I think both buying from ico and trading altcoin has the same risk but I prefer with trading because if we cannot make any profit, we could still make that profit in the other time. I realize that buying from ico have a risk because the coin is just starting without any history at all and no one guarantee that the coin will be increasingly high, even the dev cannot guarantee too. if we still want to buy from ico, then we should know how much money that we want to spend so if the coin is not worth, we don't have too sad about this.

of course, he can because if a businessman have much money and he decides to build bitcoin market site then he has a big opportunity to create another profit in the future. but not all businessman want to risk his money to create something that he doesn't know and I think he will learn first about cryptocurrency especially with bitcoin so he can build bitcoin market. but I am sure that bitcoin market is attracting businessman to have a site because the profit is bigger than they can imagine.

I think it is better to still hold zcash, zencash, and zclassic right now if we are waiting the price is up and I am sure that soon the price will increase. it is only a matter of time to see the price and we need to be patient for a while and meanwhile, we can try to search another profit from the other coins because almost all coins getting an increase so don't be late to get a profit. and if I checked in the exchange, zcash giving good progress to increase and I hope it will increase in next week.

I heard this too but I think it was just rumour and I hope that this is not true. we still have another country that will support cryptocurrency and I am sure that many people still want to use cryptocurrency because cryptocurrency could give many benefits for us. so I don't think that cryptocurrency will be forbidden.

and now, the altcoin price trying to go up and reach the new level price and I hope that I can sell it at the high price. I think it's not too late to buy the coins if we want but make sure that the price is in low price so we can buy much amount.

I think it is because of bitcoin price is down too deep and it seems, it makes people be afraid to hold altcoin for a little longer. I hope they are wrong and this will push the altcoin price become high later. I see the altcoin goes down although not all altcoin goes down, the effect that I feel is people getting rush and I hope they don't panic to see this and still hold their altcoin. but I don't know the main reason for this downfall and I only can wait for a while.

always learn and practice is the best key for newbies because without doing this, they cannot get the benefits from their lesson and they cannot increase their skills in trade. many of us are confused about this and they only read and read without doing something and if this is happening for a long time, then they cannot make a profit at all. we should know that we need more info to learn trading so we can make a profit in the end.

I think it is because they see that they have the opportunity to make money from bitcoin than the other cryptocurrency but if they can see the other coins, then they will see that they have another opportunity to earn more money. besides that, they think that the cryptocurrency is the only bitcoin and they don't see that there are another coins that could help them to make money. but I think soon they will see that besides bitcoin, they can make money from the altcoin too.

this is what I do when I run out of money and fortunately, I can do it with selling my bitcoin. actually, if we can make a note about how much we need to cash out in every month, then we can know when the time we should cash out. I think it depends on you when you want to cash out your coins to money because only you that will know what you want to buy for your daily needs. if you don't need to buy something for your daily needs, then I think you can keep your coins for a long time and once the price increase higher, then it is time for you to cash out the money.

in my opinion, bitcoin is safe for our investment, but we need to realize that bitcoin has a big risk for people which is afraid to see their money changing in every time. just make sure you know what you do and calm down if you see the price is down because, in the end, the price will increase back so you can sell to take your profit. don't be afraid to wait because you are not alone for waiting the price back and it is better you don't visit the exchanges if you still afraid.

you are right LANZ777 but many of us missed the good time to buy bitcoin and push them to buy at the high price. but today, while bitcoin price is at the down price, I think we can start to buy another bitcoin or we can wait for a while until the price is down again. I think he can try to search as much of info about where bitcoin price wants to go in this week or in the next week so he can make analyze and decide in what price he wants to buy bitcoin and make sure that this time he doesn't miss the time.

although both are risky, I think my suggestion will come to trading because we can make a nice profit if we can do analyze coins before we buy and we can choose more than one coin to make a profit. although we could have lost in trading, as far as I know, our money will be recovered in the future and the price will be increased. but it is different if we cannot analyze the coins or if the coin gets delist from the exchange or the dev is run away and not continue the project, we can get a big loss because of this.

unfortunately, we have to wait for the price increase back because the price now is down although it is not too deep. ripple has a good chance to still increase for this year and like other coins, ripple will start to rise again in this week or next week. actually, my target to sell is more than 25k satoshi in the short term but for a long term, the sky is limit and I don't know how high that ripple could reach. I hope that soon, the price is up again and reach my target sell so I can make my profit too.

I think if he only depends on speculation then I am not sure because in cryptocurrency there is a small chance for us if we only use speculation to make a profit. it will need more than speculations and he needs to learn and analyze what he invest and needs time to make a profit itself. but if he can do this, I am sure that he can make a big profit like the other people. I think if he cannot do trading with well, he can buy bitcoin and then hold it for a long time and only sell the bitcoin if the price increases high.

this is happening too with my friend. I think with a big opportunity for every people which join in the cryptocurrency, it makes some of the exchanges get explode of the customer which want to join with them. although, I am sure that every exchange has added more server, but still not enough for new people which want to register.

I think this is a new opportunity for people which have big money and have good skills to create new exchanges because this will attract more people to join with them. and if you can do this, it is better that you create a new exchange with different features than the other exchanges.

yes, it depends on the investor itself. but if we still have cryptocurrency in our account and not sell to get bitcoin and we don't sell our bitcoin to have money, we still not making money at all. it is true that bitcoin is making us money while we sleep but we don't own that money if we don't sell our coins and will remain like that. so if we want to make real money, then we need to sell the altcoin to have bitcoin, and then we can exchange it for money so we have that money in our bank account.

personally, I think cryptopia is safe and legit and I was surprised to know that they have a big trader inside that site. I think it is normal if they shut down the registration because maybe they cannot handle a new customer that is bigger than they thought. but I hope that in one day, they will open new registrations for people so other people can try to trade on their site. I have good experiences too with them and now I still trade with them besides use poloniex and bittrex.

ripple is a good coin that will increase soon and I think it will reach $7 for the first step and will reach more. actually, I am amazed about what ripple do before the new year and now I think many people will wait for another high price and I am sure that they have a big amount of ripple in their wallet. although I am not sure about how much price that ripple wants to reach, but it could possible if there is many people still buy and sell ripple in every exchange. I guess we will wait and see for the next movement from ripple.

I think if bitcoin is fall, I will think that this is the correction price for bitcoin before the price increase back because every time bitcoin price is down, the altcoin increase and make a new price. I don't think that yesterday when bitcoin price is down is because ripple increase but I would consider this as the correction for bitcoin. I think in this year, bitcoin will be more famous and makes the price increases because there will be a big demand from people that want to buy bitcoin but the supply is not equal with the demand and finally the price will increase more.

I am sure that all of us have the same experience like OP said. my suggestion don't be too greedy while you see that you can make a profit until 5000% and take your profit by selling half or quarter of the total amount or you will regret it later. my experience is I am not selling my coin when I can make a profit until 1000% and I let that coin stay in the wallet without doing anything. but soon the price is back to the bottom, I regret for not sell the coin and it makes me wait for a long time before I can see the price increase again and this time, the increasing of the price is not 1000% but it is only 500%. and if I can wait for another time, maybe it will increase until more than 1000% in the future. so if you think that your profit it's enough for me, just sell your coin but not all of your coins so you still have the rest of coin.

I think he can find many another coin that is still below $1 and I am sure that there is not just xvg and if he can search in coinmarketcap, I am sure that there are many coins that he can buy. but I admitted that to select the right coin, we need to research and analyze the coin especially with the project. and if the project is good to invest then we can buy right now and keep it for a while. we can read on their website, how good the project by reading the whitepaper and else.
