That's pretty useful info, thx! If it wasn't for that article I'd have said that there is no way we are going cashless but now..
It's kind of difficult to imagine a world without cash although I mostly use my debit cards

Merci pour le partage de ces groupes..incroyable que je ne les connaissais pas encore

Do both. Invest some of your money in altcoins and try to make more and save the rest but not in fiat but Bitcoin. That way you earn double

Too many ICO's and too many flippers. Take Request as example, it was hyped a lot but it didn't sell out immediately. If everybody is in it for a flip and you just barely make the cap..then who is there afterwards to buy at a higher price if everybody just wants to make a x2
Give it some time, in a few months the cycle will repeat

Stratis, Salt, Atlant, Apx 
Don't forget to say thank you in a year

Sold quite a bit of my alts a few weeks ago and now I'm either buying some of them back or I reinvest them somewhere else. If you're looking for a good opportunity check my signature, do some research and then decide

Once the BTC fork nonsense has stopped things will calm down again.
However a lot of projects are also falling because a lot of people are starting to realize that they won't become rich over night or that their new favourite coin is nothing but a scam or a dead coin

haha wht kind of question is that everyone knows bitcoin, even those who dont understand it :p Dodgecoin is  more popular in with people who are fully devoted to crypto, but people always tend to turn to bitcoin.

Well could you maybe be more specific about which altcoins are not making you any money? some projects were pulled ino the dumps and probably won't come back but some projects like stratis, which are now going through a rough patch, will definitky come back once they get their marketing strategies sorted. try and see how good the idea behind a project is, is it possible to developp and is the team stronng.

One underrated project that i have come across and which surprises me is GUTS. They already have a finished product, they are signing contracts with huge companies and they have a solution against ticket fraud and the blackmarket.

you're in a bit of a pickle but believe me many others are in your situation. holding is the best way not to lose 80%. I'm sure stratis will recover some time next year and make you a lot of money. DGB i don't really know... If they do not become successful at all you can always hope it gets pumped and dumped by a group and still make some money. Just try not to sell at a lower price than the price you initially paid.

Gosh...I'm sure many people who got into crypto in 2017 must be raging right now that they still missed such a 'low price' for bitcoin :p I wouldn't be surprised if they reached 6000$ by the 1st january 2018.

It sucks of course, I heard of it when it was still really cheap but I underestimated it because I listened to people who had studied economics and told it was just a big bubble. I also regret investing in some projects (which I will not mention since I still hope they will rise) that still have nothing to show. But I think we could be a lot worse off. I think most of us here have already made a satisfying amount with cryptos altogether, and that's a lot more than most of the world population can say about themselves

Just take a look at Proof-of-stake coins =)
Or at Atlant Atlant token holders get 7% of every building Atlant sells via their platform

Kyber has a pretty decent shot at becoming the first DEX that actually works. So long-term wise you should be good. Short-term wise...well..you see it yourself. Deciding on whether to sell half or not is basically a gamble.

a x1000 is quite a lot. Multiply Salt's Marketcap times 1000 and you tell me if it's realistic or not
I think it's possible but certainly not in 2 years. Maybe 10?

The points you listed will ultimately determine the future of a lot of projects. However I think that the end is not quite here yet. If we compare the current market cap to the dotcombubble we still have a long way to go until it all comes down. =)
Currently I'm only aware of 2-3 projects (1 still in ICO) that actually offer something. 

I would start with really low cost cryptos like rain, ripple, NEM or MobileGo just to get your engine started without being afraid of losing too much. Once you get more comfortable with the idea, you can move on to ICOs and then work your way up to presales. make sure you join their slack/telegram if you want to stay updated.

Scared people. If fear of bitcoin were to spread like a disease, everyone would sell, stop mining, no one would buy, bitcoin would simply die out. Governments cannot really do anything (yet at least). And one governmnent doesn't necessarily apply to another. But scared family members, wives, husbands, close friends etc can have great influence on people.

Well if no one spends them and people keep buying bitcoins, then the marketcap would just go up and up until people have no moey left for anything. then I hope they will start spending their bitcoins for at least food and stuff :p
