Many people say that you should work hard if you want to succeed in life and rise to riches. I'd rather say that working hard will only make your boss richer, not yourself. On the other hand, there is an age-old adage which says that you should be working smarter, not harder. But working smarter is a vague idea, and I'm interested to hear what people have to say on this topic. As far as I'm concerned, I think that working smart comes down to creating environment where you will have more chances to meet Lady Luck smiling at you, where you will be able to hit a lucky strike because luck plays an ever-important role in our lives. For example, if you want to find a date to have a romantic relationship with or you are looking for a one-night stand only, you will go to a beach or a bar since your chances are higher there, right? The same approach seems to be applicable to work as well. In other words, stick around the places where your chances of success are the highest.
So share your opinions here, guys. What is your practical take on working smart?
I've heard in crypto specifically this statement is even more relevant. Working hard will not make you as many profits as working smart will. In Crypto I would say educating yourself on the fundamentals of long/short-term investing/trading, macro/micro influences, news, staying connecting through networking to hear about the latest from other informed people insider type of information, and doing your fundamental due diligence on investments is what it means to work smart in Crypto. |

Very informative thread, but you forgot to mention one of the biggest decentralized market places available- Waves exchange,which works the same as etherdelta works with Ethereum contracts but with Waves contracts, I don't really like the platform because of the UI, but it usually has a decent amount of volume so it could fit for trading.
I believe that we, as a community, should advertise and tell our close friends about Decentralized exchanges, and maybe donate funds for advertising programs, it could really change the world of cryptocurrencies as we would be immune for exchanges hacks and frauds.
We transfer funds at a decentralized system, why wouldn't we convert funds at a decentralized exchanges?
This is very true of decentralized exchanges like EtherDelta where the UI is terrible. I believe in this ICO : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3085831.msg31823480#msg31823480The designer and coder both individually have over 30 years experience and their aim is to provide a secure exchange with a user friendly UI that will bring in the masses into crypto. A project I believe in being that the coder has so much experience in financial markets with exchanges. |

Sounds like a good idea, I think video interviews with the charity will show who they are and create trust showing faces on the camera of who you and the charity are. Also creating the escrow would be a way to show that youre not trying to take all the money and run. Marketing in general with lots of Q&A videos will be very helpful. Hope this wrap idea works bc thats def. an in trend nowadays with vehicles and to combine that with crypto could be a success for all of us getting the word out there to be like free marketing for us all to expose more people to crypto.

I believe fiat will always be around as long as governments are in control. That being said I believe they will integrate certain coins with use cases into their framework as crypto is massively adopted. An ICO I believe in whose goal is to lead Crypto into massive adoption is : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3085831.msg31823480#msg31823480 Once massively adopted you would have a hybrid system that ran on both fiat and crypto for certain things it's massively adopted for. |

Some people invest some if not all of thier asset in bitcoin. They are lured by its growing up value its equivalent to fiat currency but is bitcoin really safe and secure.? What do you think.,
All Crypto is speculative however if you believe in the underlying blockchain tech and you choose to assume the risk of the investment in the coin then the safest most secure way is to store your digital assets off of the exchange in cold storage where you have full control of your private keys. This ICO's exchange allows you the ability to control your private keys securely off their exchange while targeting to bring the masses into crypto which would make this new market more stable for us all. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3085831.msg31823480#msg31823480 |

Everyone would like the bitcoin is accepted in all online and real stores and, as as mentioned in the title, what would happen if Bitcoin became a legal currency?
The world would become a better place where things were transparent, honest and less corrupt. I commend this ICO for targeting the masses adoption of Crypto and presenting a solution to that problem that I believe can work. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3085831.msg31823480#msg31823480 |

Hi there.
I am wanting to make my own exchange.
Can you tell me some requirements I need to have in order to make one?
Do I need any legal documents in order to make my exchange?
Here is an exchange ICO I like because they are doing something new with arbitrage trading and their focus is to bring in the masses. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3085831.msg31823480#msg31823480 |

How do you think, when governments of countries are going to start using blockchain technologies in international agreements? Can smartcontracts protect from falsity on that level?
I would say in the future that blockchain tech. would be fully integrated into societies in all aspects including government. The distributed ledger will keep things publicly visible so there can be no falsity. I believe this ICO will lead the masses into crypto: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3085831.msg31823480#msg31823480Once the masses adopt crypto then you will see the blockchain tech quickly integrate into all forms of society if it hasn't already. |

