For me, my plan for my Bitcoin was of course to earn them all together from the crypto works I have already done and continue to hold them for the better because I truly believe that as time passes by, Bitcoin will become much more beneficial which is good for us users who are still into it. After obtaining a large amount, I think I can settle into building up my own business because I just cannot rely on what Bitcoin can provide so I still need to earn money in physical way and build my own house and do large investments which can be related into crypto to continuously obtain high amount in my account.

I think you can do both "Hodl or trade" because crypto prices are always constantly changing +/- and if you can get you timing right you can yield some good profit and we should also put into consideration the risk of price plunging down, so best strategy would be to stay up todate with crypto news and lookout for good/bad press or fud which could spark panic selling or demand for more Cryptocurrency.

The reason why the price of the bitcoin and etheruem is falling , because those people who bought bitcoin and etheruem like before 2-5 years are selling their bitcoin and etheruem because they need money or they scared to lose their profit and because of that other people are selling bitcoin and etheruem because they panic.

All alt coins will say that they could beat Bitcoin to increase their selling, but no one is going to believe it, even a strong coin like eth or xrp can't beat down Bitcoin, how can a small unknown coin beat down the king, so if some new coin claims that it can beat down Bitcoin just ignore it, a good coin will promote it's feature not boasting that it could bring down bitcoin.

Instead of thinking you are posting for merit just think you are posting constructively. I know it's going to be hard for many lower ranked people and newbies to attain higher ranks now but if yous persevere people will give merit where it is due.
Just remember to spend your smerit too and spread the merit where you think is deserved too.

You must research the coin, the team behind it and their white paper.You must know if the developer is active and ofcourse you need to know the roadmap. Do not invest in shitcoins unless your ready to gamble your fortune.Invest on the coin/token which have a good performance and high market capital. Its good also to have a target hold of coins instead of trading daily because of high risk of losing money.Just invest and hold it for longterm. Invest on a good coin which is already have a good background and you can relax all the time and dont stress your self.

Manything can be considering in a good project, such as:
- their whitepaper, clear and detail whitepaper.
- their website, having profesional website.
- their vision and mission or roadmap, make sure they have short term target and long term target.
- their team, don't trust an inexperienced team. make sure their have well known reputation and capable doing their project.
- the coin use. If their is no function behind the coin, there really is no need for it. make sure many will be interested about their project later.
- their community, their support and everything behind the frontpage. how dev keep comunicated with their community and being transparent with them.
- their ability to enter in a good exchange list and when they will enter the exchange.
- etc

Actually I do not pretend to seem contemptuous, but after several years as a trader in different markets I have learned that the best thing that a newbie interested in engaging in this exciting business in a serious and professional way can do is dedicate enough time to an adequate preparation of:

a) how markets work, 
b) what trading is and how it is carried out, 
c) and an extensive research and approach to cryptocurrencies,

since this market has proven to be very different from traditional markets and it is necessary to immerse yourself well in this world to understand its operation and the peculiar way in which this market seems to be more sensitive to the rumor mill than to the technical and fundamental aspects of the ordinary markets.

I think the best coin to invest now would be Bitcoin, Ethereum, XEM/NEM and NEO. These are the cryptocurrencies which I think will recover soon and would go back with a vengeance. I have high hopes for these coins, that’s why I’m holding and buying them if I have an extra money for investment for the future.

There are a lot of websites where you can learn to trade, you can buy different books on ebay which all covers the aspects of trading and you can apply this knowledge in any trading are, i.e bitcoin and altcoins. You can register for an online or offline course which covers all the basics of trading and once you finish it you have learned all the basics in trading. If you want to learn skills free without spending money then only Youtube videos can help you, there are a lot of them on the subject you are asking.

We are expecting so much changes related to crypto currencies, but i hope that theses changes will be in crypto currencies favour. In fact still most of the people do not have enough knowledge about bitcoin and other crypto currencies, but now we can see that people are getting informed from crypto currencies and they are giving very good responses, therefore i am hopeful that crypto currencies have very good and bright future.

Investment in Ethereum is a good decision as the price is down but I don't think ICO is a good option to invest you funds because it is very risky now a days to invest in an ICO. It is also very difficult to pick a potential ICO. So I suggest you not to invest in ICO chose some other alts like XRP etc. for investment.

Ethereum is a very promising long-term investment, in my opinion I think so. I also encourage people to refer and invest in Ethereum, I am also investing in Eth. Not only me but many other people like it too. In the last few years, that Eth has begun to grow and have potential value, it has been compared and competed with Bitcoin. Its foundation is quite solid blockchain with transactional programming functions, able to perform peer-to-peer contracts. Ethereum is attracting the eyes of investors, banks, politicians, and consumers

my biggest regret in Cryptocurrency is that first I didn't listen to my friend that is sharing me bitcoin way back years ago. If I was just curious enough by that time for sure I bought a lot of it, but we can't correct it and go back to the past. Also my another regret is that when I am new with bitcoin, I did invested and believe that HYIP's are real, by I became a victim of their scams.

It is never too late to invest in any market, the only people who see it as a late period are those who do not understand the long term benefit they stand to gain from the market and are so much focused on the negative side of things rather than seeing it as an approach to get in at a lower price.

No one knows about any golden age that has come and gone and for one fact, no one can see the future and obviously, dumb people will always want to come up with some unnecessary FUD or reasons why they feel they should not be joining the market, but in the long run, they are usually the same people who end up joining FOMO because they are so weak to make good decisions.

My answer to your question is yes and that is if you can find a reliable one. Getting a good ICO is difficult nowadays because of scam but there are still good ICOs out there if you can do thorough check. Alternatively, you can go for the project already listed on the exchange and trading.

Honestly speaking, bitcoin and ethereum are the 2 top competitors in the cryptos, besides from the 2 being different, since ETH is token-based and BTC is coin-based you can't really determine who really is going to be the topnotcher, the cryptos have pros and cons, some say bitxoin is unsafe, and ethereum is much more secured, and then some say bitcoin is investable rather than ethereum, but honestly speaking it really depends, for me investing could be great if you choose ethereum and trading could be nice if you pick bitcoin, so at the end of the day, I think both are great.

As a trader, i would like to give you some advice that do not blindly trade what other suggest you or advice you instead do your own research with the proper mindset and trading approach you will surely learn the basic foundation of trading. Trading is art where you need to learn from your own mistakes so you should at least practice your trading skills for 3 months on demo account or simulation website and afterward while trading live make sure that you take your first few trades on small scale and if your strategy is working fine then you can scale up later on. By this way, you will be mastering the trading techniques one day for sure.

Agree with your tips from us, beginners. My very tip from a beginner is START SMALL. Even if you've search well enough or you have experienced in other trading, crypto world trading is very volatile. Markets rise and fall in minutes some in seconds. Small means different things to different people. As a good rule, "Never invest what you can't afford to lose".  If you do this and have an attitude that you can win sometimes you lose, you will almost always have a pleasant trading experience.

Started to trade with a small capital and further increased my knowledge in trading understanding the market. Now have been making myself active into the process of regular buying and selling of altcoins for bitcoin. This is all because of the increasing market and growth with bitcoin. Hope will make a bigger earning in the upcoming days.
