I believe Litecoin should be part of a well diversified crypto portfolio, in a smaller proportion than BTC or ETH. It is also big in terms of capitalization and development continues. It will have some moments where it will outshine all other coins. Not all of them rise (or fall) at the same time.

I actually have holded on my Bitcoin Cash and I am happy I've done that. I think there is space for both and it does have community support which cannot be said of other forks.

Unfortunately there are many scams in ICO space. This is not the first and won't be the last, unfortunately. This market is unregulated, therefore anyone can create a webpage, lie, manufacture a white paper and due their scam. Especially when so many people invest based only on hype rather than doing their own research about the team, the product, the idea, the advisors, the partners, etc.

No, it is NOT safe. ICOs are VERY risky. This is why you should actually do your own research, not only about the idea but also about the team, their backgrounds, etc. And diversify.

I've seen the most ICO projects and teams from Russia, but there are several that have not been really successful. This is why it is essential to do your own due diligence, research the team behind the ICO and not only the project.

Diversify man. I do hold on to my NEO but as part of a diversified portfolio which includes it. If you ONLY have NEO, then yes I would suggest to sell most of them and diversify into several other coins such as BTC, ETH, DASH, or LTC. But yes, NEO should be in your portfolio as well.

I wouldn't mind, although the whole point of bounties is to honestly support a project you personally like, so I would actually prefer to be paid in those tokens. I only do bounties of projects I really believe in.

Power Ledger is one of the biggest projects in the crypto space. However valuation in crypto is tricky because it has to do with the fundamentals, not really easy to assess. I did invest since pre-sale and will HODL for a long time (although took my initial investment back).

Totally different purposes and things. Both are mainstream so both should be part of any crypto portfolio. But you cannot compare one against the other, it is like comparing apples to celery - completely different.

I would add that you should never, ever give your private keys to anyone, and that you should always be aware of scams, phishing attempts, website spoofing, and all those things that allow hackers to steal your money.

Bitcoin itself can't be hacked (blockchain 101, for a block being altered you should alter all other previous blocks and mine them, which is impossible). However websites can be hacked or spoofed so you need to be very careful when managing crypto and never, ever, share your private keys or keep them in your computer.

Electrum will probably not support Bitcoin Gold. And there are no trusted wallets at the moment that can actually import your private keys which can work in all platforms (for example, I do have a Mac). Therefore you should wait.

I want to clarify, is the twitter portion closed altogether or only for new users? Need to know if I am still retweeting or liking AION tweets.

I think a shift in the strategy is always in order. I also think there should be better ways to attract more users and grow the community of supporters, airdrops are not a smart way to do it in the longer term.

I've received several airdrops but most of them are shitcoins - don't care if I get them free but nevertheless I wouldn't pursue them. And yes there are several ponzi schemes so you can't be too careful in crypto.

There are many factors regarding utility. One of them is privacy. Another could be mining or efficiency. Even consensus. And then you have the platforms and the utility behind them, which could also be used as currency. But you never know which one will stand out.

It may, but we won't see it. Will take probably centuries. Shared economy will revolutionize the world indeed. The governments will fight back because they want to have control of the monetary system and policies, but paradigms will be shifted in my opinion.

There are some decentralized exchanges, one of them is Radar Relay and many others are coming. I believe they are the future of Crypto. EtherDelta in my opinion is very bad and it is only used because it has no competition for "dumping" tokens after they get released because you can trade pretty much every ERC-20 token there, including those that are not officially listed (you can do it with the token address). It should be more developed in my opinion and those that will come, will outshine EtherDelta.

All coins have pumps and dumps. Many "investors" in the crypto space are newbies and get caught in the middle of them. In my opinion real millionaires have been made by holding (for instance Bitcoin), not by trading it.
