Well it is hard to do so because our natural behaviour is to find bounties or projects and join them to earn some profit and sometimes we can't control ourselves once we see one but the best thing that wr can do is to do some research about what you're joining so that you can not be ignorant about it when you join and also it can help you figure out if that project ot bounty will survive for some time, indeed it is risky and we can't directly fight those things but some research and self-control can help us avoid and locate those kind of things.

Well you should really not plan on long term holding a new coin because it is way too risky specially when you really have zero knowledge about that coin but if you do follow that coin and its team before and after its release then you should have enough thoughts whether you will hold or not. Holding is fine its just you need to do those points that the OP gave us and when holding you should have lots of back up plan reserve incase something happens like when the coin doesnt seem to show some hope in increasing.

Indeed and i think their main focus or target is those individuals who didn't have so much knowledge about them because it is a bit easy to trap those people and make them believe that they are on a success project but nowadays even long time people here in crypto gets scammed because scammers always finds unique ways to scam people from newbies to long time crypto enthuasist so not only skills is rrquired but also self control and being able to analyze projects.

Yes we should be really having more focus on bitcoin because i think 2020 is the year where things will get interesting for bitcoin specially the halving that can pumped up its price but we should also give a portion of our time and money to some really good altcoins in the market because tha can also give you profit like litecoin, eth, eos, xrp those coins are really promising.

Yes indeed a new and different vision of their projects will surely attract investors because nowadays most of the projects are just the same and we keep on seeing same projects so if a team that wants to develop a new altcoin they need to be on a different track, different vision but the same goal which is to innovate and with that thing i am quite sure that we will be able to spread about cryptocurrency and people will help in spreading it.

I think in the future most of the countries will take advantage of the capabilities of cryptocurrency and blockchain and i think that government will surely not create their own crypto because it is something they can't control, what will happen is countries will be paper less and they will digitalized their currencies and that's all. i think countries will not make their own cryptos for like what the reply said people will not accept a high volatile currency. In my understanding crypto is a decentralized system while digital currency is like a generalized term for currency whether crypto or fiat that is working through digital techs.

Well why won't you spare even a couple of dollars to invest with some really good altcoins like ethereum, it'll be a much better move in my opinion because in that way you can still have profit (if the price of the coin goes up) even though your day trading isn't that good and you don't need to hold it for a long time, just set a date where you'll exit and take your money back, that's what i'll do if i have a $1000

Yes a lot of youngs are informed about the crypto and blockchain but lacks the will to initiate to start exploring cryptocurrency but the game could be a key so that they can adapt to cryptpcurrency, developers can make the game like how games are like in these days but the difference is you can earn real crypto and use crypto inside the game. The game should looks like it is explaning and doing a demo to the player about what you can do with your cryptos and i am quite sure they will not just be informed about crypto but they will adapt, they will become crypto enthusiast.

Yes that is why self-control is a must have here inside the crypto world because it can save you a thousand times from being scammed by strangers in the internet. I known a few friends who lost some money just because they're not thinking first about their actions and in result scammers take advantage if it and scammed them. We all need to remember that a having a good self-control will help us avoid scammers.

Indeed there is no best way to teach them aboyt cryptocurrency than telling them that they will gonna profit in this even without investing some money and honestly i think that most of all or maybe all of us are here in crypto world because of the money.
In my place i would give them some crypto's to start with and would teach them how would they make that money grow and i am sure that they will surely have interest with it.

I think bitcoin can reach $20k next year after its halving and surely altcoins will follow bitcoin's trend but as of now it is a very hard situation where bitcoin continues on dropping and in my opinion it will go down below $6k by the end of the year so next year bitcoin needs some work in order to bring back its price and to reach much higher coin price and so that altcoins will follow its trend and also reach higher market price.

Tama kahit hindi pasko marami pa ring nagkalat na links sa internet na iiscam ang iyong pera at sa panahon ngayon na pasko nakakaisip sila ng mga paraan para maattract yung mga tao sa pangiiscam nila. Sa panahon ngayon dapat alam na natin yung scam sa hindi dahil ito ang isa sa mga pinaka kinakailangan mo sa loob ng crypto world. Suggest ko na wag gagamit ng iisang email lang dahil once na malaman ng iba yung info ng email na yun, maaraming makuha lahat ng pinaghirapan mo.

My guess is it will go as low as 6500 dollars and investors will really need to have lots of patience and good strategy on how will they react to this kind of market, they need to utilize their resources in order to get profits.
Same thoughts with you bro, crypto will experience a good price pumped next year because of the companies partnering with crypto and also because of the halving.

Well yes there is no doubt about people picking bitcoin to invest with but the OP ask about altcoins so bitcoin is out of the options. I mostly but not always look at cmc to check which coins are in the high ranks now and are also popular and indeed ETH is such a great altcoin to hold for a long term investment but you can also search for some new coins or lower rank coins that have a good team so that even though the coin isn't that popular you can still be at ease that you'll have a high chance of getting a profit with that coin in the future.

The best way to punish those scammers is to ignore them, to be not entertained by anyone in the crypto world because that's their first objective to be known by someone so that they can scam that certain individual. Same with you man i also got scammed by ICO projects and after that i raise my standards about projects and do lots of research before investing so that it won't happen again.

Yeah it is totally a small amount of money and indeed he/she will be having hard time playing with that $9. I think the OP should start collecting more coins in bounties or anywhere he/she can get coins in order to have money enough to be use in trades and i am quite sure that you will surely grow the money that you will invest.
But i don't agree to put it in gambling because you might just lose that $9 and yes there is a chance to win but for me i will not risk that money if that's the only money i wanted to put in crypto, better to store it and wait till bch have a price increase.

Same thoughts in my mind and i think that it will still reach a lower price and investors will be in a tough situation in these days because of the very down market because they cannot have any profit but at the same time it is also an opportunity to buy more coins.
In my opinion the market still haven't reached its bottom and will continue getting a little bit low but it will soar high again because of the halving happening next year.

Yes that is why knowledge is power, specially here in the crypto world even though you do not have good amount of money to invest in cryptocurrencies but you have a good foundation of knowledge about the trading, you will surely succeed in your trades and being a good trader also requires good set of attitude that can help you go through the market trends without your attitude making you hard to decide what to do.

Yes it is true that there is a lot of good projects that you can invest with but i don't think their reason for buying new tokens is because of fast profits, i think it is because they wanted to gain profit in that coin once it get stronger in the market in the market and they we're giving it a try and testing the potential of that coin but of course no coin can head to head with bitcoin as of now.

Like what you've stated you see long term holding now as a better option and i think that concludes that we should be able to do both day trading and long term holding so that we can utilize each thing and maximize the profit that we can possibly earn here in the crypto world but of course it requires you extra effort because you need to know how to do both day trading and long term holding.
