No doubt Ethereum is top altcoin available in the market and its tough competition to Bitcoin but the point of it overtaking or outraging btc is not true In light of any event because it serve a different purpose.The btc was first crypto if it's type developed say on version 1.0 then ETH was built on version 2.0 and it is also built on blockchain technology but it allows others projects to build over its platform using ERC-20 tokens and many coins have been built on ETH technology which is quite a advantage of it but still it has many flaws like high transaction fees and it cannot handle loads like Bitcoin technology.Moreover EEA support behind ETH technology let's user smart contarct usage to built projects to deal with complex situation in a handy way.But still btc remain on the top of list due to advantages over other altcoins and customer trust and preference over btc network has made it strong enough to be broken by any other coins in the market even ETH.

The pay rate cannot be compared between both as they are different and have their own working and your profits are decided by your skills and your level of knowledge in the market.

Investment:
It is mainly of two types in the crypto market or stock market and investors prefer both of them according to their wish and needs but you need to understand the market behaviour first of fall if you want to survive in the market for long run

A)Short term investment: The investors who are willing to invest for period of say less than a year and cash out their returns prefer this type of investment and many user who have experience of the market and they monitor the regular growth of coin in which they have invested can handle such situations of risky and volatile crypto market.

B) Long term investment: The investors who are new to the market and don't want to get into trouble of market complexities and have no worries about time they can opt this investments as they are safe if you have invested in potential coins like BTC,ETH not the shitcoins available in the market then you will definitely get your returns on them.

Trading   
It is type of investment but under this you can buy coins and trade them on exchanges on daily basis or whichever suits you.You can have portfolio mixture of altcoins and you need to set a account with one of the legit centralized or decentralised or OTC excganges in the market and become a trader.You need to keep a sharp eye on the market fluctuations as they will have direct affect on your returns and monitor regular growth of your coins and sell whenever the prices are higher which is pay of you time and efforts.

SO ITS BASICALLY PROFIT IN THE END WHICH MATTERS FROM WHEREVER YOU CAN GET ACCORDING TO YOUR DECISIONS.

He has build an empire and taken Tesla to new levels with his intellectual skills and moreover he has influential behaviour which implies that whatever action he takes the other people thinks that is correct.This year his wealth has grown substantially with more than $100 billion alone in nine months which is quite large.This happened to due to Tesla share prices recahing S&P 500 index and trading above $850.So the point is there is hype about Musk everywhere which is why he can move the market accordingly and invest in those ventures himself and people follow him.No doubt people follow their role models and act in the same manner they told them to do but Musk is overrated at this by the general public globally which in turn can lead to Tesla bubble burst anytime soon.He is socially active and part of cryptomarket and his tweets turned the prices of dodgecoin and he who knows he might be having a portfolio of Bitcoin investment lying in his hardware wallets safe with him and he will show his cards when prices rise too high because he is foresighted person and knows the true value of Bitcoin.

The number of investors trading in Bitcoin with large volume is increasing day by day and when the prices are low as market is witnessing bearish trend(a small correction in price dips) whoever is interested is investing their funds in Bitcoin.The funds are flowing into the crypto market and exchanges are witnessing rush over their servers as their customers base have incresed 10-15% over the past few months.This has in turn lead to btc prices moves towards ATH of $35000 above and market cap above $600 billion.But there is potential risk also there because if they cash out their profits when prices rise they will try to create a dump situation in the market and they will pay high transaction fees to clear their transaction and cash out their profits at priority basis.But still the number of users and investors are increasing day by day because of high returns this year.

See your decisions should not be influenced by others opinion as its wholly your choice whether you want to hold your Bitcoins or you want to sell them at the current prices.If you have got your satisfactory profits and you are willing to leave the market cashing out your return you are free to do so.But if you have not get your retuns you should hodl for long term as btc is undergoing a small correction due to which the prices are down (if you are not new you know the volatility factor and these are integral part of btc system) and in the long run price will surge to ATH again so you can have patience until that.

Some of the tips which might be useful for you:

- Be patient in crypto market if you want to get high profits without panicking
-Keep hold of your nerves without getting sentimental as you can loose all your funds in the market
-Be self dependent and take your own decisions considering market movements.

