I joined only three ICOs this year. And when I find with new projects that have a beautiful team and vision, I will continue to participate in their ICOs in those projects. Because there are ICOs that can still make more profit in the market although they are few in number.
I don't think Ripple is a scam. As a result, Ripple is now the third coin with the most market cap. The fact that Ripple is a centralized platform makes me a little confused. But that doesn't give me the idea that Ripple is a scam.
You are absolutely right. In Crypto world, almost everyone acts according to prices. When the market is down, they panic and they say crypton is dead. In this case I think it is not true. The Crypto market always falls or rises. But whatever the cryptocurrency continues to spread and grow. And I believe that those who are long-term investors will have great profits in the future.
If the canceled ICO is not scam, then team members are sending your money back. But some team members are delaying the ICO instead of canceling. Then you have to wait until the new ICO date. But if the ICO you are joining is scam then you can't get your money back in any way. Therefore, you should do a good research before joining the ICO.
I don't think the Bitcoin price will drop to $ 1,000. And I'm reading very nice news about cryptocurrency, especially for 15-20 days. And i think this is positively affecting the market. And I think this upward trend will continue. And this increase in my opinion will affect mostly Bitcoin and Ethereum.
