I'm sure that ETH will grow and reach its highs in 2017, but I think that strong growth wouldn't happen until September-October 2018. Now for April-May, the price will increase by 20-30%, but no more. The real strong Ethereum's uptrend will begin in September and October this year.

I invest in ripple, stellar, dash, iost... First of all, I want to warn that you need an extensive experience to trade on short-term; otherwise, you will just lose your money. Only long-term investments can be suitable for people with little experience.

I think that the ripple will already reach $ 1 shortly, at the end of April. I do not know if this coin could exceed the previous year's record of 3.1, but I'm 100% sure, that price will be above $ 1 in 10-15 days. The market already has started to increase good, and the ripple would be among the leaders.

Вопрос сейчас уже достаточно спорный. Биткеш уже достаточно неплохо себя зарекомендовал, быстрые переводы, комиссии копеечные. Наведут порядок с майнингом и будет нормальная монета, биток конечно он не вытеснит., но свое место тоже никому отдаст.. Вполне нормальный альт, для работы пойдет..

I can't say that cryptocurrency groups of pumps & dumps harm their reputation. There is nothing illegal, and they use their money to raise or to drop the price. Another matter that the newcomers in these groups can lose because only those who are at the top are winners.

Yes, the real bullish trend began only in April; before that, it was strong volatility in the market and at the same time no impulse for a good uptrend. Now there is enough positive news for altcoins and bitcoin, which boosted growth, and I think BTC will exceed 9000 soon.

You can't compare of bitcoin’s and even altcoins’ growth with real estate or the stock market. especially you can start investing in altcoins at least from $ 50, but you need at least it is $ 10,000, or more precisely 100,000 to invest in real estate or the stock market. And all assets have risks of loss.

Вы не донца прочитали условия работы. Вы за эфир покупаете токены фонда через смарт контракт, эти средства вкладываются в один из ПОРТФЕЛЕЙ, который вы выберете. А вот сам портфель состоит из сбалансированного количества разных криптовалют которые были перечислены. По мере работы портфеля ваши токены растут и когда вы хотите их обналичить смарт контракт переводит ваши токены обратно в эфир который выводит вам на кошелек за минусом комиссии фонда..Кошелек эфира оригинальный, не биржевой, например myeterwallet..

Well, that's the good news that was expected. At first, all large companies negatively belonged to bitcoin and all cryptocurrencies, then slowly the attitude began to change and now the largest banks, and after them, card operators started to use distributed technology for their purposes.

The most important thing that if Korea wouldn't exaggerate with all these regulations. They already proposed minimum deposit for crypto exchanges, which must be necessary for their work. This will close the way for the emergence of new exchanges  immediately because several million dollars is quite a big amount for a startup.

Lokal Bitcoins - that's not ATM, not BTM - that'ss a p2p direct exchange market for cryptocurrency with an ecrow service. Basically, it's not a problem to leave your data on this service, but they haven't this kind of requirements before; and that's not okay to leave your data on all sites.

Биткоин вернулся к $ 8 250, Эфириум растет благодаря токенам ERC20

Альтернативные криптовалюты и Эфириум превосходят биткоин за последние 24 часа, наиболее доминирующую криптовалюту на рынке за последние две недели. Капитализация криптовалютного рынка восстановилась до 346 миллиардов долларов, приблизившись к рубежу в 400 миллиардов долларов.

Сезон Aльткоинов
В периоды крайней волатильности и неопределенности инвесторы склоняются к активу или криптовалютам с самой высокой ликвидностью и стабильностью. Последовавшие два сильных провала рынка в январе и феврале, которые снизили капитализацию рынка криптовалют от 816 $ млрд до $ 240 млрд, заставили инвесторов перейти на Биткоин в качестве безопасного убежища активов и, как следствие, Биткоин последовательно обогнал альткоины в начале 2018 года..https://bit.news/analitika/bitkoin-vernulsya-k-8-250-efirium-rastet-blagodarya-tokenam-erc20

Они чувствуют себя не так плохо, как те кто купил по 1100 в декабре 2013, и ждал 4 года прежде чем биткоин опять поднялся до 1200, ну а затем до 20 000. Цена превысит 20 в этом году, но конечно таких резких взлетов как в 2017 не будет....ну подождем до декабря 2018 года..

Индийская биржа подала в суд на Центральный банк страны

Криптовалютное сообщество Индии продолжает бороться за свои права свободно работать в стране, как и в любой другой отрасли. Последним проявлением неповиновения является обращение операторами местной биржи в суд против действий Резервного банка Индии.

No doubt, 2018 going to be much more stable than the previous 2017. Most likely the market wouldn't get last year's highs, and we wouldn't see a sharp rise of cryptocurrency market. We definitely will see the good growth and new highs, but we wouldn't see the increase in 20-30 times.

In any case, the best way of investments - long-term investments, at least a year. You need to choose the right and reliable cryptocurrency with good prospects. Short-term investments are ok, but only for very experienced traders who work with cryptocurrencies for more than one year.

The best coins in 2018 - coins involved in serious projects and with high capitalization and. Except for the traditional coins, I would say that these coins are perspective: Tron, ADA, NEO, Nem, and the new one perspective coin IOST - a very promising coin with great growth potential for 2018-2019.

Undoubtedly, McAfee is a great authority in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, but too many projects start to use his name recently. I suppose it's not that simple as different media tell us. Let's see what is going to happen, but I'm sure that 90% of the projects aren't related to McAfee.
