There are two coin you can trust blindly in crypto as they are king in their space i.e btc and eth . One is considered for payment , second of dapps , both of them are going nowhere. There price will continue to grow so go with eth as it is going to have pos implemented in next year , price will follow and eth have some big partnership with tech giant as well, so its safe bet for long term.

It will depend on person to person view, it can be taken as good as scam will decrease and general public can also buy crypto without worry as it become trusted in their mind i.e general public who have no knowledge of crypto often think it as ponzi scheme and they don't trust it all and after government involvement general public can also think of investing.
Second view is crypto will loose its nature , the main purpose of crypto was decentralization and full control of your funds.
It can be taken as opposite to its original principle.

I dont believe any coin will make you rich in 1 year, you should understand you need 2017 like fomo in order to get huge pump in any coin , many new trader or investor think that crypto is rich machine. It is not like that only some time fomo happens but you should always stick to btc as btc is is going nowhere and majority of market are directly or indirectly depend on btc only.

It was expected privacy coin is similar to dark web ,government ban them still people use them ,i think sooner later government will ban privacy coin as they want everything under their control as they want to gain profit from crypto as well but for now we have to worry about SEC or other government regulated body regulation that they are going to impose on crypto.
There is no denial to it that majority of wrong thing/trade/other stuff payment are done by crypto ,to be more accurate privacy coin so i think it will continue to grow as huge dark market depends on it so i think we should look forward to regulation rather than worry about privacy coin.

Now manipulation is low but few year back major exchange had big manipulation and some of them has higher volume than the actual trading. The worst manipulation was after tether was introduced , one of the big exchange (not saying the name ) was minting tether out of thin air and there were news related to it and investigation was done as well.

Pumps and Dumps group are generally loosing fund setup i would say, these group are controlled by traders or group of trader who wishes to gain profit by selling walls as you will buy them. Major number of account in these channel are bots and rest of them are new users who wants to earn quick profit and don't have knowledge of crypto market, so they become victims of them. Avoid using any of these groups to gain profit and try to learn trading skills by yourself.

There is no denial to it that binance has become king in crypto exchange and have solid team to back it up. As the exchange usage will grow bnb price will grow proportionally and it is currently safest crypto to invest so that you don't fall victim of current market manipulation but i would like to see more of bnb application rather than fee only.

Though i take ripple as more of centralized cryptocurrency but they are doing great job, they have good partnership and working with big banks and financial company. Sooner or later it will be treated as threat to current big payment system and its price will grow automatically.

monero is good as it has become a major crypto so it is more safe when you want more privacy and trust in crypto as there is manipulation in market. Other privacy crypto may not able to get user attention and they don't have big community around them to protect the price.

I would say kyc is necessary in some condition to avoid misuse of bounty like social media campaign as it has lot of bots account.So kyc should be specific to some campaign only not all and if no kyc in social media campaign then social account should be checked whether it is active on daily basis and legit.I think the most important thing is limited participant rule, bounty program should have limited participant which will highly decrease the chance of bots account as individual account can be checked by bounty manager. Crypto is popular because of its volatile nature and anonymity so it is obvious that kyc would be avoided.

it is normal trend to follow but this time people are more hyped in btc because of 100k$ prediction this year,i think it is not possible this year but in next 2-3 year it would be possible.Generally new investor or trader prefer full bitcoin rather than altcoin because they belief in fomo,which should not happen as they can loss a significant amount of fund during fomo scenario.

i would say it would better if you have some technical trading knowledge then you can test it out in exchange demo account then you can choose whatever you wish to hold or trade ,holding btc would be relatively risk free as other coin are directly dependent on its manipulation and for the current market scenario it is better to stay away for new traders and focus more on investing on potential token or altcoin.

IEO is not a new thing in past some exchange used to do it but it stopped and now binance has given a boost to IEO but i think it doesn't matter that much if the project is genuine and with unique idea and good team ,whether they will go through ICO route or through IEO it hardly change anything ,they will gain fund but if the project is based on hype then it only decrease ICO/IEO trust,ya binance being of the best exchange has give quite a boost to above two project.

there are so many thread that indicate the majority of ico are scam and those who are not out of them many are heavily manipulated as per whale desire,btt was great example of it and i think new investor should stay away from market for at least one month to see how any ico goes or read different thread about ico to get an early experience of not falling in trap just for quick profit.it is their responsibility to check everything about the ico before investing in it.

i think comparing gold and crypto or especially btc is not appropriate as i have seen many do it,gold is a mineral ,it is not just used as asset but in different field as well ,one of the major it is used in ornaments and south asia and rich people prefer to wear rich mineral which dignify their status,sorry to say btc doesn't play role other than payment breakthrough,in future we might see better payment technology but gold will be irreplaceable asset in general life.so it is not fit to compare both of them.

binance being the one of the best exchange gain a solid repo for them and they recently started ico fund raiser platform so it is quite obvious they will attract investor and but i think btt was quite hyped and heavily manipulated after ico got over ,they are promising to deliver good project but i am little caution to it.

I also think so ,from our school life we are more focused on English rather than learning Hindi,and in India for any Technical field we focused on English as primary language to deal with.but as many ico demand Hindi translation so many bounty Hunter do it but I don't see any point just like you mentioned ,they are just doing for the sake of bounty and no major discussion is seen in translated thread.

Blockchain concept is widely accepted by government of different countries but difficult thing is it is not easy to implement as it is new field with limited depth developer.ledger block concept can significantly enhanced data security but many government should take it in consideration and accept crypto as well bcz I don't  see blockchain progress not happening untill crypto is accepted widely.

Privacy and security is the most crucial thing in any exchanges then optimisation and trading benefits is plus.those exchange which give minimum regulations and restrictions and provide better service will be more often used.if you take the example of binance they have taken all the users requirements and competed with major exchange to become major exchange.
