Ethereum does seem to be by far the most promising chain currently. I like that it has the potential to be a superset of very many of the use cases for the other chains.

As much as I think Neo is highly undervalued I don’t think it’s doing so bad as a currency considering it’s growth from last year (x140). I think with projects like NEX and nOS coming up Neo will eventually have a break out and become a dominant platform. I love the road map out in place for the smart economy and I’m waiting for 2020 to see how big Neo gets.

Just because an ICO exists, doesn't mean you or anyone else needs to invest into it.

This is the "YOR" part of "DYOR". Don't trust shills, don't focus on ads, don't listen to news reports.. do your own research.

If you can't manage that then don't invest in ICOs.

Yup. Bought that top in march 2017 sometime in the mid $20's. Told myself I would be delighted if I got 50% ROI at the end of the year. Been a roller coaster ride since....Nothing is REALLY delusional

70% of alt coins will fail in the next 9 months? What kind of math have you been drinking?
Define fail? As in low volume trading or not meeting expectations? Even exit scams like confido and bitconnect are still being traded daily

There are no suicide hotline threads yet. This morning, I woke up, and I did not want to puke on my shoes. Sorry man, we are far from despair.  slow down there cowboy.....the last bear market was drawn out about 2 years...remember 1300 to 200?

I'm anticipating the bear market to last into Q1 and Q2 of 2019. For the next 6-12 months, I am not seeing anything in crypto as a good investment. I'd much rather save my money and invest during a bull market than DCA all the way down and hope one day a bull market comes...

Yeh retail bubble burst. The institutional bubble will come next. It won’t come till many things are ready like regulations and ETFs and insurance and better custodians and all this. Might not be this year.

I will take $1000 of my portfolio and spread it evenly across the entire top 100 list on coinmarketcap, and make a seperate ghost portfolio to track it and I will post the results on YouTube every 3 days, and post the link here. Anyone want to do the same ... for science?

I believe ETH will go for that as it's historical record since from existence , but that need a lot more time than some months , the whole market suffer and eth suffer more

I wish I am as optimistic as you. I'm actually preparing myself mentally for the ETF rejection, followed by a market dump and finally the market trading sideways until all my pubic hair falls off.

in any ICO, transparency is important. Communication is key in providing updates in what’s going on with the project. Looking for in depth information on the team behind the project. Is the ICO doing something unique that can help push crypto even further. I feel these are some of the things that are most important before throwing your money into something like an ICO.

Ethereum is the safest bet by far, but you won't see any serious gains.

ICX, VEN, XRB, ENG are all pretty safe but have potential for 2-10x.

I'm interested because the implications of each coin are so interesting when thinking about their effect on day to day life and the machine based economy I believe will grow by leaps and bounds in the next several decades. I also invest in crypto because I enjoy day trading but current PDT laws prevent me from doing so with less than 25k in the stock market (which I also love)

I think its also good to remember when people shill their coin on reddit, they are not doing it to make you money, the dont care about you. They only care for themselves and that is to get their coin in the spotlight so more people will buy it and shill it to make more money.

I do it, you do it, we alld ot it. But its good to keep that in mind

now is the right time to accumulate as the prices of every alt coin is very low. as soon as this segwit things goes off and project start announcing good development the coins will recover soon.

Bitcoin has some features that are not palatable for banks and some business. For them, Etherium and Ripple are a better fit. Isn’t it possible that semi-private blockchain projects like Etherium and Ripple are like intranets — a better way to communicate within a semi-trusted environment — something that can be complimentary to the public bitcoin blockchain?

Once big money comes in I’d say eth will be around $1600 USD no problem. For a coin that has faster transactions, a real working platform, and the next best alternative to bitcoin, it’s still way undervalued

hitbtc has no kyc in priori , but they can hold your funds ans ask you to bypass kyc to withdrawn , so one that trade there should be conscient of this eventuel situation

Too many people keep blaming others or whales or icos or news, etc.

Really, it is just normal market action for everything. We will likely return to a bull market in late 2019 maybe mid 2019 but we will need an extended period of consolidation and mass market education/awareness growth before then.
