A hardware wallet is always better and safe to hold things
 up in this space. but myetherwallet is also good. I am a new user. New is very easy to use ,fast, simple supported buy almost every etc standard token and also secure. If you are careful about it then it's hard to hack a user. Without mew there has lots of  wallet which is also good. But I always prefer myetherwallet  and if you have some extra bucks then go for hardware wallet.

Which basic you take for comparison? Marketcap, daily volume, or popularity, or same kind of coin?  If you said for marketcap I will say xrp is the best competitor. And ethereum is a platform based token. Ethereum is the post popular and most trusted platform based token at the moment.  There is no competition only Neo is there but according to eth popularity Neo is nothing. I think in upcoming days Neo eos and cardano. I don't know in which basic you choose iota.

Depends on you or whoever have the asset. But I also don't think that exchange altcoins to dollar ever work. I'm this bear market changing altcoins to fiat currency is a very dump idea. Therefore I think if you hold alts that is better. You can hold btc or change your token to btc. But when bull run come maybe alts give more profit than btc. So I always prefer holding alts.

My country at first had no problem with crypto. But after that suddenly the reserve Bank declare that there is no connection between exchange and banks. So now that's going on. And the main court will hare a judgement soon in Dec maybe. But  what are you saying about ICO we have no problem. Or it's not ban here. And also finance minister bsaid crypto is not a legal tender. But they never said that crypto is a illegal.

I have been never hacked personally. But yes I got a problem in some exchange. Somehow it's a bug and and all token swap to eth in very low price. And when I saw this situation the token somehow pumped. I contacted the exchange customer service but they didn't help me out. They just said buy that coin again. But I know people who have been hacked personally. They lost all his ethereum based token. It was pushing maybe. So if you are in this ecosystem be careful. Never trust anybody. And be careful. And if you have enough fund use hardware wallet.

I still think Neo has a good future among all platform based token. Maybe ethereum is the most popular platform based token among all. And Neo is the 2nd working platform token. Cause other platforms token like eos Ada is not working properly. Maybe ethereum is better in terms of popularity and marketcap but technically I think Neo is better. Neo have many features like no TX fees, tx speed, dividend, scalability, supported by many languages, good community, a open-source team like city of Zion support. And recently we saw many project based on Neo. So Ithink if Neo have great future.

Both of them are very good coins. But which is better for 2 years later it's really hard to predict from now. Etc is the hard fork of eth and it runs smart contract and EVM on etc chain. And in other hand NEO is a platform based token. Both of them are very good to hold and have a great future. But somehow ETC is listed on conbase for last few months. And it's big now. So hold both and make a ratio of them. Cause Neo also have some really good upcoming project in its blockchain.

It's hard to answer this question. Cause which is is better than which and in which basic. XRP and ethereum both are two vet different project and it's hard to compare between them for who they are. Ethereum is a platform based token and it is the most used and most popular platform based crypto currency. In other hand xrp is the core is of banking and transferrable money mechanism. Both of them are good at its own space. But we can see in total marketcap recently xrp crossed eth. But daily volume is still much bigger on ethereum.

I think after 2-3 even 5 years later Bitcoin will be the best and most popular crypto currency among all of them. But still this market is hard to predict for it's volatility. And if you talk about ethereum, hope it will rise again and broke it's all time high. I really like ethereum. But last few months ICO market is not going well so yeah it's hard for platform based token to give good performance. When people will again believe in ICO at any advance kind of ICO then platform token rise again. It's not about predicting price of crypto it's all about adopt this new technology. And when there is no barrier between crypto and general people all over the world then the whole ecosystem will change and early adopters will make some profit and happiness.

I also think that ethereum will rise again. And it will happen when the market will go through the bull phase. For last few months we saw that market is not going well. And the ICO market is also not going so well. So as a platform token the price is going down and down. as a token ethereum is very good but as for the price of the place and how to control yours of.

Stop predicting and stop believing in preparation. People always predict and pump the situation it's hard to predict this market only if you are not from future. And if you are from future and you predict it now it will be changed when you back in future. So just stop and better you should believe on the technology and blockchain and crypto currency. We all know that blockchain and crypto have potential to do some good things in upcoming days. That's it. And if that happen and general people accept blockchain and crypto it will surely go up. And anything is possible 10k-50k-100k-250k anything so just wait for it. And it will not happen in over night or even in any time limit it will take time whatever it needs that's it.

