The best advice I could give to a newbie right now is that you should take your time and allow yourself grow in knowledge of the industry. Don't be in too much haste to get things done. |Equip your self with proper knowledge, and set a target goal for yourself. Also learn to be patient if you are not already, you will need it for survival.

I really do not like comparing these coins personally. I think that there are both great coins, and from what I have seen, it seems the cryptocurrenxy community loves them both. I think that while they both might be fighting for the seat of king of altcoins, that doesn't really matter to me. I just know that in the next couple of months or years, they would be taking us to another level.

There are certain factors that determine the prices of a coin. The developer doesn't really have so much to play in increasing or decreasing the price of a coin. the only thing he needs to do is to make sure that he is providing a service that is appealing to the  public. The major factor that would affect the coin price is the demand and supply of that coin.

Well, seeing that these rules have been changed, and doesn't really apply anymore, and it is almost impossible to get some of these merits, what are newbies advised to do? Trust me, even the quality posts rarely gets anyone some merits these days. It is almost as if you have to sell your body to get one.

I don't really  know for sure why Buterin said what he said and if it is actually true. Sometimes, I try to look at it like it is just a bluff, and like someone said, maybe he's just trying to get the weak hands off the coin. I hope that it is what it is. Because I still believe so much in Ethereum and think that it can be great again.

I am a newbie as well, and I have been here for quite some time, and trust me, I have read countless times of how one needs to make meaningful post and participate in interesting threads to at least get a merit, but it doesn't seem like that works. These merits have almost become impossible to get, and the new rules are really frustrating.

I think that waves is a really good coin.. I invested in it a while back, and even the price of the coin started falling almost immediately after I invested in it, I still think that I did not make a bad choice with it. That's another coin we have a future with, and I'm pretty much glad I invested in it.

No body knows for a fact what is happening with this coin, but I think that we really should not worry so much about it. I believe that whatever it is that is happening now is for the good of the market, and very soon we will have cause to smile again. Ther's going to be bull in this market again, just trust that.

It is very possible for this to happen. I have seen and heard of stories where people made millions from investing in altcoins, but the thing is this doesn't happen overnight, or within the twinkle of an eye. it involves monet, effort, technical analysis and calculations, and also time. Don't go about investing in just any altcoin, and be patient enough for them to grow.

I still think that there is a great chance for this to happen, even without looking at the greens on the charts today, I still greatly believe that the market will bounce back, and we will have majority of our coins back to the number prices, and possibly even higher. It just needs more time. A little more, maybe.

It was so sad to see the coin drop below $200 few weeks back, and I think that this is the lowest that it can ever go. It would be heartbreaking to see it go lower than that, and I really hope that it doesn't. A lot of persons are beginning to lose faith in the coin, and weaks hands are dropping and selling off their coins. I can't wait for the revival of this coin.

I think that for an ICO to be really successful, and to reach their set goal, enough money needs to be spent on certain things. There is no project that  does not require money, it is just that the amount differs between each project, depending on what they are aiming to achieve, and willing to spend. I believe that for an ICO to be successful, an adequate amount of funds need to be spent on it.

Well good for you.. I hope really that it meets your expectations, and do not have to regret it at the end of the day. It is nice to invest in projects, especially new ones. Give them an opportunity to show themselves and defend theirselves in the market, but this has become more of a risky option because of the many scams that we have nowadays.

Right now, seeing that there is nothing much that I can do regarding this low market and the only wise thing left to do is to buy the coins now that they are cheaper, I have decided to stock up my wallets with coins I have always had eye for, but couldn't afford cos of the extremely high prices. I'm buying more BTC, ETH, Neo, and XRP.

Participating in airdrops does not necessarily bring big rewards, except you are participating in more than one st the moment, and you are just going to accumulate all of the rewards at the end of the day. many a times, these airdrops programs are only worth about a few dollars, sometimes, not even up to $5.

If you have your BTC on some exchanges, you might to first send them to your wallets. Most of the wallets that I use are pretty easy. Just click on the sell option, and select the amount of BTC you want to sell, after that the BTC will be deducted from your wallet, and you replaced with USD instead. You can then send your money to your credit card.

If I was going to make an ICO, the name of my coin would be related to something about the project, and that I do not know about now, seeing as I do not have anything in mind, and I have never actually imagined developing a coin, or crating a project. It would be nice to think about this sometime soon though. 

Personally, I make up a spreadsheet on where I keep most of my important informations. Passwords, private keys, wallet addresses, emails, anything thing you can think of that is important. It is easier to get access to them that way whenever I want them, and them I save the data on my flashdrive, and system.

Many people choose to mine cryptocurrencies simply because it is a good way to get a few more coins, and they want that. I don't think that it is a bad thing to do, just like people can choose to participate in bounties and airdrops, others who cannot do that, might just decide to mine some altcoins instead, even though it might be a little tasking.

I have always had a strong believe that both coins are great coins are both have the criteria of surviving the market, and an even stronger believe that ethereum is the coin that is most likely to survive the market conditions. But seeing what has been happening with the coin for the past weeks, I'm not certain what I believe again, cos it seems like ethereum is dying.
