If I were you I'd like to buy many low cap coins like Universa, SingularityNet, Bitclave and so on. The first two projects are not listed yet, but they will raise very fast for sure.

To be honest I think that ETH is much more useful than Ripple and it should be more valuable by capitalization. So I hope it will raise to stay #2.

I can't be sure at any bounty campaign until I get paid. To choose a good campaign mostly I rely on a team and hype around the project. Second thing is the discount. I try to avoid projects with 50%+ of discount even at presale.

Just get away from trading! It's not easy thing as many people think. At this market you can just use BUY&HOLD strategy to get profit

What is the difference between choosing an exchange for a newbie or an experienced trader? In any case, you must trade on the most reliable and secure exchanges. As for me the most reliable exchange is Binance atm.

If bitcoin becomes as fast as before no one altcoin will surpass it. Now bitcoin holds the first place only because he is trusted by many people. 2 MB blocks (maybe more) are very needed now.

I do not have confidence in BCH. Now the price is very much pumped up and it can fall at any moment. I'm not ready to take so much risk and keep this coin anymore.

We can make as many forecasts as possible, but the price of the coin does not depend on our opinion. This coin is not as decentralized as we want. And many guess that the price of a coin depends only on its inventors. But it seems to me that they are planning to make this coin very valuable.

It seems to me that this will never happen. BCC is a speculative coin. Its price is regulated by the market makers and the founder so they can dump&pump it at any time if they need. I hope I'm wrong...

Yes, I check the price of my folio every day. As a trader I always need to be in touch with the market to get all the opportunities on time.

Use hardware wallets like Ledger Nano S or Trezor to keep your crypto safely. I can't recommend to use any other not-hardware wallet like exodus or jaxx just because it's not safe enough. But if you will use them export private keys to the safe encrypted place.

All your picks are very good. I'd like to add Gifto, Cindicator and Nebulas to your list. They have a lot of releases at Q1 2018 which could be causes of their pumps.

Spending your time at signature campaign is just like investing your time and effort in some project. When I chose a bounty campaign I'm always make a lot of reseaches, which takes a lot of time. If you want to reduce the time of research try to use some ICO trackers with the rating system like icobench or icodrops.

There is no real privacy coins except Monero for me. Of course there are a lot of projects which claim that they are the best in privacy... Recently I knew about sumocoin. It's a Monero fork. I didn't make any research about it yet, so you can check it out.

I like Stellar and regret that I didn't buy more while the price was around $0.02. Moreover my intuition told me to buy more, but I didn't listen and now I have only 2% of my deposit in XLM.

It looks like many ICO projects are in suspend mode at the moment. I wait for the end of January. There should appear a real good projects like Medicalchain.

I suppose that ICOs in 2018 will move to a new level. The amount of project will be reduced, but the quality should be improved for sure. Moreover I guess that in 2018 ETH will share the place of the top ICO platform with NEM, NEO and other projects.

If you want to invest in the project that will actualy be in top-10 in a year or two you need to check out comsa project. It's the japanese platform for ICO conduction for already succeed japanese and worldwide business like Boeing, Mitsubishi, Samsung and so on.

I think that this kind of pumps is very pathetic for such a experienced person as John McAfee. Frankly I don't like him since he started this sh*t.

I guess he meant not the correctness of the address, but the amount of funds at hitBTC's wallet. Perhaps they don't have enough at the moment? You can check it at chainradar.com.
