that's the advantages and disadvantages, but the goal of crypto was created to decentralize everything and become transparent.
but if the project is indeed good, they will survive even though the price drops when it is released in the market.

I don't know much about the others but it's true as you say, the average ico has decreased after the release in the market.
or even worse after promoting ico for a long time there is no payment at all.
the chance can be said that only 20% of the many campaigns that I follow, even then it hasn't included a dump when entering the market.

yes, I really like points 2 and 5 I always get greedy when the coin I hold has a pump.
very hard to cashout the profit when get pump.
then no 5 now i realize that really happen now 

I don't know too much, now I don't intend to hold a coin for a long time, if I get paid exchange to ETH then try trading daily or exchange it directly to fiat if I feel doubtful.
unpredictable market you can lose a large amount in a short time, it's better to play it safe.

if there is no ETH, there will not be a lot of ico, and the funds that enter the crypto market become very small, can we see that ico uses the ETH platform on average, and if eth doesn't exist then payment uses BTC? with high FEE.
this is crypto why do you enter paypal ?, moreover you bounty hunter you should understand.

but the price drops close to hardfork, is this a trick to buy more, or is still in the same condition, the market remains the same because it follows the price of btc.
but my prediction when was hardfork there will be pump like BCC fork, even if only for a moment.

of course it can't be continuous, just as the rain can't happen there are times when the weather turns hot.
as well as the pump is not possible to continue, there must be a drop.

yep, and we don't know when it can be at the end of the year and maybe next year.
soon we will see hardfork news about ETH whether it will make ETH value rise, or even worse.
we just wait for the hardfork.

of course you can see from the market cap the comparison with position 2 is very far.
ETH and RIPPLE always compete to get second place while bitcoin laughs at the top.
no one can beat Bitcoin whether it's a new coin that has superior technology.
they will still use the bitcoin pair.

I think that's the case, if you only invest a little, of course the benefits are a little.
different from 2 years ago if you buy at the right time, the profits can be multiplied.
for example you can see the chart verge and neo at the beginning of 2017 and sell it in late 2017.

ont lose much this year same like other coin, but still survive.
because their project is indeed good.
many fell from the top100 ranking,we can see many newcomers taking their place.
but that does not mean they cannot return.

I think the bear market isn't over yet, there will still be another storm.
just because the turn of the year doesn't mean this is over maybe a few more years will happen.

I don't really expect it, because I prefer to use ETH because I follow a bounty campaign that uses an average token payment with the ETH platform, so I don't like it if the ripple is superior to ETH. no offense, it just my personal opinion.

I think you should keep it, the market goes down maybe a sign of people who want to buy in large quantities or vice versa they take advantage of this moment to sell because they already bought at the beginning when the price is still 80-90 $.

I do not know too well, there are those who say that ripple is only a place for money laundering, we can see that the increase in the end of last year dropped sharply.
but there are also those who say this is one of the best coins, and has spread everywhere.
maybe time will show it to us.

of course people are still trying to sell those who have a large amount, won't sell it at once because it will cause a dump, so they sell little by little, it's just my personal opinion.
my prediction bitcoin will recover in middle or late 2019 for the start.

good information, people will be helped by this feature, keep sharing information so people will come to your site.
if they like it, of course they will visit.

if you look at the graph it is really fantastic when people buy in May and sell it at the end of 2017 they have become billionaires, but you also have to look at VERGE charts, it is no less amazing than the NEO, you can compare it if you buy in the same month.

if this is a competition then I will choose ETH, no matter how big the ETH will go down I'm sure ETH will beat RIPPLE.
it is true that since last year they have been competing for the position, and at the end of 2017 ripple was in position 2 but only a few moments, then it was reclaimed by the king of ICO.

there will be no bullrun this year, meaning there are no new shoes hahaha I doubt it, you see the price movement does not show an increase even after the new year the conditions are not much different.
maybe in the middle of the year it will be a little different.
