I am a huge follower, supporter and investor of ripple. I think that ripple which is supported by banks will become number one coin the future. We can see its performance in the recent past wherein it has grown significantly in prices as compared to its competitors. Now it has beaten ethereum and will beat even bitcoin in the nearest future.

There are no other options left than wait, wait and wait. At this time, only one mantra is hodl, do not panic-sell. As we all know crypto is volatile, there is no wonder that the market is down. The market is down just to raise and come strong again. Wait for bullish market.

If you are holding for long term, it will give you more profit. Trading is short term. It means you buy a coin, and sell it the moment you get a bit more profit. It gives you profit instantly. Personally i prefer trading as there is less risk of loss. In trading you may suffer a bit loss. But in cryptocurrency, it is unlikely given its volatility.

I think that altcoins are being liberated non dependent on bitcoin over the time. It means there is high competition in the market, meaning if a coin shows good performance, it will obviously be liked by investors and it will rise in values. See latest market trend, many altcoins are rising in values despite bitcoin falling. So altcoins will not die if bitcoin dies, I think.

The market has many good coins for investment. But I like ripple as it is the first coin that are being supported by banks. And its team and technology is also good. Its performance is good despite the fact that the market is struggling to rise. Other coins that I like the most are ethereum, ADA, MTC, Coinex and tron.

I think that new ICOs are not taking any effort to implement their the purpose of their project, so they are failing. Even now almost 10 years since the first coin was established, most of coins have not implemented what they were established for. It is high time that the coins should have started doing what they were actually established for.

I think the year 2018 is and was the worst year for cryptocurrency as the year is marked by regulations. Many coins dropped in prices. But one good thing is those coins that fail to compete were dumped. But the year 2019 will come with much vigor and the market will go up again. So lets hope and be positive about crypto. 

As you know that crypto is highly volatile, there is no question quitting the game. Seeing the previous market trend, crypto may go up anytime. Many countries and the authorities are also expecting crypto in a way and another. So I think cryptocurrency is the future and one should support it instead of quitting.

Investing in ICO is a good thing and it may give more profit if the project turns out genuine. However there are reports that many new fake ICOs have fleeced investors. So it is a matter of concern and one should be extra alert. In my case, I do not invest in any new ICO as I think it is risky investing in new ICO. 

If you follow my advice you can invest in bitcoin. See the market, its prices have not been affected considerably by the market sinking as compared to other coins. It means it is performing well. And it has high chances of being accepted by the world in the method of payment. Another coin that is good is ethereum.

It is up to you whether you want to sell or hold. If I am in your place, I would certainly hold, hold and hold until the coins I have been holding go up as much as to recover my loss. In your case, you have lost 30 percent. The loss would be covered if the market goes up a bit. And you should sell all your holdings if you think that cryptocurrency is going to die forever.

The word 'Hold' in crypto market is not new one. And it may mislead you if you do not understand its meaning properly. If you hold bad coins, then there is not worth doing so. Bad projects will never give you profits. My suggestion is hold only the good coins and hold until you can afford it. Rather learn about trading and crypto before investing.

Yes it does. It is only about the matter of time. There was a time when altcoins soared to their highest level-the good year is 2017. Following this so far, the cryptocurrencies are down to their lowest level due to fear that how authorities would respond to the new invention. But the market will again go up as authorities are becoming positive about it.

Yes you are right that the year 2017 was the best year for crypto as there were not regulations in place. Reports of regulations have brought cryptocurrency down as people are not sure their investment in crypto is safe or not. Likewise, reports of crypto scams are also in part to blame. Now again the year like 2017 would come for crypto as many are positive about this new invention. 

It is not deniable that bitcoin has dominated the market. But it is not true that only bitcoin is a good investment. There are many good coins that are worthy of investment. And they have grown with time. For example, Ethereum, Dash, ripple. These coins started with less than $1. But their values are higher now.

You should start with as little money as you like. It is because you are a newbie and you need to learn more about cryptocurrency and trading. If you invest more money in it, you may suffer a big loss for want of knowledge of trading. So start with $500. Then you can increase you investment and make more profit.

Your choice is right. Bitcoin is a good coin for investment. But it is better to invest in bitcoin for more profit if you are a big investor. If you are a small investor (below $5000), you can buy many other good coins for long term hold. Ripple is good coin you can buy. Other good coins are stellar, tron, cardano, IOTA.

I personally like both BTC and ethereum as both of them are good coins. Talking about bitcoin's performance, you can see its prices are not declining as compared to other coins. Talking about ethereum, although it has declined dramatically in prices, I am sure it will rise to a higher level in the coming days. It will hit $1500 by the end of the year 2019.

No this is not the end of crypto. Neither am I worried about it. Cryptocurrency is the new invention mainly in transaction. It will make us independent of banks which are unnecessarily creating hassles for service seekers. Although the market is down and it is failing to attract many. It will become the future of all of us.