The small correction are part of btc volatility and after reaching ATH of $38k the prices were down by 11% due to some FUD spread by the some shitty exchange but still I would not call it bearish trend as prices are still too high as compared to the past year stabilising between $26-$30k which is good indicator.We can see more price dip to $20000 until there are prices surges once again taking them above $40000 so don't be afraid of such small corrections

There are some exchanges out there which are providing quite good interest over your Bitcoin deposit with them and they are legit exchanges but still 2% daily average is not theirs cup of tea as they offer 6-7% annually so you are intelligent enough to do the maths and find out that it's one of the ponzi schemes under which Yobit send you such mails and once you deposit your coins they are freeze and you losse your access over them forever so don't get eroded with such attractive offers and don't reply them if you want to have your btc safe with you.

We can't say exactly what the prices will be this year as they have grown substantially this year crossing $40k mark for the first time and reaching ATH.Although the prices have falllen 11% this week taking dip down to the $30k and being stable there which is a good indicator as they have not fallen down to extreme levels like the market crash of 2017 when it hit $5-$6k at that time.The market needs correction when there is price surge in the market and btc can cross $50k mark this year but it predicting such prices is diificult so I stay with $35-$40k mark this year as extreme price pumps may lead to bubble situation which can create huge crash in the market moreover with dips,FUD,whales manipulation of the market it will still cross $45000 and gain green signals with price reaching high levels next year.Hope for the best.

There are many gambling sites coming nowadays and its really hard to verify them and choose which one is legit and have no trust issues.With this inappropriate thread created by OP it seems that site is not at all good as there is no customer conviencing strategy and he might have been paid just to promote this site by the owners.The site must prove probably fair system and mention complete details of the project with proper ANN in particular section if they are into the market with positive motive.Or othervise once you deposit your funds over there it will not show any funds deposited in your wallet as they are just created for money making schemes and you cannot trace them later on so better be sure first before getting into such things.

There are many false trading YouTube channels created by so called experts which just grab your views with attractive thumbnails and when you open the video you realise you just wasted your time and so is the case with you.Have they provided any link or information regarding profit or double your coins?
There are many ways in which you can earn Bitcoin like:
1)Signature campaigns, bounty campaigns
2)Faucets or captcha
3) Selling products in exchange of Bitcoin
4)Providing services or getting paid in btc

#And there are many more ways but you cannot get profit in real terms if you are holding your coins and not selling them when prices increased you need to sell them for profit

# The double amount will be when you have buy for $10 and the prices have gone $20 by the time you are holding or against the currency you have bought like USD,Pound,INR etc but if you are looking for some fancy ways by which you can increase your wealth with some secret tips you are following the wrong path and you need to learn the market functioning first of all.

The market was going to witness another dip or we can say correction soon because the prices were going too high at $40k and its the part of crypto market that pump and dump in prices which we called volatility factor of Bitcoin and other altcoins.But we can say that the prices went slightly down due to the FUD spread by Cointelegraph which states that there was double spend flaw in Bitcoin amounting of $21 but actually there were two blocks mined simultaneously and the problem will be resolved with new blocks mined afterwards as there cannot be such a situation in btc due to its design on blockchain.Many will try to create such rumours on which we do not need to beleive and stay calm and enjoy btc rise as they will rise to another levels this year maybe $50-$60k soon.

The Bitcoin has become one of the largest financial service market with the total market capitalisation crossing $500 billion above along with Visa cards and the prices have increased drastically this year with 300% growth 💹 reaching $35000 and now there is correction in the market with price drop which is good because there is stability in prices now and they have not gone to dump situation this time.The volatility is key factor of Bitcoin and we need to worry about it and have patience and hodl our coins till prices surges again.The whales and other participants in the market try to create FUD which leads to price fall for making huge profits as they buy at the dips and sell at high prices.So avoid all unnecessary news which try to create panic situation in the market and relax because btc has a lot of potential to grow and become leading currency of digitalization.

