There are no required amount of cryptocurrency or bitcoin to get started with crypto trading, it only depends on how much you can afford. But for newbies like you, it's not preferable for you to start crypto trading without an enough knowledge about on it, because it really takes a lot of risk to those traders who lack of knowledge about it, and this only causes losses to those traders.

If you don't need your money yet and you don't want to lose the half of it, then holding is the best thing that you should do with your investment. Maintaining of your crypto investment despite its subsequent price drop could be so risky, but this is only the most effective way to recover your lost money from investing in crypto, rather than losing the half of it if you sell it now at a cheaper price.

Long term holding is obviously the most effective way compared to daily trading where almost all day traders are losing half of there investment, because of the high volatility of its market that could be so difficult for them to predict what will really happen to its price. And the most victims of the market manipulation of those so called whales are mostly day trader, because of the unpredictable market of cryptocurrency, and long term holders are always safe unless if they are tempted to sell their holdings because of the manipulation of whales in the crypto market.

Choosing a good bounty project really takes time, because you have to make a lot of research first about the project before to start investing, due to the possibility that an ICO might be scam.

I agree with you mate, that real state can be the one that has highest ROI when it comes to investment, and it's obviously more safer than cryptocurrency. But the problem is, not all of us can make this kind of investment, because it really need a huge amount of money, and those rich people can only make this investment. Not just like in cryptocurrency that you don't need a huge amount of money to start investing on it, because even if you only have a small amount of money, you can already start investing on it.

I don't think that altcoins are more better than bitcoin this days, we all know that altcoins are just depending on bitcoins price, including ethereum which is next to bitcoin since then. So if bitcoin price are continuously dropping, as well as altcoins will decrease its price too. But it's still a good choice to invest in altcoins this days, due to the huge price drop in the cryptocurrency market that can give a huge profit to those who invest right now when the market starts to rise again.

There are lots of crypto exchanges that you can use on crypto trading including altcoins. But for newbies like you, you should focus first on learning and gathering more knowledge about cryptocurrency and more specially in crypto trading. Because crypto trading really takes a lot of risk, specially those who lack of knowledge about it, because of the high volatility of its market that could be very difficult to anyone to predict of its price.

So, before you start in crypto trading, just make sure that you'd make a lot of research first, to avoid of losing a lot of money and repent in the end.

Of course I do, and I always do even the market are continuously dropping. But i only recommend bitcoin and ethereum for there first investment, because these two are the most reliable and profitable cryptos i ever know since i started, and I truly believe on the ability of these two cryptos to create a greater value in the future. But of course, I don't recommend to them to invest all of there life saving to this kind of investment, because of the uncertainty that they can really make earnings here by just investing on it.

There are still lots of good bounties here in this forum, and yes, you can participate into signature and social media campaigns on the same time, but make sure that you can manage well of your time, to avoid from removing you from the campaign that you participated. And I have here a link of a thread that might help you on choosing a good bounty project, you can freely visit this thread for more information. Hope it helps you.

I must prefer to trading and participating into different campaigns, i think these two are the best choices on your list. Because, participating into different campaigns doesn't need a capital to make earnings, you just have to accomplish the required number of post, and follow all of their rules to be able to be paid weekly. And when it comes to trading, it really needs capital and some skills on trading, but if you don't have a good trading skills, you can choose long term holding, to lessen the risk.

Honestly, my first impression on bitcoin is almost the same as your friends, i'm also doubtful of the ability of bitcoin and i thought it was a scam. But in my long stay in the forum, I gradually learned about the true value of cryptocurrency and specially in bitcoin. So, we can't blame other people with less knowledge about it to doubt bitcoin, because it's really doubtful in the start.

I think no one can answer you with that mate, we all know how hard is to predict of the cryptocurrency market, specially bitcoin, because of the high volatility of its market value. But always remember this mate, for every drop of its market, there is always a subsequent increase in its price, you just have to wait until this time comes. Just don't lose hope on it.

I think it's nearly impossible for bitcoin to reach that amount with in this year, specially now that it has a very stable price which only around of $6,000 to $7,000 in the past few months until now. But despite of this, i still believe on bitcoins potential to reach that high, but not this year, but perhaps in the next few more years. No one can be sure of it if when it will happen, but i'm sure it will happen in the future.

I am not good in choosing a good and reliable ICO, but i have here a link of a thread that contains of some tips on how to not get scammed investing to an ICO. It might help you to make a good and more safer decisions, you can freely visit this thread for more information, hope it helps you to choose a good ICO to invest in.

The majority of my holdings are in bitcoin and ethereum, so these two are the only cryptos that i am waiting to increase the price to it's newest all time high. And i'm slightly comfortable that these two cryptos will make it in the near future, because of the great potential of these cryptos to make a greater value in the future.

It's absolutely difficult to convince someone to trust immediately with cryptocurrencies, specially bitcoin. Because of those people who accused bitcoin that it's a scam, because they were not able to succeed in their investment, due to lack of knowledge about cryptos. But you can give them some hints and a few ideas on how it really works and how to not get scammed in investing into any cryptocurrencies including bitcoin, that might help them to avoid of losing a lot of money.

If you don't have a good background in trading, specially in crypto trading, i should prefer you to choose long-term holding than in daily trading, and i think you already know how risky is daily trading, specially when you don't have an enough knowledge about on it. So, you should choose the best and more easier to do, like long-term holding.

I think it could be so difficult to someone to predict whales manipulation, because there are no signs of there actions on when they start manipulating the market. But you can use some news sites to follow there actions, because some whales are just depending on the emerging news all over the internet.

I would suggest you to invest in bitcoin and ethereum, these two types of cryptos are the most reliable and profitable among the rest, these are also my favorite crypto since i started here in this crypto world. And besides, these two are also the most recommended by almost all long-term holders here in this forum.
