I woudn't say alts dying but in 2017, the altcoins grew too fast and strong, so I guess with all the updates (SEGWIT, LN) in 2018 should grow bitcoin.

Perfect minimum, each defines for himself. This should be the amount in Fiat, which you can afford to lose and not be very sad about it, but also be very happy if you manage to double it)

I wouldn't consider any exchange for for the long terms investing. But if you insist look at the biggest one maybe Binance or Bittrex...depends which crypto assets you have.

Like any long-term investor I have no profit or loss every day, I just keep my assets in different coins for many years. Profit or loss can be considered when I decide to fixate in a bitcoin or fiat money.

Despite the unambiguous positive trend of crypto assets growth, they remain one of the most volatile and risky investments. But the more the growth trend is strengthened the more greed wins over caution

Despite the approaching WEB 3.0 and that there are a lot of services already running on the blockchain it's just unambiguously that without bitcoin the will be no any other coins

Successful traders act more like business people than gamblers. They manage risk, manage inventory, follow trends, just like anyone else in any business for profit.

If you are a traditional equities of DIY investor, you’ll have to open up a digital wallet and deposit your money with an unregulated broker who will facilitate you BTC to USD trades.

I have never bought bitcoins face to face. Fortunately now a lot of tools to avoid face to face exchange meetings and unreasonable risk

There are lots of good coins but keep in mind that we are dealing with a quite new field and as other investments there is a risk involved. Speculation is part of the game, but you have to manage your risk reasonably. Try to read about Verge. it was initially released around four years ago under the name Dogs-Coin-Dark.

Crypto might be substantially volatile, and watching a crypto price movement chart will probably reveal a selection of highs and lows that form a linear pattern.

Foolish - It wasn't the best choice of words, if for no other reason than that it makes anyone who would benefit from your advice less inclined to listen to you.

I, myself have fallen victim to my emotions as well and have seen many people lose money because of panic selling. There is no any common advice that will help to anyone, only the experience((

Yes there are lots of other cryptocurrencies that the developers are trying hard to solve the different problems but Bitcoin not same as 3 years ago.. Remember. Now we have a SEGWIT and LN features. And I doubt that there are more strong developer teams in other cryptocurrencies.

Definitely with Asic's its moving very much to be centralized system and it’s not going to get better. Bitcoin is being adopted rapidly and if you are betting on Bitcoin to reach mainstream adoption as fast as possible, you are also betting on the cost of technology to drop even faster.

If he wont go to jail, he might become a billionaire reality TV star like Donald Trump or Mark Cuban. Millions of people who have no idea about technicalities will be charmed by the charisma of Roger Ver

I will never agree that bitcoin is too difficult for ordinary folks after my friend full LAMER easily figured out how to buy bitcoin to transfer it to hackers who hacked him.

Any wallet that storing your private key and ensuring you can sign your Bitcoin transaction even when you are offline, so that someone can’t hack your wallet is good enough.

With only a maximum circulation of 21 million coins and seven billion people in the world, there’s a reason to call bitcoin digital GOLD. But ETH supply in unlimited.

I have a funny story about my friend was involved in crypto. A few years ago, he was hacked and hackers asked to transfer bitcoins to them. He bought 5 10 btc for the hacker, but hacker dissapear. My friend still has 5btc)
