This is not how bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies should work. This is naturally an unstable market and pumps and dumps are not just some peculiar phenomena happening, these are natural occurences in digital world. The decrease in bitcoin price are meant for investors' time to buy and the increase is meant for selling. We don't wait for the rise to recover losses. That is not the primary goal, but to gain and multiply money.

Recently, a seminar was conducted in our university about introduction to bitcoin. Several students in that seminar, including me, were interested since a lot have already entered the world of crypto. It is a good opportunity for students to be aware of this as early as now for them not to just stick with their vowed professions. This will open new doors for opportunities and will make them globally competitive.

You can use a hardware wallet if you want complete security but I myself just use a mobile-based wallet. It is called "coins.ph" and it is a popular online wallet in my country. I can store bitcoins there without worrying about my security as long as I don't let anyone touch my phone or get access to my pin. It is also accesible in web but I prefer mobile app to avoid getting phished. One good feature of this wallet is that it allows users to pay bills and get rebates from doing so.

It will be of great advantage to students in programs related to business and enterpreneurship. This will impose competitiveness in the country especially now that the world is advancing and many countries are already adopting to digital currency and blockchains. This may build potential and skills to interested students which in turn may help the country's economy.

This is unlikely in this growing population of cryptocurrency supporters. These type of issues and assumptions are just brought about by fears, uncertainties and doubts on crypto currencies. Keep in mind that this is not a steady market. There will be time for dumps and pumps. People who don't know much are more likely to be fooled by this happenings. Do not. Stay calm and wait for the market to calibrate.

Nope. Only those included in signature campaigns will be able to earn money. If you post for nothing, no one will give you credit or any reward because you are not carrying any company's name. You need to apply for a signature campaign first.

In my case, I am still not trading my coins. The coins I am holding are extremely low right now and is far from their ICO prices. The market is currently recalibrating and this is normal for the first few months of the year. The market is anticipated to be normal during mid year like March, April or May. I will be patient and I will wait for the peak prices.

It is actually a good opportunity to invest in crypto during bear market. It is when coins are lowest and when the bull market hits, profit can be acquired. The golden rule in investing is buy low and sell high.

I can relate because I am also a student. It is hard to study and work here simultaneously because this is time-consuming and there are deadlines to be met, same with school works. Time management is extremely important here.

Keeping your funds and coins in an exchange wallet too long is not advised. This is okay if you are a day or week trader because money recirculates in your wallet but if you are going to hold your coins for a long time in an exchange wallet, I suggest that you use hardware wallet.

It is still recalibrating. This is normal for the beginning of the year. After the huge increase on the latter months of the year, it will dump so hard on the beginning of the following year. Everything will be back to normal by midyear. Just keep your patience with you because this is how the crypto market goes. It is not always ATH. Fluctuations are perfectly normal. 

Been encountering the same old questions. Better if you just scroll through the pages, there are several posts about this same topic but to answer your question here are some key points to consider:

1. Team/Developer
2. Working  Product
3. Roadmap
4. White paper
5. Expert's critics and reviews (There are sites for this.)
 

It is possible to people with funds. In the hierarchy of traders and investors, the richest are on the top and have great potential to manipulate the crypto market. They have the power to create changes in the market because they financially confident. The people on the low part of the hierarchy jus go with the flow and they are the reactors to changes brought about by these top-most people.

It won't die. The modernization may force it to adopt to the new world, adjust a bit and apply a fee changes and improvement, but the concept where it all started will remain. ICOs are good investments and their numbers are increasing, as well as people investing in it. As long as there are patronizers, it won't be extinct.

Been seeing the same question over and over again. Check the whitepaper, their working product, the team behind it, their roadmap and reviews of critics. Research about that company. That's pretty much all of it in plain terms.

Which kind of ether wallet do you use? There are varieties of them. If you mean MEW, yes, you can be hacked if you enter a phishing site. Misspelled urls are usually phishing sites so make sure that you double check before entering the url. Aside from this, you can be hacked if someone have access to your private keys. That is pretty much all.

That was sad to hear. I have read that most of the cloud mining are scams which is why extreme cautious is a must. Scammers are good hackers and manipulators, even if you gave your private key without fund, they can still find ways of stealing your money because on the first place, you gave them something you should not. Next time do not trust cloud mining immediately. Hope this serves as a lesson to everyone reading this.

Prices usually recover from a crash. You just need to wait for its price to increase again. Unfortunately, some shitcoins dies. You can no longer recover your money from dead shitcoins.

I usually choose ICOs handled by trusted managers. This is by far the fastest and most convenient way. Next thing I do is check ratings and critic reviews in websites and social media. I am not fond of reading the whitepaper because it is time-consuming, but if you are industrious enough, you can. I usually choose ICOs that are related to trading sites and/or real estates.

Not all cryptocurrencies are scam. Some just turns out to be not that successful. Not all coins are for long term, some dies sooner than expected. But yed there are some that are intentionally created by scammers to trick people. This is why it is very important to know which coin to invest to avoid being fooled.
