I don't think so, different person has different investment strategy and while some people prefer to hold for a long time, other people prefer to hold for a while and switch to another project later. I agree that smart holding is the key, the last year bull run is one of the good example of that, I sold most of my coin because I thought they are overvalued at that time and while I believe in the future they will reach that kind of price again, but it will take a very long time. I already bought back most of the coins some months ago because the price is cheap and I believe their value will keep increasing in the future. If I keep holding then I don't lose money but I will only make a little profit aswell.

I have invested in ico, especially last year and in fact I earned quite a lot from that, it is quite profitable if you find some good project with good team but right now the ico market isn't good and I don't recommend putting your money there as I think the ico market will over sooner or later because most people will stop putting their money there once they realized there isn't much profit to make.

Whitepaper is important because you'll know what you are investing in, what project it is, what will they do and how they will do it. If you don't even read the whitepaper then how you convince yourself that you invest your money in a good place. If you know the project then you'll know in the long term the project will success or not and how much it will worth in the future.

I agree that we maintain a very good support lvl at 6k price range but we still have that huge resistance at 6.8k, at least if we break that then we will begin our upstart movement but I don't expect something like bullrun, in my opinion the price will grow slowly with lot's of upwards and downwards movement, different with last bullrun where the price of every coin basically increase without reason.

I'm actually surprised that the amount of icos is still a lot even now, I think there's only about 20 or 30 icos going on but that stat shows there's about 90 icos in September. Although the ico that completed successfully is about 20%, but I believe only less than 5% will survive for more than a year. Ico craze is already over and I don't get why projects still try to set their hardcap so high, they should set it to a reasonable range, around 500k to 1 mill usd is enough for startup to last a long time.

If you are expecting another bullrun just like last year then you'll be disappointed, it will be a very long time until we come across such bullrun again, maybe in one or two years. 8 months is still considered early and I am satisfied enough with the price movement right now, as long as it doesn't break the $5k support then I'm fine for sideways movement for a year or two.

I do both, I have my share of coins that I plan to hold for at least one year and I also trade almost everyday, but if you want to trade then you should be ready to lose some money if you never do it before as it's not easy to do, I suggest learning the basic first at least until you can identify support and resistance level so you know the target price when you trade something.

I don't think ico is a good way to earn profit in crypto right now so in my opinion the only reliable source of income is by trading or long term investment, and that's only can be done if you have experience in trading, otherwise you'll only lose money. If you want to earn from crypto for a long time I think it is very important to learn about trading and investment as that will be your guide in this volatile market.

As you've said, there's numerous projects out there and we don't know which one that will become great in the future thus a detailed research is needed when you want to invest into something, personally I don't hold many different token/coin, I will sell the one that I think hasn't progressed in a long time and only keep 4 or 5 coin that I believe will perform in the future.

If you ask me right now I will actually pick bitcoin over ethereum right now simply because bitcoin is the better store of value in this kind of market condition, eth has lost a lot of its value because the main function is to be used for ico and right now ico market isn't that good, and there's tons of ico that have to sell their eth sooner or later to secure the project funding that can increase the selling pressure.

I think it's fair to them to ask for kyc when we are participating for an ico as it's done to prevent some kind of money laundering, etc and because the project is under regulation of some countries and they don't want to have trouble with the authorities. I also don't have problem with kyc on exchange and the reason is the same as above, the thing that I don't understand is when some airdrop asking for kyc.

No it won't, although crypto is famous for it's great return but that will be too far, for $20 to turn into 100k I don't know how high the marketcap have to be and the coin's marketcap will be worth more than famous company such as apple, amazon, and google. If you expect 100% return in 3 to 5 years than it is a good expectation as the growth of crypto will bring your investment value up.

Right now it's getting really hard to find a good project and even if I want to invest in something then I will search for one that already release mvp or demo because that shows the team determination to run the project. I've seen enough project that doesn't release their platform 1 year after their ico end so the failure rate is definitely high in crypto, short term profit doesn't work anymore in this bear market so long term project with great fundamental is the way to go.

New project doesn't excite me that much right now, maybe because the market is saturated with so many icos that I feel like this but most of the idea isn't new anymore and they don't show any effort to look better than their competitor. I think icos right now have to release the demo first so people will invest in them because right now there's too much ico that fail to deliver their promises.

Out of the three it's binance for me, I never use bancor so I can't give any opinion about that. I don't use decentralized exchange that much because there's only little liquidity there and it's hard if you want to trade, it's better to trade at binance, the only advantage forkdelta has is that it's a dex and you have full control of your money so there's no risk of the exchange suspend your account, but I will take that risk for better trading condition at binance.

They are different kind of coin so you can't compare which one is better than the other one, but if I have to choose then I will choose ethereum without a doubt as it's one of the most popular coin and most of the tokens in crypto use its smartcontract to operate, on the other hand bch is just a forked version of bitcoin, it's centralized and I can't see any advantages about it.

I always remind myself that this industry is still in the very early development phase and it will take a long time until crypto become big and used widely. That's why the potential of crypto is very big and although right now the price of most crypto go down since the start of this year, but their potential is still there and I will hold my coin until they reach their potential, I know that investment takes a long time to bear result and I've preapared for that.

I am not worried that much because I feel like we are near the bottom now that a lot of people from last December or January already sell their coin. The price right now even higher than my expectation as I thought we will stay at ~5k usd per bitcoin. It's good though now we can enjoy accumulation phase and the price will grow in a organic way unlike before.

I think bnb is a great token to have, and I have some on my portofolio, honestly you can't go wrong with exchange token like this as they are profitable as long as the exchange keep growing. I bought mine last year when binance is still new and I make quite a lot of money from that, I also have other exchange token like kushare and coss although it's not as profitable as bnb token, their value will keep increasing as exchange is very important in crypto.

I agree that there's too much ico right now and the number increased a lot this year so it's getting harder and harder to find a good one. I also stopped looking at this forum announcement section because it's impossible to read all new thread, instead I joined telegram group where there's a lot of investor like me that share information regarding interesting ico that they found, it's a great group because the icos mentioned there are quite good.
