Until the prices of the coins can remain somewhat stable, it is hard to see any bullrun coming. Other than incredible news possibly being able to start a bull run.

I think that the price will stay within 100-200 USD range. I can't see the market crashing down to 50 USD. Even though ICOs are unpopular as of right now, I think that certain regulations may be brought on them leading to their popularity coming back.

I think that it is all relative to how much experience each individual has had along with the amount of research that they have put it in to the project that they are either investing/completing a task for. There is also many layers to the idea of understanding. Do you mean general understanding of the project, or the technology behind it? Whether it has a future? Whether the project is a scam? You'd need to be more specific.

I think there is some truth to what you are saying in that trading in this bear market can lead to profit, but that can only be the case if one is well-versed in the knowledge of how to trade and has the time to conduct many trades. For the average working person, it's much more difficult to first learn all these skills and apply them risking one's own capital. It is much easier for them to research and find a project that they like and hold coin/token in that project. Obviously much more to gain from trading, but also much more to lose. It is much safer to simply hold their investments.

I think that now would be a safe time to purchase ETH for fiat considering how low the current price is. On the other side of the issue, however is the fact that it may be a better strategy to wait for a clear sign of a bull run and to buy in when that starts to occur. If you think that the ETH platform/project is going in the right direction then I don't see any reason not to take some stake now. If you are extremely vigilant though waiting out the conclusion of the dip may be a better idea. All depends on how you view yourself as a trader and on the entirety of the market and ETH platform.

Thank you for posting these links and fighting the good fight, but seemingly endless, against ICO scams. The sad truth is that without solid regulations these fake ICOs that simply look to bait potential investors in order to run away with their money more and more. Some organized system needs to be developed in order to weed out many of these blatantly fake and scammy ICOs. Individual investors need to be more cautious then ever when thinking about investing in a new project. Hopefully as the market and technology grows, regulations will be passed to safeguard investors against these types of scams.

Hopefully this project develops and delivers on it's promise. I think even though your statement is very broad and non-specific, any currency can change the world if the idea is developed properly. I think this project has potential but results will prove whether or not it really does.

You have to prepared to HODL when the market is bottoming out in order to see the rebound of the market later. That is the meaning of HODLing, through the times when you incur heavy loss to the time it comes back. REMEMBER: you haven't lost any coins/tokens when the market is down only the FIAT value seems bad, when you wait out the dip you'll be paid back when the bull run hits. Don't make the mistake of falling prey to FOMO on the small profits.

100 USD is definitely enough to start trading if you aren't unrealistic in your goals. For example, expecting to make lots of money from 100 USD worth of any currency simply will not happen in the short term. You will need to be patient and disciplined in order to find out if you really can make gains in the market. As you start to make small % gains you can pour more money and go from there. It is usually tough when starting out, so you cannot lose hope and determination. I hope you find trading success!

When the market is down like this you can invest into the coin/project you think will succeed in the future for a cheaper price. In the long-term you should make good money when the market is up during a bull run. However, in the short run trading smaller coins may be the best option considering that no one truly knows, besides professional analysts, exactly when the market will bottom out/ start trending upwards.

I think that a bull run is imminent, only because I think the market is close to bottoming out. However I lay no claim to knowing exactly what time it will occur. Obviously most of us hope that the bull run will happen Q4 even though it may take until Q1-Q4 of 2019 for a solid rebound. Easiest thing for many of us hodlers is to be patient and wait for the inevitable uptick and not be phased by lows.

Aside from ETH being the largest altcoin to BTC, the vast amount of projects and tokens launched on the ETH platform leads to it being very popular and talked about. It would be surprising if the price wouldn't at least rise naturally simply bouncing back from the regression that almost all coins/tokens showed. I can't see ETH simply dying out without some major development or a major lack of proper development of the platform over the next few years.

I expect it depends on whether the bounty hunter is looking for immediate cash out, after the token/coin appears on exchanges, or if they see some value in the project and want to hold the token/coin for future use cases. Technically you might be able to classify them as investors considering that they own some small miniscule part of the platform/abilty to use said platform by helping them. Truly though you could then call anyone who received those tokens airdropped as investors which really doesn't mean much in terms of a traditional "investor" that puts forth their own currency believing that the platform will succeed.

Earning that much money without any initial investment isn't as easy as it may seem the way certain media/articles make it out to be. It will take genuine work/time to get stakes/coins in certain project especially ones with value. There are many methods, some more effective than other, that one can try in order to accumulate tokens/coins without any initial investment. Finding the write campaign and tasks for one's self is key to making currency. 1000 is a goal that won't happen over night.

I would say that the market is very close to bottoming out which means that a bull run may be rearing its head soon. My best advice would be to remain vigilant and buy whenever you feel comfortable/ when a clear bull run is in process. I am not a trader who knows too much extensively by any means but the above is simply my 2 cents on the topic. Hope that you buy early enough to make some good gains

Although it may seem like more and more ICOs are coming out as cash-grabs with no real product, there are plenty of great ICOs and genuine teams and project that are working on developing something spectacular. At the end of the day, the onus falls on the investor to properly research every project/ICO that they wish to take part in before they go investing in it. With a little bit of research it isn't difficult to make a safe judgement about if the ICO/project is real or not- the success of the project being a different story.

If you aren't looking to gain a particular coin/token mainly then airdrops/bounties can net you a low to sizable amount of altcoins with a wide range value. Obviously this a very unstable source in order to gain altcoins, but it a "free" source nonetheless. Trading tokens already in your possession for altcoins is clearly the easiest way to earn them/ seeing the value change over time. Of course with the aforementioned method you aren't necessarily risk free like you are doing airdrops/bounties. With the current bearish market prices are very reasonable if one wanted to invest fiat.

I am, by no means, intending to make a career out of day-trading or expect to make boatloads of money off of daytrading as I only plan to invest around 500 to 700 dollars initially into this potential "hobby". However, along with some modest HODLs in bigger currencies, I think it'd be fun to experiment with day-trading spending only a few hours to research/trade coins. Especially in the bearish market today, the opportunity to trade smaller coins and engage with the community through a new facet seems like a good idea. With the amount I am willing to invest I truly wonder whether my time might be better spent engaging in physical activity or extra work hours. I am in for the long-haul with my main investments and don't plan on messing with them too much but am not totally opposed to trading some of it in order to bolster my investment into day-trading. To begin I've thought about simply trading ETH tokens for simplicity in storing them on one address on MEW and transferring to exchanges. I welcome any and all advice anyone else may have even if some of it has been repeated by the few articles and threads I've read. If anyone has any particularly good resources/guides that they found extremely helpful as they started out daytrading I would be extremely grateful if you posted them. 

I think that both the ETH coin and the EOS token will survive together over a long period of time as both projects grow in development. More exposure will also lead to both of these projects gaining traction and contributing success to the overall market of cryptocurrency and the technology behind. It doesn't make sense to assume that 1 will definitely survive over another given the current standing of the dev team and progress made.
