Even though I've wanted to puke multiple times seeing this massive crash, I actually went and bought more of my favorite coins, and also bitcoins. There's a lot of blood in the streets now. This is a massive buying opportunity. This video helped me a lot. It's a massive relief watching it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZlDpQpC2pMAlso if you want a short 1 minute video giving you some laughter and also relief. Go watch this one! it's really great xD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbZ8zDpX2Mg |

It's all speculation, and sadly we don't decide where it's headed.
Still, I hope, and I believe that we already reached the bottom of the year. 350 billion.
It's hard to not get emotional when the market fluctuates this much.
Stay strong everyone, we're in this together.

ETH has been on a long uptrend compared to BTC lately.
So I'd say ETH will reach 1 trillion first.
The ETH network is so huge, with all the tokens and whatnot.
There's always going to be a demand for ETH. Think about it.
More and more addresses will have ETH on them. And ETH is limited.

I just sold some coins and invested in DADI.
Wow what a ride!
Even though this ICO had a personal hard cap of $5,000,
and had a total hard cap of $25,000,000, it sold out in less than an hour! That is insane!
First of all, the site crashed and I was unable to access the contract address.
After waiting for the site to respond (after about 15 minutes) I got the address and prepared to send my 2 ETH.
I put in the maximum gwei allowed (99), and 200,000 maximum gas.
After 10 minutes it got confirmed, and it had used up 134,800 gas. Phew! That was a bit sweaty.
I got nervous that it would run out of gas, but it turned out OK.
At the time of writing, the contact address has received more than 30,000 transactions. and it's still increasing at a rapid pace.
But after about 15,000 transactions, it started rejecting the transactions due to already reaching the hard cap.
They have already announced on twitter and telegram and their homepage that it's sold out, but people are still desperately trying to invest.
I'm relieved that it rejects the transactions, but it's still a lot of gas being used.
This is really insane, considering the personal hard cap.
I believe this token will skyrocket once it reaches exchanges. I am heavily excited for this.

From your list I see 2 good projects: Current and Medicalchain They both have a good rating on many of the ICO-trackers. And their telegram channels have a large number of participants and activity  Thanks for this, I've looked at it. A small part of me wants to invest, and a small part of me don't. Since they are only selling 50% of the tokens. It's giving me the same vibe as Gems, only selling 25% of the tokens. Just because something looks nice on the website, and they have a lot of telegram users doesn't mean it's gonna succeed. It's just good marketing and has usually got something to do with referrals or pre-sale bonuses or pre-sale tasks to earn free stuff. Everyone loves free stuff. But freebies are also usually dumped pretty hard. Still, I have decided to join the token sale. Overall the product looks good. Also, I'm running a bit short on ETH atm, and I'm having trouble getting enough to invest into Dadi tomorrow. I could sell some coins, but I have faith in too many of them. My biggest coin in my portfolio is XRB, and there's no way I'm selling a single coin of that with so many good things coming for it in the upcoming weeks. |

I have decided to not invest into Arcblock and Gems. You will find my reasons in the OP.
These are my thoughts of them. If you disagree, that is fine. I can very well be wrong.
I've learned a lot the past couples of weeks looking at ICO's.
I'm sure I still make mistakes, and we will see in a year if I made any good / bad choices.
Only time can tell. But for now I'm threading carefully. Potential is everywhere. You only need to spot them before it's too late.

From the start I've been kinda worried about Arcblocks.
Many people talk good about it, yet they have no product and are selling Erc-20 tokens.
They're supposed to be blockchain 3.0, but right now you will get tokens, which you must trade against the real product later..
when it's ready.. after the ICO.. of which they receive a lot of money..
I'm not spreading FUD, I'm just trying to give insights.
I think it's safer to invest in ICO's that either have an actual product ready.
Or have a very good plan, exposure and most importantly, a great team with experience.

