Your post gave altcoins a boost for me. At first I'm kind of skeptical about altcoins, though they're growing as well. Now, this is a handy to note, especially now where 2018 is coming. Looks like I'll consider altcoins for now, and BTC for some time within the year.

To be safe, use a hardware wallet as much as possible. Paper wallets work as well as long as you keep it safe. For transactions, you would need to double-check the address before continuing. Any mistakes made with the address input would result in goodbyes on hard earned cryptos.

BTC's a good investment indeed if you're looking at it long term, just be patient with it, since it's fragile. You might see your money go down sometimes, but don't panic sell, it's part of the game. Monitor each time, and be up to date with the trend about BTC. They'll be a right time to pull it out and make a profit out of it.

BitCoin Cash (BCH) is pretty different from BTC. In some articles about BCH, it tells that there will be low transaction fees for BCH compared to BTC. If you aren't so sure about BCH, then convert it to BTC first then USD, it's much safer that way, but you can experiment on it if you have extra BCH that you can directly convert to USD. Let us know also what would happen if you try the direct to USD option.

Ripple just hit $2.30 recently, BTC and ETH are steadily rising over the past few months, so I guess it's going to be good this 2018 for crypto. Can't predict though what could happen after these changes, but we can guarantee that the real game's about to start.

It's not actually. There are many factors that revolve around trading, like timing, demand, value, and such. Numbers and charts are also involved since you have to know the current status of something when it comes to trading it. Many articles consider other factors as well like expert opinions.

The simplest meaning of the term "obsolete" is "outdated". If there would be a new crypto that can replace the first crypto, then it's quite possible. Altcoins exist because of the concept of bitcoin, but they're not rivaling against it, just being an alternate to bitcoin. I guess when the time comes that a crypto aside from bitcoin is favored by the majority of the cryptocurrency community, then that's the safest time that we can say that bitcoin is being obsolete.

I guess for me, it would be easier for transactions and stuff, but one question that'll also might be brought up is whether or not an establishment is open for it. There's still a difference with having the physical payment onhand, and having a transaction through maybe a mobile BTC Wallet. Nowadays this becomes more and more real, but not that strong though in terms of adaptation.

I believe, yes, ETH can reach, or even exceed BTC's value. Being the second most popular and second most used crypto nowadays, I see no hindrance ETH's catch up with BTC. I may take some time though for ETH to catch up with BTC, but ETH is pretty solid on its own.

Will be including the signature immediately once accepted. I'll wait for a message if ever that I'm accepted.
Hoping that I'll be in. Thank you!

Probably the reason why others are against it is that they're not aware of what it's for. Sure there's money involved, but others just don't understand how does it work, and the reason why it exist. Another factor maybe is that they see it scaling high, thus waiting for it to come down.

Both are good actually, if you're on a long term goal, then go for an investment (and be patient with it). But if you're into fast phasing, and you're also up to making immediate profit, then trading is good. Just add an element of patience in what you choose, even in trading, since you'll have to wait for a right moment to trade either bit or altcoin you have.

Honestly, it would be hard just thinking of what you can do to 12 Bitcoins nowadays. Some might just convert it to cash then wait for the next dip so they can buy more coins. I'd say keep the trade open, since from what I read, it somehow came from trading altcoins. Try to save at least 3-4 ones, and either trade the rest and play with altcoins, or go full out on a campaign. And, if you'll be starting one, and are open for signature postings, let do let me know and count me in.

Altcoins are as much consideration as bitcoins. In some experiences I would prefer to have altcoins instead of bitcoins, but still, if we're talking about value, bitcoin wins. Altcoins are something nice to have if you're skeptical with bitcoin.

Well, if the organizations are willing to accept BTC or any other cryptocurrencies as a means of donation, then why not. One factor that I'm thinking of is that if they're able to utilize the coins properly. Maybe a good donation as well for them is to teach, or some how refer them to someone or something that can help them utilize those kinds of donations.

You're not late my friend. All the more you should start if you still want to be in. Sure the prices went up, it doesn't mean that it can't go down. Afford what you can if you want to start right away, since the party's just geting started.  You can also go for any coin that you feel like investing in it, but I would say, go fit bitcoin.

I do have a MEW, which I kept my keys on a separate storage device, and another one which is a mobile app for BTC. I seldom use both since I'm still studying the currency and its flow. I guess once I understand it fully (at least the main concept of how to improve my BTC/ETH earnings), then I can have another wallet, maybe a paper wallet, which is more safer.

I would say split it up. Have a bitcoin and an altcoin (Eth for recommendation). That way, you'll be on a more safer side since you have both. But, if you want to risk it, go for altcoins if you plan it on a shorter term of investment, and bitcoin for a long term. You can't guarantee though what might happen, and that's the risk that you'll have to take.
