This is a definitely a scam. I didn't even need to read too far before knowing this. An investment that is acclaimed to be 100% secured, is not one to give any thought. Scams are perpetrated in banks too, so I'm not even fazed

In disseminating information, it's either you're giving full disclosure or you don't do it at all. One is just gonna click a random link because you posted it, especially in these times where there are phishing sites all over the space. I hope no one falls victim and clicks on it

The subsisting laws in the country you'll be operating from is what matters, as it will determine if you'll be able to operate with/without a license. In countries that aren't really crypto friendly, you might have a hard time operating in those places.

Most of the ICOs aren't fluid enough to pay bounty hunters in any other coin other than their tokens, so it's easier for them to make payments with their native tokens. Moreso, paying in their tokens is also a subtle way of promoting their tokens. This is why scam ICOs get away with anything, because all they do is issue thrash tokens in exchange for the real coins

In analyzing the team of an ICO, you look out for the following;

1. Do they have the requisite skills and experience to execute the project.
2. Look out for their LinkedIn profiles and how active it is. If they have other companies or projects they claim to have worked on, check to confirm they're real projects out there and not some fictitious ones.
3. Do some background check by doing a Google search of their names, especially the executives to see if they've involved in a fraud in the past or associated with any scam project(s)

These are some of the basic things to look out for in a team,  thought it might not be exhaustive

The crypto space is full of lies and deceits and it's very important for people to understand that it's very easy for these devs to make claims that are not verifiable. Bitdepositary claim their token is backed by Gold, has anyone actually confirmed this claim?

Well, without flinching I'll invest the money in Bitcoin. I know it's not good putting all of one's eggs in one basket, but sometimes some eggs are worth putting in one. Faced with the choice IOTA and BTC, I'm going all in on BTC. Buying BTC now means I'm going to stagger my buys as well.

From one scam coin to another and it's amazing how people keeping falling victim of losing money to such schemes. I've never invested a dime in Dogecoin and I never will. I do not know any use case it has and as such I stay away from it.

I'm equally hodling all the MWAT I bought during the ICO and it's one of the coins I've not thought of selling at all. Curious to see how the platform launch pans out and the impact on the coin especially in this bears market

Not sure it's very good idea shorting in this bears season except you're a professional trader.
There are huge chances of getting rekt especially through leverage trading.
Should you decide to go ahead and try your luck out, be very careful.

While Bakkt was very vital in triggering a bull run, not sure it was the reason for the current depressed state of the market. The Bitcoin Cash war played a very big role in further causing a drop in the market as it forced a lot of sell offs

Litecoin didn't pull the strings we expected it to. Fuck it, even Charlie Lee sold all his coins. That's passing a vote of no confidence on your own project. For now, I don't really rate altcoins, I'll rather focus on BTC

Can't say I'm exactly happy the bull run isn't happening this year (and who says it can't happen in December?), at least to cushion the effect of the losses most people have suffered already.

NEO is a great project and got some good projects launched on it's platform. Like every other coin, it's gotten its share of the bears market. I'm only worried about it's rate of price crash and how much it has dipped. Might as well take a while for it to bounce back to it ATH

This is wisdom right here. It's hard to keep up with one and every project out there, as tons of projects get launched in this space everyday. Sticking to a few with huge potentials is the way to go.

Again, I do not regret getting involved in crypto, my only regret is not getting in much earlier when I was first told about it.

If you don't see the future in alts, then it's worthless being in this space at all. It's a given that a lot of alts are worthless and won't serve any major uses. But you also need to understand that there are alt projects with use cases and real world application. There's a lot more useful alts than gambling and e-betting

2017 was undoubtedly the best year for crypto, a year that every shit or useful coin out fast in during their ICOs, a year that projects had no difficulty selling out their tokens, a year that saw the best scams in crypto history, and a year that gave people unspeakable profits from little investments, a year that saw so many coins reaching their ATHs

And you're partly right. It sort of explains why BCHSV is currently pumping. Just checked on Binance now and it's currently sitting on a whopping 75% at $117. Now this is what we call manipulation. He's succeeding in crashing the price of BTC and Bitcoin maximalists aren't doing nothing about it.

It's actually a smart thing way to go about it if you ask me. But if then again, in the end, they're all influenced by the price of Bitcoin. BCHSV is currently $115 on Binance and I think some FOMO is causing the price to surge
