You have a wrong idea about the prices of bitcoin and eth. Prices change all the time, they grow and fall. Back in the beginning of 2018, the price for bitcoin was near $ 17,000, for eth nere $ 1,300. Now you can look at current prices.
You can see the price history in charts, for example at https://www.tradingview.com/
You can now invest in all promising currencies. You, as a beginner, your choice is best to stop on Bitcoin and the eth. Personally, I prefer to leave most of my profit in bitcoin.

I don't see anything terrible and dangerous in this price reduction. In December 2017, Bitcoin was heavily overbought. Think for yourself, in the shortest possible time its price has risen to $ 20,000. It is quite natural that a deep correction is taking place now.
It was worth to wait. Now the market is clearing from those who don't believe in Bitcoin and blockchain technology. As a result, only deeply interested traders will remain on the market, and not one-day speculators whose goal was only to enrich themselves without putting any effort into it.
The price of bitcoin will certainly recover and continue to grow. Just believe in Bitcoin and this belief will bring you rewards in the future.

First of all, I'm attracted to the idea of blockchain and the idea of crypto currencies. I'm interested in what the creator of Bitcoin wanted to show us, I share his idea with him.
And the monetary benefit nourishes my interest. I just love the fact that the crypto currency brings me both pleasure and money. It's like a paid hobby

Yes, bitcoin trading, as well as other crypto currencies, is profitable (if you know how to do it) and interesting. Trading crypto currencies you will learn a lot of interesting information every day. In my opinion this is a huge plus in this industry.
But trading crypto currencies also carries significant risks. No one here will give you any guarantees or guarantee you. Here you are one on one with market manipulations.
In my opinion, if you have an idea, money, knowledge and understanding of your business, then you better implement all this and open your business. Because if you enter the market right now, you will need to spend a lot of time learning and practicing before you can start making good money.
If you have free time now, then dedicate it to learning to trade. If you have extra money now, then buy Bitcoin (especially since its price is very low now). But the main effort and money to direct on business.

I think that in the near future we will see further price reductions. Because there are no factors that are able to push the price of Bitcoin up. I suppose that the price will fall to $ 3150, and from there, I hope, the price will jump back and a bull run will begin. How long it will last, I also cant say, but by the middle of December I hope that the growth will begin.

I think Bitcoin doesn't need any regulation. His initial goal is to get away from regulation, from the banking system and make people able to decide for themselves how to manage their money. The government is just once again trying to control what can make people freer. So I'm against any regulation. And who doesn't like the lack of regulation, let him go to make money on the stock market.

The widespread adoption of Bitcoin doesn't at all force the entire world to give up absolutely all standards adopted in a long time.
If it is about the fact that Bitcoin will replace absolutely all the money in the world, that I assume that everything with taxes will remain as well. If you received payment for work in Bitcoin, then you must pay the appropriate tax. The movement of Bitcoin in this case is not difficult to track: Bitcoin entered from the employer to the employee, so the employee must pay the appropriate tax.
But the scenario of such a future is unlikely, since Bitcoin was originally created as a protest to the banking system and it is not known by whom, so it is unlikely to be accepted for use as a world currency. For these purposes, another currency will be created, one that may be controlled completely.

I really dislike it when somebody say that the train has left, regarding the crypto currency.
Crypto currencies began their journey not so long ago, only 10 years ago (Bitcoin). This is a short period of time for the development of such a complex technology and its adaptation to the real world. Today, there are still plenty of opportunities to become part of the crypto world and make a lot of money on it.
Those who think that the train has left is better to leave the crypto world. Such uncertainty about what you do will not give you the opportunity to earn money here. Every time when course will fluctuate strongly (which is periodically normal for any markets), fear and panic will envelop you. And this emotions will take away all the power from you and you will find yourself helpless and frightened by a child.
The train has not gone anywhere. It's only the beginning. If a person has faith in crypto currencies and a desire to make money on them, then he will definitely succeed.

Personally, I'm convinced that now is a great time to buy promising coins. I see this market situation as a huge opportunity. After all, when Bitcoin was at $ 20,000, many people said how they regret not having bought it before, when the prices for it were cheap. And now everyone has an opportunity to do it. But what about the majority? Most are simply afraid and don't buy. And now you can hear everywhere: “Bitcoin has come to an end”; "A crypto is a bubble"; "Sell all your crypto currencies before it's too late."

