If not, it would be community regulation and how the community would deal with a perpetrator. Despite such regulatory differences across jurisdictions, Bitcoin remains top investment thanks to its legal clarity in many regions and the strong trust it holds in the market.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_cryptocurrency_still_a_smart_investment\"><\/span><strong>Is cryptocurrency still a smart investment?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>Being a Bitcoin maximalist, I truly believe in bitcoin, not BCHabc or BCHsv. As for the other cryptocurrencies, platform currencies with real use cases and communities which are using those coins as forms of gas are good investments. As with every bear market, people start losing faith. Have they noticed that they themselves are the cause of bear markets by shilling every coin to the moon instead of allowing the coins to slowly gain real value and credibility? Sometimes, it is a matter of what they truly believe in. If they believe in fiat, which many of them invest to gain cryptocurrencies, then cryptocurrencies would not be such a good investment for unskilled traders. If they believe in the vision and the tech, then they should form the support and value for the currencies they truly believe in. After all, fiat is worth as much as what they are told it is worth.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_cryptocurrency_is_a_must-have_in_the_investment_portfolio\"><\/span><strong>Which cryptocurrency is a must-have in the investment portfolio?\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Only Bitcoin.

The inherent problem with a copyright model on blockchain is the lack of recognition by governments if you choose to &#8220;file&#8221; copyright on the blockchain, but do not file it with a government entity. The good news though would be that the blockchain would be able to be proof of having created something on a specific date and time using blockchain.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_cryptocurrency_still_a_smart_investment-2\"><\/span><strong>Is cryptocurrency still a smart investment?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>It is for me and millions of other people. I believe that cryptocurrencies will replace money as we know it now and that banks will continue to screw up and allow humans to harm other humans in the current system. The blockchain is based on a code, so it doesn&#8217;t have the freedom to manipulate. In the long term, it will prevail and so the investments made today should have value.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am not a financial advisor though, so no one should take my advice on investing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_cryptocurrency_is_a_must-have_in_the_investment_portfolio-2\"><\/span><strong>Which cryptocurrency is a must-have in the investment portfolio?\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>Bitcoin is my must have. Everyone has to make their own decisions about what works for them. I actively trade a lot of cryptos, so I have involvement with a lot.<\/p>\n<p>I highly recommend a great deal on the market right now and that is the Masternode coin called GoByte ($GBX). Masternodes are a way to print money and they provide incredible value.

With the advent of the Lightning Network changing usage types and enabling powerful applications on top of the network, Bitcoin remains top investment for those looking for innovation backed by proven security and adoption.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">I do think that when Telegram launches their coin, all bets are off for what marketshare will look like. That is a network with hundreds of millions of users, with a huge number of those involved in crypto. Telegram will give those users a platform for transactions and for making money. It is going to be a very powerful play if done correctly. Still, for those seeking proven stability and long-term value in the crypto space, Bitcoin remains top investment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_do_you_think_about_the_success_of_BitTorrent_Will_this_somehow_influence_the_industry-2\"><\/span><strong>What do you think about the success of BitTorrent?

However, it has a history of failed monetization, and none of the crypto or blockchain-based media projects have achieved significant success outside the crypto community. Their built-in userbase does give them more potential, but I also worry about a project like Tron, which already has a lot on its plate, trying to also run a media company. In my experience, clients in the crypto space often lack the business skills needed to succeed. While Tron and BTT are great projects, I remain unsure about their long-term success. At least BitTorrent has a userbase to leverage.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1892 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/SimonC@2x.png\" alt=\"Bitcoin remains top investment\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/SimonC@2x.png 300w, https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/SimonC@2x-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/SimonC@2x-60x60.png 60w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Simon_Cocking\"><\/span>Simon Cocking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h6><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Senior_Editor_at_Irish_Tech_News_Editor_in_Chief_at_CryptoCoinNews_business_mentor_and_advisor\"><\/span>Senior Editor at Irish Tech News, Editor in Chief at CryptoCoinNews,\u00a0business mentor and advisor.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/simon-cocking-20540135\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1875\" src=\"https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Group-5@2x.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"30\" height=\"30\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Group-5@2x.png 64w, https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Group-5@2x-60x60.png 60w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 30px) 100vw, 30px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SimonCocking\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1873\" src=\"https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Group-2@2x.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"30\" height=\"30\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Group-2@2x.png 64w, https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Group-2@2x-60x60.png 60w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 30px) 100vw, 30px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/icoholder.com\/en\/ico-advisors\/simon-cocking-1972\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1891\" src=\"https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/icoholder.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"30\" height=\"30\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/icoholder.png 64w, https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/icoholder-60x60.png 60w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 30px) 100vw, 30px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Simon Cocking is a Senior Editor at Irish Tech News, an Editor in Chief at CryptoCoinNews, and a freelances for Sunday Business Post, Irish Times, Southern Star, IBM, G+D, and other publications.

