You need HOLD bitcoin now due to the latest news.The current situation with government regulation suggests that bitcoin-ETF, that is, traded funds, will soon become a legitimate asset class. This, of course, will lead to a sharp increase in the rate of the Crypto currency.Interest in ETF among the crypto-enthusiasts is growing, and, probably, the matter is primarily in greed - the appearance of such funds will inevitably affect the cost of bitcoin and make it a more legitimate means of storing capital, as well as a means of exchange.Any economist will say that when the supply is already low and the demand grows, the price soars.

I believe that you need to carefully study each project in which you are going to participate. If you entrust the verification process of each ICO project to public or private structures, then it will break the very idea of ​​crypto currencies, which is total decentralization.

BitTorrent, in turn, was able to strengthen its services by joining the TRON network and exploring the possibilities of decentralized communication beyond the illegal file exchange.

I started acquaintance with the crypto currency world from the mining, for which it was required to carefully study at that time still a small amount of each crypto currency. At first I was skeptical about this currency, until I tried to exchange and withdraw my first income from mining. After receiving my first real money from mining, I went deep into other areas of the crypto currency world: exchanges, crypto wallets, new projects, ICO and bounty . And only after that I began to look at crypto currency not as a source of earnings, but as a real currency of the future!

Now, when the crypto currency market is just beginning its development, any operations with crypto currency are subject to hacking by hackers. For them now are good times! But the crypto-currency market does not stand still and continues its development, of which security is a part. I am sure that after a short time there will be an impenetrable protection of all types of crypto currency from hackers.

From July 2018, you can see that the course of altcoyins is for the first time virtually independent of the bitcoin course. I can not give a logical explanation of this situation, but I think that this should be. This will reduce the amount of fraud in the crypto currency market.

If to argue from the point of view of mining: now to earn one bitcoin you need to spend about 7000 dollars, by the end of the year, mining of bitcoin will become more complicated and the process will rise in price to 9 thousand dollars.  The difference in price and extraction costs should be at least twice.  So bitcoin should cost at least twice the cost of mining for one unit, ie approximately 22000-25000 dollars.

RaiBlocks with a high degree of confidence can be called the leader in transaction speed (7000 operations per second).  RaiBlocks uses a block-lattice architecture when each account has its own block.  The advantage of this approach is that changes in the chain of accounts can be made instantly, without acknowledgment of the entire network, significantly increasing its throughput.  But since RaiBlocks uses the model proof-of-stake, sending money is associated with two separate transactions.  In the first funds are withdrawn from the account of the sender, in the second - are credited to the beneficiary's account.  This is somewhat burdensome, but the operations are quick and with minimal costs.  In addition, this technology is very scalable.

Crypto currency market is just beginning its development path. Due to the fact that there are no clear rules for the behavior of crypto currencies, there is a huge volatility in the market. Thanks to this confusion, investors can both win huge interest from the deposit or lose all their invested funds.  If you are afraid of losing your funds, then you need to wait for the end of the formation of the crypto currency market. So you can not get excess profits in a short period of time, but you will be able to accurately analyze one or another crypto currency (as now the fiat currencies).

Of course, the crypto currency market is manipulated. Manipulators can be divided into groups:
1. Large investors Large investors may be, for example, large corporations, who suddenly decided to enter the crypto-currency market.  This category is able to manipulate all, including the whales below. 
2. Currency exchanges play mostly "quietly", but, nevertheless, it is often impossible not to notice how they "push" the crypto-currencies in one direction or another.  These players are always winning and, as a rule, absolutely unpunished. 
3. Large traders can appear as trustees of many people and play on speculations in a short time.  Such players are able at the right time to create waves that knock off the usual traders.
4. Large HODL'ers and miners. And finally, the least dangerous of the manipulators are players.  They maintain stability and growth of the crypto currency and only occasionally are able to shake the market when the patience of HODL'it runs out.

