Basically an app that assists you in your trading. It allows people of all expertise to start trading crypto. It reduces risk but targeting small daily profits as oppose to risking alot, with little knowledge of the markets.

They are also releasing 'Taylor Academy' which aims to deliver world class educational content on cryptocurrencies. From technical analysis, trading strategy to fundamental analysis on projects. Delivered from some of the biggest influencers in the crypto world!

They have an all star advisor team. One of the most promising ICO's in my opinion. And still time to get it.

Disclaimer: I have invested in this project.

As a base reference - BTC has fallen -54.73% from ATH

Monero - 52.6%
Litecoin - 53.68%
Ethereum Classic - 56.07%
OmiseGo - 56.5%
VeChain - 59.43%
Ethereum - 59.62%
NEO - 61.21%
Lisk - 64.90%
EOS - 66.76%
Stellar - 71.64%
Dash - 73.02%
IOTA - 74.89%
Bitcoin Gold - 75.71%
Qtum - 80.62%
Ripple - 81.53%
Cardano - 83.44%
NEM - 85.53%
TRON - 86.88%
Bitcoin God - 87.52%

Do people think we've hit the bottom?
Have we seen the worst of the bloodbaths?

If by trading you mean as a payment system, lightning network will reduce both fees and transaction times. There is alot of innovation in regards to BTC right now.
If by trading you mean like Forex trading, once price fluctuations stabilise, this will be a thing.
If by trading you mean used a a base currency to trade alts - this is a thing.

If you bought the top, there can be a logical reason to sell at these levels. If your TA/FA analysis suggests that price is to fall further, you sell your position to buy back in lower. this obviosuly doesnt make sense if you bought below 5k as you lose your position.

Why do people on here repeat the answer to posts for pages and pages?? If the answer to the initial question has been answered, dont repeat that answer. Obviously if you have additional information to add then that is different. But every thread i read, there is numerous people just blindly repeating what has already been said. The initial question is 'whats 2+2?' and then theres about 10 pages of 'the answer is 4'  It just creates so much useless noise on threads. How much nicer would it be if you could go into threads and it was just concise constructive debates and answers!

Lets all make an effort to clean up the forums

I agree that books can be a great source of information for crypto. I perosnally love Andreas Antonopoulos - the Internet of Money.
However, in regards to courses - The University of Berkeley teach have a blockchain course that can be accessed for free online. Its very in depth - would recommend. They also have a course for developers.I will post the links of both below. Furhtermore, princeton university also teach a Blockchain/cryptocurrency course. Once again, its pretty extensive. These are two very well respected institutions, there is lots to learn from both.

Enjoy!

Most of the funds generated from an ICO will be re invested into further developing the project. The information regarding the split of the token sales is often found on the whitepaper of a project. When you invest in ICO's you dont pay in Fiat, you send crypto, often Eth. If the owners wanted to cash this out, they would use an exchange such as coinbase, like you and I.

I have experience trading forex on IQ option, although most of my trading was done on MetaTrader 5, and i can say that technical analysis(TA) does work in crypto. Many of the same strategies/indicators can be transferred across. For charting software i would recommend 'tradingview' for all binance/bittrex/polonoiex coins. And 'Coinigy' for your small caps/cryptopia coins. As in Forex, there is no god mode perfect strategy that prints money. It will be a case of learning the fundamentals of TA, and learning to apply them in a way that suits your style most effectively. I will post the links to TradingView and Coinigy below. Hope this helps.

To say that TA doesnt work is not true. TA can't predict the future, but we're playing a game of numbers here and TA(if implemented correctly) can give you an edge

There are a bunch of really interesting projects behind these alts, also a good way to diversify your portfolio

I am expecting eth it hit $500 in this month, before retracing to new all time highs. Use these dips to by low, and educate yourself about the market. so that when times are good, you can capitalize

the word scam is being thrown around alot in this thread and its not justified at all. Im not saying you should be pouring all your money into hashflare, but i'd be pretty suprised if it was a ponzi. The payouts are frequent and reliable, and hashflare handle themselves well. Obviously with BTC at this price, cloud mining(mining in general) isnt that profitable.

Im sure you've used this before but just incase i will post a mining profitability calculator to asses how profitable your contact is and how long it would take to recoup your initial investment.

FUD is never a good thing. Investors holding a certain level of scepticism over projects can be healthy, but outright FUD is just destructive.  OP is just salty he bought the top. Should prob chill out, im sure it wont be the last time we see $1400 eth.

STORM -

The team is solid(no all stars) but their advisory board is a team of MVPs for sure.
Here is a list of some of their advisors -
Bill Shihara - CEO & Founder of Bittrex
Charles Hoskinson - CEO of IOHK(Cardano) + Former CEO/Co-founder Ethereum
Anthony Di Lorio - CEO & Founder of Jaxx + Founder at Ethereum
Tom Bollich - Founder Member at Zynga.

Btw, STORM is a token that is earned by playing/buying games so those partnerships with Jaxx and Zynga(Zynga poker/Words with Friends/Farmville) are huge.

yeah journal is a great bit of advice, thanks. I have had one previously but have slacked with it recently. Will make sure i go back to daily entries!

is it bad that im bullish on ripple?? As others have stated, XRP sort of epitomises what we hate about fiat, but i do think ripple will bounce. But in regards to your question OP, buy ETH

I really cant see ICX's market cap being 40billion come the end of the year. To get to a 40billion market cap you have to have an ETH type adoption. Having said that i am bullish in ICX and can see it making a run for top 10.
