One of the coins which may give you 100x returns in the future is Deep Onion. I know that a lot of people are critical about this coin, but I have visited their community forum, and I found it very active. They have some very good, well-defined plans to popularize this coin.

I have never held on to any of my tokens for 6-12 months. I am holding on to the Algory token for the last two months, and it has risen by almost 100% from the listing price. I don't have any other tokens which I am holding for long-term.

Ethereum already looks over-priced and its fair valuation is around BTC0.05 per coin. On top of that, it is facing a lot of competition from the alts such as NEO and Cardano. BCH is a good coin, but if BTC resolves the scaling issues associated with it, then that coin will become obsolete. And the less we talk about XRP, that much better. It is not even a crypto-currency.

Just when I thought that Bitcoin was on its way to a major recovery, another crash happens. This time South Korea is the nation which caused it. Yesterday the authorities raided the offices of Upbit, and the exchange rates immediately crashed by more than 10%. The Bloomberg Galaxy Crypto Index was also down by around 14%.

Nope.. the amount is likely to be lower. More than two months back, Nobuaki Kobayashi made a statement claiming that he has sold around 40,000 coins out of the total of 200,000. During the past two months, he may have sold many tens of thousands of coins as well. So the remaining amount is likely to be lower than 160,000. I would guess it will be closer to 100,000.

Coinmarketcap is not a comprehensive directory or reference encyclopedia for the crypto-coins. Out of the more than 10,000 different coins and tokens, only around 1,500 are listed there. If a coin is not listed in Coinmarketcap, it doesn't necessarily mean that it has no future potential. You can go ahead with your investment, but only after a careful study of the coin.

I have been investing in crypto for more than 5 years. From what I have learnt from all these years, I can say that crypto is not a magic wand that can make you a millionaire over-night. Be patient and work hard. If you are lucky, crypto will give you decent returns in a few years time.

If I were in your place, this is what I would do: I would realize that trading is not the thing for me and invest my money in something else. Trading in cryptos is not very simple like trading in equities. The volatility and the risk associated is very high. It is not everyone's cup of tea. And please don't chase after your losses. It will bring you only financial ruin.

Waves is going down now. During the second half of 2017, there was so much buzz associated with Waves that I even thought that Waves had a good chance of replacing Ethereum. But now the number of tokens being created on this platform has declined, along with the trading volumes.

The Mt Gox sell-off is what keeps the market depressed as of now. No one knows exactly how many of the coins have been sold and how many are remaining. But it seems that the prices will stay below the $10K level for the remaining part of this year.

OK... So Sunrisers Hyderabad have qualified for the playoffs and we still don't know which are the other three teams who may qualify. Looking at the points table and the remaining fixtures, this is my wild guess: Chennai Super Kings, Kings XI Punjab and Mumbai Indians.

Ireland can be deadly in the home conditions. My advice to Pakistan is never to take them lightly. It is a mistake that West Indies did, when they visited Ireland for a one-off match in 1969. And this is what happened:

Bowled out for just 25 runs!!!

I have seen a lot of people giving this argument. But the problem is that we never know when the market bottoms out. I am glad that it worked out for you in the end, but what you could have done, if the prices had fallen after your purchase?

Even if electricity is absolutely free, I doubt whether Bitcoin mining can ever become profitable for the small-scale miners. You may be having better luck mining some of the altcoins, such as Bitcoin Gold or Litecoin. Bitcoin mining has been monopolized by the mega-mining farms.

I think that 90% of them are solely doing it in order to get profits. ICOs were a big success during 2017, and a lot of developers became millionaires as a result of it. And this has encouraged all sort of people to come up with their own coins and tokens.

Either it is going to happen in 2018, or it will never happen. Time is running out for Ethereum. Competitors such as NEO and Cardano are slowly poaching in to the Ethereum user-base, just like how ETH poached in to the BTC user-base during 2015-16.

Looking at the past history, I'd say that it is definitely possible. After Bitcoin hit a peak price of $1,231 per coin in December 2013, the rates went down for more than two years. They started recovering only during the first half of 2016. So a repeat of that is possible.

Looking at the charts now, I think that the Bitcoin prices have stabilized. So we can expect the rates to go up, once the dumping by the Mt Gox trustee is over. If you want to invest in Bitcoin, make your moves now and get the coins under $10K.

You don't need to worry about these temporary market fluctuations. It looks like the market has stabilized at $8,500 - $9,500 per coin range (for Bitcoin). My guess is that it will stay at these levels for some time, before moving upwards by the second half of 2018. So if you want to invest in Ethereum, this is the right opportunity to get some coins.

There are merits and demerits associated with diversification of cryptos. The advantage is that it reduces your exposure to a certain coin, if it dies out. The disadvantage is that it increases your risk of investing in some scam coin and losing a part of your capital.
