First of all, I am not a fan of giving an advice in such topic. I believe you need to figure out the best variant for yourself, but at the same time I can`t help but to share my opinion. I believe Ripple and ETH are two coins everyone should have in their portfolio.

I completely agree with you. At the same time it is almost inevitable with the growing popularity of crypto currencies not to follow the opinion of mass media and popular web-sites. You need to always make your decision based on your beliefs and your intuition.

Of course it can change the industry. I mean, every little thing can potentially change every other thing. It's not 100% impossible, if we're being really pedantic here
As far as crypto goes, it's pretty big right now and it's bound to get even bigger in the near future

I believe Ripple has a very bright future ahead of him. The idea and the team of executioners is just wonderful and very profitable, from my point of view. In a couple of years we will be paying with Ripple and it will be convenient.

This project has it_all going for it – scalability/interoperability/smart contracts/POS/you name it. I see no real reason why it CAN'T become a top-10 altcoin. However, there are many 3rd generation options that posses all the same qualities. Hopefully, ICX is going to be the best of them all.

Of the three projects that you offered, I can only support one, it's Dropil. The website of this project looks promising, and the idea is very promising. Also, it's worth noting that the team is pretty strong.

A controversial situation, if the projects were strong with experienced teams, then why did both these coins fall so much in price? If you invest in these coins, then only for a long time.

You are never late to the party, my friend! As far as ICO and that kind of thing goes, listen, there will always be great projects and…
There will always be awful projects. As a crypto newbie, you need to figure out how to spot a scam ICO as fast as possible…

I support all the claimed coins, except for TRON. I can explain why, because the TRON team forgot about its project, they received money from investors and let everything go in its wake.

I reckon the ability to evaluate coin and altcoins is one of the most crucial. If you always listen to so called “experts” you`ll never grow as a person, as a trader as an investor. In a long-term it is far more useful to learn how to evaluate coins on your own.

Well it is always difficult to know when the best time to sell your coins is and when is the best time to buy one. I believe it is essential to figure out a plan for yourself before investing in anything, think of the time when you want to sell it.

Ah, the first Cardano-based ICO. I remember reading some blog post a few months ago (or maybe a month ago), it was saying something along the lines of this project using Ethereum technology for now. Is that true or am I just misremembering things?

It is not an easy question to answer. There are a lot of factors that make BTC price as high as it is. Among the most important ones are: 1) It is the first cryptocurrency;2) It exists the longest period of time;3) It is the most popular one.

I believe it is a great idea, which is very, very hard to execute in real life(execute perfectly, I mean). I love it for the idealistic views and it being so universal in use. No third member parties, etc.

Great point, from the risk-management point of view BTS and ETH are the most stable ones to this day. On the other hand, if you want to make money now, playing with some low popular coins that might boom is the way to go.

Why would you quit your job? These types of questions surprise me. Don't quit your job unless you have a better offer lined up.
Doing bounty full-time is going to turn into your job and you will stop having fun with, by the way.

Many will not agree with me, but IOTA has lost much of its price, support from investors is
 completely absent. I do not understand why IOTA should grow in the future? It is better to pay attention to more promising coins.

It should be noted that Bitcoin is a digital currency that is subject to a strong and lightning growth, while gold, performs a completely different function in the world.

A lot of the IСO scam began to appear, without the technical part. I am surprised with those investors who buy tokens of such projects, how can one so irresponsibly approach this issue?

Read everything and I liked the game. I will follow this thread. I hope this game will not put network down like cryptokitties. Now there are very few such game projects. The developers have invested a lot in it. So I support the development. People love to play. So I think the project will be in demand.
