if you take a quick look at their charts to see how the price has been changing in the past you can clearly get the answers you are asking here.

the charts tell you everything you need to know. you can clearly see each of these coins start at a very high price and then slowly but surely move their way to the grave. on the way down they sometimes have some short term pumps which helps recover a small part of the lost price. but that never lasts.

this trend will not change. these coins are designed like this, flawed with huge supply, no cap, nothing to offer, 0 adoption, and a lot more.
if you accept this fact then you can make profit. otherwise you are a fool with lots of wishes that most of them never come true. (no offense )

there never was a bear market to begin with. it was just a dip which lasted a couple of days. and by the time you created this topic it was over for more than 12 hours!

if you really find bitcoin price distracting then it means you have invested more than you can afford to lose. that is not a wise decision. you may need to rethink and start reducing the amount you have put in bitcoin to have a calmer life!

withdrawals sometimes take time, it is their automatic system that asks for manual approval from time to time. you don't need to do anything, the support staff will check and approve your withdrawal if there were no issues automatically and fast enough. you just have to be patient.

i kind of agree with you. i have said many times that China is just one part of the market, even though that part is a huge part of it. but also when a government in the world does something like what China did with ICO and calls it illegal then the fear will hit the market pretty hard.
and remember that ICO is not exactly the most legal thing in other countries either. they don't agree with it nor call it legal. for example i know SEC disapproves of ICO.

stock market is regulated while crypto currencies market is not.
stock market is huge but the altcoin market is usually referred to as penny stocks because of its uselessness and it being small.
you can not manipulate stock market but manipulation is a part of altcoins market and to some extent it is even available in bitcoin market too.
you can use technical analysis and speculate stock market with more effectiveness than you can do it with crypto markets because of the above points.
stock market has a open and close time, it is off on weekends but crypto market is 24/7

the "topics" say it, so it must be true, do you know any time before that these "topics" have been wrong?

18% drop after 400% rise is barely a bubble bath let alone be a "bloodbath"!

bitcoin goes down, altcoins get massively dumped!
this is the story of altcoins from the start. there is nothing new to it.

no the FUDsters are enjoying their shorts and making a lot of money from it while everyone is chasing their own tails then they will start filing their bags with cheap bitcoins again when everyone is asking when will it end and again they will continue to buy it up as everyone is asking will it continue rising or will it drop. and they sell again when everyone is saying i finally bought back after the drop ended and price went back up!

we all know that the only reason why ETH went up in first place is a combination of pumping and ICOs.
now that China announced ICOs illegal and put and end to their existence a huge chunk of the investors in ICOs will go away and also people are going to be more afraid now that ICO is officially illegal. so they won't invest in any.

the ICOs so far will also probably cash out their ETH soon.

what will you think will be the future of Ethereum without ICOs to pump it?
how low will it crash?

ICO has always been a shady thing and in many jurisdictions it has always been illegal to do. China is now just catching up with the rest of the world.... like always....

you are reading up too much into a normal thing and making in big in your head.

T.A. is never useless and whoever said it, is in fact a noob! but at the same time it is not that useful either. specially for altcoins.

you see the technical analysis can never factor in the manipulation that runs the altcoin market, it can not factor in the unpredictable stuff that happens in the world. like for example when Bitfinex was hacked last year you couldn't predict that with TA. or you couldn't predict anything when August 1st was threatening bitcoin.

i am not an expert in TA by any means but i have found that it is good as long as you use it as an outline to only get a better idea of what is most possible

i haven't really been checking this but what about Ethereum?

it is not yet PoS, so i am not sure how things will be. never cared enough to research it either but with your question i am thinking about it. the purpose of them to switch to PoS is exactly to earn more money on their premined ETH because the foundation is the biggest shareholders. so i guess we can also use this chance to make more profit. although you may need to invest in a volatile market which can go down and cause a bigger loss than what you earn as "profit".