Will the Merit System be supported to an ERC20 Token? Would be nice to trade this on an Exchange
No, it won't. It has nothing to do with token. I am pretty sure that was a joke. And a pretty good one at that  I'd give merit, if I could! I like the system, I just hope it works. I'm trying to add good posts in this community, but I'm not sure that I am in the right part of the forum to get merited (Altcoin discussion and announcements) We'll see, we'll see. |

So after Gems announced how they are handling their ICO, I'm gonna pull out of that mess. I won't criticize anyone participating, but I'm not touching an ICO that runs a Dutch auction of only 25% of total tokens. I guess this is a prime example of an ICO that looks really great, and then takes a giant turd. Instead I'll allocate more ETH into other upcoming ICO's  |

Icos are very good but we have to know how to differentiate beetween a good project and a scam. If you invest at the beggining you will make for sure tons of money. I will invest on any good project I see on 2018 and use the money from mining and past ICOS earnings to reinvest.  Yeah that's what I'm gonna do as well, reinvest my earnings (or losses) from the ICO's I participate in and reinvest them in good ICO's this year. It's becoming hard to tell which ICO are good and which are bad, because it's pretty easy to make it look professional nowadays. Also they can copy from an old ICO and it'll be hard to notice. |

I was addicted too sometimes  I'm got out of it after some unsuccessful investments That's unfortunate. Might I ask what you invested in? Oh, and I've changed the OP a bit again, just to point out certain things about my investments in ICO. And I've noticed many of you comment about my title. So I changed it too. Addiction is not a word one should be using casually, so I decided to remove it. Being addicted to something is a concerning and sad thing, I didn't mean to offend anyone that is or has a friend who has a serious addiction. |

From your picks I'm in DADI too. But also in PM7, TravelFlex, Storiqa and KYC Legal.
From upcoming I would pick Gems, Nucleus Vision, WePower and Arcblock.
Thanks everyone for your comments and recommendations. I'll look into all ICO's mentioned. I've seen Gems before, but didn't have any date on it. Gems is looking really great, and they have a huge support already (48k people on their telegram) I strongly believe that huge demand often brings huge returns, if their ICO is good, which it looks like. So I've decided to add Gems on my planned list for now. Maybe Nucleus Vision too. |

That's a sound investment of yours, sir. How about investing on Beluga Pay? They have working products already and their concept is quite advance in the Point of Sale category which i think is a promising project.
I've seen it before, and I might actually invest a small amount. I need to read more on it. Thanks for the tip |

I changed a bit in the OP.
I'm hopeful about 2018 and how it'll bring so many new people and companies into blockchain technology.
Therefore I believe a lot of ICO's will be successful in the near future.
Let's check the status of my investments during the coming months.
I will update as soon as I invest in another ICO or when a previously ICO's token become available on exchanges.

Dadi (2.5 Eth) Worst thing that you can do, dadi is a scammy project, they have a copied/pasted whitepaper from SONM. If you are looking to join, better to find another one instead of putting your funds in there. Iti is too risky.- I know about that incident. But one bad thing does not stop me from investigating further, so I've read more upon it, read their response and medium post about it, and made my decision to still trust them. I don't judge a whole ICO by a small silly thing as a 300 word copy. This happens everyday, and a reference is usually added, but was missed this time around. But I might lower my Eth contribution actually, I've just found another 2 ICO's I want to take part of. So I'll readjust it to: LiveStars (1 Eth) Dadi (2 Eth) Current (1 Eth) Medicalchain (1 Eth) Lympo (1 Eth) And that's gonna be it for ICO's. Gotta tune it down a notch lol. Edit: Oh, and I'm also invested in SONM a bit. Right now it's my worst performing coin in my portfolio, but I'll keep it around. |

EDIT: Investing in ICO are HIGHLY RISKY.
I'm not trying to encourage anyone else to invest in ICO's.
Please research for yourself and make your own decision.
I am currently only investing what I've gained in cryptocurrency.
I would never risk gambling what I can't afford to lose. And you shouldn't either.
The year is 2018, and I believe this will be the biggest year so far for cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.
Bitcoin, Ethereum and other altcoins are getting exposure like never seen before.
A lot of people want to jump on the bandwagon, a lot of companies and people want to adopt this technology.
That's why I strongly believe that the good ICO's of 2018 will bring fortunes for many people.
And so starts my experiment. I will invest in a series of ICO's and post my results here.
My plan is to HODL for as long as I can handle. I might cash out earlier than planned if there's a huge gain.
I will update this thread of my returns on each and every ICO.
Below you will find my current status.

I haven't earned a thing yet, but I'm eager to join bounties and airdrops after reading this topic. The hard thing I think is to predict what coins are going to be successful. Right now I'm doing HOQU bounty in both signature and social media, hopefully that gives me something |
