This is close to what I do. And I think it is a better way than getting a software that remembers or stores one's password. That can be dangerous even given the notoriety of hackers and scammers this day. However, I don't do the bolded. Its scary and dangerous. I don't like leaving password on phones or computers because of theft or loss.

Your picks are good, especially Neo and Omisego. But why would you want to hold a coin for 2-3 years? Isn't that too distant a time? Well, you can add Walton, regalcoin and Binance coin. These are great coins with potentials. The last two are also exchanges. History has it that any coin owned by an exchange would do very well. Waves is also a good coin.

Sadly, this holds true in business. Haven't you heard this expression, "one man's meat is another's poison. This makes the market cleans itself up. Someone must see a reason to buy where another senses doom. Such is a life principle. But to say the truth, the Chinese didn't dump that hard. China will surely regret its action in years to come.

Activities of Bitcoin or the cryptocurrencies will not make banks disappear completely. It will expectedly render the banks less important just like what email did to the postal services. It is important to point out here that it is not true that blockchain transactions are free of fees as argued by the OP. There isn't any free lunch anywhere. We do pay a certain fee (just like we do with banks) to enable crypto transactions go through.

Even right now I am faced with this situation with so many fantastic ICOs on the way. These things do happen from time to time and they make us regret our past buys. When faced with this, I try to sell off some of the altcoins in my portfolio even at a loss so I can buy into a more promising investment. We can't win them all the time.

Can we really say that BCH is successful given the price range it has now as against the few days it was launched when price surged to over $800? As for the fork, this one won't be a big deal and we don't expect the same panic situation as August 1 that produced the BitcoinCash. Hopefully too we expect another round of bonus on the new coin.

Are there openings now for new participants since it is already the start of a fresh round?

Well, there isn't a way that one can trade on an exchange without leaving certain amount of btc there for impromptu and opportunistic buying. I don't think that $200 worth the OP mentioned is a big deal. It isn't much of a risk if you asked me. It should be a buffer for OP's convenience. What I do not buy into is people leaving several thousands of dollar worth in an exchange.

We really can't describe what Poloniex or similar exchanges offer as lending. It is loaning. Lending is what bitconnect does in its program and it is appropriately likened to what banks call a fixed deposit.

As per getting New coin (as stated in the thread topic, not just any existing coin), that may be through ICOs or through exchanges as soon as the coins are listed in the market.

I am cocksure that one of the things that led Satoshi into establishing bitcoin was the global financial meltdown in 2008. It really was so chaotic that firms, companies and institutions shut down because they couldn't meet up. In 2009, bitcoin came up as an alternative to the traditional financial institution. With the Cyprus scenario a few years later, the strength of the bitcoin was tested and that proved its effectiveness. Bitcoin is above traditional financial institution and that's what scares China. The Chinese feel it's going to permanently floor their Yuan. Hence, the dramatic ban on it. Yes, that should be a boom for bitcoin.

First one off, what kind of business investment are you really looking for? Is it online or offline (like having a shop or physical office) that can be ran with bitcoin?

Secondly, are you looking at active investment where you would be actively involved or a passive investment where your financial commitment does the running around while you sit back and reap from the accrued daily interest?

On the second, there are opportunities for that in lending programs like bitconnect and the recently to be launched regalcoin. You can invest your bitcoin in them.  

Ok, let us assume both were wrong in explaining what question was asked. It should have been your responsibility as a high ranked memeber of this forum to put them through and help out the OP rather than castigating them for spamming.

OP, instead of spreading crap why don't you chat then up on their official telegram group here: @waltonchain_en. Stop being another JP Morgan and act reasonably by doing a deep research into the project rather than this hate and FUD you spew.

The key word should be "watchful." We should be very watchful and weary of any ICO. Definitely, there are spoilers in everything we do. Of course, some devs are just there to scam investors without the intention of putting out any real project out there. And the way these cryptos get listed daily on the coinmarketcap leaves a lot to be worried about. Most of them end up shitty after the ICOs leaving investors at loss.

Most people here would say, look at the team members and their experience and past achievement as if they really can tell what the acquired experience has got to do with the current project. But what the heck! The OP didn't ask about ICO, he said altcoin which presupposes that the coin has been listed already.

For me I look at two things and these are major consideration for me.
1. The total supply of the altcoin I want to buy into. The fewer the supply, the easier for its price rise.
2. The trading volume and market cap.

Honestly, the White House needs to open up the space and make public declaration in support of Cryptocurrency. That way China will die daily regretting its action in clamping down on Bitcoin. The earlier the better for the US. A few countries are already adopting the blockchain technology into its financial system and this is where the modern technology lies. These countries may springboard on the cryptosystem to become a force in global economy.

Obviously, this is a noob question or you are just trolling. What could be more distant from reality than your statement that no law can stop Bitcoin. Isn't the Chinese on it already and strangulating exchanges registered in China? If other countries had towed the line of China, definitely that would have been the end of bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general.

This scenario you painted is already happening. People are dying intestate and some are likely holding one cryptocurrency or the other. This is the obvious reason the 21million estimated total Bitcoin supply can never actually be in circulation. Many are already lost as at the moment. And yes it is good to leave vital information to a next of kin of wallet IDs, password and any stuff that can ensure smooth transfer once owner dies.

Some exchanges (like Binance) will ask for a minimum of 0.001 btc before you are allowed to trade any coin on their sites. That is if you already have an account with them. But that doesn't mean you should start with that. If you do, it will only limit your chances to getting in on just one trade at a time and on cheap coin only. Try funding your account with a minimum of 0.01 btc. I started with 0.035 btc.

Personally, I think not much has been done in the way of publicity for Waves and OP is right on this. I guess the devs think Waves is a nice product on its own and for that does not require much promo and adverts. This is definitely not a good way to go about business. Besides all that, Waves is a nice crypto for token exchange. It is the only crypto I know that gives out freebies to its holders from time to time. However, Its major problem is lack of publicity and also by allowing itself to be overshadowed by Ether in ICOs.
