ethereum has always been good, even if it had some troubles, i think you can trust it and invest in it fkr a long term

Yes, there a lot of competitors, but I think Lightning will help to overcome all the disadvantages of bitcoin (low speed, high transaction fees) and preserve its first place.
As you said, at least not for the several next years.
At the same time, there are projects that offer a principally new way of arrangement of blockchain (additional layers that can theoretically allow up to a million of transactions per second), so we should keep an eye on this new technology.

kindly check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provable_security, Ethereum is just one layer and it is not currently determined if they're going for layered solution for their scaling issues. Therefore, all of what's going on the network including executing smart contracts is convoluted in one layer. Cardano is fundamentally different, It has a separate layer for settlement and will have other layer for computational (smart contract) and in my opinion, has much more flexible language than solidity. https://cardanodocs.com/technical/plutus/introduction/

I think in the long run that is possible because Litecoin is really good and outperforms many other altcoins on the market. Litecoin is also a well-developed coin with experienced team so I believe in high value LTC in the future.

I agree with you, because I have been trapped in trading several times. I think trading is easy, but it does not and requires a lot of analysis. Maybe I need to learn again and now I just hold the popular coins for long term.

For me, to be honest.. There is nothing to be afraid of because if you are afraid of scams you must avoid it. Before going in to this crypto world. You must have a proper knowledge for you to know about coins, tokens, campaigns and projects. And if you have been scammed then take it as a life lesson. You should be careful next time. And one more thing, if you want to gain money then you need to trust and waiting is a must.

Agree. Everyone can say whatever they want -  future of bitcoin/crypto, next BTC, etc...
A lot of projects attempted to at least attain even half of the popularity of BTC, but, they failed.
And few months from now, visit this thread and more than likely the project that the OP was talking about is already dead.

There are about a thousands banks in operation in fiat world that are not decentralized and they ( greedy capitalist pigs ) do not think they are fools and they think they are doing just fine fighting decentralization to tooth and nail.

Any commitments are also subject to be changed in the future. For example if somebody sees a hugely lucrative  market that you could tap with a change of commitments it is a nobrainer move to make and it might be very possible to do without sliting any throat. You just leave the early adopters behind and retarget your customer base to be the new group that does not care.

Any commitment that you do not fulfill today right now but postpone for some unspecified later date is not something that feels to be important deep inside your heart and any bunch of customers that do not demand it today right now do not keep that commitment that important either. If it is okay to postpone it for some unspecified later date it is certainly candidate to be postponed forever and nobody would care very deeply it that happens.

Because there are much more money some centralized party can make without decentralization it is right to be sceptical of such thing happening later. There is just no precedent of that happening ever. Satoshi started the bitcoin decentralized right from the start and that was critical part of it gaining first acceptance. If you are able to gain the first acceptance and first huge market success to ripple without decentralization there is absolutely no incentive for you to do it at some later date.

From what I'm hearing it's because the money is in Bitcoin right now, so people are taking it out of their alts. But once they have enough, the alt market will become more attractive and then you will see things getting better there. So patients. I hope.

Altcoin prices indeed keep abreast of the developments present in Ethereum and Bitcoin. with its development, it is very capable to become a better future in the future. indeed with the presence of an increase in the development that exists in Bitcoin and Ethereum, it makes the spirit for Altcoin to have a high price too.

Yes ethereum is next level of bitcoin. So most of the people use the bitcoin for the future saving and ethurereum also use the future purposes.  So hold the both of coin and wait for the price increase. Then use it. Before buy and sell. you know the price information. So market place is important of the bother coin future process.

I hold this coin in 2018. I see the development of coins is very capable to increase when we hold it, especially in the long run. so that it becomes a distinct advantage by holding the coins we have for the future progress into a coin that can be worth the future.

it's really true what you say, and the exact time is when the market is red again and it's a very good chance to buy lots of coins to make long and short trading if I think

if seen from the potential of technology developed by ethereum is very good, although ethereum itself has been in the storm that makes the price down very low but will be able to rise again as bitcoin. the right choice for long term investment in ethereum in addition to its affordable price is indeed the prospect for the future will be much better.

once neo is fully decentralized and the upgrade to 3.0 is completed neo is going to be back in the top 5 if not 3 coins, neo has one of the better projects in the market and a long time hodl will pay off, i have been following neo and also hold it since it was AntShares and the future of neo is going to be pretty dope.

I agree with you, replacing bitcoin is very difficult. In my opinion, Litecoin requires a long process and a stable step follows bitcoin. But Litecoin also has a dependence on Bitcoint if bitcoin continues to climb, litecoin will be hard to catch up. Unlike the case if the price of Bitcoin drops.

Of course and in my opinion ADA was even better than EOS.  In fact, a lot of people are overrated with EOS. They said EOS as ethereum killers and I know that means if EOS raising a lot of ethereum through crowdsale and dump it in the market with cheap rate. That called as ethereum killers by those are overrated with EOS. Never try to invest in the EOS because that's crap. Ethereum never needs a mount worth of billion dollars to develop the smartcontract. EOS totally money grabber from scammers.

Technically, yes it does bring huge profit in the end compared to short term since But as a long term investor you should be ready for the risks you're taking. "the longer you have to invest your money the bigger the risks you can take". If you're thinking about long term goal like college fund or something, then long term investments may be suitable for you.

My plans are very clear i do both short and long term trading.I have been holding my investment for last 8 months still i am in profit from my crypto basket but i am expecting more return over my investment.Now a days market is under dip period and prices are low reasonable to invest in your favorite coins at low rates.I dont have any plan to exchange my crypto with fiat and to leave.Crypto is game of patience.Yup crypto is still surviving despite may govt intruding,FUD, ban etc.

Suggesting investments to other people is a bad idea, especially when it's something so risky and volatile like crypto. You have to make that decision by yourself and trust your own thoughts and actions. Don't expect everything handed to you on a plate... do your own research.
