Bitcoin transaction is very high for now. I will advice you not to use p2p exchange or shape shift because you are going to be paying a lots of fee. Your best bet as it is right now is for you to use exchange like bittrex etc.

There is no Ideal  number you can start trading with. You can however start with $100 to familiarize yourself with the market and the act of trading! Trading require a lot of skills and maneuvering. So get started.

Hello Bounty Manager,
                                  Can we remove signature now?

When you 'normal' that could mean so many things. When ICO hit the exchange , the price can be affected in many ways than one! The bounty hunter may drop their share and some investor might also want to take profit especially if there is any gain to be taken. But many ICO i have seen this year move 10 times immediately they are on exchange e.g powr,eos etc.

Just look at top 20 altcoin on coinmarketcap and you might have your answer there. Of a particular interest to me however is ether. Ethereum platform has been fantastic this year! I have been able to make many transaction seamlessly with any network issue. ethereum is going to be very valuable in the future!

Coinbase accepted litcoin on it's platform. Many people also are you litecoin as alternative to bitcoin in transacting  and transaction. I do not see any development going on in litecoin but it could be best use for transaction if bitcoin become impossible to use!

Altcoin future is more certain than many debt, inflation ridden fiat! See the development and the awareness cryptocurrency has gotten in the last few months of the year alone. With all the FUD and controversies, Cryptocurrency is still moving on to the greater height is rightly belong to!

Market is always right as the saying goes! I am yet to meet anybody who always get it right all the time. You win some and you lose some. It is good we have a place like bitcointalk where we can pour out our frustrations from our mistake and bad decision. 

My etherwallet is the best so far. i read a lot of stories on how people supposedly lose their fund in their wallet. I know it is clear to everybody now that nobody can crack your wallet unless you mistakingly enter your details in the phishing site!

It has already cross the $500 mark. the moment I saw DASH approaching $1000, I knew ethereum can never remain below $500! How high ethereum will go is not yet clear for me as it has some issue to deal with.

You can start with any amount you have. The beauty of cryptocurrency is that any cryptocurrency are divisible to a fraction of figures. That in itself enable you to trade with whatever capital you  can afford top trade with. The important thing however is you trade and master your game!

There are many ICO indeed! But this is not the first time where you will see a whole lots of altcoin been release on a regular basis! It has always been crowded in crypto space. However, if you need to trust any project, you can trust blockchain to verify the claim of any project in term of supply and development. Community also can be trusted in rating ICO reputation etc.

Cryptocurrency is not a kingdom or some sort of regulated space. Bitcoin is leader simply because it was the first cryptocurrency that was successfully launched with best security to date. Ethereum is also in a worldof it's on. It has a lot of user and smart contract capabilities make it very attractive to creating  ICO and raising capital!

Altcoin purchase is always on going for me personally. Overtime I have realize that profit in altcoin is always better than bitcoin. Everyone is talking about bitcoin but many altcoin are doing 50x appreciation in value silently!

The transaction on ethereum platform are getting better, just increse your Gwei to around 50 and set your gas limit to 200,000 you will be fine. I have been doing this since crypto kitties event and all my transactions confirm in less than 5Min!

If you are thinking of buying ethereum with all your money, you may be making a lots of mistake. That is not to say that ethereum will not increase in value. But how on earth would you be buying ethereum alone with all your money?

If you haven't sold your bitcoin out of excitement already, I will suggest you hold your merger bitcoin. It could become  some $200 ish very soon because bitcoin  is clearly heading to 20k

I would really wish this speculation is true right now because we are in December already. But believe you me, it is not looking like Ethereum will be $1000 this December.

We definitely need  Altcoin not only altcoin, we also need token that are built on some of the quality altcoin like Ethereum. Altcoin dare the path that Bitcoin may never attempt. Also is toke economy could co-exist with Internet of things

I will suggest that you should do the two! Bitcoin seem to be on a bull run that will not stop in the nearest future. ICO is also a very good way to get serious profit on your investment!
