I really like'em both , but I think I would prefer to proportionally share my investment ( like 40℅ LTC and 60℅ for Eth ) because they are both awesome & promising alts .
Let me quote this

Often it's hard to predict where prices go especially within these days where incurred losses are permanently reached & red colour is appearing in the forefront.
Hope this happens , but I doubt it , if you remember the new year ( 2018 ) passed safely , ie there was not such drop situation .
Or there is a difference between the two years beginnings ?

Absolutely quality is the essential datum that should be attentively fixed because it's the major issue that controls any project success .
Even if it takes more time , but the results will be much better than the other option ( you cited ) because a low quality project will never last & it will be progressively abandoned ( PS :  it may get some viral interests at the beginning but as I said it can't last )

It seems like a good fork coin that has been listed in some exchanges ( the thing that minimises scam risks ) . BTW will be a successful project which all its enabled features that will add a lot to the crypto field .
I hope its future will be white as its name is

It's a normal situation that all cryptocurrencies go down simultaneously, because they behave like one entity ( which encompasses the majority of these coins ) , this crypto entity is closely depending on bitcoin fluctuation ( directly proportional to its price ) & as you know BTC is suffering  from several congestions : FUD, whales...etc that affect it negatively .

Without any doubt I would prefer waves  , why ?
1) waves is a very strong platform that suits blockchain technology very well.
2) Waves will be preferred to custom tokens, which means the ability to launch any desired cryptocurrency.
3) waves helps in decentralising both crowdfunding & trading, it's considered also as the favourite platform to launch ICOs projects.

They think if they sell now ( even at low prices ) they would avoid bigger losses , the dominant idea says : avoiding losses is preferred than gaining profits , but in fact this panic sell leads them to miss great opportunities that can be catches with some patience & faith

In my opinion Ripple is not a good choice to invest in because of :
1)70℅ of the coin market cap is owned by a company which increases the risk of massive price falling suddenly.
2) Knowing that this company is controlling the majority of the coins , means that this alt is not strictly decentralised.
What concerns price prediction, I've found this speculation that I quote here

10℅ daily ==>300℅ monthly==>3600℅ yearly
It's 3600% scam because no one ( no company, no project ) can give such return & such business can't last even for a week , simply anything seems to be unrealistic, then it's a clear scam

It seems to me that it's a purely scam business,  with that huge amount they are just selling mirage to subscribers ( who in reality do not gain a penny )but they only lose subscription fees for nothing
Are the unique & exclusive gainers = owners & founder of these groups

Absolutely NO , I don't know why people get all that fears & worries while it's very normal phenomenon that alt go down . I think red and green are inseparable market directions , there is no abnormality within this, I guess

It doesn't matter how much I've lost , the real loss is when you loose patience, faith,& optimism because any financial loss is widely recoverable by just taking the appropriate behaviour in such situations.
And remember this : It's not the end , it's just a battle, not the end of the war

I'll give you an advice ( in fact it's my friend recommendation ) :
Buying IOTA, ADA, & ICX 100 usd each one on weekly basis using DCA strategy , the process lasts for around 1 year .
I think these coins are really promising and can give huge return especially ICX;  knowing that it's a Korean coin which gives it more potential .

I think all traders should know the rule saying : do not panic sell because it's one of the big factors of considerable losses.I hold what I own & I buy more since it's a good price entry .

1) It may be an usual correction
2) It may be due to the decreased BTC price , because alts price are depending on BTC's one.
3) News about Bitfinex & Tether subpoenaing may also have an impact on alts prices.

Yes it could , and even lower provided that  people & companies abandon its use so the demand decreases and as result, BTC goes down , but it seems to me that it's slightly illogical because as you know the world is getting automated more & more , finance too ought to go along with this automatisation whose BTC can assure.

Can't find a suitable comparison between the two options but I'd say mining is the process through which a coin is being produced and for which there are two big types : hardware & cloud mining . While investment is putting your money into a chosen coin and wait till it reaches higher levels .
So I can say mining is considered as an investment because the two options aim to gain profit .
The two are , but I'd prefer hardware mining.

I used to use yobit ( for a long time ) but thinking to move to another one ( cause had some accidents with yobit recently which make it less demanded ). I guess I will use Binance or Kraken, they have good reputation as far as I know

1)Unknown & useless coin ( that's clear when no one talks about )
2) Sudden price jump ( without being preceded by significant news predicting that jump)
3) Poor historical volume trading which is easy to detect through statistics .
Mostly every sh** coin meets one (or more ) cited character

What !!! am I reading "Eth back to 1 $ !!!" No it is very far from being logic . Eth is 1000 $ now, how can it drop massively to 1 buck ?
Even if it tends to pull back ( supposing ) it won't anyway arrive at 1 $ & all analysis speculations say it has a potential to grow x5 this year .
Just wait & watch its growth
