I afraid to invest in the new coins.. because there are a lot of scams and I can't forecast the market direction.

I'm very nervous about it. Every day I wake up with the thought about how much money did my bot make or what the result of my manual and Trade Santa  trading.. it's too exciting after settings the bot to see the results of your efforts to configure it well.

our market is volatile and the short term investments are very relevant today. Unfortunately I have no time to monitor market changes every second of my life.. and I use the trading bot "Trade Santa" that trades my coins .. and thanks to the right settings it works well

Base on my experience many icos are scams and also they are not successful and most of the ico's failed to reach its soft cap. That's why you should be picky when choosing a ico especially if your investment is huge because it would be a big loss to you if the ico failed and i dont pick the ones with the coins that are not that good enough to reach or to advertise their coins. And also, knowing the team of the ico you want to invest is the best thing you can do in order not to be scam at all.

It's ok. Even if you're a pro, there will still a time where you will loss. But to minimize loss, then study and learn how to trade. Learn the chart. For crypto trading, learn Tech analysis, fundamental analysis and sentiment analysis. You can start by learning first how volatile crypto then learn all the trading signals so you can read and understand chart and learn how crypto move and what makes it go up and down. For beginner, it's ideal to start small while you're learning then invest little by little as you learn.
It will be great to learn how to trade manually and trade with free automated trading bot that can be set up in 10 minutes. But for newbies it can be problematic.. But I adore the Trade Santa bot interface because it's easy for understanding and using.

Experience will teach you a lot of great things. However, avoid learning about trading in an expensive way. You should just avoid becoming too emotional in trading. If you are going to trade the money you have earned through joining campaigns, you can freely do so. However, take note that trading is risky, even experience traders incur losses and some even loss a great amount of money on trading. You must have your own preference and strategy as a trader.

I think if you already have btc and you want to buy more - you can use the trading bots that you can configure to the market max and min. Last time I use Trade Santa because it's free and there is a good service.

In 2017 the optimal term to do bounty campaign is ±3 months..

This coins are still best to invest BTC, BCH, DASH, LTC, ERC. Coins such as this will be valuable since the demand and community is continuously growing.
But I afraid to do it manually and use the TradeSanta bot. Now I have 21$ profit since the previous week hah

Of course, I have a huge interest in blockchain technology and crypto currencies, first of all, from the fact that this is the technology that takes people all over the world to a new level in development. This, in my opinion, is a revolutionary discovery.
Later, when interest in crypto currencies began to grow, I decided to take advantage of this opportunity. So, to the first reason for the purchase of crypto currencies was joined the second - the desire to make money on it.

firstly, Learn the chart, learn Tech analysis, fundamental analysis and sentiment analysis. You can start by learning first how volatile crypto then learn all the trading signals so you can read and understand chart and learn how crypto move and what makes it go up and down. For beginner, it's ideal to start small while you're learning then invest little by little as you learn.

And I'm using ModulTrade, it's really userfriendly and convinient.

I'm counting on ModulTrade. That's the ICO of next trading generation, which really will easy trading for small entities and common users.

Coindesk thinks in 2018 big banks will start buying crypto.

"In 2018, things will be different. G7 central banks will start buying cryptocurrencies to bolster their foreign reserves. In 2018, G7 central banks will witness bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies becoming the biggest international currency by market capitalization. This event, together with the global nature of cryptocurrencies with 24/7 trading access, will make it intuitive to own cryptocurrencies as they become a de-facto investment as part of a central banks investment tranche. Cryptocurrencies will also fulfil a new requirement as digital gold".

What do you think?

I think it's impossible to slow it down or stop. It will end itself when people get fed up with all this scams and uncertanity

It's mytimecoin project, they are working on technologie that will allow to monetize the user's time in various services, so that the user will receive crypto for spending his time

I'm afraid if BITCOIN the bubble bursts, it will take all the other currencies with it to the grave only due to the fact that people who lose money will stop hoping for the best and neglect the risk and start reinsuring. Nevertheless, the very technology of blockchain will be super successful

Bitcoin is the same bubble as the mortgage and real estate market. Just the public is always suspicious of innovations

For me the most interesting one for now is mytimecoin project. Their idea seems a real trend. The question is who will be the first to implement it. And as I see, there are still no analogs in the market.

For myself, I chose this strategy - every month I choose a project with a cool idea, I study its background, I search for the maximum information and at the start of token sale I spend from $ 30 to $ 100. I consider this as entertainment rather than as an investment. I have investments in bitcoins and ethereum. But it can work. So already 3 times made. This month I'm researching mytimecoin. I waited when somebody starts to implement idea "spend time - get crypto" and here it is!
