A lot more than I should to be honest and the profit are probably less than they should to be honest. I am doing good as a trader? I know I am not but I am still here meaning I have a chance to better myself and I will get better at this game everyday.

I don't think it would be controversial actually but the only reason I think it is this way is because of how the media paints the picture. They try and say that bitcoin is an underground currency, or that bitcoin is bad and blockchain is good but they really have their head up their asses on this one. Bitcoin couldn't be any more harmonious and you will witness this once the world is changed for the better.

Don't worry first of and secondly if you are losing money so is everybody else in the industry. I think I have lost 20% from the peak of my portfolio in like 3-4 days it was a natural correction, hang strong dude everything should be aces soon.

Apparently they are looking to restructure and call them IBOs (intial bounty offerings) that would be quite comical. True because that does occur but funny because I think that would be to get the ICO name out the mud. I am not excited for ICOs in 2018 especially when companies like Telegram are beginning to make them. Please if I wanted to own a "gram" I would get some green stuff .

I saw that article the other day and thought wait we are already doing IBOs but they are prior to the ICOs why isn't this already a thing? Well perhaps apparently we should make it a thing because ICOs have gotten a nasty image in the media now I think and IBOs may help set the record straight. There have been a lot of other names used recently it is a matter of which one will catch the industry next. Will it be TGE (token generation event), or the ITO (intial token offering) or the CGE (coin generation event) who knows but we gotta get a rebrand soon.

That sucks friend they are probably not stuck but yet to be confirmed in a transaction. Find the txid and enter it on the bitcoin explorer here https://blockexplorer.com/. Alternatively you can see if your transcation is stuck and unconfirmed on blockchain info website which can be found here https://blockchain.info/es. I hope that resolves your case for you, it not keep asking the community we will surely help you out .

Each exchange has their own different formulas and algorithms for placing a price on bitcoin and that is based on volume and how much btc is in the system I believe. I prefer to trade on Cryptopia mainly but that is because I first began there and on top of that I enjoy their interface and night mode. Easy to browse and never had an issue with support!

Nope they are shitcoins made out of thin air by random unknown devs and as far as I know they were scams. Ethereum Dark is for sure a scam that has been around since September and Ethereum Cash it the same kind of deal. Don't know about Ethereum Gold because I got tired of these scams and airdrops and didn't even bother participating in that one because of all the previous scams.

I seriously don't understand why everybody is dead set on putting all their money into cryptocurrencies. It isn't a guarnteed thing people despite the fact there will be much growth in this area, nothing is a guarnteed thing! I would tell you to take all your money out of stocks and invest at most 50% here. That way if you mess up you can invest more but you won't end up being broke neither. For exchanges try sticking to the top ones to begin as they will serve you best most probably. That includes exchanges like Poloniex, Bittrex, Binance, and Bitfinex.

Rule number one of trading is to never go all in and it is for basically the reason you described. You don't want to feel stuck in a trade and if you go all in your gonna feel a whole range of emotions based on where you are at. Regardless whether that is positive or negative you will feel not good throughout and that is why it is better to diversify your assets, especially in crypto where assets are volatile.

They both have their upside really and their downsides. The pros for trading are that you can make more money but you must risk more as well. And for campaigns the money is less but it is risk-free and since they are different in nature it depends on the person. I personally prefer to try doing both as I am on the forums a bit may as well get something out of it. Yet I actively trade and try to maximize every trade I can.

Cheap coins don't matter it is the ROI that matters in the end. I like all the picks you have except Ripple, and even then you can get into Ripple but perhaps right now is not the best time for entry.

I don't know the exact number but the amount raised is roughly 36.5 million has been raised. Taking a rough average estimate as 0.9 cents for each token sold we would have roughly 40 million tokens sold as of now.

Aren't we all here? I feel like that was a big reason why most got involved with cryptos anyways and seeing these decisions does not surprise me at all. It will be a constant struggle for the next 5 years until we are all on the same page and stop the fighting.

Monetary Unit (MUE) has active development not sure how often they update their github though. Has been around since 2014 and they switched algos from Quark to X11 a few months back.

Onions should be a good investment for next year but I now I gotta look into this Credits too. One thing is for sure people want to be anonymous online and people are slowly realizing bitcoin is not that way. This will for sure give rise to at least 5 anon coins in the top 25 and currently there is only 3. That means two of these smaller coins will infiltrate their way up top, only question is which one?

Didn't even know they existed and when I went to the ANN page it was locked up. With zero link to a new ANN that doesn't inspire much confidence let alone make me want to invest in it...

They aren't the only ones who stopped accepting payment in bitcoin. Steam last month also stop accepted bitcoin due to the fees read here https://www.theverge.com/2017/12/6/16743220/valve-steam-bitcoin-game-store-payment-method-crypto-volatility

Nobody is crying but concern is being aired about what is going on and I am extremely worried that a coin like this can maintain top spot in the cryptomarkets but we are where we are. It is sad but the fact is that most people (ie sheep) would jump and quickly acquire any government backed centralized coin. Makes me wanna puke I get so sick

That is a lot of conditions are you asking to get fulfilled and I can kind of help but not exactly. As far as I know there is no coin like that currently on the market but there are a few coins working towards attaining those features. RaiBlocks is going to be adding a layer of privacy in the coming months I have read about it on their ANN page that will be a step closer to what you wish. Also there is a fork of the RaiBlocks code and a new coin called Stone is looking to have essentially all the features you listed there.
