It is best to invest 60% in bitcoin and 40% on the ether. To date, this will be the best option.
Bitcoin is the currency number 1, so its prices will continue to grow. Even if we imagine that the crypto market disappears (of course this is not so, we just imagine) the bitcoin price will still rise several times, so there will still be an opportunity to earn.
Ether is by far the best altcoin. While there are no worthy analogs to this platform, so the currency is still very relevant.

At the moment, yes. The most unpleasant thing is that no one knows when this fall will end. If the price reduction continues, then there is a high probability that some of the altcoins will disappear. Many altcoins have already lost 80-90% of their value. Of course it's very unpleasant. I hope that you have several good and promising altcoins that will then recover in value and help you to make up for your losses.

In this market, participation in ICO projects, unfortunately, is a bad idea. In general, if you look, now many ICO projects postpone their sales and this is understandable. Now a very dangerous and unpredictable situation. In winter, spring and early summer of 2018, there was an excellent time to participate in ICO. There were a lot of projects that brought good profits. But now I personally refrain from participating in ICO. I hope that in September the situation will improve, because I would like to take part in several good projects.

Of course, all the money to invest in one coin is too risky. Don't do this if you really want to earn. It is better to invest in a few coins. But if you just conduct an experiment and you just wonder how it ends, then you can try, maybe you'll be lucky.

In my opinion, you have a good portfolio with promising coins. I think that these coins will survive this long fall and when bitcoin starts recovery and growth of its price, these coins will follow it. Of course, if you have the opportunity, add bitcoin (at least some part of it) and eth to your portfolio.

You're like George Martin in his books A Game of Thrones.
Every day people are losing their enthusiasm more and more. I look around, as my comrades who are engaged in crypto currencies become increasingly sad and desperate. I understand that growth will sometime happen, but I completely do not know when. Analyzing the charts, I find several contradicting figures at the same time, which I do not like very much, I do not know what will happen next. Plus, all these ETF commissions add tension.
I'm trying to stay calm and believe in crypto currency, which is what I wish for you!

First of all, I would pay attention to the ETH. This is one of the most worthwhile altcoins, so most of the deposit I would put on the ETH. NEO will certainly grow, it is a coin supported by China (although the platform itself is underdeveloped, but I think it will develop and fix the flaws). EOS is also a worthy investment coin. I would also recommend OMG. An excellent and promising coin, the price of which reacts well when the bitcoin price fluctuates.
I can't say anything good about TRX. I don't invest in this coin now and I don't recommend investing in it to anyone.

Of course hold. I think that now is not the best time to sell the eth. I'm sure that when bitcoin starts to grow, the eth will follow him. So a little patience and you will have the opportunity to sell coins at a more pleasant price. And when there is a next price cut, then don't forget to buy more eth, so that in the future to repeat all the actions, so you will have a constant profit from your savings.

Oh my God, another crypto haters. I think for such as you need to create a separate topic, where you will exchange your arguments with your peer group.
For today, there are no real prerequisites for such a price on the ether. $100 is too low a price, just like the $1000 price for today is too high. Now is an excellent time to buy the ether, as I guess that in the near future we are waiting for the price to rise.

Of course it is important! First of all, we need to assess the situation on the market with the help of technical analysis. This is the only way to trade sensibly. Only having technical analysis can correctly calculate the entry and exit points from the position. Of course, we should not forget about the news. The crypto market is very influenced by news. Especially dangerous are fake news. So you need to trade relying on technical analysis and be sure to take into account all the news of the world of crypto currencies, which can affect the price movement.
Fundamental analysis is important for those engaged in long term trading. But before you buy a coin relying on a fundamental analysis, you still need to choose the right point of purchase. So, for example, if I wanted to buy bitcoin in December 2017 for long term trading, and didn't conduct technical analysis, then now I would feel uncomfortable. And in the future, my profit would be many times less than in a situation where I would rely on technical analysis to choose the correct entry point.

