Cryptocurrency is organized for crime? I don't think so...though majority maybe using it but it solely to create privacy for ones spending.By virtue of that many organized crime may prefer using Bitcoin to keep the traces of there financial activities from securities.

Hodling motivation is affected by so many reasons, earlier this year most people who planned to hodl one coin or the other eventually sold it at a cheap price because they rely solely on it for living. The best motivation for holdling is when you have other source of income than crypto,it will allow you to expect less of instant yield or profit from crypto investment.

It is now very clear that for years to come BTC will still remain the king, ETH recent fall in price and XRP overtaking ETH to reach second position earlier last week shows that the new king is the existing king which BTC.

Some people intentionally create FUD for the market so that they can get more opportunity to buy and accumulate. I see the current situation of BTC as just a manipulation for the better whales who has seen the future.

For beginners cryptocurrency is not so hard to understand if one see the right tool and the right person to put one through. But most still come with the ponzi idea into cryptocurrency which is something totally different from it. Ability to look for the right source makes the understanding better.

I agree with you, bounty and airdrop reward can turn out to be huge if one is very patient. I have benefitted from several projects as well that turned out to be of huge amount equivalent in FIAT. Do much bounty and airdrop as much as you can in the bearish period sincerely it will pay off later.

One of the properties of a good trader is ability to predict the movement of the market. But it may not be really advisable to make prediction during sharp uptrend or sharp downtrend because most predictions made at this period seems not to work out fine.

What I look in ICO before putting any capital is the utility of the project and the possible adoption rate. If these two is guaranteed then I research on the team if they can really meet up with the proposed project. This is what has been guarding me in my investment in ICOs.

Government can ban BTC in one country not all, all country have their right to choose whether to accept it or not and not all can see BTC in the same perspective. It is not to be denied that if some country denies it some will want to take the same step but it the nearest time I see the use of crypto going mainstream.

To start trading cryptocurrency full time I would recommend babypips college online to learn technical analysis. Investopedia and some sort of sites also help in stock and crypto analysis. The better you learn the more profit you make and the more you see opportunities.

I have no reason to abandon crypto, I invested so little and have gotten more than enough from it in short time. It is better to just stick to it and see what holds in the future for this market.

Most ICO rating sites collect funds from sponsored project to rate them high and the reviews done on these project are most time done from the project team which gives the investors wrong information of what the project is really made of. ICO rating sites need review from critiques to make them more legit.

Even though am still new to crypto as I wouldn't compared myself to those that have been in it for years, I have gained balance financially due to tradings and airdrops and it has helped a lot on getting easily to know how stock market work.

So surprised to see ETH at $250 today, I tried checking what might have caused it but it seems there is no explanation clear to me yet why it is dipping this much.

Definitely I do my research on ICOs before taking decisions of weather to invest in it or not, not all ICO have a standard and capable team to perform the project before them. Am picky with ICOs.

The next thing for BTC now is a price uptrend assuming it got accepted by the ETF. SEC said earlier this week that they are not the one delaying ETF decision but I feel after ETF announcement, the price will either drop heavily or rise crazily.

This is a good time to invest in ETH since BTC is going on uptrend, ETH is most likely the coin that will follow after the BTC bull run

The best thing to do i n the crashing period is to be patient and hodl, but if no source of another income it might be hard. Alos, crashing period is always having a lot of opportunities to open a new trade.

I think finding bounty program would mean looking for new project that is about to kick start. It is just as easy as finding ICO projects because most likely there's always form of a bounty by projects under ICO or presales to get awareness of investors.

I don't see BTC to be bottomed out, but if this is the case then that would mean another alt such as ETH as taken over and in this case cryptomaniacs will only miss BTC not totally the trading of crypto.
