A good option to invest in ICO projects at the Pre-ICO stage, then you can get a good bonus and then, after entering the exchange or through the hold time, you can sell coins +bonus and even if the coin on the exchange will cost the same as it cost on the ICO you still get a profit. But this is possible only if the ICO in which you invest is really good and not fraudulent.

You can make money on the fall of the market. For example, if you see that the market has started to go down, you sell coins and go into fiat money or in usdt, whose price is tied to the dollar price. Wait for the point where the price has fallen dramatically and the drop has stopped, at this moment you buy and get more coins than it was when you sold them. If you missed the moment when it went down, then the only true solution in this situation will be waiting for the price to return to its previous level.

Cardano is well suited as a long-term investment and for long-term storage, because over time, when its creators realize all that they conceive, Cardano is capable of showing multiple price increases and its community. Now it is, however, highly undervalued and it is possible to successfully acquire it as a long-term asset for the investment portfolio.

For storage and convenient use I use an online wallet in which there are many different popular coins: Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Ripple, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Blackcoin, Emercoin, Monero, Peercoin, Primecoin, Zcash, Bytecoin, Reddcoin, the possibility of exchange for dollars, euros, Russian rubles and Ukrainian hryvnia. I had no problems during use, you can also try. https://www.cryptonator.com/

Some coins do have a distinct national color. Ethereum is purchased more by Russians, South Africa citizens and India. But there are a lot of coins that have an international community, but still they are far from being compared to the Bitcoin community, which is really big and international. Probably, this is due to the fact that he does not have a team of creators who have a certain nationality.

Yes, Ethereum is quite popular, but I think that it's so popular that its blockchain uses many different creators of new tokens. The price of Ethereum will be high and grow until the moment when the analogue Ethereum appears, to which the creators of the new tokens will go. Now appeared and is developing Achain, soon to be launched EOS. Let's see where this leads to

I agree with you, in bitcoin I am attracted most of all by the fact that I can buy it as much as I want without any problems and use it without restrictions. Probably he does not attract me by these qualities. Few people can buy shares of some corporations in order to invest their money, but many can invest in bitcoin.

I read the forecast of one of the analysts and he said that due to the introduction of the need to verify the account and confirm their identity to all the owners of purses, such coins as Monero will become popular and this will increase its price. Perhaps he is right, but governments will not stop and will continue to follow the anonymity by introducing new rules, thereby dumping prices for them.

Forks, it seems to me, it's just an attempt to make yourself a quick and free advertising at the expense of the coin Fork is expected. Bitcoin already had Forks and a large number of Forks are expected for 2018: Bitcoin Pizza (BPA), Bitcoin Smart (BCS), Bitcoin Interest (BCI), Bitcoin Quantum (QBTC), Bitcoin HUSH (BTCH), Bitcoin LITE (BTCL), Bitcoin Private (BTCP), I think that these are all not having a useful idea, but simply a desire to meet the mercantile interests of their creators.

Sprouts (SPRTS) PoS coin is not new, but gives a quick return on investment. "PoS Reward - 10% 5 Days, + 2% for each extra day staking takes." This is information from the official website. Now it costs a lot of money, but once it cost $ 0.001, you can look at the chart: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/sprouts/

I believe that cryptocurrency this is not an alternative to traditional money, and their evolution. All in this world is constantly changing its form, meaning, technology and in most cases evolving. The same happens and with the money that earlier had a type of shells, stones, then evolved and steel gold, silver, copper coins. Today we see how money evolve and change its form and their characteristics go on a new quality, a higher level.

Today, there are more and more different projects that offer tokinize items of real estate, cars, precious metals and much more, so I'm not surprised that virtual objects are made tokenized. In the near future we will see more and more similar ideas and their implementation. Especially now many virtual things are sold, for example: you can buy a tank in the game World of Tanks, skins for Counter Strike and much more. Since the gaming industry concentrates money around, it means it will attract those who offer tokenization of their accounts, skins and other valuable virtual things that the players own.

It seems that this growth of the market is connected with positive news, as a result of which cryptocurrencies received large injections in the form of fiat money. Recently there were news that Georg Soros and his investment funds intend to invest in cryptocurrency, not looking at the fact that at the end of 2017 Soros stated that bitcoin is a bubble.

This shows that the cryptocurrency market is still very young and not sufficiently formed. Perhaps with the increase in the capitalization of cryptocurrencies, amounts of several tens of millions of dollars will not so much affect the market and prices. And speculators in order to increase the volatility of cryptocurrencies will have to enter the market with large amounts.

Bitcoin really went up sharply and if you look at the price chart, you can see that it did not just grow and gradually become more expensive, but quickly skipped a few hundred dollars in a few minutes, so I believe that it can be a gamble on the part of people with large capital. Such sharp jumps could provoke the entrance to the exchange of a large amount of fiat money.

As an additional source of information for choosing ICO, I can advise the project evaluation service, in which all registered users can take part. You can also register to be able to vote for projects in which you yourself participate and in which you yourself believe, it will help others in choosing a project for investment and participation. https://icovoting.com

I, too, have recently been more committed to the strategy of redistributing funds towards Bitcoin and Ethereum, because these coins do not lose as much price as many tokens during the price drop on the market. Although during the growth of the market it is better to buy promising coins, because they often show greater growth in the percentage ratio compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum. In general, it is impossible to stick to one strategy and constantly make a profit, because the market is changing and its rules change every day.

I believe that if you have a steady income, then it is better for you to buy new coins and expand their list. Because cryptocurrencies with the growth of bitcoin prices will also start to grow but faster than bitcoin and you, having bought them today, can get a good profit in a few months. I also bought DIME, XVG, ETN, I believe that they will rise in price in the future.

I believe that Airdrops is a good tool for promoting the project and increasing its recognizability even before the launch of the ICO. For the participants themselves, it is also a good opportunity to take part in airdrp and earn free coins and become part of the project community, but it is not always possible to get a standing coin, more often it is $ 1-3 and in this case you do not even want to be interested in such a coin.

I believe that it is impossible to give an unambiguous answer to this question. The reason for this is that some projects have a good idea and perspective, so their tokens after the release on the exchange can significantly increase in price and in this case it is necessary to buy tokens of such a project on the ICO or even on the Pre-ICO in order to get a bonus in tokens as early investor and get a minimum of +30% of the amount of purchased tokens. If you are in doubt about the project, you should wait and see what the result will be Pre-ICO and even then think about investing in the project or not. But there are projects that very hard to build Soft Cap, so in this case you can wait for the moment when the project tokens appear on ForkDelta or Etherdelta and buy them cheaper than they cost during the ICO. Suspicious projects are bypassed.
