Also, transaction are unconfirmed is becoming more and more an issue. fees are higher now. people are getting frustrated.
Imagine a newbie getting his first coin and have to wait 24 hours to get confirmed.
my pay check wait 1 month. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fimagizer.imageshack.us%2Fa%2Fimg924%2F5530%2FqYrvKJ.gif&t=663&c=rcm-c6Guon0HaA)

how do I know an ICO to invest in?
None of them. Buy bitcoin and HODL. Look at what you think are the top 25, either still in ICO or already released and launched. Then pick the top 5. 4 of them will flop and dump to zero. 1 of them will do 10x or 20x. Of course, it's quite possible you picked the worst of them and they all dump to zero. I say, just go for the free airdrops that you see, and some cheap altcoins, or buy a small amount. Don't day trade (unless that's your thing.) Now, I've gotten maybe 20 altcoins, and maybe 15 or 16 of them are worthless now. One is I'm waiting for something to happen, another I already made 5x the ICO price but I'm still waiting for something else to happen. Then, you trade some or most or all of it to bitcoin and HODL. If you had Ripple or Litecoin, regardless of what you think of the coins themselves, they were profitable to HODL about 2 months ago, and then sell. But there was really no way to predict all that. It's like everyone is saying 3 years ago to invest in ETH, but noooooo... I didn't. And the ones who did probably didn't HODL long enough. in my opinion none of this still justifies investing in an ICO. if you want to invest then invest in an altcoin that already existed and have been listed on an exchange. the information that can be gained from just looking at the charts is 1000 times better than going in ICO where you are completely blind to its future. Yeah, if you were to replace all the instances of the word "coin" or specific altcoin with the word "penny stocks", it would make about as much sense. I.E.,buying altcoins is like buying worthless penny stocks and sitting on them for years, hoping that one of them will pop. Waste of time and money, and no guarantee anything lucky will even remotely happen. I guess some people have to ice skate uphill...

I don't know about penny stocks, but there have been a number of successful ICOs; or rather, profitable. Everyone looks at coinmarketcap, see the top 100 coins. More than a handful of them had ICOs, premined, and all that.
But you are correct, no guarantee. The chances are not remote tho, and a little better than rolling dice. You read up on something, and you can decide if you want to risk it or not.

She will keep that paper wallet until her 18th birthday, is what I think the plan is. 10 years from now. So BTC will be worth $5000 or $10k, or $20k, or some number between the moon and mars.

That poor lass has had her anonymity blown. According to more than a few posters here she's now on an NSA hit list. I'm willing to contribute to her digital erasure and bunker.

This massive rally might be fueled by the impeachment talks about Trump in the US over the fake news/deep state attacks on him. The markets are down quite a bit.

I think you're overestimating the importance of that. Especially for BTC. I mean really, who gives a rats ass? Why would ANYONE buy more BTC because of some fumbling American president? So some markets are down, they'll be up again in a little while. No reason that would be caused by American politics. If instability or mismanagement in American politics would mean a rally in BTC we'd all be rich already.
