Cant be sure about 2018 but by 2019 it will sure reach that price point. With so many great news lined up for the Ethereum project there is no where to go but up and with the current rock bottom prices there cant be a better time to purchase then now.

The thing that makes the blockchain technology a success is the decentalized nature of it. And Ripple doesnt has that single most important feature. Without decentralization why not just use a database? And with Stellar in the equation, it threatens the Ripple market.

No actually trading is bad for your health as it takes away your sleep and your peace of mind. But if you only hodl what you can afford to lose then there cant be a better thing then HODLing. HODL is only bad for those people who invest more than they should or people who buy from credit cards.

Nothing can be said right now but yeah $3k range is a possibility which isn't too crazy to predict. Bitcoin has usually fallen by that much percentage from its ATH for the past rallies. And the harder Bitcoin pumps the harder it falls.

Yes they do. As the decentralized nature of bitcoin threatens the monopoly of banks over the world. Bitcoin has the potential to make the banking system obsolete. Why would we fear banks? Even if banks ban bitcoin purchases through bank transfers or cards there is cash options.

I don't really think you are going to earn much this way as you will hardly be able to generate any hash power with your browser. And Bitcoin is a ASIC miners market now and your browser power wont even matter. Its like just a tiny fish in the whole ocean.

Maintaining low volume coins is very expensive for an exchange as it isn't easy keeping up to date with the wallet softwares and many times the wallets have issues as the exchanges handle millions of transactions. Also these coins just clutter the other coin pair listings.

Theres no such thing as a promising ICO in the current time. The better a ICO looks from far away the worse it gets on looking from inside. All the white papers these ICOs have is copy pasted shit and good looking images. You are better off investing in already established coins.

If blockchain hadn't been secure than someone would have hacked it by now. The only thing that blockchains should be worried about is quantum computers. But still then the blockchains can change their algorithms to something that is quantum resistive.

Instead of taking this as a negative news this should be taken as a positive news for the crypto world. As it will prevent new users from getting hacked or phised out of their coins. Also this will prevent scam ICOs and future coins like bitconnect from promoting themselves to new users.

I think you are better off investing in ETH instead as it has continuous good news lined up for it this whole year and the next. With POS, sharding and plasma coming there is nothing thats going to stop the ETH train from going to the moon again.

Greed. The greed of huge returns can make a person ignore basic research to be done on a coin. Bitconnect was mostly promoted through youtube by guys with huge followings and since it was promoted by someone they trusted they bought the coin based on its hype and didn't do any research on it.

Yes it has survived. No matter how many coins are forked out of bitcoin, as long as btc has the current dev team developing for it no other fork can pass it. And the current drop in price is nothing but correction after the mega rally bitcoin went through in the past few months.

I don't know why everyone is taking this news as negative. This is actually one of the best news to come out in a very long time. Just think about all the new users who wont get scammed or hacked due to clicking on a fake search result. Also the scam ICOs wont be able to promote themselves to new users.

The people panic selling bitcoins now are going to regret it really bad once they realize that this volatility is normal in the bitcoin world and that bitcoin is here to stay and isn't going anywhere. Its reached its ATH once and its going to break it sooner rather than later. One just needs to be patient and have trust in bitcoin.

Then let them think so. It doesn't matters what they think. Once they realize that they are the only ones left who aren't invested in the cryptocurrency market and are being left out of the crypto riches will they realize their mistake. There is no solution for someones ignorance.

Is blood important for the human body to work? A project without product is like a body without skeleton. Without product a project has no value. Why would someone invest in a project when there is no product to show case. What should he invest in the project for if not for the product? Even if a project has the worlds best crypto devs but without a product the project is nothing but zero in value.

It doesn't matters if the coin is new or old, more than 90% of the coins are going to fail. But yeah you are right in saying that new coins are scams. The rate at which the ICOs are launching and exit scamming everyone is astounding. Still no one bats an eye on this problem. The social media sites banning crypto ads is a good thing and will prevent the ICOs from scamming new users who arent aware of forums like this or the other prominent crypto related websites.

Bitcoin is too big now and no country is going to ban it. Bitcoin will survive even with a ban due to the decentralized nature of it. Also no one can predict even for the next 10 years let alone predict for the future in 50 years.

Once bitcoin reaches a much bigger market cap than the current one. Its going to be a lot harder to manipulate the price as a huge amount of money will be needed to do so and that should stabilize the bitcoin price.
