To be honest, i really think that the mass ICOs emergence last year were really overhyped or overrated either, the amount of flowing capital is beyond what I expected that
it's make that event somehow worrisome for me who get used to a steady and slow paced market, this year is the year when the hype gone.

There's no relevant data that can be trusted which mention that most of the ICO are scam. It's just the scam ones that seems to dominate the market because it's always exposed.
However there's ofcourse nothing wrong to be selective when it comes to an ICO.

While this one have the chance of affecting the ETH market, I don't see the capital those scammers have acquired easily affect the whole market because they have quite small portion but it can't be underestimated
because the number of the coin they steal is growing day by day and need to eventually be stopped.

Even the real MEW will request you private key to access your address, it's always safe to get the MEW app installed on your PC otherwise use the mycrypto app so that you won't get bothered checking the link every single time and you will reduce the risk of being phished into a scammy website.

While I don't quite agree with the speed since it's clear that the centralized ones have the advantage in term of speed when it comes to a transaction settlement but in term of transparency, efficiency and safety the decentralized nature of blockchain will have advantage on its own. The safety is when no one have a real control over your money except yourself.

The coin will be pretty much the same as stablecoin, it's a cryptocurrency but not exactly a real cryptocurrency at that considering that there's a company backing it up which also means there's one entity have full control over the coin.

Although not as frequent as Ethereum, EOS did have a huge  impact because it's funded through using Ethereum and there's some point of time where the EOS team is trying hard to dump their ETH as much as they can while at the same time pumping their own coin, gratefully Ethereum still hold its position up to today.

Infact the stars or ratings itself exist just for marketing purpose, the developer or the owner of the website rarely give attention into potential project that won't pay them, instead they are trying the value of their ratings just solely for marketing purpose and realizing that most of that kind of website does the same thing, there's no need to put your trust into such sites.

This thing is to be expected, Japan has already doing so and then other countries will follow. Government are afraid that there might be money laundering within cryptocurrency ecosystem now quite the opposite it is the crypto users who are afraid of huge taxes, Identity required when cashing in or out is okay, but too huge taxes is just meh..

China is already digitalizing with a more centralized way like using alipay so I guess when it comes to adopting crypto they're not really into it
but somehow this news about china lifting bad is to be expected, they just can't hold the technology anymore especially if their country economic is strong enough to keep the flowing money to the crypto market in check.

Whitepaper under 30 pages doesn't necessarily mean the project will fail, sometimes the developers themselves trying to simplify their thought in the whitepaper and making as minimal as possible simply because there's their audience that know nothing about technical although some people may have advanced knowledge in this respective field.
It's the point of the whitepaper that matters the most.

EOS is more of a threat compared to NEO, by observing the market capitalisation growth of both coin, it's kinda obvious that EOS is one step ahead and we are yet to talk about the growth spurt that may happen to the EOS, meanwhile XRP is there to overtake the ETH position but is kinda different platform to be compared with.

KYC firstly required by a legit ICO to avoid money laundering, but it seems so many scammy project also requires or demand data from their users.
I'd always stay away from that kind of project though, there's many project out there no valid reason to stick with only one.

Every accumulated wealth that adds to your overall value will be taxed no matter what, such thing is what most of the government do.
Many people may see that as the most inconvenience thing especially if you live in a 3rd world country when you can't get the real benefit of being tax payer but well, that's life.

I don't think that this game will take a huge amount of resources in the network, crypto cats is an entirely different thing that the game itself requires a lot of on-chain transaction meanwhile this game well, let me guess, will only require that kind of resource-taking activity at the end of the game only.

Most of the game giving away crpyptocurrency to make the game popular, some kind of marketing I'd say and most of them as you stated not worth the time.
However I always consider the cryptocurrency reward only as a gimmick but not a really useless gimmick I mean, you know adding crypto as a bonus will add some of fun.

Must remind you that it's the "wallet" as a mean of "file" that managed by the user is what prone to hacking whereas the software rarely gets hacked if it is the community will eventually come up with the fix because most of the legit wallet in crypto community I know is open source, under the eyes of so many people to verify the validity, bugs, mistake, and many more.

From when scamming is considered funny LOL, scam is an act of criminality and can be punished according to law and that's a really bad thing.
Scammers is everywhere and I think there's no obvious way to estimate whether scammer has established bigger scale of scamming activities or not but people must really take care of their own security.

Any sane people with healthy logic would find out that it's nothing but a phishing attempt done by phisher but what worries me is that there's large amount of cryptocurrency user that know nothing about sort of thing and blatantly trusting anything they see on the internet.
If you can, it's always better to report such site to google or antivirus so that it could be blocked automatically.

If all those projects contribute to enlarge the overall market capitalization for the Ethereum it could make the market more stable by making the market less vulnerable to manipulation as well as maturing the market through enlarging the market capitalization, it's a common sense but usually there's other factor aswell that could affect the market that's purely based on demand-supply heavily.
