Issueing a new crypto currency is easy, it doesn't need that much resource as if it's compared to paper money, it will just need bunch of programmer who know how to work with blockchain and create a cryptocurrency, even an individual could make their own cryptocurrency so there's no point of a country not having cryptocurrency when it becomes a trend across the world. Just my prediction is that cryptocurrency will be widely used as secondary national's currency for the effectiveness as a means of value transfer.

Not only that, even bitcoin also being called dead for hundreds of time and here we are, still watching bitcoin stands strong despite the market volatility that makes people overwhelmingly scared but atleast, the price of BTC is still up thousands percent compared
to back then when bitcoin is still not a thing and now people are worrying about altcoins, if you guys seem to worry so much, just remember that the cryptocurrency community is big enough to make cryptocurrency always alive.

The use of cryptocurrency for funding some project also a clear pattern that cryptocurrency is changing the world, if you dont believe, simply look at ETH, that coin making project fundraising become more accessible.
But not only that, the project that got fundraised also advancing the current technology and bring it to the next level, for example Remme that offer to implements unbreakable, foolproof user authentication to protect your users, employees, and company’s data from cyber attacks, Ubiatar, that offer an accessible solution to anyone who can't travel abroad by offering avatar's presence there and there's plenty more.

Only if the airdrop asking you for credentials data such as your ethereum address' private key, JSON, or else, other than that if they are asking for your email, they maybe got your wallet through luring you to fill in their phising website.
However, just always beware since airdrop generally created by random stranger who "obviously" always have intention, the token or coin that you may get from the airdrop always comes at price.

Popular altcoins's ICO tend to be over even before people could have the chance to even enter it, but there's also plenty ICOs out there that are quite promising but still open their ICO for public as for example, Remme, Ubiatar, and Multiversum.
Three of them have their own advantages while Remme enhancing security to embrace IoT, Ubiatar offer us to achieve human's dream to be everywhere by using Avatar presence, and multiversum offer 4th Generational blockchain. You should look into them and observe carefully maybe you will have some good impression about them.
Also, you need to look or find a project that's futureproof so that the chance of its value alwyas growing will be bigger, for example, Remme, its main feature is to improve security by offering foolproof,unbreakable user authentication which when the world fully getting digitalized, Remme will be the one which is very useful especially for authentication.

Altcoins that are using ERC20 or people usually call it a token will heavily tied to ETH's price and while ETH's price tied to bitcoin and always following its movement, therefore bitcoin affecting the price of the entire market as a whole.
Just to make you know, so many ERC20 tokens out there are heavily dependant on ETH price movement. Except, altcoins that's outside Ethereum's blockchain, those will more likely to only following BTC price movement.

Mine is Remme and Ubiatar, while Remme implements unbreakable, foolproof user authentication to protect your users, employees, and company’s data from cyber attacks. ubiatar gives us the ability to travel across the world without even being there.
Those two will sure be a big thing in the next trend, we are currently on a technology era where everything developing so fast so we need to invest our money and our time into something that is future proof.

We're not even going through a half year and you already said that, well, how pesimistic  . Just wait and see, the price of ETH could explode suddenly as well as bitcoin's price since I see that both of them have their price tied heavily so if bitcoin gets up, ETH will too, and then other altcoins aswell. However achieving $15K is indeed looks to dreamy, but everything can happen in this world right?
Even McAfee predicted that bitcoin could hit a million dollar each, atleast I can learn from his optimistic behaviour so that I can keep my brain positive everytime.

How about you try to use bitcoin's lightning network and Im pretty sure that you will be surprised how cheap it will become and how fast the confirmation will arive, the bitcoin's transaction can be even cheaper than bitcoin only if the people only use as small fee as they can but in reality people want their transaction to be confirmed as fast as possible, resulting in an increase of transaction fee massly which therefore affecting the blockchain as a whole.

Also there's remme and Eidoo, both coin have good future considering what they offer, currently they are at the bottom because bitcoin has sunken and its affecting the whole cryptocurrency market. But, this bottom price will be a really good point for investing.
I guess that when the market turns out to be bullish again, those will get pumped so hard. The opportunity for both coin I can say is great and it's not yet to be popular, just like when stratis still at early stage, no one knows, but by the time being, it become popular.

Promoting something doesn't affect that much, so small portion of people who you has promoted cryptocurrency to will really learn what is bitcoin from their own will, the rest will just ignore, about your strategy, well, that's actually what people have been doing since centuries.

It seems that majority of altcoin heavily tied to bitcoin's price, therefore, buying bitcoin actually has the same impact as buying altcoin if it's about comparing the pump and dump trend, however, the profit you may get from altcoin can be far bigger but ofcourse with bigger risk aswell.

.
Although I have the same thinking like you that this 2 years stupid propechy to fully recover is utter bullshit and there's no underlying factor that could prove its true I must say that due to volatility of bitcoin which is too high and the market that is still vulnerable against manipulation by group of whales, I can say, this topic is kinda irrelevant, since the market is like a speculative, moreover, there's seems no strong factor that could affect bitcoin other than anxiousness of the market.

That's right, but Ethereum also advancing its technology overtime, it's developing to suits what's the most efficient at the current time, I see it as ETH is trying to switch from PoW to PoS and it seems like a good thing, less electricity needed for the whole Ethereum blockchain means more eco-friendly and not wasting energy for nothing. Well, even though to stake, it require ridiculously high amount of ETH inside your wallet.

Many countries have been trying to develop blockchain further and will probably integrate or embed blockchain to their governance system, one of my country's local bank even says that the use of blockchain could benefits efficiency and speed up transaction.
Actually if we are talking about blockchain, so many countries really welcome it, they think blockchain as a revolutionary idea, but bitcoin could potentiall threat their economy if it's legalized especially third world country.

Investment to earn money only if the thing you're invested to offering divident rewards, otherwise, it's for doubling money just like stocks trading.

Then you're a miracle to be able to foresee the future to know which coin of yours has the potential to grow even 1 thousand percent, frankly honest here, so many people are dumping even if their coins just rising at the slightest mainly because they don't know what future holds.

Investing for making money will not eternally give you benefits but instead, once the money gone, then it's gone but different with education, if you succesfully finished a high level education, you will have the ability to survive in this world, as this modern world has designed to be beneficial only for those who have special ability and the rest will always lives in misery. But don't get me wrong, the money you make from bitcoin can be invested to education too.

Not very difficult if all countries around the world unite, but I guess that it will not totally eliminate bitcoin from existence, there might be some people who still uses bitcoin secretly to avoid
government's punishment so by that the blockchain will still have transaction, the miners still there even if the hash power will running down drastically.
