I do not say this is the worst year but this is a bad year for crypto currency its because huge dump of value happens in crypto market that no one expecting this. Still i do not lose my hope that it will recover before this year was end or early 2019.

Long term investment is not forever there is always a time frame to sell it, for me 15% profit for short term investment at the current situation of the market is already enough for me to sell my coin but if it is for long term i will keep on holding it looking for more than 15% profit.

Agree that many ICO are now scam, people creates a new fake project with fake mangement to get what they want but still there are greedy investors are entertain them that is why scam ico continue to grow. That is why to all new investors you needs to know first if the project is real and search deeply about the people behind of one project to avoid investing in scam ico.

Agree that before buying a coin we should need to learn and know about the project if it will have big impact in the community and the people at the backnor the management are always finding a way to make their coin more popular. Dont be too greedy buying a coin with small value because they are the coin has a big possibility to loose its volume.

Before all of this method is what i do but when the mining getting rough i decided to quit and focus on those 3 methods left, i am happy and satisfied with the result of my income by then one time almost all my profit was lose in gambling im so down in that time and eagerly getting back all my loses i continue to gamble luckily i get and have more profit in gambling but for now i set the limit amount for gambling.

You said we i think you have a team like us, i have a team in trading this is already our job which we put more than 8hours of our time searching and learning which coin will be good to trade or to hold.
I agree to OP that we should know the process of trading if you are very greedy without knowing how risky investing in crypto and do trafing i think the capital you have will be lost very quick.

For me focus on trading if you have opportunity to get an income with the current situation of yhe market just do it because some users are very scared to take a risk in trading right now but me still continue finding a good coin and earn profit even small amount i am satisfied with that. Also now i am using the trading site on my signature which helps me to increase my revenue due to their new feature which is nxy mining.

Just check the altcoin in my signature they already have an exchange with high volume of users using this exchange site also they have mining of nxy which everytime you do trading on the site it will increase your mining revenue.
Also i just want to say that we need to be more careful choosing coins we buy because there are many coin are now starting loosing its volume and turning to be scam or dead coin.

Those people says that this is the end of ethereum they are luck or knowledge about a coin, they only see the big dump and says this is already the end. We do not need to be affected whit false news, we should continue holding our ethereum and i am sure we will be benefited by this

For me its not bad to follow the prediction of other but make sure you follow the most productive prediction of one trader, choose the trader who always gaining profit even at bear time like we are now. Also much better if you are the one who search for the coins which is potentially will increase its value.

I do not think the value of coin will be at 0.00 even the coin was already considered as dead coin, we cannot used the value of coin as basis to be consider as dead coin i think we used the volume of demand in the market, we can see and know if the coins are dead if there are no demand and we need to avoid buying that.

Even me i think there is a possibility to grow our 20$ in crypto in the duration of 10 years but i do not think if 100k dollar will achieved but it will grow, and me i will take a risk for 20$ to hold that for long period of time because 20$ is not that huge money to risk and the possibility to grow is there than their is no investment.

The chances of loosing our investment has a possibility but you can lessen the risk if you invest on the correct investment company or in good project you do not need to rely always on the whale because you will be scared if whale do some thing to pump and dump the value of bitcoin. Just analyse and be careful on choosing investment method.

China wont do that its because if btc died also their own coin will be dead too because no people will be interested in crypto currency anymore, bitcoin is the first coin that they interested thats why many people invested in crypto also this is the basis of the value of altcoin and we can called mother coin.

You need to divide that into multiple investment you do not need to do all in in 1 or 2 coins, i agree that you need to have bitcoin and eth but much better to buy 5 or more altcoin that you know have potential to give you a profit to achieved your target income.

Just keep your private key and password in safe place will your wallet at in safe place but for me you need to have 1 other person to know that what ever happens your fund will be recover because there are some instances that the only owners knows the key then he died no one can get his investment in terms of crypto currency.

That is good if he sell his bitcoin when the value is high and get huge profit but if he sell all his bitcoin and didnt get a profit i think it is not good idea to pull out his investment much better to wait until the recovery of value.

I want a secured coin because i do not want to risk right now and i choose ethereum and xrp then hold it for long period of time or i will sell it when i see a profit.
We should need to take more care in our money and we put it on the right investment specially right now its hard to know which coin will pump and will give more benefits.

There are many people already knows but some government official are still not believe of what bitcoin can do to improve the economy of one country. Yearly bitcoin value change then people who already adopted bitcoin are continuous supported it but the others who do not yet engage they are the one who always deciminate the bad news.

I am happy to read that more people giving positive feedback about the future of bitcoin even it has no guaranteed to happen. Even me i feel that bitcoin and whole crypto will continue to gives us benefits which may helps to boost the lifestyle of everybody. I know that many investors are now pulling out their investment due to happening right now but i am hoping that they will come back to help to increase the demand and it will be reflected to the value of it.
