Very positive and encouraging thoughts.
 In fact, now many watch the World Cup, many went on vacation to the sea.
You really need to just relax from this market. A lot of positive news and no growth, no movement. It is very strange. I have no plans for ICOs & trading this month.

Oh, easy, guy.
I think that there are no whales on this forum. But if they are, then they can be counted on the fingers of two hands. Assuming that someone from them peeks into this thread and reads your message, he will not answer.
It's just like my boss. He doesn't discuss his decisions, he doesn't listen to anyone. I understand your emotions. But I'm afraid it does not make sense.

It's silly to regret something in the past. You can not change anything, you can not cancel past decisions.
For me, it is exciting to remember that bullish growth. It was just incredible to watch, really. Many looked fascinated at prices and simply could not believe it. Some have invested all their money. Some sold everything (alts). Others didn't do anything but just waited for it to end.

Yes, yesterday I also faced the problem of expensive transactions.
I think these low prices for Ether forced the miners to surrender. I think they have long been on the edge of profit and cost. Soon this update will be made and I think many move their production capacities into other currencies.
I don't think that this is due to the increase in demand.

According to some rumors, from proven sources, Facebook is going to buy Coinbase.
I think it is connected with this lifting of prohibitions. I read about this in early June.
In any case, I don't like when someone changes their minds, it's just not professional.

Come on. We are blah, blah heard many times from various officials and banks. In my opinion, they are simply afraid. That's honest. Do you think they are concerned about the welfare of ordinary people? They are only concerned about money in the banking sector. It's no secret that the money from banks flows swiftly into the cryptocurrency sphere. This is the only reason for their concern.
 And drugs and terrorism are ridiculous. Long before the appearance of bitcoin and altcoins, criminals had money in sufficient quantities.

Now almost everyone is in a position like you. My main investment is in three major projects. But even they fell by 40%. And smaller investments generally lie on the ground and don't raise their heads.
Dude, just relax. Watch the World Cup, spend time with your family or take a vacation. I do it by the way. I don't want to see the price of Zilliqa and everything else. Well, you know.

Now is a very strange time. A very unstable market. The price of tokens after entering the exchange falls not because of the bounty, but because of the bear market. Good projects are just in the ass.
In July, I don't even have a plan for ICO. I don't know where I would like to invest money & don't like this trend. Although before I very actively invested. Now I just take a pause.

Just sell the coins and go on. I don't keep in my wallet those coins whose teams show aggression and hand out the ban to investors. In my opinion, the investor has the right to ask everything he wants, of course in a polite manner and without insults. And many projects' managers spend a lot of time to clarify the situation, etc. Teams that are afraid of criticism are the bad choice of investments. Criticism is the stimulation of growth. Just finish it and move on.

Lately, I've been spending less time predicting. The calm is quite long and the "Spring Blossoming" did not happen. I don't even want to comment on the current situation, I just try not to think about it. I know that in the long run, everything will be fine.
Well, I am pleased with some of my successful investments in Zilliqa and Wanchain. These are examples of growth even in a low market.

I don't think that the high income will last more than three years. Everything goes to the fact that governments of different countries and centralized exchanges want to stabilize prices & remove small investors from the path.
 In this case, there will be no big profit and we can drop to 20% of annual profit.
I think it is now the golden age in order to earn a million, well, or at least tenth of a million.

I have always considered Thailand as the best place to relax during the vacation. There cheap prices and awesome nature.
It seems that after this news one more advantage was added. For me, this is very useful news. Now I can probably easily pay bills there using cryptocurrency.
Wow. I will follow the news.

The government is not interested in doing things that do not bring profit but only a headache. Look, they don't want to fight corruption, organized crime, don't want to change the outdated laws and tighten the punishment for criminal crimes. But if it comes to money and profits, then they are happy to get down to business. They vote for passing laws on cryptocurrency, impose fines and taxes. It's just disgusting to look at it. They don't agree that poor people can become richer thanks to the crypto industry and no longer work for a penny on the welfare of the government.

These are rhetorical questions. Everybody would like to have answers, but there are only a lot of questions and opinions and absolutely no answers. I would also like some sort of certainty, clear predictions. But alas.

You have done a fairly detailed description.
But I would add a note about Etherdelta.
- Several times this exchange has been attacked by hackers. Some people lost money.
- the exchange owners changed.
- there were some problems with the withdrawal of money.
In my opinion, newcomers should understand that there were many problems with this exchange and it is necessary to be more careful.

I will not deny that I read articles in Medium. But recently I began to notice that the content on this platform simply disappears. I had links to some articles about analytical reviews of the market as a whole. After a week I could not reread this content it just disappeared. This is a bad call, it's a violation of freedom of speech in my opinion. Many people say that content in Medium just disappears and accounts are blocked. Those two articles that disappeared were not advertisements. These were the thoughts of two different authors about the situation in the market.

Here you need to consider investors and traders separately. That you wrote can be applied to investors. Again, with the reservation that the project is not stupid and not a sham.
If we talk about traders, they sell and earn at any indications of the course, and at the bear market and bull market. Sometimes I really envy the traders.

Bitcoin is the only one. And the number of altcoins are very large. Therefore, to conduct a parallel between the thousands of altcoins and 1 bitcoin is absolute stupidity.
You can draw an indirect parallel between the courses of some coins. But only in digital format and only. Everyone wants their tokens to grow 1000 times, but it's more like a roulette.

I think that everybody including me before investing money is looking for any information that can be found. However, very little ICO survives in the long term, so many people invest in ICO for a short time.
But ratings are more important for understanding a long-term perspective. In my opinion, no ratings can predict the course on the market, especially in a short period of time.

I don't even know who managed to take part in the project (Quarkchain). It was a long journey with many trials. I looked at it with surprise. The team came up with more and more new stages, obstacles, conditions. Probably it was the longest preparation for ICO. And of course, the private sale is to blame for this. They privately sold almost all the tokens at once. Well, we will try to buy these tokens on the exchange until the price grows above the clouds.
