LTC is stuck to lite version of Bitcoin motto. Ethereum is being actively refined and updated and Ethereum is the prime fuel for ICOs.
Both coins are great and still profitable. But I believe Ethereum would be more beneficial than Litecoin in the long run.

That's an old mine-able coin which made a swap to Neoscrypt algo and supporting smart contract and hence is getting some momentum.

The concept is good. But it needs to be more decentralized for it to gain popularity.
An automated system that eliminates fraud and shares revenues all through blockchain technology.

Yes, it would be beneficial to sell any NEO gold you have if you are in profit as the time for such tokens is nearly off. They had their time and it's now time to move on.

I don't have such things as favorite as I look for pros and cons in all of them.
Ethereum was a bright project but increase in competition and division in community has weakened it.
Monero is still the favorite among anonymous coins and I believe it would rise further.

There are many and complex things to consider. As many coins that seem to take off may also be a pump and dump coins.
The planning.
Team.
Concept.
community,
decision making capability of the developers.

Mining is not illegal in many parts of the world including russia and china.
But russia is one of the first to regulate cryptocurrency which offered a trustable future for crypto based projects in the country.
That's why a large number of larger mining farms are emerging in russia.

Most popular alternative for coinbase is kraken, still the best rates can be obtained from local dealers which deals directly in your currency and bank accounts of your nation.

IF you want to create tokens, you need a side chain platform like ethereum. If you want a coin, you can fork any coins or start new with their algo. But it would be better to do more research before jumping into one.

It's all about miners, difficulty and profit between bitcoin and bitcoincash. As both of them have same algorithm and devices for mining, bitcoincash is the real competitor of bitcoin.

The value for every coins are determined by the user itself.
And it's best to go with decentralized coins without any premines and can that don't require industrial level miners to mine.

Cryptocurrencies are meant to be decentralized and for everyone. A slight localization flavor may leave a large group of people out of the community.
It's better to go with universally accepted concepts on cryptos.

From my facebook and twitter feeds, mostly coming from news sites like cointelegraph, coindesk, bitcoinmagazine,etc.
From reddit and the forum itself.

The article is not in English.
There are many things to consider while comparing the sidechain platforms not being limited to technology, team and community.

The only airdrop coin that made me some money was POS token and I still hold some of it in hope of getting higher price as it is steadily increasing.

If you have sent it to bittrex, they only can help you. But they would probably not as they are always looking for chances to scam people. It's free money for them.

People would get it the way they want it.
It would be conservative to say bitcoin only is the best cryptocurrency.
Yes, it was one of the first but there are also people who may argue bitcoincash is the real bitcoin (though I'm not among them).
So, its all upto the people.

NEO for sure is one of the best and easiest to stake. Most other POS coins seems risky, but with the decreasing price of Nova only coins, you can grab some dirt cheap and wait for them to get to another exchange.

As bitmain was relatively neutral towards the time fork, Viabtc was the largest supporter of BCC.
I don't think their work is bad but bitcoin would always be the one which has the largest community support. (use)

Just go with tutorial to mine with linux.
It's basically the same for most linux. Which coin are you trying to mine?
You have to install the supported miner package.
