I think we need a lots of things in this market to turn it green. Firstly we need so real good news from USA or China. Or something like this big country. Then we need some institutional investors in this marlet. When they come market will surely go. And most of general people who always panic they have to calm. Then this ICO market the problem is we saw a lots of failed and scammed project. We need more people to analysis ICOs which is good or not instead of promote bad project. And we need some platform who talk about ICOs properly. I think at this moment we need this type of things.

I think holding what you have and buying new Bitcoin is better option than selling. In last few months we saw some bit corrections in the market. This is one of them so I don't think that panic will help a little bit. It just give you more headache. Just don't think about it. It will recover as soon as possible. Even the market was stable for a long time. Many news coming market is going up and then suddenly this bch guys make this market q circus. And you can see what happens. Just wait it will recover in a month. Or maybe on a week. And who know maybe the bull run comes with it.

Both of them are very good and have great potential in this market. But if I have to choose I will choose ethereum. Ok that dont mean I don't like ripple. I always said maybe ripple is a centralised project but they have the potential to change the world. And now a days many banks and stuff accepting ripple. So yeah ripple is a very good coin. In one hand ethereum is a platform based token and ethereum is going through a trouble. Cause somehow the ICO market is down a little bit and there is lots of competition in this platform based token group. But I know they will solve it soon.

I also think that ICO investors are decreasing this days. Last year ICOs are very trending. Almost every ICO was reaching its softcap. Most of them achieved hardcap at that time. But after that many post ICO project failed. And the worst part is some of them just scammed people. So investors are kind of afraid. Many investors start to avoid ICOs these days instead of they are wait for the coin to listed on any exchange. But still many ICOs are doing good job and many investors looking for these project. The the bear market is also a problem. The ICOs market is not destroyed Fully. You just have to choose the right project.

The first thing is idea is it legit or not. The second thing is team. Which is very important for a ICO project. Most of the time you can see the people are same from a previous scam or don't have that much details about members. Which is not good. And the advisory board is equal important for a ICO project to be a good one. In most cases if advisory board is not good enough then you can keep it as a scam. The third thing is whitepaper it is very important. How they made the white paper. If you have experience in this ICO analysis work it will take minutes to catch a scam from whitepaper. But sometimes it's hard and they scammed. If you are new you have to do some serious research fellow r of analysis.

Bitcoin is the core of this whole crypto ecosystem. Anything happens with Bitcoin will effect this matket. So the alts are effected if Bitcoins goes up.or down. Some of the alts sometimes able to escape the situation but most of the time most of the alts effected by Bitcoins movement. So when market is going some be careful , alts also can go dowm. But if btc start pump then sometimes also other alts go down. The best place for btc to be stable. Only when btc is stable we can see a very good growth in altcoins. So yeah Bitcoin effect on every thing which is belong to the ecosystem.

This is very common now. For last 10 months we see this down trend and I think the bottom is already touched. And this is very normal for this market this up and downs. We all lost our portfolio in last few months. But don't panic if you believe in crypto. Just stay calm. This market is still new. And when it will mature it will explode. In last few days we see some really good new. Institutional investors now come to this space. When normal people who don't know about this crypto they start to come this market will boom. Just keep calm and hold everything you have.

Most of the people buy top 10 or 20 or even top 100 coins. Because it's less risky. And if you are new to this crypto space then also invest in some coin which is a nder 50 or 100. But there is many project which ranked over 100 but they have really good team or have a great idea or they doing their work very well. The main thing is you have to study about them and you have find. If you do your research properly you will find many project which is good but very few market cap. And this type of project also give very good profit sometimes. But if they fail your money is gone. So be careful.

I don't think that they are fighting for the second position but they all excluding Bitcoin fighting for being number 1. And I think it's hard to compare because the participants are not from same site. In one hand ethereum is a decentralised platform based token which is the most popular ICO platform. In other hand ripple is a technology will be used by bank a parent gateway or a protocol. But the problem with ripple is it's not decentralised and it's backed up by banks. So people think after a time ripple will be a no price change token. But as a investment both of them are very good. And always do se research on your own.
 Before investment.

