this is the percentage increase in the price of Ethereum from last year, you can see that the price of Ethereum has increased very high compared to last year (326.6%) and the last 7 days, the price of Ethereum has increased by 24.1%;

and this is XRP price movement, we can see if the price of XRP has increased by 213.5% from last year's price and 7 days ago XRP price increased by 128.7%, so this proves that the price of XRP starts to increase very high this week;

but still the price of ETH increases very higher than the price of XRP for now and in your opinion the percentage of ETH or XRP prices will increase very high by the end of the year? is ETH still higher or XRP will beat it?

if I personally choose to invest in XRP or ADA, then I prefer to invest in XRP, because XRP is the top 3 on coinmarketcap, then XRP trading volume is higher than ADA, so that proves if people are more interested to investing in XRP than ADA and of course the price of XRP will rise higher than the price of ADA in the future.

I'm sure it's not until the end of the year for the price of XRP will hit $ 1, because now XRP price has increased to the price of $0.68 and the current high price is $0.76, so it is very easy for XRP price to touch the price of $1 or even more than that, because in my opinion 2020 is the year of the same bull run as 2017 or even higher than 2017.

I think Bitcoin is currently in a bull run and many predict that the price of Bitcoin will reach $20,000 soon and you can even predict to win a prize of $10,000 by predicting when the price of Bitcoin will reach $20,000 at https://coinmarketcap.com/bitcoin-price-prediction, then I think it's still the right time for you to invest in Bitcoin and get profit from investing in Bitcoin, because the price of Bitcoin will definitely increase very high and exceed the price of ATH ($20,089).

if I have $2k today, then altcoin that I will buy for investment is :
1. ETH (50% - $1k)
2. CTSI (10% - $200)
3. YOUC (25% - $500)
4. LINK (5% - $100)
5. UBT (10% - $200)
I chose to buy ETH for 50% from $ 2000, because I believe the price of ETH will definitely increase very high and of course it will give me a very big profit in the future.

maybe I will answer your question with my own opinion, so apologize if my answer is wrong or not according to your expectations.

what determines the value of Bitcoin is the market and investors, so the more people who want to invest in Bitcoin, then the price will definitely increase because the market demand is high.

every time, as long as there are many investors who believe to investing in Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is a digital currency that has been widely used by people for transactions, but Bitcoin is not legally valid as a digital currency.

every big risk must have a big profit, so I'm sure all Bitcoin investors know the risks.

it has happened before (some countries ban Bitcoin), but Bitcoin is still survive and now the price of Bitcoin is starting to recover and increase.

of course, because if you are investing there is definitely a risk, it's just that if the profit is small then the risk is also small and if the profit is big then the risk is also big, then Bitcoin is an investment that gets a big profit with a big risk too.

I think the price of Bitcoin does not matter if it rises very high, because it is like the price of 1kg Gold but you can buy it in gram, as well as bitcoin you can buy it with a small amount without having to buy 1 BTC.

but the price of Bitcoin has increased a very higher percentage than the price of Gold.

it is true and Bitcoin does not replace the function of Gold to print currency, but Bitcoin develops an easier and faster transaction system for the future.

Bitcoin will never replace Gold forever, because Gold and Bitcoin have different function, that is :
- Gold is a tool for printing currency
- Bitcoin is a digital currency for making transaction.

Cryptocurrency is a digital currency that involves Bitcoin and Altcoin, but the Cryptocurrency market is more dominated by Bitcoin, so I agree with you without Bitcoin then Cryptocurrency is nothing, therefore if people want to invest in Cryptocurrency then they must believe in Bitcoin too, because in my opinion for now Bitcoin is the king of Cryptocurrency, so if Bitcoin dies then I'm sure all Altcoin will also die (can't survive).

hi, in my opinion what can make Ethereum and similar projects survive is its smart contract system that can be used by new projects to make their own coin (sorry if I'm wrong), but if one day Bitcoin makes a smart contract system too and can be used by other projects to make their own coin such as smart contract on Ethereum system, then will Ethereum and similar projects survive? because as we know Bitcoin is very popular and many people invest in Bitcoin (BTC Dominance in cryptocurrency market is 66%), so surely new projects prefer to use smart contract from Bitcoin and it makes smart contract on Ethereum and similar projects less likely to be used (few will use them), so will that have a negative impact on Ethereum and similar projects?


*Note : I apologize if my opinion is wrong,
thanks.

I think that during the pandemic I actually made a lot of profit, because the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum increased very high compared to 2019, so of course I got a very big profit from investing in Bitcoin and Ethereum, because I bought Bitcoin at a price of $6,000 and now Bitcoin price increased by $18,569.42, then I also bought Ethereum at the price of $186 and now the price of Ethereum has increased to $503.65, so that's making my portfolio grow very high for now and I hope it will continue to increase until the end of the year.

