OP, that cartoon sums up my feeling about most people in the ICO space.  Not all, certainly--there are some incredible geniuses, but I suspect that the average gambler from a poor country just wants to get rich and doesn't understand solutions where blockchains are appropriate, and where they're not.  I'm by no means an expert myself, but I'm also not buying into these crazy projects.

All of this reminds me of the late 1990s.  Everyone was sure the internet was going to be the death knell for brick-and-mortar businesses, and internet stocks soared even if the businesses had no viable business plan.  It was a crazy time then, and it's looking to be almost as crazy now.

Cryptocurrency for 2018 is not really good. The market price for bitcoin and other crypto in the market are free falling and does not play a major market price increase since the highest peak market price for bitcoin hit on last december 2017. Thus, I am looking for some reason on this why this happen to cryptocurrency market and the real situation for cryptocurrency.



Basing on the graph it seems that market price for bitcoin stabilizes and eventually fall. The investors were withdrawing their investments on bitcoin for a certain reason and that is the cryptocurrency regulations. The blog from advisor.lk which has been posted by their staff writer stated that the current state of the cryptocurrency is not so good for the current owners as the currencies free falling since January 2018. , The blog stating the multiple reason for this and thus reasons for the decreasing trend and the major factor considered to be the government regulations on the cryptocurrencies, due to the various regulations imposed by the Chinese, Japanese and Korean and other governments resulted in major steep fall of cryptocurrencies.

The blog were talking about also with the two reasons for the government regulations, one is cryptocurrencies lack intrinsic value and governments view private currencies as a threat to their sovereignty.

Probably we could not expect bull run for crypto in the year 2018. We should not hope and expect for it to happen.

I composed the story that Walmart should create their own cryptocurrency just to ... catch your eyes  

In fact, they do not need. Yes. You are right. They do not need it. They can take directly Bitcoin as the bonus for their customers.

But you can think of this further than just Walmart and the bonus given to customers. Walmart do not need that kind of bonus. People will also not be attracted to Walmart just because they give Bitcoin. It is better they give them cash or discount points. So Bitcoin is not the point. A new coin, which needs to be introduced, is the point.

Imagine Walmart is our cryptocurrency community. Among us, cryptocurrencies are accepted. But out of this community, people still do not know anything about cryptocurrencies. They also doubt of them. They think of Bitcoin, Ripple, Ethereum, and cryptocurrencies in general as "virtual money", Ponzi schemes, scams ...

Unless you give the cryptocurrencies to their hand, you will never persuade them quickly enough to make them learn and accept cryptocurrencies. But how to give them a cryptocurrency ? They do not have an wallet for you to send. And if they do have wallets, they are not the targeted people for us to introduce cryptocurrencies.

Giftdrop paper wallet can solve this problem first. Besides, giftdrop paper wallets have many other applications. The story of Walmart above is just an example case in suppose.

Paper wallets are the physical form of cryptocurrencies. Let's think of utilization of this mediums.
