I honestly never got hacked, Some people might have tried to try accessing my address whatsoever but they fail miserably, I usually put multiple layer protection to my wallet even I encrypt my private key if I have and then put it into a hardware without internet connection But I know how it felt being hacked, for the next time, you need to consider any possible additional security What I worried about this is when Internet of Things era started, people are still unaware about their own security, there's few company that offers the idea of implementing unbreakable, foolproof user authentication to protect users, employees, and company’s data from cyber attacks like what REMME offers, but so many people never get to know that such service existed. So, a basic education regarding the importance of security is a must for people nowadays.

I've read that coinrail will stores their assets in a cold storage after the hacking occured. I mean, what they are doing with their security before they got hacked? they just wanted to fix something that's not right only when it becomes a disastrous problem and people are losing money. This kind of exchange is what grind my gears the most, they just can't get thing right until something really bad happened, really hope that they learn from it so that they will improve their security everytime because no system is safe.

There's no such thing as expensive when it comes to bitcoin because it's have the flexibility to be divided into decimal amount, you may see that the price well, thousands dollars right now for a bitcoin but you also need to realize
that the divisible characteristic of bitcoin is what make it can be affordable for many people, even you can buy bitcoin no matter how much money you have.

Just like stock market, when the trends is down, everything will, it's like people are affected by one and another and then there's panic selling that got the market even worse. You see last month  majority of the stock in the market is facing its downfall
and cryptocurrency is no different than all those stock since both are often used as a speculation tool for gaining profit.
If you ask is it normal? I can say yes and if you ask is it Bad or Good? I can say Bad because there's a huge dip right now at the moment and guess that's a sign that the market is manipulated, a whale probably dumped all their coin at once and the buy order just can't keeping up with that.

ICO still not really well known, therefore we are still lacking the regulation for it, our government are not blatantly prohibiting it but also doesn't recommend it, it's like giving all the responsibilities to the investor themselves and when something goes wrong, we can't complain to them because we are basically putting our money outside their coverage. But,if there's so many ponzi scam that entitling themselves as an ICO, chance of being prohibited is there.

Well that's all what they can do if they want to avoid of being seized their project by the government there, however the overwhelming risk that's involved into putting my important document into stranger's hand is what make me really doubtful when it comes to KYC verification.
Just as you can see, handful of project turns out to be a scam and they demands KYC aswell, if they are already planning this all along since the beginning I can sure that they are not going to miss the opportunity of using the KYC data for wrong thing. We really need a platform that could verifiy our KYC at once and can be used into many ICO, and not handing over our data into everyone else, that's the problem I think.

Well technically, so many altcoins out there already solving bitcoin's problem which is scalability issue but however those solution that they seem to offer not really ever tested, so if we compare bitcoin to those, the altcoins will sure seems better than bitcoin since they have less problem. However, economic wise, they are not better than bitcoin when it comes to value and market capitalization. So, that's right as you said, it's all depends on which facts we are about to compare, both have the advantages and disadvantages just like everything when compared to another one.

At the moment, the dip is pretty huge, but maybe it's a good thing for those who are looking to buy altcoins, there are 2 altcoin that I kinda recommend though but based on their project which is Remme and EDO, you see both of them have really great potential.
While Remme improve authentication so that you will have a greater security level preventing unbreakable, foolproof user authentication to protect your users, employees, and company’s data from cyber attacks, EDO will also release the Hybrid exchange that's a really good thing and will probably be hyped a lot when it's released.

Monero is dumped and will be dumped furthermore beacuse it's threatened by japanese latest government regulatory that prohibit the use or transaction of anonymous cryptocurrency like Monero.
The coins that has bright future I think is NEO and ETH, honestly after seeing NEO's newest decentralized exchange, I'm really interested, no more KYC bullshit and centralized hot wallet, it's all provided for NEP-5 Token, however, ETH also is a good coin because so many ICO still uses it and the plan of changing from PoW to PoS, if talking about token, I'd say Remme, it's futureproof and its main purpose is to implements unbreakable, foolproof user authentication to protect your users, employees, and company’s data from cyber attacks., that's a really interesting concept when IoT realized.

