I think it's fairly obvious to anyone objective a lot of the projects in the top 50, and even top 10, shouldn't belong there:

bitconnect
Iota
Neo
dogecoin

That's not even including the projects I think are just a pile of **** such as XRP, VERGE, GNT bitcoin gold etc etc.

One does not need perspective to realise that bitconnect is a ponzi scheme, neo's gifthub is empty, It is safer to store Iota on an exchange than in their own wallet and dogecoin has 0, yes none at all, gifthub work.

Everyone is making money in a bull market. A lot will even increase the number of bitcoins they own overall (or whatever base currency you're measuring your portfolio in). I think a lot of people are not aware just how manipulated a market like xrp is and they could stand to lose a lot if they fomo buy into currencies after they've pumped.

A better strategy for most people is to research and hold good coins rather than trying to trade into the next bitcoin or blockchain 2.0. I mostly agreed with your list of good projects such as OMG, ICON but seems that you've started shilling projects I personally don't think will be at all relevant in 5 years like dgb.

Anyone have any recommendations for a good exchange to trade alt coins on? I'm new to this but want to unleash my inner degen with a small sum of cash. Binance, Bittrex and Bitfinex are all closed to new sign ups.

I'm considering Poloniex as it seems to be a big, well-established exchange with a wide range of coins, but I have no idea really. I'm in the UK if that makes any difference to my options.

Your best bet is to go to coinmarketcap.com and click on coins you're interested in, then click markets and see which ones have volume. Unfortunately bittrex and binance are 2 of the best but sign-ups are closed.

Polo is decent, american based exchange. They have XRP and a lot of other popular coins.

Polo has had a lot of problems in the past, I'm not sure how they are doing right now but prob would choose kucoin over polo.

Thanks - I'll check out Kucoin.

Looking into some of the smaller coins on coinmarketcap, it looks a lot of the time they only trade on one or two exchanges. Is it normal for people who trade these coins to have accounts on a lot of different exchanges so that they have access to all of them?

Dolph Lundgren is clearly the MIT outlier, but you get an A for effort. fwiw there is a $HITcoin already and its up 300% today as well as BULL$HIT coin (both on coinexchange).

I m sorry guys litecoin price will crash soon ,

Rocket Ship engaged.

Lets compare:

https://github.com/neo-project/neo

https://github.com/qtumproject

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin

Sigh.... Ok. Whatever. Why do i even care.

Nooooo I was so close to a nice round number on litecoin. Oh well back down we go.

LTC being added to jap exchange on the 10th. Not gonna moon but should rise nicely .

how long does verification take on Gemini?

I'm not at all clued up with VC's but pay some attention.

With Ripple I watched a video with someone saying the founder will be one of the richest people in the world, Is this just fantasy? surely he cant just cash out as he would crash the market?

Also do you think its right that people who create these coins have such a huge % of them isn't this a little shady?

Being rich on paper is different than having the cash in hand. But I think technically he is. But if he tried to liquidate it the price would crash so he doesn't really have that much.

And yeah it's shady. But we'll have to wait and see how it plays out.

spankchain, 110 million market cap for some sort of porn coin I guess. There is some strange stuff when I dig through these coins.

I've been waiting since Dec 22nd, my buddy put in after and got approved in about a week so not sure what's going on with mine.

Can someone give me a example of a Coin which has crashed and burned? What is the usual things that make a coin fail?

Do you think that too many new ICOs will cause a overall crypto devaluation and cause people to stick with only the top players?

Thanks!

What are some good places for legitimate, unbiased crypto discussion? The threads on 2p2 are genuinely the best sources that I'm aware of (providing you ignore the crazies). The various crypto communities on Reddit look like they're full of misinformation/shilling/delusion. Are there any good resources out there?

Great post, what are some of the whitepapers you've read?

Nope, pretty much gotta sift thru elephant piles of **** between here, reddit and twitter. Everyone is always invested in the "best coin". I'd recommend looking up CoinMastery, Carter Thomas on youtube. He's not too boring and pretty informative about the crypto world and he puts out daily content.
