Not sure about that and it seems like ether was building its own way and tried to leave from the bitcoin domination. that's indeed if ethereum can't be 100% independent from the domination of bitcoin but at least that will stand alone.

They are not even registered before creating STO, basically STO just another rebrand and no more differences with ICOs. What will be the differences of STO with ICO if the team not yet registered or verify its identity to the government? Some icos have registered its company to the government and it has been getting no action letter and that means if ico can operate legally in such country just like canada. Basically those idiots team must understand about how the regulation work. Government has issued a lot of legal framework and if you do that you will be fine. If you are re-branding your ico and you don't care about the legal framework and that is the same whatever you have called it as STO or ICO.

The point is when you are aiming to get the stable value without any volatility that acts like the fiat money and then the stable coin is the answer to that problem. When someone interesting to trade with stable money and they will have stable profit too.

Deeponion died and it will never hit ATH again, Deeponion just another shitty coin that offers a lot of bullshit promise through all of deeponion shills and ten you must know what will have done by them. A lot of people realized deeponion just another scam.

A lot of companies will be putting their focus in the crypto this year, maybe ETF gets another delay due to the manipulation in the exchange sites but bakkt has proven itself because it has raised a lot of money and 2019 should be the recovery year for crypto.

ETF will get another delay and i don't wanna bet on it. BAKKT should be the main bet for everyone and it has done with more than 132 million dollars have already raised from investors. So far halving will become the main thing to bet next year is the bitcoin halving time.

Those stupid people must learn from their experience to sell their coins when the price has been driving by the whales to the bottom. That's a dumb person who has put himself to the panic sell and give the wales a lot of coins with cheap price. Sell the coin when the market gets bearish is the stupid thing that i have ever seen.

That's right, consider from its ATH and that makes sense for those top 3 coins to rebound its price easily dude. there will be a little recovery for the next month and this will happen without any news. we are waiting for the speculators to change the trend.

There will be less ethereum produced by each block and that could affect the price of ethereum too. Some people are saying there will be a serenity coin as to be a hardfork coin caused by the serenity update in ethereum hardfork but i don't know if that was only a rumour or true story.

That's what really grinds my gear right now a lot of people making speculation off their pure opinion without underlying data and that's as the same as people who throwing bullshit at everything they see.
 if they know nothing better to research more than talking like they know everything.

Just do what you think is right, there's nothing wrong on ditcing few altcoins that you dont have faith to begin with and that will only burden your mind.
Most of people are always overthinking such a thing while they could be happier by doing what they want to do.

While that sounds good, paying in BTC is more likely can't be done, most of ICO are gathering the funds through ETH or other smart contract platform, maybe in some cases it is possible
but just think about it, the less their token get involved into some kind of activity the more chance it will become useless.

Blaming ETH because it's really easy to deploy token with their smart contract platform is just ridiculous because that's what they are aiming first and if you are saying that only prove that they have been succesfully makng it happen.
Just use common sense, everything that is open source will always have that kind of characteristic and not only limited to cryptocurrency.

There's other method to access the wallet too and some of them may really requires password but using privkey or json will not require anything, imagine if MEW saves all the password it'll be dangerous because that means the system is centralized and vuln against hacking.

Cryptocurrency in term of earning profit works the same way as thsoe stocks that you can buy freely some logically you wont risking your money into something like cryptocurrecny becaue I believe that there's other reason for people to choose crypto and one of them is the decentralized nature.

Trying airdrop for few cents out of filling the free time is totally alright as long it doesnt require that important thing called our private data.
However, it seems you really judge the value of a project based on its initial release whereas most of airdropped project need something called "progress"

Sometimes some project just get away with such thing tho, but legit project I'll trust that they are really paying and have the intention to.
Unlike those scammy project even if there's millions of complain they would just keep their mouth silent because that's their intention from the very beginning.

That will not make altcoin popular, the most affecting thing to make crypto popular is by marketing or advertising it, just for the example the hype bitcoin got back then is because the publicity by the mainstream media, if crypto could repeat the same thing it will work, otherwise it will ended up in misery.

Right on the spot, imagine having to verify people with crappy web cam in their laptop that'd be another disaster, people may say they can verify through phone but it'll make everything even more complicated. We need better technology before implementing this kind of thing to public.

I'm not agree with you, the speculators were converting their money to the fiat and they will create another movement again in the future. But i agree with your second point. Only the serious project will get a lot of attention from the investors.