The rules of the game on the ICO market change every month. And the latest statistics of ICO projects says that many are not familiar with them. At the beginning of 2018, 44% of companies failed without reaching a softcap. Thus, today one can forget about the idea of ​​holding an ICO as a high-level phenomenon when the ROI was x400, but it is necessary to take this form of fundraising more seriously. The budget for marketing is growing, and the average investment bill is decreasing. To succeed, you need to have a prototype (MVP) and get approval from the crypto community.

It is possible that Google is preparing to promote its own crypto currency In addition, in May Google invited co-founder of the Ethereum crypto currency Vitalik Buterin, which the programmer wrote on his Twitter, but then removed this post.

In January 2018, the price bitkoyna fell to $ 6,000, and the percentage of dominance fell to 33%.  The percentage of Ethereum domination increased from 10% to 20%, here it is important to note that other crypto-currencies have reached a record high level of 25% dominance.  This is probably due to the explosive growth of the original coin offer (ICO).  The next restoration of the market share of bitcoin to 45% occurred in April 2018, then during the May rally from $ 6,800 to $ 10,000 it fell to 36%.  Since then, the share of BTC has been growing slowly and is currently returning to 45%.  Throughout 2018, the share of Ethereum fluctuated between 15% and 20%, the share of other crypto-currencies was 20-25%.  The recent rally of bitcoin from $ 6,200 to $ 7,500 contributed to the steady growth of the market share.  Perhaps, this rise is due to interest from institutional investors, as BTC has the greatest liquidity and, as a consequence, is a good option for investment.  Based on the data of the rally in 2017, a growing percentage of bitcoin domination combined with an increase in the price of crypto currency is a favorable setting for a major rally.

In 2017, it was-the cost of altcoins directly depended on the cost of bitcoin in the first place, and the cost of ethereum in the second turn. But for the first time in July of this year, altcoins did not rise in price along with bitcoin and ethereum, but on the contrary their cost became lower. The crypto currency market has changed!

Current price Litecoin is an unreliable metric for valuation, it reflects the mood of investors. If they continue to invest in popular new projects, LTC prospects will become vague. The last time the cryptonomete demonstrated a serious increase to the dollar, when there appeared a hope for mass use thanks to LitePay.

Bitcoin pushed off from the bottom. If now the crypto currency market will include institutional investors who are currently showing growing interest in digital currencies, then bitcoin will surely begin to rise sharply in value. The main obstacles to the penetration of "big money" into the market of crypto-currencies are its inadequate regulation, as well as the lack of mature solutions for the safe storage of digital assets. By the way, a curious picture is observed on the altcoins market - if not so long ago, most of the crypto-currencies followed the dynamics of BTC, this time they go to the red zone.

It is difficult to answer this question, since both these cryptos have their strengths and weaknesses. They both seem to compete to some extent with Ethereum, but none of them is good enough to surpass it at this moment. In the future, perhaps, but not now. After all, no one can know what will happen in a few years, and which of these coins will appear at the top. The only thing we can be sure of is that they do not lose their potential, and both do their best to develop their strengths and provide better service. Everything else depends on investors and their own preferences.

I agree that the KYC procedure is necessary. But how can I be sure that my data will be used for the intended purpose? I can not trust anyone who requires a KYC procedure. I would have given my personal data without reflection, if the ICO projects had been officially registered legally.

I like KCS tokens. The growth in the price of KCS directly depends on the development of the KuCoin exchange. Over the past six months, it has shown quite good results, despite the pressure from the Chinese regulators and a global correction in prices for most crypto currency.

Ripple is not a crypto currency in the usual sense of the word.  In fact, this is a settlement system designed to become a faster, transparent and safer alternative for existing ones (for example, for the SWIFT system used by banks).  XRP - the so-called Ripple coins - are used to facilitate transfers in various currencies.  In existing settlement systems, the basis for conversion is usually the US dollar.  The process is associated with additional costs and takes a long time - which is why bank transfers between countries often take up to 3 days.  Converting payment to XRP instead of dollars, the system saves on stock costs, and transaction processing takes a few seconds.
