Holy shit OP, I hope your dad is okay. That being said, did you just throw your money into ETH and ETH alone as a gamble? Or did you really get your head down into studying shit? Looks like theres a lot of FUD going about

>> No.11020982

Wow good to hear your dad made it out alive. And congrats being financially stable, I respect that.

ETH was well under 10$ at the time, and ICOs didn't use it to fund their vaporware back then

Do you rent your btctalk signature space to advertise?

>>11021008
lol i can't imagine the shit you were going through, how often in a day do you spend studying on ICOs? Parents got in an accident when i was in my teens and I sucked dick for the next couple of years hopping odd jobs

I manage some crypto sites and it's helping, i just am really afraid of the market now with eth.. and i'm lost on my investments right now

>>11020931
right on, hence why i don't know why theres so much fud and scare tactics in this board.. we should be more positive!

>> No.11021051

>>11021015
nope

>>11021029
I understand why everyone is so grim desu, but it is fairly normal. Markets move in cycles, and now we are in a downward spiral of sorts

>> No.11021079

>>11020930
That's one story which makes me feel grateful for what I have.. but more than that OP you are on tough son of a bitch to bounce from that.

What do you think of ICO market now ? Which sector should I invest or should I just follow big-daddy BTC ?

>> No.11021107

OP any proof that your claims of dad kidnapped is true?

It's not true, it's copy pasta. He never made it. We'll never make it. You won't make it.

I also dabble a bit in crypto and got on eth train like early 2017 - best decision of my fucking life. You prob sold around ATH by teh sound of it hah. What are you holding / pushing for if we hit that btc bull?

>> No.11021372

Also looking at chain agnostic projects

>> No.11021374

>>11021252
eh, it is alright. aside from ETH being in a death spiral (price drops, ICOs panic sell, price drops again, they sell more) it will be okay. Sooner or later we will get a new wave of people that were not burnt in 2017 bullrun. As it should be

>> No.11021424

>>11021346
you are like these girls that say "I want a boyfriend just like you, but not you" kek. just buy BNB if you want a project like BNB

however, there is also an upcoming european exchange that is going to have a token sale of their coin soon. You may want to look into it
