So what have we learned up until now? Here are my thoughts: 1. Centralization Vs Decentralization: Does Centralization or Decentralization of POW mining really matter? There are 2 obvious arguments but I would like to introduce a third. The first argument basically says that we must have decentralized POW mining or else we will end up with something like BitmainCash (oops, I mean bitcoincash). Probably enough said for that point. The second argument is that decentralization may not even matter in the short term or in the long term for POW mining. There are various examples of coins that have had ASIC/Centralized mining introduced and for the most part, life goes on. So beyond these first 2 arguments stating 1) Decentralized POW mining is the only way and 2) Decentralized POS mining is just a part of life... The third argument that I would propose is that Decentralized POW mining is an inevitable goal that will be continuously strived for just as we aim to make a perfect circle or just as we aim to exceed faster than light travel. Since decentralization matters on such an epic scale, mining algorithms matter and developers flexibility matters. Therefore and as continues to be demonstrated with various new POW algorithms produced all the time: ANY POW COIN DEVELOPER SEEKING DECENTRALIZATION MUST REMAIN OPEN AND FLEXIBLE TO FORKING THEIR COINS TO NEW ALGORITHMS. 2. POW/POS... XRP? Blockchain Blockchain Blockchain: So why not just get rid of POW altogether and shift to POS since it's so complicated? Decentralization, that's why. But really, that's besides the point. Sure, ethereum is shifting to POS. Various successful coins are POS. Various successful coins are POW. None of that really matters. All that matters is that the implementation of blockchain is used successfully and that people agree to that. Who would have ever thought that a 100% pre-mine coin could ever succeed? The people at XRP, that's who. The point here: Blockchain use case and success is what matters despite personal preferences. Pre-mine doesn't really matter even if it can sometimes be a predictor of fraud.

Cryptocurrency is for freedom of choice. We need both the centralized and decentralized coins and both of POW and POS and whatever other proof we can work with. Cryptocurrency can be divided to different genre based on their objectives. An anonymity focused coin cannot be a POS or centralized.

that is the fact that nowadays, the new crypto currencies that launch ICO and send their tokens to the exchange will only last a few months, the longer the trading volume decreases and the price will fall and the altcoin becomes shitcoin.

Straight to the point! I like it! Been one time on ICOs, and I only faced dumped price when coin listed on the market. A bad thing I did, but it can be one of my lessons in the future.

Lessons I've learned is making a choice between a hodler and a trader. Experiencing huge gained in the name hodling forced me to learn the hard way. Now I have hodl portoflio and a trading portfolio.

What I have learned from Cryptocurrency is that money is based on trust. Also a community is very important in the crypto space as they are the building blocks of a successful coin

Me too don't really see anything wrong in having pre-mine but the 100% pre-mine on ripple is just ridiculous if true. Wonder why only few people criticize this so called Cryptocurrency while the attack is focus on a far more decent coin like Ethereum. Ripple is hardly even attacked nowadays, which makes no sense
Premine shouldn't be above 30% by the way. It should be well decentralized funding source

because majority cares about the revenue, not the tech from top of my head remember DO (75%, who cares) - what a crazy ride jeez

Apart from this you need some knowledge in crypocurrency so that you can research and develop the tactics of the market. Yes most of the coins hit and few dips but you need to invest in a right coin. Patience is a lethal weapon here I guess.

Mining helps to ensure decentralization, but I think that token distribution can also be decentralized enough if the team doesn't possess much more that 10% of the total supply. IMO the decentralization that matters is the one of the strong community with nobody owning a significant amount of coins in the end. If some token is very popular and about 80% of it is circulating in the global community, it's decentralized enough for me. What is bad with fiat is that even with major currencies like Euro or USD there are institutions that can make a huge impact, essentially keep everything under control. I agree with the op that as long as it works out well for the community, it's fine with whatever way of generating the coins.

So far, I have learnt that the market will not always go as planned. So do not be too hyper towards your expectations, cos they might be cut off at any point. Just take one step at a time, and be prepared for anything. \do not make investments that you cannot afford to lose, and be careful when making these investments too.

Ofcourse you are right it is kind of option like which one would you prefer. Same applies here for centralised and decentralised, and you cannot say how the market economy works as it will be changing depending upon the situation. Patience is a key for success here.

The lesson I learned on the basis of losing money in working with crypto currencies is that after investing it is necessary to work with crypto currencies every day without a weekend. Success awaits only hardworking crypto.

The traditional banking system has been being built for hundreds of years by now and we can see only minor strikes against this system around the world. It means that people are mostly happy with what they have. The minds have to be changed first.

I like that point you made at the last sentence. I do not get why many discard technical analysis and even say it does not work at all.
