How sure are you that next year is the year for ethereum? No one can tell if what will happen on the prices of the crypto currency. It will really depend on the demand that the coin will have. Bitcoin's price will continue to rise on the next years and I don't think that Ethereum will be able to go over it's rate in the next years.

He's asking for a recommendation. And I think that recommending is base on ones knowledge so we might also call it an opinion. I do recommend ethereum because ethereum's system is better than bitcoin's. It just so happen that bitcoin is the first crypto to be acknowledge by the public giving it the edge over ethereum.

Yes, buying Ethereum can be a good investment as it can be poised for more growth in 2018...who knows it can double within the first 6 months next year (this is just my speculation and I am not good in predicting things). However, you need to also diversify so my advice is you also buy some Bitcoin as there would be more growth for the King of Coins next year. As always, do your own due diligence, gather all the facts and then decide...after that you need to pray that you made a good decision. Prepare for the roller coaster ride of your life with cryptocurrency. Good luck!

If those 10k is spare amount to you or you can afford to loss all of them or part of it than you can still buy bitcoin or crypto at current considerably high prices.

Crypto marketcap is still very low and there is still billions of $ which may get poured into bitcoin or crypto in near future. So don't keep waiting, start to invest in new digital gold.

Nope, we are just getting started!

Go with cyptocurrencies that have a unique characteristics that is profitable like Monero, ETH, Bitcoin, etc. But do not go with alts that is just a fork of bitcoin with no added value in it like bitcoin cash, or gold or any color and minerals appended to bitcoin or eth. Just be sure to study each crypto you want to invest, do your research diligently, and not just follow anyone.

if you are aiming for the long term no you are not late, I think there is still a good profit to be made

In regards to opinion, the other activities that one promotes should be considered as a gauge of how one's opinion is shaped.

Meepospammer here is promoting in his post signature an ICO that asks people go give sell their established Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, etc to buy a "P2PS ICO". Their website doesn't talk about what the P2P ICO token is, how its business model provides something tangible to the world.

This P2PS sounds like a ponzi scheme...would you trust the opinion of someone who supports a ponzi scheme?

1) Learn how to securely store your coins and get a hardware wallet such as a Ledger Nano S or a Trezor. Not getting hacked is half the battle, the other battle is not getting scammed out of your coins, which brings me to:

2) Avoid ICOs and HYIPs like a plague.

3) I personally mostly stay away from alts since even the more innovative ones have failed to fully convince me (eg. ETH doesn't scale well either and has insecure smart contracts, BCH is just BTC with less features and bigger blocks, IOTA currently requires a central authority, XRP is fully centralized to begin with, LTC is just BTC with shorter block times and a different hashing algorithm...) but it might be a different story for you. Long term BTC has been the most reliable cryptocurrency so far, so I'd recommend starting with that.

Hi my dear friend try to avoid BITCOIN it will never be #1 currency i bought it yesterday I am still waiting for my transaction to confirm what ever it may be + fees are very high!!!

I hear that theres another aaltcoin IOTA or Bitcoin Cash look for these i will grab both of these 2, might buy Ethereum as well i hear good about it
