Actually, big hype was last year, I have checked, how many visitors crypto related websites had in the past, and sadly, it is keep decreasing in 2018. But true, people investing in crypto tend to not look at themselfs as investors, but they are.

I do not make plans how many years, so many things can change very fast. But not planning to sell any time soon, maybe take out some profit, if things are doing good (not like in the last 10 month)

Burning the unsold tokens is a good tactic IMO, we should not forget, that people tend to judge the coins / tokens not just by the actual price, but also by the total market value, and the smaller the circulating supply is, the less the market cap, which means theoretically more room to grow.

Luckily I haven't been hacked yet, but have seen a lot of scammers, trying to steal coins, tokens in many ways, these scammers are quite tricky. Even in pools, bounties, there are so many of them. People have to be very sharp, and it truly ruins the market judgment.

Yes, I also see this huge trend change, and I agree it is better this way. Last year literally everybody could raise a lot of money through ICOs, now only the best ones are able to reach their hard cap. I am curious, if this will change again in the next bullmarket, or the current trend remain permanent.

Well, maybe not cocaine, but Lambos and woman sure But of course I would not sell my Altcoins for pennies, in the opposite, whenever I see some sign of a possible uptrend, I buy more.

We can learn from the past, similar bearmarket happened before, but who remembered that in 2017, when everyone was so optimistic. I think time will repeat itself, and surely there will be people, who will regret, that wasn't patient enough.

As for a beginner, I would say just buy some Bitcoin first, and learn from crypto more. A lot of people make the mistake IMO, that enter the market, register to some exchange, and start to buy all kind of Altcoins, which can make him / her burnt easily.

Bitcoin lost about 70% of it's all time high, while Altcoin in most cases more than 90%. So it is logical to think, that Altcoins will have more place to grow, when the market start going up. If we assume, Altcoin prices were not pumped up too much back than. We'll see.

It is true, that there were so many ICOs last year, and in most cases, we are still waiting for an MVP become a nice, working product, and if these happening in a wide range, it can be beneficial for the market.

I agree, that nobody should feed the scammers, and so they would just stop trying after a time. But a huge part of this community does not have enough wisdom yet, to make proper decisions. Anyways, there are many ICOs, which are not scammers, and I would not blame them, just because other's dishonesty, I believe many ICO has a good intention.

If the developers are anonymos, so we can not find their background, can not contact them personally, then it is itself a "red flag". ICOs with good intention do not work anonymus IMO.

I think bounty hunters and investors are very similar, the different is how they pay for the tokens (work / money) And also, if I participate in a bounty, I pick it just as carefully, as an ICO, I invest money. Not sure if everybody thinks like me, but I have never considered myself as a dumper, when I earned tokens through bounty.

As I heard, someone liquadet a couple thousand Bitcoin, and put it on an exchange, and this might have been the reason of this quick dump. It is not worth to panic, the market is still "thinking" which direction to go.

Literaly end, I do not think so. But could imagine, that a little bit more regulation will come in the future. Also heard, that STO-s may get more popular in the future.

Agree, no matter how much we study cryptocurrencies, we can always learn something new, and also we should.

It also depends, when you want to buy these coins. Right now, I feel like they are extremely dangerous investments, because the smaller coins are usually affected more of the bearmarket. But a year ago, they had the most potential to earn a fortune, within a short amount of time.

I am a little bit afraid, that we may not going to see the usual bull market this december, but it does not mean that I am pessimistic. I am very confident, that there will be a nice uptrend within a year, possibly when the Bitcoin Etf will be accepted, the sooner the better.

There are so many ICOs, which means the number of Altcoins growing continously. Sure, there won't be 10.000s of Altcoins with high value in the future, or at least for me it seems too much. But in every fields, there can be more, so competition does not mean, only one can survive IMO.

I haven't heard this rumor yet, but would not even believe it There is nothing in Litecoin, why it could surpass Bitcoin. Or I do not see..
