The team has got a lot of developments to the deliver of the platform this year and this might make ethereum to grow more. It will not I anyway take ethereum out of the market, but it is an update to make of better, most especially in addressing the security.
I guess what we had in price during the last bull run was only little, the next might be see to be massive and will increase its market cap.

Ethereum is not yet done and it is proving that it is still the best among altcoins, which I believe it is. Even if the fork is done, there will still be more updates later in future.
It has long been predicted that ethereum will half the price if bitcoin, which will likely happen, but it is not yet time.
I still hold unto the believe that it is the king of all altcoins and not ripple that some people thought of.

This standard has long been in the crypto space. Although, at a point, ethereum was displaced by ripple, but I knew it was, but for  moment. Ethereum is not back to it's position and it is still growing. I envisage that, the developer was initially testing the resilience and patience of ethereum fans and see how rugged some people might be to hold, yet there were those that sold theirs off too early.

Some positive things have happened since the inception of this year and more are still preparing to manifest. Take for instance, ethereum that some people have lost hope on. Little did they know that, it has been well established to the point that, it is very much in use. Updates are still coming up and we are eagerly waiting for that. Change at this time is inevitable and will surely happen.

If it is already agreed that bounty hunters will be paid in btc or even eth, it would have been the best. I came across a project, whose name is Desico. This project claims it is issuing out security tokens, although not registered with any regulatory body.
After bounty participants had worked for them, it was now later announced that they will not be paid, so i was thinking that can't they be paid in eth or btc, since they do not want to pay in their security tokens.

I can't imagine experience the bearish market of 2018 and yet not learning some very important lessons. I am sure a lot of people who in one way or the other were affected, will have something to say and would have known about how to engage of combat some difficulties inherent in crypto space.
The experience is not enough for one to quit, but it is mean to equip you more.

The problem that some projects encounter, despite how serious they may be , is that they may be stuck in the  process of developing their products and might be able to complete.
I am always interested in medical projects and i came across one that is still at the developmental stage of the project for almost a year now. I am always interested in using products like that, but what do i do in this situation.

Both bitcoin and ethereum are like standards for other altcoins. Although, there are still quite some number of altcoins that are paired with others as their base pairs.
The coin that determines or that other altcoins are dependent on most is bitcoin. If you check the dominance level of bitcoin in percentage, it is a little above 50%. Which shows that it is the most determinant factor, followed by ethereum.

There are times one might not be able to predict how long the market might be bear. Just like what happened this year, almost everyone did not know that the bearish market would be prolonged. There are times one just have to take the risk or before making any decision, try to check the different social media of the project, to know what they have in plan for the present and future.

There are thousands of coins in the crypto market. The percentage of those we know is not upto those we do not know. For instance, if the check the coinmarketcap, we have less than 2073 coins listed, while in the general market, there are numerous and even countless number of them that are not lisyed on CMC.
If a coin does not have a true product that is in use, do not bother buying it.

I believe we are only experiencing what the true nature of cryptocurrency is, no one can truly tell if it is a trap to make buyers to get in and dump on them. This might still be a form of retracing. There are times that when a coin rises, some people might use that opportunity to sell what they have and if it plummets again, they will buy back. That has been the strategy of traders.

You  ought to have started with an appreciable little fund that you can afford to lose. Trading requires some levels of skills and sometimes you have to train yourself before going into it. Then trade the coins that you truly know, mainly the coins you understand and try to get updates. Updates can help you to know when to buy and when not to buy, and vice versa for selling.

I  do not think we can use that to conclude that it is better or to even choose the one that is better. We all know how long ethereum has been able to maintain that position, before ripple took over. Then we need to see how long ripple will also be able to maintain it. Then the partnerships that XRP is having, is what I feel couldbe contributing to its growth, so if all these end, we might see it plummet again. So, time I feel will tell which is better.

The major factor contributing to the dump in market or better still, bearish market, is manipulation and scam.
Had it been the space is regulated, then all these would not have happened, but despite the decentralized system of cryptocurrency, it seems to be porous and allows scammers in some aspects, most especially ICO. Had it been it is regulated, them scammers would have be left with no option, but to retreat. Then there are manipulations in the market.

Whenever the price of a coin plunges, there is always a factor or some factors behind it. Sometimes, some people think its only shit coins that plunge, howbeit, it can also happen to genuine ones.
We are in bear market and Ethereum is not the only coin that us affected. Ever since it's been observed that so many investors have decided to pause investing in the crypto market, the marketcap has been reducing, so no one wants to buy coin at high rate, because they are afraid of what might happen next.
Nonetheless, improvement is now gradually setting in.

Accept my sincere sympathy for what happened to you. I believe that you can still recover your losses. When there is life there is hope. Inasmuch as you're not running away in fear and you still have the courage to face the challenges that might come your way, you are still likely going to retrieve back what you might have lost. You just start again like someone that is just starting afresh and make good use of what you have learnt.

Another coin has now come in between the two and ETH is now on 3rd position, although it does not demean ETH.
If a coin is not growing as expected, then there might be no real development happening to it. Most times, when there is any development, it will be announced and that is what makes the price to grow. Although, recently ethereum has been seen to grow  and the it was growing despite not much significant growth on BTC.

There are so many many developments happening lately as regards XRP and just recently another one was announced by Binance. XRP will likely go a long way than we expected and despite it being a centralized coin, it seems to have been established and has carved its own niche in the cryptosphere. Although, making it a base pair for some coins might not have much impact on the price.

I think without smart contracts, it would not have been easy for so many ICOs PR projects to survive and succeed in he crypto space. There are so many coins that have used the platform of ethereum  before leaving and moving to theirs. Had it been there is nothing of such, then the survival rate would have been slim.
Well, there are still some that will survive even at the start, if they already gave the fund for it.

I know nothing about your project, but  talking about commodity trading, crypto will be a very useful tool for that and will make a lot of things easy. Very soon, virtually every store will want to make use of cryptocurrency, because it saves resources, time, energy and brings transaction into completion within a very short time, which on a normal ground, has been tedious.
Cryptocurrency has got lots of opportunities that we cannot afford to miss.
