They are growing quite rapidly, 2500 members joined the telegram today so they can probably do a good ICO, they are almost at 12K members.

I think the $150 giveaway / member is pulling lots of members to the table.

I have followed the Bytemine project for a while.

Just saw that Phillip Nunn was on the advisory board which makes me think this will be bigger than I expected.

I also checked up on Roger Tamraz, seems like he is worth $2 Billion and his businesses do $30 Billion / year in revenue, that are some insane numbers.

They are publicly listed on Frankfurt stock exchange, one of the biggest exchanges in the world. I think this might be one of the more exciting ICO:s this year because a publicly listed company need to really follow up on their promises, they can't just file for bankruptcy and that's that. Everything they say and do will have consequences, they have to really keep their promises.

Having the type of muscles they have this could become a true powerhouse, they have secured €50 Million already to grow the business. See this press release.

Let's see where they will list their token/coin, I hope they can secure the likes of Binance.

There are some good Token / Coin promotion services. If you PM I can suggest some, don't know if it follows the board rules to write it out in public.

I would agree to this, it's a good indicator but like Magiklair is saying the value wouldn't be zero if there was no demand.

It's my favourite wallet for Eth and ERC-20 tokens!

Of course , they fear crypto. It is cutting out their fees and banks are loosing a lot of business because of this. There was a thread here which mentioned that how banks are pushing news in media against bitcoins.

Even if your country has banned mining, you can carry put this in another country. Choose a country where mining is economical because of cheap electricity.

I think there should be some alternative for this transaction fees especially for smaller transactions. If somehow these transaction charges are eleimnated for small transactions, it will boost the bitcoin prices. However, it will take a lot of fixes to be done.

Following factors affect the prices of bitcoins mainly:

1) Latest news related to bitcoins. For instance, a negative news will result in price falling down.

2)

It is good, if there is any suspicious thing going on with bitcoins and it is caught, it is ultimately going to benefit only. Let us see what conclusion the agency comes to.

Most people love bitcoins because it has given huge returns on investment. Some people made more than 1000x by investing in bitcoins which is certainly a lot.

Are you asking which alt coins you should buy by exchanging BTC ? I would suggest you to go for monero and ethereum.

There had been hacking incidents in the past but they are very rare. These days exchanges are using serious security measures to avoid hacking incidents. 

I like a number of things about bitcoins:

1) No bank or government fees is involved.

2) It is so easy to carry large amount of money. Safety is also cheap.

Here is how to use this forum:

1) First read the rules in meta section.

2) Start with sections like beginners and help and bitcoin discussion.

3) The move to alt coins section and mining discussions.

Bank transaction charges and fees are really very painful. I see that they are charging poor uneducated people in my country and making money out of their ignorance. We certainly need this changed.

Seeing the progress this year, I doubt that it will reach $50000 this year. However, if you are investing for long term , expect $100000 in 2-3 years.

I agree with your opinion. People who became millionaires with bitcoins had the patience to wait for 5 -6 years after investing.

Yes, go for it and then live on streets when the prices drop further. We already had enough discussion on a similar question.

Yes, it is a good investment but only if you have patience to wait for months. Otherwise go for alt coins like TRON.