In my opinion it is more profitable to buy crypto currencies. By making online bets, you just play on luck and nothing really depends on you. With the purchase of crypto currencies, everything is different. Here you can influence your decision and change it depending on the circumstances. You can bought the currency, earned as much as you consider necessary and close the deal. Or if the price of the currency doesn't grow, then you can sold the currency and fixed a small minus. By betting you will not have such opportunities and you win or lose everything.
For example, if you buy Bitcoin, then in a year you will be very happy that you bought it, since its price will increase significantly. This is an example of behavior for lazy or very busy people. You just buy and wait.
If you have a real desire to consistently make money, then start exploring the necessary information for this. Invest money in good currencies and trade them.

I think and hope so.  I only have assumptions based on what I see. Personally, I am now preparing for a bull run. In any case, even if there is no bull run this year, the opportunity to buy Bitcoin at such a price is a very tempting offer, so I will take advantage of it.

Basically it is. In the world of crypto trading, it is very difficult for a beginner to get real profit. My experience, as well as the experience of several of my friends, shows that even being a novice in the crypto market it is possible to make a profit. In my opinion, the mood of a person plays a crucial role. Those who came to the crypto currency in order to get rich quickly, while not doing anything, are doomed to failure. Those who don't make enough effort to become a professional will also lose.
My goal was to become a professional. I didn't want to get everything now, I slowly and confidently went to my goal: to understand how this market works, how to earn money on it and how not to become an average participant of crowd. As a result, I started  to make a small permanent profit. Later I continued to improve my skills.
I hope my experience will help someone to take control of their emotions, learn to think soberly and set the right goals for themselves.

I think that now there is a final wave (I hope that the last one) of intimidation of market participants. In such an environment, many traders lose their nerves and they sell their Bitcoin. Also, many stop-loss work.
I expect that in the near future we will have a great bull run. So we begin to buy, gentlemen

I don't want to offend you, but judging by the post, you will not earn in a crypto world. After all, a person who doesn't find the time and internal forces, in order to become better, is doomed to failure.
If you are still interested in my advice, then I recommend you to forget about bots and trading signals. You have something much better than those fictitious opportunities to make money, you have a mind. Just start learning. Do it right now. Start learning the basics: basic technical analysis, basics of working in the crypto market and read news from the world of crypto currencies. This knowledge will give you the basis and understanding of what to do next.
A bot is just a trading program. And if you don't understand what it should do and how specifically, the bot will make you bankrupt. Trading signals are a simple deception. The creators of such groups thus simply earn money from their members.
If you don't want to be deceived, and become a professional, then learn to trade yourself.

One of the forks will win in this battle, he will become Bitcon Cash. So I don’t think that it is possible to call Bitcoin cash dead, the definition is more suitable - temporarily ill
I hope that this circus (perhaps even staged) with bitcoin cash will end soon and calm will reign in the crypto market

Many of us started trading crypto currencies with their purchase. And we got experience from practice. Of course, gradually, we studied the necessary information and gained knowledge.
To current newcomers would like to recommend doing things a little differently. Now there is a lot of information on different internet resources, which will help in a relatively short time to understand many important aspects about trading on the crypto market. And only after studying the necessary information you need to start buying crypto currencies.
But I don't agree with the statement that it is impossible to make a profit during training. This is possible. If a person carefully studies the necessary information, then he will make a profit when learning. Of course situations are different. There are situations when even experienced traders suffer losses.

As you can see, the price of Bitcoin from the moment of writing the post until today has dropped by about $ 3000. So now is a great time to buy. There is a possibility that the price will fall even lower, but in this situation, I would not recommend waiting for the bottom, since everything can change very quickly. At some point, rapid growth will begin and you just may not have time to buy Bitcoin.

As you can see the price has fallen and is very low. No one expected such a strong fall. But personally, I see this fall as an excellent sign. Now is a great time to buy bitcoin. In the near future, I am waiting for price growth.

Being in your position I would prefer a real business. The answer to this question is simple. The crypto market is very volatile, so here no one will give you guarantees that you can earn. From the moment your post was written down to now (and this is only 8 days), the Bitcoin rate has fallen by $ 1,500 and your theoretical investment would have decreased too. Crypto currency is worth buying for the amount that you are not afraid to lose, otherwise the trade for you can end badly.
But in parallel with the opening of a real business, I would recommend that you study information about crypto currencies. Maybe you have a small amount (which is not needed for starting a business) you can buy yourself some bitcoin / or part of bitcoin. But remember, it should not be the money that you really need to live.
That's when you will receive a regular profit from your business, then you will already have the necessary knowledge and money to start investing in cryptocurrency.

Ensuring cybersecurity is not an easy thing. And of course, for successful work in this direction, exchanges must spend a lot of money. So the first reason that hacker attacks still happen is the unwillingness or lack of ability to pay for cybersecurity.
The second point is that hackers are not simple people, they have a sharp mind, knowledge and understanding that things of what most other people, including professionals, cant even think about.
