Many people know that Dash has lost its main advantage — anonymity. Experts believe that investors who chose Dash because of its anonymity will soon be looking for an alternative with the same characteristics. Over the past 4 months, the difference in capitalization Dash and Monero decreased from a billion to 700 000$. It is possible that in 2018 the capitalization of Monero will begin to grow even faster.

Analysts predict a jump in the rate of the coin when its developers will release the announced multi-Sig wallet. With it, it will be easy to integrate Monero with many online stores (and from experience, this integration had a positive impact on the Monero course). According to some reports, the coin can be added by such giants as Magento, OpenCart and OpenBazaar. If this is implemented, the number of transactions in the Monero network will increase in the price of the coin.

Many novice investors, encouraged by the success of bitcoin last year, come to this market and want to get a quick profit. But not all projects can make a profit so quickly. You need at least 1-2 years to develop the project, after which you can get 100-1000 percent profit. Bitcoin took 7 years to achieve such results. My recommendation is to be patient and not sell coins.

Ether in this case is probably the best product. Although very young and still unstable, it has two features. First, its Creator Vitalik Buterin - a real man. He appears and regularly comments and actively participates in the development of the project. Like bill gates or Elon Musk, he is the face and brain of the product. It has the authority to develop it, including its shortcomings. Similar moments like this tend to soothe the market.
Second, Ethereum is part of a much more successful history in the making. With a digital currency, called Ether, pulled out of this larger entity, it has a greater chance of maturing and subsequent development.
Thus, at the moment both cryptocurrencies are good investments. But everything can change at any moment.

Options not so many. There is a great multi wallet JAXX. Very easy to use with a great interface. There is an even more reliable option - the use of hardware wallet ledger nano s. The wallet supports about 30 different coins such as btc, eth, dash, xrp, neo and others

I think zcash for a very promising coin. In accordance with the roadmap, which was published on the project website in December 2017, the development team at ZCash is planning a series of various innovations in 2018. In particular, we are talking about two important updates to the network: Sapling and Overwinter.

Since it is aimed at combating the most common problems of the cryptocurrency sphere — the lack of confidentiality, this digital coin potentially has every chance of a great future. And, therefore, we can expect an increase in its price.

In addition, there are rumors that Ethereum is a partner of ZCash. From this partnership, investors can expect improved scalability and customization of the entire digital money ecosystem in the near future.

Agree with you ZIL an excellent project! I also always pay attention to fresh startups, and I believe that they are more likely to bring maximum profit to their investors. From myself I can recommend the wabi (WaBi) project Walimai, WaBi company, is a company that develops solutions to ensure the authenticity of the product. WaBi-a project that connects the world of digital and physical goods using a secure channel on the blockchain, which records the unique ID-tags of each product. Token WABI users need to quickly pay for products labeled Walimai. If there are not enough tokens in the account, you can pay in yuan (the base currency for the startup). The closest competitor to WaBi, Walton, has a huge market capitalization of $ 430 million, while WABI is more advanced in terms of development.

Every year, the capitalization of the cryptocurrency market increases. Trading on exchanges becomes the basis for the rise and fall of many coins. As for the EOS – starting from November 2017, we see an upward trend. This means that the coin is interesting to investors and the price will increase. It is difficult not to agree with the opinion of most experienced traders and experts, 2018 for the digital currency EOS will be successful. Capitalization will rise several times, respectively the price range is observed around 20-23 dollars for 1 coin. I recommend to keep this coin in your profile!

Perspective coins a large number of. I would recommend some of these: EOS, ADA, OMG, XVG, CAPP. In any case, you should analyze each of these projects yourself, and decide whether or not to invest.

It is very likely that Neo will enter the top 10 cryptocurrencies, because it is separated by only 1 position. The coin has many positive aspects: the continuation of the company's work with the certification authorities of China. We are talking about developments that can later be used to form smart contracts within real assets.
In addition, NEO has recently obtained a patent for the development of a cross-chain compatibility scheme that is designed to increase the speed of transactions. In parallel, NEO develops cooperation not only with large exchanges, but also with real companies. Some time ago on the market there were rumors that NEO is working on a joint product with Microsoft, but they have not received confirmation.

The problem is that most regulators continue to talk about bitcoin in outdated terms.

Bitcoin has the potential to create a whole new paradigm in the world of Finance – the largest technological innovation in many years.

The entire ecosystem of cryptocurrencies is developing so quickly that regulators do not have time to react even to current events, let alone planning. Legislators are preparing to establish rules for conditions that have no precedent, which are difficult to understand in their current form, and which are likely to be gone tomorrow.