Yes. Once but it's not my Fault. It's an local exchange. I think it's a hack but they explained later as a bug. Somehow my coins rapidly sold at low price. And I got some email. Then I check the exchange website and my trade history everything was gone. Then they announced it was a bug and they return everything what I have. And many people had that problem at that time. If you have token in exchange and you hacked you have nothing to do. But if you got token in wallets you have to be careful about it. Don't trust anyone. And always safe your privet key.  If you have to check check it from scanning site don't open wallet everytime. And if you have some extra money then use a ledger nano S

At this moment eth is better than EOS. Even ethereum is better than any platform based token. Ethereum and EOS both are platform based project but eth is most popular platform based project. In other hand EOS would be one of the best platform based token in near future. It has many upgraded features than ethereum. It collected a huge money in ico phase. But EOS is still in devlopment phase. But when it start it will be a great platform.

It's a very tricky question. Cause many of us who believe in crypto not believe in ripple cause ripple is not decentralized properly. So people don't trust ripple completely. But as a technology ripple is very good. Ans ripple is backed up by bank or it will in upcoming years. So it's properly Centralized if banks takes over it. But many banks are accepting the technology. So yeah as a profitatter people believe in it but as a crypto people don't believe in it properly.

I don't think that ethereum will end this soon. Cause it's very popular at this time. As a platform based tolen it is the most popular and most market-capped platform token now. Now a days there are lots of platform token but ethereum is the latform where almost 90% project come. And I know no many platform token belong which have better options than eth but most of them are in development mode. So I think it will take time to grow platform like eth. If some good alternative come (neo is in growing phase and EOS and Ada on devlopment phase) with strong potential then maybe ethereum could lost it's popularity with marketcap.

There is many information site about altcoins and icos. And Bitcointalk is one of them. Except Bitcointalk there are many. For altcoins pricechart or volume there is coinmarketcap or coingecko and many. For altcoin information how they works best is their own page ,whitepaper. And if you are not interested in it better you at least read there one pager almost every big project have onepager. And for icos there is many sites like icobench, icodrops, icoranking. But don't blindly believe any 3rd party website. Always research from more than one site.

Yeah, the number of ico is increasing day by day. And yes that's a problem for investors and also for other promising icos. Last year ico market was really good and many people were investing and get some good profit. But suddenly market crash and many icos scammed people. So investors are a little bit afraid of invest their money in icos. And one hand the number of icos increasing so yeah it's hard to choose icos these days. The money is divide between those icos. So we see a problem now that many promising icos can't reach the hardcap.

I know Ada has very strong potential in upcoming days. But I don't think selling all your eth is a good idea. Both are platform based token and at this time ethereum is most popular one. In other hand ada is still in developing mode for last 1.5 years or maybe 2 years. But they gonna make something really revelationay thing. But if they failed somehow. In this market if you put all your money in one place that is not a very good decision. Now choice is your. Whatever you do think about it first. Hope Ada will give you really good profit.

Yeah last year almost every ico reach their hardcap or at least half of it or softcap. But now most of icos don't reach softcap. I think investors are afraid of losing money. Cause last few months most of the icos don't give any profit when they hit the exchange even after 3-4 months they are belong to half price of icos. There is many problem one of them is the whole market is down so the icos are. Icos give a lots of bonus on presale or private sales that is one of the main problem. And people are afraid of scam project or failed project. But in this down market few good icos give profit even 3-4x. After invest follow and research on the project for some time.

I think it's a long term investment. See many people don't like ripple so do I. Cause it's not fully decentralized it's like centralized or semi-centralized. But the technology they are using is very powerful they can change everything. Many banks already testing their technology. 2-3 banks already using it . If they somehow able to accepted by big banks they will be one of the best profitable coin in that market. And that whole process take a long time. That's why I think it's a long term investment you also can midterm hold it if it's give you rofit that's your choice.

That depends on from which ground you take for the question. Cause Bitcoin is a payment gateway and yes it's the first ever blockchain basec crypto currency. Ethereum and ripple has another mechanics for the token. But if you compare in marketcap basic, it's a bit impossible for any-other crypto you are talking about to reach Bitcoin's marketcap. Cause the 2nd or 3rd position coin ethereum or ripple have less than 25% market cap of Bitcoin so it's hard to cross. Or even anything cross Bitcoin in future it will take a long time to do that

Yeah this is happening for last few months. Most of the icos can't reach their hardcap even most of them even reach softcap. In last Dec-Jan almost every icos is a success even some of them don't have a proper idea. But suddenly after market dumb investors don't like to invest in icos cause most of them didn't get profit when they hit market. And in these days number of ico is increased and most of them is failed of scammed. So general people also don't invest. But yes in this bear market some icos still dobtheir job and give some profit.
