There has never been price stability in crypto, this is the most volatile market by nature and I don't expect this will happen anytime soon. On the contrary, we shall keep seeing large swings. You should know that if you are in crypto.

Bitcoin itself cannot be illegal. The use of bitcoin, exchange or trade may be considered illegal in some territories, yes, the same as they restrict imports or exports of certain goods. Not an issue in my opinion.

Coins run on their own blockchain. Tokens run on top of an existing blockchain, the best example of them are all the Ethereum or NEO based tokens (but there are also tokens based on other platforms such as NEM)

I think it depends on power consumption. Mining is no longer very attractive unless you have very cheap energy and power efficient equipment. Currently mining is not decentralized and this is in my opinion one of the problems to be solved in Bitcoin.

I don't agree with some, would add:

a - NEVER leave any bitcoin / crypto on exchanges. Store them only in wallets where you control your private keys. If you hold large amounts, it is wise to invest in a hard wallet.

b - ALWAYS backup your passphrase / security phrase / passwords / private keys, and have them offline or encrypted.

I don't think it is wise to speculate on the price of any asset, including cryptocurrencies. If you believe in Waves, then invest but don't forget to diversify and control your risk.

By doing your own research and actually spending time reading the whitepaper, looking at the project, if they have a MVP already or if it is just a whitepaper project, and vetting the team (google them, look at their linkedin profiles, see who they are, etc.).

The problem is that people do not do their research and invest in whatever it comes to them. So yes there are a lot of underperforming ICOs, but you should understand that you need to vet the project, the team, see if it could work, look at the fundamentals, etc. And only select the best ones.

Yes, they have a utility and the demand should come because of that. For example a lot of projects are based in the Ethereum blockchain so in order to buy those tokens you do need ETH, plus they themselves need it to run on that blockchain. NEO is also similar, some projects are being built on top of it. Bitcoin is not like that, it is a currency (it would be wise if you actually read the whitepaper, it is very interesting and you can find it in their website).

I think you should always have a hardwallet such as Trezor or Ledger, and you should keep it inside a safe, if you have a lot of Bitcoins probably even in a security vault at the bank. And the backup phrases also somewhere safe.

I think Viberate is really interesting project however I don't get why they actually need the blockchain for what they are currently doing. Can you please explain to me, now that you are promoting in this forum as part of their rewards program?

It was also my understanding. Need official announcement.

I also think this is great news, and I've invested in SelfKey because I truly believe the project is amazing. Some people think that the token price should increase rapidly but often this is not the case. Real money in crypto is made by holding on to the great projects, letting them mature, actually build and launch the project, and when tokens are actually used, then comes the real reward.

This is why it is very important to do your own research and read the whitepaper. A lot of people just contribute to projects that are shilled by some "opinion leaders" to their convenience, without even knowing what they are about. If you are not convinced, then don't invest. As easy as that.

With the ICO sold out I wonder when this campaign will close. Specifically signature campaign and when it is safe to remove them. Please let us know.

I think it really depends. In general yes, it is better for the tokens to be burned, or simply not generated. However not always. For example if you do invest in an asset backed crypto, burning does not really have an effect because the only tokens in circulation are the ones that have been sold.  

It is hard, government can't really control the blockchain but they can control converting into fiat because you would need to enter financial market (use a bank) for that. Unless you do OTC which are risky.

Crypto 101 - NEVER leave your crypto in exchanges, because if you do not control the private keys of your wallet, you don't have access to your funds. They are not yours (ownership = private keys), they are owned by the exchange (under your name, but only they have access to them). If the exchange gets hacked, or shuts down by themselves or even by the government, you may lose access to your funds. You should control them.

I still have my IOTAs however bought them long time ago. How do I know if my wallet may be compromised and what to do to prevent my funds from being stolen?

In periods of high volatility, you may wish to "exit" some positions in crypto. Instead of converting into FIAT you could just buy USDT which is pegged to the USD dollar value for the time being, and then you may want to buy crypto back once the turmoil ends.
