Some people have even smaller capital then you do, so be thankful and work with what you`ve got. So, as far as investing goes, you need to figure out and plan the amount of time you are willing to wait on your investments. Either short-term or long-term, maybe in-between.

If by replace you mean to be on the same level, then I think it is possible in a matter of 5 years. It might even not be the an altcoin that exist today, but maybe other revolutionary coin that will be created. Chances are big that there will be a new most-widely used coin.

I don`t think that putting a big sum of money into altcoins currently is the best idea. I would advise you, if you definitely want to invest in altcoins, to invest only 5-10% of your savings into it have diversification among those 5-10%, so that you are minimizing the risks of losing it all.

I don`t agree that it is very tough to use this strategy on the market. I do agree, that it is tough to decide whether it is the right time to buy or not in any given situation, but don`t overthink it. If the price is now 30-50% percent cheaper and you still believe in this product, then buy and sell when the price goes back up again.

No wonder that someone would consider quitting the crypto currency when there is a dip in price, same happened in the beginning of this year. The market have recovered since then, but now it is in a dip again, perhaps it can be an indicator of cryptocurrency market instability.

I agree that more than 90% of the altcoins will die in a matter of few years. I am not even sure that Bitcoin or top altcoins will survive, because I expect something big happening by the end of 2018. By something big I mean another technology or altcoin that will surpass every single crypto that we have right now.

Would you gain any profit if you sell them right now? Are you doing it just to cut losses? You need to figure out the best strategy and the most productive way is to do it on your own and not with the help of someone else. You will learn from this experience.

I don`t think that he 2018 will be the pump year. On the contrary, I expect the market to go down by quite a bit. Slowly but surely. Still, I have a small portfolio as a plan B and if the pump were to happen, I would still gain from it.

I don`t believe any ICO in the first place. I have invested and probably never will invest in ICO. The risks are too high, especially now. Yeah, one could say that Ethereum was an ICO some time ago, but it was different there weren`t as many scams as there are now.

Now that the price has dropped it is a great time to buy cheap Ethereum and hold it till the end of the year or maybe even sooner. I expect to have at least 80% profit from my Ethereum investment this year. Maybe I am being a bit silly but I am an optimist.

The most common risk I take into account when dealing with crypto currency is hacking. I have a very strong fear that all of my hard-earned money will be stolen by some hackers. I would greatly appreciate a coin that could guarantee 100% protection.

Now it is becoming a mainstream. We can easily see the process going on as more and more people get to know about cryptocurrency each day. The crypto has implemented itself in the most popular spheres: Television, Youtube, Gaming and others.

Currently I believe that holding is the best strategy one can do. There is a bit of fluctuations on the market and I would recommend selling during those periods, especially if you had wanted to hold for a long term. It is a good time for day trading though.

There are more than three factors that creators of new coins have to keep in mind but the most important one is has to be safe. I think the safest coin will be the most relevant in today`s market. It can have decent transaction time and idea but if it is safe, it will be invested in.

Thank you for good tips. I have never systemized mine method but I think it is similar to yours. First of all I have to like the Theme and the main idea of particular project in order to invest in it. The protection is also on my priority list.

I have bought Ethereum and Bitcoin in winter 2018. There was a dip in the market so I have decided why not, the price was cheap so I used the opportunity. I will be holding them through 2018 and hope to get at least 50% profit.

It is very dependable on what exact coins you have. Perhaps they won`t grow because the developers have stopped working on the project or nobody knows about them, if that is the case I would advise you sell them and start from ground up.

The answer is pretty obvious when you think about it for some time. My opinion is that there are many speculations around altcoins and it is much more effective in day trading rather than holding them for some time. That is not the case for every altcoin but still.

I would never pick ICO over well-known coin or altcoin on the market to invest my money into. Too risky for me. The only way of me actually investing in some ICO is when I know personally the team behind it.

If I were to choose from two options of holding or selling Ethereum right now, I would choose to hold, because I truly believe that the price of it will go up in few weeks. Having said that, I am not sure that investing in any altcoin is a good move.
