what do you think  Which one has more profits and benefits, With less risk? Investing on ico? Trading? Airdrop and bounty program? Please leave your comments Investing on ICO:Investing on ICos are totally risky and you never know you will make profits or even your capital amount until the project gets listed on exchanges if that not happen then your capital amount will be lost of the useless tokens and also the scam rate has been increased so you have tough task to find the legit among the scams. Trading:Less risky when compared to ICO investment but still there is no fixed earning here and the market is very bearish for long time so making profits will be tough task. Airdrops and bounty programs:No risk because you don't need any capital for doing this but 9 out of 10 bounties are not worth to participate so all your effort may end in vain most of the times. Trading still stands out in the entire list anyway as long as you know what you are doing and you have great knowledge to be able to make proper market decisions at every point in time. However, I would not say it is less risky, as the risk is determined by how well you know what you are doing like I said which is like; the more the knowledge, the more you are able to manage the risks. Every investment comes with a risk, and that does not leave ICOs, and even bounty programs as all these could be subjected to the success of the ICO as well as the project in the long run but based on capital, you have to know how to manage the risk involved especially with ICOs and trading.

The OP seems to think that acting as a store of value is not part of money and that the use that were giving to it is mistaken, but that is not true, one of the characteristics of money is to be a store value, what happens is that people have forgotten about this aspe ct because for all their lives they have used fiat, which is not a store value and will never be, what you are seeing is money being used as intended, right now there is no point in spending are bitcoin when we can obtain great profits thanks to the fiat system once that's over you will see bitcoin being used to buy stuff.
Bad economy policies, inflation and a lot of bullshit has rubbed off on fiat over the years and that is why a lot of people stopped trusting in the system a long time ago. As long as in the long term, you believe that whatever you are holding is good enough to give you the same value back or more value based on its usage and adoption, then it is a store of value. Unfortunately, this is one thing fiat could not give and then we saw crypto bringing.

Investors continue to invest in crypto-currency start-ups, participating in the primary placement of tokens (ICO), despite the growing regulatory pressure. Over the period from January to May 2018, ICO raised a total of $ 11.8 billion, which is twice as high as the same period a year earlier ($ 5.5 billion), according to the Wall Street Journal, based on the data from the ICOBench.com platform about 900 transactions. The ICO market continues to grow, despite tightening regulation, including from the SEC, as well as regular reports of fraudulent transactions and a general fall in the prices of crypto-currencies. These problems discourage some retail investors, but large investors focused on the technology sector continue to pour money into the ICO in the hope that this market will eventually go uphill. Among the largest ICO this year is the placement of the Telegram Group tokens, the developer of the messenger of the same name, with a volume of $ 1.7 billion, as well as the startup block.one, a platform for implementing block-based business solutions, with a volume of $ 4 billion. However, even without these two ICOs, the total volume of token placement in the first half of 2018 is higher than for the entire 2017 year. According to the WSJ, 490 startups successfully conducted ICO in January-May 2017, the average amount of funds raised was $ 24 million. According to a study by the international consulting and auditing company PwC and the Crypto Valley association, 537 ICO projects were held from January to June 2018, totaling $ 13.7 billion. During this period, Telegram ($ 1.7 billion) and EOS ( $ 4.1 billion). Last year, 552 teams came on the ICO, which received $ 7 billion. If you subtract the two highest-grossing projects from the first five months of 2018, the amount of funds raised during this period will be $ 8 billion. Researchers noted that the primary location of the tokens is again rapidly gaining momentum with the help of hybrid campaigns that allow publicly to raise funds after the received financing. First they collect from $ 100 thousand to $ 1 million from venture investors, then open to the general public. "After the excitement of 2017, the ICO sector has become more established and definite. Now more attention is paid to improving business and legal practices, investor relations and attracting financing, "said Daniel Dimers, head of PwC Strategy. Since the beginning of the year, there have been more projects in the UK for the primary placement of tokens than in the United States. Approximately the same number of Swiss crypto-enthusiasts. A rating of ten countries is closed by Israel and Hong Kong.
Lots of People hardly give up hope on cryptocurrency. No matter what happens they still continue to pour in millions of dollars especially in ICO. This year it seems like the main purpose of investors is to invest their money in ICO, cause they have pouring in lots of money into every project that pops up. Let’s just hope that they turn and invest in Bitcoin and altcoins too to boost the price to a higher rate, I just need a pump!

indeed one of the biggest income banks is from interest but much more bank income apart from interest such as insurance policy, administration fee every month, from auction market, home and vehicle loan financing and many more.
I agree with his statement. I think they are making use of loans and from auction market for them to have a budget that is they are using to pay their employees. bank could live from monthly fee their customer.without this fee they have no big income source.usually bank performance valued by this and loans.two of them main income for bank. It is simple and cleared to all of us how banks are making money and almost all the money goes to government. They implement interest rates and transaction costs etc in these ways they make big money with our money that we keep safe in bank amounts, services are providing by the banks while money is ours. This is a stronger way of benefiting economy as do by governments 24 hours.

