Well the biggest factor is the adoption rate. The crypto market is still at a early stage and as the adoption rate increases we are going to see more payments being made using cryptocurrencies. I'm pretty sure that cryptocurrencies are going to become the number one medium of payment in digital transactions due to the privacy and security it provides.

If you are talking about the low price of Ethereum than I'm not surprised with the low price cause all the ICOs getting paid in ETH was going to have a negative effect at one point. The market is having a huge selling pressure due to the ICOs selling their collected coins to get money to run their operations.

I won't recommend you both the methods. Buying during an ICO and after the token is listed on exchanges is not a good strategy. The first thing that you should do is research about the token instead of just buying the coin in the hopes of its price increasing after getting listed on the exchanges. When mostly the opposite happens and the price drops by half after getting listed.

No this is not going to be the norm forever. Scaling solutions are currently being developed and are going to be implemented in the coming months. Sharding, proof of stake and plasma are going to increase the ethereum transaction speeds to astronomical levels which should fix the current problem.

The Blockchain Technology is still developing and you are going to face such issues while something is still being developed and improved. And Bitcoin is the reason why you are still here and getting the opportunity to invest in Crypto markets, without Bitcoin there had been no other cryptocurrencies.

Those who sold their altcoins during that time are lucky right now cause the markets have fallen massively after that. Everyone has different reasons for selling their altcoins, some have reached their target sell price, someone want the money for buying something and some just panic sell.

Coins using the DAG Technology have one of the fastest transaction times. Coins like IOTA in fact get faster as more users start using it. Also Ethereum will be able to scale to millions of transactions once plasma is implemented. There are many other altcoins which can handle large number of transactions.

Unless the Crypto market is regulated I don't think that cryptocurrencies can become less volatile than gold. The reason for that is cause if the crypto markets are regulated than no one can manipulate the price easily, whereas if the Crypto market is unregulated the whales manipulate the price and causes massive price swings.

Currently there aren't many cryptocurrencies which can beat Bitcoin, only a handful of coins have the potential but in the future there are going to be coins developed which will make Bitcoin obsolete. Currently only Ethereum has the potential to replace Bitcoin as the king in the short term.

I don't think that NEO will be able to beat Ethereum as a smart contracts platform and become the number one coin. Just have a look at the number of tokens and decentralized applications being developed on the Ethereum platform and than take a guess if NEO will be able to beat Ethereum to it.

You should be blaming the investors who are investing in these new projects without doing any research. If so many people are going to just give their money away than obviously there are going to be new ICOs launched with not much future and which are created just to grab as much money as possible.

Of course the whales control the markets otherwise who do you think causes these price swings in the Bitcoin markets. There are many people who own hundreds of thousands of Bitcoin and they are the ones who can cause a flash drop very easily and control the markets.

Ethereum is a far bigger project than Neo. Also Ethereum has thousands of tokens and decentralized applications developing on it where as Neo doesn't has many on its platform. Also Neo isn't completely decentralized whereas Ethereum is a decentralized currency, which is a must for many people.

Dogecoin is a community coin so if you are trying to find real world use cases for it then obviously you are going to not find any. As long as it has its community there's nothing that is stopping it from staying relevant. Not everything in this world should have a use case for it to exist.

I won't say that technical analysis always works accurately in the crypto markets. The Crypto market is just too volatile for it to work properly. Also one is better of holding and daily cost averaging then trying to trade, as you are more likely to get better returns by holding then by trading.

I won't sell all my Bitcoins I will keep at least half of them cause you never know which coin will pump and which won't. Also Ethereum price is still tied to that of Bitcoin so whichever direction Bitcoin moves Ethereum is going to follow. I would wait till Ethereum price is decoupled from that of Bitcoin before going all in into Ethereum.

I think at this point $300 is quite reachable. One big dump and we will be in the $300 price range. I'm eagerly waiting for Ethereum to reach that price level so that I could make my bags more heavier. As the future is very bright for ethereum and there is nothing stopping it from reaching the moon.

There is nothing wrong in investing more than $10000 into Crypto markets. The only thing that matters is how you invest and in which coins you invest. Also investing the whole amount at one go is not recommended and you should daily cost average, you will be able to avoid buying at the top this way.

The crypto market is still going to be a volatile and risky market no matter what you say. not everyone has so much savings or extra cash that they could afford to lose it into the crypto markets. Everyone is under different conditions and situations. It's just not that easy to invest huge amounts for everyone.

Most of the tokens end up at half the prices after getting listed on exchanges. so I don't think that buying a token right away once it gets listed on an exchange is the right strategy to follow. You need to wait for some time so that you could get a better purchase price. Also you need to see which direction the project is going before investing in it.
