At the exchange, buying is less risky.  Since after ICO not all coins reach the stock exchange.  Or you can wait for an exit on the stock exchange for a very long time.  Also often the cost of coins on the stock exchange is cheaper than on the ICO.  But this is the main observation, it does not always happen so.

For me crypto in the first place is a huge step into the future.  Not only mine but for all humanity.  When I came to crypto, I treated him only as an opportunity to earn money.  But when I began to study this topic deeper, I realized that crypto is much more than just earnings.

If you do not know how to trade, then you should not allocate large amounts for trading.  Beginners always lose, trying to quickly get a big profit.  You need to form a literate portfolio of altcoins and keep them for a long time - about 6 months or a year.

You do not need to diversify.  This is just the main rule of investing!  If you consider it useless, you can invest all your money in one coin.  Only here is the question - in what altcoyin can you be assured of 1000%?  And why do you think that this coin will bring you more profit than the rest?

It depends on several factors.  If I'm sure of the growth of the coin, then, of course, I will not immediately sell it.  Except when I really need money.  Very often the price of altcoins after entering the exchange is sharply reduced.  Therefore, in most cases, it is better to keep coins for a long time.

I sell some altcoins quickly.  If I do not see any prospects in the coin, or the team does not follow the road map, then I sell my altcoyin.  Also I can sell coins, which have a competitor with a lot of advantages.  But most often I keep coins for a long time.

I do not just believe in crypto.  I am sure that the cryptocurrency and blockchain is the future of our economy.  Therefore, I advise everyone to learn these technologies, it will be very useful to you in the future.  And now you can make good money in this area.  In a few years, there will be no such volatility in the crypto-currency market.

I believe in ICO.  But I began to doubt myself and in my ability to find from the whole heap of projects those that are truly worthy of investment.  Some projects seem to be successful, but they do not collect the right amount for ICO.

Since the choice of coins is very large, I look at coins, which are often discussed in the forum or in telegram chats.  Then I look at these projects, their ideas, roadmaps, product readiness, the team.  In a few days, I look again at this project.  And if I still like it, then I invest in it.

It is not possible to say how much is ideal for starting an investment.  You need only look at the amount that you have.  Of course, the larger the amount for investment, the more you can make a profit.  But also, the larger the amount, the more you can lose.  If you do not have a lot of money, then you can start with even $ 100

I believe that in the bank my money is just losing its price.  Since the inflation rate is much higher than the bank's%. And when my money is depreciated, then this is the biggest risk.  And in crypto, I can increase my money several times.

In order to understand when it is more profitable to buy coins, it is enough to look at the coins that recently entered the stock exchange.  The course altcoins almost immediately fall below the cost of the ICO.  Before they start growing again, you can easily make a profitable purchase, without the risk of a  scam.

I have 4 coins that I keep for over a year, and I plan to keep on.  These coins are ETH, Strat, Waves, ETC.  I believe in these projects, fully support these technologies, and I never doubt these altcoins, even when their price goes down.

The market can not constantly grow, it is subject to correction constantly.  And we need to learn how to use these corrections for our own good.  When the market is green, we make a profit.  At such times we should not spend all the profits, we need to leave part of the funds to buy coins when the market goes down.

The trend of recent times is such that it is more profitable to buy on the exchange, and not on the ICO.  Very rarely it is the other way around.  Most likely this pattern should change, otherwise soon investors will simply not participate in the ICO.

I practically do not take part in airdrops.  Because I believe that you can spend a lot of time on them, but do not get anything.  In most cases, airdrops are fraud or not very promising coins.  A year ago, I participated in airdrops, and these tokens have not yet entered the stock exchanges.

Waves is a worthy project. I have been holding these coins for 1 year already.  I bought them in April 2017 at $ 0.5.  But I do not think that this project will give  x100.  Most likely its main growth has already been.  And now from it you can expect about 300-500% of profit per year.

I like that you choose to invest a few coins, not just one.  The choice of coins is not bad.  But XRP is a controversial coin.  Eos is a good choice.  Maybe I would add a few coins, for example, ADa, ETC

I also do not like KYC.  The main precautions are 1. Do not participate in projects where KYC is necessary or choose carefully 2. Do not participate in the airdrops with KYC 3.  Paste on your copies of documents a personal entry - "For KYC" (watermark)

I do not think that it's a good decision to always be dissatisfied with your deals.  If you bought and sold altcoins, and you are in profit (even in a small), then it is already a profit.  And you should rejoice in it.  And in the future not to rush, but first to study the situation on the market.
