Perhaps focus less on projects that may risk falling under a securities classification for now until that area gets clarified further unless you specifically want to speculate

When the market recovers it may be the best quality assets that lead in terms of appreciation and overall liquidity

Calls of "when moon..." and "when lambo..." have certainly abated for now

If you bought into the all the hype last year that might have been a bit unfortunate but the cap is still tiny and there's plenty of room for future improvements so if you keep that in mind there's potential to recoup when the market matures further, and these corrections are certainly a welcome invitation for savvy new investors!

Unless you're a fan of this sort of niche there probably won't be much value in these forks considering the negative impact they've had for serious investors so be prepared for plenty of speculation when you trade these types of assets

There most likely won't be a bull run unless there's lots of new capital flow into the market and this is likely to come from institutional investors not necessarily retail so keeping tabs on when that can occur might provide an indication of when there'll be an upward momentum

This question gets asked a lot but the obvious answer is take market conditions into consideration when you invest not just the future potential each project can have

If there's a lot of uncertainty perhaps just stick to the low risk assets especially if you can get them nice and cheap then diversify later as things improve

You are right it's always the best time to invest when there's a significant dip in the market just make sure you make sensible choices with a focus on gradually accumulating top quality alternatives at a discount which will provide solid returns once things improve again

If I was an institutional investor keen to speculate about future value and even invest a little I'd be sitting back loving the current trend right now unlike some of the sentiment in here

You could certainly collect a lot of these tokens in case they gained future value of some sort but the majority of them aren't backed by a strong development team and are more for experimental purposes

Just be wary of committing any capital to these types of projects considering you may never receive any returns on your investments

No one can accurately predict the future value of Bitcoin so simply determine what is a good entry price

Next year there are lots of developments that can at least bring the value up to a more reasonable level considering this heavy sell off, which has crashed the entire market has greatly undervalued it but presented a great buying opportunity nonetheless

Apart from stablecoins which are backed by collateral only the very top assets have the most overall stability due to liquidity hence they have the lowest risk when volatility strikes so if you're risk adverse they're definitely the best option for holding in the current market conditions

Perhaps its a little too soon to hope for another "bull run" just yet but there is potential for a brief turn around however it's unlikely the overall market cap will move back up past the minimum cost of mining for a short time but anythings possible

Not for now as there's simply not enough demand for any alternative to surpass it

The market is still struggling to recover and when it does Bitcoin will still have an insurmountable lead yet more innovation may enter which could allow some to catchup eventually

Has the market reached the bottom yet? That's pretty much impossible to predict but the value you can obtain investing in good quality assets at present suggests it wouldn't be a bad idea to accumulate just be aware that it may be a little while before the market improves

Well co-ordinated media FUD and significant amounts of dumping by large holders can occur and create enough panic to topple the market but those moments are opportunities to buy not sell if you're doing it right so don't fret if things get cheaper just don't invest too much of your capital into higher risk assets which may take longer to appreciate when the market bounces back

Not all ICO's are unsuccessful but a lot of these projects aren't based on an original idea or have a quality MVP ready for launch and investors are being more cautious now after having seen so many projects without these attributes fail since last year

Add to that a lack of regulation to protect investors and a declining market and you have a much more difficult climate for successful fund raising

It will no doubt make a come back from the current crazy decline in market cap eventually

There's a lot of very positive developments due in 2019 which will help add value and a modest improvement in investor sentiment so the outlook is not going to be entirely gloomy

The market was in a bubble but that is far removed from now and the current crash is more manipulated through heavy dumping from large groups than through selling off by retail investors but there's no real need to panic as this correction is normal and shouldn't last for long

The present sell off indicates that it was over hyped during 2017 and the first half of this year but now a lot of speculation is leaving the market so there's not as much buy support which allows for the value to be manipulated more easily but there should be more institutional investment entering the market that will help spark a revival

The current phase is largely oversold but a recovery could take a while as there's no major events that can help add value to the market cap besides the Bakkt launch in January and the next ETF decision in February so early next year there might be potential for a recovery

Ethereum isn't a scam it's a legitimate project with one of the strongest development teams on the planet behind it but you are right the ICO craze of 2017 and early 2018 over inflated it significantly and all those projects cashing out greatly reduced its value but it will recover that in due time
