What do you mean by pump and dump most of the project still running based on speculation and News . Even being in traditional equity security trader it was common . Pumps and dumps happen for sure . we cant control in any trading platform . But in crypto space its bit more because its still new . We can restrict for some far by removing chat bot in trading platform.

Its your own decision what you want to do in your money, we cannot help you about that but if i am the one who has more btc at this moment i will buy altcoin that i think is cheap at this moment, and if you have already altcoin that bought high price you should decide which is you think is good cut loss or wait a little more longer.

Hey guys, do you think It is better to hold main crypto currencies like bitcoin it ether? Or you hold all your money in alt coins?

I think the reason why some ICOs are failing because they do not have good and promising project to everybody that is why there are no investors who would like to join. Many investors are so picky in ICOs, so if they want for investors to join they should have prpmising projects and useful projects to everybody.

Who are holding the coins with a ray of hope. It is not going to end good guys. Sell what you have, atleast you can get something out of it. If you are in the last batch who are left with the coins, you will not even get a condom with it.

This year cryptos will goto oblivion. End of days.

India's unfavorable crypto stance and more countries to follow.

I warned you people 2 weeks ago, still there is time. Get out of this with minimum losses.

Well actually the alt market has been dropping vs bitcoin for 4-5 months look at the top 20 coins and zoom out

 Under normal conditions the prices of Bitcoin and altcoin are suppose to rise during the world cup festival in Russia because there are going to be more activities that will make use of cryptocurrency.  No doubt gambling and betting activities are going to skyrocket very soon during the world.

I believe so, yes we need altcoins.
A healthy competition is always a good thing, after all, ICOs of the past is what made bitcoin at present as we know it.
It's just like light and dark, we can never recognize without the other.

I think it is not important to pay for ETH or token projects. Most importantly, the projects will keep the promise and pay for us. I am very scared to encounter scam projects on this forum

You might want to consider their timeline, i.e. where do they plan on listing the token in an exchange or how many days/weeks/months until the bounty participants receive their reward. This is a must know as it might be disadvantageous for the bounty participants if they unknowingly join a bounty only to know that their tokens will be vested for 6 months.

Yes you correctly have made that have focused attention on this topic.Indeed a lot of scams under the guise of airdrop collect information about You.That's why I don't participate in all airdrop.If the company is good and it conducts transparent airdrop, then you can easily participate.

Manager. If you join under reputable bounty/campaign managers, the project will likely ended succesfull although it's not always 100% true.
Funds during ICO. Some people joined on ICOs which have raised huge amount to make sure they will get paid when ICO done.

I don't really understand why EOS has so huge market cap. Is it not the point that we all have to worry about? They planned to launch the main net earlier, but at this moment it does not work normally. The same situation with TRON

There could be several reasons for this: people want an instant reward and they transfer their coins into fiat money; or they exchange the received tokens into a preferred coins like BTC, ETH, etc.

ICO's are risky yet smart investment if you do it in the right one! I mean I know choosing an ICO is big task but with few efforts you can really make this go green in the future. I have been selecting ICO on the basis of personal criteria. For example, ICO's with unique ideas and having working product or services is always something out of the box and one step forward towards the success of ICO. I mean they could just grab the funds and develop their products on mass level and thus growing the market for themselves in all the ways possible. This is why I am not leaving an ICO investment yet as great projects are still developed but they are rare to find.

Hmm... you are right. I have seen threads here which accuse ICOs such as Impressio and Uchit to be scams. And they have been flagged as scams by some of the ICO review sites as well. I feel sorry for those users who participated in their bounty campaigns. All of their effort has been wasted.

if it beats BTC yes but to pass the bitcoin price it is very difficult for Ethereum in 2018
but for the long term of course Ethereum can be more expensive than bitcoin

Do not do it ever. even when you really like the altcoin, do not limit yourself with it. You should better pick at least ten cryptocurrencies and add them to your portfolio.

Yes, it is true that the longer the bounty campaign end the lesser token you will likely to get because as the bounty extend, the more participants will come and the more people will share will that allocated token.
