It really would not have much influence on ICOs. Google ads are still often used for ICOs, twitter at least for now still available and some other various options as well. A lot of real investors are even hardly found on Facebook anyway. Most of them make use of some ICO listing webs, or twitter to get ICOs they can partake in. So at the end, Facebookwill just have a very minute impact that won't be felt at all.

Firstly, Facebook is not the only platform that adverts are done, and even though automatically Instagram is affected, I really do not see how this can have a huge effect on ICOs. Twitter is still there, articles are written to promote ICOs, the forum is also there as well and there are some websites that ICOs are promoted as well. At the end of it all, ICO's progress is not tied to Facebook’s advert.

Financial education does not have anything to do with pursuing your studies. In fact, that is a huge line of study on its own and if you read what the OP said, he is just utterly concerned that some people are limited to the space they are learning and rather than making financial education and some ways they can help themselves to be wealthy by taking some opportunities, they have little or no knowledge to be able to achieve that. For me, I feel anyone who is serious about life will not have to wait for the government to achieve this but take it up on themselves.

Some may count it as gift, simply if they do not know their worth. This is more of a business or real work kind of thing. I have something to offer that can work for your project, how much are you willing to offer ?

If it is cool, then you take it. It is crazy seeing people devalue themselves, thinking it is a gift, when it is obviously what they worked for. If it was not helping the companies in their ICOs, do we think they will care less about giving out coins for free ?
Even airdrops will still have little task to give.

Some people trade, so there is really no way everyone can stay away from exchanges. However, it is always good to be safe and make sure that the security of one's account is strong enough. Although, this is not a full guarantee but at least, it should be a start. A lot of events like this have happened in the past, and unfortunately, they will still happen, which is why I keep telling people that some exchanges are actually a no go area.

Which is why no one should put any asset they cannot afford to lose on any exchange. This is something that we have to live with for now and best to always stay with exchanges that can be trusted which have been able to avert hacking attempt in the past than just going for the new ones. Also, it is best to always split funds in different trusted exchanges to at least have them spread around.

We are still in the very early stage and people really do not know how long we are going to get or they really do not have that great belief in bitcoin right now, which is why they panic unnecessarily. The best thing at moments like this, most especially for those who could not sell at the top is to keep holding, the greens will be back again, and for those who sold, best time to buy back is just now.

I learned my lessons a while back when the market came back green and a whole lot of these coins as low as they are, are even more than the value I sold them back then. The thing is that, the best thing is to always hold, forget the market rampage, buy in if you have some fiats lying around and see it as a good time to have some good bags for good times ahead.

And to top it up, that panic selling is one of the reasons why we give the institutions the upper hand in the market. I would not blame anyone though, there is really no good news for bitcoin right now and I see no reason why the buying momentum will skyrocket, but all the same, this kind of period is normal for any market, but the best is to keep all hopes high.

A lot of FUD is going around, a massive correction going on after a pretty big huge rise that almost turned to a bubble, and then the whales and institutions stepping in.

However, this is nothing to be worried about. We are getting close to the despondency stage, the market will recover and then you will start seeing the hope being raised up all over again. It has happened before, it will happen again, good you have experienced it now so you can have something to tell upcoming newbies.

A lot can even happen within 1 minute when there is a huge dump or panic sell based on some expectation in the market. Sure, he may have dropped it as a suggestion, but in this market, it seems like something that is highly risky to do. For anyone who is unfortunate enough not to have detected the bearish trend long ago and sell to be able to buy back when a bullish trend is about to start, then there is really no need for them to bother themselves selling anymore. They should just hold even if they are going to end up getting the best of their investment in 2 years.

Well, back then it was easy to invest as little as few dollars into ICOs. Check around, things are changing now and most of them are gradually trying to eliminate those with few cash to invest. So it is either you are ready to risk a lot or not.

We cannot fight this, it has been there and everyone can decide to make the decision they want on how they want to run their company, therefore, the poor ones can look for an opportunity to work and earn it, at least which is an opportunity, rather than complaining about how the world is unfair. A lot of people had to work hard and pretty smart before getting to that spot of being wealthy.

Would not it be better suggesting newbies to flee away while the have a chance to ?
I think, that is the right guidance. Also, just because you are single does not mean it is right to think that you have a window for gambling. Even ten percent of your earning should not be wasted away. You appear to me a sensible person with some serious aim of life. Gambling is not a good game in every sense.

I would not be so confident if I were you. You see, apparently gambling is not any harm and ones feel lie he can give up at any time he wants to so he actually does not give up and keeps on playing. Then with the passage of time, without him realizing, gambling becomes his habit and after losing some amount, he tries to get rid of it, but that is too late. So, I suggest you to stop playing it anymore.

