in my portfolio there is $200. I would like to invest them in the crypto currency. I want to divide it into parts to enclose fiat money as follows:
10% - NEM (XEM)
10% - Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
10% - Ethereum Classic(ETC)
10% - Hshare (HSR)
10% - Verge (XVG)
10% - DigiByte (DGB)
10% - Expanse (EXP)
10% - GoByte (GBX)
10% - Hush (HUSH)
10% - Rupee (RUP)
do you think, is this a reasonable solution? I will be very grateful for the opinion of experienced crypto-drivers.
I do not know what you expect to gain but 200 dollars is not a lot of money, and you are dividing that money among 10 coins you will have a better chance to turn those 200 in more money if you put it all in a single coin, many advice for diversification and that is right but only when you hold a significant amount of assets which is not your case so if I were you will buy the coin with the most potential to grow. |

Those noobs can be easily swayed by FUD specially those who bought at the top price during the December frenzy. They panic when everything evaporated just like that then comes the FUD schills and doomsayers which added fuel to the fire. That's why they are the victims here, potential profits is gone because they are too emotional. Then they join the doomsayer that bitcoin is dying or bitcoin will go to 0. Well, you can't blame them. They went to the market with the hope that its a get rich scheme which they learn in the hard way that its not.
That's why they are called noobs in the first place but yes we can't blame them. Thinking bitcoin price will just stay upwards, these noobsstick to that kind of mindset without realizing that a crash or dip might happened on the way. But honestly, it was a good experienced for them to be swayed by FUD and then regret follows as in here they will realized that bitcoin price crash is not the type of scenario where they will just easily pullout their assets. With that kind of experienced, these noobs will improved their thinking that a crash is part of the system and if they planned to hold for long term then they can conclude that they must disregard any forms of movement on the price because all they need to do is to HODL. It was not only noobs many people thought the price will keep increasing since the 2017 year was a year were almost everything went bitcoin way so they were too comfortable seeing the price growing, the crash was a nice wake up call, nothing goes up forever not even bitcoin and if they want to make money long term they cannot buy at any moment and think they will be making profits you need in fact to take advantage of the dips and hold for a long time. |

I think bitcoin prices have decreased compared to last year.
The price of btc around this month last year is just 1k USD, So comparing BTC's price last year to this year, I can say that the price of BTC is still high. Well, no one would have expected BTC to reach 10k~20k USD in just a year,. This is something many forget, the price increase last year was completely unexpected, and many of the things that happened were unexpected as well, like getting 20 forks all of a sudden and japan accepting bitcoin as a currency, and that is why the price grew so much, so the fact we got a decrease in rice is nothing to be worried about it will eventually recover but it will take sometime before that happens. |

Bitcoin has a big impact on the financial stability of a country. Bitcoin gives people a chance to be a financially stable, if more people in a country uses and working in the crypto currency, then it will be a good result to the countries economy. Because no more poor anymore and everyone has the capability to pay their own taxes and that helps the country to earn more funds.
No, bitcoin can offer great opportunities to particular people like us but bitcoin does not have the size to affect the economy and the stability of a country negatively or positively, but for the people like us bitcoin offers opportunities that could not be available otherwise, which is one of the reasons I'm very happy I discovered bitcoin when I did. |

The only way to learn about a good ICO is to do a thorough research on it before investing. its almost impossible to tell which ICO will perform well . but if you keenly look into their ideas and implementation strategies, u may know what will work and what wont, bottom line is, make an informed decision.
It is impossible to know perfectly the possible performance of a coin but at the same time you can make a good guess, there are many coins in which is very easy to tell that is a scam or that something is not right, some still earn some money with those projects which is why you see so many of them but to get truly great profits you need a project that has many characteristics that make it a viable long term project and when you find it the chances you make a lot of money are great. |

I'm sure most weak hand are new people who still do not have experience in the world of trading and crypto, when they see the coin they hold down, then they will quickly sell its / panic sell, to cut the bigger losses
Not everything can be explained like that, it is clear most weak hands are new to bitcoin but there are also a lot of weak hands that have been around for longer and that thought bitcoin will always go up and then they realized this is not correct and panicked and sold for a terrible price, also many invested money they could not afford and this created even more stress in them and that is why they sold. |

Great chance to buy bitcoin more and more now, price has been roaming around 8600-8700 since yesterday, proof that its going up from now, no more going down.
I hope the market will remain stable. at least not to parachute like yesterday. yes although we can not predict every market situation. one of the best things to do right now is, buy the bitcoin and hold it Lol. Now we have people who want the market to remain like this for a while so they can have enough to keep loading up before it starts a bull run. Good one too though, but someone with some cash, it is still a good time to get some part of the price in the market now before we start seeing more of those period coming. I believe we still have a lot of room for growth anyway, so we still have some days to get to see some of that happen. I think this is natural bitcoin did not gave us too many chances in the last year, the last year was all a huge price increase and we did not had the opportunity to save more money so we could invest money in bitcoin at good prices, when you think about it it is not really a bad idea to wish for the price to remain like that for sometime but we know bitcoin will not wait for us and it will skyrocket when we least expect it. |

