I think it was greed and also price manipulation that killed this market. Way too many Lambo kids and Internet marketers looking for a get rich quick scheme came in and started all this stupid ICO hopping madness which led to the collapse of the markets. Now everything is rock bottom and almost worthless, so the hodlers and believers of crypto really lost out while all the manipulators and greedy traders won. It's the nature of the Beast. You can see so many people in telegram groups working for pump and dump groups going around and spreading FUD or FOMO so they can pump and dump and catch everyone in between, it's getting pathetic really. I hope some serious investment capital comes in for the best projects to oust out all these idiots trying to leech off of good projects.

I don't know if it will ever hit those kinds of prices ever again but I don't think it is dead. It might lose popularity but it all depends on how the ecosystem of NEO will expand or how NEO will adapt to new market conditions. At the moment the price is really low now, like many other coins, so it might be a good time to pick some up while it is very cheap and at least earn some gas from it. As long as you can earn some passive income from it, might be worth a shot to hold a few, like similar to VET, aka venchain. I only have one NEO but might buy more if I can earn from trading.

Putting your own money in Bitcoin is a high-risk investment, but if you can earn it for free then the risk is minimal. Although entering now the crypto market is a better time than it was in January, because everything was highly priced back then but now Bitcoin is very cheap again and has retraced like 80% since its ALL TIME HIGH, you have more chance of an upside entering BTC markets now than you did back when it was at 20 USD a pop. Dealing in all kinds of currency or trading is risky, whatever you are dealing with, so you need to study the market first before you decide to enter into its grip.

O.K SOME GOOD NEWS, I finally got a message from ERICKVAND:
He will confirm with us on 21st of August what is happening, so we have hope and at least now we have a reply from the Bounty Manager.

Now altcoin prices are capitulating it is too late to tether or exit at this point. That, in my opinion, would be suicide. I for one would prefer to hold at this point. If I had spare fiat I would be buying the good alts and btc by the truckload over the coming few months of capitulation. I don't have fiat but have started day trading to try to accumulate that way. I hope I can manage to accumulate in this really bad time. We are not going to see the end of this bloodbath anytime soon. Once the ETF gets rejected or postponed on 30th September again, expect all-time lows for 2018.

It's good, try to trade or buy and accumulate at these lows. When others are panicking and fearful, that is the time to load up. I am seeing like 80 million buy orders in one scoop so that means some big whales are loading up big time right now. I wouldn't be surprised if some Chinese whales are buying in because of Pundix being at the Beijing conference, so that might be bringing in new holders right now. I am waiting to see the price improve a bit once Binance airdrop dumpers finish dumping their stash. This is not a time to sell during a market crash, that's for sure unless you are absolutely in dire straights and need the finances to cover living costs. This is the time to load up.

We all know that the Elites are playing with us and still we are putty in their hands and they are manipulating the hell out of Bitcoin. We know this yet everyone is panic selling left, right and center. Where are your ideals? Where are all those people who stood for decentralization and freedom? I hardly see any of them around except a bunch of day traders and speculators, nothing else. Those with ideals have long gone I guess. I think it's a shame that we are not untied and banded together against this big FUD machine and Price SUPPRESSING mechanism. Same people that panic sell will be back in FOMO mode when it's too late.

Yeap and ERICKVAND has totally ignored the bounty community and is not answering my polite message on Telegram, all the admins do on Bidium telegram is remove my posts whereby I ask them politely for any news, that means they have scammed us. I think ERICKVAND as a bounty manager should AT LEAST HAVE THE DECENCY TO COME AND ADDRESS US BOUNTY HUNTERS WHO WORKED MONTHS ON THIS PROJECT AND TELL US TO THE FACE THAT BIDIUM IS A SCAM. At least then we can alert everyone else that they have scammed us. I know it's not ERICKVAND's fault if they scammed, but as a bounty Manager, he has to at least come and tell us to our faces. I worked for months on this project and some of us are doing this for a living, we have bills to pay and food to put on the table, we have our dignity, don't treat us like shit. Our lives and time are just as valuable as yours!

