This market is rather young to fie so fast. Not everyone has played enough, and not all have been squeezed out of it. I think there will be tougher measures and no more, and the ICO market will gain momentum. Definitely not in 2018

If, after research and study, it was decided that these coins are suitable and cause confidence, then it is possible to split the asset and invest both in both of them.
Personally, I sympathize with the EOS, about the ether is sung mass of dithyrambs and for the long term there are practically no questions.

Ethereum will certainly be an unmistakable choice for long term. Just because of its enormous potential and future prospects. ETH price shows a steady desire for growth, the platform's relevance is supported by numerous partners and investors. Ethereum does not stop and finds the potential for further expansion.

Litecoin certainly has advantages, both as technology and as a cryptocurrency. As for investments, it's definitely not worth investing all the money in Litecoin. In my preferences, Litecoin is losing popularity.

In my opinion, there is no definite amount. For one $500K is small, but for someone, and $500 suits. Everything depends on your ambitions and desires. Well, and an adequate understanding of risks.

If there is no desire to invest in ICO, then the best option is to wait until the coin will be listing on an exchange (if it succeeded, it would happen) preferably on a good exchange, with good trading volumes. Then wait for the decline in prices, and buy. And there already to see how good the project and the coin itself, for this, of course, it is necessary to analyze project carefully.
This is for example.

Look among top 20.
To my opinion
1. ETH
2. NEO
3. ADA
4. EOS
5. XMR

All these preferences mostly individual, study and analyze the market.

In tend of the crypto-currencies popularization it's normal, and the increased number of participants in bounty campaigns too. And holders of these campaigns do not want or can not increase the pool. You are talking about five months ago, and someone these five months ago said that a year ago it was perfect and the profit was awesome. The more participants involved, the harder it becomes to earn money.

Bitcoin is primarily a functional financial tool with anonymity elements and decentralization. But Ethereum is a platform for creating decentralized programs and applications on blockchain. Smart contracts underlying the network are universal. In Bitcoin, a smart contract guarantees only the conduct of payment transactions. And in Ethereum they can be used in various areas. And in view of these differences are very difficult to compare. Overall, Bitcoin is better at coping with the functions of the payment facility. If you need a cryptocurrency to buy or hold, the BTC will be better with Ether. It takes more sites, and the status of "king".

Ethereum blockchain with smart contracts is the prospect that makes ETH attractive for investment. The future will show how powerful the platform will become. Developers are very attentive to the coin itself and not gonna to throw it without support. So ETH definitely will give good profit in longterm

The community gives a good idea of the project and review. As far as the project is interesting and financially attractive, but it is not always. Recognize the latest news, for example about the scams, etc. It's also a good promotion and marketing for the project.

Competition as a blockchain - not. They have different directions. Bitcoin - for transactions. The Ethereum seeks to become a kind of super computer. As a cryptocurrency - most likely not, bitcoin is more popular, it is more preferable as a cryptocurrency asset, referring to its value and stability. But, ether has a huge potential.

The simplest explanation is a hype. At first it seems that you will earn and do nothing, but this is a mistake. So much to learn. I doubt that those who sold all the property earned a lot.

As for me, my preference list is:
1) ETH
2) NEO
3) EOS
4) ADA
5) Monero
6) IOTA

All of them will be good for long term, maybe not as forget for many years, like BTC.

Yes, with all this was the situation, most likely. I will support the majority opinion about selling by parts, but not the whole asset. And do not get hung up on the situation, but draw conclusions.

Keep all the money in the cryptocurrency is not the best idea, as well as keep all the money either in bitcoin or in altcoins. If longterm strategy has chosen, it's ideal to split the asset 50/50.

2018 will be for the Chinese ETH the time of plan realization. NEO emerges from the shadow, allowing the world public to appreciate all its advantages. Since the cryptocurrency really has significant advantages, and developers are actively promoting it up the "career ladder", we can safely assume that next year will be a triumph. The coin clearly has excellent prospects, within the longterm.

Manager, team, product, conditions, fund - if all these criteria are agreed, then the choice in favor of the campaign.

Analyze the market and your asset. Otherwise, it's not possible. And so the scheme is very simple, drop-hold, pump-sell. This is of course very abstractly speaking, the main thing is not to panic and study the subject matter.

It all depends on your residence country. Even if there are no laws regulating cryptocurrency, that is, a tax on citizens' income, this is in case of transfer to Fiat. Further, everything also depends on the country, for example, in my country, I can not pay taxes from such operations