I also think that eth will recover as soon as the whole market is. It's not only eth which is down look at the whole market everything is down and everyone who belong in this market from atleast last 1-2 years know that. But still everyone is saying eth is down it is the end for eth. For many reason eth is down and after sec I think that problem will gone or if institutional investors enter the market. Just wait and calm and don't think it will happen overnight. It will take time but surely not only eth even every good project will rise again.

I think it is better to have more altcoins than just very few maybe 2-3. Cause mostly every different altcoins have their own roadmap and own goal yeah many of them are same but in those similarity they offer many difference many advantages many upgrades and this competition is healthy. It will grow the technology. And if you have only coin that will be manipulated by whales most of the time that is vary bad for friend level investors or users for use that alt. So I think it is better to have many altcoins I know not all of them survive but is this competition who survived that project will be very mature at a point.

I also think the same that Bitcoin is the heart of this market and every movement of Bitcoin effect others. I think people trust Bitcoin more than any other crypto and they know if something survive for long it will be Bitcoin. That's why Bitcoin got more than 50% of the full marketcap. That's why if somehow Bitcoin move up or down others do the same (most of the time and most of them). Normally if Bitcoin go down alts start to go down if it's up sometimes alts go up sometimes down. And if Bitcoin is stable that is the best time for alts to grow. I think that's how market work.

I agree with that. Many people in this group always comparing BTC vs ETH. Or ETH vs XRP. I don't think that's right cause when you compare 2 things they have to be in same page. For btc its nothing but a payment portal based on blockchain technology. And for eth it's a eth based platform token. They both have huge difference in their characteristics. And not only in characteristics but also in marketcap one of them own more than half of the full marketcap and one of them have 1/5th of other ones market cap. So they have nothing same to compare without they are based on blockchain which cannot be compared.

Ok if you have to choose a competitor against ethereum then it depends which based you have to take. If you say as marketcap basic then I will say xrp is best option and it's already giving a hard competition to eth. And the 2 nd option would be eos for me in next few months. And of the competition is based on the project then I would say NEO is doing good. Eos would be one of the best competitor in next few months. Cardano if it's ready in upcoming months. I thing eth maybe going down but still it has a very good popularity and trust score among all of us. So it's hard for just anycoin to compete eth. They have to reach the popularity and trust of people and a good project to go there and compete.

You can see now that the price is below 6k for btc and even 5k. And it is challenging the 4k resistance wall. And for last 3-4 days we see 200-300$ pump and dump but still it's in 4.2-4.6k. And if somehow it's break 4k wall it's max reach 3.6-3.8. then we see a bounce. I think this BCH drama is all over the world and people are tired of it. And when it's properly stop we see some bull run. And I also think that institutional investors took a great chance to enter the market. And they are doing it. Maybe it takes time but we hope we will see a bull run soon. Atleast hope for it.

Depends on you how much risk you can take and how much experience in this field you have. If you are new to this field and don't have any experience or you want to invest in secure place then go with Bitcoin or some alts which is under 20-30 ranks in CMC. If you can take risk then split your portfolio and spend 30-40% of it in some alts which have low volume but have a great vision and great project. Which have great opportunity in future and rest of your portfolio in btc or some good alts. And about ICO investment you need a lots of experience to identify a good ICO. That's it.

Surely crypto currency will survive for long and so do crypto currency users. Maybe 10-20 years later maybe most of them can't survive. But this market will do it. Blockchain technology itself is a revolutionary idea which will take change in the teach world. And this crypto is not for short term, it's the future so I think crypto will survive for surely. Maybe for some corrections we will be lost many things but at that te we also make many new and useful project. So don't worry just calm down and happy with what you have.

I also think in that way. But this is not the only reason for Bitcoin is this low. I think BCH drama is more effective. Ok can meet you your ward, I started to think that cause see bakkt with international institutional money. So they need Bitcoin and the best way for buying Bitcoin is when the full market is down. But when this whole BCH think will gone market will start to recoverWe just have to wait for the right moment .