Some require KYC, depends on the jurisdiction they are in, some don't. Unfortunately, also we have the problem with many bounty cheaters coming in to steal money from these projects and also steal from the other bounty hunters because when a cheater gets paid, the honest bounty hunters earn fewer tokens. I think that is another reason why KYC or authentication in btctalk bounty posts is needed, to weed out all the bounty thieves that are plaguing this industry. I don't mind filling out a KYC if the actual ICO is not a scam itself lol.

There will be a long bear run before we see any signs of Bulls. Now people are first selling their alts, then they will tank BTC down and buy into tether. Once Bitcoin is at its knees and most miners shut down, then we will see the big money flow into BTC, then alts. I am not dumping my positions, I am holding now, I have lost 99.5% of the value of my portfolio now anyway, so it isn't worth selling at these prices. The market will capitulate until there is blood overflowing in the streets, then we will see the institutional money roll in.

There is no place on the weekly form for Reddit so posting here.

Hello I just wanted to ask, the amount raised showing on the website has been stuck for days, does it need to be updated or is that showing in real time the amount raised so far? This is such a high caliber project but what has been raised showing on the website doesn't reflect that. Sorry about asking, but maybe the website needs updating? I think this is a fantastic project, especially that you also have it already listed on LATOKEN exchange, even before ICO ending.  . Also, will you create  A LIVE TELEGRAM CHAT room whereby investors can chat with Team members in real time? I think that can also boost interest. 

Guys and Gals, we know the whole market is in shit right now, which is purely based on the assumption that price suppression is at play so as to make it attractive as an entry point for larget institutions to come in and scoop up all the cheap coins that have nearly hit the floor, including Pundix. We have a Gem in our hands and my advice to everyone that can afford to hold and accumulate to do so, because once the xpos are running and the mainnet comes and many many activities hit that mainnet, whit tons and tons of transactions coming to burn the supply, anyone selling now will have humongous regrets as well as anyone not owning a bag of NPXS. I voted in favor of new airdrop rules.

ICOS are really taking a beating right now but I still believe the KONIS project can pull it off. I am checking their twitter every day and they are pretty active in many blockchain events. I want to know what the soft cap is or are they going to continue with their platform irrespective of what they collect in this round of ICO? I am glad they have already partnered with one exchange as well even during the ICO, which should show investors that they are serious and not some fly by night project. I have seen so many ICO tokenized projects whereby the tokens don't even hit an exchange, even after they have raised millions.

Those days are over Bro, forget it. In this bear run, you will be lucky to get x2 and that only if you belong to some pump and dump group or are lucky to own a coin that gets pumped by some of these groups. The bears are in full control and everything right now is just going down and out. If you got the balls to just hold what you got left in this bear market in the hope one-day things will turn around, good luck, but those x 10 and x 100 lambo dreams right now are dead. In 2018 I don't see any good coming unless we get the EFT approved.

My experience is really bad. I have lost 99.8% of the value in my portfolio because I only took out money to live on and not my profits. Now I don't even know if I can survive from crypto jobs alone anymore as most jobs I do, the ICOS don't pay, or turn to scam, or delay paying out tokens, or tokens don't even get to hit an exchange. This is my worst year in crypto. 2018 wiped out ALL my gains in 2017 and it sux bad. I really don't know where I am heading now but I have all my bets on Pundi x, that's the only coin I have left in my portfolio. I have also a few other bits but I have to sell those to be pay bills and food expenses for the coming month.

I would suggest PUNDI X  myself. They already have developed a product that will help in the mass adoption of cryptos AND now they just announced that they are building their own open source blockchain, which will enable more developers to do their thing. They also have now started monthly token burning due to the transactions happening and burning of the profits, which will over time decrease the total supply of the token. For now, it is at a very discounted cheap price, whales are suppressing the price to accumulate a shit ton of it. Now is the time to enter and get a bag to enhance your portfolio.

I used to like arbitrage trading as that guarantees a profit in all circumstances. Now what you need to do for this is to pick a few coins that are on many exchanges and check if there is an arbitrage opportunity, but for this kind of trading where you are buying low and selling high all at the same time is risky because you need to be very quick or have both btc/eth on the exchanges as well as the coin you want to trade. You also need to make sure you want to hold the coin as well if you are lumbered with it.
