Because its creator is so great. Bitcoin invented with unique concept and came first than the other coins. In other words it came to digital world as Genesis "the beginning" of new innovation. Because of this it has inspired many coins.

The fall and rise of altcoins has a connection to the value of bitcoin. But not all depend on bitcoin because some coins are not affected by its fluctuation.
The market's slump of most altcoins is alarming and their progress is slow.  The birth of many ico is also a cause.

If every blessing that we receive has the purpose of helping the poor, I believe that the poverty will be reduced.  Anyone should have the heart of helping the world to become a better place to live.
 

Far from the fact that bitcoin will reach $1500. From my review in bitcoin graph its hard to come back to the lowest at its first price.  I believe maybe at $ 3,000 half its price now can be.

Everyone experiencing difficulties because of the market collapse but should not lose hope. With the abundance of successful ICO and beautiful projects, there are also many options that can be bought with promising coins

If you have knowledge everything goes well with you. Your head will not hurt because of trading error. The loss of money will be avoided because you have sufficient knowledge of investment and inducement.

When the market is red it's the good timing to buy altcoins because of low price. Monitoring your target altcoins to buy is important to avoid losing money.

The different stories of people who helped by altcoins to have a profit and fulfilled their dreams encouraged me to invest in it.  I read a lot of stories in social media and here in forum of how crypto change their lives and how it helped them to start a small business and increase their savings unlike in typical bank.

Nakakasayang din kc sa oras at nakakasira ng reputation ang mga scam bounty lalo na kapag ginagamit ang ating social media account to promote their ico. Sa website/whitepaper  pa lang malalaman mo na scam kapag walang mukha ng team or hindi masyadong expose sa mga social media at kulang sa information.  Kaya maging mabusisi tayo at dapat alert sa mga ganitong bagay. 

That's a good idea but make it sure that the ICO have listed on exchanges.  The difference is you cannot avail big discount during ICO than to finish one.

Not all coins get dumped when reached exchanges. My friend had regret when she sold the full amount of her bounty token. When  listed in exchanges suddenly got a lower price but partnerships came to that project and it gradually increase up to now.  She had learned, she saw the potential of the project to increase its value, next time she will patiently wait or hold and will not sell the whole amount. Communication and peace of mind is important.

In my researched and observation choosing a good ICO takes a lot of time. Need to know who are behind the project. Are they with expertise or has a good crypto experience? Are they trusted person? Can recognize also by constant communication.

If I have enough capital for investment I would choose to invest in bitcoin and ether (70% bitcoin, 30% ether). This two giant coin will definitely increase on this coming September to December. Both coins are good and potentially have a chance to get higher than before.

One of the fastest generating income is to buy altcoin or invest. If I have extra money I will buy or trade altcoins. Investing is one of the easiest ways to earn especially when you have no experience in business. This will run your money well, unlike when it is on bank.

What has been done by scammers can be a major impact on altcoins fall. Many scammers stolen a million dollars from investors around the world. Some investors may 'be afraid to trust and invest again or making an adjustment on how to recover from lost.  As long as there are scammers, altcoins will continue to fall. So doubly cautious and avoid the crook.

Unionbank also sees the benefits and support of Blockchain Technology in their banking system so it is the beginning that other banks will also have interest on it.

In the past few days, I realized that the speed of change in altcoins prices and I do not know if I should trust the green. Suddenly becomes red, sometimes their movements or changes are fast.  I should study what altcoins are better.
