Back in 2017, BTC hit the ATH at December but all the altcoin hit ATH later in January 10 or so. Do you think, market will face an altcoin pump soon? If so, the right time to invest is now.

According to announcement of chain link, the decentralized oracle provider will launch on the Ethereum mainnet on May 30th.

And other side market cap is also $25.80 billion, which good thing.
So I think price will go up for surely.

Guy's,  what do you think about this ?

whether someone will panic again and sell their bitcoin that they just bought a few days ago when going price up and now the bitcoin seems to have started lowering the price again, I hope it won't do it, because the market can suddenly rise and fall very quickly , so we must be calm and not be too hasty in buying or selling when the market moves up and lowers prices.

Volume has been increasing since last week..is thia sign of whales entered into the market?

IEO which in full means initial exchange offering is not a new topic in the crypto eco-system. Long before Binance Launchpad, several projects have taken that path to raise funds for there project by offering the native currency of their platform to traders on exchange. I remember observing a few on mercatox some years back. It was definitely no big deal as at that. Today IEO has become a menacing rave in the crypto-space owing to the fact that majority of the ICO in time past have failed to list on reputable exchange for investors. regardless of the hype and uniqueness of a project,  securing reputable exchange with good trade volume is key to the liquidity of digital assets and sad to say it today's crypto investors don't want to wait for products. They rather sell the hype than wait for the long term yield that will accompany this project gaining real-life application.
The impact of this IEO model proposes three debilitating factors on the blockchain community.

1. Lack of widespread distribution of nodes and monopolization of the. Today's IEO model literally plays into the hands of whales. With the likes of bittrex favoring high purchase by a single user. It's not hard to see whales controlling the valuation of these upcoming projects cryptocurrency on exchange. Asides from prices, centralization of nodes can be dangerous as it can lead to treats on the network with respect to mining. A Single-user acquiring a subset of the network can be catastrophic.

2. The IEO mechanism does not truly favor long term growth of this project. Now it's important to note that the majority of these coins sold on exchange are bought not by investors but by traders who actively trade on exchange. Majority of this traders do not no a thing about this project and will dump at the slightest profit or in the face of the slightest loss. Some might say it's part of the market cycle. Weak hands selling to stronger traders but it's key to note that community is very important in crypto compared to other market and it's almost impossible to build suck around traders who do not care or look towards the success of this project.

3. This exchange is also doing too little to protect the interest of participants who take part in these IEOs. In my opinion, it shouldn't just be about raising funds and meeting Hardcaps. These exchange should take up more roles. Some examples I picked up from the Pledgecamp project concept includes. Strategic disbursements of funds raised during these IEO events based on achievements of milestones, certification and other pre-agreed terms all design to ensure this project doesn't just bail off with people's money or fail to develop products that can attract value to the native currency.

In conclusion, a lot more tinkering needs to be done in order for IEOs to continue to flourish and promote the growth of the blockchain community. If steps aren't taken to prevent these impacts, we might see the IEO trend failing just like the majority of ICOs have failed.

I'm considering to buy and hold some privacy coins for long term. I read some articles and they said governments are taking harsh stances on privacy coins. Do you think they will ban all privacy cryptocurrencies by prohibiting exchanges to list those coins?

The world of crypto and crypto coding has been making strides in recent years. In all projects and encodings, Ethereum remains the most popular investment companion to Bitcoin. It is not surprising that Ethereum has surpassed Litecoin and other coiners since it appeared in the pre-codec market in a very short time.
However, in the past ETH decline and many bad news about ETH constantly appear, the trust of some investors to ETH lost.
You think ETH Is the No. 1 choice of investors?

The cryptocurrency space has been discouraging for a while now and there's a possibility for people to want to walk away from the industry. Some persons made substantial investment in purchasing altcoin whose value has greatly reduced and the thought of everything could make one want to loose hope. I'm of the opinion that making profits should not be our only goal in the industry but learning and contributing to its growth should be our focus. There's always light at the end of the tunnel and we would get there very soon. Let's be patient for a little more while, no matter how long the night lasts, the morning will surely come. Don't give up yet.

Hi,

I was a bounty hunter just like many others here. Was hoping that i can earn my living by doing bounty hunting rather then kissing someone's azz 9 to 5. But it looks as if the cryptocurrency world is not ready for us or may be not willing to accept us anymore.
So after sticking to my beliefs that it will grow and good times will come, but the time has come that i have to look for alternates and here i am sitting in an office doing "YES Sir", "No Sir" and hoping that i can have a financial stability to avoid doing job anymore.

Seriously looking for suggestion to gain financial freedom and don't have to do a job anymore.

How long does Ico last?

So, my friend is participating in the subscription campaign in the OUTOFTHLOUD project. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4814891.0
then something has changed and now https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5085373
The rewards program began on August 1 and continues to this day. It has been 8 long months. Posts in social networks stopped at the end of 2018. For all Telegram questions, when the program ends for a fee, my friend gets one answer - after Ico. When asked when Ico will end - silence.
It’s a pity to throw a signature, it turns out 8 months of work wasted ...

Tell me, is there a limit on the duration of Ico? It can not last forever?

i am feel , this stable point keep for some time, after 2-5 years we can expect huge bull run. near future i am not expecting and i dont think bull run comes.
now no new investment coming.


my portfolio now below 50$ , i am anyway ok. i know this will be rise ...

how about your thought

Hi all!
I and many of us here earned a lot coins form bounty campaigns. And I have real dilemma: How to recognize a good time to sell a coin? How to avoid loosing everything by holding coins that will die, but also how to choose coins that are good to hold because they can give us 10x,100x.
Thank you for your comments .

He answers about cryptocurrency stating
“The main feature of crypto currencies is their anonymity. I don't think this is a good thing. The Government’s ability to find money laundering and tax evasion and terrorist funding is a good thing. Right now crypto currencies are used for buying fentanyl and other drugs so it is a rare technology that has caused deaths in a fairly direct way. I think the speculative wave around ICOs and crypto currencies is super risky for those who go long.”

He isn't wrong in his sense, if the cryptocurrency is to have a future, they should be able to create an environment of trust between themselves and the authorities.

The cryptocurrency market is presently in a correction stage, correcting its prices because of the massive bull run that happened late 2017 and the correction period is always longer than the increase period. Veteran's in the market understand this very well and are focused on buying the bottoms but the newbies are the ones complaining and nagging about the market prices.

The king of cryptocurrency is Bitcoin. But who is the king of Altcoin?

The King of Altcoin who is ETH or Litecoin? I think ETH is the reason most are used in ETH at airdrop. And the price of the ETH is much higher than all other Altcoin. The number of users of ETH coins is also much higher. Litecoin also has a number of users then I think ETH coins are King of Altcoin. It is my personal opinion. You can give your opinion. I know there is many more good Altcoin but ETH is the best. I hope everyone will give feedback.

Best regards

Ok I received my liker coins this month but unfortunately, I would have to wait for 4 months or the month of May before they let me trade their token, do you think this is ok they never mentioned that they are going to lock for 4 months during the bounty period, what's your thoughts on this?
