if I think personally a safe way to invest in cryptocurrency is :

1. the project runs according to the roadmap and whitepaper that has been made;
2. cryptocurrency that we invest in already has a product;
3. the team always updates about the progress that is happening in the project that we invest;
4. invest in project that are in the top 1-500 in coinmarketpcap (have a high volume);
5. the project we want to invest has been running for a long time (if I personally never invested in a new project), because investing in new project has a greater risk than we invest in old project.

No, I am not buying alts because I think there will be another market crash before starting the bull run. Most of the altcoins price is not good right now and it can go further low, I am very disappointed by the EOS price. So, I decided to stop for a while, I have a plan to buy the ONT and QNT if the price goes more down.

President Xi Jinping in his Thursday speech said, Blockchain is vital for China’s future. Following this statement, the Chinese tech share prices surged.

Price manipulation happens in any market whether regulated or not, just go and ask gold holders they will tell you that Government has been manipulating Gold price for long time because they want to keep the price down, the reason why it seems so obvious in the Crypto space is because the market is still very thin as compared to other big markets

Please stop your whining here if your friend dont know nothing about blockchain and crypto then teach him so he can be independent

Don't let them invest in what they don't know about

how can you invest into somthing if you have no clue about what are you investing in at first place or is just about 21st century beg??

Note: This is not about how to identify good coins to HODL
This is about how you can be a good long term holder

1. You must have another source of income
Either in crypto space or outside crypto space you must have other source of income,there was a time when i used to rely on coins i hold for monthly income but most time they failed me because some altcoins takes more than a month to add value. You can learn trading or find a better job to get constant income for your daily needs.

2. Not all altcoins are good for long term holding
Some altcoins are too weak to have better value overtime,these coins only add value to price once in a blue moon,WHY?because the power of demand is too low and they have no working product,i belief that working product is what makes a coin have many more investors

3.HODL Only Altcoins With Real Use Case
There are different categories of coins with use cases,many use case are weak use case,for example using fashion  designer to back a token is a weak use case to me because it means you can only use the token to buy the designer wears and many will call this a real use case? no it wont do very well.
Make sure that the real use case of every altcoins you hold will be very reasonable,the products backing them up must be something that is different and will catch the eye of investors,the usefulness  must be outstanding .

4. Stay Updated Always
Opportunity comes but once as many know it,so always stay updated about crypto,read crypto news online and keep tracks on your altcoins so that you wont miss future updated or even token swaps,some altcoins i hold have already switched to MainNet and im glad i dont missed the opportunity,you can use blockfolio app to track your altcoins.

Altcoin season is what many are waiting for,even new projects are waiting for altcoin season to return before they get listed on exchanges,im sure of one thing and that is good things dont come easily,today is bitcoin turn to reign and one day altcoins will have its day as well.

Hinestly bullrun is the most awaiting moment of the whole crypto currency community ethusiasm, in the positive thinking side ofcourse hoping before end of this as early as well bullrun comes. Hope this sign is not trap for the expecting bullrun of the crypto community.

Right now the market situation is not so much to make any predictions but can do some experiment at our own risk by investing into altcoin.

But if we have to try something different by investing into a new altcoin which has caliber to perform well rather than investing on a reputed altcoins like Ethereum.  Kindly suggest which would be the best altcoin to invest which is under $1.

As binance is by far the best exchange with liquidity without a doubt
It has no deposit fee for btc

But withdrawing is 0.0005 btc which is kinda big there

Any other exchange with low Deposit/withdrawal fee that you can suggest?

A great site by Landak - https://withdrawalfees.com/coins/bitcoin

I just find this project. As I see this is one of few projects trading in profit (almost 2x in usd) after ICO? They have official ann thread here?

What you think more profit, participate in IEO or wait after IEO and buy the token from exchanges?

Is crypto included in the ponzi scheme to get rich quickly?
in most cases I have observed why people rush to get short profits, this is not a good way. I mean the decisions they make are not based on common sense.

This is not what you think, if you think that crypto can become rich overnight, you don't need to bother avoiding investment risks. You only need to focus on crypto investments that you think can make you rich.

but unfortunately the market says it's different, there is no way to get quick profits & all you have to do is how you can survive in this market. between a fixed choice with the same option or switch with another option.

I will choose Bitcoin SV over Ethereum. Ethereum is one of my favorites coin. But after the price collapse in 2018,  its price becomes very slow, so, the profit is limited in Ethereum. I care about profits in Bitcoin SV, even though I hate the Craig Wright guy's false statement! In the upcoming fork, I think both coins price will increase and both coin holders will get a good profit!
