I think Bitcoin would be one of the best coins to hold for long term but there are also other altcoins which are good to hold as well if you want to diversify your horizons on trading. And bitcoin has been here for such a long time, there might be better altcoins created but it has to keep up with bitcoin too.

Of course everyone would say bitcoin is the best coin to buy today but for me, I think you should decide for yourself on which coin you think would be best to buy today. You'll never know what coins are the topmost if you always rely on other peoples opinion. Do some research and choose among the the top 20 coins listed in the coinmarket would you think is best to invest today. And good luck to you!

If you are unfamiliar with how ICO works then it would be best not to invest in them, because ICO's are very risky to invest in. There is no assurance as to the project will be successful or not, although some say they are returning money to some investors if they are not able to meet their required cap. But to be safe, I think it would be better to just stick to those you are familiar with and invest in coins that are listed on some trading sites.

I think the biggest risk of holding Bitcoin would be if you would lose all the money you investing especially in trading and the money you got from joining campaigns; I think that would be one to think about when holding bitcoins. Because other than that, if Bitcoin does decrease there is still a chance for it to increase back again but if you lose everything; you are not able to retrieve any amount left when its all gone.

I don't think there are any other cryptocurrencies that can replace Bitcoin although Ethereum could be next to Bitcoin. And for these airdrops, I really don't feel any threat from these new coins because if they are compared to Bitcoin which has been here for a decade, it is beyond incomparable based on its graphs. And so basically I am not really worried about BTC's future as of the moment but if ever there are news about the government taking out Bitcoin then that would be a different story.

Ethereum is actually one of the best coins created aside from Bitcoin of course (that's given) so this coin will still stay here much longer than some have expected. In my own judgement Ethereum in 5 years would be the same price of Bitcoins current price now, judging by its movement and progression I feel like it is moving up but moving up slowly. So for those who have Ethereums in their wallet, better keep some of them in the future if you want greater profits.

Same here and it would be an advantage to get into trading while the price is still volatile because the market is still young, but once bitcoins price becomes stable in a few years you wouldn't like it anymore just like in forex trading. It may be a roller coaster now because of its price gradually increasing and decreasing but it will be a blessing too at the same time.

For beginner's I would advice them to read a lot about trading and the coin you want to trade as well. Always find time to read and gain knowledge on these cryptocurrencies if you want to be successful in the future. And as for the trading sites, there are no newbie exchange sites because once you deposit your money, there is no turning back. My suggestion would be to use Poloniex at first or Bittrex because their fees are not that big.

It could possibly happen but the end of February is near and bitcoins price is currently at $10k - $11k so I think it will increase to a price range near that amount like $12k more or less. But a lot will happen too within a day so who knows right, it could reach $15k on the 28th.

I don't think Litecoin is getting far from its price, it may be increasing its price now but it is due to Bitcoins price which is increasing slowly. But we will try to see what happens in the next few days or weeks if it does give in.

Don't mind those people who are saying Bitcoin is dead and would suggest for you to get out before it is too late. Look at Bitcoin now, it had risen from the dead, currently at around $11k+ now. Best thing for you to do is hold on to your coins and don't sell them not unless its an emergency or you really needed the money.

I think most people would suggest to just hold your coin it is because they are holding their coin as well because they think at the end of this year most of the coins will pump up just like what happened around the last quarter of last year, so they are basically saying that they learned their lesson and realized it was better for them to hold the coin with a much lesser loss than to sell them and buy them back again when there's another dip.

It really depends on your needs because if you need the money right now then by all means cash it out already! But if you don't need the money as of the moment and are a bit hesitant then you can just encash half of it now then if it goes up then it's up to you if you'll withdraw everything or wait until a certain amount until you'll get all your money.

Bitcoin or crypto trading is unpredictable too however since it is still new, you can still jump into the bandwagon and learn a few things to be a better trader. You also need technical and fundamental analysis with crypto trading if one must know but compared to Forex trading, the currencies that are there are mostly stable unlike in crypto trading it is not.

Honestly I don't think Ethereum will beat Bitcoin within this year however it is very possible one day it might beat Bitcoin in the future. We still can't tell when but for sure there will come a time Bitcoin will be overlapped with Ethereum.

That's great news and hopefully it works out too. It would be an advantage for those who bought Ripple at such a low price. Will be looking out for more of their news and keep myself updated too.

Sad to say but I agree with this, there are a lot of ICO's that are scamming people. Although there are some who have good ICO projects but I must admit there are more greedy people too. That's why we need to do a lot of research before investing our money into these new ICO's because people are more focusing on getting more money than investing in the project itself which will be beneficial for us.

The best thing you need to do is stop and just wait for the coins you are holding to increase to an amount wherein you can pay your mortgage. At first it is not easy but it will be worth it once you see the profits. And since bitcoin is trying to recover from the dip, take some time off and just wait.

That's good to know if ever Litecoin would be next to Bitcoin however I don't think it is going to happen anytime soon. Litecoin has been here for quite some time andit has not move that much ever since there are new coins created almost every month.

Waves I think is still a good coin to keep, I think there is still a lot of room for development with this coin. It is one the the undervalued coin that needs more improvement in the future and if developers work on that, this coin will be a huge success.