Bitcoin requires a whole new way of thinking and a much more flexible approach on the part of the authorities, so that it can legally develop in the free market and provide its benefits to everyone.

You have picked up very good coins that are able to bring 100-200% profit during this year. But I would recommend to pay attention to more recent startups, which have much lower capitalization and, accordingly, the growth potential is much higher. These coins include the following:
0x (ZRX)
TRST (WeTrust)
Gup (Guppy)
Icn (Iconomy)
Ant (Aragon)
RLC
Sngls (Singular TV)
Exp (Expanse)
Music (Musicoin)
ION (ION)
GNT(Golem)

I think that many bitcoin holders are not engaged in the correct and reliable storage of bitcoins, because they have never been victims of fraud. Such is the nature of man, to do something after it's already happened. I mean, they're gonna start looking into security when their money disappears from their wallet in one day. Honestly, I don't understand the logic of such people, why take the risk?

Many now say that bitcoin is a bubble that will burst sooner or later. But I'm sure it's not.
A bubble, as many people imagine, is something that has grown rapidly, by many percent. Or maybe the cryptocurrency market has such a large capital deficit, such a large demand, such asymmetry of supply and demand that this is just the beginning? If you look at the shares of Amazon, for example, in 2001, they were also a bubble. But, first, after shares fell Amazon and other Internet companies, no one not blacked out from the Internet only because, that fell shares. The Internet as the market developed, expanded, despite the fact that shares fell. I think it's a good analogy. And more. Even if you bought Amazon stock at its peak in 2001, you still have a thousand times more money in dollars, because the shares rose a thousand times from the highest point of the dotcom boom period.
There is a good thesis: money is infinite, and assets are finite. Every month 200 billion dollars are printed all over the world. And interesting assets, interesting companies are not created so much, so the concentration of capital can be crazy in one interesting asset. And his assessment can be very big.

Altcoins are as good investment tools as bitcoin. And there is no sense to invest only in bitcoin and sell all altcoins. A lot of altcoins in 2017 showed very good growth. And this year I think will be no exception. Therefore, keep altcoins and sell at the peak of market growth.

Bitcoin is no longer the future but the present! For bitcoin, you can today buy almost everything. And most importantly, bitcoin is good as an investment tool. There was information about the recognition of bitcoin in Russia. The Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance are discussing methods of controlling operations with cryptocurrencies. The authorities are concerned about the possibility of digital currencies for illegal cashing and tax evasion. Therefore, in 2018, bitcoin can be legalized in Russia. In other countries, this is already happening. In Japan and Germany, the cryptocurrency is widely used in electronic calculations, and in Switzerland, the bitcoin equivalent to the official currency. The number of users of cryptocurrencies today exceeds 10 million people. Over the next few years, this figure could rise to 100 million.

If I had $ 1 million, I would invest everything in cryptocurrencies. He would distribute it among all the top coins. First of all BTC, ETH, XRP, NEO and others

When the market is on the rise, it seems to me that everything is growing in price, even the most seemingly not promising coins. The most important thing is to fix the profit in time. HB in General, it is better to invest in already working projects that have proven themselves in the cryptocurrency market. Any coin from the top 100. For example: ETH, EOS, XRP, NEO

From the point of view of technical analysis, the market ETC there is an active bullish trend, which is provided with good trading volumes. Whereas, the growth rate of the Ethereum Classic market (from $0 to $3 billion in 1.5 years) indicates a high level of demand for coins of this platform.

Today 1 ETC is equal to $19. If we take as a basis the previous dynamics of the cryptocurrency exchange rate Ether classic, according to which the price of these coins will reach $ 60 by the middle of 2018, and by its end we can see ETC at a price of $100 or more. Therefore, you can safely buy a coin

Now a huge number of altcoins, and many of them have great potential. I recommend investing in already proven coins that have good capitalization, such as the following coins:ETH, EOS, NEO, monero, DASH, XRP

Prospects as for me are vague, given the low marketing activity (not counting the hype around the fork), low Github activity and the lack of any news on the coin (in their Twitter only retweets Bitcoin Private).

Plus, among the events nothing planned nor Coindar or on Coinmarketcap, nothing. It seems that the coin was abandoned and now will only deal with the fork BTCP. Therefore, the prospects I don't see any, until the news (of course if they are). Although nothing prevents developers from making another fork, but it is unlikely that it will be perceived so rosy, because many have lost a lot of money on the classic dump.