I think that this price is absolutely unreal. I hope that by the end of the year the ether will be about $ 600. This is even taking into account the fact that in September we will be waiting for good news on bitcoin.
And the price of $ 15,000 by the end of the year is more realistic for bitcoin than for ether.

Ripple is not a simple coin. On the one hand it's just a wrapper, which is not used anywhere and nobody needs it. But, on the other hand, ripple has a rich and strong team that can create a HYIP. I think that they will release positive news at the right time and these news will raise the price. Moreover, we should not forget that the ripple still occupies the 3rd position on the coin market cap.

Hey. I think that if you hold all your coins to the present day, then you no longer have any reason to sell them at all. The bear market will not last forever, the time will come when it will begin to recover. Most of us are in the same situation as you. You have good coins, so I think they will recover.
In the meantime, you will wait for self-study. Learn new information about the trading market. Occupy yourself with something useful. If you torture yourself every day with endless experiences, it will end for you badly. Now you can not change anything, so just try to calm down and wait.
And for the future, make a conclusion that you need to invest only the money that you are not afraid to lose.

At first glance, your words make sense. But ... What do you think at what price whales are profitable to sell bitcoin? For $ 4,500-5,000? I think no. I think that maybe we will see a deep bottom around $ 5000, where we will expect a rebound. For whales are profitable to buy at the bottom and their volume purchase at such a low mark, they will give a signal to all that it's time to buy. At this point, the price will start to rise. Whales all the time will provoke people to buy at a higher price and when the price is high enough, whales will sell their bitcoins and the market will fall.

Most likely it will. 6-7 years for crypto currency is a solid term, I think that few will last so long. Of course many coins will go into oblivion. Therefore, we should never forget that shit coins are good for quick earnings, and for a long hold only bitcoin and ether (and several other coins such as litecoin, monero, bnb).

Thanks to the pamp and dump the crypto market is so attractive to many. Thanks to this, many can earn here. And here the question is not in the role of an exchang in all this. It doesn't matter who influences the pamp and dump, it is important that it is present here. If there was no price change, then no one would buy currency, because there would be no point in that.

There are several options. For myself, I see only two.
1. Continue to trade. But it will require a lot of strength and nerves. Trade in the current situation is difficult. If there is an opportunity to sell coins with a small profit, then you need to sell them and buy  bitcoin and ether (or immediately transfer coins to bitcoin and ether) and leave them in hold.
2. Stop trading at all. Let all the coins remain in the hold. While the market is recovering, you can do something else. For example, devote time to self-development and training in trade or just to relax.

Judging by your words for all, there is no point in investing in bitcoin now or in the future. Then I do not understand what you are doing in this market at all.
We do not live in the past, we live now. Each of us starts from the current situation and today the price of bitcoin is quite low.
Your thoughts and words are too pessimistic.
Of course, it was best to buy bitcoin a few years ago, but none of us has the opportunity to return to the past.
In your version now no one should buy bitcoin, since its price is already too high.
I suggest buying bitcoin now, since its price will grow many times in the future.
I'm sure that my option is more reasonable!

Completely agree. Ether is a great coin for hold. Ether is the crypto currency, which is second only to Bitcoin in terms of capitalization. It is a coin, fuel for the network and a means of limiting unscrupulous users, serves as a platform for creating decentralized applications based on smart contracts. Ethereum is of great interest to investors and developers.

Everything is a bit different than you imagine. The situation described by you is typical only for certain situations. Before the price of bitcoin will grow significantly and during the growth of the bitcoin price, the prices for altcoins fall, and when after the growth, the price of bitcoin stabilizes, then the altcoins begin their growth. All the rest of the time, the price of altcoins simply follows the price of bitcoin. The bitcoin grew a little bit - the altcoins grew a bit, bitcoin fell a little - the altcoins fell a little. Although there are different situations and every time we can see something new, but in general everything happens as I described.
