We should even consider the evolution of crypto market.
Putting every scam coins, dead coins with new tokens and securities coins won't present any clear picture.
Every of these coins and tokens need to be evaluated differently and as a whole.
Crypto market is evolving toward betterment.

I hereby participate in SIFR Bounty Program.

Among your list, strorm, minexcoin and poet were newer to me. On a quick look, I didn't got any positive vibe from their site or their whitepaper.
The rest of all are a risk free bet. Won't make you a large profit as well won't make you loss.

A coin moves to a hard fork because the developers thinks its the good thing for the future of the coin. But when there comes some devs that deny with the plan and continues to use the old branch, it decrease the overall credibility of the forked coin.

It is a way for companies to sell shares to investors which also is being used as a new way of scam.
Companies have a wide range of reason for choosing ICO than other options, one of the being low regulation and low accountability.

This is one of the reasons what makes binance a number one. They never lose their charm as they always listen to their users.
They have proved to be secure and trustworthy and open to everyone, not forcing anyone into anything and always the best rates in market.

You have missed the most important suggestion. Make sure you are working for a legit and worthy project.
Whatever you dedication may be, you'd never get credited from a scam project and it only would diminish your credibility.
There are many so called great asset to the forum gone down with the project they advocated for.

It would.
Bitcoin is a dead coin. It's just being traded as an antique.
While ethereum is a rapidly evolving vibrant technology.
Ethereum has already taken over bitcoin in number of transaction and soon would overtake bitcoin in total marketcap.

There are two perspective to look into.
The reason not to compare ETH with BTC is due to their underlying technology, their difference in fields and usability and nature of distribution.
But again they are comparable as an assets or commodity bought and sold for short term and long term profits.
So they are incomparable as crypto, but comparable as investment option.

There have been several occasions of ICOs being found to be lying about raised money in order to show themselves as a big project and garnish some attention of real investors. Almost every ICOs are struggling to get to their hardcap and many of them missing.

It's actually a hard fork which would immediately discard it's former branch as there are none in favor of continuing that.
This has already been done with Ethereum and would be done several more times to get the planned results.
No you won't be getting another coin.

Both of them are very similar economic investment options.
Stock on hand are highly regulated market that resist any sudden rise and fall, crypto on the other hand is a free market. So crypto has largest potential to profit or loss as compared to the stocks market.

Of course they are. I didn't even had thought they would go this long. It was lucky for the early investors but looking at its structure even a novice can tell its another bitconnect on making. Though they might not get to Top 5 cryptocurrency by marketcap but they too are making an effect.

Waves is actually a failed product. A missed shot.
Ethereum have other real competitors to worry about, EOS, Stellar, TORN, NEM, NEO, Cardano, they do posses some threat to Ethereum in various sector while waves is just a scammer heaven.

You have to be highly cautious before giving away your identity and passport to any so called ICOs as it may be a serious threat to you, your identity and your country. There are several cases of faked identities and identities sold over deepweb. Be sure your risk is worth when investing in a KYC compulsion token.

There's nothing as being oversold until there are people available to sell for a lower price. Though the real investors have started accumulating coins in a large volume which is both a good news for patient hodlers and a bad news for overall crypto adoption and future.

This would be a good strategy. Lower than ICO price trading have hurt investors opinion about ICO and investors not participating in the primary token sale is leading to more and more projects not being able to reach the market cap.

The current decrease in price has mostly affected the new ICOs leading to minimal investments, most not even reaching their cap. It would surely have an adverse effect on bounty campaigns as most of them are from the ICO projects. But it also doesn't mean you won't be able to achieve anything. Selecting a good project is the key to success.

I believe things would change in 2019 as there are already a lot of buying going on now.
If it didn't, that would sadly be the end of crypto market as we have experienced. No hodlers would have patience to go on if things don't change in 2019 leading to an ultimate crash.

Keeping profit in mind, EOS would be the best option. They are Ethereum with the benefits of Ripple. They are agile and efficient.
They could be the next big thing for ICO market for the next bull run. And a good investment option for now.
