Indeed, XRP is not having any utility function here. There is no way we should be trusting on the XRP coin for our profits for the long terms.

But we can always make fortune out of it with short term trades. These trades are all dependent upon the swing nature of the XRP where it goes up and down by at least 20 -30 cents on weekly basis. Now just imagine, if you even keep track of these ups and down and try to swing trade then you can make good money out of the XRP.

There is no question that it is shit coin but its upto you how to make profits out of it.

May be not! Government will never put themselves in the ambiguity like that and they will never ever make regualtions which will allow peoples to openly make transactions which can just let them use the crypto easily and turn down the taxation over it. If they do it then who will sue the fiat currency at all. Plus it is impossible to trace every bit of transaction in the blockchain and you will never be able to diversify the transaction of different countries. Thus you will never know where the user is based, to which location they belong and thus almost impossible to know who made the transaction. I think nothing will work up and only fiat is the option at the end.

Off course there were many projects in which I invested in the early days. NEO was one of it and I invested into it when it was around 25 bucks each. I worked on their bounty program and also had some token from that phase. I like the idea of NEO at that time because it was first project after the ETH who supported the ICO formation and thus it was unique idea of that time. I sold the NEO when it reached ATH 126 USD (for me) and thus I made whopping profits of more than 100% on my investment. I benefited huge from the tokens that I gotten from its bounty. 

After long time someone has thought about this in right way. We should always learn from our experiences, yes thats the perfect way to go around it! If you juts keep trying the trades, put lot of money into it then it will never get us towards the success but only loss. If you are loosing then that is the real thing, you must catch all the points which went wrong in this regard and must try to get lesson from it. If you apply this lesson to next time trade then surely you can grow your knowledge more and more around it. So I liked your stamens as they speak the truth!

Well dont you think that at any given time point all the crypto currency except bitcoin are cheaper only? I mean what prices do they have when they get launched or whenever they get hiked in the market after real developments? May be 10-100X of the initial value but still most of them are under 1K USD and thus bitcoin always stays costly one.

So the question is whether should we give preference to all of them? Yes, off course we can always have them invested as they are early bitcoins which can be invested today and thus we may expect some good spikes in the future from them. May be we can just earn enough from them which bitcoin may also not give back to us at this stage.

Go and visit IOST project and you will see what you are really missing here. I think of IOST as perfect investment for long term holding. At anytime you can get entered into it and still look for the benefits as they are growing in the investor base day by day. This has called for perfect altcoin like this and guaranteed profit from.
Nothing is coming out of the thin air here, this project is fully developed one and having solved all the major issues already. You may wanna consider that project for all your profits this year.

Yes crypto currency is like open stuff however it’s upto you how you will use it for your own benefit. Many people does start somewhere but end up at the stage where they are exhausted and tired. They are just not wanting to get deeper into it and those who dive into it will always get the charm of crypto. There are so many ways of earning with the crypto currency and thus it gives us almost second income source. You just have to be realistic enough in that.

Indeed. The growth is sure when it comes to the fairly legit coins around us. Even take the example of ETH where it was worth couple of dollars one day and now its around few hundreds! Thats the growth we are talking about and these all are supporting evidences for the crypto currency hikes and its not just few times but some hundred to thousand times the basic value. I agree that development can help in this regard a lot and thus we should be watching such coins all the time for our profits. Just look at the market and see, many coins are coming in the Top 50 and reaching the level of Top 30, 20, and eventually 10! Why is that so? Because people keep watching for it and invest more and more and thus it gets higher status. So yeah the idea of long term is the same only.

Pretty much any altcoin that I think is going to be best investment this year. For now more focus has put forth over ETH, EOS, TRX and NEO. As there is mainet going on successfully for the EOS and TRX I am very much excited to see what they are upto and how they are looking forward to make further developments. If they perform this task well then this investment will worth something.

Rest of altcoin which are always in my portfolio are IOST, JNT, SCL, XRP, ADA and XVG.

Yeah that is good one. I like the point where you mentioned keeping track of everything under one excel sheet. I do that all the time to watch my portfolio, have my private keys in one place and secured one. I always keep an eye over the crypto market through this excel sheet by updating it multiple times and thus it also gives me idea on how my portfolio is doing really and whether I need to change it or upgrade it and more or less shaping it profoundly.