Currently, Bitcoin is valued at $11,826 and rising. Is this a good time to buy small chunks of Bitcoin, such as 0.1 or 0.2 BTC? On one hand, people buying now are buying very high. But what if it doesn't dip again to under $10,000 this year and just keeps going up?
Buying right now seems like a good option, the price does not seem like it is going to go that low and the current price is very good entry point if we see that the all time high is very far away, just remember if you are going to invest in bitcoin you need to make a long term investment and to not rely on the fact that bitcoin will go up in the short term, if you do that then you can earn a good amount by holding. |

I just work on bounty at this moment.But every person have a dream.I have a dream.I want to make a big investor.I want to invest on ICO.Can anyone explain me, Have any risk involved invest money on ICO?
Before investing in ICO you should to research a lot of succesfull ended ICOs and find out why that projects were good for investment and what's the current price of its token. Especially draw the attention of projects that grew up within general downward trend. The icos that became successful had most of the necessary requirements you will want from an ico, they had a great team, good marketing, a use case and a committed community when you add all of that the success of an ico is almost inevitable sometimes you need to wait for longer and sometimes the success is immediate but it does not matter if an ico has all of that it will become a success. |

I’m ok with regulations. One of many thing that stops people from investing in cryptocurrency is legitimacy. Most people don’t want to put their time, effort and money on something that does not have a physical form and is not recognised by the government.
That's a good point, I also know a lot of people who know bitcoin, read the news about bitcoin but as long as they can't do the whole bitcoin thing officially, they won't risk their time and money. They say as soon as the government regulates it, they will be the first to invest into the technology. Also, we need some kind of regulation, in order to make buying and selling bitcoin easier for average people. And average people needs education, if they want to join the crypto market, in order to avoid unnecessary losses and to manage the risks of the crypto world properly. This will help the mass adoption on the long run. That is fine but while they are waiting it could be too late after all bitcoin will not stop when it begins to skyrocket you need to be ready and have bitcoin in store or the next time you see the price you will need to pay way bigger prices than before, this happened in December and it will happen again, besides even if regulation is put in place that does not mean we are going to get any kind of protection from the government in case we lose our money. |

I am not much experienced in the stock market...
Someone have some undervalued stocks with huge dividends, which are not well known?
Do not invest in stocks. Never invest in something you do no understand, that simple advice given by Warren Buffett one of the most successful investors in the world should be something we all follow, if you want to invest in stocks then get some experience, the market is not going anywhere there are always going to be new companies to invest what it is not coming back is your money if you lose it. |

If I invest $10,000 in ETH and hodl for 1 year...will I be rich? Just curious  You need to be more specific what do you mean by rich? Do you mean 100k or 1 million dollars? Because if you mean an amount of money between those values then the answer is no, ETH is not going to grow that much that fast if you want profits like that then you need to become a trader or you need to invest in an ico and hope for the coin to skyrocket. |

Bitcoin price crash is nothing new because there were many crashes that already happened in the past. Bitcoin worst crash happened last 2013 and 2017, it downed by 87% and 59% respectively and in this crashes, bitcoin is proclaimed dead by many of its critics. Bitcoin regularly comes back to life after this worst crashes and manage to regain its bullishness later. I believe bitcoin will remain to be the top cryptocurrency for more years and can always manage to comeback despite of many challenges it will face.
This is true but you need to understand that even if we have seen some crashes most of the people that entered in bitcoin in the last year and specifically at the end of the year have never seen anything like it, so it is very natural they panicked even if they knew a crash like that was possible, knowing it can happen and actually living through it are two different things. |

When will people understand that cryptos can not possibly be banned?
I think people understand, but there's the second thing, they can ban all big exchanges and if they do it, the effect will be huge. Nobody who knows what is happening will ever seriously care about anyone banning "all big exchanges". First of all, it's impossible that all big exchanges will be banned because countries like Switzerland have a vested interest in being the finance capital of the world, which will lead to liberal regulations regarding the new paradigm that is Bitcoin. Secondly, decentralized exchanges are in the making which can not possibly be taken down by any regulatory institution. Both effects combined make sure that Bitcoin will not die and come back stronger than before if a large amount of countries decided to go to war against cryptos. And in the meantime, weak and uneducated hands will get shaken out, while institutional money gets to load up on discounted Bitcoins. It's up to you if you want to fall into their trap or not. You're right that decentralized exchanges cannot be banned, but i mentioned big exchanges, frankly i don't know one big decentralized exchanges. About Switzerland, do you really think that? Do you know that Swiss banks has been forced to provides data about clients to goverments a few years ago? Big exchanges can be eliminated pretty easy way, if they will cut from liquidity from banks. This process happen now, slowly and gradually. If regulators will treat banks blacklisting, they immediately stop to provide fiat transactions to exchanges That is eventually going to happen, we could avoid exchanges and use decentralized exchanges but we will be unable to exchange for fiat and each person will have to try to figure out by themselves how to do this, now if the adoption of bitcoin keeps going up we may reach a point in which we no longer need to sell our bitcoin for fiat and can use it directly to purchase stuff. |

