We all talk about price this coins in the future. But if we compare BTC and ETH, we will see Ethereum is something more than p2p payment system and even the platform for ICO's and smart contracts. Ethrereum network finds application in different areas. For example, the National Research Council of Canada is using the Ethereum blockchain to proactively publish grants and contribution data in real time, a measure that complements ongoing quarterly proactive disclosures available through the Open Government website. https://nrc-cnrc.explorecatena.com/en

Ethereum classic?! Are you kidding? There is no real value. The only thing supporters come up with, is that it's not under control of the ethereum foundation, but it's just hyped because it has the same name, see bitcoin gold, bitcoin diamond, etc.

What are you talking about? What kind of investment is "investment spreadsheets"? I can't understand it

If you don't have to cash out tomorrow, keep calm. You may trade a bit or hodl or buy, do your crypto business as usual. Just don't panic. You all are pros, you all have invested only the money you can afford to lose. So what.

It isn't the end yet. Go with the flow, don’t over react. Wait for the tide to turn. This is when people panic and end up getting caught out. Yes ofcourse if you have a good idea go for it. But don’t stress when it is out of your hands, you either take your money or you accept it could be gone or maybe make life changing money. That’s what I tell myself anyway

I cannot see why anyone would use Litecoin as a currency. It lacks Bitcoin's brand and academic backing, and has fees/latency unlike a DAG.
I do hold some though as I believe everything on Coinbase will get a nice pump when the noobs enter the market.

Neo already has massive value. With some research I'm sure one could find 10 projects with a better future growth outlook

Nano ($2.73) is so juicy at the moment...

0x ($0.90) as well.

and Matrix AI ($0.56)

To me, the smartest people in this space are the ones who have stood by bearish opinions in the last 6 months who were formerly bullish, people like Tone Vays, Richard Heart. If you still aren't taking bearish arguments seriously, you risk becoming a bear when the market else switches back to bullish.

The standards for a good crypto project are completely skewed since there is nothing to compare them to besides each other. When you have complete vaporwares and shitcoins like Verge with total market cap of $500Million it's easy to tell yourself that the projects you picked are "good" in comparison.
Likewise business/economics inexperienced people reading white papers for the first time or watching an advertisement made by their company and feeling impressed is just as insignificant of a judgment.

Yeah, right now the value behind the actual technology is much less than trying to make profits in FIAT. Let that sink in.

True. I guess as with any speculative investment you have to weigh up these risks....feasibility, adherence to timeline, etc. A specced out project which is on target isn't really just promises and hype.

All of these courses and trainings are complete bullshit and the math doesn’t even add up. The ones who make these predictions have zero knowledge on any industries. To make it worse, there’s a lot of YouTube accounts with big following shilling these garbage. So you have the idiots making conclusions on something they know nothing about, and their favourite YouTuber shilling the same garbage. You wonder how we get so many echo chambers in this market.

I think the only thing that will remove the correlation and cause-and-effect relationship between bitcoin price and the rest of the market is for one of the altcoins to breakout with a real-world product that is adopted for real-world use on a massive global scale by everyday people who don't invest in crypto

It seems to me that the market is run by the same maybe few thousand people maybe even one hundred people and they just keep manipulating the price of everything. nobody is going to make money unless you swing trade like they clearly do. That seems to be the beginning of this year anyway. It's already Q2 and tons of good news came out but nothing is happening

This time of dip is a time for you to buy if you want investment. But if you are afraid to the risk it has better put your money in the bank.

When you invest in something there is always a risk. The same is with ICO. Not all of them are scams some of them just cannot complete all the tasks. But I agree with all who are telling that large amount of ICO like 70% are just scamming because you can gather a lot of money.  
My advice if you invest in something then analyze it from all perspectives. Don't be greedy and don't invest with blindfolded eyes.

Crypto news is everywhere. You can find it here, in social media and in search engines like google. But most of the time, I get my news from this forum. People here are quick. They know instantly about fresh news however, some maybe unreliable. You can read them all, but choose what you believe in.

Remember guys, it's never a bad idea to step back and spend some time on the other things in your life. If you're not a day trader, trust me, your investment is still going to be here a week/month/year's time.

But what we have at the moment
- Long term fundamentals are still in a place where nothing has changed in the last 18 months.
- Security is still crap.
- Cryptos are still not user friendly.
- Cryptos are still VERY difficult to purchase for the average investor.
- Merchants integration and general adoption of cryptos is still crap.

Ask yourself, if cryptos disappeared tomorrow would it fundamentally change anything for the average person who isn't speculating on them?
Also ask yourself, how many people are still left in crypto who aren't planning to dump as soon as the price goes higher?
