Eth is better. Aside from the fact that its technology is so awesome there are still lots of applications that this technology can offer in the future. Neo is also one of the promising altcoin but compared to Eth its 2nd to bitcoin as the most important cryptocurrency. You can invest 70% of your portfolio to Eth and the rest to other altcoins you desire most. In this way at least diversify some of your investments. We can't really predict what will happen to those altcoins that you invested in right now. So better stick with them so that you won't have any regrets when those altcoins skyrocket in value. Happy hodling and have a good one!

If you want to increase your coins through trading then I'd suggest you store it in an exchange but also bear in mind that there's a high risk that an exchange will be closed or bankrupt anytime or it can be hacked just like other exchanges (Mt. Gox, Bitrail).

If your just plainly storing your coins for as long term investment then the best thing to store your coins is through a hardware wallet. Right now I'm using Ledger Nano and its very user friendly and secure as well.

Here is a link that can help you decide on which hardware wallet that you want to use in the future if you prefer to use one. https://coinsutra.com/best-hardware-wallet-bitcoin/


I agree with you. It really depends on what are we trying to do with our coins whether trade it or just leave it stored for years. Sometimes when the market is on green train we tend to like want to trade and play with our coins to get some profits.

Everything you need to learn is in this forum. There are lots of threads in here that can help you become a very good trader. Trading is not that easy. You should be fully equipped with the knowledge and techniques for you to profit. Never engage into battle with less ammos. Keep researching and study the market trends day in and day out for you to understand fully the trend of the market. Cryptos is very volatile so you should be careful with your money when it comes to trading. Now that the market is skyrocketting you should make profit today and ride those greens.

I highly suggest that you get a personal mentor with regards to trading in the market. It can be your friend or you can follow someone or some tutorials in youtube that can help you learn the basics when it comes to trading. Goodluck with this endeavor hope that you can recover the loss.

Haven't heard or read any good news about bitcoin but I guess this is the moment that we've all been waiting for the skyrocketing of almost all of the cryptos. This is the time where we can profit more. We just have to enjoy the ride with all those greens but also becareful maybe its just a trap. We can't really tell when will this pump stops.
I concur. Bitcoin has already proven its worth long term. We can see it from previous years. During first quarter there was too much bloodbath to almost all of the cryptos. This is a very good sign cryptos skyrocketing while where still in 2nd quarter of this year. Hopefully the predictions that were set for bitcoin by the end of this year will be met which is $50k. We can't really tell what lies ahead but lets just be all positive and enjoy those greens.

Happy hodling everyone and have a great day ahead! Enjoy the greens!  

This is not worth the risk. As we all know mining using your phone could potentially damage your mobile device. It's not really worth it. I haven't tried it and won't be trying it cos I know the outcome of what will happen to my device if I mine these coins with my phone.


Thanks for this very clear explanation. I might try to test it myself in the future. As long as my phone won't overheat and I'm cool with it. Can't risk breaking my device just to get small amount of these coins but maybe experiencing it myself will make me change my mind with regards to mobile mining. I know its not really profitable but I just want to experience it myself.

I really feel bad about the investors. I myself purchased some of these coins luckily was able to change my mind and converted it all into btc. This coin started out great and my condolences to all the investors that really risked their money, time and effort in supporting this project. Hope that the investors can atleast get some of their losses.
This is a very good move so that people who are planning to do a fake ICO in the future will be alarmed. The government should be vigilant hunting down these people who take advantage of the current trend with regards to ICOs.


I guess he was just used to promote it. I doubt that he even invested with this project. Mayweather is a very intelligent man specially when money is involve. I guess he doesn't know anything about this project being a scam.

We should all be careful nowadays with all these scamming ICOs eradicating all over the cryptoworld. Those guys behind this scheme are CON experts.

It's never too late when it comes to investing in cryptocurrency. There are still lots of promising coins available in the market. Don't worry because by the end of this year 2018 almost all of the cryptos will have a high value. You can still invest in Bitcoin, Eth, STEEM, or any other altcoins that you find promising. You need to do some research of your own as well so that you will have faith in the cryptocurrency that you wanted to invest your money in.


I agree with this. You should not regret since its never too late to invest into any other investment vehicle. There are still lots of projects or innovations to invest in.


The market in cryptos is  very volatile. No one can really tell whether this pump will continue. Sometimes bloodbath is very unpredictable when it comes to cryptos. But I agree with you that the market won't wait for anyone so its really never too late to invest your money into cryptos.

