I really like Basic Attention Token and ZRX (0x project) as I feel these two tokens will be listed on Coinbase in the near future.  I also like the Waves platform as it is one of the easiest and fast blockchains to use. 

There are cryptocurrency courses you can take that has actual trading videos.  @PhilakoneCrypto on twitter offers a paid course on udemy that has good reviews.  I would recommend you to follow him first though.  He posts up free videos on a daily basis.  

Buy during both.  Don't put all your money in during the ICO because it will be painful to not be able to buy more "if" the price drops lower than the ICO price.  If you're planning to invest $1000 into a project, put in about $500 during the ICO and save the rest to buy on an exchange.  

This year is the year of testing people's patience.  HODL if you want to see profits instead of selling at a loss.  It's been a rough year so far and I'm hoping the final months of this year will be brighter for every investor.  

Here are my recommendations of cryptocurrencies that have taken a non deserved beating from this bearish market:  Basic Attention Token, Waves, Stratis, ZRX (0x Project) and Loki.  When the market get's healthy again, these projects will prosper!

I wouldn't give up so easily.  There may be some projects that ends up being a scam and some that the price of the tokens ends up being minimal but if you just get one that does a 10x or more, your efforts are still paid well for.  Keep grinding and don't give up!

KYC is more of a pain than anything positive.  I prefer not to do KYC verification whenever possible.  I would not do any bounties for campaigns that requires them.  Sometimes, you have no choice to do it such as having a Coinbase account. 

I will always prefer bitcoin over litecoin and even over ethereum.  Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency and everyone involved with cryptos should try to own at least one in their portfolio.  Bitcoin is the king of cryptocurrencies.

There are many fake/scam cryptocurrencies and any more will be created with the intention of stealing money from people.  Protect yourself by researching the projects before investing any amount of money.  Never invest blindly.

The price seems reasonable for this barebone rig.  Anyone know how this motherboard compares to the octominer motherboard?  I have heard the octominer while running 8 gpu's is pretty stable, not sure how this 10 gpu motherboard runs. 

Everyone makes mistakes and if it doesn't kill you, it'll make you stronger.  Learning from the mistake is the key to prevent it from happening again.  Take it as a life lesson and you're just paying your dues.  Don't let the mistakes break you.

Invest it in the Loki project, the price has taken a huge beating and there's only one way but up from here.  There are major releases coming out in the last quarter.  Buy now and you'll thank me later.  loki.network is the website.

Someone probably just airdropped the tokens to random wallets.  I have a bunch of junk tokens in myetherwallet that have been sent to me.  I don't even bother doing anything about it.  It's an eyesore but unfortunately you can't prevent it from happening.

There is a fairly new project called Loki which will be launching service nodes (masternodes) in November or earlier.  Collateral to operate a service node is 45,000 Loki's and service nodes will receive 50% of the block rewards. 

I don't even know what 0xBTC is but there is no way it can replace bitcoin.  BitcoinCash is already having trouble and it has support from some of the largest members of the cryptocurrency community.  Bitcoin will always be KING!

There is no doubt that your money is always "safer" in the bank (FDIC insured) but then it will only earn you peanuts in interest.  Cryptocurrencies is risky even more than investing in the stock market but the chances of making insane amounts of money is much greater. 

Being educated in any industry is important but the good news is, in the cryptocurrency industry a degree is not required.  The industry is changing constantly and everything could be learned from the internet.  Self education and common sense is important in cryptocurrency.

When it comes time to selling cryptocurrencies, sell when your profits will make you happy regardless if the coin keeps going up even further after you sell it.  This will help minimize the regrets from selling too low.   

There are projects like Waves and Stratis which are coming out with huge releases this year.  The bear market isn't doing the project any justice.  The prices will rise significantly once these releases are released.  The Breeze Privacy Protocol will be huge!

Yobit has a bad reputation especially when it comes to their customer service support which is almost non existence.  If you are using Yobit, I would recommend only transferring in a small amount to trade with at a time and withdraw all of your purchases when you're done.