Every one has a price in which they tend to buy Bitcoin. For me personally it is 12 K, if I see Bitcoin below that and have money I see it as a oppurtunity to buy. Though this is not backed by any research, this drives my strategy. I thought if we could collect all such opinions, we could arrive at a price which everyone thinks as normal. Because if you think about it, all pur personal opinions of Bitcoin increase or decrease the price (Barring instance of manipulations by whales  which we can't do anything about) If you feel comfortable buying bitcoin at less than 12k then keep doing it, it is a bargain and while many could think that as expensive they are not going to think that when bitcoin reaches an amount way bigger than that, however you are never going to be able to reach a consensus about a good price to buy, everyone has their own standards and reasons to prefer to buy below a certain price. |

Though price reaches to al low as $9.9K, price still gets well supported above 10K, if BTC can't break upwards, is it gathering momentum and get itself ready for next round of uptrend?
Feel free to leave your comments below.
I see this as just the market not knowing what to do, the price cannot go up because there is not a reason for it but the price cannot go that much lower either since there is not a justification for it, so we are going to get weeks of small fluctuations like this until something big enough pushes the market, this can create an increase in the price but it can also have the opposite effect if FUD begins to be spread again. |

My start with crypto/btc was that I invested a bit end of November last year. I had a few friends that told me about their small successes and how easy it was to just 'start'. It was indeed quite easy. I started to read and research into btc and every other relevant coin. Whitepapers, teams and such. Then I started to shift focus to the block chain, starting to get a grasp on what could be the future possibilities. I started to get real exited and invested some of my savings in a few projects with (to me) real potential. None of those projects appeared to be alive because of speculation only, mainly because they have a vision and actual plans.
So then I noticed that there are quite a few documentaries. I started to watch them all. A few from 2015, 2016 and 2017. I was disappointed to say the least. Everything was about bitcoin and the value/worth of bitcoin. It was about highs and lows, crashes and deceit. Only a few times the actual potential of the block chain was mentioned. Mostly it was about money.
Right now I am starting to feel like this is just a way to make money. Nothing more nothing less. You buy into btc or other coins and in no way are you really supporting the project, besides maybe adding to the order books at the exchanges with some minor effect until whales decided to take over. I sometimes have some sort of dishonest feeling, like the money I make through buying (and seldom) selling is somehow dirty as it comes from people that simply do less research, bail out or simply already had their take.
I started with high feelings of morality, being part of some new future where block chain would be the next internet. Right now it feels like a rat race where you have to grab as much money as possible before others take it before you or from you.
Not that I am ungrateful. I like many projects because of the team behind it that actually want to change the world. But if I look around me, it is mostly those that are in it to make money, a lot of money....and this money has to come from somewhere right (those that lose money)...
What is your take on this? Is this all a phase, part of how this game works?
Bitcoin began as an idealistic project created by a person or persons by the name of Satoshi Nakamoto but as time has passed bitcoin has become more about the money than anything else, however bitcoin is a currency so from the very beginning even when the idealistics where the majority this has been about money and transform the way we use it in our lives. |

I'm a complete newbie but I am eager to learn how to trade and make some good profits can anyone help me so that I won't make many mistakes in trading? Any Tips?
Practice it is as simple as that, you can read all the books about trading you want but if you do not practice your skills you are never going to make any kind of progress, the good aspect of this is you do not even need money to practice there are exchanges that let you trade with play money so you do not risk anything after you can obtain consistent profits then you can begin to trade. |

Waves features:
---Fast transactions
---- no touring complete smart contracts (safer than a touring complete smart contract)
----- DEX ( not a goode interface tought)
---- tokens creation
----- Ico creation
WIill waves have the same boom that ethereum had last year (2016) or not?
Will it kill Ethereum?
Not going to happen there is simply too much money riding on Ethereum to suddenly switch to a completely new platform however waves is a good investment and in my opinion is cheap so this is an opportunity to buy and hold, in my opinion this is an easy 10x in 2 or 3 years maybe for some that is not enough growth but if you invest a significant amount of money that can be enough to improve your economic situation. |
