We can not fully trust, but there are things, we can consider before investing, like the experience of the team, the quality of the whitepaper.

These small tokens are not that safe investments. For that reason, I think it may be a good idea to sell some, and invest in some top10 coins, in the name of diversification.

If people want to pay something illegally, they will use cash anyways In most cases. I see great future for privacy coins anyways.

The new platforms, Zilliqa, and EOS suppose to be better, considering the technology, than the older ones. But in the same time, they are not that mature, stable, as Ethereum for example.

I see your point, however, I think we have the choice not participating in an ICO, where we feel their token will be worthless. I know it takes time to research, and find the nice ICO-s, but it worth the time.

I agree with you, it is not good, that all the coins are keep going to the same direction. However, in the last couple of days, something different has happened, maybe this is the beginning of a new trend

It always happens with the smaller tokens. For Bitcoin manipulation, a very big whale is needed So do not buy small coins, when there is a price pump with no real reason possible to find.

Well, you only have to make a 3-4 X within a year, which is nothing special in the crypto world, so possible to reach. But the opposite too. And sure there are companies offering these size of fix returnes, but I would not consider joining them.

There are many factors need to be considered, for example what exhange it is listed. Every time a coin is listed in a big exchange, like Binance, there is a significant increase in the price before listing, but when it happens, people tend to sell, and so the price go down.

The smaller the coin is, the more volatile it is, and the risk factor is higher. But I think it worth to have these small coins as about 10-20% in the total portfolio.

I think the price of Ethereum will probably follow Bitcoin soon, so may would pick that one to invest now. But both are good choices.

That is true, the price does definitely not show the exact value. We can see this through the high volatility too. However, I think it should be around 10.000 right now.

I think at 6000 we were definitely somewhere close to the lowest possible Bitcoin price. Still see the bearish trend however, but the 10% growth today looks promising. With some strong indicator we could break through these resistences.

I am a big fan of the platform coins, so NEO as well. See great potential in IOTA too because of the special technology behind. Ethereum is still the best.

While doing a bounty, you can learn a lot, and losing some money because of bad choices are out of the picture. So I would say go for the bounty, and start trading when you feel like your skills are good enough for that.

I don't think it is a good idea to put all your savings to cryptocurrencies, if you are not confident in your decision. Start with a smaller part would be better.

I personaly use icobench, and icodrops. But I heard, that in icobench, you can literaly pay for the good reviews, so I don not count it as a very reliable sourse anymore.

I like the idea what Steemit is doing. But the whole platform has many mistakes, and also, reaching Facebook will be a real challange to any company.

This is definitely the most relevant channel. Everybody here in this forum is interested for the new crypto projects. Also, it takes more than a month to build up your forum level to even be able to participate in these campaigns.

The main reason in most cases is money I guess. Creating a cryptocurrency is an easy way of raising money. There are exceptions of course, who want to create something revolutionary.