These are small steps which we can always take for achieving big dreams of getting millions. These small steps can tell us where we lacking and where we need to get upgraded in the long run so that our profit will be upto the mark.

Not all the coins really contribute to the development of blockchain and thinking in that way is not 100% right I believe. I think only top coins like BTC, ETH, XRP has really been real contributor to the blockchain technology because they have really made some sort of investment into it and have created bigger platforms based on it. If not then look back the past and see how all it got started with them and where are they today with it. Blockchain is like brain and all the coins are like neutrons in it. If you dont do brain workout then neither those neutrons will be electrified nor there will be strengthening of the brain itself.

People react to different projects in completely different ways and no one can really predict about the real pump or real dump. The real that is natural one comes in when there is proper development of the project going on or at least there is investor base who thinks positive about it and keep investing into it all the time. This keep up the volume heavy everyday and thus when other people look at this scenario then they see natural up surge in it.

In your example exactly opposite might have happened, where most of the people saw that Deeponion is getting low volume or people are selling the coin like crazy. This has led to panic sells as usual and those who wants to get out of the scams will still keep dumping the coin no matter what happens.

It is but obvious that bounty is the prime type of advertisement where there are more than thousands of attendees who gets involved with the crypto projects. The reason is simple, they get rewards of their tokens for just working over their project with some time and effort spent on it through the social networking or other campaigns. At the end they get stakes and earn money later on after the exchanger listing. 

Now, if they have such great protocols of earning easy money then why people will not get involved into it. 

That could be good news for the whole XRP holders here. I guess this will help grow the popularity of the XRP in the news, local paper, and aired in the TV's. This will rise the popularity surely and thus it may help the ripple community to grow its investment. But I always see one drawback with the ripple. The ripple is having unlimited emission of their coins and thus what they are giving away really is very small amount of their economy. Also dont forget guys that XRP is giving away our investment from their cartels.  

Hope that they dont let us down in the meantime by giving away everything. They must stop the emission of XRP at some point to grow the demand of it and rise the prices.

You can limit your choices by categorising them in two different categories.

For example, I divide them in two categories of 1) Coins in Top 10 and 2) Undervalued Coins

1) Coins in Top 10

- ETH
- XRP
- NEO (11th Rank but good one)
- EOS
- IOTA

2) Undervalued Coins

- IOST
- SCL
- JNT
- REM (Recent addition)

I believe that these coins are not in line with whatever they are claiming. The prices are really off the chart and what the hell is going on with the NANOX ? The price is ATH at $ 2, 530, 660, that is crazy guys. Who believes on these coins and do you guys really think that they are not going to be scammers?

The Total supply for the NANOX is 1 coin!

The total volume is just 500 bucks. And I think that this is just completely scam one. The same thing follows for the others too.

Thanks for bringing this up, I never saw them recently.

When such question is asked then answer is always unpredictable. However, we do know that crypto currency market is something that will always keep going no matter what happens. The investors will always keep in the market on daily basis. This relation is completely exponential and thus the growth is followed in the same manner. I think today's market situation is changing continuously where new ICO or crypto projects keep forming themselves and thus new people and old people keep pouring money into it. This has changed the way everything works here making the crypto projects stronger every time.

It could be very normal for the ICO projects to take some time. But now a days the process is faster if they pay good fees to the exchanger. So it all depends on how they are making the progress in terms of listing.

And off course as we are in the crypto space then we shouldn't be believing this all the time. If the time is over the head then that could be really troubling thing. You need to at least have a proof whether they have made the application or not.

Well if you are investor then you will have complete transaction between you and the developers of that project thus making it valid reason for them to ask for your KYC. The fact is it's mandatory for them to ask you KYC so that fraud cases are loosen up bit. It's not really necessary as it's taking out the decentralised freedom which was supposed to anonymous one.

Anyway in the long run they will ask it surely. But if you are talking about the bounties then surely it is not needed because when you token from their then that's not really a sale!

Off course they do join it. Why does it even bothering you. Crypto is almost for everyone out here, rich, poor, literate and ilieterate etc etc. I think it gives opportunity to everyone with its simplicity. Anyone who can read and write can become rich person around here. What do you need is just sometime to understand everything , get to know how stuff works here and learn the basics.

I am sure that mostly people who are uneducated might be taking part in it as they might be have lot of spare time which they can put into the crypto currency and live amazing life.
