Not everybody wants to become rich overnight and treat bearish market as a normal market
cycle which will end once. We should look a wider picture of the progress of the crypto.
It is here to stay, better to accept that and have benefit from it.

Everybody has to start somewhere in crypto and need to gain some experience in investing or trading.
Things are changing in crypto very fast, but we always can build on the knowledge we already have.
If we want to be successful in crypto we have to be updated with the newest information and it is a
lifelong process.

After a year of bearish market I do not think that the bearish market will continue for years as we
had last time. I think that  in 2019  some regulations will be implemented finally, and the institutional
investors will join the market and that will be a trend changer.

The market should mature and ICOs should be regulated but not country by country. What we can see that
ICOs are not accepting US citizens or some other investors from EU. We should have a global regulation
as Crypto is global and that is it`s strength.

We need  good coins and products with use cases which will improve our life quality and
then there will be higher demand for it and we will have bull run and mass adoption.
We cannot have mass adoption if the coins are not scalable if many of them are useless.
This technology  complicated to be adopted at once. There will be a lot of bull and bears
until that happen.

I can imagine that Google come out with it`s own coins as they have capable development team for it
and have the infrastructure and a huge customer base. The question is when would be the right time for
them to launch their own coin. That would be a huge impact on the market.

It will have a big effect as it will solve ETH issue with scaling and the transactions will be much
faster and more secure. Huge developers team is working on it for long so it should be a game
changer on the market. After implementing of Serenity I think ETH will bounce back and recover.
Until that I will try to full up my bags with it, as much as I can.

I am afraid of course a bit , but I am not scared of the market situation. I look on the bearish market as a normal cycle.
Of course I would feel better if the whole market be in higher ranges of capitalization around $500 billion
but we have to deal with what we have.

On a bearish market it is better to trade instead of crying on our losses. Traders actively managing their
portfolio and for them the declining market is business as usual. Of course traders also have bad days in
the office and not making profit all the time but overall yes- at least the experienced ones.

Agree on that BTC pumps when there is demand, and there is demand  when there is Hype.
There will be more demand and hype when there will be more valuable projects with use cases than scammy ones.

All scenarios are possible for the next year crypto market. But there will be some events at the beginning of the 2019
that can influence the market. One of that is BAKKT launching which can attract institutional investors. The second one
is Bitcoin ETF decision. These two events could determine the further direction of the market.

The market is full of manipulators and  some of them are shouting all the time "buy" of "HODL" or "invest " or
"bull run next week". We are listening that all year long, but the market is more complex and unpredictable
and we should not listen to anybody. We have to be able to make our own individual investment decisions
as we are the one and only responsible for our funds.

You probably used the same email address and the same password for all the airdrops and sites you are
visiting. Or visited phishing sites. But this has nothing to do with airdrops. But, you are right airdrops are
worthless nowadays.

ETH has a supportive community behind and it is the most trusted platform. It is facing some
issues with scaling and the development upgrade are postponed for 2019. This is why it has
lost the 2. position on CMC.

It was not the case last year as the demand was high for the coins of a good project. This year
there are plenty of opportunities to buy coins much under ICO price when they enter the exchanges.
Investors know this and this is why their willingness for investing dropped significantly.

ICOs should be regulated to make investments safe. Not in terms of profitability as every
investment in crypto is risky, but in terms that the project leaders cannot abandon the project
and steel the funds. ( for example like EtherDelta scammers did )

ICOs are facing tough times this year mainly the second half of the year. Many investors
lost their confidence in ICOs as the price of the tokens in many cases is declining under the
ICO price when they are listed on exchanges. It is very difficult for ICOs to raise funds nowadays.

ICOs needing regulations to disable scammers. But ICOs should exist as they are very efficient way
of fund rasing. There are many good projects out there and it is not as you say that each ICO project
can be done from $1 million. I feel your pain, but the economy of a project is not simple as that.

Corrections are needed as everything what goes up, it goes down. ( except our age )
The crypto market has it`s own cycles and and the market always decide in which cycle
we are based on supply and demand.

For some it was over before it has started. Many comes to crypto and invest without learning anything
about the market and the technology itself and expecting to become a millionaire overnight. They are
on a wrong place in a wrong time.
