It is impossible to evaluate the market, it is more unpredictable now than at any time ever. I think it is to do with the futures investors trying to manipulate the price. Something is going on with these odd movements in the crypto market. It is well known for being volatile but this is volatility within an already unstable market. Perhaps March will be the start of something new, a bull run now that CNY is going to finish and investors will be back in the market.

Waves has become associated with rolling out scammy tokens that don't mean much. Only good ones there are MGO and WAGERR. However, wager has just released it's own coin so it in the process of moving away from waves. The only coins that can kill ethereum are NEO and LISK. NEO is already starting to release excellent ICOs, and later this year LISK will follow, with a quicker more scalable blockchain for DAPPs

If you want massive gains take a look at WAGERR which is going to be big in the sports / esports betting world. The mainnet has just been released and masternodes are just being setup. Getting in now is likely to bring huge rewards this year. It is only on small exchanges while they were getting setup, now their official token is released the waves token is being swapped for the real coin, and then it will be listed on major exchanges  - which means big pump!

I haven't experienced any problems with cryptopia. It is a registered company in new Zealand so I doubt they will be trying to scam anyone. it is important to check your emails soon after requesting a withdrawal, if you don't click the link soon then it will expire and you have to cancel the request and try again. Although it isn't the best exchange it certainly isn't the worst, lots of variety with good coins and shitcoins all mixed in together

Tether is the most stable coin as it is tied to the US dollar - assuming it is not a scam
Otherwise the most dump resistant is probably NEO which has weathered the storm when all the cryptos dumped over the last few months. The reason there is such demand for NEO is the new ICOs that are recently being released on their blockchain, and the fact that you can earn GAS just by holding NEO in your wallet. If you buy it on binance then they will collect the gas for you! But better to hold it in a secure wallet of course

Airdrops are mostly a waste of time unless you check through all of them to see if they are scams. So far the only good airdrop is from deeponion which is distributing a good privacy coin. Others like ebtc a while back had a lot of hype around it, then suddenly the developer closed the website and social media sites, then mysteriously disappeared. Panic sell started and some were left holding the bag, luckily they were free coins anyway.

Are we supposed to download the testnet wallet and publish our address here on this thread or send via PM? Or do we wait for main net wallet to give to you?

There is no room in the market for bitcoin + bitcoin cash + litecoin all of which do the same thing. It would be too confusing for customers and too complicated to hold. Litecoin has been around longer and appears to be more widely accepted, although it doesn't offer much compared to useful coins like ethereum, NEO, and LISK. Bitcoin cash is risky and not as solid as the original bitcoin core. Stick with bitcoin - can't go wrong with that one.

NEO is the main contender to replace ethereum which is becoming slow and bloated, also full of scammy icos. NEO icos are better projects and is highly regarded across East Asia, the Americas and across Europe as well. When you look at the prices, there is only one place NEO is headed and that is upwards. With ethereum prices at around $1000 I can see NEO hitting that target towards the end of 2018

Both are low market cap coins with good privacy technology. If you can hodl then both are worth investing in for high 10x gains. Other privacy coins have already gone up, so best to stick with these two and patiently wait for the pump. It is hard to predict when it will happen so keeping them will prevent missing out. Onions are doing an airdrop so good to start there or do a split investment favouring onions.

The market usually dips in December and January due to people cashing out and generally having less money to spend. It was particularly bad this year as the dip coincided with regulatory reforms. February is generally a good time as investors return to the market so alts and bitcoin will rise again. Buying now could be the last chance before it recovers back to the all time high and then moves beyond that.

For usage then yes monero and dash are well trodden. However, they have already shot up and both have a high market cap. Same goes for verge which mooned last year. if the goal is to make a huge profit then low market cap coins are a better investment. Spectrecoin is technically advanced and still very cheap, the same goes for deeponion. If either or both go in the same direction as monero/dash then you can expect massive gains.

You can buy some bitconnect coins, those are about as useful as a fork of shitcoin. Or just wait for ripple to rise up to $2 and buy loads of those, then watch it crash back down to 50 cents ICOs with a hidden developer is also a bad investment. Without a public figure it can easily result in some type of exit scam resulting in a 100% loss. I think people will be more cautious now after the bitconnect scandal

If you are happy with slow growth then yes, it is a very safe investment and will rise this year. However, do not expect massive growth as it has already been to the moon. You should invest in cheaper coins that will reach the same price as ethereum. Take a look at LISK and NEO, both of which are competitors to ethereum and will rise rapidly this year. LISK is cheaper, but NEO is already ready with ICOs - both are better investments for 2018

I guess the same can be said of guns. They themselves are not dangerous, it is the people that use them and how it is used. Privacy coins have legitimate purposes just like any other coin. They can be a store of value like dash, or it can have a purpose with privacy technology built in e.g. wagerr which allows anonymous betting. It could be that one doesn't want this wife to know about his betting habit so he uses privacy coins instead, this is not illegal.

If you want good returns right now then pick up LISK. There is a huge rebranding event next week and when this was done with NEO from antshares their price pumped a lot. LISK will do the same so now is the right time to buy in. Also some ICOs will be released on LISK this year so it will join the ranks of ethereum and NEO for blockchains running icos. All other coins are speculative and will take time to release their product, lisk will be done this year and very soon.

This was certainly the perfect moment. So many weak hands selling at a low price, while seasoned investors knew that it was just a temporary blip. Successful is gained through patience and wise investments. There were many good opportunities, some much better than others. If you have any WAGERR tokens then you will be smiling right now as they have just launched the mainnet today. Everyone else needs to get some quick as it won't be 50 cents for much longer. This is an easy profit maker so if you missed out before, don't miss out again!

The race is certainly on for a decentralised exchange because people are getting worried about these exchanges getting hacked, especially after what happened in Japan with the NEM coins. Also, too much regulation in countries like south korea means they will want something both private and decentralised. Take a look at BISQ which offers privacy coins o their DEX. This makes it super private to exchange valuable coins. Also the waves dex is good and you can get some cheap wagerr tokens there

Pick the coin which is close to releasing a product. LISK is relaunching next week and has a usable project being released in just a few months time. ICOs will be able to use the lisk blockchain so the price will rise even further. NEO started to pump when icos went on the blockchain, the same will happen to lisk. It is already on major exchanges, all it needs is the ICOs and it will be recognised as the new improved version of ethereum.

Not sure what the cost is for the masternode but you should investigate WAGERR which is releasing the mainnet in the next few weeks. Their coins are very cheap as it still not listed on a big exchange but that will change once they release the mainnet. They are so confident that they will meet the deadline that they will burn 5000 tokens per day of their developers fund for every day they are late. Grab some cheap tokens on the waves dex
