It may be because  AliBaba’s chairman Jack Ma’s statement where he advises traders against Bitcoin saying that “the digital coin is a bubble will burst.” Thus, it gives a bad influence for the market.

I think at best, Bitcoin is currently a store of value and at worst a speculative asset. It is barely used as medium of exchange, as it is as of yet not widely accepted as a means of payment. Most transactions are of a speculative nature. Moreover, Bitcoin’s value is currently way too volatile to function as money, as it is not a reliable store of value.

I only participate in one bounty,  that is signature campaign. The bounty payment now isn't as much as the previous ones. Most bounties give a little reward for the participants, and that makes me feeling not enthusiastic to join more.

Bitcoin is extremely popular, and therefore, it is the first cryptocurrency that people have bought and WILL buy. It is the original cryptocurrencies, the grandfather! The best thing is we can trade FIAT money directly for BTC, and that is not the case for most cryptocurrencies, except for ETH, Ripple, BCH and some others. If we want to buy other coins, then first we have to buy BTC, and it is not changing any time soon.

That's a good news. It's getting easier that we can give donations in bitcoin or altcoins, so we can't go across the border,  just a few minutes of transactions.

I guess the regulation is not clear is another risk. Bitcoin purchases and sales in India are undertaken under the premise that they are allowed because they aren’t explicitly disallowed.

Bitcoin and Altcoin's price changes are all related. Bitcoin is the oldest cryptocurrency. When its price starts to change, other currency will change as it changes.

I guess blockchain has a huge potential to grow bigger in the future. Blockchain, is an immutable and transparent database of records. This immutability and transparency ensures that there is no need for any third person to look after the database.

Yes, I do agree. Most ICOs use ethereum platform in their project. It obviously shows that ethereum has more strengths than others. Many ICOs use ethereum since it makes much less time-consuming with significantly lower development costs using a ERC20 token standar.

Probably. Ethereum has lot of scope for growth due to strong leadership whereas Bitcoin may grow potentially but it's future is uncertain as long as someone owns it.

Most altcoins may won't survive, only a few that could survive. If bitcoin is constantly falling, it could endanger the existence of many altcoins since I believe that bitcoin price affects the altcoins'.

I think ICO will become increasingly difficult. It will be more strict to compete. Hopefully, with the emerging of more good ICOs, it could influence bitcoin and other coins' price to go higher.

I assume the market's controlled  and manipulated  indirectly by crypto millionaires and billionaires. They arevconstantly pumping and dumping. That is the name of the game. Some of these people are also involved in the mining process which is a huge business in itself.

I guess it's not possible. Bitcoin is the very first cryptocurrency in the world and the very first blockchain system. Since 2009, the dev team promoted the coin and became the only known digital currency for quite some time. Thus, BTC built a powerful network of traders, miners, developers, and promoters while working on its infrastructure. Many businesses accept the coin as a mean of payment, further enhancing its popularity.

I would prefer to own more Ethereum than Ripple, simply because of the fact that Ethereum is making an effort to appeal to a broader audience and demographic instead of just the enterprise space, and a segment of it. Sure we could argue that Ripple will be doing massive amounts of transactions (in terms of size) but Ether will almost certainly do more in volume.

Im holding mine. It's not a good idea to sell the tokens now when the market isn't stable. Maybe I'm holding mine until next year or next two years since I believe that my tokens could get a high price.

Ethereum is a better cryptocurrency I guess to invest in right now. Ethereum has good technological features, so it will never come to an end. Millions of people today trust and invest in Ethereum. No matter what investment strategy you choose, you’ll definitely make some profits at the end.

I guess they immediately sell their rewards because they are afraid that the price is going to get down, or the worst thing is the tokens could lose its value. It will take long time for the price to get high after they're got dumped.

If bounty hunters are going to the end, bitcoin may lose its popularity. Bitcoin won’t be interesting anymore. However I think bounty campaigns will still be existed although the payment is getting less.

Exchanges are being regulated, our money doesn't belong to us. We can lose them easily. Besides hxchanges have a long history of being hacked and losing customer funds. You may want to use hardware wallet, which is much more secure and convenient at the same time.
