upvotes.io has delivered consistent service and their team literally doesn't sleep lol. There have been some issues along the way, but overall great service!

At the end of the day it really depends whether a project has intrinsic value. To find out, you can't leave a single stone un-turned which means you absolutely have to make sure that the project you invest in is not just some vaporware after its launch...

 2018 projects like Menlo One are barely noticed around here, but I am convinced that it will soon gain mass adoption and could even possibly not drop in price after its token sale. Here's the interview that got me convinced featuring Menlo One's CEO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rw1QBpBYE6o

Not sure why Menlo One hasn't been mentioned yet in this thread, but I believe that it's one of the top upcoming ICOs for 2018.

I'm saving some funds to participate in an upcoming sale this July for Menlo Tokens. Has anyone heard about this and its Menlo.one ico platform? This interview video of Menlo's ceo suggests that this project is pretty great and is gonna solve most problems that retail ICO investors face https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rw1QBpBYE6o Any thoughts?

I would say trading is better than investing, but you will need to learn and master how to do so which takes time. Investing is simply just throwing in your money without much use of technical analysis which could have you buying at the peak which won't maximize your gains.

If most of your funds are stuck in Bitcoin, you could lighten up some of that load and invest in other assets. Otherwise, you can continue to hold but avoid buying more while price still continues to go even lower.

It's good that you enjoyed your day trade session. However,  eventually you will go through all sorts of emotions as you gain more experience.

Worst case scenario is if Bitcoin doesn't recover. That's why we need to have multiple income streams if possible.

I was planning to invest in waves. But since this thread came up, I have a quick question about coin choices. Which one is better: Waves, Doge, Clams, Burst?

I don't expect to win with more than a thousand re-tweets lol. I do like BTK, its highly active & passionate dev team and hope that it will be considered as part of PayBear's accepted coins soon...

Wouldn't building a bank make Bitcoin centralized? Although banks have certain advantages like insurance, being decentralized has equal or if not better advantages since it is virtually unhackable.

The max loss I experienced was 30% and I had no choice but to cut rather than hope and wait for price to rise.. I have been hoping since my loss was 5% until it got to -30%.. 

$1,000 is too low a drop.. If it happens, Bitcoin may never gain the same trust and support it had.. Also, this could only happen if another coin surpasses it in terms of overall value and demand.

Predictions are all made up and are gotten from the creative side of the brain... They are not to be taken seriously and are non-factors in the actual price action of all coins.

While we don't really enjoy paying taxes, it actually benefits us if we take a look at the big picture since our govts use our taxes to improve every publicly owned property.

while btc has recovered a bit, it is hard to tell whether it's the end of the correction or not... stay safe by not buying the dips

I admit that we've got pretty heavy selling volume for the past days, and the best way to keep safe is sell and wait for traders, or hold and keep buying gradually for long term investors.

There seems to be no bad news, but I'm currently 12% down on my XRP T_T Is it best to just cut my losses here wait?? Any advice will be appreciated.

Seriously, I don't know where he got the information, but they are all wrong. Also, buying the price of Eth now doesn't make one stupid. I agree that it takes a trader to understand these kinds of stuff.

I think miners will need Bitcoin price to rise for it to be profitable since I last heard that the difficulty increased again.
