In my case, it's not like the government doesn't like, it's just that the government is being cautious in promoting the cryptocurrency market because the central bank has been very doubtful of the market because of how volatile and unpredictable it is, plus the news that many people have been scammed or victimized by shady characters involved in this market, so I can't blame them for being cautious. But, I could also say that a lot of people are really supporting the cryptocurrency market and are always looking forward of the good changes it can bring.

Ripple is better suited for a short term investment, I think. I say that because its value is low, but it's growth percentage is quite high. If you view coin value database in several sites, you would see that Ripple usually is in the top five of the coins that show good movement. With that said, if you have a fair amount of capital, you can get a good amount of coin because the value is low. But since its movements always show good return in a short while, then you can dispose off it quickly and easily for a fair margin of profit.

It is. Also, Ethereum for many users, including myself, is a safe and reliable investment. I am not saying that there would be zero risks because that's impossible in this market, but at least, with Ethereum, you can say that it could hold its ground better when the market is not doing well. However, on the other hand, it gains really slow compared to other high-tier altcoins, thus, it better fits a long term investment, so if you are eyeing for one, then Ethereum would be a good option.

I agree; however, that depends on how you view it. Remember that there are seemingly millions of ICOs popping in the market every second, therefore, it is really very hard to determine which ones of them will prosper and which ones are destined to fail without really looking closely at it. I think what makes ICOs good investments is the fact that it can be realized in a few months as compared to other ventures that could take years; however, even if you would not have to wait for a long time. The uncertainty and risk of investing is always there, and so, one should still be ready for probable loses.

That's right, it's legalized in some and it's illegal in some as well. Every country has their own views to what cryptocurrencies are and what it can do for their local market systems. Some view it as helpful, which in turn, these countries use them to explore ways to earn money and convince people to do more business and transactions using them, while other countries view them as something that could turn into a problem in the future, thus, they try to control it and warn their people on being vigilant on using it. That view will be he controlling factor if a country would support or deny cryptocurrencies in their jurisdiction. Fortunately, people are still given the freedom to explore it, even if generally, their countries don't exactly support it.

I do. Altcoins are good investments, or at least some of them. Also, in this market, altcoins are crucial in fostering good competition that gives Bitcoin a run for its money. The cryptocurrency market would not prosper if there are only a few assets holding power, so having lots of altcoins in the market, although it may come as confusing at times, would still do good in the end because it has the capacity to keep the market going and carry the market, especially during those times when the best coins around are not doing good. So, considering it as the future of the cryptocurrency market is not too far-fetched.

That's right, although I don't agree with the statement older generations are more open to progress because 'progress' can be defined in so many ways. I think that the younger generations just came in a time where technology is continuously increasing, and so, it just so happened that every facet of life now is well-penetrated and is heavily inclined to the use of technology. Since it is a common thing in today's life, generations born within it would treat it as normal and would see it as a necessity of their life, thus, making them more open to it.

That could be a good thing to pull of. However, for one, developing your own blockchain is easier said that done. Also, having to convince people that your coin is worth it to mine and possess is a different animal in itself. Therefore, as much as you can make your own coin, like most people do introducing new coins through ICOs, you should consider that mining takes capital and maintenance and some people would rather mine those coins that are already established than newer ones that has a lot to prove.

I think the best way is to just be thorough and critical with choosing your projects. You see there are so many bounty campaigns popping in a daily basis, some are new and have potential to prosper, but most of them, are washed-out copies of old concepts that has been released before that do not have any chance of booming. So, use all the checks and guides you have to see if a projects even has a chance to make it past the marketing stage and really make a mark in the real market.

I think that investments in ICO still has a lot of potential left in it. Even if there are so many project failures and even scams that bring a bad light to it. I would say that there are still some projects and companies that could be game changers, if you know how to find them. I think if you're a serious investor, one of the tasks that you should do is to apply due diligence on all your investments, thus, instead of blaming others for choosing bad projects, why not use all the resources available for you to discern if a project has a change to succeed.

