Disclaimer: The text below is a personal opinion of the author. If you have a different opinion, please share it
ICO causes more and more distrust - thanks to the scammers. At this point, companies that produce and sell tokens are more focused on the product. The product is being developed and improved. And all before the token sale.
The fact is: those companies that enter the token market with a readymade product are more trustworthy. Now, few people are interested in a company that launches ICO just to make a name and earn a lot of money.
ICO is a serious campaign. It requires great resources and professionalism.
There are many companies on this path. Recently, Pavel Durov announced the creation of a light wallet and the release of the Gram token on the Telegram platform. Here is another example - KickCity, a company that has existed for two years. KickCity is engaged in the development of the event industry and issues a KCY token for further expansion of the company.
I don't think so. I think ICO is the first killer app of the blockchain field. Even though 95% or maybe 99% of ICOs are either soft or hard scams, ICO does bring a new model into crowdfunding.

Which are the best competitors to Ethereum, and why do you think so?
(I know on top of my head that Cardano and IOTA try to challenge Ethereum, although they still haven't proved much from my understanding?)
If there is one, it is Hashgraph. However, Hashgraph decides to support Ethereum Virtual Machine. That means, they are on the same boat in some sense.

Now all the markets are crashing down and I don't know what to do with my altcoins. My briefcase fell 30% in a couple of days. I'm afraid I might lose more. Selling or hodl?
At least hodl, buy if you still have fiat (the money you can lose, of course). Everybody is down by at least 30%. Panic selling is definitely a bad choice in the bear market.

Newbie here... I've been thinking about buying my first crypto. I think I want to buy ETH, but wondering if I missed the boat already? Primarily I'm choosing ETH because I think there are less foreseeable limitations than BTC, and it seems like ETH is basically accepted everywhere BTC is. Plus its cheaper Is now a good time to buy it? Should I wait? I think you should buy ETH because it is highly oversold. Even we forget about all the strong fundamentals of ETH, it is still a good buy in terms of TA.

Hello, I am new in this forum but not new in cryptocurrencies, I started trading cryptocurrency in 2016 and my first cryptocurrency I bought that time is vergecurrency and other penny coin. And I returned my money in bundle because they have good tech and very good team..So early this year I noticed that a lot of coin is now scam and failed promises. So please if you want to buy any coin don't go to coinmarketcap only because coinmarketcap can list any coin without verifying it well, just go to their telegram group and ask questions I think this can help you stay away from scam coin...
You made some real great choices in terms of investing. You are right. A lot of "bullshit" tokens are pumped to the "moon" nowadays. They don't fall in value immediately in the bear market, but they will fall eventually.

Hey guys! I'm sure everyone's noticing the drop in the cryptomarket. Is there any particular reason for this? Is the bubble actually popping. I've heard that supply and demand, selling more than buying are like the main reasons for the market to drop. Even google announced that they ll be banning the ICO and crypto related ads. What do you guys feel about the whole scenario right now?
Bads new are just catalysts. The main reason is that people think they are not be able to make easy money out of this market any more lately.

Today G20 meeting has started in Buenos Aires.. As we all know, current awfull dump of our beloved market is partially due to uncertain expectations from G20 summit.. World`s most powerfull but regressive bodies will have it`s say in these days, even about our crypto world, having it`s influence.. https://www.g20.org/en/calendarHere is the calendar of the events.. What type and how huge effect will it have on our portfolios guys? Regulations are never a bad thing, in my opinion. The crypto world needs regulations to mature. However, the market does not like regulations overall.

Okay so yea the last drop could be explained by BNB announcing their own DEX.
But the coin has been dropping for like...... ever....
Even when their mainnet pilot was launched it went down....
What am I missing?
Thanks folks!
I don't think KNC is dead. Its price is dropping mainly because the market is down recently (the bear market, you may say). I do believe KNC will have a bright future.

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Biggest profit from an AirDrop?
|
on: March 14, 2018, 08:23:34 PM

If I have a few mins to kill during the day (usually when waiting for ETH/BTC to hit the exchanges from my wallet) Ill sign up for an airdrop or two. Most of the ones that I have either haven't hit exchanges or are worth under $1.
TRON (TRX) was the first one for me that actually did something.
500 free TRX peaked at ~$30 and is currently worth ~$19
HODLing!
I remember that I read a thread in this subforum in last year, saying that a guy became a millionaire by taking part in Decred airdrop and holding the tokens airdropped until Decred went to moon.

I think nano and byteball have it covered
let's be honest though for an in depth analysis and objective educated opinion that rules out what 99.999999 % of the board that will come here to spam their blockchain alternative.
in the end when all have been weighed in the balance we will be back to bitcoin
Based on my observation, hashgraph is not just another altcoin. If you check the video out, you will find that their software and legal team are high-profile. Hedera Hashgraph is really mind blowing! https://www.hederahashgraph.com/ - make your own research! This project is a unicorn, really wanna take part in their ICO (but i think all coin would be sould on private sales ) Agree. Right now, you can register interest on their website, but I heard that you need to have accredited investor status to be able to buy H tokens in presale.

I think that the best technology at the moment is the IOTA direct acyclic graph that provides a great network capacity without compromising safety and has low fees.
I think IOTA's tech is innovative. I haven't follow the recent development of IOTA lately, though. Hashgraph seems to build its consensus mechanism based on DAG as well. Hashgraph is still in early stages as you mentioned IOTA, for instance there they have a problem called 33% attack if I remember well and to stop this developers have included some coordinator how they call it which is basically a server through which they control the whole network as everything has to pass through them. Although hasgraph is really interesting this because it could really end the scaling debate forever because they use different data structure than blockchain and I strongly believe this is the future we must head to and go and opt for. The blockchain industry or you may say distributed ledger industry will be more and more interesting in the following years. Hopefully more and more talented people like Vitalik will jump on stage to make a difference.