Yeah, we should just accept the realities at once without just lurking upon the fact that a person might be seeking fun behind his gambling games and his aim is not actually money and so on. We all know that money being a basic need of life is something that doesn’t gives you a choice at all to care about it or not. You have no other option instead of seeking ways to earn it and gambling is just one of them.

Yes, if it is o then you have got a reason to like the digital world of money. As far as I am concerned I have yet not indulged myself in the game because of the reason that this is not something quite reliable like the things do not get stable anytime and it is a kind of rush that is not going to get my mind relaxed at anytime. So, I don’t want myself to get depressed over matters like dumping and hacking issues along with a is to be worried about.

This is really why we need bitcoin to be more of a usable currency than just a speculative asset as that would give them more chance to take hold of the market strongly and be able to control it however they wish and like. These are guys who have been living their lives manipulating the fiat system, what makes us think the same will not happen in this scenario with bitcoin. I am still sure what we are experiencing right now is institutional played, so the answer to the OP's question is glaring from what we are seeing in the market presently.

I wonder why this was not attended to since December. Even though your's was post busting, it is good this is brought up. I have asked myself this question several times and to me, I just end up seeing room for pretty much manipulation. Unfortunately, a lot of people are panicking and giving them the chance to be able to have more hold in the market, but I am not sure if this would really mean much in the long run on the amount they are going to be sitting on. I am sure they are having this moment already and we can see how that is leading us. At the end, I only see bitcoin ending up as a store of value with the look of things.

Only thing some people do not understand now is that, unless you are a trader and you know what you are doing which obviously, a good trader would have sold a long time ago and find a better spot to buy back now, then asides that, it is best to hold.
Selling now is more like giving whales and institutions your money. They know how to play with the market, emotionally, psychologically, and in every way, so the best is to HODL, the bull rally will definitely start over again.

Cool dude! But all I am getting from your talk is that you are not having much confidence in your own powers.
Either you have been trying or so many times and always ending up with the same result that is a failure or it is just a part of your nature to be diffident about your results. I think that you must continue with the game but be bit more passionate and self reliant otherwise it is not gonna work at all.

Rewarding merits to insubstantial posts or rewarding for the reason for friend or anything else must be a breach of forum rules and which may lead to get negged. We need to understand the true purpose of merit system and we must contribute up to the level we can for fighting against spamming.

Just write quality posts. As simple as 123...

Unfortunately people here are not preferring trading themselves. Most of forum members are preferring buying/selling with exchanges. One probable reason could be, practical problems like delay in finding buyer/seller and need of escrow. Still, if you check on altcoin marketplace there you can find lots of people are dealing for different coins.

Honestly, I always like emphasizing to deal in decentralized way. We must open a topic here and need to announce like want to buy/sell one coin for this price like that. So, that people will deal as per their wish without the fear of getting struck into scammy exchanges.

You can enjoy gambling as much as you want to, but the thing is, your gambling activity should not impact your life style nor into your responsibilities. As long as we are able to keep our gambling activities separate then there will be no harm of continuing gambling. Then why people suggest to quit gambling ? The simple answer for that should be the scenario OP stated. When we have left with some little money and we are having some commitment for that money then we should able to quit gambling for that occasions.

Otherwise we can mark ourselves as an addict to gambling which must be a worst situation where things will be out of our control. Simply when we are in control then we can continue gambling. That's all about gambling.

Greed will destroy everything for sure. But we cannot say all gamblers are having greediness also that is the reason they are into gambling. Because even fun seeking gamblers also unable to save as they need to spend some money for their entertainment even they are not greedy about making more profits out of gambling.

Gambling is like a hole in your pocket. Whatever amount you will be filling out into your packet, will never find it get filled up. This is how gambling destroying all of us. In my experience it will be too hard to save money along with playing gambling games. We have to focus on only one thing, it would be better if we turn ourselves into saving rather than focusing on gambling,

I too hate lotteries. Even OP is offering for 100 satoshi, I believe I will not prefer to participate in any kind of lotteries as I do not believe into making of easy money. Yes, basically I do not depend on my luck factor to favor me for any financial help. I learned this fact from gambling in a hard way. So, getting back to the same beginning point after many hassles will not be giving any meaning for my hard work.

Instead of testing my luck with lotteries, I would definitely prefer to invest into any promising ICOs. Because, there I am confident that I will be making some returns for my investment. I am capable of finding good project so why not trying ?
