Some people who bought Bitcoin for 1000 usd and sold for 18000 will not agree with you, I think. You just make a usual mistake and bought asset when it was at its peak or near it. Every asset could be the worst investment with that strategy.  

I think that it is one of the most promising crypto project, not the most. There are many other promising cryptocurrencies like Ripple, Stellar, IOTA and some others which are in some ways better than EOS.

The regulators will make KYC even more complicated than now, I guess. And that is because of bigger amount of money laundering cases that uses cryptocurrency schemes. So we should be patient.

This year we will not see the bull run - all major investors are selling their crypto-assets. But I believe that it could not drop much deeper than now. Ethereum at 50$ is the minimum I guess, and that is the price I will pay for it. 

Unfortunately the short periods of green market are just a little corrections. All the signals saying that there is a bearish trend for all cryptocurrencies. And I do not have a hope that in the next two years we will see the bullish trend.

There obviously will be the next crypto-boom in the next decade and crypto will not die. But the future market will be different from today's one. maybe 70 or even bigger percent of todays coins will die but the much bigger amount will be created instead.

That is a very bad time for crypto-holders. Everything is red and nobody knows where is the finish of that dropping. I think that today the majority of crypto-investors are the holders. They do not believe in the new projects, they just waiting the next boom for their assets.

I think that it is better to split your capital to three or four coins. It is less risky strategy that putting all in one bag. But be aware of shitcoins. Invest only in major cryptocurrencies (top 20 in coinmarketcap).

My best investment was at the beginning of the year when the prices just started dropping. I bought some coins just after ICO at Etherdelta and after three weeks when they was listed in the big centralized exchange just sold it with 300% profit.
Today this strategy is not working.

The best time to invest will be when the next crypto-boom will start. It could be in 2020 or later. Today is the worst time to invest - the prices are unpredictable and nobody could say where is the bottom.

Investors never like a high volatility in the market and they always sell their assets if the situation become dangerous. Even the majority of traders do not like high volatility and they live market in that situation.

There is a massive pr campaigns during the token sale but they all finish at the end of crowdsale. We do not see the crypto-boom now and we do not expect that tokens will growth if we do not see the hype around that tokens. So with the dropping of amount of advertising we see the dropping of demand and that's why prices always drop if there is not a boom.

It will not go far. There is a strong bearish trend and there is not any signal of the changing in that trend. But there is also a good news: at the graph of many cryptocurrencies we could se a strong support level, so prices will not drop under this month's minimum this year.

I think that there will be the next crypto-boom anyway. It is the assets that is very hard to be regularized. And from history of market booms and crashes we see that the assets available for everyone have the volatile cycles of booms and crashes.

I think that when people choose his profession they should look at three factors:
- they should like doing things which are required in this field;
- there should be a smaller than in average amount of candidates and bigger amount of job proposals in that profession;
- it should not be a short-term decision, the chosen profession should survive for at least next 100 years.
Second and third factors are good for Blockchain developer, but you should be sure about the first.

There is not any hope, man. We have totally bearish market which is not promising. I think that we could see another crypto-boom not earlier than in 2020, but there could be some outliers like Ripple in the recent months.

You will not be with empty pockets, of course if you do not have shitcoins in them. There is always some recovery after sharply dropping but the prices will not be at the previous levels (when you bought them) until 2020. After small recovery there will be another crash so the reasonable practice is to sell all your crypto-assets at the next week.

There is much more harder to gain a big money from ICO today. So the teams use different practices to get more fund during crowdsale period. Unfortunately prolonged terms of crowdsale is one of these practices. But more successful ICO brings more valuable coins for bounty hunters.
We should understand that we can not avoid that. Instead we should be prepare for that.

You are totally right about self-studying. There are many people today that think they could become rich without hard job, special skills and education. The scums would not existing if the majority of them would be smarter.

I have participated in a big amount of bounties and my best was the first Tokenstars bounty campaign (not one in which they sold team tokens). That was simple signature bounty campaign at the end of which I received tokens which I sold for 1200 $.