Bitcoin's value depends on the acceptance of the people of the cryptocurrency. If there are lots of people buying than selling their bitcoins then its price would surely go up. Hodlers played vital role in bitcoin's value. They are long term investors that are fond of holding very good amount or huge amount of bitcoins whatever it takes for they do believe in the technology behind it and they can surely profit from it long term.

The sudden dip of bitcoin is caused by some hodlers selling huge amounts of bitcoins cos of some issues regarding the regulation of bitcoin by the government. Some countries even ban bitcoin.

There's a limit of 21M bitcoins that we could mine until its impossible to acquire, this is one reason why bitcoin's value is increasing due to mining difficulty and the scarcity of the coin in the future. The law of supply and demand plays a vital role when it comes to increasing price of bitcoin that is why bitcoin is one of the best store of value just like gold.

I concur. Every decision that has an uncertain outcome involves risks. When it comes to investments or gambling high risk always pays out high rewards. Low risk or no risk at all has low rewards or no rewards at all. In everything that we invest in whether it is time, money or love it involves certain risks. The best thing to do is for us to manage those risks for us not to lose much when worst case scenario will come our way.

Always invest an amount of money that you can always afford to lose. Never lend money so that you can gamble it with crypto that's a bad investment since crypto values are very volatile and no one can predict its ups and downs.

Positivity will change a persons life and the outcomes of everything that he will do so let's all be optimistic in all our investments while doing risk management as well.
We are moving forward into a digital future, so cryptocurrency will definitely change our lives for the better financially and economically.

No one can really predict the future of the market when it comes to cryptocurrencies since its value is very volatile. There's too much bloodbath lately of all cryptos specially bitcoin which is the father of all cryptos. We don't have to worry because the market will always correct itself of all the prices for each coins. We just have to be patient enough to wait for our investments to profit.

There are lots of predictions that by the end of the year almost all cryptos will increase its value. Let's just hodl what we have and wait for the best to come. Always look at the bright side and together we'll achieve the profit that we always dreamed of.

Happy hodling everyone and have a good one!

No one could really tell since bitcoin's value is very volatile. If you try to study the trend of bitcoin from last year I guess there's a very huge potential that its value will increase up until the end of the year 2018. Now is the best time to purchase and hodl lots of bitcoin for huge profits by the end of 2018. I know its vague when it comes to predictions but I guess history will repeat itself. Bitcoin has already proven its worth as a store of value for the past few years of existence.

With so much FUD and lots of events happening with regards to bitcoin being banned by some countries still bitcoin remained strong because of the great support coming from us bitcoin enthusiasts and this forum.

Kudos to all of the developers and hodlers that didn't tilt despite the ups and downs of bitcoin's value for their continued support and development of this awesome technology. We'll just sit back and relax and wait what the future of bitcoin will bring.

Bitcoin is the best pick. Bitcoin already proven its worth and right now is the best store of value among all other cryptos. Now is the best time to purchase bitcoin since its value is low and keep it for a year or two. Long term investment is best for bitcoin cos bitcoin supply has a limit and whether we like it or not its value will really go up after few years from now. I have also bumped into an article predicting that bitcoin will reach $50k this year. https://smartereum.com/2404/bitcoin-price-prediction-2018-can-cryptocurrency-hit-50000-mon-apr-9/

I know this sounds vague but given the trend of the market when it comes to bitcoin's value its very much possible that it will reach this certain prediction which is $50k. Just always remember that bitcoin's value is very volatile it can make you profit or can make you go broke so always invest an amount that you can afford to lose. Let's just all hope and see what the future of bitcoin can offer us.

Happy hodling everyone and have a good one!

This is really helpful to new investors coming in here. I would like to add some pointers as well to make an effective investment so that you can profit.

If you're a beginner when it comes to investments always seek guidance from a mentor that has proven his success when it comes to investments. There are lots of people that you can follow through social media and try to interact or join groups that do have the same goals as what you do. Always invest into something that interests you most so that you will have fun and as well be eager to seek more knowledge with the product or project and last but not the least always have a goal on which amount of profit that you're trying to hit or reach. Setting goals will help you capitalize your time and resources.

