The best way to invest is to put your trust in a diversified basket of cryptocurrencies. You have a top ten coins list for a reason. That said, you should always invest anywhere from 30%-70% of your portfolio in BTC, and split the rest among the top 10 currencies. OF course you should always remember to invest a bit more in ETH and LTC, but also consider some solid upcoming tokens like Nucleus Vision and AppCoins.

I've heard that Tim Draper and Ian Balina have joined the Nucleus Vision team. Those are usually good signs for any token sale, but that said, you really think the project will take off? They got a big bite to chew, for real, and if you want total transparency, how are you going to reconcile data privacy concerns?

No serious crypto-enthusiast would trust a coin launched by a bank, unless it had tremendous utility value. And besides, Bitcoin has far too much of a head start to ever have a Big Finance crypto ever topple it. Much more likely that ETH or IOTA (in an IoT-enabled world) would bring it down.

The Ethereum blockchain has a bunch of fantastic use cases, I agree, but I think applications built around retail, like Appcoins and Nucleus Vision are likely to take off first, since they drive crypto to the mass market.

I've heard of AppCoins, but what the hell is Nucleus Vision about? I checked out their website - Nucleus.Vision - and I think it's an interesting idea, but how come I haven't heard of them in a big way before?

I think the ban has been beneficial for cryptocurrencies, since it has helped generate controversy, which of course spreads awareness and bring more people into the cryptosphere. Besides, the Chinese ban is only temporary, i think. It will only be in place until they develop regulations around ICOs and exchanges so that the public is not scammed en masse. Right now, anyone in China is free to privately invest in ICOs, they just can't launch one in the country. Which means many other token sales around the world, like DreamTeam, AppCoins and Nucleus Vision are being driven by Chinese investors

Let me know the duration of the ICO? How long will it last?

Fees are only a problem atm. If your intent is to invest in Bitcoin and hold, then you won't have a problem, because the fees will come down once the network manages to scale. This is a recurring problem with cryptocurrencies, and will be solved once the currencies mature. But if you really don't want to invest in Bitcoin, try Ethereum instead. Not only is it faster, with lower fees, but it also has the potential to become a stronger currency than bitcoin, since it also functions as a network that you can build a decentralised application on.

Forget everything you know about Bitcoin, and start buying ETH. Once you're comfortable trading arbitrage between fiat and ETH, you'll find that you might even want to invest in a few tokens to diversify your cryptoportfolio. I suggest you begin a token hedge with offerings from nucleus.vision, cashaa and maybe martcoin. Check 'em out.

Can my data privacy be guaranteed?

I don't think so because there will be a threat of cyber security, network issues.
