Yes it could be a bigger year for ICO since alot of good projects are coming in crypto world, i hope they stay there till end of the year and grow more

There is profit in ICO tokens but again it depends on which ICO you are investing in, project should be very strong in order to get profit

New and cardano are good coins, however, you can consider replacing bitcoin into ethereum here. Also look at EOS, MONERO, IOTA

The alt coin value will increase from mid of this year as predicted, however, ethereum could be future bitcoin as almost all alt coins are using eth plateform.

Its not rising its just settling down. It will take some time for crypto currencies to get stable, most probably mid of this year alt coins will start pumping.

Income from bounty campaigns are very uncertain. You can not depend on them since not every campaign finish in 1 month, some ICO finish in 2-3 months. Plus you dont know how much you are going to get at the end of ICO. And once it hits any exchange what will be cost of coin etc. So no dont depend on bounty campaigns for living.

Only new investors can cashout money for festivals etc, its not possible for wise investor who has invested in a long term, cashing out money for shopping. Most of investors are investing in crypto for long term which means its spare money for them and not from every day use.

I only look for good project and idea behind the ICO and i guess its more important to look at its potential rather than seeing if it requires KYC or not

That's great news. I love Vechain project. I will be adding some VEN in my portfolio for long term investment. It surely is a great coin.

Few altcoins can be directly purchased via fiat like Ripple, XLM, DASH etc and they can be only purchased on CEX.IO Exchange.

Eth is good for trading that's why almost all tokens are using eth platform. But i guess other platforms like EOS, Monero can take eth place in future.

IOTA is a good coin to add up in your portfolio but not for $1000, you can mix-up different coins with this money including IOTA. I am not sure if 2018 will be a big year for IOTA but if you're planning long term investment, then its a good choice.

Yes, specially newbies should be aware of the scam. Never upload your identity unless you are sure about the ICO authenticity.

welcome to crypto world. I am using My eth wallet and i guess its pretty much fine to use for short term. For long term you can get hard wallet. As far as losing in crypto concern, so this way you will learn from your mistakes and don't do same mistakes in future when investing.

Sounds great, i never participated in ICO Pool before. Will look into it, thanks for sharing the link.

Tokens and Altcoins are almost same although i am bit inclined towards Tokens as we can buy them cheap and earn sometime from bounty.

I came to know about this ICO, TEND. It looks pretty good project, dig in it and see their whitepapers and roadmap. It looks a promising project.

I got to know about crypto from a friend in November 2017 and since then i got very interested in blockchain technology. In start i used to just read as much as i could and then decided to invest really minimum amount which i could afford to lose (if i was about to do any mistakes). I never lost my money i have put in, i never did any panic selling so its a wrong conception that women are emotional and cant survive in cryptoworld as said in one of the comments here.

1: Industry (I usually get attract to retail sector)
2: Idea (Problem and its solution in idea)
3: Website (How strong web content is)
4: Team (Their profiles on LinkedIn and little bit research on google about profiles)
5: White Paper (To know about project and technology in detail)
6: I also keep observing that how many users on Bitcointalk are in bounty campaigns)
7: Social media (I follow pages and groups on Facebook, Telegram channels and Twitter to be updated)

Can anyone please tell if Bounty of TEND still active?