Altcoins is a term used to call other cryptocurrency which is not bitcoin. There are two type of altcoins, the major and minor altcoins. Major altcoins are the one's with higher market capitalization just like eth and ripple. Each coin has different uses aside from trading it. These altcoins where made to correct what bitcoin innovation can't offer. Right now bitcoin is more of a store of value than a cryptocurrency.

Here are some altcoins and its uses:

             Dash (DASH) is an open sourced, privacy-centric digital currency with instant transactions.  It allows you to keep your finances private as you make transactions without waits, similar to cash.

             Litecoin is a peer-to-peer Internet currency that enables instant, near-zero cost payments to anyone in the world. Litecoin is an open source, global payment network that is fully decentralized without any central authorities.

             Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third party interference.

I think ICO will still continue to exist even after 2 years or 2020. There are lots of benefits that an ICO can provide both the devs behind it and the people investing in it. As we all know ICO or Initial Coin Offering is a great way to raise funds for developments of the new project that they are trying to promote or launch to the public. This is also one way of letting people be involve in their project to get their name out and be adopted to society easily.

In the investors part ICO is a very big help as well if you want to increase your money or get some profit from your investments through buying shares from the company doing the ICO. I know there are lots of scam ICOs but with the proper research and knowing the foundation or the big people backing up the project there's a better chance that you can profit if the ICO that you participated in will be successful.

Here's an article that will help you tell or detect if an ICO is a scam. https://techcrunch.com/2017/12/07/6-red-flags-of-an-ico-scam/
 

We all know that cryptocurrency values are very volatile. No one in this forum can really tell or predict what will happen in the future with regards to cryptocurrency values but if you'll have more knowledge about Ethereum and believe in its technology then go hodl till it reach a value where in you think you can already profit. I have bumped into an article speculating that Ethereum's value will triple this year 2018. https://smartereum.com/2279/ethereum-price-predictions-2018-cryptocurrencys-value-triple-high-can-price-ethereum-go-2018-sun-apr-8/

I know its really hard to speculate but Ethereum has a very bright future because of its awesome technology and there are still lots of applications that can be run using the Ethereum platform. Lets just wait and see what the future will bring about Ethereum's value. So I highly suggest for you to hold your Ethereum.

We are not talking about bad trade in here. Bitgrail got hacked and the owner is very much willing to cooperate to bring back the hacked NANO and its not just a very small amount of money that we are talking about. If there's anything that can be done on the side of NANO team that could help the situation then why not do it? That is why there's a lawsuit against them for not cooperating with the situation. I guess lawyers from Bitgrail are not dumb enough to file a case and spend some money just to lose it. NANO team should have also consider that its not a small amount of money and lots of people's money are involve in here. You can't just say that NANO team has no blunders. Sometimes doing nothing to help out is already a blunder.

Possibly this is the death of NANO if they lose the case. There were blunders made on both sides. On the part of NANO team they let their investors use wallets from Bitgrail instead of a hard wallet for security. On Bitgrail's part their security as well is not that tight when it comes to this kinds of issues regarding online theft or hacks.

I know that they are blaming each other when this issue happened. I just don't understand why not do the best remedy (Hard Fork) on the NANO team to regain their loss so that investors will get back all their stolen NANOs. We really don't know the reason behind this scenario, hoping there's no sabotage happening during that time.

It would be nice if investors will be refunded from their lost NANOs. We just have to wait for the final verdict of the case between Bitgrail and the NANO team.

ICO stands for Initial Coin Offering. An unregulated means by which funds are raised for a new cryptocurrency venture. An Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is used by startups to bypass the rigorous and regulated capital-raising process required by venture capitalists or banks. In an ICO campaign, a percentage of the cryptocurrency is sold to early backers of the project in exchange for legal tender or other cryptocurrencies, but usually for Bitcoin. Here's a link if you want to understand more about ICO.
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/initial-coin-offering-ico.asp

ICOs can make you profit and could also lose your investment. It takes a lot of courage and research if you want to invest in ICO. You should know the people behind it and what it can offer to the public but still there's no assurance that it will succeed.

If you're looking for a long term investment I highly suggest that you better just hold your Ethereum since it is one of the most promising innovations when it comes to cryptocurrencies so no doubt that it's value will increase in the near future. I'v bumped into an article saying that Ethereum's value could triple this year. Here's the link https://smartereum.com/2279/ethereum-price-predictions-2018-cryptocurrencys-value-triple-high-can-price-ethereum-go-2018-sat-apr-7/

Goodluck with your investments and happy hodling!
