Ethereum is one of the most popular platforms for hosting ICOs and it is without any doubt, the biggest competitor of Bitcoin. Ethereum blockchain has some extraordinary capabilities. One of them is that you can build smart contracts. Ethereum virtual machine is also another good feature of ethereum. The team of the project is very strong and Vitalik Buterin, inventor of Ethereum believes that his creation can show tremendous growth in future.
I think that within an year or so, the price of ethereum will surely be above 700$.

I totally agree with you. CIVIC is one of those projects that is sure to show tremendous amount of growth in future. The project is based upon low cost identity verification with help of Blockchain technology. The founder of the coin -vinny lingham is an experienced Blockchain enthuthiast and the team is also very strong.
I think within an years or so, the price of the coin will surely double itself. High returns can be expected from this coin in future.

I think that you should buy litecoin as it is very popular altcoin.it is almost 4 times faster than Bitcoin. Litecoin is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency that enables instant, near-zero cost payments to anyone in the world. The Litecoin blockchain is capable of handling higher transaction volume than its counterpart - Bitcoin. Due to more frequent block generation, the network supports more transactions as block time is only 2.5 minutes.
I think the price of litecoin will cross the 200$ mark by end of next year as it is becoming more popular everyday. You should invest in and hold litecoin as high returns are somewhat certain.

Looking at the current popularity of ethereum, you can expect ethereum to show amazing amount of growth in future. Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts which makes it one of the most suitable platforms for hosting ICOs.
The team of ethereum is very strong. Vitalik is the creator of Ethereum and he is a Blockchain enthusiast. Ethereum has shown good amount of growth till now Ms you can only expect a brighter future. I think within 3 year, price of ethereum would be above 2000$ mark.

I think the thing which will benifit Bitcoin the most is an increase in popularity. An increase in popularity can lead to a massive rise in the price of Bitcoin. An increase in popularity will increase the acceptance of Bitcoin on international level which will also aid in the growth of Bitcoin.
Awareness campaigns can help people to understand the technology of Bitcoin and it will encourage people to invest in Bitcoin which will increase the demand of Bitcoin which will also help Bitcoin to achieve a higher price.

You can earn Bitcoin by participating in signature campaigns and social media campaigns like Twitter and Facebook campaign. Participating in these campaigns is the easiest way to earn BTC.
You can also earn a healthy amount of BTC by trading and investing the coins you have. But both trading and investing are risky.
Trading involved the risks of markets. You can invest in a scam if you don't research properly so investing is also a bit risky.
You can also earn small amounts of BTC by lending your coins and earning interests.

according to me, the only altcoins that might be able to survive in the future are the coins which are really popular and have a really strong developement team. I believe that ETHEREUM, CIVIC, LITECOIN, MONERO and SIACOIN are the coins which will surely survive as all of these coins have a very unique and interesting Concept. Ethereum for its smart contracts, civic for low cost identity verification, siacoin for decentralized clouds storage, litecoin for its fast transactions and monero for its completely anonymous nature.
All of these coins night help you good amounts of returns in future.

Looking at the increase in value of Bitcoin in the previous hard fork, you can expect the value of Bitcoin to increase to a very high level. The value of Bitcoin can possibly climb above 5500$ mark. You will also gain some Bitcoin gold if you hold your Bitcoins and the value of Bitcoin gold can be around 500$ as well. So you can expect very high returns, if you hold your coins.
Holding altcoins is not a good option as increase in value of Bitcoin will surely lead to a blood bath in altcoin market. The value of altcoins will surely reduce to a very large extent of price of Bitcoin goes up.

In five years, you can expect the price of ethereum to be near 1500-2000$ for sure as ethereum is one of the most popular cryptocurrencies available in the market right now. It is currently, the most used platform for new tokens and ICOs. The most important features of ethereum include smart contracts and fast transactions.
The team of ethereum is also very strong and the founder of the coin - Vitalik Buterin knows how to take his creation to top of the crypto world.

I think both holding and trading have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Trading is an effective way to earn huge profits in a very short interval of time but it's very risky as crypto market is highly volatile and you can loose all you have in a single unlucky day.
Holding Bitcoin on the other hand is very safe and you can surely expect growth in long term but the rate of growth will relatively slow as compared to trading.
I prefer to play safe and I think holding is better option.

Yes, I think right now is a very good time to buy all these coins as all of these coins are still available at a very low price and you can expect very high returns in the long run.
I think you should definitely buy SIACOIN as it is highly undervalued. It is a project based upon idea of decentralized cloud storage.
Digibyte is also still available at a very low price. In 2016, Microsoft nominated DigiByte Holdings to the Microsoft BizSpark so we can expect healthy amount of growth from DGB too.

Waves is a coin you should hold for long term investment as it is regarded as an ethereum killer by many. It is believed that waves is the coin which will replace ethereum and will become the most used platform for hosting ICOs.
predicted price of waves near 30$ in 3 years so Very high returns can be expected from waves.

I don't think that it would be a very wise decision to go all in and risk your whole life's earning into Bitcoins only or any other investment for that matter because DIVERSIFICATION is the only thing which can save you from the risks of market. CRYPTO market is very volatile and investment made only in Bitcoin is very risky.
If you want to invest, you can invest 25 percent of your wealth in Bitcoin and crypto and diversify the rest.

The two things that encourage me the most to invest in any altcoin are the popularity and the rate of growth of that coin. Other things like concept of the coin and team also matter. The popularity of the coin is important because the popularity of the coin decides it's acceptance. The popular the coin, the higher the acceptance.
The rate of growth also matters as higher rates of growth makes the investment in the coin more profitable.
A strong and unique concept of coin and a strong team is also a positive aspect to look at.

I think the world of crypto is very volatile and diversification is your best approach to reduce the risks of market and to increase your chances of profit.
According to me you should invest in all of these coins [BTC, LTC, ETH & BCC] as all of these coins are very popular. All of these coins have shown good amount of growth in past and same can be expected from them in future.

I think many altcoins have the potential to be successful if you are willing to hold them for long term and ethereum, siacoin and golem are my top three picks.
Golem is a decentralized super computer and anyone who owns golem can access it easily.
Ethereum as it is currently the most used platform for hiding ICOs.
SIACOIN is decentralized cloud storage and I think it's currently undervalued.
All these coims can help you earn good amounts of profits in the long run.

I don't think Bitcoin will be able to replace Bitcoin within 15 years simply because dollar can be used offline but the use of Bitcoin required Internet.
Dollar is the most popular currency in the entire world and it is accepted almost everywhere and by everyone in this world. Whereas Bitcoin is not that popular. Bitcoin is seen mostly as an investment by many.

Waves has a very bright future according to me.
I regard waves as the ethereum killer and I believe that it will replace ethereum in future and it will become the most used platform for ICOs. It has a lot of potential and Waves can show tremendous amount of growth in future.
In 5 years the price of waves can be 50$.

The three things are look for in an ICO are :

IDEA- a project based on a unique idea has a higher potential than a project based upon a copied idea. the chances of growth are also high for a project based upon unique idea.

TEAM - a strong and experienced team will spend your invested money wisely and will try to ensure that the project is successful.

WORKING PRODUCT - a working product helps you to judge of the project is legit or not.

I think ethereum is one of those coins which are sure to grow in future as it is one of the most popular crypto currency available in the market right now.
It is currently the most used platform for ICOs and new projects.
It has a really strong development team.
I think the price of ethereum will cross the 1000$ mark within an year or so and investment in ethereum can help you earn high returns.
