First mistake of investment! You never go all in no matter how promising a project is, diversify in different projects

the thing we need to understand with bitcoin is prices are in constant motion and sometimes a dip does not mean we shall not recover

So in a situation of a crash, i would hold and avoid panic selling

I do agree fees are outrageous at the moment but to continue enjoying the benefits it comes at a price and we just have to pay these high fees but things are bound to become better in a few weeks or so....

People find it hard to buy bitcoins when the choose to buy bitcoins with ways considered risky and do not have the acceptable forms of identification to prove they are the atual owners of the accounts

Bitcoin does not have the backing like other centralized currencies like the USD dollar, so we can not say that its the most powerful with other countries choosing not to recognise its existence and others going to the extreme to ban it but we are on the road to make it the most powerful

Ethereum only managed to be among the top crypto currencies at the expense of bitcoins failures but this will soon change if the proposed fork turns out to be successful as bitcoin gets its recognition it deserves. But we should continue to see ETH putting pressure on btc as the top competitor

activation of segwit2x should restore investor confidence and should immediately see prices racing to the moon as the long awaited phenomenon happens and demand raises once again

It all depends if the coin you want to trade in is available on the preferred exchange and also if you very conscious about fees as they each have different fee structure and the alike.
IMO i prefer to use bittrex to Poloniex but if you feel they are complicated to use maybe give http://yobit.net/en/ a try.

Blockchain is a better wallet in my opinion because you have the ability to sign messages when needed and you can import and export keys to another wallet with ease and there are fewer restrictions with the wallet as compared to Coinbase.

I honestly think other upcoming projects should emulate the level of commitment and professionalism that has gone into bringing this project to this level, especially during the ICO. Just hope to see minexcoin become a successful project when it becomes tradeable on different exchanges

It all depends on whether you playing for fun or profit.
For the sake of fun its okay to start with anything below 0.001 BTC just to avoid losing more money
and for gamblers playing for profit i think a fair amont to start with is 0.001 as this stake increase depending on strategy and limit set.

I certainly agree with you guys it won't be possible if things remain the way they are at the moment but should we receive good news come August we should see a soar in price and probably hover around the 5k dollar range with ease and  who knows maybe $10k could be reality with bitcoins unpredictability

That would definitely be my natural reaction if ethereum was to die because its survival is directly affected by these smart contracts, it would also have a negative bearing on them as they are dependants of each other... which would push people towards other crypto coins and see alts like bitcoin soar tremendously.

You heard right but with time these decisions will be overturned, no doubt!

Risk is definitely among the many reasons but I honestly think this has to do with it being decentralized which is uncontrollable by their central banks. And going to jail for simply using bitcoin is totally unfair!

Good thing you experienced the thrill of mining bitcoins, unfortunately, it is not as profitable as it was for small scale miners and IMO you made the right call to leave mining to the big boys.

I agree Eth might overtake bitcoin in terms of market cap
but before that happens Ethereum needs more time to adapt to the growing demand its having in spite being a young currency
as we saw recently network was congested such that some eth trading options and withdraws had to be temporarily suspended which clearly shows eth is not ready to takeover from BTC.

For now am holding

-Bitcoin
-Dash
-Bitsend
-not so much ETH
and holding some other tokens which am hoping will skyrocket as they are not worth much atm

Maybe a half a century from now bitcoin or another centralized cryptocurrency might have a shot
and for this to happen the younger generation of today need to be groomed on how to use the available cryptocurrencies and make this anticipated takeover possible.

Simple price fluctuations are acceptable but falling to the ground won't be possible that is why central banks are there to see to it this doesn't happen

Technically a weak or falling dollar(USD) will affect bitcoins in a way that you get more forex(dollar) for each bitcoin sold, making btc more valuable in this instance.

Hi buddy which question of yours has not been answered... looks like lady Royal has given the appropriate answers to your questions

if need be can you rephrase your question to get the answers you looking for

1: Bitcoin - (BTC) its the prime of all cryptos and has a large user base to easily grow its value

2: Litecoin - (LTC) not my favorite but happy to see it stick around this long without pulling the plug

 *Ethereum - (ETH) so much bureaucracy surrounding ETH just on my watch list atm need more digging about it 

On the investment side of things, cryptocurrencies are indeed better than regular currency but the drawback of cryptocurrencies is in some parts of the world they are banned and for somebody to use them they need to know how to use and have access to the internet unlike  regular currency that can be accessed online and offline depending on medium of storage.
