it depends how much investment you are ready to invest in mining.
I prefer one of top 10 altcoins

the cap is every day closer to btc bubble, maybe it might be in 2018, so nobody knows what exacly will be

maybe almost every cryptocurrency have been promised. The most is Btc and than every next that is behind BTC cap, and every ICO that comes in future 

I prefer OMG than REQ. But you make good choise. GJ 

for long term absolutly, it might go up to 1000 dollars in 2018, but i am also BTC fan cuz it is much bigger hype than ETH but i love eth b/c  they have great technology and slow growth.

defenetly top 10 cryptocurrencyes and some altcoins that have great support with interesting patents or with make profit sistems

First read about blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies;
what is blockchain?
what is Bitcoin?
what are altcoins and shitcoins?
what is ICO?
What are crypto scams?
Cripto BTC wallets and other crypto wallets, and learn about how to use all these things step by step

it is funny that fees closing door to buying btc. It is easy to make easy money and is the strongest currency that has first step into future tech

it is important to have 2FA for second security. I prefer to take google auth, but even if you have it, be carefull with everything

for batter regulation there is government to improve better regulation, but fees are gonna be bigger, and taxes are on the way
For example, Coindesk has no words to make step against USA IRS first steps to us

One of the next might be IOTA. Folow them, they are on good path

brokers needs to feed yourself, but for now fees are nor that high

Wait for the government regulation.
IRA are making their first step

With 10 000 I recommend you to choose two to three cryptocurencies, and take a close aye on them. In the evening make a good analyze, to know what move could made next day.

If you don"t want to trade them, better to put your money in cryptos that have more bigger volume.
For example I would buy only ETH or NEO ( if you want to buy only one),  ETH and NEO (try both), or one more altcoin that is only at beggining (ICO)

Better is to try some FX courses, what might stabilized you much more than only reading. But stay also behind book! The most important in crypto world is that you should know how to trade Forex than Crypto.. After finishing these courses, you should make next step by trying your theory in practise.

If you are interesting in Forex strategies and point that will make you profit, chat me back.

Yes that"s right. Nobody knows the future. Some said this gonna be fail, cuz it"s just a bubble, but thats almost normal in this system like in FX. I think that is open source in new tehnology and some people will miss the opportunity making easy money. On the other hand, many altcoins are gonna fail and many of people will lose a lot of money and trust.

Others altcoins are trying the same way, like BTC and ETH cuz it would be much easier to withdraw/deposit in Fiat currency translate tokens directly to altcoin. But fees are gonna be much bigger as you make transaction with BTC and ETH.

Listen me and do not trade cryptocurency if you do not know nothing about FX trading. First FX, than crypto - my opinion. You might lose your money if you will start trading cryptos. FX is much easier to start cuz of the much bigger volume.. everyone wants to earn easy money, and many of them lost it. Better would be for you to put your own money in crypto on holding and forget about it for long time.

ICOs are not known as scam at all. It is true that some of them have been scammers. The problem is that 95% ICOs will be screw up in the future cuz there are too many of them.

I recommend you to invest in NEO, ENJIN , VIBERATE, CINDICATOR.. cuz they are extremly turning point on long term holding and it is worth to trust, no matter if there are few falls. If you are playing on long term, start reading about their future.
