I am also being demoted and it's quite disappointing too, However I believe new rules can create a long term positive impact on the forum. Previously it's quite easy to get promote into Jr. Member position but now newbies actually needs to contribute to the forum to earn their rank. Only concern of mine is how often senior members or higher ranking members pay attention to newbies contributions for reward them.

I can understand the concept of rewarding structure, However, In my opinion its quite difficult to get the attention from senior member or higher ranking members for newbies and chances are very low. I believe your story could make some influence on rewarding newbies for their contribution and support them, to overcome the recent newly- Demoted newbie situation.

Its known fact that Ethereum is one of the leading coin in the market of ICO projects - this is the main reason for its popularity. Thanks to the global crypto-active downtrend, there was a decline in the ICO , which directly affected the cost of Ethereum. Today I learned from the news that the CBOE is preparing to enter futures for Ethereum, as it was with the Bitcoin.

On my own experience that matters, We must be patient and certainly not too quick in taking a decision in order not to disadvantage us in various ways. Study the market and act accordingly.

In my opinion, I can not agree with the statement, because I still believe that btc is the best long term investment and it is gonna be extremely profitable soon.

When negative news enters into the market it has a very strong effect on the price of coins.  However I believe everything will be fine and in a couple of days the market will recover.

In my opinion, market condition at the present time is not attractive and highly affect on ICO project sales !! additionally some project don't have enough preparation to launch ICO project and properly conduct market analysis thays why they have to postpone or paused sales. Always set rules and limit to keep your asset safe and take minimal risk when enter the market. However never lost faith with crypto because there are higher potential related to crypto market.

You have done a pretty good job by making 12 Bitcoins over 6 months. I think the best strategy is to continue what you were doing last 6 months !!
It might better to invest on ETH as price is very low !!

Well most of the time when coin listed in a exchange price will hold it price for certain time ! its best to sell at the beginning of a listing or neet hold the coin for while to see how market move and sell according to market trend !!

The whitepaper of a ICO provides a detailed insight of the project including project roadmap, development, technical details and many more.Those are the main facts we can determine the credibility of the project and its approach. I think whitepaper of a ICO is really important however With or without the whitepaper and it can be turned into a scam any moment and sometimes crypto investment are risky than it seems to be.

It's really hard to identify and decide which ICO is to invest to with a good credential, as there are lots of scams !! However there are highly potential projects, too. Study and invest !!

Long-term investments are very risky, we need to research and study a lot about each coin / token in order to understand what kind of project it is and whether it will be in demand in the future. But also long-term investments are most profitable.

Yeas . Current ETH price is disturbing for most of ETH investors but I think this is a good time to buy ETH for long run. ETH will recover it's value for sure !!

In my opinion, ICO investment one of good approach of investment, however you must have basic knowledge and awareness of the specific coins .

Gather information and determine the credibility of current ICOs available using recognized ICO listing sites, Then you can understand the real potential of the project and it's future stand. Specially go trough the white paper and the social profile of the project !!  As there are many scam ICO available to steal money !!

.

 I have mostly used ETH for long-term investment and participate in ICOs, I believe ETH will gain good market value like bitcoin in the future !!!  I think positively about the value of ETH.

Yeas !! It seems market moving in decreasing trend and it's bit quite hard to predict what will happen next as ETH price is now below $ 300, However I'm sure market will recover somehow as there are many factors affect on crypto market value fluctuation. All we have to do is hold and stay for right time !!

Well I can agree with the statement for some extent !! Yeas most of altcoins prices get affected by the prices of BTC and ETH. However if the project is promising and solid altcoin has the ability to hold it value and gain more what ever the market condition is !!

Yeas it could be possible as prices will go up and down overnight sometimes !! who ever invest need to be vigilant enough about the market movement to make right investment and gain some money !!

I believe price variation of the bitcoin made a huge impact on most of Alcoins prices. Crypto market showing some sort of a complex and decreasing trend but I'm sure market will recover soon with positive output !!

Considering the market share of both the coins, they are really potential but Eth is my personal favorite. ETH is a very potential coin and has a bright future ahead. Beside the technology they use is way better than many. For this I prefer Eth.
