What do you mean crash? The only altcoins that crash are those that are shitcoins right from the start. Big ones never crash. They do experience turbulence along the way of course. That is a normal part of any crypto coin. Even Bitcoin experienced dumping, how much more to altcoins. But that is not crashing down. That is even a sign that all these coins are being actively traded and there are people who are buying and selling such coins. Those that does not move are not alive. They better be kicked out.

I only have Waves and of course Bitcoin. I have heard that Shift is also a good altcoin but I have not yet bought shift yet. I was wondering why you are asking about the 3 good altcoins and never mentioned Ethereum. That is the second coin in the world of crypto right after Bitcoin. And so I would recommend that to you before any other altcoin. And then I would also recommend POWR, one of the most looked after altcoin, as it is predicted to become one of the top in the months to come. And then I would also recommend to you the new and young yet as solid as the old Eidoo (EDO).

And for me, your $19 was not worth all your effort actually. I also joined a few airdrops. I have not received anything at all in return except a single coin and that is Ethereum Cash (ECash). Well, what would I expect from a certain airdrop which is not totally original and never even made a unique name? But I still kept my ECash in my wallet. Who knows, it might become big in the future. But since then, I did not join any airdrop anymore. I would rather focus my attention and effort in doing something else more profitable.

The new year will give us a very bullish market. Actually, I was thinking that the very bullish days will come in the early days and weeks of the new year but apparently it happened much earlier. We have to remember that the months of October, November, and December were very good months in terms of growth in cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin. And then later in December, the price drop of Bitcoin came. Therefore, when the correction is over, the bullish trend will definitely follow. And that would be happening in the new year.

It is a right investment but surely it is not for everyone to invest. Gone are the days when there were only a handful of crap or scam ICOs. It was safer back then to invest in ICOs. And more profitable, too. Right now, aside from the fact that ICOs are swarming the market, a great many of them are also scams, or if not, shallow ones. That is why a thorough research has to be done first before jumping into a decision.

Stakes refer to your share of the bounty that will be distributed to all the campaign participants. It is done in that way so that the computation will be smoother and clearer. Your stakes refer to how many qualified weekly countings or posts you have done. If you have read bounty rules, there are included examples as to how to compute stakes. They are not very hard to understand. Just try computing and you will get it.

I think I can recommend to you myetherwallet.com for your altcoins that are on the Ethereum blockchain. There is no problem with myetherwallet because they are not an online wallet that is holding all your private keys and passwords. With myetherwallet, you have your private key, password, and a JSON file which you can keep all by yourself.

A lot of people are really doing this. They are selling their altcoins and shift to Bitcoin simply to be able to qualify for the free give-away coins after the split is fully implemented. Some are even doing cut loss just so their Bitcoin holdings will increase, hoping to get a bigger slice of the free coins. Thus the usual pump of the coins before a split is done. In any case, however, it is important to weigh in the risks and probable profit.

There are a few coins that seldom move either up or down. But if you prefer these coins simply to use them as some sort of a parking lot then go for the stable ones that are also not in danger of getting dumped at any minute. XEM has remained stable for the past several months already. Although it has grown also, in general it is almost always stable at top 9 or 10 or sometimes falling from the top 10 a notch or two. It cannot easily fall as it is essentially a good coin but would not also grow very high due to a relatively weak hyping.

Ethereum is a very solid altcoin. In fact, at least as far as my own opinion is concerned, Ethereum is the leading coin in the altcoin world. It comes second to Bitcoin. However, I believe that it is best to put your investments into different coins. It is actually what the great majority of crypto investors are doing. Adding Waves and Monero, as you mentioned, is a good move. These two coins will be flying higher in the next year.

It will. We just have to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. The time will definitely come when the price of Ethereum will reach the level of Bitcoin's. It might not happen in the year 2018 but I am more than willing to wait. Being patient will really pay off here in crypto. Remember that all coins here started off small. Hell, even Bitcoin started off with its value only in cents. But I guess when Ethereum is reaching the level of Bitcoin's value, Bitcoin is already very expensive.

Not everything using bounties and airdrops are shits. Although there are growing numbers of projects and ICOs that are causing a bad name to bounties and airdrops. You have to be aware that the big coins in the world of crypto have also gone through the same process. Monero, Lisk, Wings, etc have also their own versions of bounties when they introduced and offered their ICOs to the market.

With my vote cast, the voting is already made a tie at 160 for both Yes and No. My vote is a No. I think Ethereum is not a bubble and will not burst. Of course time will come that all cryptocurrencies of today will become obsolete as the rise of so many cryptos, many of them much better ones, are very fast and in big numbers. But this does not mean that Ethereum is a bubble. It simply means there will always be developments.

It is indeed risky. You have not made some kind of a safety net for your portfolio in case your single altcoin will dump in value. But if you really believe that the altcoin you are investing into will give you a big and quick return of investment, then you may go for it. After all, you are investing $500 only. The advice will always be to diversify portfolios though. But make no mistake, I also all in sometimes when there is a very good entry point in a trusted altcoin. But I pulled out immediately after gaining.

The prices right now are still cheaper as compared to the past days. You may still buy even the top coins with a discounted price. Look at Bitcoin. It is valued only around $12,000 right? It used to reach $20,000. Ethereum is also cheaper now. It was more than $800 several days ago. The same goes to Litecoin as well as Ethereum Classic. This is the season to buy. Everything's offered with a price sale.

Regrets abound here in crypto. But it is all right. One cannot simply get everything. I also have my own share of crypto regrets. First of everything is that I entered into this world a bit later than I should have. Bitcoin was much cheaper back then but I did not buy even a small amount. The same goes to a lot of altcoins. Litecoin, Ethereum, Waves, and a lot of major altcoins were actually very cheap before.

Oh I thought you are asking for the best ICO in 2018. But your post is asking for a good ICO in December. You must be referring to December 2017 then. Anyway, SwissBorg is a very unique and solid project made in Switzerland and being offered to the world. The project is about crypto wealth management. And they have raised at least 12 million CHF so far. Quite amazing. You still have the chance to take part as the ICO is still running.

Of course I do. But since I have only a very limited monetary resources to buy as much as I want, I am only satisfied with what I can buy. Actually, I am already holding several coins. Some I sell high and then buy back during the cheap season, just like what we have now. But right now, I really need to hold them still because they already dumped in their prices. But I am looking forward to a few days from now when they will again fly.

Investments in ICO are never for newbies and beginners in the crypto world. There is much tasks to do before one invests in ICOs. It is not simply buying a certain token and hold it for like a couple of months and then one reaps profits already. No, it is not the way it is. First and foremost, there are so many ICOs in the market today and most of them are not really good and will probably die soon. Picking the best choices is even a hard task already.

Perhaps. It might be because it is holiday season and there is a need to have some money for shopping and presents-giving. But this is not something to worry about. Because for the past several years, the pattern will always be that when there is a dump especially a wider one, what follows is that there will be more fiat to come in. I know there are a lot of people out there who will take this opportunity to buy a lot of coins. They are cheap right now.