Bitcoin remains top investment for those seeking long-term value. Therefore it is possible to give a qualified &#8216;yes&#8217;, and it offers a better solution than what we have currently.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_cryptocurrency_still_a_smart_investment-3\"><\/span><strong>Is cryptocurrency still a smart investment?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p data-start=\"68\" data-end=\"518\">Yes, Bitcoin remains top investment if you buy the right cryptocurrencies. Not all of them but many will die if they have no utility, network or large user base. It has to be something that needs tokenisation and offers value and a better way of doing things than what it is replacing. Investors also need to recognise that they need to be in for the long game, and not merely looking to pump and dump &#8211; down that path lies many burned investors.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_cryptocurrency_is_a_must-have_in_the_investment_portfolio-3\"><\/span><strong>Which cryptocurrency is a must-have in the investment portfolio?\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>Ha ha. Bitcoin will hold it&#8217;s value, every time it falls then big investors look to buy up more &#8211; so as a long term play it is looking good for 2020, especially as the next mining halving looms in May 2020. For the other top ten tokens, we are still in a period of format wars for many of them. Some are going to do very well, and some are going to fade in value, depending on who manages and grows their network and utility the best over the next 6 &#8211; 9 months and beyond. Chose the right ones here and you will be looking very smart in 12 months time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_are_your_favourite_cryptocurrency_exchanges-3\"><\/span><strong>Which are your favourite cryptocurrency exchanges?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">That really depends where you are based in the world and what you are trying to buy and sell, horses for courses. If the UX is good, the funds don&#8217;t get locked up, the wallets don&#8217;t get raided, and the CEO doesn&#8217;t die holding the sole password, then these are better exchanges to work with. I do have some I like for sure but there are a lot out there and we will see who survives over the next year and beyond. Through it all, Bitcoin remains top investment due to its resilience and global recognition.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_will_be_the_Bitcoin_course_in_your_opinion_this_year-3\"><\/span><strong>What will be the Bitcoin course in your opinion this year?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">As mentioned above, Bitcoin is currently holding fairly stable. If too much gets sold, then others will step in and buy. If it rises too high, too fast, then bigger holders will offload to capitalise on profits made. Bitcoin remains top investment, due to its resilience and growing institutional interest. Overall, it is looking like it will make a steady, and much more gradual rise \u2014 not like 2017 levels, but a more mature, and hopefully less volatile upward progression.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_there_a_cryptocurrency_that_has_more_promising_positions_than_Bitcoin_and_Ethereum-3\"><\/span><strong>Is there a cryptocurrency that has more promising positions than Bitcoin and Ethereum?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Yes, for sure. The challenge will be if they achieve network growth and user usage. Many cryptos do a lot of things better than BTC and ETH, but despite that, Bitcoin remains top investment due to its unmatched adoption, utility, and market dominance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_do_you_think_about_the_success_of_BitTorrent_Will_this_somehow_influence_the_industry-3\"><\/span><strong>What do you think about the success of BitTorrent?

As a technology expert rather than a finance or crypto finance specialist, I can say that, technology-wise, Bitcoin\u2019s blockchain lags behind many of the new blockchain technologies emerging now. Despite this, it remains the most popular cryptocurrency, and that status is likely here to stay. Consider the Internet Protocol \u2014 it\u2019s not perfect, yet it\u2019s a long-standing standard still widely used today. Whether Bitcoin will upgrade its blockchain to a more efficient technology is uncertain; I personally doubt it will. However, Bitcoin is more about the brand than the underlying technology. It may transition to better technology without losing its brand identity, as seen in the creation of orphans like Bitcoin Cash and the many recent forks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_there_a_cryptocurrency_that_has_more_promising_positions_than_Bitcoin_and_Ethereum-4\"><\/span><strong>Is there a cryptocurrency that has more promising positions than Bitcoin and Ethereum?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>Cryptocurrencies are a matter of finance and manipulators.