Does it make sense to believe that Bitcoin could one day be replaced by another cryptocurrency, that is, a cryptocurrency that really does make Bitcoin obsolete?
Granted that Bitcoin is the oldest, first and underlying coin of the original blockchain technology 1.0 I would believe that it will always have it's place in the crypto space. However, comparing this point in time in crypto to say the early 90's with the .com bubble people didn't know which company would survive and thrive after the burst. Therefore it could be the Microsoft or big winner like that but we still don't know yet, and to try and say otherwise is pure speculation. |

As these exchange sites are dropping BTC, all our altcoins are going dead. This is not fair. This is cheating.
I feel your frustration right now, just HODL is the best advice I've been given. Regarding exchanges here's one that I support what they are doing by leading in the masses through arbitrage trading that would settle the volatility issue we have in this market, which is what keeps so much money on the sidelines. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3085831.msg31823480#msg31823480 |

Recent news that Congress will be having this hearing 3/14 as more of an educational lesson on how the market and ICO's work. I'm curious how this will affect and influence their regulation going forward and what any outcomes will be. Do you think it will be detrimental or productive? https://www.coindesk.com/us-congress-discuss-icos-hearing-next-week/ |

I have a question.
What is better? To keep your coins on some Exchange site or to open wallets for each coin?
I would like to hear some advice. What are pros & cons of each option?
Thanks
Keeping private keys is better bc you don't have to worry about the exchange being hacked, being gone the next day because you are in control of your security. An alternative to using an exchange that holds private keys for you is keeping control over the private keys yourself and using a trading platform. Here is a company that is doing just that. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3085831.msg31823480#msg31823480 |

I will share some tips on choosing a good ICO, the following tips:
1. Look for the most recent ICO, whose followers directly booming.
2. Note the type of project, choose a project that you think is different, and can be useful for many people.
And Remember!, any type of project if there is no promotion certainly the project will not succeed, therefore you as a bounty participant do not just work in formality only, you should really think for the promotion of projects that you share in social media work effectively, so you must make surethat every post about the project, the post should really be seen by your people/followers in social media.
Here is a very recent ICO and like you're saying they are going to be useful for the masses. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3085831.msg31823480#msg31823480 |

What are your criteria to choose a good ICO? I am looking a little bit around and found have some interesting ICO in mind but I am still not sure if to buy some coins or not. Actually there is for example this ICO running now: www.culturalplaces.com . Its about a new cryptocurrency called Cultural Coin and it should be used as an platform for culture and events. Ticketing should also be paid with the same cryptocurrency. This is for example a project which sounds interesting for me. But obviously there are others also. Would you choose this one or what are your most important ICO criteria? Thanks  It seems like a good project. I agree with you and also look for ICO's that solve an actual problem utilizing blockchain technology. Here's another one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3085831.msg31823480#msg31823480 |

The number of successful ICO's are decreasing dramatically. Just wanna know about successful ICO's in the fourth quarter of 2017 and if anybody still believes in ICO's.
By definition, ICO's are risky however you experience great return when you get involved early in a project that will is making huge moves. For example, the first Arbitrage exchange that will level volatility which will bring market stability and bring the masses into Crypto. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3085831.msg31823480#msg31823480 |

Is there still any legitimate ICO out there in this era where there are a lot of scammers and how would someone recognized a good ICO. Also any recommendations and why you think its reliable
Nowadays it is more important than ever to do your due diligence. Here is a recent ICO that I came across that stood out. I look for projects that solve bigger problems, especially when it comes to making Crypto mainstream. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3085831.msg31823480#msg31823480 |

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3085831.msg31823480#msg31823480As a case study, this is an example of a solid ICO because they have an actual use case that solves a real-world problem of getting the masses of people into crypto. In addition, they have a solid team with specifically exchange experience which is critical for their arbitrage exchange company they're creating. Finally, they have a comprehensive whitepaper, website, and explainer video. Hope this helps you guys in dissecting the researching process.

most of the time the majority of ppl have no idea on what they are "investing" in so they give all the good ICO's a bad name bc now many think they are all crap coins. Do your research ppl!
