Everything will depend on the state of the market as a whole. If the market will grow, not only icos, but also trading, mining, bounty will be profitable again. In my opinion, according to probability theory, 2019 should be a good year for cryptocurrencies, since 2018 was one of the worst.

Nowadays began to appear bounty campaigns that offer rewards in ethereum. I am glad that this is so, because ethereum is more stable than any new ico token.

I do not regret anything, as it was my own decision. Yes, I lost a lot of money, but I got invaluable experience that will help me in the future. After all, the cryptocurrency is only at the beginning of its road and a real boom is yet to come.

Reaching such a price by the end of the year is almost impossible, as now the price is about 4200. Growth is always slower than the price drop, so it is too short a period of time. Market sentiment is also pessimistic.

Самым главным следующим шагом должно было быть принятие биткойн ETF. Но глава SEC заявил, что отсутствие защиты инвесторов делает маловероятным, что его агентство одобрит ETF в ближайшее время 

In order for the market to become green again, it is necessary that new people come. But this requires some global news, the crypto should really work, for example, a large site would accept cryptocurrency for payment. But there are no significant changes yet.

Today there was a rebound and it was predictable. But do not flatter yourself, because now there are pessimistic moods in the market, so the growth can not be strong.

In my opinion, almost all top blockchains are more promising than bitcoin. It is outdated, it has a lot of technical problems, and new altcoins can avoid these errors.

Конкретно сейчас инвестируют прошаренные люди, а хомяки подключатся потом, когда рынок снова разопрет. Но на то они и хомяки, чтобы продавать на минимумах, а покупать на максимумах.

Для меня важны многие факторы, я перечислю основные. Во-первых, это соцсети, в первую очередь телеграм - должно быть не 300 подписчиков, рассматриваю хотя бы от 1000 мемберов. Затем сайт, что равно сам проект, если там всё четко и по полочкам, то и проект такой же. В-третьих, команда - это половина успеха, это должны быть достойные доверия специалисты.

У меня складывается впечатление, что исключительно из жажды наживы, судя по количеству скамных проектов, особенно в последнее время, разработчики которых исчезают сразу после окончания ико.

Bitcoin ETF .. do we really need it? - it depends on ETF. As for CBOE, it is a physical bitcoin ETF, it stays true to the bitcoin you own in underlying. So I'm for it.

The idea proposed by the author is very good, but hardly feasible as it is not necessary to moderators of the site. Here everything happens by itself, and everyone is trying to get only their own benefit, unfortunately.

It is possible that the bull rally in December still will be, because the situation in the market, which we are seeing now, can not last forever. I believe that today it will be the last down candle.

Лично у меня проблемы с прохождением КИС на GBX - не принимают счет об оплате коммунальных услуг как подтверждение резиденции, уже всю голову сломал, что им не так...

This year is very unpredictable, because many experts predicted further growth, but this did not happen. Moreover, the last hope for the end of the year also turns into a collapse. Crypto is totally unpredictable.

The most important advantage altcoins have is that their teams can learn from the mistakes that the pioneers made. The first to be always more difficult.

As for me, best exchanges for traders are Okex and Binance, they are the safest. Binance is also supported by tradingview, it is really convinient.

I don't think it's that easy to buy a cup of coffee right now by crypto. What do they do when a transaction fails? return to fiat again, i suppose)

While bounty campaigns are alive, bounty hunters will be. Traditional advertising does not have the same effect as Signature or Twitter, it is hidden advertising.
