If I ping "eth-eu1.nanopool.org" from cmd, it is 75 ms but the share acceptance time is 215 ms with same server.  Is it okay?  Yet, there were no invalid or stale shares, and I am getting around 30 shares per hour for 85 mh/s.

I have got this one

I am right now waiting for September 30.  Buying now is bit more risky.

Merit system is something that is to be earned not begged.  I myself having 0 "zero" merits, it maybe my posts are not interesting to people to give merits.  So just refrain from seeking merits, involve in community and learn.  Once you are good enough to earn merits, you will get them eventually.

Mine is ICX because it is the only reason that I am still on positive side in this bear market that I was able to enter on ICO, otherwise I would be completely rekt'ed.

I have got the same thoughts as yours.  Unless there is some extraordinary happening, it would not reach 1500 from 300 in three months.

Bulls are waiting for the solid ground to make a base to kick off.  Bulls are getting ready but yet to move on, busy making the base.

I would honestly say "no".  They are just giving you signals to pump the coin they have already bought while they are low price.  Just don't blindly follow them, do your own research also.  You may be buying high per their signals.

In my opinion, now is the best time to buy some good alts when all are down to almost 90% from their ATH.  It may can go down a little bit but alts market has crashed severe enough.  Do your due diligence and now can consider buying some good alts.

The way to free bitcoins is not worth time consuming, otherwise people would stop trading.  Faucets are also too retarding to wait for a withdrawable bitcoin to gather.  Best way is learn how to trade and practice.

Its a good idea to invest in ICO in bear market when ETH is cheap.  It will give more multiplication than in bull market when everything is high price.  But always, you need to figure out the good project from bad.

MTV Unplugged of Pearl Jam from 1992 is still a good listening to me.  Otherwise I would listen to scores from movies to relax my mind.  some of my favs are Time from inception, last of mohicans theme, forrest gump theme, etc.

Though bitcoin is losing value against dollar, in alts case, bitcon's value has increased a lot against alts.  It is proved with decreasing satoshi value of alts and also increasing BTC dominance.  That why alts are getting double hit.  They are losing satoshi value in top of decreasing bitcoin price.  Alts are sacrificing themselves.  So, I think this has nothing to do with bitcoin's dollar price.  When people will sell their dollar for bitcoin then bitcoin's dollar's price will increase, and catalyst for this is much hyped ETF approval.  People thinks enough new money will enter the market after ETF approval.

I think people are turning their alts into bitcoin in the hope of ETF approval and bitcoin will rise and buy back their alts in much less satoshi than now.

I will choose NEO.  Between two of them NEO has proved something than ADA.  ADA still has to walk long way.

That's why you can read everywhere regarding cryptocurrency "Never invest more than you can afford to lose".  Crypto is still in early stage and projects needs to establish themselves so when bear takes control people will quick dump the token they have because of uncertainty and to protect their investment and who did not get out will suffer and had to thrive until bull returns.  Who cannot afford to run on losses will definitely get bankrupt.

We are nearing the bottom.  TA shows bitcoin can go as low as 5200-5300 max.  To go any down further or crash, there should be a massive bad news.  Its frustrating time that bitcoin is going down so much but it is also an opportunity to buy bitcoin in cheap.

I think the 50K bull market has not begun yet.  We have not been in that silent period with very less volatility though currently volatility is decreasing.  For example, When you starts your trekking, what would you experience?  First you will travel through plains and then climb the hill and again down to plains and then another big hill and so on.  Such that, we have just climbed the hill and now we are downsloping, we have not found that plains yet.  Good news is that hills are getting smaller and smaller that means we are nearing the plains, and also we have to travel through that plains before we get another hill to climb up.  So, I think 50K or may be 100k btc is still very far than we are expecting.

Lack of knowledge is the reason behind most people panicking in this bear market.  It may be either they bought token in FOMO or the shitcoin they bought was advertised as bitcoin, but ether way we can learn from these.  Not every crypto that you see advertised in every social media is a good one.  People need to unfollow the hype and follow technology and build their knowledge base.

People are speculating on news more than real value of bitcoin these days and also volatility is based on that, but I believe bitcoin is here to stay, no matter how much dip it takes, it will rise again, not parabolic like last time but an steady growth is much better for bitcoin.
