The government crackdown on crypto traders a few years back exponentially increased the number of people knowing about it. Now it's a general topic for news and the government is in indecision about how to handle it. I'm getting asked more and more about bitcoins and altcoins.
I'd say the percentage is well over 50%.

Glad I was there during the first announcement of Biblepay and actually participated through it's success. I'm feeling so stupid to sell off all my biblepay coins that I got in mining for cheap. Biblepay has been successful to distinguish it as a useful coin and have it's mark on the cryptosphere.

The market from February 2018 is in a sideways motion. There are crest and troughs but not a proper rise or fall in the price for most coins. This is the correction period after the price rise in 15, 16 and 17 and coins are getting to their real values as almost every coin had their price boom on that period.

For learning a skill, most of the scientist sums it upto 10K hours of practice/experience but again becoming a pro is an abstract state and no one really becomes a pro, they just learn from theirs and others mistakes and at least tries not to repeat them.

Though I don't see moonforum or any other clones of bitcointalk an immediate competitor of it but if the forum continues to make such decisions without any prior research about the effects it has on it's use. The forum is essentially forcing new users to buy membership and hence moving towards a format of paid forum.

It's all about supply and demand. How many  people are looking to buy or sale and upto how much high or low they may go.
If more of people (amount) wants to sell than the amount wanted to be bought, the price would decrease and vice versa.

I'm too optimistic for Ethereum to come back as a major cryptocurrency but the development speed and direction are not solving the immediate problems in the blockchain. The increased congestion and fees have resulted in halting of previous smart contracts. If smart contracts are not executed than what would be the use of it.

When choosing a currency to invest for long term the first thing I look into is people and companies behind it. Their prior experience and performances.
I don't just invest in a random project but when I do I keep holding them until I get the desired profit. I invested 5K on a coin which is grossing at about 1.2K at the moment but I believe in it's future and will be holding it.

The dumping have ended already. No one would dump when the price is stabler for six months. The last quarter of 2017 and fist quarter of the 2018 was the time for dumping when people were cashing out their profit. The current market price is due to uncertainty and manipulations. The people holding now are determined patient holders who would even hold it for a couple of years to cash out.

Crypto market is relatively unstable than other markets say stocks. Due to its nature, it's not a surprise. It's unregulated and depends mostly on speculation. After the hype of late 17, the market has corrected a lot and has been stabler than ever with low price fluctuations.

I would not call it the number one but it surely is one of the best bet for safe profit. No investors buying Ethereum below $250 would ever be unsatisfied with it's performance. It's time to buy more Ethereum and other alts.

Cryptocurrency is getting more and more sideways and people should be ready for such movements for the next year.
The current sideways movement signifies that the market is not being able to decrease anymore while it has still not get the enough interest to go for a bull.

It does depend on the project, bounty manager and bounty terms. Good project hires good managers that updates the spreadsheet at least weekly. Some of the bounties do have a term that states the spreadsheet would be updated at the end of bounty.

Scams became a synonym to ICOs. That's why we needed regulations to save the well intended ICOs from the scam ones.
Regulations would bring ICOs under jurisdiction though they may have lesser profit because of taxes, it would be still better than getting nothing.

ETH has again proved it's worth. Though it decreased more in comparison to it's competitor, it also rebounded better.
ETH is really important for the crypto market as it's one of the competitor of Bitcoin and one of them to check the dominance of Bitcoin in Crypto sphere.

Selling at a loss too doesn't make a sense. And it's not that everyone is a holder, if it were so, there would not have been transactions and hence the dipping market.
Only people who can hold and believes they'd have a better profit holding are the ones holding.

Blockachain enables a next level of transparency and automation. With the power of decentralization, we can achieve something controlled by all and none. Making every actions transparent and justifiable. Chinese government too has made many advancement in using blockhchain in every day activities.

This would be a matter for ICOs. As there are many things to be considered. For ongoing ICOs, it also depends on the way they set value for their token.

But price decrease devalues the Ethereum and along with the total Ethereum ecosystem.

Chiliz is the father of Socios, they are basically homie.
Socios.com has announced it. Though there is no confirmation by PSG, we could safely assume it to be true as socios is already a trusted platform and a partner of PSG.

You should try local exchange sites. A simple google search with your country's name would yield some and you should do some research to verify their legitimacy.