but it is good to have this option in mind for when it actually does the switch and things become clear. crunch some numbers and see if it is worth the risk.

there was a website which looked very much like bitaddress.org and did exactly what you wan: create paper wallet for many altcoins: here is the link: https://walletgenerator.net/
it supports 150 cryptocurrenices already.

this is not a feedback on its safety though. i am just mentioning that it exists. you have to judge if it is safe to use it or not.

also remember that when you create a paper wallet you need to spend it some time. and for that you eventually have to install the original wallet and waste a lot of time syncing with the network.

we are already below your short term stop

and i think it is too soon to start the celebration and open the champagne bottles. for now the correction is at hand and it may last a while (probably a week tops) and hopefully followed by a recovery to test $5000 resistance again.
and remember that we still have the drama of SegWit2x coming to us in a couple of months and that will be a big headache which i think will prevent prices like $7000 until it is resolved.
it can actually act like August 1st and do the same "push". with a big dip before and then a huge rally afterwards even to 10K

it depends on what you are looking at!!!
if you are on this website: https://electrum-ltc.org/
or this github repository: https://github.com/pooler/electrum-ltc
then yes both of these are Legit but it has nothing to do with the bitcoin one or the creator of Electrum (Thomas V.). it is however a fork of the Electrum project and modified to fit Litecoin. it is done by someone trusted who is part of the Litecoin developers team.
https://github.com/pooler he is in https://github.com/litecoin-project


however, if you are on any other link apart from above, or you have downloaded the binaries and did not verify their signatures against the real key (http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0x6FC4C9F7F1BE8FEA) or verification of it failed then no what you have downloaded is not legit.

things you should be asking are:
- who has made the code, and who is maintaining it
- is it peer reviewed enough to know there is no shady thing inside
- is it tested enough to see there are no bugs in it
and since you usually don't compile the source code but instead download a binary
- is the binaries safe
- who is making them, and are they trustworthy (for example last time i checked electron cash binaries were made by an anonymous person)

yes you can. but you will still have 2 separate >140GB folders with the total above 250 GB if you want to run both full node clients.

i can not reproduce this issue. i just checked and things worked fine for me, i have successfully switched to Doge from BTC and back again without any issues.
it is possible that there is something wrong in your browser that is preventing the switch.

as a workaround try this link: https://www.bitsler.com/play/dice/doge
the same link goes for other games too, just replace "dice" with another game name like this: https://www.bitsler.com/play/roulette/doge

i won't answer your question but i can tell you that the answer to your question is the same answer to the following question:
do you think Credit Cards or services such as PayPal is only for knowledgeable and educated people who are familiar with the technical aspects of these services?

all these "focus" that you are talking about is called "pump and dump" and it always exists in the altcoin market, it is not new and it is not just now for new coins. it has always been around and it will always be around.
and at the same time coins like Litecoin that have something going on for them and interest investors in a more long term period (that just a short couple of days pump and dump) will continue rising. as you can see it passed $70 recently.

when you "trade" your BTC on websites like those which are exchanges you pay "trading fees" not "transaction fees" and trading fees in dependent on the platform you are using. bittrex takes 0.25% and cryptopia takes 0.2% on each trade.
if you paid $5 that means you paid 0.00108BTC and that means you have been trading with ~0.432BTC and that is normal.

transaction fees they take for withdrawal is always fixed no matter what. bittrex takes 0.001BTC and cryptopia takes    0.0008BTC which are $4.6 and $3.68 respectively.

if you don't like either of these fees you can stop using those services and use another one that offers lower fees. (good luck finding a more trusted place).

i am laughing my ass off here, literary.
first the link OP posted is the stupidest thing i have ever saw about a dead altcoin. if you think it is good then go here: https://coinmarketcap.com/all/views/all/#BTC and sort it by ascending price and you will find hundreds like it

second there are 14 posts already nobody even talked about the the coin that OP is bag-holding
