Binance has been a leading force with respect to initial exchange offering (IEO) evidenced by its extraordinary success in raising funds for crypto startupa via its Launchpad. The likes of Gifto, Bread, BitTorent, Fetch.Ai, Celer Network, Elrond, Perlin, Kava, Injective Protocol have successfully met their funding goals via Binance IEO.

My concern, however, is in the performance of its recent IEOs such as thoseof Injective Protocol(INJ) and Axie Infinity (AXS). In the past, investors are often certain of getting almost ×10 of their capital once the token is launched after IEO but these two tokens hardly did ×2 of their IEO price. Does it mean that the Binance Effect is already waning or has weakened?

AXS was sold at $0.1 at IEO price but only breezed to $0.29 briefly while INJ sold at $0.4 managed to hit $1.49 as its brief ATH. These results are unlike Binance's past IEOs which made investors jostle to get in to the launchpad.

Do you think that it the end of Binance IEO has come or the exchange would rediscover its earlier form?

Let me know your opinion.

Filecoin does have good potential going forward, prices on the exchange are currently quite high. Listed on 35 exchanges. But after the ICO is over, of course there will be price changes, drops. However I think it will get better soon even though the price drops.

Chinese authorities have seized nearly 7000 crypto mining machines that are illegally consuming electric power, really hope this won't affect bitcoin in any way? And why are people doing this? Prove of staking is a better option and no one will ever know you are mining anything, i am not saying POW miners are bad but illegally? Come on! It's not worth taking such risk when they know they can be caught, they can earn same profits from Staking

For that I feel more secure to invest in dibitcoin only, especially with a long period of time. Because we know that no one is able to stop bitcoin. It's different if we invest in altcoin where someone can make the coins to ashes. If I were going to invest in altcoin, surely those were the best coins and would not hold them for a long time. I have also been trapped in a ponzi scheme for that I always ensure security for my investment.

2019 is finally coming to an end, i can't help but keep thinking that huge money will flow into crypto world soon, here are few reasons to back my claim

1. Banks are very slow in their reaction towards virtual currencies yet by now over 70% of central banks around the world are looking into crypto.

2. Major changes will surely rise because bigger transnational organizations are showing interest in crypto.

3. China is really leading the way with their upcoming owned central bank digital currency (CBDC) which will be the first of its kind.

4. To add to this list of mine i read somewhere that Mark Zuckerberg is pointing out to China as the reasons why U.S should act quickly in regard to crypto, he personally believes that U.S needs to see more progress with cryptocurrencies.

Honestly i believe Libra is supposed to bring a new huge changes to the world of international transactions but who can predict what will happen about Libra? Because Bitcoin is still the mother of all cryptocurrencies and Libra still relies on fiat currencies as underlying assets. Bitcoin is decentralized and other crypto assets with their own use cases and purposes will likely keep existing side by side of bitcoin. Wrong? Or Right? Drop me your points

Hi guys i read on the news that major few exchanges are delisting some altcoins that falls to keep up due to present bear market, for example poloniex exchange is delisting Omni and primecoin and others, what do you have to share about this?

Some are saying its good to invest in old coins now few old coins are dying, I believe they've met the end of their roadmap, no more excitement about them, this is why i still feels that newer coins will take the bigger advantage of future greenish market, what do you think?

I believe if not all of the cryptos can be stored and sold through use the germany bank but it must be there will be some qualifications that must be passed by the altcoins to able listed on the list. It will never be the germany banks will be added any crypto without seeing the qualifications of the crypto itself.
This just like when you are seeing a cryptucouncilrating created by US exchange sites members like coinbase, bittrex and etc. Major crypto might have added by im not sure if that will be a lot of kind altcoins will be added.

In my view, IEO is not all profitable despite being on a large or small exchange because in IEO it only offers security from fraudulent projects while the concept of the project is not much different from before. so when investing you have to be really careful to find a good project, because in IEO the security features can work well, especially if in a large exchange

In some cases where a token price crashes soon after listing on the Exchange, the blames has over time been attributed to the bounty hunters and sometimes to early investors that received certain bonuses.

Do you think 40% bonus for early investors is too much and capable of crashing token price?

We are saving for a house down payment of 40K.  I don't want to leave it in the bank as there is a old judgement they can take any time so i want to store it in crypto as we grow it over the next 6 months.  Is a stable coin the best option?  Thoughts?

Yeah every coins has it's pros and cons and we cannot all altcoin will be delisting on exchanges, as long as the coin has it's demand and the community still support the coin and also the team of the coins always developing it, i'm sure it will last long in the market except a coin that has not clear background and the daily volume is under 10k USD

Few of my colleagues told me they quit bounty because many new projects are finding it very difficult to reach soft cap and those who manages to reach softcap ends up listing on ridiculous exchanges because of listing fee, a part of me feels like they are right because if a new project fails to aim for top exchange its game over,  the question now is why promoting new projects then?

I am not sure about this. According to the media reports, the dump by the scammers started a few weeks back. But when I check the charts, I can see that Bitcoin is up by around 6%. Some of the other cryptocurrencies have also gained value. From what we know, the Plus Token scam involved the following amounts:

180,000 BTC
6,400,000 ETH
111,000 USDT
53 OMG

This is a partial/incomplete list, but you can see that BTC is among the stolen funds. So I am really surprised with the Bitcoin rally today.

Nikolai Udianskyi, one of the main 10 blockchain business visionaries, reported that he has left Coinsbit and built up a showcasing organization PRMR.com which draws in interest in Ukraine and around the globe.

Udianskyi, Coinsbit’s CEO and fellow benefactor said he sold his organization enthusiasm to ITECOSYSTEM OU. Coinsbit, which Forbes recorded as one of Asia’s TOP-10 blockchain firms in 2018, has as of late pulled in 1.1 million clients to record.

what impressed me here was to wait for an uncertain thing from the token distribution team the results of the bounty campaign ... and in the end they fled regardless of the bounty hunters who had participated for several months on their project ... really impressive despite feeling angry and disappointed ... but it is an experience for all of us ... so that in the future we can choose projects that have a qualified and professional team.

I've read people asking and posting how to protect their wallet but apart from educating yourself on how to protect your wallet, private keys and passwords, It's also very important that you protect yourself from exposing your portfolio you don't go around telling friends and random people, coins that you are keeping.
And also It's important to have other businesses or jobs and not rely on all your needs to Cryptocurrency, people will notice this and they will think you are making a fortune from Cryptocurrency and they might target you.

So are you protecting yourself and how do you protect yourself and your family?

As a trader in cryptocurrency, of course you really enjoy the moment of falling prices experienced by bitcoin, because you can take advantage of this opportunity to get profit when prices start to rise again.
Ups and downs prices in the cryptocurrency world has become commonplace, but taking the opportunity to make money is a very extraordinary thing.
