The good thing about having more cryptocurrency is competition. The more coins competing, the more quality features they offer. Most of the cryptocurrency today has their own field of application. The more choices you have the easier the transaction. I have no idea about the bad side of having more cryptocurrency for I am not an expert in this field nor have any idea for this complex matter. In my honest opinion, too many is not good for the market. But how much is too many, that is the question.

Airdrop is just a waste of time. Yes they are free and who would say no to something that is a money giveaway. But since the value is so low, there's no point having them. Though some airdrop have strong value, but since the majority is a no go then there is no point wasting your time in joining these airdrop. There's more significant things to do than that. Bounty is what I prefer.

You are looking at this the wrong way. In what universe does defines "the future" as always in GREEN? There are many technologies before struggled in the past and yet they are huge technologies now. Let us take Apple for instance, they boomed in the first years of their era and at the middle, they are losing millions of dollars for years. Imagine that they struggled for years and look at them now. Your logic about the cryptocurrency as the future is very flawed.

I assume you want to invest in an ICO but since you are new to this, I do not suggest you to invest in them. ICOs are very risky investment which have no definite security for their investors. Consider investing first on coins that have established themselves in the market. Take a look at the coins in the top 10 in coinMarketCap. Investing in a well established coin lessen the risks of loss.

Energy is essential for living so this could be considered as a need. A project that utilizes cryptocurrency for energy improvement is theoretically a great concept and could have a great potential in the coming years. There is a chance that these projects could revolutionize the way of buying and selling energy worldwide.

No one could really say when will this bearish market end and be on a bull market. This market has always been unpredictable and it will stay as it is. Being in the bear market gives enough information why we are experiencing this consecutive drops. The market and the community reacts accordingly that's why only a few wants to pump the market. Nothing significant reason for this, it's just a normal event.

There's no doubt that the top 10 lineup will change this year. There are many coins or token are being made and some might have the potential of being on the top 10. Some coins or tokens that have been around for quite some time now might gain momentum and overtakes a spot in the lineup. Also, not all the coins in the top 10 might be in its proper place. Sooner or later, one coin might step down from its position due to some circumstances.

Whenever I see the word INVESTMENT, I see "risk" written all over it. Investing in cryptocurrency is very risky that could even result to negative profit including the capital. There are many points where the risk resides. It could be on the project/coin itself. Failing project/coin means no profit. Another is in your side. Your decision could compromise your profit. This is the decision regarding when to buy/sell. Your way of safekeeping your coin is also a factor. Hackers are always around so if you are not good at keeping your coins then your "should have" profit could be theirs.

It is advisable to pick strong coins to invest in. The stronger the coin is the less the probability of loss.

Only those who understands the basics of cryptocurrency would not panic or exaggerate when the market is falling. Yes, the number 1 reason for many people to panic sell during price fall is they do not understand how cryptocurrency works. They do not know that it is a natural event. It is good to see that many are not panicking when the price is falling.

Define "according to your personal preference" and in what specific aspect.

You can never trust predictions even though the one who published the prediction is a so called "expert". The cryptocurrency market is too unpredictable in many ways and believing in an expert is not a wise move. There might be some close results but relying on their analysis will not suffice.

Blockchain will not change the financial industry of the world because that change has already been started. Many companies had already adopted the technology, though not fully, yet, but the adoption and change is already there. There's no clear image of what will the blockchain bring when it's technology is being used to it's full extent. The financial industry is not the only aspect that will undergo revolution. A lot more industry will follow this wave.

Not fixed? As in in terms of price? If you'll notice, every currency is not fixed also. 1 USD to YEN conversion always changes even other currency. They are just saying that the cryptocurrency is not fixed because it is always being referenced to another currency. 1USD will stay 1 USD because it is not being referenced to another currency. In fact, the value of USD changes always, people are just not aware of it. So if we will take a look at a cryptocurrency by just that specific cryptocurrency, will it change? No. Example: 1 ETH will stay 1ETH just like 1 USD will stay equal to 1 USD.

Cryptocurrency gets its price from the community or in other words the price of a cryptocurrency is community driven.

Based from the current status of the market, we are struggling to move up and it seems we are still at the foot of a mountain so the best option is to buy more coins. Not necessarily Bitcoin, you can buy altcoin that is most likely to follow the price of Bitcoin such as Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, etc. By buying now, we can be sure that we are on board when the price soar up again.

Actually, I've never bought any Bitcoin nor Ethereum using hard cash. I earn Bitcoin through campaigns here in the forum so I've never loss a single penny. As far as I know many had bought when Bitcoin is at it's all time high. It's a headache for them now since we are more than 50% down from that price.

I've heard about cryptocurrency for more than a year ago. Did not really pay attention to it until I end up here and gain much knowledge.

I think the term you are looking for is difficult and not impossible. If we are to talk about possibility then it is possible but considering the current situation of the market then it is difficult. For the record, I used the term "might" in my statement above so I did not directly said that Ethereum will reach 3000 this year. I stated that it might, showing possibility but in a lower rate.

Investing or buying now is a good decision now since, just like you said, the market is in the red zone. Yes it is risky to invest but you can lessen the risk if you will invest in a reputable coin such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. They are trusted by most of the community regardless if they are 50% down from their recent ATH.

I don't usually read articles about price prediction only titles that can catch my attention. You're right about no one could predict where the market will go. However, analysts are not called analyst for nothing. They are analyst because they can analyze the market. They are not always correct but their analysis has basis, always. You can treat their prediction as a guide but always expect the opposite. This is just looking at the north and south at the same time. You should have counter measures when the guide results to something bad.

Whoa your horses mister. It is good to be optimistic but you should take a look at the reality from time to time 
From 600 to 3000 in 3 months is great but this is very doubtful considering that the market is very much bearish at this moment and possibly for several weeks to follow. 3000 USD might be the highest price for 2018 but I'll play safe and say that the highest price might be between 2000 and 3000 

Btw, the quoted statement is not optimistic, it's delusional

The price of most cryptocurrency now is still low so buying now would be a great move in order to get on board before the train goes for a ride. We cannot say with certainty that the market will go down even more compared to the recent price. The price is low now so buying now would not be that bad because if the prices soars up again, profits here will be guaranteed. Waiting too much could lead to lose of opportunity so this one is your call.

I agrees with the stated coin in the article, ETH, BCH, EOS do have great potential in this market. But I don't really know why he rated them as neutral where they should be positively rated, IMO. Anyhow, neutral is very much good than negative 

I am just a bit worried about the last part when he said that "Bitcoin, however, should 'at least' end above $10,000 by the end of the year". The 10k and 19k(last ATH) span is very much wide. This would mean that we might be in a bear market for the whole year.
