I think it is too complicated for high schools to get deep into the blockchain, but degrees should be offering courses in developing and understanding cryptos. I am guessing that this is already popular in Russia and the surrounding areas as a lot of ICOs and new coins come from these countries.

The supply of this coin is too high for the price to rise any further, and the market cap has already gone up in such a short space of time that it is unlikely to rise any further. The product release is a long way off so nothing to pump up the price either. LISK is releasing a product this year, this will be the ethereum killer

I'm sure there are some people who are thinking they are too late to jump on the NEO bandwagon, it is already $100 per coin. However, that is what people thought about ethereum and look what the price is now?! NEO has a long way to go, it is never to late to join.

Can't see any privacy coins in your list, those are going to be big this year. If you want 10x then pick some low cap coins and throw them into the mix. Bit of a gamble but potentially very lucrative. XSPEC and deeponion have the lowest cap for decent privacy coins, monero and dash are your slow and steady bets.

LISK from Germany is going to be the biggest threat to ethereum. Progress is slow but solid with scalability and accessibility in mind. This year they will be releasing the SDK to allow DAPPS and ICOs on their blockchain written in javascript. ICOs will move from eth and neo to LISK by the end of the year.

Unlikely, bitcoin is a household name now. Any newbies who decide to join will go straight for bitcoin - even though most of us know that there are better coins out there. It might be different in other countries though e.g. NEO might be better known in China than bitcoin one day

For long term hodl pick LISK whcih is going to be the new ethereum. It can easily go more than 10x by the end of the year, and even higher if you can hodl for longer. The other obvious choice is NEO which is holding steadily while everything else is falling - there must be a reason for this

Deeponion is a good example, low market cap and lots of potential. Generally it will be coins at the lower end of the market so take a look at WAGERR which has just released their mainnet, expect an explosion soon. Mobilego can go up a lot when it hits a major exchange, these are all good potential 10x

Monero has already gone from a few dollars to 3 figures so it won't rise up at a rapid pace again. Deeponion has a low market cap so it has a lot of potential to rise like a sleeping giant. However, it depends on whether they complete the road map otherwise it won't be able to compete with existing giants.

They wouldn't be able to do it unless the country has some type of authoritarian rule. Most exchanges that we use are not even in the country that we live in. Is binance in your homeland? It would be difficult for governments to police unless they have a huge cyber-crimes unit

The market is still in a confused state. It is gradually recovering but it is a bumpy recovery. Some coins like NEO have recovered well, it survived the freefall and went back up again. If you want a low market cap coin to make a profit from try TLX on yobit. Telex AI is a trading bot on telegram with lots of potential, yet only 3 cents with 20m total supply!

NEO is a safe bet, already running ICOs and has a large team of active developers. I think this will be big this year. The other similar project is LISK, ICOs will be available on their blockchain later this year so expect another pump when the final product is ready.

It's just gone slightly over 10 cents but monetha is a good investment right now. It is releasing a product soon and had a successful ico. The other good one is TELEX AI where you can get TLX coins at yobit for 3.5 cents. Both are based on real products with real world use.

How was the account stolen? They should really activate some type of 2fa to prevent these types of situation. Good luck with the recovery ..

Meanwhile, if you have experience in javascript then i recommend you take a look at LISK as they already use javascript as their language, for this reason LISK will take off and be the new ethereum

Bitcoin is great because it has worldwide recognition which is good for crypto in general. If you go on the street and ask people if they invested in ripple or ethereum, they would have no idea what you are talking about. Bitcoin is needed to ensure the blockchain goes mainstream, it is the only coin that can do it

Yes, you have to hodl until the market returns. Bitcoin already crashed and is now at the recovery stage. For investors who bought at $19k hodling is all they can do. Or just sell and buy a fast rising coin to make up the losses.

Telegram is a great place for crypto, it appears to be more useful than twitter and facebook. If you're looking for a great investment, take a look at https://telexai.com/ which allows you to trade p2p on telegram with not trading fees! Currently TLX tokens are less than 4 cents on yobit. https://yobit.net/en/trade/TLX/BTC

Ripple has already mooned so it won't go up much further, good for the bankers that created this coin but not for those sad investors that bought at $2. It is a centralised coin that banks will not touch as it is too unstable. Just another way of bankers taking money from poor suckers that should be investing in proper coins.

Not a bad investment as privacy is becoming more sought after now. However, for convenience it would be better to simply use an app on your phone rather than carry two devices around. Better to invest in Crypviser, product is almost ready and will be first to the market. Available now on bitshares and soon on hitbtc https://ico.crypviser.net/

I think the whole point of using the blockchain is that it is open and transparent and cannot be tampered with. It is not suitable for all purposes so for anonymous transactions it would be better to use a privacy coin with direct transfer of payment. XSPEC and Deeponion use TOR to anonymise the sender so that is one option but it won't hide the transaction.
