FUN does seem to be an interesting project, probably the most "serious" one in the gambling section of cryptocurrencies. I'm definitely taking a closer look at it whenever i rebalance my portfolio in the upcoming month, for holding through 2018.

Its not only about money, you know. I'm in bitcoin because i believe in the potential the coin (along with many other cryptocurrencies) has to change our world into something better for us regular folk. Stocks and shares dont have that, they're just fluctuating numbers.

Well there's your answer i guess, lol. Ethereum reached 700 in the same day it reached 600, all crypto is witnessing an insane bull run. I hope it continues the same way next year

This is true. It'll always reach an equilibrium where it will be profitable to mine for someone. I think only a tragedy would mean everyone stops mining Bitcoin, or if the price suddenly tanks to almost zero.

They are both valuable in their own ways, but Ethereum is out to do much more than Litecoin, which aims to simply be a currency with fast and cheap transactions (which ethereum will also have). Invest on both, but if you have to pick one, go for Ether.

For your portfolio i'd recommend buying monero, litecoin and ethereum. All 3 are having a bit of a run now though, so wait for a dip. Their 2018-2019 is very promising, so any discount price you can get in now will be worth a lot in the mid term.

I dont think we'll see a crash soon. There are so many people first hearing about cryptocurrencies and investing now, it's crazy. We might see insane growth before a correction comes along.

Not all alts will survive, but the best ones definitely will - and they'll thrive in this new cryptocurrency craze that has been taking most of our society by storm. We have the chance to be early adopters for most, luckily

I think 2018 will be a crazy year. Many altcoins will grow exponentially, going 10-20x even... But i think some others will not be able to deliver a good product and will end up labeled at shitcoins before the year ends. Next year will be hit or miss for many with the increasing adoption of cryptos.

Cryptokitties was just a taste of whats to come. But if plenty of popular dapps start popping up too quickly i think the fee problem will come back to haunt us... We still need more capacity to withstand the huge crowd that is coming

I think IOTAs price will go sideways for a bit. Thats usually how it goes in cryptocurrencies - after a long and steep bull run the hype dies a little (which is natural) and the price consolidates for a few weeks. We can expect it to start moving again early next year.

I think the next few months will see a lot of money flowing into Monero. It usually lags behind other cryptos in gains but then makes up for it with some insane bull runs, usually (almost) doubling the price.

The discounts didn't last long unfortunately! Prices are already recovering to their previous support levels and we're headed into an unpredictable week with the futures bitcoin markets opening up... I hope there are no more 'red sundays' for a while

Pretty spot on. If Bitcoin dips too much then it is a good decision to switch back from alts to bitcoin (maybe not ethereum, but most others certainly).

I believe in the technology for the long term, so a short term dip is nothing but noise when you zoom out and analyze without your emotions.

Great point. I think that all blockchains that succeed will have to struggle like Bitcoin and Ethereum are struggling now in terms of transaction capacity. It shows that there is a huge demand for the network and that many people are trying to use it, and once the tx limit is increased, it's going to be insane in terms of adoption and price.

You've got a lot of reading and catching up to do if you're a newbie. Cryptocurrencies are no joke, and you'll be better off knowing what you're getting yourself into before deciding to invest any savings you have. This forum is a great place to start with, but also make sure you gather information from many different sources (reliable and neutral sources, otherwise you should consider it noise).

I really wish bitcoin is still seen as a payment option/currency in the future. We have a great and innovative technology in our hands, it would be very sad to see it being wasted. But first we need to find ways to enable more transactions per second on the blockchain, so that any number of people can use it fast and cheap.

I think the main disadvantage right now is that its growing too fast! The capacity of the blockchain is not high enough to withstand this many people using it and transfering their funds. Whenever we are able to send tx's cheaply and fast again, then bitcoin will conquer the world.

I always buy some bitcoin whenever i can. I dont even think much about the current price because i believe it will be worth much more in the future. Save some percentage of your weekly or monthly paycheck and invest with it, you won't regret it in the long run (remember to only invest what you can afford to lose without ruining yourself financially).
