My conclusion for your observation wouod be that there are more speculators with ethereum more than bitcoin. Bitcoin is widely used and better received worldwide compare to ethereum but the ICO favourite platform is ethereum platform ,that should explain why there are more speculators with ethereum more than bitcoin!

Thinking about not selling all my holdings at the peak of cryptocurrency market last year,.all I am thinking of is the euphoria that surrounds the market and wr were throwing numbers forgetting that cryptocurrency have to developed and mature with adoption before there could be market that support those numbers!

Initial coin offering is not a new phenomenon, many successful project have raised fund by it and we have seen it's impact and it's unique system of ensuring adequate exposure forproject and attracting funds to a project! ICO isa good investment if you can recognise the good ones!

This is the simple maths for long term holder of quality crypocurrency. The lesser the price, the higher the profit! The current crypocurrency price is creating a unique opportunity for those that do not have huge caputal but can afford these cheap prces for future profit!

Bounty hunting is not as profitable as it was last year, may be next year will be differenin terms of quality project in cryptocurrency space which will in turn create successful project that will increase the value of bounty earned!

It is already worse off for so many investors and traders, how bad can it get to? will cryptocurrency market bottom down to zero? I am not afraid of what happen next in terms of value decrease, just want to see growth and developmeent  in cryptocurrency space!

The current market called for been cautious so you do not get trapped into bounce or what appear like a mini bull which could just be bull trap! I believe it is important to wait out the downtrend market until we start to invest in order to preserve the value of our funds!

There will be no finality in the case of development of blockchain and it's allied services! We are going to continue to see data platform and software devlopment towards the development of blockchain technology and at the right time, will we see value rise and robust market for blockchain based project!

Bull run is not likely to happen this year, the reverse is the case in cryptocurrency market now and I believe early next year may not be any different from what we have seen this year. I only hope that  market will not fall any further in order for the market to avoid a case of fail market!

Some of the reason for cryptocurrency downtrend and persistent fall in price have already been mentioned by you, the other reason for fall in price might not be unconnected with saturation of tokens and many unused altcoin.

If you are using myetherwallet, your need to use password will be nil! You really do not need password to unlock your wallet with mew since your coin is not saved on any server, mew only give you access to interact with  ethereum blockchain, your password is onpy needed to rap your private key of which you can decide not yo use password!

I have seen many project investor hundreds of thousands on ethereum platform to get their ICO moving and large amount of funds in Million has bee raised on ethereum platform and there has notbern any loss of funds or ethereum network failure that caue project yo fail. As it has been noted, ethereum has gain public trust and is only a matter of time before ethereum recover it's losses!

I personally think enough work are not been done to santize the ICO space, masternode kind of oversight is very apt and can be explore to create a decentralized oversight standard to monitor and recorgnize quality ICO away from Scam ICO!

Altcoin have expanded the scope of cryptocurrency. We can now use cryptocurrency in different sector and for many case use from logistics to AI to machine learning to sport. The future of cryptocurrency is central to economy of other technology like robotic, communications and machandize!

The future is the promises we see on altcoin like ethereum, eos, neo etc. Cryptocurrency is evolving technology and when growth and eevelopment leads to tangible product and services, adoption of cryptocurrency will be easy and today's promises will become tommorow realities!

Ethereum is special because it offers decentralized trust system that can be coded in to smart contract which is useful for businesses, transactions and day to day activities that need some sort of reliance. All this request can be made and service deliver without trust party!

The most important aspect of cryptocurrency investment and trading is the part where you have to wait. Waiting as it is involve lots of planning, stratergy and execution. Waiting is a learned skill!

It is not brainer, when you accumulate cheaply, you are doing the right thing and you are positioning yourself to take advantage of bull waves when it happen. You will so please with yourself that you bought at the time you did!

I seriously wish this will not happen and if it does happen, I will still he holding my ether until it get to price I am comfortable with. I know the risk and the uncertainty before investing, I will not turn back on my decision to hold!

Price is always a moving target in cryptocurrency. Sometimes, you would wish you know how exactly the market will turn out so you coukd make a move for profit, but the market does pull surprises everytime. The important thing is to secure whatever price yiu think is good for you whether you sell or buy!
