First inform about blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. Learn all about it by tutorials on google or youtube. It takes some time but knowledge is very important before you start with altcoins. If you have not enough capital to invest I will suggest you to join a bounty for translating the whitepaper for example to earn some tokens or something like that.

How about Smart Cointainers? It is a project about Temperature controlled containers & IoT sensors on the blockchain.
The SkyCell company is based in switzerland. Smart Containers is a fantastic use-case for the transport of sensitive food products and pharma goods.

It depends on the price and strategy. But it is all about patience! Most projects in the field of crypto are long-term investments. Wait until the price will increase and sell when it is more profitable. Set your own certain limit and do not be too greedy.

Before I am buying an altcoin I will first search anything about the coin. I use google to get any informations I can get from it. There are many informative websites like icobench, icodrops etc. I will check the website of the project with the team behind it, the roadmap and whitepaper to find out what the goal of the project and the main idea is. Also I will check the community and popularity. Last but not least I will read the opinions about it here in Bitcointalk.

The best ICO to invest will be in my opinion:

Smart Cointainers! A temperature sensitive logistics project as a revolution for the transport of sensitive food products and pharma goods. It is a high-tech container provider in switzerland. The goal is to create the first fully autonomous container based on blockchain technology that will be very usefull in the logistics industry. The Smart Containers Group will track and monitor each container around the world realised with the help of modern Blockchain-based software and an IoT infrastructure. The public token sale starts in May. For more informations check my signature. Visit the website and check the whitepaper. You will be convinced.

The technology of blockchain and several crypto projects will be the future because they are very useful and can solve problems.
So gradually people will understand how important blockchain will become. And also how profitable cryptocurrencies are.

Smart contracts have just been released to testnet and soon will be the activation. And in future Waves also planned to release atomic swap. I will definitely hold Waves for the long-term.

To read the whitepaper is a must for me to find out if it is worth investing or not. It shows me if the project is attractive and professional. I can also notice if the vision, concept and plan is well thought out and feasible.

Worthless are those projects which have no continuous development and clear roadmap or vision. Already there are ICO which are scam from the start. It is much better to invest in altcoins with active development and real-world use cases.

I am still using MEW already for a long time without any regrets and have not thought of changing my wallet. Many ICOs and Bounty payments are using this wallet for transactions. Just always have a secure internet connection and beware of phising sites.

I searched for a long time and found a very nice one. I would suggest you the Smart Containers Bounty. A temperature sensitive logistics project as a revolution for the transport of sensitive food products and pharma goods. Another project with a real-world use case.

I am not using only one wallet for all my investments. So I minimize the risk and danger of hacking. My advice is to change the password (exchanges) every month and make minimum 9 characters with symbols and numbers.

You can make money if you invest in a successful ICO that gives you big profits. An other way is to participate in a bounty/campaign of a project.
Another opportunity to earn money is to trade or mining.

Token airdrops is one of a marketing strategy to promote a project and to get a large number of supporters. It is a good possibility to spread the news about the project.

At the moment my favorite ICO is Smart Cointainers. A temperature sensitive logistics project as a revolution for the transport of sensitive food products and pharma goods. It is a high-tech container provider in switzerland. The goal is to create the first fully autonomous container based on blockchain technology that will be very usefull in the logistics industry. The Smart Containers Group will track and monitor each container around the world realised with the help of modern Blockchain-based software and an IoT infrastructure. The public token sale starts in May. Check their website for further informations.

Crpyto means the future for me. I like the new technology (blockchain) and the ideas of some projects that could make big changes. It is not all about of making easy and fast money. Interesting and exciting to read every day about cryptocurrencies.

Nobody really knows when altcoins will be stable again. The cryptocurrency market is always unpredictable. But now it looks better than some weeks ago. I think the market will be stable in the next months on summer. But it will depends also on the news of the G20 summit.

The basic rule for investing in Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies is don't invest more than you can afford to lose. So you can always sleep easy at night. But if you have extra money just put it in solid and high potential projects. You have to speculate to accumulate.

It is difficult to predict the price of any coin in future. But we can choose those projects with high potential, strong development team and nice community.
One of a great long-term is in my view Ethereum or NEO. An investment in Ethereum can return high profits in future.

In my opinion crypto won't die. It is just the beginning of all. Of course only the legit and successful projects will survive.  A lot of people are already invested in cryptocurrencies but still many do not know anything about it. But the government can't stop this technology.
