I am definitely worried and no matter how many words of wisdom you pour, my opinion is not gonna change.

Honestly, I do not believe that the market will recover in short-term and I consider every spike we have now as temporary. The chart trend is very bearish, and we need large trading volumes to break this bearish trend, which we don’t have them for now. If we see the trend that is been going on from the last few years, the market can rise by mid-November but that will still be a speculation.

The world could not go digital with credit cards, paypal, and other electronic payment means. What makes you believe that it can go completely digital with cryptos who are already seen as a negative thing by people.
It might take a complete century for the world to go digital, and I don't think I would stay alive to see that transition happen.

You should only do those campaigns which are done by good campaign managers. Avoid being part of those campaigns which looks little suspicious and where team fails KYC check. A lot of times I have seen that people use fake images of people to pass KYC, but that is eventually caught. So keep an eye out for it.

I no longer prefer to hold my coins to be honest. I was really keen to hold them initially when market was in good phase, but given the current phase of market, I do not think it is worth anymore to hold a coin for a longer duration, say 1-2 years. Better to get rid of them whenever you find the price to be right.

Google does not permit the usage of advertisements for ICOs, and they have good reasons for that. In past, a lot of people have been scammed by these scam advertisements which used to show up on google's adwords network. So, facebook and google decided to withdraw the ICO advertisements from their platforms.

There have been some really really successful ICOs in the past. If you go through the stats available on google, you would find out that there have been returns up to 100000% with coins lik ETH, Dash etc.
It just depends how well you research the coin before blindly putting your money in that coin. So, I highly recommend that you go through all possible sources of information before investing money.

It was eventually going to end. But still, if you use your knowledge, you can enroll in good campaigns and those campaigns wouldn't really fail you.
Try joining campaigns done by good managers like Yahoo, btcltcdigger etc. These managers would ensure that you get paid.

It is not in our hands but definitely in the hand of one of the whales out there.
Exchanges like Mt Gox have already dumped bitcoins worth millions, and it is possible that it had a big effect on all of us.
So, can't just say that it is in our hands.

That is something every new ICO has a problem deciding. Some people prefer going the bitcointalk route, while some people have their own private sales.
Also, on bitcointalk, the manager running the bounty also matters. If someone reputed manager takes over, the ICO does better.

Trading would be preferred any single day man. Half of the time, the bounties do not even pay you, while trading would pay you always, unless you lose money because of investing in the wrong coin and market going crazily red.

Change is a part of life. If something is going up today, it is going to fall down the next day. Cant take the upward trend for granted and keep expecting that market will keep going up.
Eventually, everything will turn red.

Definitely scared. Market has been continuously falling down with no signs of recovery. Even good coins like ethereum are unable to make any kind of recovery. What to do in such a market instead of feeling sad and dejected.
But I'm not giving up hope. I'm hoping by end of quarter we will see some positive news.

That would only happen if bitcoin eventually dies. As you can see that ethereum is already losing so much value and trust, so if eth falls, alts will definitely tag along and begin falling. It is a sad state of affairs to see ethereum fall down like that.

They are pretty much the same looking websites with very similar interface, but if I had to choose one between these two, it would be fork delta. The reason? It has some of the coins that I trade in. For example a coin named Nami. Than coin is only listed on forkdelta.
So it all comes down to an individual's preference.

I carry a similar opinion too. But by giving tokens to bounty hunters, the ICO company people cover their losses.
What if people don't invest in that specific ico? That results in people not getting enough money and losing more from their pocket.
Hence, they stick to this bounty model where they pay in tokens.

Your advice should be to invest, not to be patient.
Everyone knows that whenever market is in a downfall, you're supposed to invest heavily do that you can make money when market eventually gets green. Most of us follow this strategy. But I don't know why lately I have been getting negative vibes from the market. Maybe because things are crashing way too much and for way too long.

As far as I know, the companies have started migrating towards other blockchain networks like eos etc.
Even tron is migrating from eth network. I think this is the reason why price of eth has taken such a huge drop, else it would have been fine till now.

Instead of asking this question here, why don't you jump over to icobench and see for yourself which one is performing and which one isn't.
You get a lot of data from there. So individually look up the top. Rated ICOs, go to their websites, and figure out how much they all haee been able to raise.
