In my opinion, the main reason for the decrease in the cost of Ethereum is the global crypto Dump and the increased number of scams in the ICO market. I hope that Ethereum will restore its rating and value immediately after the turn of the crypto-currency market (Pump) and the subsequent increase in the activity of ICO projects. Of course, it can not be ruled out that the implementation of the draft protocol of POS mining may also play its role in restoring the reputation of Ethereum. But I do not even say that Ethereum will end, it's impossible in principle!

For me, the main advantage of Ethereum was and still is its main task - the opportunity to participate in the ICO projects and trading of tokens located on the Ethereum blockchain. But because of the global crypto-Dump and the increased number of fraudsters in the ICO market, the crypto community has almost completely lost interest in ICO projects. Therefore, the Ethereum rating also fell. I hope that the turn of the crypto currency market will return the activity of ICO projects, all coins, including Ethereum, will return to their previous positions and restore their rating. This is the most likely scenario.

If we trace the ten-year history of the crypto-currency industry, then the most durable projects can be considered: Bitcoin, Litecoin, Digibyte, Peercoin. I'm just sure that these projects will remain despite of everything and that's why I'm not afraid to invest in them. The project Steemit exists and successfully develops more than 2 years - for the means enclosed in it I am also calm. But there is an ICO group of projects with the maximum risk for investment - for me these are projects that exist for less than one year. Only in the last year I witnessed the collapse of more than 30 ICO projects, in whose bounty campaigns I participated.

Many modern innovative projects took several decades to become a real business that brings profit to its investors. The oldest crypto currency we all know is Bitcoin is only ten years old, and most crypto-currency Startups are in their infancy. The crypto-currency industry only at the very beginning of its development. I am amused by new Russian crypto-investors who want to get rich in a few months and wonder why this did not happen! Gentlemen, to become rich you need to have the knowledge and patience that you do not have!!!

All of you will feel better if you agree that the current situation in the crypto-currency market is a direct result of the machinations of large holders of crypto currency, such as the Winklevoss brothers and the like. Then, you will understand that the global crypto-Dump is not a crash and not a crypto-currency fiasco, it is only part of a complex game. I watch the events from the side, hoping to join this game, when I will start to arrange its rules and I think that intuition will not fail me.

In comparison with other projects that offer their own smart contracts for ICO, Ethereum still remains above all others. The main problem of reducing the popularity and cost of Ethereum remains the foggy future of the ICO itself. I think that all the developers and Vitaliy Buterin, including, will only please if Ethereum will hide from the general attention and the project team will have more time for further improvements to Ethereum. Buterin himself often stated it publicly. And when there will be good news about the resumption of the work of ICO projects, Ethereum will return to life without help from outside!

I do not see any solid reason for such a global decline in the cost of Ethereum. On the contrary, this coin has always been stable, even in comparison with Bitcoin. It seems to me that the changes in the cost of Ethereum are related to the activities of manipulators, perhaps to increase the importance of EOS or to increase the amount of Ethereum in its portfolio by purchasing it at a cheap price. A few months will pass and we will all learn the reasons for such changes in the crypto-currency market. But one thing I know for sure - Ethereum will not disappear like many other crypto-currencies in the ten-year history of the crypto industry.

ICO projects have a future only if the international laws regulating the activity of the ICO market are tightened. Only if scammers are sure that they can not escape deserved punishment, in whatever country they are, they will leave the crypto industry. Another positive impact on the preservation and development of the ICO project market, the introduction of the possibility of insurance of ICO participants against scammers. If the investment in ICO is insured, then the risk of these investments will be minimal!

Who could have guessed that in the last 9 months the price of top coins would fall 5 times? It is also impossible to predict what will happen to the crypto-currency market in the future, since these changes are a direct result of the manipulation of large holders. I am sure that ordinary users will not sell their crypto-currency reserves for pennies. And the general trend in the crypto industry has not changed, most projects continue their work in a planned manner. Therefore, long-term investments should ultimately bring a positive result.

I am very disappointed that most of my compatriots from the countries of Eastern Europe conduct ICO as a fraudulent scheme for receiving money and do not aspire to new technologies. On some rating resources (ICO Drops) there is an unspoken rule prohibiting the placement of ICO projects from Eastern Europe, 99% of which are scum. Most likely this is due to the fact that there is no legislative base on the territory of these countries, which punishes the use of fraudulent schemes with the help of ICO projects. In the US and Western Europe, legislation allows the prosecution of fraudsters by the ICO - so they simply do not exist.

I categorically disagree with the author of the topic. Look at the deplorable situation in the crypto industry during the last 9 months - one loss. Crypto currency will not allow an unemployed person to pay for housing and buy food, earn in the short term. Crypto currency is only an addition to the main job and a good option for long-term investment, calculated for several years, and it is desirable to have an initial capital for investment. On some airdrops and Bounty campaigns, you can not make a lot of money!

The crypto-currency industry is perhaps the most dynamically developing structure, attracting a lot of scammers for easy profit. I have been dealing with crypto currency for more than a year and after every new mistake I think that I will not commit it more, but I am mistaken again and again. Probably, scammers learn new ways of cheating on a par with how we learn to bypass their old traps. It seems to me that it is impossible to prevent mistakes in crypto currency, here every new day - new rules and yesterday's rules do not work anymore.

Now the crypto-currency market has reached a critical point where it is no longer worth selling any coins - it's the same as simply giving them away. Therefore, to become a holder of your crypto-currency portfolio for an indefinite period - before the price reversal - is the only correct way for any sane person. It is possible that not all crypto-currency projects will survive during the current Dump, but those that remain will completely compensate you for losses!

Я вообще не особо доверяю платформам, где подсчет по Баунти кампаниям ведется автоматизированно. Один из главных минусов - это очень низкий рейтинг Баунти кампаний, выходящих на этих платформах. Возможно из-за того, что большинство участников на этих платформах - боты и владельцы мультиаккаунтов. Я попробовал участвовать на bounty0x.io в нескольких Баунти кампаниях, но получил крайне негативный опыт. Невозможно понять, сколько я фактически заработал токенов и когда их получу. Вывод: лучше платформы для проведения Баунти кампаний, чем этот форум еще не придумали и навряд ли придумают.

I have been engaged in Bounty campaigns for more than 6 months. To search for the most promising projects I use this forum and believe that there is no better basis for the Bounty. Automated maintenance projects for Bounty campaigns, like BountyHive or AmaZix, have a very low rating and are ignored by most ICO projects. Also, a good list of bounty campaigns is available on the ICO Drops website, you should not ignore it.
