I have already invested in ADA, but right now it is a very difficult climate to profit in, in fact I suspect that nearly all ICOs launching around now will fail to reach their cap, unless they go the private investment route, or have a low soft cap. ADA, NEO and EOS really had a lot of potential, if the uptrend had continued into 2018 I could have seen each of these in the top 10.

Very interesting how there is suddenly a bunch of newbie and Jr members promoting this coin. Buying hype on bitcointalk is a sure fire way to kill your coin. I would advise against it for any prospective coins or ICOs in future, as it's completely obvious that you are being paid to shill CMT, it's like you don't even try to hide the fact either. Whoever is paying you should revoke the contract ASAP before they tarnish their name.

I think that there isn't negative news, but there isn't positive news either, there is nothing to bring bitcoin back on an uptrend. In this situation, the only dynamic affecting its price is competition, and that's always a race to the bottom, and unfortunately the bottom is pretty much zero. So unless something happens soon, this is going to continue, and might even drop into $5k.

I completed a couple of these courses when I first got involved with cryptocurrency a few years back, I found that they tend to talk of the most mundane aspects of cryptocurrency, e.g. explaining how mining works, going into excessive detail about how the decentralized ledger works with multiple metaphors and comparisons. Definitely not worth watching if you already have some idea about crypto, as you could gain the same information from simply reading a few stickies around here.

I would however, like some good guides on how to develop your own blockchain, or write smart-contracts, I know some of these exist, but they are rudimentary. I want extensive content.

I think even if Bitcoin was essentially banned in most major countries, bitcoin would still stay above $50, simply because it's so hard to stop people using it.

Bitcoin has value in its utility, it is still better than VISA for transacting value between countries, in particular those with sanctions and international transfer limits. If bitcoin slumps to $50, I will go mad.

I really doubt that you would need to pay, please post the name of the bounty here, as it's more likely that the bounty manager is actually trying to scam you. Definitely don't pay, you have fulfilled your half of the bargain by completing the bounty requirements, that is everything you should need to do to receive your rewards. Unless the bounty said in its terms and conditions that this is a requirement, you're almost certainly being scammed.

Whenever you see an airdrop offering a range of values, then assume it is the lowest end of the scale, that's how it works out my humble experience.

That being said, I haven't participated in an airdrop for years because they're nearly all a waste of time, as the token price plummets as soon as it hits the exchange.

Here's a word of advice, don't hold for the long term, buy low and sell high, but don't hold for an all time high as those are rarer than you think.

If the price drops 5% then buy it (unless there it is due to very bad news), then sell it once it goes up 3-6%, don't wait for ridiculous gains as you will likely suffer losses this way.

Pretty sure he's not asking what the highest absolute number of tokens you got was, as 93 tokens with a 1 trillion token supply is almost nothing.

What was the largest USD value of any airdrop you guys got, at the time of sale? Also, how much effort was the airdrop in and of itself?

Nothing is kicking off right now, there market is in a really big depression. Even though NEO has amazing potential and promise, which in my opinion far exceeds that of its predecessor Ethereum, it is very difficult to flourish under such strain. I think if the market stabilizes again and this incessant FUD campaign finally ends, then NEO will start shooting its way up the rankings, as it really is a next gen crypto.

I think asking what the most money you have made from a single airdrop is pointless, most people sign up to every single airdrop under the sun, and if you add them all up, and sell them at the right time, you can definitely earn around $1,000-3,000 per year. But managing all of that dust, is probably not worth the effort overall. It's probably just a good idea to sign up to the most valuable ones, and skip the shitcoins.

I really don't think April is looking to be a promising month, just a few more waves of bad news could send us back down to $5,000 quite easily. I actually believe April will be another bad month for Bitcoin, possibly going down to ~$7,000. I hope I'm wrong, but this bad trend doesn't seem close to ending.

I really don't have a problem with KYC regulations, however I do have a problem with idiots having access to my KYC data.

I believe if they're going to impose these requirements, they should also lay down some guidelines, including security protocols for those who are expected to handle this sort of data.

I can see the headlines coming soon, amateur ICO leaks database contacting 10,000 KYC credentials, class action lawsuit filed.

I too believe that the Facebook ICO advert ban was harsh, they should have just set additional requirements, e.g. must have a legally registered company, must provably comply with anti-money launders and know your customer regulations etc. There is no need to lay down a blanket ban, and since the negative publicity they have received, hopefully their business goes down anyway. #deletefacebook <- Already did, as soon as I read their data collection rules.

Isn't the answer obvious? If there is zero circulating supply, then there is obviously zero interest in Bitcoin, hence the value will be zero, or close to it (in the case of novelty value). I think this scenario isn't likely to happen for a long time, at least until the SHA-256 encryption is eventually cracked, however by that point it would have probably forked to another algorithm to resist quantum computers.

Just got back from vacation, please check my post quality as I try to keep on topic and provide relevant information, rather than just regurgitating the obvious.

Hope I can be part of supporting this project.

Oh look, another partnership with a.... Bank. I really don't like the agenda of Ripple, it doesn't do anything that bitcoin can't, and undermines Satoshi's whole vision.

Definitely staying far away from Ripple as it could lead somewhere we don't want to be.

NEO has most of these features, e.g. NEO filesharing and NEO browser. I don't think DeepOnion has anything special, it might be the anonymous version of NEO, but its anonymity will restrict its smart contract functionality. I don't think it has the potential everyone hypes it up to have.

Definitely keep holding, it might even take 2-5 years or more, but it is highly likely that your portfolio will see tremendous gains by then. If you sell now, you will actualize your losses, that is never a good idea. Just keep your mind clear, and understand that these are LONG TERM investments, it hasn't been long enough yet (nowhere near.)

Overall, I think there are far too many ICOs anyway. I don't agree with Google banning advertisements for established cryptocurrencies though, e.g. Those in the top 10 by market cap. This is likely to hurt the growth potential of these coins, though not likely as much as people think as they can still be discovered through searches, which is how most people would see those adverts anyway.
