It is high time we should stop comparing BTC to ETH, both have entirely different use cases.
You can read about ETH here - https://coinswitch.co/info/cardano/what-is-eth

You can read here to know why and why not you should invest in Cardano - https://coinswitch.co/info/cardano/what-is-cardano

I have stopped doing speculations, I mean no one knows what is going to happen in 2019. If I knew I would all my assets into BTC. I know for sure that if the crypto eco system starts to support more and more tech based dev communities, then the overall faith and trust will increase on crypto which is really important.

Mining Bitcoin is an expensive affair, you have to have a setup for mining any cryptocurrency, if you want to earn free Bitcoins what you can do is join cryptocurrency affiliate networks.
Join exchanges referral programs, there are many exchanges which are offering Referral bonus to REFERRE -

• Binance - https://www.binance.com/invite.html
• Coinswitch - https://coinswitch.co/referral

Bitcoin is not ban in India, what is banned is running an exchange, basically govt. started banning the banks(Exchanges bank accounts) on which customers were depositing money to buy crypto using INR, you can still buy BTC fro localbitcoin (I would not advice this platform)
or you can buy from Peer to Peer that is if someone has BTC, you can pay them and they can sell your BTC to you.

You can buy Bitcoin from coinswitch.co exchange also using your credit card in India.

Bitcoin is going through massive pain areas as compared to the other cryptos, as it has been affected the most in this bearish time frame. We have given here the technical analysis for the long-term scenario and short-term scenario, with all of its possibilities. The price is volatile enough to move in any direction- up, down or sideways.

I am not allowed to post photos since I am a newbie, you can read this interesting article on it -
https://coinswitch.co/news/bitcoin-technical-analysis-december-2018

Bitcoin runs on a blockchain, blockchain is a software, blockchain runs on multiple nodes all across the globe, therefore first no one can bring it down, second it can not be tracked from where did the money came and where did it go.
For any of the myths that you have you should read good books about cryptocurrencies, follow fellows who are bitcoin evanglist like Jameson Loop - https://lopp.net/bitcoin.html

He got a curated list of all good articles for beginners, including tutorials.

Now I will tell you about exchanges -
There are two type of exchanges, centralised and decentralised, it is almost impossible to use a decentralised exchange. Hence people use a centralised exchange.

Decentralised Exchanges - IDEX, Etherdelta, KyberNetwork etc.
Centralised Exchanges - Binance, Bittrex, HitBtc etc.

Then there are custodial and non custodial exchanges, custodial are those who store your currencies with them, try to avoid custodial exchanges considering they do not provide you your private key(kind of bank account password) and there has been many cases of custodial accounts being hacked in past.

Prefer to use wallets like Trezor/Nano or meta mask for storing ERC20 tokens, keep your private keys safe with you.
Use Non Custodial Exchanges like -
CoinSwitch exchange (highly rated for me), they have 400+ coins with them, and they do not store your currencies with them.
Changelly, Shapeshift are few other examples of non custodial exchanges.

I am not scared of buying Bitcoins, what I am scared of is where is the industry heading towards, where are we leading to, which direction, and why?
Centralisation vs Decentralisation is not the debate, centralisation exist with bitcoin also, exchanges are eventually becoming like banks.

And people in the middle like exchanges/advisors are making shit load of money. Where do the being fair to everyone claim went? Evaporated?

Delta Chain is now listed on Coinswitch.co exchange - https://coinswitch.co/coins/deltachain

You can buy using CoinSwitch exchange - https://coinswitch.co/app/exchange?from=usd&to=btc

They aggregate multiple exchanges so you will also get to know which exchange is giving best rates for buying and also for trading. I won't comment if they are the best or not, I mean when you buy from them you would know it yourself if they are good or not.

Meanwhile you can buy 202 coins directly using your credit card using CoinSwitch Exchange.
 

They are not against anything which can bring them money, it is just that ICOs were running fake advertisments, and then they were doing harm to the community, for facebook users and community matters a lot, and there advertisment is there primary source of revenue.

Recently google and other social media started started accepting cryptocurrency advertisments for regualated exchanges.

I lost my mental peace by trading, specially crypto market never shuts down, I tried trading using BOTS, I wrote my own code using Binance API, but nothing seemed to work.

I decided to stop trading in the month of July and I am very happy with that decision. Now I am just holding my cryptocurrency, and will sell as an when I gain some profit.

Check out https://coinswitch.co/airdrop

I still believe that participating in Airdrops is one of the easy way to earn free tokens. Most of these tokens are on ERC20, and 10% of them easily gets listed on exchanges.
Therefore do not stop and keep participating in Airdrops.

1.Cryptocurrency is useful, to secure the exchange of any information between 2 parties, or n no. of parties, when there is an exchange of an agreement, contract, money, or exchange of any goods, it eliminates the dependency on any 3rd party.
2.It covers those geographical areas of the world where the governments have not been able to reach, basically it gives an individual access to the outside world, akin to Internet.
3.Cryptocurrencies are global whereas, fiat is localised.

Here is the list of Crypto Influencers on twitter - https://hive.one/

Also you have to not ask something from the influencers, you always to tell people about the value you are creating in the ecosystem, just keep updating them about your business.

Influencers always need some motivation to do something, either they are very rational and won't favour anyone - just talk about good projects, or influencers are the one who always favour one or the other project, for example - https://twitter.com/Hodor this fellow supports XRP, so you can reach out to him for promoting anything related to XRP, he will promote if he wants to.

Until you are not able to convince any of the influencers then, please keep promoting your own brand on various social media platforms, for crypto I would bet 100% on reddit, it is an amazing place to talk about your project.

Great question, growth hacking, product marketing is not an easy to track market.

I will list few good techniques which has worked for me in past -

1.If you have a  SAAS product (Airdrops in case of cryptocurrency) then your market is universal, you should post about it on reddit and launch it on product hunt.
2.Write down your journey in the form of a blog and publish it.
3.Share meaningful content on blogs.
4.list your platform on earn.com or on coinswitch.co/airdrop, which will make it visible to a good no. of audience.
5.Make big influencers talk about your platform, reach out to them for not convincing them immediately, but updating them about your growth, may be drop them an email once in a week.
6.Be active on twitter, telegram, and specially on reddit.

Create good quality content, understand your user, and then only pick any 3 platforms to target the right audience.

The size of bitcoin's private key space (2^256) is an unfathomably large no. It is approximately 10^77 in decimal. For comparison, the visible universe is estimated to contain 10^80 atoms.

Whole crypto community would gradually start moving towards DEX, because decentralisation is the essence of cryptocurrencies.

The least we all can do today is use non-custodial exchanges. Have the custody of your coins with yourself. Use a wallet which lets you generate a private key and keeps your fund safe.