You are talking about 10 years ago when btc was not at all famous among masses and only few people who got indulge in crypto at that time got opportunity to buy at lower prices. I came across btc 5 years ago only but still I was tool not to invest my time and money in it and I think many more feel the same with me.The prices have gone too far this time taking them to ATH to $35-$40k range so who have not invested in btc might feel bad for him or sold at lower prices.Imagine the situation of person who have ordered the most expensive pizzas of 10000 worth Bitcoin?So it's the time and mover advantage that you can get.There might be many lucky persons who have invested pennies in btc and now sitting on piles of money.I would regret if I still not be part of monetary and financial revolution that will take decentralised cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin to top and prices will boom at that time.So be smart invest now if you have not invested earlier because investing at $30000 will not hurt when prices will reach $100k or will it still be expensive investing opportunity?

According to the reports Elon Musk has recently surpassed world's richest person Jeff Bezos to gain the title as Jeff Bezos CEO of Amazon stood at a wealth of $185 billion and Musk is now worth more than $209 billion as his electric car manufacturing company Tesla shares hit ATH of $831 making him the richest person on the planet earth.But as mentioned by OP there is some kind of misunderstanding as Amazon is still more worth than Tesla because Tesla market cap is now more than $800 billion after it hit the S&P 500 index and it overtakes Facebook to become 5th largest company in the world in terms of market capitalisation but Amazon is still way ahead of it with $1.517 trillion market cap which is still far away from it.Musk wealth has grown extensively this year as he adds $150billion to his weatlh coming from 35 position of Forbes to the world richest person so fast.This jump came after the massive demand of Tesla cars hit the market and Musk brand image and his geniusness and social interaction with the society helps to create companies image to a higher level as he posses good share in Tesla.Moreover he is planning to colonize mars by 2024 and use cryptocoin there called Marscoin as indicated by his tweets and who can forget his dogecoin rally movement when he tweeted about it and the prices went up the graphs within moments.He can swing the moments and turn everyone in his side at this moment with his personality but who knows what happens next. So be sure about what you post.

As an new investor you can find it difficult to invest in the right coin in crypto market but you need to take some essential steps which will help you to survive in the market with profit making if you understood it right. Here are some of my suggestions to the new traders who want to invest in the market :

1)Coin and exchange Selection primarily:
Select your choice of coin and exchange in which you want to trade with your proper research and knowledge as there are many legit exchanges available like Binance,Coinbase, Kucoin which deals in wide range of altcoins

2) Expect the unexpected:
However, significant volatility does exist in cryptocurrency markets which cannot be ignored. Experienced cryptocurrency investors are accustomed to huge price swings that you often don’t find in traditional markets. By mentally preparing for these unfavorable, and occasionally terrifying, investment performances, the intelligent crypto investor will be able to act rationally instead of emotionally in times of unexpected price drops.

3)Understand the uses for both cold and hot wallets:
Cryptocurrency can be stored via an offline “cold” wallet or an online “hot” wallet. Ease of access makes hot wallets a more desirable option for the beginner investor. However, as convenient as hot wallets are, they are susceptible to being hacked, whereas cold wallets are not able to be hacked (if prepared properly). Ideally, it’s best to store cryptocurrency you plan on saving for a long time in a cold wallet, and keep only a small amount that you might use on a daily basis in a hot wallet.

4)Stay away from ponzi schemes:
At this time there are large number of ponzi schemes running which creates a hype about a coin in the media and creates financial strong background or promise the users 10-15% returns monthly but after they have raise the funds you cannot trace them or you do not get your proper results as what are promised.So it's very hard to indetify them but still you need to look for legit ones

5)Do not invest in shitcoins that are available in the market because they will not grow and your investments will stand at the same rate without providing any benefits to you so it's better to invest in some of the major coins like Bitcoin and ETH which will provide high returns in the long run as they have trust, potential and resources to grow in future

6) Diversify your portfolio:
As said by OP you don't need to invest all your amount in one coin but instead of that put your money in different assests so that if one of them is in dump situation you do not loose all your money which is one of the main strategy of all the good traders prevailing in the industry

7)Ignore the noise and stay calm:
You need to get on your nerves even in the panic and dump situation and think wisely without getting eroded with the emotional sentiment and be the part of panic sellers in the market that will eventually help you to gain profit in the long run when prices again jumped higher if you have invested in the potential coins.

So these are some of my suggestion for the welcoming of new investors ready to move Into the world of crypto currency and I hope you will find it useful and I will be pleased if it will help you in some way.
