I'm not messing with ICOs until they go through Menlo One's review/ICO marketplace system. Rating websites like ICObench or ICOrating are generally useful, but not 100% accurate since I've joined some of their recommend projects which turned out to be empty promises.

good choices esp Menlo Tokens as they are not merely for hodling, but are mainly used to purchase positions in ICOs they list. My instincts tell me that this project will be a huge hit especially since it's the first ever decentralized ICO marketplace..

Being able to set buys even before launch is a pretty sweet feature imo. I remember one time I had to wake up at 3am for an ICO that started at 5am just so I won't miss it!  Are you guys able to disclose the minimum amount that can be bought during your token sale?

I'm perplexed as to why Menlo One doesn't have that many mentions here in bitcointalk while it's a hot topic everywhere else... It just announced its token sale launch this July and I really think it's gonna be worth it, given that it will be the first ever ICO marketplace run by good devs. This is a video of Korean Jew interviewing Menlo one's CEO where they discuss details of the project https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=884&v=Rw1QBpBYE6o

Yeah ICOs are very risky investments nowadays not only because of scams, but also because their security hasn't really been tested yet.

There's an upcoming token sale for Menlo One https://www.menlo.one that aims to build a decentralized ICO marketplace to hopefully solve this problem. Its whitepaper explains how it can be done, but I'd like to hear your opinion if this project is worth our investment? I've watched a couple of interviews of its founder and he does seem sincere and knows what he is doing though..

I think some have excellent white papers, but still end up badly due to either bad admin decisions or for being scams in the first place.

Out of 100 ICOs, about 5 or even more of them can turn out to be the either one mentioned above. Social platforms censoring "real" opinions or known personalities paid to market shit coins is making the word ICO look bad.


On the other hand, has anyone else noticed this upcoming platform/token sale? https://www.menlo.one I think this will be a game changer as it aims to expose scam/vaporware with its unique reward system. Haven't had time to go into details of this project, but was hoping someone could give me a tldr if this is could possibly be a good project to participate in?

True.. some coins were just made to scam people and then close down as soon as devs get their desired amount. Some coins end up dead because of bad decisions..


Here's a website that will help you determine which ICOs are good to invest in or not https://www.menlo.one They will soon launch this coming July to become the very first ICO marketplace wherein you can easily find the good and bad ICOs based on unbiased community discussions (contributors get paid to make honest posts). It's the first of its kind and hopefully, will lessen the number of scams in crypto as well as make it easier to spot good ICOs.

Don't we still need to use payment gateways like how we use Paypal or credit cards for our purchases online? Do you mean merchants are able to do without using payment gateways?

My strategy is to continuously buy every month and never fail to do so. Also, I don't care what current price is, I just buy.. It's not a very smart nor is it the best strategy out there but it works long term especially with good asset selection.

I bet it's the same old pump and dump play.. Unless there's special news that would keep price on the moon? 

$300-$500 should be a good start for you to get the feel of it. As you learn you can gradually increase your investment size so long as you don't recklessly base your decisions on extreme emotions.

Don't forget that it could go either way. Price could break down instead of break out. 

it WAS a very good investment until now... We need to wait for all its issues to clear up before we can say that it's good to dive back in again. You can take the risk now, but it's probably not a good idea.

The chart still doesn't say much. Unless we see price go above $10k and holding with volume, then we could say that we are back on track.

Eth has a very stable price action compared to most other cryptos which investors like. On top of that, it is decentralized and pretty much secure just like Bitcoin.

If I get to live forever with a loved one, or better, my entire family, I would choose to do so. Otherwise, dying someday sounds more exciting and gives meaning to it all.

Obviously, a lot of new comers get victimized by the buy high sell low due to hype and uneducated trades. It's the trend for all beginners until they learn  the hard way. I learned it the hard way too.

Some really think that traders are very busy, but actually it's the other way around since for swing or position traders, it's requires you to hold for some time and when your funds are currently invested, there's nothing much to do.

I learned the basics in stock trading and stayed for over 2 years.. When I found out that forex and crypto trading is very much similar, I decided to give them a try and found that cryptos trading is very much similar, although with higher potential gains.

By far, I think Bitcoin is the most trusted of all crypto coins. Although it is now expensive and takes time to confirm transactions, most people prefer security over speed and price.