Bitcoin is always on the list mate. It is still the best coin around the market by far, basing on its value and marketability. However, since that is a given, let's focus on other coins that could make a splash in the years to come. For that, I would say Ethereum, I think that it has gained so much support from people based on trust in the coin in the the technology backing it. Many use it in transactions as well as hold it for future trade. It has also proven itself as one of the enduring and reliable coins that, although its rise may be slow, it has the capacity to hold its ground against negative market movements that prevents its decline

It pains to say, but it is true. Not many people actually see the importance of checking out the whitepaper, because to many, it is just waste of time. I would say that having useful information about something, especially when it talks about money and investment, would always be good to have. Some people just try to downplay it because they don't want to spend hours and hours on reading about something, when sometimes, they don't even understand what's in it. I think that if you are serious in this market, then you should apply due diligence in every move you make to avoid losses and get as much profit as you can. After all, that is the end goal.

Based on what I have read and know, altcoins gains value depending on the technology that backs it and the market cap set by its develops. Obviously, when it has a good technology, more people would actually be convinced to invest in it or trade using it that it would have a higher usage rate that would then transcend to it having a good value. On the other hand, if it has a large market cap, then it has a lot of potential to circulate and be used because more people can hold them as supposed to only having a few in circulation.

Yes, I do mate. It is actually one of my "go to" coins. I have in my portfolio sort of a long term investment. It is one of the high-tier, high-valued altcoins that I consider as a safe and reliable investment. It is enduring, and it can stand its ground even when the market it is going haywire due to the staggering effect of Bitcoin's movement on it. I think you're saying that Eth is failing because of the fact that many people who has it choose to hold it than do transactions with it, therefore, its usage rate is low and thus its value is seemingly taking a slow path to get up. However, Ethereum has been one of the best altcoins in the market and many people would attest to that.

Certainly, when talking about ICOs, there is no time to treat as good time to invest because ICOs are a staple. You can invest at them any time because there are a lot of ICOs going out in the market on a daily basis. It just depends on you on what product or concept you want to invest in, and how long your time table is for a project. Therefore, I would say that it would depend on your checklist of what kind of ICOs you want to venture in. Scams are always there for sure, but it is up to the joiner to sift through all them to select the best projects.

I check their movement in terms of value. Also, I check how they contrast with Bitcoin's movement. There are so many altcoins that could have a big potential; however, unfortunately, they can't hold their ground against high-tier altcoins and Bitcoin, whenever, those assets go up, most altcoins go down. So, I check for those that can endure like Ethereum. Another is the market cap, if it has a large market cap, then there would be more chances to acquire it for value.

I don't think it will die because ICOs are the main means for some people to earn coins in this market. Many people, especially the beginners, who doesn't have much knowledge and means to explore other options to earn. Although I know that the legitimacy and success rate of these ICOs are always in question because of the numerous situations like scams and failures that contributed to people seeing it in a bad light, I think that it still has a lot of potential left in it because it could still introduce a lot of good concept that people could support.

An airdrop is a means for a new developer or company to introduce their coin to the market. It is done through distributing little amount of coins to many people who enrolled in the airdrop program. By doing so, it gives more people idea about the project and the coin, plus it urges them to use it in transactions, which may help in increasing the value of the coin. It's basically free coin, but the amount is not that much since its purpose is introduction.

Well, you could consider that, but there are a lot more different indicators to tell if a project is good or not. First off, check the project's background and objectives. If the project shows a new or unique concept or if it has a great improvement from alike products or concepts, then it could have greater success because people tend to gravitate on them, thus, it would get more support. Also, you need check the management team, they should have a good trust rating and to be reliable in terms of updating information about the project. Also, you have to check how much is alloted to the campaign you are joining, so that you can get an idea of how much you can get. The more the merrier as always.