I think now is a very good time for investing in the ethereum. I think he is now at the bottom, or close to him. Soon the growth of crypto market will begin and the ether will show a good profit. While the bear market is a good thing is to buy coins. ethereum is a coin that is of high quality and has a high value in the future.
An investor would always invest in an asset that can maximize his future profits. The stability in the values of ETH and the rising prices will attract great investments into the market as we go into the recovery phase. ETH is expected to rise till the end of the year and the current market values are very down which is an chance to be utilized by those who want to invest low.

I agree with you that's why I have decided to trade btc, it is easy and everyone can do it not having the higher education and diploma. However, it is not very reliable income and you need to take this into account
Now it is a golden opportunity for all of us to get the Bitcoin on such cheap rate that is not making difficulties for us so what are we waiting for? We should not compromise in such a favorable market to take more benefit by using less money for larger quantity Bitcoins. We are observing value increase and decrease which is making a better opportunity for us and we can benefit ourselves in this up down trend.

But we got to admin, more and more people are not very trusting to their government and banking system these days due to what had happen in the past like in Greece or worse was what had happened in Zimbabwe. Venezuela and some developing countries where there political meltdown is about to spread, the citizens in these countries are likely to be interested in BTC to store their wealth which is why they foresee bitcoin as the future. Fiat isn't going away though.
The reason behind the fact that people will still need real money is that they can use their instruments of fiscal and monetary policies to control inflation and unemployment. The policies built around the fiat system and made that way and can solve the problems by increasing or decreasing the supply of money in printed form into the economy. Crypto alone is alone and will not be able to assist the users in that way.

I have heard that Bitcoin is already 6th place in the world in terms of market capitalisation, after Dollar, Euro and etc. this for me is a sign, that Bitcoin is worth something.
In the current days many countries are attracting and desire for the Bitcoin due to its responsive actions towards economies like other countries are benefiting their economies then rest of the countries are also demanding for it. Due to its high generating profit power countries have eyes on this digital asset to enrich their economies however few have benefited already while others are working on it to bring a proper system to run it for profit.

If the exchange rate is very volatile, there are many transactions in real society that are difficult to accomplish. I believe that with the development of the community, bitcoin fluctuations will become smaller and smaller.
There is mega risk if this happens. Actually bitcoins is known or differentiated from other sources of income Is just because of this fluctuations. If you remove them or slightly decrease them through any means, you could be seeing a loss and unimportant bitcoin world that isn’t that much charming. This volatile makes the world of bitcoin different from others so we couldn’t slow it.

In my case, "Buy Coin With Rumors" may well suit. Months ago, I invested more than 20k that ended up with only 100 bucks. That was the worst investment in my side. Well, I take it as a lesson for better research before putting money.
As for me, the worst mistake happens when you initially choose the wrong altcoin. It means that you will lose in the future. The other great mistake is to sell your cryptocurrency when it is falling. Choice really matters. If a person invests in a stupid coin that has no future then obviously he cannot earn any penny out of it. That is the reason why I suggest everyone to go for bitcoin, ethereum or any other top altcoin as these have shown us their strength and potential over time. All famous digital coins have big communities of supporter which matters a lot.

If there is money to invest, mining will be an option not bad. My country lives relatively cheap electricity prices, benefits are not lower than trading.
You better know the aspects of mining, that is great. Mostly people want to start mining as they get it through general aspect and that doesn’t let them go deep in facts that are needed. For mining, every other thing just works fine except electricity. As systems must be strong and they should be running for whole day and consuming extra power, so cheap electricity must be provided.

In Trading, there are two categories of people, those who want to increase their bitcoin volume, and those who want to increase their dollar volume. Which one do you prefer?Why?
well to me i would value those to increase there bitcoin volume because bitcoin is not fixed the prices can increase anytime any day but dollar it's price doesn't change in time and there will be no benefits in trading with dollar as the case may be. That depends on your strategy. I believe when there is downfall for price of bitcoin, there are more chances for the trader to buy more bitcoin. Profit always comes into your account when you buy low and sell high. If the buying rates comes down and you have already saved some investment, you must hold the current one and start buying more bitcoin. This will increase your profit rate.

