Market is actually stabilizing, this is a good thing. For some time we will move between the two hundreds and three hundreds, perhaps occasionally going to 350. My prediction, it will not go much lower than this no matter what.

We all regret not getting in sooner, this is for sure. I don't know a single person that regrets nothing in his/her crypto journey. We are in for dynamics and high risk so inevitably more regrets will come, but we are also in for something that is unlike anything traditional markets have seen before. Major experts fail constantly to predict the crypto market's future, so do your reading, make informed rather than emotional choices and learn along the way. Do not regret anything. If you are here, you probably won much more than you lost, so keep it going and get better.

I don't think Ripple's rise the end of 2017 could have been predicted and honestly I don't think it deserved it. It is an "old" coin, has an idea, but nothing so drastic happened to provoke the spike. Will refrain from investing in it unless we get some actual good news, which is not currently the case.

Etherium is the foundation for the vast majority of altcoins making it a stable longterm investment. If you are looking for spikes and fast profits look the other way, but if you are looking for stability for months or years to come Etherium is quite a safe bet. 

Truly there are plenty of ICO's around and many are here just for scoring some big numbers and leaving the projects, but if you do your due diligence there are some incredibly interesting projects happening at any given moment. Spend some time on it:

1. Read the whitepapers

2. Research the teams thoroughly

3. Check the partners (if any)

4. Estimate whether this coin is indeed needed, does it deliver anything new to the market or is it just copying what tens or other coins are doing


...do not get carried away into trusting fancy words, everyone is "revolutionizing" something nowadays
