Aside from Bitcoin, you should also invest in some altcoins. Do not put yourself into much hassle anymore. We all know there is a huge number of altcoins out there as choices. It makes you feel dizzy reviewing each one of them and deciding which particular altcoin you will be investing. Just reduce your choices into 50 or even 20. Read about their project and you are good to go. ETH, LTC, XMR, ADA, SC, BAT are some of the best choices.

Here is an experience that always repeats with my trades. I normally set a buy order so low to make sure that when a coin plunges deep, I can buy at the cheapest price. The ending most of the time is that my bid price will remain there at the bottom and will never be filled. The lines on the chart reverse already and I was left not able to buy anything.

It all depends on the trader's comfort. Great chart views, user-friendly and easy to navigate. I know KuCoin is one nice trading platform but not the highest volume of the major coins so far. Volume is one of the major consideration when I choose where to trade. Orders are easily filled up when the volume is high.

Here is what I learned in 2018: I need to have stronger hands. I have always believed that I have those until the $20,000 value of Bitcoin in the last remaining days of 2017 became $16,000 in 2018 and then $12,000 and then fell down lower at $10,000 and then worse at $6,000 until it stayed for a while at $3,000. That was the ultimate test everybody will never forget. And for several months of hodling, my hands became weaker and weaker. I let go of my BTC, a portion at least.

I will not go full time except if I have another source of income which is reliable and long term. Otherwise, trading for me will simply be an extra. Even the best traders do not end each day with a profit. That is the reality. It appears appealing at the start, studying trading and doing some calls but it really is not. I don't think trading gains are enough for me to be sustained with all my daily needs. Sometimes, instead of gains, I lost.

For sure, it cannot be branded Ethereum 2.0 if it is just a minor change in the entire system. It is going to be huge. Right now, at a little above $200, Ethereum is indeed a good buy. I am always making sure that I am including Ethereum in my portfolio regardless of whether there is an Ethereum 2.0 or not. Ethereum is always the best altcoin. If its price goes down, grab the opportunity.

In the earliest days of exchange listing of a coin, it is believed that bounty hunters are the ones who really do the dumping. So that ICO price is almost immediately far from the current price. I think that most of the bounty hunters will dump as soon as the coin is admitted on an exchange. But over time, the coin should get back to its price since it is only a very small portion of the total number of coins that allocated for bounty. If it fails to, the project and not the bounty hunters should be blamed.

If possible, do not save them in an exchange wallet, unless you are a day trader. Save them in hardware wallets such as trezor or ledger nano. They are safer as compared to online wallets or desktop wallets and mobile wallets. Private keys should not be shared to anyone, strictly. And they should be kept somewhere very safe, preferably somewhere secret.

Bitcoin is already worldwide. Everyone can use it even if one is in Europe, or in Asia, or in South America, or in North America, or even in Africa. The only problem with Bitcoin is that other countries do not allow it. So it is not on Bitcoin's end but on the part of the government of the countries where Bitcoin is not allowed. Do you think their restriction will be lifted if another coin is going to replace Bitcoin? We have thousands of altcoins and yet some countries remain hard and close-minded.

For now, we do not know what is the future for IEO. What we know so far is that it is the trend among offerings nowadays. It is much better than ICOs in that ICOs have no assurance to get listed on exchanges. At least in IEOs, they are already listed. But we are always changing, we always find new and better ways. It could happen anytime that another way of offering comes out that may replace IEO.

Split that up into two. I would equally invest in Ethereum (ETH) and Monero (XMR). Both have been topping the charts. Of course Ethereum has always been in the second spot next to Bitcoin. Monero, on the other hand, may not be within the top 5 in the market but it has maintained its spot within the top 20.

It is just a matter of time before the entire world map will be covered in complete green. There will always be early adopters, those are the countries that looked at and studied cryptocurrency, and what it could possible give as benefits to their countries, earlier than others. Those are the countries that accepted crypto for the sake of their people. They are the models from whom other countries will learn a lot.

People should start using rational approach to the market rather than an emotional one. A lot are buying out of FOMO. That is one trap that will put them into loss. A lot are selling out of fear once again. That sealed their loss. They seem not to be doing steps out of their minds, many are making decisions our of what they feel. A bull run is not a time to buy, it is a time to consider selling. 

Litecoin is always one of the best altcoins out there. It does not matter whether there is halving or not for Litecoin to remain at the top. But of course halving is going to make Litecoin more advanced. This is going to be an additional reason why Litecoin is going to become more and more precious. The difficulty matters.

Circumstances like that really try your patience. That is the problem when transactions will pass through some middle agencies that are actually unnecessary. And the fact that the payments are not allowed in several modes will add to the hours of processing. Bitcoin would have made the payment a lot quicker and disturbances would have been completely avoided or reduced to the minimum. But then again, you should have paid on time. 

The altcoin bull run is just a waiting game. We cannot just push for it if Bitcoin cannot achieve its bull run first. Altcoins will rise usually after a bullish Bitcoin. While Bitcoin is still rising strong, the altcoins will remain below as they are negatively affected by the bullish demand of Bitcoin over altcoins. Let's just make some good profit from Bitcoin first for now.

But look at how the people of Russia is very active in cryptocurrency. There are even a lot of crypto projects that are developed by the Russians themselves. This goes to show that you cannot really stop people from supporting and using cryptocurrency even if the government itself is against it. Cryptocurrency is simply more powerful than governments. They cannot shut it down.

When you start trading, don't think of the money yet. Think of how to trade. Read some reliable articles or reviews about trading. Choose one trading platform. Perhaps you consider those that have large volumes and many traded coins. Create an account and study the different movements of the prices, buttons and what they mean, and so on. Only after exploring that you then deposit a little amount. You may start with .1 or even .09 BTC or 1 ETH.

No, you do not rely on the ratings and reviews given by ICO rating websites. They used to have the trust and credibility but now no more. They used to reflect the real and honest-to-goodness reviews of crypto projects, but now they will just give you stars and high ratings according to how much you pay them. The result and proof? Look at those who earned many stars and high ratings and how they are now. Many of them have already died.

If the banks will not adapt to the technological changes of the time, then they will probably be replaced. But then it is not necessary to compare banks with blockchain for this matter because banks could simply use blockchain as well. But if they insist in using whatever old and obsolete banking system they have and disregard the rise of blockchain, they would definitely end up outdated and then replaced with something updated.
