It is way much better to have few alternative coins rather than having shit tons of alt coins. Select some good legit alt coins that are undervalued and has potential and spread your investment among those. Spreading your investment helps you to reduce your risk and sometimes balances out your profit and loss.

It is all up to you right now. You invested, you decide what to do. Follow your own instinct. Do you think the price of the coins you invested on is going to recover and start rising again? If yes, just hold and don't panic. But do you think the price won't be going up anymore and is now on the price it should be? Then sell your investment and start investing on other coins that have potential, else you will be missing out the opportunity.

Bitcoin and most other crypto currency works using Peer to peer protocol just like how torrents work. Every user has its data and shares it through out the world. No one controls it and is totally decentralized. Even though the government is trying hard to stop piracy by taking down torrent sites, do you think they are being successful? They take it down, and then the site goes back up again in few days. Now compare and think about bitcoin in the same way as torrents.

I am pretty sure most of the people over here are in just for the quick profits they can make, not for the features provided by bitcoin. That is why you will keep on seeing people nagging about the price when it starts to drop. Little do they know that, if they start using it for buy regular stuffs, the price itself will start to go up since more people will start adopting bitcoin.

Maybe you haven't learned a lot about bitcoins and other crypto currencies. If you did actually learn something you would never have asked this question. The price are unpredictable. If you are willing to take a risk, then go ahead invest as much as you can. Try investing on variety of legit coins which has potential. You might end up making good profit.

It is indeed on its infant stage, but unfortunately it is not being received kindly by the government and different financial institution such as the bank. They look at crypto currency as a threat to them and wants to destroy it during its infant stage.

Leave something that has certain future and won't collapse anytime. The price of bitcoin is unpredictable. You never know what is going to happen to crypto currencies, so there is no guaranteed future about it. Why risk your children's life? Best to save fiat which is totally risk free!

It not just Japan. Many other government for different countries are trying to suppress the trade of bitcoin and other crypto currencies by impose strict laws and regulations. Policies are being used to limit the trade of crypto currencies. China is now blocking access to sites related to crypto currency trading. All these are causing troubles to crypto currency, hence the price is falling.

Right now all i am seeing that we are going down and down in terms of bitcoin price but not popularity. Crypto-currencies gained a lot of attention in recent years . Fears of regulation is what bought the price of bitcoin along with other alt coins down. Right now the government are being more strict than ever.

Never heard anyone paying their employee in Bitcoin anywhere expect when doing jobs online. This is because its starts to conflict with different laws when paying in bitcoin in professional jobs. The price of bitcoin fluctuates a lot and can the fluctuation might cause the price to go low which might make the payment go under minimum wage.
You best bet is to get paid in fiat and buy bitcoins with it.

The Chinese have a huge market and plays an important role in case of the price of bitcoins and other crypto currencies. The government right now is kinda being very harsh on those who use crypto currencies. They are imposing strict regulations like blocking websites that allow users to trade bitcoin or join ICOs. They are not anti crypto currency or anything since they are also doing trials of making their own crypto currency. Now if the government starts being normal or does anything that will affect crypto currencies positively we will see a huge price rise for which others keep a close eye on China.

You can always use bitcointalk to keep yourself updated with latest news. People will eventually post about them and you can get different opinion from different users.

Heard that binance faced some issues recently and some shit coin got pumped up around x1000 due to some error or something. Not sure. Just go through the forums and you might find it. Bittrex is fine too, but binance has higher withdrawal limit for unverified user. But do keep in mind that none of the exchanges are safe to store huge amount of coins for a long term.

Yeah, holding altcoins actually have higher risk  than holding bitcoin. The price of altcoin fluctuates more thus increases the risk of losing money (or creates a way to make some quick profit, if you know what you are doing) when the price drops. Moreover the altcoin market is more saturated, new coins become a competition for older coins thus the older coins starts to die.

How did you make those prediction? Based on what? You can't just go screaming around saying that the price of bitcoin will fall at the end of 2018 or say that the price will be higher after one or two years. The price fluctuates a lot and the prices are actually unpredictable. Whatever you do is filled with risks.

Depends. If you invested on some shitcoins whose price went  up during a hype significantly and has now dropped, then your best shot is to get out and sell your coins as soon as possible to minimize your loss. If its a coin with good potential, then you can expect the price to recover anytime soon.

You should know by now that prices of crypto currencies are not stable. The prices don't need any reason to fall down or go up within a given time. Events that causes price rise or drop lasts for a long term. But unusual drops are temporary and usually recovers within a short period of time.

All crypto currencies which are not Bitcoin is considered Altcoins. Here Alt stands for Alternative. So they are alternative to bitcoins. Each alternative coins have different features and distinct from other coins.

Dude, sometimes you will have to let go your profit and suffer some loss. Or else you will be missing the opportunity of making profit from some other coins. You might make loss, but you can eventually recover it by buying different coins which has potential and is under valued. You just have to take the risk. Thats it!

Don't you think the upper limit you stated is kind of exaggerated? $10,000 USD in three months, which is around $3,350 USD per month is kinda unbelievable. This is what an average american with a good job earns per month working full time. You need to be extremely lucky to earn this much.
