ForkDelta seems to work faster for me , in addition EtherDelta was compromised several times and lost a part of it's users , so I think FD is better in comparsion with ED right now . But personally, I prefer IDEX that have a variety of tokens too , but offer a more user-friendly and informative interface .

Investors can use https://icorating.com or other rating services to understand a potential of ICO they are interested , but it will give only approximate information and we have to make a more detailed investigation by ourselves . Put your look at projects team , their blockchain developing and promoting experience . Look for projects with a big community , if a big crowd of people support project , this means that it is some hype around it and more likely you will be able to sell your coins with profit after ICO ends .

Comparing with a stock market , crypto is more volatile but it is in a stable up-trend , which means that you will keep your profits , unless you'l sell dips . You can invest in btc now and then look for a few good alts , which can multiple your profit in the future .

I believe the market will grow after CONSENSUS and EHT rising can be a good sign for it . I think it is a time to invest in crypto for those who are still in fiat , because market is showing positive signals and can make a +20-30% in just a few days very soon .

I think 2025 is rather pessimistic forecast . I believe that many online stores will accept cryptocurrencies in till the next year and it will take only 1-2 years , to make it popular in techno advanced "offline" shops . But I don't think crypto will be accepted everywhere in 2025 , or even 2035 year . Some countries can be to conservative , or even primitive and will not legalize crypto ,whatever you do .

What altcoins are you talking about ? Most of ICO's are scam , all they whant is to fool you and take your money . They can't bring anything new and useful to crypto , or real world , while bitcoin is a father of cryptocurrencies and already change the world with a blockchain technology . So , I think any altcoin can't be better than bitcoin by definition .

Ethereum is popular and stable cryptocurrency , but I can't suggest anyone to do all-in in one coin . It is a very risky investment and you'd better to deversify your portfolio with bitcoin and some altcoins . Anyway , ethereum price is pretty low now and it is a good time to buy some eth .

Well , for bountyhive is interesting platform , but the most part of their projects still not tradable on any echanges . I understand that crypto market is full of scam , but when you combine and gather them all in a one single place ... But it must be noted that bountyhive is young platform and I believe their popularity and quality of promoted projects will increase in the future .

wow , this is a good question . It's really hard to predict how crypto will evolve and will look in 5-10 years. I hope it will become very popular in all over the world , governments will use open blockchains for their operation reporting , people will be able to pay with btc in any online stores and other crypto start-ups will start to change our life .

If you are a crypto believer and enthusiast and interested in long-term investment - crypto wallet is what you need . Using your own wallet you can be sure that you will not lose you coins if exchange will decide to temporary delist it . (such things happens from time to time) . Also , it will protect you from exchange's scam-exit . You will be the only person who control your tokens . But if you are a short-term investor , there is no need for you to store funds on a personal wallet . Storing your funds on exchanges gives you mobility and thus , increase your chances for a profit .

I think the best decision is to invest in both , or even add a few good alts to your portfolio . If I was on your place , I'd buy good altcoins for ~20% of budget , 50% spend in bitcoin and 30% to ethereum . You can sell altcoins after their pump and make stronger your bitcoin or ethereum deposit . This will make your funds work better and give you additional profit .

I think you have to do both . Combining ICO and trading will make you a crypto specialist and you will feel safely on crypto market , because if you will lose some funds by investing in a bad project , you will be able to compensate it with a trading and vice versa .

It sounds weird for me . Russia banned telegram few days ago , today I have read that Russia also banned more then 16 millions of Amazon and Google IP adresses and now we are talking here about crypto legalization in july , are you serious ?

It's good to have as much partnerships as you can get , but if verge will be associated only with porn industry it will be a big problem . All porn related coins is not exactly popular and attractive for investors . Also a porn is not legal in many countries and it will tarnish crypto industry and make it less popular in those places .

You can wait for ideal situation forever . I think this is a wasting of your time and invest now is a right desicion . If you have some experience , you will buy a good coin and make profit with it . But be be aware and do not play with loan money , invest only your own funds , which are accepteble to lose for you . Sometimes , we need to wait until the price of our token will go up , but if you are in debt it's really hard to wait for a uncertain period of time for a price pump and thus , you will be more likely to lose money .

If you are not satisfied with amount of earned tokens you can participate in bounties which are paid in btc . They are happen from time to time and offer a reward in a most stable cryptocurrency - btc . I can sure you that it's not an easy task to find reaaly good signature bounty for everyone on this forum . In most cases we are just gambling , because sometimes project you particapating have very good bounty budget and measurable amount of participants , but turning into scam in the end of campaign . Or you can join a good campaign but it will be filled up with enormous amount of high ranked participants and you will receive very few tokens for your work .

You can't be sure ICO is scam or not , until you'l get your tokens and project begins to fulfil their promises and follow the roadmap . The same situation with bounties - you can't be sure until you'l get your tokens . But even if you receive some coins , it doesn't mean they are honest with you . You have to check budget allocation and compare your earnings with total stakes amount and partcipants number . This is the way how managers can easily fool bounty hunters , by manipulating with total budget and stakes system .

I believe in next 1-2 years crypto will become much more popular and many different banks in all over the world will be able to exchange cryptocurrencies . It's not a problem at all ,as soon they will see a users interest to exchange crypto in banks in decent amount (it must be profitable for bank to open a new crypto exchange department), they will start to provide exchange services . Banks will not waste any opportunity to earn a good money .