In my opinion, what makes the price of Ethereum does not increases very high like in 2017 is :
1. ICO are not popular anymore, because in 2017 many new project (ICO) were using Ethereum platform and this made the price of Ethereum increases very high;
2. There are already many new project whose product are the same as Ethereum (blockchain), so Ethereum has a lot of rivals for now;
3. Cryptocurrency market hasn't had a bull run yet, because only the price of Bitcoin has increased very high for now and altcoin prices are still recovering.

I agree with you, but the most important thing for now is the transaction fees from the blockchain and I think EOS is cheaper than Ethereum, because there are still few people who use the platform from EOS, so if we do transactions on EOS the cost is cheaper and faster than Ethereum, but I prefer to use the platform from Ethereum, because I am used to using the platform from Ethereum (since 2017 when ICO was popular), so I hope that in the future Ethereum will develop its platform to make the price and transaction speed even better from now.

if in my opinion it will be difficult for other platform to replace Ethereum, because there are already many project that have used Ethereum platform and people prefer to use Ethereum platform because they are used to using Ethereum platform, then what makes Ethereum network slow is because many people make transaction using Ethereum platform, so that it affects the transaction speed of Ethereum platform and of course the transaction fees on Ethereum platform will also be affected (being very expensive), but I believe Ethereum will definitely find the best solution to make the fees and transaction speeds on Ethereum platform even better in the future.

I agree with you, because with the current situation (the covid-19 pandemic that has made the world economy down), but the cryptocurrency market actually increased and the price of Bitcoin started to recover (almost approaching the price of ATH), so this has a positive impact for cryptocurrencies in the future, because many people will believe to investing in cryptocurrency and that can make the price of cryptocurrency rise very high.

yes BNB coin is already listed on almost all major exchange (the best exchange) and that is because the project of BNB coin (Binance exchange) is very popular, so many people invest in BNB coin and it makes the price of BNB coin increase very high, but in my opinion if one day there is an exchange that is better than Binance exchange and Binance exchange is not a popular exchange anymore, then I'm sure the price of BNB coin will definitely go down, because people don't trading using Binance exchange again, but hopefully this doesn't happen and Binance exchange will remain popular forever.

Do you want to buy or sell coffee using a cryptocurrency payment method? if you want to sell coffee with a payment method using cryptocurrency, then I think it's not very effective because you need time for the transaction to be completed and of course the transaction has costs, so people prefer to pay using money instead of using cryptocurrency, but in my opinion cryptocurrency is more suitable for use as an international transaction or online shop.

It's amazing because you have a lot of coin mined and in my opinion all the coin that you mine are very good for long-term or short-term investments, but if I personally prefer Litecoin (LTC), because this coin has a good project idea and besides that Litecoin (LTC) is ranked 6 on coinmarketcap, so it proves that many investors are interested to investing in Litecoin (LTC) and it will make the price of Litecoin (LTC) definitely increase very high in the future.

actually it's simple, if you want to invest in cryptocurrency safely, then you better choose coin that are in the top 100 coinmarketcap, because :
1. the project already has a product and progress, so it looks like this project is not going to be a scam;
2. coin has a high trading volume, making it easier for us to buy or sell it;
3. the price is faster to recover when there is a bear run in cryptocurrency market.
therefore I definitely invest in coin that are in the top 100 coinmarketcap, because the risk is less than I invest in new projects (unless I think the project has a good idea and I'm sure it will give me a profit).

you don't need to be afraid or hesitant to trust cryptocurrency, because there are several factors that show if cryptocurrency can be trusted, that is :
1. Cryptocurrency always gets negative news but until now cryptocurrency still survives;
2. Cryptocurrency has a 24h volume of $ 275,319,911,944 and a market cap of $ 482,700,546,737, so this proves that many people are still investing in cryptocurrency;
3. Cryptocurrency can give you a fast and big profit, although the risk is also big (because every investment that gives a big profit will definitely have a big risk too), but you don't need to be afraid because the price of cryptocurrency will definitely recover when the price dump;
4. Many large companies will use cryptocurrency (an example is Paypal);

therefore I still trust to investing in cryptocurrency until now.

every day there must be an airdrop or project that distributes free coin and you can check it at https://airdropalert.com or on Bitcointalk "https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0", but if on Bitcointalk you better join bounty campaign too, although participating in bounty campaign will take longer than airdrop, but you can participate in bounty campaign and airdrop at the same time, so you can get a bigger income by participating in both (bounty campaign and airdrop).
