There will be another purge of altcoins, in the next few years IMO, in which a large number of alts will fall drastically in price - the ones which have low adoption or non existent tech and utility and that's when the ecosystem will start maturing.

For Blockstack, you'll find more details here - https://stackstoken.com/. The public token sale is live till the 9th of September.

Completely agree with the viewpoint. We're already seeing happen with majority of the blockchain based innovation happening in countries with favourable regulatory environments like Singapore, Switzerland. The gulf in innovation in this space will increasingly widen between these countries and ones with unclear/unfavourable regulations IMO.

I've used Tether and Dai in the past. There's a lot of interesting stuff being built in the decentralized finance space that utilizes Dai which should help increase it's adoption.

Long term holding portfolio on my Ledger Nano S. Shorter term investments/trading on MyCrypto and Electrum.

Checkout Blockstack - token sale is ongoing, and Polkadot - they're planning on doing a secondary token sale towards the end of the year.

Some of the best places to find good developers are hackathons, blockchain conferences and community meetups IMO. They're happening in most major cities around the world these days

Currently holding BTC, ETH and Cosmos. Looking to invest in Polkadot and Dfinity post launch. Other projects I'm following and will possibly invest in the future - Tezos, Chainlink, Blockstack.

IEOs are in my opinion better than ICOs because of the due diligence that the exchange conducting them has to do as opposed to it being done by the retail investor in the case of ICOs. On the downside, this gives the exchanges a lot of leverage which is bound to create problems.

Apart from Bitcoin and Ethereum, I'm following Polkadot and Dfinity and considering investing in them for the long term once they launch.

I think dollar cost averaging is a good strategy if you plan on holding for the long term. I try to do that every 2-3 months while maintaining the same portfolio allocation across asset classes - stocks, bonds, crypto etc.

I'd suggest using one of the recommended wallets for mobile on the bitcoin and ethereum websites. Check -

I have a part of my portfolio in long term hold bitcoin, which I don't trade or convert to altcoins.
To buy altcoins, I use my trading budget or fiat.

Start with 'Technical Analysis Of The Financial Markets' By John Murphy, you should be able to find the e-book pretty easily. Then move onto a dummy trading account and try applying what you learn.

Apart from Bitcoin, I'm investing in Ethereum for now and also following Polkadot and Dfinity and considering investing in them once they launch.

Check out Ampleforth - IEO'd recently on Bitfinex and is one of the most interesting monetary experiments currently IMO. Whitepaper here - https://www.ampleforth.org/paper/

Crypto 20 - https://crypto20.com/en/, was the first tokenised index fund AFAIK that's been operational since Q1 2018. All of their reports are public and can be found here - https://crypto20.com/en/portal/performance/

Only 6 of 150+ alts did better than BTC in the past 12 months, out of which only 1 was in the top 100 the year before - https://thebitcoinnews.com/best-performing-altcoins-against-bitcoin-over-past-year/.
Quite tough to beat just holding BTC considering risk/reward.

DEX's are the future, especially in times of an uncertain regulatory environment. Only a matter of time before we get a truly decentralized exchange with all of the usability benefits of a CEX, without the centralization. We're getting there.
