Je trouve ça hallucinant cette faculté qu'ont certains à cataloguer tous les nouveaux projets en scam (ou blague^^) dès qu'ils apparaissent  . C'est vrai que pour un certain nombre c'est le cas mais pas forcément tous...

Perso j'ai connu Xcash grâce à leur airdrop, et même si j'étais un peu sceptique au départ je trouve que ça peut donner quelque chose. La team a fait un chat vocal l'autre soir, et ce que j'ai surtout apprécié c'est leur transparence vis à vis de leur projet (ils ne sont pas là à dire "on sera dans le top 10 d'ici 2 ans" ou "notre coin est mieux que les autres, achetez tout", ils ont juste exposés leur vision du truc et leurs ambitions et ils sont conscients des difficultés qu'ils rencontreront).
Par exemple le wallet actuel a pas mal de beugs, ils n'essayent pas de minimiser le problème et admettent qu'ils doivent travailler dessus rapidement.

Ils ont investit pas mal de leur poche, ce qui est un plus aussi (même si les chiffres sont invérifiables de notre côté, le coin est déjà listé entre autre sur cryptopia et tout le monde sait que c'est loin d'être gratuit)

Pour les sceptiques je leur conseillerais de rejoindre le discord (il y a une grosse communauté active), et pourquoi pas discuter directement avec la team (qui est très accessible ce qui est plutôt rare)

Même si rien ne dit que le coin rencontrera un énorme succès à l'avenir (même avec une bonne team bien motivée, il y a malheureusement beaucoup de facteurs indépendants de leur volonté), ils partent quand même avec un certains nombre de bons points dès le départ  (selon mon avis)

I think it could be promissing, happy to be part of it 

Ce serait cool que les prix des récompenses annoncé soit vrai, j'ai gagné le maximum 

Hold is the best strategy if you can buy at low price (after the crash at the beginning of the year it's relatively that), I think the best is invest on small MC (for crypto like BTC, even if the price has fall it remains very high compared to the beginning). The best thing was to invest several years ago.

Everything depends how the market will go up in the coming years, but I don't think it's a very good idea to invest today for hold in currencies like BTC or ETH (just my opinion)

Depend too how much you invest 

I think many will disappear because they are useless but the blockchain is revolutionary on the technological level, some will remain.

I especially think that many competing projects will die, currently there are too many crypto with the same applications (only the best will still be there)

For the general trend I look coinmarketcap to know quickly in which direction the market goes.

To take position, after defining the trend I mainly use major supports/resistances (also i look at RSI or bollinger bands to confirm)

For general news, I go on the forums (and I check on the net the information I find, there are often fake news  )

I think a lot of people panic because they invest too much money (compared to what they have), in fact they put additional pressure on themselves (we can never repeat it enough, we should only invest what we are prepared to lose). Unfortunately some people attracted by quick profit invest too much.
And usually when we panic we make the wrong decisions, it's not great.

I prefer to see the crypto as a game, I hope to win but if I lose it is not too serious  (I didn't invest much at first)

I also think airdrop is a very good way to start without having to invest (just time  ), provided you choose them well it can even pay off quite well.

Then you have to know how to make your earnings grow by replacing them wisely, but this is valid in all cases (a way that can be interesting is to participate in ICO with the money earned with AD).
The risk is greater than betting on currencies that are already listed, but the reward as well (it allows to buy crypto at reduced price with often  bonus).

And since it's free money, if it doesn't work it's not too bad 

I don't think it's possible to get rich easily in the crypto market, otherwise everyone would be. But there are some possible ways (easy but risky).

We can choose to invest only in ICO, if the project is a success the benefits can be very important (given that we invested very early). But there is a great risk that the project will not succeed and everything will be lost.

We can also play with leverage on several sites, there again the gains as the losses can be important.

I think it's still best to find a mix between risks and rewards

I find KYC really risky about AD. With our identity documents, people can do whatever they want.

