Which coin gave you more return? Investment on Alts or ICOs or BTC? I have been holding BTC for a long time and I want to expand my portfolio. I have ETH holdings as well. I tried trading with many coins but never made of it. The reason I don't want to invest on alts is that those companies will create FOMO and make people buy and after buying you will be rekted.
If bitcoin is rising then altcoins rise faster than bitcoin in terms of percentage because they have lower price but it depends on total market capitalization as well. You can also choose to invest in ICOs because it has a possibility that it will rise more when listed in exchanges but the opposite may happen as well. If the ICO has a holding period bonus then it would be better because there is a possibility that token holders would not dump their coins. If you want to be conservative then invest in bitcoin but if you want high risk but a possibility of having high rewards then investing in altcoins is good as well as long as they have good fundamentals. |

I'm very surprised. I never thought that listing on the exchange is also worth a lot of money. Now I understand why many small coins are not listed to large exchanges for a very long time. It's just very expensive.
Yes getting listed in exchanges is pretty expensive that's why some developers even ask its members to have a contribution or donation so that they can at least get listed in exchanges so that their coin can gain more exposure. Some would double or triple their effort to get listed by the community vote seeing how much those exchanges charged. This is the reason why decentralized exchanges has thousands of coins while those centralized ones has fewer coins. |

The future of altcoins depends a lot on ICOs and Bitcoins. In the future, not all altcoins will survive that great possibility will have a purge of altcoins, and only those new altcoins will be retained, and will not be deindexed and removed from the market. With ICOs too, there will be no scam projects.
There are so many ICO scams nowadays that some investors are now considering only buying the coins when it is listed in the exchanges because some do take time to get listed as exchange listings are getting expensive. Those scams tarnished the reputation of cryptocurrencies and the development of altcoins would be reduced as exchanges I believe would be more strict and there would be ICO regulations so that scammers would be reduced too and investors can avoid losing money. |

Both are important for me. There are plenty of easier ways to make money, but I like games. And what is the better game than to test your ability to analyze when something real is at stake? Not to mention this feeling when you're not completely sure in coin until it starts going up?
I trade for money because the cost of living right now is getting even more expensive but with cryptocurrency you can always earn profit depending on how long you are staying in the market. You just have to be patient if you stay away from trading actively and just hold your coins. I am in it for the money as well but there are some people maybe that has money already and they just want to be emotionally satisfied. Of course along with earning money is the emotional satisfaction you will have when you know that you were able to speculate properly and your strategy worked. With risk management and be able to manage your emotions then you will be able to earn successfully in trading. |

if they do then it will do more benefits to the citizens not to the governments.But I think this is really hard to happen. Countries have more and more control and bitcoin policies to match the country. It will take a lot of time for bitcoin to become a legitimate currency.
Its not gonna happen sooner because it would be hard for the people that are behind the technology to adopt to the changes unless all people have access to the network. If ever government would do it then bitcoin would be very valuable that even if you only hold one bitcoin, you are already considered rich. I don't think that government would just allow bitcoin to be use by people though but the most likely possibility is to create their own cryptocurrency so that they can still have control of its movement and for easier monitoring. |

I came to a realization that government had stepped in already in some countries who are accepted and acknowledge cryptocurrency existence. In fact they made a regulations that has made some negative and positve reactions over the implementation of cryptocurrency regulations like doing KYC (Knoy Your Client) on local exchanges, Registering ICO projects to the government agency concerns and etc which purpose is to prevent illegal or abuse in the use of cryptocurrency from money laundering, funding terrorist groups and etc. Well can you say about this regulations, GOOD or BAD?
It's good for me because it would make more people trust cryptocurrency and not just easily scream it is scam. Registration of ICOs is also good because there are so many scam ICOs nowadays and it would be good if they get the approval of the government because in case they do something wrong then the government would be able to reprimand them and the investors would be able to find a case and they would be in jail. We would like to do that to the team behind those scam ICOs but its hard to trace them due to lack of regulations. |

Why are all governments pro AI and are so against cryptocurrency? AI has been often conisdered as a threat to humanity but governments use it extensively but blockchain is the best thing that is ever happened to us humans and why do governments hate it so much? They are okay with driverless cars moving around streets but are not okay with currency that will make us more independent? Why this bias?
Blockchain technology and cryptocurrency are two different things you know. Blockchain technology is the backbone of cryptocurrency and it can exist without cryptocurrency while cryptocurrency cannot exist without blockchain technology. Government may welcome blockchain technology with open arms but due to the issues with cryptocurrency being anonymous and involved in illicit activities, some are just taking precaution and ban it in their country. It may be change sooner or later as we can see more countries accepting it. |

I think cryptocurrency have a bright future ahead of it. Especially more countries are now aware of it existing value. We all know that BTC went down compared to its value last year, but apparently, it's starting to gain this quarter. Cryptocurrency will surely be embraced by more people as time goes by. Never underestimate the dominace bitcoin had shown us all.
Bitcoin got a lot of exposure last year due to its meteoric rise and more cryptocurrencies are develop every day. Some of them will be worthless in a few years and some would flourish depending on the effort of its developers and if the community would support its project and use the coin for its actual purpose. Blockchain technology is gaining traction and more companies adopt it because they can see that it has lesser expenses and more efficient transactions. Along with the adoption and growth of scope of blockchain technology would be the growth of cryptocurrencies as well. |

