I am fully confident that crypto trading (as well as any other type of activity) is worth doing only when a person is ready and wants to learn this well. Only in this way can he clearly understand what to do.
Here I am in order to both buy and sell and accumulate good coins for great profit in the future. That is my strategy.
I treat trading more as a pleasant hobby. I never force myself to go and trade, I don't need it. If I want to trade, then I just do it and get pleasure from what I do. If I don't want to trade, then I just don't do it. In general, I believe that if you force yourself to trade, then such trades in most cases will not be successful.

Yes, trading is stressful for many, including for me. Any sensible person who is keen for something will be worried about the result. This is normal.
I found a way out of this situation for myself. I clearly plan the whole deal before I start trading. I determine the point of purchase of a particular coin, then I consider two scenarios of how events will go.
The first scenario is if everything goes well and the price of the coin grows. Here I define the point of sale. The second scenario is if something went wrong and the price starts to fall. I determine the point of sale with a negative turn of events.
Next, I just clearly follow the plan. Yes, in the process I'm worried, because I really want the price to rise. But a clear adherence to the plan greatly reduces the level of stress.
Try it and the result will surprise you.

I think that high IQ is important for a successful trader. After all, its main advantage, in my opinion, is the mind. Thanks to the mind, a trader will be able to study well all the necessary information, learn the right lessons from his practice and learn how to successfully apply his knowledge and experience in trading.
But if a person has a lower level of IQ, then this is not a problem. The main thing is that a person wants to become a trader. IQ level can be raised by training, this is not a big problem. But I think that studying and understanding the current amount of information that is needed for trading is in itself an excellent training for the brain.
So develop your brain! Good luck to all!

Everyone chooses a  exchange that suits him personally based on his goals and desires. As a beginner, I would recommend paying attention to Binance, Poloniex and Bitfinex. These exchanges have a fairly user-friendly interface, a lot of trading pairs and a large number of users.
As for the advices: I advise you to diligently study the theory and master the practical part well. Never stop learning new information and gradually you will become a great trader.

Of course, the best step is to educate yourself and develop in this direction. But since the question is different, I would recommend first of all to buy coins from the top 10, and even better, the first 3 positions of the top. Then you can leave them for long-term trade and trade daily.
While your main goal, as I understand it, is buying coins. So buy the best coins. Next, let them just be in your account. And you, after obtaining the necessary knowledge, start practicing trading in small amounts. It will be just a small part of your deposit, for example,  $ 10.

I agree with you. Patience is important when it is dictated by our mind to achieve the goal. But when the word "patience" is used to cover up their blind and thoughtless faith in the coin, or to justify their fear, then it is wrong.

Long-term trading is really what you need to do. Especially, if we take into account that there are coins that in a year or more can bring huge profits.
Of course, daily and medium-term trading gives us money for everyday waste, but successful long-term trading will take you to a completely different financial level.

Yes it's true. You just need to change your view of the situation. Many traders perceive the bear market negatively, I think therefore their deals will initially be the loser.
If at any time to consider the situation as an opportunity to earn, then you will see exactly how to do it.

I believe that the best coins for the holding (if you start from this point on) for the long period will be: Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB and XRP.
Of course, to a greater extent, I would give my preference to investing in Bitcoin.

Of course, a large number of exchanges can adversely affect.
Many newbies don’t know where to start.
A large number of exchanges still don't have a license to conduct trade. The activity of such crypt exchanges is not regulated by anyone, as a result of which users of trading platforms risk losing their money.
I think that security on these exchanges is very low.

No, not everyone loses money when the market falls. Many successfully earn on this. Especially those who provoke this fall .
But even ordinary traders can earn. The main thing is to build your strategy in such a way as to be ready for any market situation.
Personally, I always have a part of my investment in USDT, so when the price drops, I buy, and when the price rises, I sell accordingly. In calculating the future price, I use technical analysis and my awareness of the latest news. Therefore, I, like many other traders, earn even in a falling market.

Independent rating agency Weiss Ratings stated in its official twitter account that Ripple (XRP) is the most promising cryptocurrency of this year. And the company Ripple itself is the most promising project of the year in the blockchain industry.
They believe that XRP is by far the fastest way to make international transfers in the world. For many companies, such as the Binance Exchange, their technology would be an excellent opportunity to perform customer transactions without intermediaries. Now customers have to spend time and money on operations through traditional intermediary banks to replenish the account.
Ripple plans to combine all of three products (xVia, xCurrent, xRapid) in one solution, which will be offered to financial institutions as a complete package for the implementation of XRP tokens into its infrastructure.
Ripple Q3 2018 Markets Report shows 122% sales growth.
Also it is likely that XRP will be officially recognized as a service token, although US regulators have not yet made official statements.

I think this is a good idea. This will filter out part of the fraudulent projects presented on this forum (and not only).
Regarding the process of the KYC in general, I don’t mind, the main thing is that the obtained personal information about investors and clients is well guarded and there are no leaks. And the organization that takes responsibility for collecting and storing data should also be fully responsible for data leakage.
Unfortunately, no one wants to be responsible, and there are no corresponding regulators.

People often talk about what they don’t understand.
Any bounty hunter knows that he received tokens not for free. He knows that he worked for this.
And the one who thinks that bounty hunters having only 1-2% of tokens from all issued ones can crash a coin course (even if you imagine that every single participant did it at the same time) is seriously mistaken. The course is rolled by those who bought coins on Privat-sale and Pre-sale. Just they have a sufficient number of tokens purchased at very low prices and the opportunity to sell them immediately after the start of trading.

I agree. But don't forget that Bitcoin is not in the best condition now. And we all know perfectly well that it has a direct effect on altcoins.
Many investors were scared, so money was massively withdrawn primarily from altcoins. But what to say if many traders who have been on the crypto market for more than a 1 year have been selling their bitcoins... The year 2018 was very hard, many could not stand it and sold all their coins with heavy losses, so it’s absolutely natural that many altcoins now look dead (or almost become like dead).

I think that for an advanced trader, the use of centralized and decentralized exchanges is a necessity. While centralized exchanges provide only a limited number of trading pairs (in particular, those currencies that have already gained popularity and have been on the market for a relatively long time), decentralized exchanges provide access to new tokens that are not being traded anywhere. And this is a great opportunity to earn. And if you need to endure some inconvenience and spend a little time in order to figure it out, then I am sure that it is worth it.

Not sure that this point even exists in today's reality. Some altcoins are more useful than bitcoin, they solve real problems. But as you already wrote Bitcoin yourself, it is the first and most proven cryptocurrency.

I think that investors can trust the ether. Nothing unusual happens. Now the whole market is in a similar condition.

This is good news. The concentration of positive news will indeed have a positive impact on the market. Although advertising will be allowed to comply with certain conditions, it is still generally a positive signal for investors.
