My country is still not clear upon their stand towards cryptos!

The central bank has banned other banks from facilitating crypto transactions ans thus, every trade in national currency is happening over P2P or OTC market. Some crypto businesses have challenged this stance of the Central bank in the court and the court is still to come up with any verdict.

Yes, I am pretty optimistic when it comes to future of cryptos. Cryptos are the important discovery in financial landscape. They give freedom to people to hodl their own money without any center regulatory body. They have long term future potential and will continue to stay for more time to come. But most of the present currency might die in future because of the lack of utility.

I know you will be at loss on almost all the coins if you invested anywhere near Jan/Dec. But whether selling could be an option as for now will depend upon the type of coin you invested in If it some garbage coin with ever decreasing value and no recovery scope, then it is better to close your trade now. But if it some large cap coin, wait for market to recover.

People predict tons of thing in cryptos. Crypto market is largely been running on speculation and speculations alone are enough to make or break a coin.
There is still a lot of potential left in cryptos. A bull market is waiting around the corner and we will definitely see one in 2018 itself. Regarding 2019-2020, most probably yes, we will see a growth in cryptos. Cryptos aren't yet dead.

If you need to seek advice for selling your coins on forum, I would say sell it and return later when you will actually understand what cryptos and trading are. Since, the inception of Bitcoin, we have seen series of bear and bull cycles, instant pumps and dumps, shit coins and potential coins. People tend to FOMO and panic sell just because of the majority market sentiment. A good trader doesn't listen to noise. don't take investment decisions based on noise. You know which coins you are holding, read about them.

None of the choices available, not even the others, can help you earn altcoins everyday.
What do you mean by everyday? How can you get a constant income from such a volatile and uncertain asset?
It is near to impossible to have a constant source of income in the form of altcoins unless you own a business and you sell your product/service in altcoins (even businesses are not constant).

I can choose the best way to earn altcoins out of these options though. Trading is the best way to make money out of cryptos. Because of the high volatility, you get many short term entry and exit points which helps in making money quickly. But only if you understand TA and FA. It is very important that you understand the asset and its working before putting your money.

Regarding bounties and airdrops, it is more of a luck dependent. Nowadays when ICO are struggling to raise money, how can you expect bounties and airdrops to pay good unless there is a fixed rate.

It is better to decide according to the market.

When there is a period of bearish market, ICO don't do really well. People don't take a risk of investing in a new project as it involves the maximum risk (team failure, project failure, does't get listed etc). So, it is better to wait for exchange listing and then buy if you are a small investor. But if you are a big investor, it is always better to buy during ICO because of supply and there is no uncertainty of exchange listing.

When there is a bullish market period, ICO tokens usually do better when they get listed. Price instantly shoots up or multiply from ICO price. Then, it is better to make investment during ICO period. Be it small or big investor.

There was a time when I used to manage 40-50 twitter campaigns a week. But at that time, most of the twitter campaigns had only retweet/like requirement and there was no obligation for weekly reports. Also, the participants were not this many in number as we see today. People used to get decent money out of twitter bounties provided ICO isn't a scam. But since, managers have started asking reports, there is added work and I have left doing a lot of twitter campaigns. Moreover, the large number of participants make bounty worth nothing in the end.

Airdrops had some value once, but now they are mere the shit tokens that are going to stay in your wallet forever.

Unless the airdops are done by some big exchanges, an already listed and famous coin, hardfork distribution, some swap etc etc, I don't see any benefit of participating in an airdrop. Regarding selling an airdrop coin as soon as getting it, I don't think most get listed. Even if they do, they don't really have a decent value unless you have lots of alts and was able to collect some 50x$5. Otherwise it doesn't make any sense.

Choosing an exchange is solely dependent upon your trade requirements.

