It's a good idea, but i wouldn't waste my bitcoin to buy a packet of crisps! That's what spare coins in your pocket are for. I like the idea of vending machines accepting a few currencies, but it should be for bigger items. Interesting to see if they can make a profit on those

It largely depends on the project and where it is listed. Some only end up on the smaller exchanges with low volume so it will take a long time to get gains from those especially if there was an airdrop campaign which often gets dumped immediately. If the project has long term interests, then buying before it gets listed on bigger exchanges can reap nice rewards.

It will be easy when the bull run really starts to move, now it is up and down - practically impossible to predict. You need to watch the numbers constantly to maximise your gains. On some exchanges you will be fighting against trading bots so the mid level exchanges can be better than the tier 1 exchanges.

It is so unpredictable now, i and i'm sure many others were expecting bitcoin to go over $10k by now and bring up the altcoin market with it. However, it is still stuck in the bear market sentiment. Certainly better than it was several months ago but i'm expecting a bullish market all the way through summer

I think monero is already overpriced due to their unlimited supply of coins. Better off investing in a low supply coin like xspec or deeponion. As they have low market caps the potential for massive gains is better than monero.

You should take a combination of both stable and risky investments. A stable coin like monero will ensure you have slow and steady gains, however risky investments like deeponion could get you those 100x gains you always hoped for, due to their low market cap and strong potential. If onion wins the OKEx free listing vote then you would have wished you had some onions!

As crypto trading is large unregulated these pump and dump groups are not illegal and will therefore continue to operate. The only way to stop it is to encourage people not to join in. It's just a short term ponzi scheme with the newbies or late traders making serious losses.

We need more details about how you lost $13,000 in trade. If you hodl those coins then it is likely that you will have recovered a lot of that by now. Try not to stress and buy when the market is low and recovering. There are gains to be made right now as the bull run is starting

I can recommend 2 places to store NEO coins. The easiest is to leave them on Binance and secure your login with a 2 factor authentication method. However, if you prefer to look after your own coins then download the NEON wallet which has been approved by the NEO team.

This could be good for tax purposes as capital gains tax is better than income tax, but to not be recognised as a currency could be a problem for mass adoption. It needs to be used to purchase items so without the right framework it will be difficult to implement crypto in the economy

For that very reason these airdrops are mostly a waste of time. Unless the coin itself has a useful purpose i.e. not just a way to pay people like litecoin, I would stay away because people will simple add multiple accounts and receive mass amounts of coins and dump them onto the exchanges.

Macbooks are overvalued. For the same price you can get a very high spec windows laptop instead with a bigger screen and faster components. If you're really into mac stuff then hodl otherwise you will regret it later when the price goes up

It is popular with retail investors so there is a good chance of it pumping. However, it is also popular with dumpers as many ICOs have requested ethereum as a currency to receive investment. These ICOs are dumping to stay afloat so hard to say who will win. Switch to NEO as it has more bull potential

It's a tough pill to swallow but it is not just you that sold too early and missed out on a fortune. Imagine all those early miners who sold thousands of bitcoins for peanuts because no-one knew that one day it would be worth $20k. Those people must be kicking themselves!

That is the danger and why regulation is being introduced, especially to ICOs where investors are being ripped off continuously. It is always worth checking if the developers are in the public media, this makes it less likely to be a scam. Doesn't guarantee a successful project, but better than being scammed completely

It is too risky to quit a stable job to do bounties even though they are more enjoyable than the day job. You need to get lucky at least once a week in order to compensate for all the bad projects where you don't get the right payments or even none at all. It is good as a supplement but not replacement

It means their hard cap is too low and they underestimated the demand. They will wish they increased it as it costs a lot to get into big exchanges now so the more income the better. Also, it means that there are whales involved which is not a good thing for investments

The good thing about bounty hive is that they will manage the campaign properly and ensure delivery of tokens. Too many projects where they either change the rules or refuse payment. Bounty hive is a safe way to ensure the campaign is run fairly and the rewards are safeguarded

NEO is faster than ethereum and recently there have been security issue with the erc20 token so it would be better to go with the NEO platform for smart contract development. It has mass appeal across Asia, and also in western countries as well.

Venezuela is so friendly towards crypto that they have even created their own currency! Surprisingly, there aren't any big exchanges over there yet, but it's just a matter of time before a new binance appears for the south american market.
