As far as I know, there not so many people interested in crypto in my country. I know around 20 people that are involved in crypto. Few of them in mining and the other as investors. Those that are mining are developers and probably because of that are in the crypto. The other one are ex online players who made money through Internet, so for them this is not something new, but basically, there are very few people that are currently interested and involved in crypto for the moment in my country.

I look mainly few aspects:
1. The idea - is it real and achievable?
2. The team - do they have enough experience or no?
3. The whitepaper from the beginning till the end. It is given to be read. So read it!
4. The roadmap - when will the product be released ? If it is more than year, for me this is problem.
5. The product - is it the product interesting and will it be useful once it is done?

These are the main thing that I check in given ICO before I decide to invest/participate in bounty campaign.

At the current moment or even in the upcoming year or two, for me there is no way Ethereum to replace Bitcoin.
For now, Bitcoin is not only the main coin in the Crypto World. Bitcoin is the trade mark of the Crypto World. If Ethereum became bigger than bitcoin in the next 1-2 years I am not sure if this will be ok for the whole Crypto World as marketing, because a lot of people won't get in the crypto, because they simply do not know about ethereum, but everyone knows Bitcoin.
The marketing aspect of the situation before the whole World is very important guys, because if the crypto stays at this levels it won't develop. Crypto must grow and the only way is by making more people to have faith in it and for the moment, for good or bad, people know more for Bitcoin as coin than Blockchain as technology...that's the truth...

This market cap at the moment is more than 3 times bigger than the market cap before one year.
The bull run from the end of last year and the begining of this year was connected with wall street.
The situation in the moment is almost stable around $ 450 B which should represent the real situation regarding the market.
Yes, there are a lot of people on the sidelines waiting for new bull run, which I think will happen in the late april/may.
You could check coin market cup movement for the market cap of the market for the past years and see the trend. The fall in february was predictable, if you were comparing the data from the last years. Also, the bad news that came up in februrary...everything was driving in that way.
For me, the market cap will gain new possitions and probably by the end of the year will reach again $ 800 B or even more...

Guys, I cannot understand why some of you underestimate so much IOTa. IOTA is a great project with great idea. Yes, they are little slow (probably this is their main weak spot), but if they bring this project till the end, this could be the game changer in the crypto world.
Also, I cannot see any real rival to IOTA at this point...

Why you won't join crypto is probably better question. Once I understand everything (at least the bigger picture) of the crypto, blockchain technologies etc. there was no other way for me, but to join crypto and to start reading articles and watching youtube videos for crypto.
This technology is not only for gaining money, these should be the future of world.
In fact, I have very big hopes for IOTa project, that this will be the next generation...

At this market at the moment, I think there is no perfect currency.
What I am trying to do is to diversify between a few currency. Some in the big ones and some in growing alt coins in which I see potencial.
Also, for stable profit, probably it will be better to have 30 - 50 % in bitcoin. Yes, it is the largest, yes bitcoin is an old news, but the truth is, that still, bitcoin is the coin that moves almost every other coin up/down, so the best way to gain stable profit is bitcoin. 

I read about that. PayPal may only benefit if they do something like that.
1. The blockchain technologies are very good, as we all know that
2. Still, there are not so many banks/companies that are ok with crypto/fiat and I think that PayPal will be bold enough to do something like that and they will earn a lot.

Everything after the China new year when up. Also, there are rumors that there won’t be any regulations in China, but exactly the opposite – the China government wants to explore the block chain technology. Sooo…I think the spring is going to be very good for the Crypto world 

Choosing ICO, no matter for what, invest or bounty campaign for me is always through the same process. Research, research and again research. Also, I read the whitepaper and any possible information regarding the project. Also, the twitter info, regarding the project and try to find anything else in the net, regarding the project. Also, check the bounty manager. If the bounty manager is someone with a lot of ICOs and he has prove himself and the icos that he represent, than, the project should be ok....

Probably you will never be 100 % sure if given bounty campaign is legit and you can trust on it or not. The truth is, that you should do your own research. If you invest in given alt coin, before you invest, you read and check everything for the ico. In the bounty campaigns is the same. In fact, you indeed invest in a bounty campaign. You invest time.
Also, it is very important who is the bounty manager. There are some bounty managers, that are very popular and their campaigns and the ICO that promote are ok.

Yeah ! I read about that. For me, this is not such a big deal, because with taxes it makes the crypto more and more legit. In my country the banks are trying whatever they can to forbid crypto and cancel transfers and it is very difficult, especially for withdraw. I think that if there were regulated taxes for crypto, the banks would have no choise but to accept crypto...

Man, I strongly suggest you, to do your own research. As for the ICOs that you could check...in the forum, almost everyone has a signature with promoting different ICO. They are active and ready to invest in them. Also, they should be legit, because a lot of the people in the forum do research before starting to promoting given ICO.
But...again...strongly recommend to do your own research!

I am not fan of airdrops in general, but KYC for airdrops is very unreal for me.
Regarding the KYC, I am completely against this. For me, it is dangerous to sent to someone that you do not know, never heard of him and he wants your id. I really hope to see civic project in action for the KYC verification. The whole idea of civic is exactly for this and I think that the ICOs should start exploring the opportunity, once civic starts operating in the whole world, not only in USA.

The ICOs are going to stand for sure. The question that stands is in what kind they will be and are they going to be ICOs (initial coin offering) or something else for the future. The truth is, that there are a lot of pools of investors already, who invests in ICOs for good % and because of that, ICOs will continue as long as there are good ideas and projects.

I have seen ICOs to accept fiat. But this is probably for bigger investments.
Also, transfer in crypto is way too cheaper than transfer in fiat. Also, there is a loooot of paper work if the payments are in fiat. And there is a legal obligation between the two parties if the transfer is in fiat. Probably the last one is the main reason why most of the ICOs do not accept fiat.

The price of the altcoins is decreasing because the price of the bitcoin decreases.
Currently, bitcoin is starting to getting recover again and now is a good time to invest in altcoin, because their price is lower than what should be in 1-2 weeks (not big difference, but there will be).
Again, the questions stands for what to invest 

For my KYC is something that guarantee (at least a little), that the ICO is legit and that everything is going to be ok with it and there will be no scams. The problem for me is that you are sending them information regarding you, but ... you cannot be completely sure in them. I would love to see CIVIC project in action for KYC identification. I think this will be a game changer and every ICO will start to ask KYC.

Yeah, it is possible that crypto go to zero, but for now, the most probable scenario is that there will be 12 zeros, after "1" of the coin market cap. What I mean is that at the current situation the crypto market will probably go to 1 trillion rather than to go to 0. The prices are jumping once again and from a lot of places I read that the common believe is that the btc will make another race to 20 k...

I always look how the tokens will be used on the platform once it is life. And mostly I look if the tokens are needed to operate once the platform is life, because if the tokens are used only for payment on the platform and if you could replace the payment method from tokens to fiat, game over for the investors that hodl tokens. If this is easy to be done, I would probably pass the project.