It feels like 2018 is one of the hardest year for all the people who are involved in cryptocurrency, because all them people who I know personally are involved in every aspect, are constantly losing their money.
I think those ones that invested in crypto after March, will get their profits. Investing in Ethereum is the right decision as it is the best altcoin with the huge potential. After march, yeah the must have done something amazing. First achievement bag in their account is, they have trusted bitcoin or altcoin for their investment source. Secondly, they have selected good strategies that are working fine for them till now. Buyers in March must have good investment profit even if they sell bitcoin right now. But I will advise them to keep their coins for long time.

Hundreds of successful stories are in market that motivates us to join this tremendous world. So big chances of profits and so huge earning hubs. Good luck to everyone.

Never allocate more personal capital to this sector than you can afford to lose. This is as speculative and risky as it gets.
Forget about the investment amount in the beginning because you have to make your investment successful so as you are able enough to look for higher steps but in the start you should try your best for getting success. After you done with successful investments with any profit then it is relevant later to upgrade to higher steps. Remember that it is not something easy here and you will have to struggle here as well but this is easier than any other investment source in the modern world.

Personally, I do not think the market has recovered as we can still see the fluctuation in price of some coin while some do not show any sign of growth especially altcoins but I am sure the market will recover soon and the bull run will start.
Right. What I believe is that the market has started showing bullish signals and we are on the way to market perfection because we have just left behind a very passive phase of depletion in the values of Bitcoin and other coins as well. The fall could also be temporary and should not be considered a sign of another red beginning. On the average the indicators affecting the crypto market positively are positive and this is visible from the average rise in the value of Bitcoin though it is slow. Having said that, we can say that the market is on the rise and soon will be in a much better position to give away.

Everything is possible because its capitalization has reached a very high level. And at the end of 2018, it is possible that it can reach 40 000$.
No doubt the capitalization has reached a very high value and that determines the market status of the coin and that it is the top coin in the market right now, it still might not be able to cross the $40000 value in the end of the year for sure. The rise in the value is not determined by the market capitalization but by the market forces and the market is very slow so it will take Bitcoin some time to regain its last year’s values first. If things went favorable, the market value might cross $30000 or even $40000 in 2019 or 2020.

If it is true the bitcoin price is stable it will be very good for bitcoin traders and bitcoin mining because with the stable bitcoin price we will get a decent enough income but if the price of bitcoin decline then we will get a small income therefore the price of this bitcoin must be stable .
Yes I agree with you, if bitcoin will stable it will not anymore be risky. I think it can be possible if users and the economy is also stable then bitcoin will follows. But for me, it is much better if bitcoin is stable because the users will encourage others to join and it will have a big possibility that they will accept the offer. Although bitcoin price is too much restricted to increase, but I think that we are even not observing any decrease in bitcoin price, which means that bitcoin is trading in a very much stable condition. I think that after 10th August the price will once again start increasing. the price of bitcoin is quite stable right now. but we can actually still profit from a short-term trading with little increase in target profit. I am playing around 2.8% - 3% target profit right now and is doing good. It will become stable when we control our wrong decisions of buying in high market and selling in low market which contributes to make the market price unstable. Now if we think wisely to make right decisions then that will benefit us as well as the stable market price. It is the great achievement of Bitcoin to be on the stage even its lowest price is many times higher than the second valuable currency.

Is this a good time for Facebook to try new kinds of stuff. Facebook owner Mark Zuckerberg has become the world's third richest man in the world and he has achieved all that just because of technology and a right idea, So do you guys think he will now at least think about experimenting to take bitcoin as a payment method in facebook. I think that will surely change a lot of people's mind around the world and they can freely put some money on facebook business.
Uuhm… it seems quite OK, although I won’t really support such an idea if they are to release it, and by the way I’m not really a fan of Facebook. But if they would do that it would be like the Facebook-pay or wallet, I can’t remember what it’s being called, users will be able to send and receive Bitcoin from family and friends on the Facebook chat. But like I said, it’s quite OK but not really good if it’s going to be done by Facebook, I don’t really recommend that.

every investment has a risk, so does investment in cryptocurrency. the difference is only the percentage of risk, if the results obtained are more and more then the risk received is also greater.
But we should also think about the direction of average growth in the crypto. We see loss and rise in the worth of different coins in the crypto market but the average rise in the value of a coin like Bitcoin is always more than the fall so we are actually rising but with low pace. Having said that, investing in crypto is an incentive for quick and often easy earning and it can improve the economy in a country. The only clash will be that between the fiat system and the crypto because of the fact that many policies and the financial institutions are build around the fiat system.
