Due to the fact that the owners of big exchanges have a huge impact on the dynamics of prices, the confusion in the cryptocurrency market is increasing and no one knows what to expect in the near future. I think, until the strict control over the exchanges begins, the bear market will continue.

Over the past couple of months, the price of Ethereum in relation to bitcoin has undeservedly decreased. This was due to the movement of capital in anticipation of the decision about Bitcoin ETF. But starting in October, the price of Ethereum will begin to grow both in dollar terms and in relation to bitcoin, therefore converting bitcoin to Ethereum is a great idea.

Now more and more experts are expressing an opinion about the inevitability  of the price recovery. I think in mid-October the team of Ethereum will decide about the exact date of the hard fork and because of this news the price of ETH will rise by 50-60%. So you need to buy right now while the price is still low.

Owners of exchanges need to complete this year with a good profit to show investors and partners their outstanding financial results. Therefore, Changpeng Zhao is interested in the growth of the market and will contribute to it.

As long as people keep their coins on exchanges, the owners of exchanges have huge resources to manipulate prices for cryptocurrency. Therefore, it is better to withdraw the coins and keep it at the wallet.

I am also surprised by people who are in a hurry to sell their coins. On this forum constantly write about expediency long-term holding, but most newbies make the same mistake. Probably, to hold coins for a long time, you need to understand the prospects of crypto and truly believe in the inevitable growth of the market.

You're absolutely right. No one wants to invest in cryptocurrency during a protracted fall and this makes the situation even worse. It seems that only very big investors are able to correct the situation and change the negative trend to positive.

2018 has disappointed everyone who wants to get rich quickly. In addition, this year has become a real test for investors in cryptocurrency, which not all have passed. Therefore, we should not expect to make a profit in a short time, but when buying coins, it is better to prepare for a long time holding.

The greater the amount is in daily circulation, the more profit you can earn with it. But you need to understand that success in trading depends on experience. Therefore, $100 is enough to start, but over time, as you increase the experience in trading, you need to constantly increase the amount to the maximum possible.

The price Ethereum below 500$ this abnormally. I am sure that the price of Ethereum could be reduced only by spreading false negative information, on the basis of which many investors in a panic began to sell ETH. I am sure that soon the situation will normalize and the price of Ethereum will again reach 500$.

What is happening in the market? Mt. Gox Trustee has sold bitcoin (https://www.coindesk.com/mt-gox-has-sold-170-million-in-btc-and-bch-since-march/), but the price fell most on ETH and XRP. Manipulators, which have big exchanges, pumped capital from different coins to BTC. What to expect from them in the future? This is a very unhealthy situation that requires investigation and strict control over exchanges.

I plan to buy "Populous" in the near future, because this is a strong project and the price of its tokens has significantly decreased. When the market starts to recover, almost all altcoins will begin to rise in price, but still the greatest growth should be expected from those coins that fell more than others.

Ethereum has the largest number of developers, and very real prospects for development in the near future. Moreover, users have already got used to this platform, while most of the Ethereum competitors do not yet have a working product or are just beginning to develop their network. Therefore, I am sure that in the next 2-3 years Ethereum will remain the most demanded and popular blockchain platform.

Many investors now have a similar problem. But while the market does not recover to its maximum levels, it is not desirable to sell altcoins. It is quite obvious that it is better to wait another 4-5 months and sell tokens with a profit than to hurry and sell right now with a loss.

When investing in ICO, you need to take into account as many factors as possible, because only in this way you can form the most objective opinion. Besides, nobody prevents us to engage in a discussion with the experts who assign grades at ICO Rating sites to clarify the reasons for placing a high or low rating.

In this market, very rich players and owners of big exchanges are crucial, and depending on their goals, they manage the course of the cryptocurrency. Therefore, Ethereum can easily overtake bitcoin if manipulators will want it. And maybe it will happen in 2019, despite the fact that now it seems unreal.

The use of blockchain technology continues to evolve and bitcoin is the first cryptocoin that served as a model for other developers. Altcoins represent projects that adapt the blockchain to the needs of people and thereby contribute to the spread of crypto. Therefore, altcoins are very important and we need them.

During the collapse of the entire market, for new projects it is becoming increasingly difficult to attract funding for their developments and the ICO sphere is now going through difficult times. But despite the difficulties, investing in ICO remains attractive, because it allows each of us to choose a favorite project without intermediaries and buy tokens at the starting price.

I completely agree with you. Recently, Ethereum has been declining in price too much and now it has a much greater potential for further growth. All the more soon will be produced hard fork and it will push the price ETH high up. I think, by the end of the year the price of ETH will reach 1000$.

During the crisis, people buy only basic necessities and the volume of investment decreases in all areas. Therefore, I am sure that the global crisis will have negative consequences for the cryptocurrency market. But in general, the development and spread of crypto will not be stopped and thanks to the growth of practical application the cryptocurrencies will continue to be in demand.

ICO will never be declared officially dead and you don't need to worry about temporary difficulties in this area. I think the rules of the ICO will transformed over time and the control over the project organizers will increase and this in turn will become the basis for the new growth of this sphere and the arrival of companies from real business.
