We see things as worthless if we think of their monetary value. But if we focus on their use, then that's a different story. Remember that ICO's do not give out rewards for the purpose of converting them into cash (which has actually become the main reason for bounty hunters now a days). It is the purpose for which they were created, a form of payment.

For those who are focused on the monetary side of these bounties, there was a time that ICO's blossomed so great that every bounty hunter had a smile on their face. Today is the opposite of those days simply because of market conditions. Flowers blossom but they eventually die. But more and more flowers will blossom and die just like those before them. It's a trend. We just need to know the right season when to pick the best flower. Just like bounty hunters or investors choose the right time to pick the best ICO and jump in during the best market condition.

Mass adoption or usage across the globe determines BTC's success. You are correct, Bitcoin can be worth a 100 bucks...or even just a dollar, if it is used massively in majority of nations, that would be a determining factor for success. In other words, it is not the price that would determine success, but the acceptance and the volume of circulation.

If you believe the market will recover at the end of 2018, then there's nothing to worry about right? This means there will be a recovery any time in the near future. That is how it works in this market. It's a seesaw ride or probably even a roller coaster ride to put it in better perspectives. Bottom line, a recovery will happen and everything will stabilize in due time.

I have no other expectation for December but a bull run! The momentum may have been delayed but the bulls will run! I just do not expect otherwise. Though they may not be as aggressive as in 2017, half of that for 2018 will be great as well!

Well, Bitcoin just bounced back 15%. Now I don't think this entails any end. We can also see a number of altcoins making some slight recovery which I expected to be gradual. It's nice to see some greens showing up. Probably a sign that the market has started to move forward. I pray this development continues on a longer stretch.

The market is on a break. It is going through a cycle of highs and lows which is a common scenario in any market. There is really nothing to worry about (generally) because there will always be a recovery after every fall. We should know this by now.

I don't see airdrop to be as effective as it was before. But I think it still serves its purpose. It does attract many investors and bounty hunters into a project. Anyways, we do love free stuff don't we?

Ethereum will definitely recover. It has been one of the top coins for so long anyways and we cannot take that away! But I am not sure about reclaiming the second spot. Ripple is doing very well despite of the bloodbath. It certainly has become a battle between the two. But personally, ranking doesn't matter much to me. It's the value.

Bitcoin or the crypto system as a whole was not meant to be a means of saving money. It is not a savings option because it is very risky and it defeats the very meaning of "to save." Bitcoin was meant to be a mode of payment or, as it is seen today, an investment. It does not function like a bank. So if you wanna save, open a bank account.

You should really check Bitcon's history. This is one of those times wherein Bitcoin went on a huge fall. But after every fall it came back with flying colors! From ATH, Bitcoin is now about 81% down. Bitcoin does this really as shown by its history. Recovery does not come immediately but gradually. Again, history will show this. Also many of the experts (Like Thomas Lee) are still very optimistic about Bitcoin despite of the market bloodbath! So I don't see any reason for negativities.

Ripple and Tron are my current top picks! These two currencies have been on the news lately with lots of positive inputs. Other good options are XEM, EOS, and IOTA.

That's what we call taking the risk. I don't think investors would ever know if a project is fraudulent or not in the first place. Coz if they did, why would they even invest into something they knew would be a loss?! This is simple logic and common sense.

Regulations are generally good so to keep things in order and in perspective. Also, these regulations are usually set to protect the citizens from fraudulent activities which is acceptable really. But I will not deny the fact that I do think that there are "other" activities going on behind these regulations (If you know what I mean...). Only time will tell.

I am eyeing to invest on Ripple and Tron. These two currencies have been quite controversial lately especially Ripple for taking the second spot outranking Ethereum.  Tron have also been noisy these past few days bring on the road to complete its roadmap. I've got a good feeling about these two top currencies and I will definitely invest in them!

How can panicking make you feel at ease?! Panic itself implies negativity and usually does not end well. We should not come up with any decision based on panic because it will certainly cause stress and we may not be able to think properly.

I would be more optimistic about this and be more on the positive side. I am expecting that whatever was needed to be fixed with ICO's this year be fixed by 2019. I do not want to invite any negativities for next year. So, in 2019, ICO's will be great and many hunters will be definitely happy!

Bitcoin always recovers as shown in the image. I don't know why many of us find it so hard to understand?! I guess impatience really hits most of us because most of us wants something good to happen right now! But that is not the case. It takes time. It always does. 2019 will be a better year for the market. How do I know? I don't! I'm just optimistic about it.

This is inevitable. The government is all over the place and it controls everything along with banks. These two entities are the most powerful and the influential of all! So all of our assumptions about conspiracies are quite validated.

All of us should know this by now. Almost everyday someone on this forum would post a similar subject on DYOR. This is very basic and shouldn't even be made as a reminder any longer. Common sense will tell us that this should be the very first thing to do in every endeavor.

Bankers are the smartest con around and the banking institution is the best con system ever used! Banks have been playing the monetary system for almost three centuries. They have now directed their radar towards the cryptosystem as they have seen and realized its potential to generate massive profit. These bankers are the whales (along with their government puppets) and we are just ridin' the waves!