Sometimes the coin you wanna trade is listed on a particular exchange, sometimes there is volume on the other exchange, maybe your KYC doesn't go through, so you went with the exchange without KYC requirement, many believe in decentralized exchanges, many want to trade with real money so they either go for P2P or exchanges which accept credit cards etc etc.

All I want to say is we can't tell which exchange to choose. If you are only interested in trading some major pairs like coins in top 10, then go with high volume exchanges like Binance, Bitfinex etc. Whatever exchange you choose, make sure to read its review and check its volume. Before depositing anything, make sure they don't have KYC requirement for withdrawing.

Be safe!

People are way too much optimistic with regards to BTC price going up near December.

But I doubt this prediction.

As everyone is waiting for December to sell, are whales idiot enough to wait till December for taking any market position? They know what is the majority sentiment and they tend to play against that for maximizing their profits. No doubt, that year end bring in more investors as there is holiday period and bonuses, people have excess money to invest. But market is moved by whales and major players.

People tend to suffer in bear market because they don't really take actions in such phase. In bull market, if you have invested in a coin, you don't really have to do anything and price will go up with the market. But in bear, you have to short your positions according to the trends. If you don't do anything, the price will naturally go down leaving no room for profits through shorting.

Only ZIL?
Absolutely not

You have decent amount of money to put in cryptos. Don't do a mistake of putting all in one coin. ZIL is indeed a decent coin. But you are here for the profits. So diversify!
Look at the top 10s, they all are available at such a discounted price. If you believe in ZIL, go 50% in it and put other 50% in 3 different coins of your choice. If you want to take risk, you can try mid cap coins as they can give you more rewards.

Look at

ETH, TRX, BCC, XRP

These all are beaten to death and hovering over their lowest support. Being coins of large marketcap they enjoy users' support which makes them a good investment in long term. you might won't get a better entry point in these coins. Bull period is guaranteed this year, better to fill your bags with right coins and at the right time.

Wait till the price drops to $6800.

$6800 is quite a support if Bitcoin falls below $7k. I think the trend will reverse from that point and hence is the best entry to make in BTC. Right now it is best to go Tether and leave altcoins and BTC unless there is a sign of trend reversal or go for short term trade/day trade. These are the best options when you don't want to take huge risk by longing cryptos.

The traffic on Bitmex has increased tremendously in past few months. This shows that futures are becoming popular among the traders. These future contracts are adversely affecting the market. They result in slower growth because liquidation creates resistance for price to grow the way it did in December. The recent downfall of BTC price is also linked to futures liquidation. You all must have heard the news related to OKex futures.

Bittrex has lost volume past few months, but still can be trusted. All the three are pretty decent exchanges. Adding to that if you are bit more concerned about your tokens, you can on DEX like IDEX. These are decentralized exchanges which never own your coin. But they are too prone to hacks. So, be cautious when it comes to crypto trading.

Best ICO for June-July is with no doubt Evident Proof. Evident Proof is a blockchain and token-based service, Evident Proof turns documents, transactions, and data events into immutable, unhackable proof. They have team of sheer expertise and some big partners. Ranked 4.3 on trackICO. They have good community support as well.

This would be a brilliant pick with a potential project.

When you are deciding about certain period to be profitable or not, look for the charts.

Charts can give you perspective of whether the hold in particular can be profitable or not. If you see weekly or monthly charts that is mid term, you will see a bearish market. But if you look for yearly charts, you would see a parabolic charts with green candles. This means that Bitcoin is bullish in long term.

So, whether long term hodl is profitable or not?
Yes, it pretty much is.

Altcoins are at their bottom. I trade short term, i accumulate in every dip and usually sell when there is a pump. Right now I am in accumulation stage as most of the good and quality coins are at their support. Along with it I do futures trading on Bitmex to take advantage of every market situation. Anyone who isn't able to decide what to do with altcoins right now, start accumulating quality and potential tokens because Q4 is certainly going to be a bullish one regardless of ETF launch which is going to present us with an opportunity to sell at pumped prices.
