I think it has something to do with that, last year the price of ETH went up enormously because there was a lot of investment in the new ICOs that came out every week, now as the investment has dried up a bit I think there is not a lot of money going into the ICOs and therefore there is not as much demand for ETH as there was before.

Transparency, nothing gives more trust than honesty, I like a new alt to have a real team, even if it's not something so impressive, there's no need to lie and say that your whole team comes from Harvard when it's not really like that, we just want a well-organized team with fixed goals and who are really committed to achieving them.

As everyone tells you, cryptos are quite risky, I consider them much riskier than the stock market because they are really difficult to predict, despite the market manipulations, everything can go to the other side and you can lose a lot of money or gain a lot, but if you are interested in this exciting new technology, go ahead.

It is true that this bear market has made creating a successful ICO a real challenge, but I still believe that if an ICO is really good it won't have much trouble maintaining a constant market volume, in the end, it is what most coins should aim at in order to continue with mass adoption and help spread the technology.

ETH has proven its usefulness over time, and so far I believe it is one of the most solid alts we have in the market, that's why it has such a high market volume, because it is a good platform to develop dapps and to make transactions, so far remains the king of alts, although it has a really strong competition.

It's not a very good idea, since airdrops coins are not very valuable lately, I'm not saying there isn't potential, I'm just saying that there are many possibilities that you find scams out there, in the end, they are stranges on the internet and you would not give your passport to the Nigerian prince who sends you emails? or yes?

I think the reason for everyone to be in this crypto world is very personal, many will be for the money, others will be for the technology and some for the vision of Satoshi, but the important thing is that we all aim for the same goal, which is the success of cryptocurrencies.

It is that this market is too volatile for someone to predict something with certainty, that does not mean that they do not have the necessary knowledge to try to predict the future movements of the market, the problem is that the transactions are too opaque to have a certain degree of certainty

That also creates a conflict in me when people complain about dumpers, these are their tokens, it is their time that they invested to earn it because people get upset if in the end, they dump? something usually happens, there are many solid projects that do not suffer from that, why will it be?

At first I was more of a hobby than anything else, I walked through the forum and had not bothered to create an account, when I began to want to participate is that I created an account and then discovered the signatures that practically pay me to do something I did before, so I took the opportunity and now I'm much more involved.

that's the goal, right now the banks have a lot of power, but in about 10 years when cryptos are much more popular, I think if they would be a reliable replacement for the current financial system, they might not replace them completely, but if they would be much more popular than most banks.

I think it will depend a lot on each ICO, there are ICOs that promote investment in the development stage and give offers or bonds that only do pre-launch, so try to always maximize your investment without having to spend more money, if they offer you good pre-exchange bonds, take advantage of them if the ICO is really good.

That is a good question, despite this bear market we have had very good altcoins that have destabilized quite the top 10 coinmarketcap, we could say that ETH is still an excellent altcoin, but ripple is also stepping on his heels, there are also alts not so famous that are excellent too, such as Priv, venQ and EOS, very close fight.

Of course it has been a good year for traders and investors, the volatility is still there, only now the amounts are much more modest, for example, ETH was down to almost $200 was a bargain for many investors, because they became rich if they invested a strong sum because now ETH goes for $226 with a forecast to continue rising, that's a 10% profit without doing anything besides waiting a couple of weeks, that's an excellent business for anyone.

That's a whole subject of study, in which you could spend hours analyzing why the ups and downs of the alts, but the truth is that this market is very volatile and we do not know for sure how it reacts to certain things, for example, that you can see with the Chinese ban, many people thought that btc would collapse for that and as we can see the price went higher than ever, that's what makes cryptos so attractive from an economic point of view.

Yes, and in my opinion that is the most important thing, despite the fact that the price has not risen as much as last year, I still think that mass adoption is more beneficial, so we must help spread it anywhere and continue to increase the volume of trade if we want cryptos someday replace this obsolete financial system.

ETH is popular because it is a very solid currency, it has resurfaced better than before every time it has had problems and has resisted the passage of time, so ETH always has good support from the community, because in addition to having a stored value like most currencies, serves to develop utilities with its platform, so that's a great extra for people who see beyond the monetary value.

Sure, it makes sense, I imagine he was seeing himself as a centralized figure, and he walked away to avoid that, who knows, he probably walks among us or went on vacation with his bitcoins haha.

Currently, I’m studying for hobby/work all the information we have at our disposal in The Complete Satoshi of the Satoshi Nakamoto Institute website.

 I started with the early emails and I‘m in the forum activities now, although it is quite technical and there are things of programming and encryption that I do not understand, his way of explaining and his excellent command of English make it quite understandable from a newbie perspective. 

I also know the different forums that he took part in and how he/she/it was creating a community around Bitcoin, until apparently ceased to exist in 2014, inquiring a little in his different users on those forums, I realized that he neither said goodbye and never seemed to retire, was really a sudden disappearance and left me a bit surprised.

What do you think happened to him?
