With the current trend of restriction from different governmental authorities and many ICOs failing to achieve the softcap, it would be a hard year ahead for the cryptocurrency market.

And the new generation are more adaptive to change and they would like to explore new ideas and ways to make their life easier and the world a better place. There's no way for any person a group of people to restrict these people to venture new horizons.

Though ForkDelta came with good intention, still they lack the expertise and technology Etherdelta have. The team and the funding. So, ForkDelta would remain and end as a project work.

It's not an actual fork but an airdrop for the holders.
The new coin would have completely different blockchain.
And it somehow proves the accusations ETC devs are getting from the start.
ETC is dead.

Swift always had been problematic and slow. With the recent news of hacks through swift, banks need to move on with better alternative that would facilitate the institution as well its customers.

Yes, Monero is the default payment currency for dark web and all new silk road variants, Dash too is quite popular and often gets associated with funding terrorism. Zcash is too catching on.

Bitcoin and Ethereum will still be no 1 and no 2 at the end of the year. Ripple's 3rd place might get displaced. Bitcoincash or NEO will likely hold the 3rd and 4th place and EOS and Monero may rise to safeguard their top 10 position.

Blockchain technology has brought up funding for every kind of startups.
Though centralised servers may offer cheaper services, it's the uptime and quality that excels P2P services.
I believe Gladius will change the market trend on web security.

With the return of Pre-ICO funds back to investors, what would be the fate of bounty program?

I'd add Moneypot and Mindpass to the list. Though they never went through ICO, their proposed ICO was hyped a lot and they withdrew the plan in the last moment destroying the fame of both companies.

Glad I've withdrawn and left that exchange already. With Goldman Sachs in charge, we would be able to see huge amount of manipulation on the prices and volumes of coins.

Someone please red trust these multi accounts promoting this scam. They have opened like a dozens of thread in this board alone to promote this cheap scam.

Likely a scam.
These brand new accounts are promoting Bitcoin Private whose website is just a copy of zclassic fork website and just have changed some figures and text while the links still point out to zclassic fork.

They claim not to store your private keys and the interface is just saved on your browser, but again like previous user stated, metamask would be better way to use it. Though the exchange has lost its charm at current time.

The privacy largely depends on the way people uses a coin.
So let's assume monerov is for less privacy oriented users who don't mind risking the use they had done with their holdings.
And rest of the privacy centered monero user would never claim monerov.

This is true, the price increase before the fork is generally larger than the decrease after fork and you also have the forked coin with you. So, it is wise to accumulate as much as you can before the fork and hold them.

In my opinion, NEO is ahead of most of the alternative competitor of Ethereum. They already have a dozen of tokens hosted and more than 30 on the line to issue the token on their platform. http://ndapp.org

If you just want to try using and exchanging crypto, use dogecoin. If you want some profit, look for a good token that has been decreasing since started trading, that thing would certainly rise one day.

I too believe cindicator to be a good investment option but it's highly unlikely for currencies with high market cap to get x2 or higher in a short amount of time. If you want quick to moon, buy newer coins with low price.

TRON is one of the sleeping giant in binance. Binanace coin, BNB too is a sure shot option for profit as they are increasing in price after every burn and the coins are getting limited.
