Yes, seeing your portfolio losing its value from time to time, it's hard accept in that instead of gaining you keep seeing a red mark and it's very annoying,
we all needs to learn how to analyze and sets our limits to much higher as surviving from this type of market can be much longer, if you are stress enough
maybe you need to close your device and have some fun go out with your friends and forget about your assets for a while.

Bitcoin still have lots of supporters than any alts, and since it is the first crypto people who knows crypto industry will always look for bitcoin as the main basis inside the market, so even we see alts which gaining support from its community still bitcoin will be the basis of it's current value and how people
will be move to support and to be attracted from that project.

Time will come and more and more people will find suitable ways to have another alternative payment process, bitcoin will be adopted when more establishment recognized the system as a good additional ways to pay your bills, it will be revolutionized and we are all hoping for that to happen
we just needed to help promoting/introducing it to more businesses around.

And in the otherside it can also falls more than that, the bull is longing been waited and still a questionable actions, we all hope that things will be more
interesting when december start and if some changes will happen, many already feared the downfall and already sell out thinking that they need to lessen their losses, let's wait and see what the last month will bring this year for crypto.

Main reason why people believe in such delusion is having no real understanding about this market, there's a lots of speculations and different opinions about how the future will bring to this industry, it's now a depends on how individual understanding and trust whether to give up or stay positive and hope for the best outcome results.

There's  a saying that sun will shine after the rain, after this massive downfall we will soon to see bounce back and green will show back around the market, we just needed to willingly wait and keep our coins inside our wallets, if you have some extra savings and you are a risky type of investor you can go and buy more, waiting will be rewarded if you still have trust from this industry.

Manipulators always goes to a different directions, when investors and traders expect things to happen inside the market, manipulators always find
time to change the directions of current events, I seen that it should be learned by people who wanted to survive and make their investment keep
being intact as many things can happen along the road.

Carefully assess everything before you start placing your money, this situations is really tempting especially if you will traceback the previous value of such projects, but it's also in need to know how far you can go just incase that the value will continue to fall and how long you can hold and stand with your positions so you won't lose in a short period of time.

It's really a big risk for ICO investment, looking for what is currently happening the value of major coins to use for investment are really dropping and like what OP said it is making the token value much cheaper, the risk of failed project are really a big stake developers need to rely with the collected funds in order to proceed and with the current fall it will be a difficult situation for them.

If talking about tops coins yes indeed binance really have a good volumes and numbers of traders, but since not all coins are listed from this exchange that's why we also needs to consider other exchange like bittrex,poloniex and all of those existing exchange even ETH based exchange its also all about the coins that we are going to trade but I also agree with binance being on the top of the list,.

All time low? oh well maybe it's needed for more backtrack in order to gain some refresher regarding to this current market, as crypto before last year only value much lesser than 1k$ and we are still in a 4k$ mark until today, but yes, emotional stress really placing lots of traders and investors as this massive downfall affects their decision making, might be much better to stay away while the downfall still ongoing.

If SEC will accept it as one of those assets then we will see a much stronger growth of cryptocurrency, we knew that with any good news that will spread around investors will show up little by little, what is currently happen right now is speculators are really having issues with this panic selling and they stop playing for a while and see how dip this downfall will bring and start to invest back when seen growth so don't worry much everything will be in its positive side time will come.

You can use other's opinions while you are monitoring the trends, just what you have said above realizing the possibilities are still in our own decisions, most likely investors and traders have their own speculations and assessment with this current trend, we do need a good analyzation skills in order to
prevent mistakes we should remember that we are dealing with our hard earned money so we must be selective in each decision making.

We all have our own positions and we do need to believe in our own destiny, if you are willing  to wait and you willing to patiently holds then it will bring success in the long term journey, but if you wants to have short term goals, you can also manage to take every opportunities that the market is bringing
knowing all the fundamentals and carefully assess the movements of current market.

The only thing that we can do right now is to wait and see if what will happen after this week, the downtrend still continue and not only ETH but almost all of those coins around the market are also suffering, bitcoin while still in its bloody trend are really affecting the value of each existing coins, when BTC start to showed green light, alts will follow especially ETH which most of the time came close to BTC movements..

If there's a good balance regarding to the collected funds, the bounty will not affect that much, but if the developers are just aiming for money surely the value of coins after listing will be dumped as the team behind will accompany those bounty hunters dumping ths coins, that's how important to analyze and assess each projects because not everything is all about bounty participations inside the market.

It's difficult to predict as always, when most are expecting some pumped most of the time dumped happens, look at the situations right now, we almost believes that 6k$ can be the barrier but its already been break and now its continue to fall even more, timing is hard to select as any moment can be
a changing scene, if you already holding some coins much prefer to stay positive and keep your coins.

The momentum will change though no can say when will be the right time but just what you've said bitcoin already survive for more than 10 years
and things fluctuate like before, the stormy days will end and sun will start to showed up, believe and trust your own instinct if it's needed to extend
your waiting period better than losing your money.

Protection wise, it's not favoring the investors but the developers are, before, there's no need of anything and it works and survive, but now KYC was being implemented and there's no positive effects might also the reason why investors who doesn't like to reveal their identity already stay away from crypto and find other venue to earned.

analyzing the trend will lead you to understand what proper actions to take with this downfall moments, panic most of the time leads you to make wrong decisions, if you are still wondering what to do its good to think twice and reassess anything that come inside your mind, speculations will come correctly if you have good understanding with any events that showing around the market.