It's a fact that many AD are just scams, I don't mind giving a tweeter or facebook account dedicated to it, but my real identity is out of the question (even if sometimes it's a serious project, since I can't be sure I'd rather not do it at all)

With a few simple precautions there is no need to worry about making AD (dedicated accounts, read the rules carefully...)
The biggest problem is the loss of time not to gain much (many AD don't earn much, or even nothing at all), but by choosing them carefully you can limit this risk.

Personally I'm a fan of AD on discord right now, they pay well and it changes from classic AD

Nobody knows how long it will take the market to recover (if it ever recovers), it could take 6 months like 5 years. Maybe even if he leaves, we will never see a 20k BTC again (some say that this price is not justified in relation to its utility)

Anyway, I don't think the recovery is coming soon, there are still too many people waiting for it to start up again (there hasn't really been a capitalization phase).
And with the crash at the beginning of the year, investors will take time to regain confidence in the crypto market (unless it has good news about regulations)

There are many projects that aren't scams (I would even say most aren't, it's just that most of the time the rewards are worth nothing). In most cases the amount is indicated from the beginning, it is just necessary to inquire before.

Concerning the airdrop, it's not free: in general it is necessary to do a minimum of action (tweet, facebook..), which makes advertising to the project (distributing crypto to many people makes advertising too)

On the other hand for AD who just ask for an email and an MEW address, I think the majority are scams

I think the time is right to invest (at least much better than December 2017), after such a fall we can assume that the market will soon stop falling.
The best is to invest in steps, it reduces the risks (to smooth the purchase prices). Anyway I think if the market continues to go down much more, either the crypto is completely dead or the market will take years to recover (and so it will be necessary to return in several years).
If the market will start again, the rise could be rapid and it would be a shame to miss it.
 
Provided you choose your projects carefully and don't invest in anything.

Of course it can be interesting (depending on how much you want to earn). Even if most of them will bring you almost nothing (or nothing at all), some are profitable (and especially it's free).

The best is to choose them well (or to make them all), there will surely be some who will go far (personally I prefer to choose 2 or 3 interesting)
On the other hand it's improbable you'll get rich with it, but it can create seed money (to become rich after  )

The best is still to invest during the ICO, prices are at their lowest and there is often a bonus offered for those who buy. Of course the risk is greater than if the crypto is already listed, but the reward too.

If someone buys right after the ICO, it's probably because they've asked about the project (I hope otherwise it becomes very risky). So if everything suggests that the project is as good as taking a little bit more risk and buying during the ICO (that's what I would do)

High risks high rewards

Nowadays there are many ways to learn everything you need to know about trading. Many websites and videos can be really useful (even if you have to be careful sometimes, some advice may not be very wise). Some forums (like this one) are also a good source of information.

I think that the best learning is still to test yourself (starting slowly), each with its own method (some sites offer demo accounts, it can be really helpful to start without risks).

I think a correction is good for the market, that's what happens everywhere. On the other hand it would be necessary to define what is a correction and what is a crash.

It's undeniable with the rise that there was last year the correction seemed inevitable, but I didn't think that it would be so long and so violent.
What worries me the most is to see some ALT return to the price they were before the rise, it becomes pure speculation without any interest in the project (fortunately this isn't yet situation for all crypto but it could become it)

Obviously it also gives bad image of the crypto, after this crash it will take time to regain investor confidence

Altcoin are a riskier investment but potentially much more profitable (i you find the right ones and with an favourable overall market). The problem is there are too many of them, investors are too divided (and many are useless except for speculation).

On the other hand at the technology level some surpass BTC in many domains (if we look only transfer speeds and costs, BTC is obsolete)
For the moment it's mainly speculation side that's at play, I have the feeling that projects are taking second place 

My biggest regret is probably to have invested in December 2017 in full bullrun (without having any knowledge of the financial markets, and even less of the crypto).

My second biggest regret is that I didn't sell early January before the crash prices (because I had still made some profits)
However I' m glad I did it, I learned a lot and I keep hope that things will improve (not too much choice I don't want to sell at a loss  )
