Are you looking for a coin that generates passive income? I highly suggest you do your own research about DIGIWAGE which aims to shape the future of freelancers industry thru their decentralized freelance workplace. They have both master node and POS system that has a daily reward. Their team is very active and supportive with the community as well.

Yes, I still believe that the future of crypto currencies is bright as ever. Even though most of the worthy coins out there that can be utilized in real world are in bearish mode, there will come a time probably within Q4 of 2018 that the world of crypto will bloom. The strategy of holding and accumulating during every dip has already proven to be profitable by being patient and having discipline compared to position trading/day trading.

I don't think that 2018 is a stable year. Crypto currencies in general are in a downward trend but, it could also be the consolidation period in the market just like what happened in previous years and it could just be a strategy for the big players and corporations to buy huge volume discreetly. As for me, I would still continue to accumulate and increase my holdings in my portfolio with various coins which I think will have good future.

In my honest opinion, most of the alts out there are worthless but, there are some with good projects which can be applied in real life that has the potential to progress and be profitable for long term. For example, masternodes and POS coins with good rewards, such as DIGIWAGE that aims to change the online freelance job industry through their decentralized freelance workplace.

There is a somehow passive income style of earning in altcoins via masternode or staking. The reward varies in staking but in masternode it is a bit stable. I would recommend for you to do your own research about DIGIWAGE in particular. Both staking and mastenode gives a decent reward daily and the price is attractive right now. The project of DIGIWAGE is very interesting as well and has unique utilization and application in real world wherein they have the potential to transcend the digital freelance workplace through their platform.

I guess it is somehow true that most of the alts are dependent on BTC. In some countries, there are very limited choices of crypto currencies being adapted, the most popular of all is BTC and they need to transfer it to exchanges abroad in order to exchange to alts of their choice. Maybe, BTC needs another re-tracing to a strong support level of $7k which is a very attractive price to big investors. Always be cautious when trading during this downtrend. It is advisable to do cost averaging method to minimize the risks.

There are no signs on the technical side for crypto currencies in general for it to skyrocket very soon. But, the fundamental aspect, good news are spreading about the adoption of some corporations in realizing the value of crypto currencies in the coming digital age. During this consolidation period in the market, we don't know if they are bagging a lot discreetly and maintaining the illusion for the public that all hope is gone. Let's wait when September ends until the Gox curse have been lifted. Q4 is the most awaited time of the year for another bull run across the cryptoverse.

The most important factor in helping investors who are new in the world of crypto currency is to do his own research and understand how the system works. They must be aware of the risks involved due to the volatility in the market. Visualization of their goals and having the discipline and patience to maintain and modify the strategy accordingly. The golden rule in investing, whether in crypto or stocks, is to Buy Low, Sell High.

The most interesting altcoin is among the top 5 crypto currencies in the market. The most popular being ETH which is next to BTC. If you are seeking for undervalued altcoins with good projects and has a very interesting roadmap, I would recommend you to take some time in researching about GRFT (Universal Payment Processing Network), and DIGIWAGE (Decentralized Freelance Workplace) which is both having a good week long run as of the moment due to their recent achievements.

I am in for both tech and money. Before I invest on some project, I always check and understand how this project could be a good investment for the long run. It should be innovative and has the potential to have an impact in the digital age. For example, DIGIWAGE could shape the online job industry for freelancers, developers, etc. thru their decentralized freelance workplace.

There are some people who fear what they do not understand and crypto currencies needs a deeper understanding and not just the possible profit they could gain from it. Most users are afraid due to negativities that surrounds cyrptoverse as well because there are old school investors who think crypto currencies as a joke and no value. These same people would probably invest in crypto currencies once there's another bull run in the market, just like what happened in Q4 2017.

I think $900 per ETH is indeed a realistic target price by end of year. The fuel that could make its price go beyond the previous ATH is the adoption of merchants, corporations and institutions to utilize the tokens in their businesses, transaction wise. During this consolidation period, they could be bagging lots of ETH discreetly due to its very cheap price. These corporations are visionaries and crypto currencies could help their businesses to run smoothly.

My bet would be on GRFT. A global decentralized payment processing network which aims to enable usage of any crypto currencies at the point of sale. The team is very active in acquiring partnership, with their recent milestone in being certified with VeriFone. The roadmap is interesting and very promising for long term which is unique in its own way.

It depends on the corporations they are partnering with. If the project is applicable in real-world scenario like in GRFT, wherein they have been recently certified with VeriFone, it made a huge impact. Also, marketing is important as well like in DIGIWAGE, wherein the marketing team is very active in advertising their platform for decentralized freelance workplace. These two coins I mentioned are having a very good run for the week and would probably continue despite the bloodbath across the cryptoverse. People will always seek for interesting projects with unique and innovative real-life applications.

The world is getting crazy with crypto currencies because of the hype and popularity it gathered in its entire existence. The profit is very enticing to investors who wanted to get rich quick, but they must understand that it's not always the case. The YOY performance of BTC alone is a whopping 300%+ which could not be compared to any traditional assets. Our world is evolving day by day and in the aspect of technology, having digital and crypto currencies is the new wave for the generation to come.

In the evolving world of crypto currency, you need to explore and do your own research to seek answers for your own questions. Look for good projects that are worth your money which you think can be adopted towards the digital age we're heading. Most likely, you will be encountering scams along the road, but, if you are already aware that anything that is too good to be true are most likely not true, that is a big step towards your own success.

I can say that it is advisable to short ripple now during downtrend until %0.5. support level. If you want to go for long term, wait for a good entry point maybe at around $0.8 which could be pushed through to $1. Despite the recent development and consensus revolving around crypto currencies in general, there are no or minimal indicators for a good entry point yet, maybe institutional buyers are discreetly bagging a lot of coins due to the current cheap prices across all coins. Who knows.

In my opinion, relating to banks and governments, I think GRFT has the potential to be embraced by both parties because of their project as Global Decentralized Payment processing network which eliminates the need to maintain multiple point of sale apps and wallets. I think their project has a long way to go and you could probably profit the most from it for long term.

I think Ethereum will probably hit another bottom price during this consolidation period in the market. We can see it from the chart that before another peak, the price will go down. Possible cause of the sell offs could be due to the big investors who are attracted to ETH at a low price level for them to take profit in long term. They are willing to buy at a support price level of $400-500 per ETH.

The following coins in my portfolio are what I think has the most interesting projects and worth holding for long term:

BUZZCOIN - Open Source Blockchain Non-Profit Implementation, Creating a Sustainable BUZZ in the Bee Farming Sectors.

This coin was popular before because of the high reward system by staking but it was not sustainable. It changed its system for it to be sustainable. The use-case of this coin can help the environment and the roadmap is very promising.

GRFT - Decentralized, Real-time Credit, Debit, and Crypto Payment Processing Network.

The developers and the team has some serious background for this coin to be interesting and their partnership with other businesses and merchants could shape the future of payment processing network.

DIGIWAGE - is a decentralized workplace hub for developers, entrepreneurs, block-chain enthusiasts, startups and resources where each of them find solutions corresponding to their current projects or
kick start new projects. The token ‘Digiwage’ is used in exchange for different services.

It has the potential to change the job industry for freelance workers through its platform. Their team is very active and the community is great. They have lined up some big updates and announcement which could make the price of DIGIWAGE to reach a new height.
