Actually it can make x10 just as a coin with $10M market cap can make it, there is no difference in difficulty for me because high market cap coins can attract high volume easily

It is unpredictable, we can only predict it will go back its ath or not but I think it seems it can't go back that price in the short term, current downtrend might take 6 months to 1 year.

Not dead cat bounce I am sure about it, deat cat bounce happened when everything doubled after the crash. It might be bull trap but I don't think we need to clasify current market situation. 

They are not far better alternative to banks for sure, there are lots of issues right now and not all altcoins are actually currency or exist to be alternative to bank system. Bank system is still better to me.

Track some well known sites related to ICOs but as there are many ICOs good, it also depends on your luck. Sometimes the ico less known you participated can be very good you can't know.

It is clear that all altcoins depend on bitcoin, as you can see neither of these news have no effect on prices now. As bitcoin's price depends on speculation and regulation news now it will go to noom 

I am sure that it will crash again to $6000, it is not going to $10k for sure  but $2500 is just a speculation to scare weak hands, there is a huge buy wall in $6K

ICO must be regulated for sure. I can't see any reason why it should not be regulated. This is very serious things, billions of dollars have been raised.

I would rather monero instead of zcash. Zcash's privacy is doubtful and it makes me wonder. Monero is really one of the best as a currency.

I think 80% of alts can survive in the next 5 years but the value of them may not be satisfactory. There are also some alts will even survive in next 10 years like ethereum

No one knows anything, why do one encourage others. They just do it as they care themselves not the others. If crypto crashes very hard, I may encourage only myself to invest in it again.

  Are you new here? I think I will be happy if it stucks in that range for less than a year. It has stucked below its ath from 2013 for approximately four years and you complain about it now.

Bitcoin is unique as it is the first coin, it is not superior to other coins, so other coins can be like bitcoin or better than it. But it does not matter for bitcoin because it is different.

It may be bubble or not, but after the 2013 crash, it has taken years to recover, this is what hurts people. I think it can be even worse than 2013 crash  I've lost too much.

Late 2018 : $20.000 at least. I think we will see a bull market after this summer, so till that time bitcoin can really crash a lot but it does not take much time for it to crash to $4K or rise to $20K, so everything is possible in this year.

I was spending too much time on crypto but I think it does not worth to do it now. You may spend your time on a scam project. I bought big ones like btc and eth and just hodl them.

Pro traders do make good money but I do not as I am unequal to this.  I believe there is more losers in trading than any other activity.

I think hard cap is pretty low compared to trash hyped projects, though I don't think of investing it, it seems like it can be good investment.

That is very simple, only invest when every coin crashes but you can't know the end of crash, for that check out technical analyses

Lots of countries are already accepting them, they don't need to say we accept coins etc. If you can trade your coins in local exchange and start crypto related project, then it is okay in your country.