It's actually easier to calculate your gain or loses when you are using USD as your benchmark as against when it's pegged against btc. An increase in Satoshi value does not necessarily correspond to an immediate increase in USD. And vice versa
Since we invested using fiat currency then most likely you will only be able to see that you have gained some when its dollar value increase. If the satoshi increase but its value went down then you don't feel that much what you have gained that's why it is better to base your gains in USD than in satoshi. But then it depends as well to what is your aim why you invested in a coin if you want to increase your satoshi or if you want to increase your dollar earnings. You have to decide because you will be confuse later on what you want to hold if it is more dollar or satoshi. |

You should look for your token on coinmarketcap, where you will see the exchange trust to use. Almost the current exchange is quite safe to use, you should combine 2FA. For top altcoins, Binance is the best, but exchanges like bittrex, poloniex, houbi, kucoin are worth a try if your token is not on binance.
Decentralized exchanges are good to use too like Etherdelta, Forkdelta, IDEX but then you just have to be careful to use the right site because there are many phishing sites that may hack your wallet since accessing these sites require you to input your private key except if you are using metamask then there is no need. Centralized exchanges have more volume though so it would be good to trade there if you have large number of coins. Some exchanges need KYC so better take attention when registering to an exchange. |

The reason why cryptocurrency has not become a payment medium is because cryptocurrency is known by few people, and there is no support from the state. Encryption is still in its childhood. I think it needs to be developed. I will definitely become a medium in the future.
It is still in the early stage of its development that's why it is not a medium of payment for majority of people. Some are already using it though but still only a few of them because others would rather make it an investment than a currency since there is still a possibility that it would become so valuable in the future that you will regret using it when it is cheaper. Market is also unstable that's why it is unfavorable for merchants to make it as payment option if they would keep it than convert it directly to fiat upon accepting it. |

Bitcoin prices are about to shit themselves, big time. Lots of bad news today. I went to my account and moved to cash. When it looks like things have settled, I'll buy back in at a lower price and make more profits.
For now, SELL YOUR BITCOINS!!!
The bitcoin is moving up again and I believe that bitcoin would only rise in the future, so there isn't any reason to sell your coins now as this is the time to buy more coins as its pretty easy to make money in bull market but it's a lot difficult to wait and watch your money dropping in value in down market so the people sell their coins when they are done with the falling bitcoin price. Unfortunately that's just how the emotions play that's why most likely people always do the opposite about the trading advice of buy low and sell high. What happen is that people would buy when the price is high hoping for further push upwards and then when it goes down, they would sell so what happens is panic selling and end up to more losses. OP sold his coins when the price is around $6,000 and maybe he bought now when the price is $7,500 when he should have done the opposite. |

Known personalities will indeed help crypto to dessiminate, and if they have many millions and billions of followers then it will e easier to inform people about it. Like the boxing legend Manny Pacquiao who is the latest celebrity endorsing crypto called GCOX. It doesn't need any advertising company then to pay for to advertise when in fact this people already endorsing freely.
Celebrities are a big help to spread the word about cryptocurrency. Celebrities that has a huge following would likely reach more audience compared to hundreds of people that has only hundreds of following. Celebrities has the ability to convince their fans to use or try a product so if a team would like to make their project famous instantly then a celebrity would be the best option since with just one tweet or post, it can reach millions of people and of course those who has no idea about it would try to know what it is. |

Encrypted currency means fulfilling my dreams for me.
I want to become rich through cryptocurrencies, I want to travel around the world. This is my personal big dream.
Because I am poor from my childhood
I have the same dream as yours that wanted to travel the world and one of the ways that I can see that will become a key to achieve it is through cryptocurrencies. I like the technology behind it and the possibility of earning from it is endless because it is a new kind of market and technology that will become the norm in the future so we are still considered as early adopters because majority of the people do not even know about it yet. I will make use of my crypto earnings to create another business and have diverse source of income. |

Considering the present market situation, which one will be more benefiting whether Daily trading or holding cryptocurrency for long time? Please let me know.
Well, those holders are now thinking of trading because the coins they are holding are not doing well but if you aim for the long term then it may just be alright given that the coin would be able to sustain the demand. Whether its day trading or long term holding, it is important that you know when you should take profit so that you can avoid being at a loss. Daily trading is more risky and may be more expensive in trading fees but at least you can avoid having huge losses when the bear market comes. |

Investors understand the crypto currency space, and they are confident that the market trend is sure to rise, they migth not be able to give a definate answer,be aware that the cryptocurrency is still evolving and several changes will take place with the market trend, this is sure to build more confident and encourage new investors to take part.
Investing in cryptocurrency has a huge risk given that majority of ICOs failed last year and some wasn't able to list in an exchange yet which makes some investors disappointed because they are hoping to earn when it is listed and they are waiting for a long time. There are still ICOs though that has made some investors happy because it has folded their investments several times. There are still promising ICOs out there and you just have to look and examine it carefully. If you need a list though of some promising ICOs, take a look at this link and see if it pass your standards. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2552575.0 |

I was reading the Bloomberg article about this. They add that Circle (Poloniex) is trying the same strategy. So this could start the next bull run. Especially for the projects that were speculated, Cardano, Basic Attention Token, Stellar, Zcash and Ox./////
A lot of good news coming in nowadays which may be the start of bull run. Any coin that is listed in coinbase moons after being announced or just being tested in their explorer and as for the coins that you mentioned, yes their price increase when it was tested in coinbase and if ever they proceeded to adding more coins then it would be good for the crypto space since people who are having a hard time in transferring coins to other sites/exchanges would have an easy accessibility to those coins. |
