It is predicted that monero will go much higher than $500 so that is a low estimate. However, for 2019 it is a maybe as the market is still unstable now. Monero could be the coin of choice for rich people to hide their wealth, it is better than bitcoin for this aspect

Often them team is just a profile picture purchased from photostock linked to a made up linkedIn profile. A formal verification system needs to be done on the CEO and senior members of the team to ensure that they are real, this would safeguard the investors from scammers

When you throw in the KYC requirements it becomes almost impossible for newbies and technology challenged people. Even the ATM machines have camera's built in, it really needs to become so easy that you can pick them up at the supermarket for mainstream adoption to happen

I think the death penalty is a little harsh but I know what you mean. These scammers are not only stealing our funds but destroying an industry. They are ruining the reputation or crypto currencies which could have a market cap 10x higher if not for them

It is true that litecoins is going up, not sure the reason behind it. Possibly because tommy lee said that he wants litecoins to add privacy features and to make it fungible as well. This will make it a competitor to zcash and give it extra value

There is too much sideways trading but this is a good thing because there are a number of ETF's being considered by the SEC and they like to see a stable market rather than one that jumps all over the place

As smart investors know the best time to invest is when the market is down. This is therefore the best time because BAKKT is coming soon, so is a possible ETF approval, and the halving is next year. Can't get better than that!

Altcoins are the best because there is variety and makes the market attractive to investors. When watching prices of multiple items it is far more exciting then just looking at bitcoin which may or may not be experiencing a good run

ESH is a nice hidden gem, it has just been built and has great support. This will be the new etherdelta but bigger and better. Never heard of MNX so can't comment on that. I'd recommend LISK as a good long term hodl, as their SDK is coming soon for DAPPS development

Ethereum appears to be breaking away, or bitcoin cash is failing to move. Either way people are putting their money on ETH right now, when things start to move I'd still stick with ethereum. Bitcoincash hasn't made any worthy partnerships recently

Generally it is the other way around i.e bitcoin starts to pump and everything else goes red. This market is very unpredictable right now and is going against what we would expect. May will pump though due to the halving effect

The only good one on that list is electroneum which pumped a few months ago. The others are unknown shitcoins that have no hope in a bear market. Sell them while they are still listed on an exchange and switch to top 20 coins instead

The bounty payments have no real effect as they only offer 1 or 2% of the supply. The people dumping are the pre-sale investors and most likely the project team trying to raise funds themselves. They don't care as they already have ETH and BTC

No harm is using a pretty lady to try and promote this project The achievements so far make it outshine most other projects in crypto but it hasn't been reflected in investor interest. Hard to see why not, it should be ranked a lot higher than it is

Even the ones that actually hit the softcap are a world away from releasing something substantial. After the ICO has ended patience is needed which is why ICO investors are offered a huge discount on their initial investment

It is definitely too late to make profit, but good to hold just a few for reduction in trading fees. As it is just an exchange platform token it won't have the same value the other top coins. Binance is the biggest exchange now but next year it could be another platform, probably a DEX

Giving up is for people that do not take risks and just move slowly along in life expecting things to happen to them. Crypto is becoming less of a risk and more of a sure thing so smart people will not give up, they are investing right now

There was talk that is was going to be 120 million as a total supply but that figures appears to be approaching fast. They should really implement this quickly while the market is down and investors have more assurances when picking investments

There is a litecoin halving due later this year so it is likely to pump again. Timing is crucial but impossible to predict so just ensure it is done at least a month before the halving to maximise the benefits

It hasn't been reflected in the price yet but good to see that the hard fork was successful. This means that the future of ethereum is going to continue moving upwards with scalability issues being resolved along with reduced inflation
