I believe ethereum is still one of the best projects to buy right now, irrespective of how much it has dropped, it is still a long way ahead of blockchain like NEO,EOS, Stratis, TRX etc.
Ethereum dumped hard but if the make trends over the past year is something to go by, it will also respond similarly Tia positive prove change evident in its alternative positions with ripple XRP

8 months after this topic was created, the cryptocurrencies market is still falling. It goes to show that The growth in Q4 2017 is based on hype and FOMO and we are still in a correction period.

I think the market is a little more stable now but the dump is not over just yet.
It will take some time and significant news to cause a lasting change

The best investment in the year 2019 in my personal opinion is still the top cryptocurrencies. The lower rated cryptocurrencies may possess a good ROI potential due to their low market caps but in reality the top 50 cryptocurrencies provide better stability and assurance compared to the rest.

Different projects have adopted different listing strategies in order to avoid the dump after listing but, this strategies have both successful and failure results.
I think dumping after listing depends on the project itself, how good it is and how the token metrics rate in the community.

All blockchains that run on Pow are vulnerable to a malicious attack called the "51% attack". A 51% attack is possible when a mining pool is able to attain more than 50% of the whole hashrate in a particular blockchain's network. When a mining pool or miner gains this, they will be able to rewrite the blockchain ledger (blockchain reorganization) and then steal the native cryptocurrency of that blockchain through an act called a "double spend".

51% attacks is practically impossible on the ETH blockchain because of how large tge blockchain is and the fact that only a 5% of the 51% hashrate needed for attack the blockchain is available online.

Totally true, I think the 2017 bull run has deceived a lot of investors to think that bull runs will come often.
I doubt that a bull rub will happen in 2019, although the approval of ETF and bakkt may bring more stability to the market but I doubt there will be astronomical surgery in prices like there was in Q4 2017.

I strongly disagree with this statement that neo will surpass ethereum.
Neo is a good project but the blockchain is still miles behind ethereum in terms of usability and ease of developing dApps.
Also dapps and other neo blockchain projects have not been as successful as ethereum based erc20 tokens.

Ethereum will perform great in a good market and vice versa in the bad market especially since most tokens are based on the ethereum blockchain.
Altcoins are not performing well at the moment and ethereum feel the impact when these tokens get dumped on exchanges.
I know ethereum will rise again in a bull market.

Price manipulation is still a reality of the crypto market and I see it continuing that way for some time until some regulations are introduced to protect investors against it.
The market hasn't found bottom yet and will still go lower if BTC breaks the $3.6k resistance level

This is a big problem for holders of different coins or token because keeping track can be a demanding task.
Sometimes in order to check on all my tokens telegram groups and be updated with the latest updates and developments, I spend hours reading through these groups.

The best strategy is to own but a few cryptos and that you will be able to track conveniently.

The important thing is to know that, you don't necessarily have your own hundred of coins. All you need are a couple of good and valuable cryptos and then you will be set for the bull market.
This is the best time to buy low and self high later.
Bitcoin, ethereum and some top cryptos will be my pick

Low prices doesn't really matter that much, you have to compare the ico price, historical price analysis and the all time high to determine if a coin or token is worth investing into.

If a crypto has a price of $1 and a market cap of 50milion, it is likely to make more profit that a similar token that cost $0.5 and a market cap of 100 million.

Ethereum very much still runs on the proof of work PoW protocol as Bitcoin, and it will take some time before the eventual switch to PoS  will happen.
This means that ethereum is only better marginally in terms of scalability
Bitcoin is still safer security wise, and although ethereum is the base for development of smart contracts and new blockchains, bitcoin is still the most widely recognized and used cryptocurrency.

About crypto still functioning in the year 2050 and beyond,
No one can accurately predict the future or how technology will take shape in a few years. Although the signs are very encouraging and crypto will  be the future of new technological innovations.
Bitcoin ethereum and other cryptocurrencies are making big strides in the financial and tech industries

ETC is different from ETH as you may know already.

In POS, if you are malicious, you will lose your staked stash. So it encourages good behavior unlike POW where if you are malicious, you will be abandoned to continue wasting your hashpower.

The greatest threat I know of now is that of collusion. If people decide in greater power to be malicious, then anything can happen to our beloved chains.

Even considering our biggest chain, the Bitcoin Network, to kill it will require billions of dollars. And we all know it can be popped if people collude to take it down.


The soundness of any blockchain relies on how robust it's cryptoeconomic environment is.

Scam allegations is a very serious and sensitive topic. Thanks for the scam warning, however I would like it if you can also provide proofs possibly from communications or attempted communication with the NEXO project team.

Altcoins have high profits.
Altcoins is the way to make quick profits in cryptocurrencies but also a way to make loss. You have to be very careful in deciding altcoins to invest your money into.
I bought some beer token last year and already 0.04x in loss. So be wise when investing in altcoins

Buying low and selling high is the oldest trick in the book of financial trading, so applying it to cryptocurrency is just the same.
Cryptocurrencies and blockchain have gone too far to just die off like that, so when the eventual pump happens, those buying low will make very good ROI.

Individually the value and price movements of altcoins depends on the token itself, its demand and acceptance from the crypto community.
Generally however, altcoins  price can be influenced by both bitcoin and ETH because of their trading pairs. Cryptos with only one of these trading peers will respond to price fluctuation of that particular pair

There are some coins in the top 100 that will fall short of expectations and there are some coins at the lower 100 that will moon you great heights the most important thing is your research very well to uncover the hidden gems especially now that most cryptos have very low market caps.
