The least of your problems will be spams in your email, mostly tempting but dubious giveaways. You may click such links in your inbox and be led to phishing site. If you are unsuspecting enough, you're likely to have your vital information(eg. passwords,private keys etc.) away. That will be more dangerous.

Banks and politicians can always try to drag the name of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies through the mire but this is the future money. It's become obvious that blockchain completely has more pros than the banking system. It's only prudent that the banks incorporate blockchain into their activities and devise better ways of keeping fiat and crypto working hand in hand.

It's best to wait and keep being patient. That being said, I suggest you keep trading because there are still people buying and selling whether in a bear or bull market.

Perhaps you might want to google "recent hack on exchanges" to get some good advice. Exchanges must be used only for trading as and when necessary. Leaving your funds in exchanges does not guarantee any form of protection.

I think mostly this may happen because ICOs may be somewhat banned in those countries so they may do a private sale to sell their tokens(Some are not even allowed to mention ICO in their sales but token sales may rather be accepted). Some also need some minimum requirements to invest while others may be looking at big tech firms because of the nature of their project.

The best thing we can do is to ignore these negative news and focus on advertising bitcoin and the blockchain technology in our own way. We can tweet good news, share posts on Facebook, twitter and other media outlets as though we were doing bounties. Every little effort will help bring bitcoin in the spotlight for very good reasons.

You can buy from exchanges right now. It's done massively well this year. Though we are in a bear market docademic is still increasing remarkably. They have a very good team that responds on time. I hope this project hits its maximum potential.

I believe in buying coins that have the potential of their project being captivate and having a real life effect in people's lives. Such coin, no matter their prices are likely to see extraordinary rise beyond everyone's imagination. It's more about product than the cost of the coin presently.

I prefer exchanges with high liquidity and volume. I wish all the lower alts were on binance or any of the top exchanges with good volume and liquidity. It is quite frustrating to trade on exchanges without volume. Orders just stay stagnant.

It's always the right time to sell bitcoin when you have mad e enough profit from. You could sell higher and start buying more when the prices have fallen. Someone may buy during red days and make some good profit while another person can buy in green days and make little profit.

What is the basis for your argument? 2.3K is too low though we are in a bearish market. Unless you have a strong point to support your claims I suggest you remain a little positive. Predictions like these scare new investors.

The current value will be easily surpassed. But reaching an all time peak is what may be very difficult to attain. The attacks on bitcoin this year have been way too many. People, especially new investors need some serious rise in price to attract them has been the case always.

I prefer ICOs to buying from exchanges after the ICOs have ended. You're likely to have a quick rise in the price of the coin immediately they are listed on exchanges then prices begin to decline especially after bounty rewards are shared. You may have to wait for quite some time before prices recover. And you get tokens extremely cheap during ICOs.

I'm particularly concerned about pump and dump coins. Some of these projects may not have a working project and yet they would hire so-called crypto experts to cause people to rush for their coin which ultimately do not succeed so prices continue to plunge.

Blockchain has been accepted already and governments and corporate individuals and companies are spending millions of dollars to explore the benefits of this technology. Most college students in the tech area are directing their steps to the AI and blockchain area.

I don't think the current market status has a lot to do with whales manipulating the markets. Whales can manipulate the market, yes! But too much "artificial" manipulation can lead to the severest form of FUDs which might deter new crypto investors. I bet the whales don't want that to happen.

Small capital basically makes it difficult for you to diversify your portfolio( you are not able to buy many tokens). this may lead to buying a few tokens and this comes with a comparatively lesser probability of success as compared to a large capital. Also the profits from small capital are very minimal so growth of the initial investment become difficult.

All airdrops I joined turned out to be measly amounts. It's almost a waste of time to join airdrops. But I think bounty campaigns are good enough. Bounties seem to engage you in forum activities and thus keeps you busy so they are definitely better than airdrops.

Ripple has a very large market  cap currently but seems to be quite stable/"stack" around 0.6 usd. I don't think there would be quick rise too soon, but in the next year or two it could definitely cross 5 usd. If you don't have patience enough I suggest that you study the current graph and sell quickly when the price rise, then you buy back more Ripple when the prices fall.

Not every coin is worth holding. Some will just become worthless no matter the time you hold it for. In crypto learn, be patient and go with your guts and never regret. It's good to set a target for yourself or else you'd hold your investments forever..lol