First of all, I unfortunately quite agree that bitcoin is not suifficently efficient but however the technology is growing overtime and now there exist a lightning network, so scalability issue will be solved overtime, the Dutch bank can't foresee
that the blockchain technology will become revolutionary once it has achieved the point where everything is as efficient as it is required by the modern world, time will tell and Im sure that dutch bank is wrong

Mainstream cryptocurrencies generally always follow bitcoin's price as it looks somehow pegged to each other but tokens sometimes becoming independent to bitcoin due to small market capitalization.
Buying mainstream cryptocurrencies, I conclude is safe, however, try to study the currency furthermore so that you can know what is the right time to invest.

By the time being, a new technology that's far advanced than current blockchain system will be developed, that also means, an ICO will be no more relevant in the future, I can say that we're nowhere to that time and blockchain is still barely recognized by ordinary people who never really into technology but maybe that time when blockchain system will become obsolete is few decades ahead, as a natural law, everything that has beginning also has its end so OP's opinion is kinda true.

The media that talks about bitcoin 24/7 when bitcoin just reached its latest ATH which is $20,000 contribute a lot to the spreading of cryptocurrency knowledge thanks to that. However, so many third world countries out there still lacking of an education in regard to this technology, instead, so many criminal is trying to rob people off by entitling themselves as a cryptocurrency developer and any else resulting bad image to the whole crypto world, I just hope that people will eventually find a way to stop this madness, especially in third world countries where this kind of criminal activity is frequently happening.

Issueing a new crypto currency is easy, it doesn't need that much resource as if it's compared to paper money, it will just need bunch of programmer who know how to work with blockchain and create a cryptocurrency, even an individual could make their own cryptocurrency so there's no point of a country not having cryptocurrency when it becomes a trend across the world. Just my prediction is that cryptocurrency will be widely used as secondary national's currency for the effectiveness as a means of value transfer.

Not only that, even bitcoin also being called dead for hundreds of time and here we are, still watching bitcoin stands strong despite the market volatility that makes people overwhelmingly scared but atleast, the price of BTC is still up thousands percent compared
to back then when bitcoin is still not a thing and now people are worrying about altcoins, if you guys seem to worry so much, just remember that the cryptocurrency community is big enough to make cryptocurrency always alive.

The use of cryptocurrency for funding some project also a clear pattern that cryptocurrency is changing the world, if you dont believe, simply look at ETH, that coin making project fundraising become more accessible.
But not only that, the project that got fundraised also advancing the current technology and bring it to the next level, for example Remme that offer to implements unbreakable, foolproof user authentication to protect your users, employees, and company’s data from cyber attacks, Ubiatar, that offer an accessible solution to anyone who can't travel abroad by offering avatar's presence there and there's plenty more.

Only if the airdrop asking you for credentials data such as your ethereum address' private key, JSON, or else, other than that if they are asking for your email, they maybe got your wallet through luring you to fill in their phising website.
However, just always beware since airdrop generally created by random stranger who "obviously" always have intention, the token or coin that you may get from the airdrop always comes at price.

Popular altcoins's ICO tend to be over even before people could have the chance to even enter it, but there's also plenty ICOs out there that are quite promising but still open their ICO for public as for example, Remme, Ubiatar, and Multiversum.
Three of them have their own advantages while Remme enhancing security to embrace IoT, Ubiatar offer us to achieve human's dream to be everywhere by using Avatar presence, and multiversum offer 4th Generational blockchain. You should look into them and observe carefully maybe you will have some good impression about them.
Also, you need to look or find a project that's futureproof so that the chance of its value alwyas growing will be bigger, for example, Remme, its main feature is to improve security by offering foolproof,unbreakable user authentication which when the world fully getting digitalized, Remme will be the one which is very useful especially for authentication.

Altcoins that are using ERC20 or people usually call it a token will heavily tied to ETH's price and while ETH's price tied to bitcoin and always following its movement, therefore bitcoin affecting the price of the entire market as a whole.
Just to make you know, so many ERC20 tokens out there are heavily dependant on ETH price movement. Except, altcoins that's outside Ethereum's blockchain, those will more likely to only following BTC price movement.

Mine is Remme and Ubiatar, while Remme implements unbreakable, foolproof user authentication to protect your users, employees, and company’s data from cyber attacks. ubiatar gives us the ability to travel across the world without even being there.
Those two will sure be a big thing in the next trend, we are currently on a technology era where everything developing so fast so we need to invest our money and our time into something that is future proof.
