know how things are now, maybe rating sites have become more serious structures, but of all the rating sites that I used, only one showed a stable and high-quality result. This site is icodrops.com
However, I am much more willing to enter a project that is on rating sites than not.

What you wrote about is called "How to Reduce Risks When Investing in Cryptocurrency." Security is about something else.
Even the criteria you listed do not guarantee you that everything will be fine with your investments. Take, for example, the Miracle Tele project, which is now changing the conditions and not doing very well with investors, although it has all the criteria you listed above.

I think we need more patience than we can imagine. Given the current dominance of bitcoin, which is not going to decline, we can see an even greater drop in altcoins in the near future.
Which in turn can lead to unpleasant consequences in the form of panic sales.

It is strange that your list does not have the Huobi crypto exchange and such a wonderful exchange as Okex. Both provide margin trading opportunities, have an excellent reputation and an excellent interface.
I advise you to look at them and, if you want, add to the list.

IEO expands the boundaries of the exchange. The larger the project conducting the IEO on the exchange, the more attention is riveted to it, which means the more people will want to participate in it,
which will lead to an influx of new users to the exchange, which means the influence and popularity of the exchange will increase.

What is the main goal of all exchanges, not only cryptocurrency exchanges? This is earnings. Earnings on the commission. And the more volumes the more commissions.
Each new large IEO is accompanied by excessive demand, which leads to good trading volumes of the new coin almost immediately after listing.

Different blockchains - different transaction speeds. If you are not happy with the speed of the blockchain that you use, exchange it for another one,
thank God everyone on any major exchange can exchange one cryptocurrency for another without much difficulty.

In general, if scammers use other people's photos from the network, it is not so difficult to determine. It is much more difficult to determine the legitimacy of the project if all the team members are real, have their own profiles in social networks, and actively communicate with the community.
In this case, as a rule, the search for isitina ceases. But, you need to understand that any team can have behind its backs a not-so-clean story.
And often scam projects are identified by ascertaining what the team leaders did before.

I like what decadent mood prevails on the forum. Many people are worried about the state of altcoins, and they prophesy their fall into an even greater abyss.
"Will they ever come back?"
I really like these questions, and the more people ask them the better. After all, this is the very first and surest sign that growth is just around the corner.

It works that way. When the price is low, no one knows what heights Bitcoin can still reach, which means buying it can be dangerous.
As soon as the price has risen, and even so high and unexpectedly, the mistake immediately becomes apparent, you had to buy then.
Accordingly, after the collapse of the price, no one knows when it will grow again and whether it will grow at all.
Funny situation .

Global disasters come in all sorts and sizes. The economic crisis, to some degree, can also be considered a global catastrophe, it all depends on scale.
In this case, it is likely that a strong outflow of capital will be in cryptocurrency.
In the event of an environmental disaster, anything can be.

I think cryptocurrency is an ideal way to transfer money in which you can remain anonymous. So all the dark things, such as sponsoring criminal gangs, buying illegal goods and so on, will use cryptocurrency as a means of transferring funds. Will the identification procedure help against all this? I don’t think, considering how many documents are illegally sold on the dark net.

The cryptocurrency market is not simple. Every solution that at first glance seems most effective may not be one in the future. But this does not mean that you should blame yourself for the wrong decisions.
All decisions are correct, they are made to the extent of the information that we own, which means that at the time of making the decision we consider it the most optimal.
It makes no sense to blame yourself for whatever the outcome.

I think about it all the time. I don’t understand why the heads of all countries behave so barbarously. If humanity is so many years old, then it seems to me speculation, then how slowly it develops in interpersonal relationships. There are still wars, trade wars, endless sanctions that affect the lives of ordinary people who are not even interested.

It would be, to put it mildly, not very. After all, people need something to pay for goods and services, and if the state does not support the national currency,
it will quickly depreciate and foreign currency will go into the country, which will have to be borrowed from outside, which, in turn, is very harmful the economy of the country taking the debt.

If you think about it, almost all the financial systems of the world are bubbles, with more or less high stability. The more active the bubble, the more resources it requires, the more difficult it is to supply it, which means that sooner or later it must burst. And as a rule, after this, a new bubble appears, and so on in a circle.

Never and under no circumstances transfer money to projects. Take into account statistics, more than 80% of scam projects, which means that even without a detailed check,
your money can fall into the hands of scammers. Be carefull. Strong projects will never ask you for money.

There is a good rule that says that if you want to minimize risks in trading, open only long positions, and never short.
And as we all know, there is no better time for such positions as a bull run.

Try margin trading on the Binance and Huobi exchanges. One of my favorite exchanges where I started trading regularly. The main thing is not to forget to study the theory well in order to understand what you are dealing with.

I think cash will be in use for a very long time. The planet is not developing evenly, and in large cities there are always many foreigners who come to work.

I often use them when I tip, or buy jokes.
