To be very honest, at some point in the bears season, I've lost interest in cryptos especially after losing so much money. I lost interest to the point I abandoned my bounties and skipped working for about two days. I just had to pick up myself and forge ahead, with hopes of things getting better and the market bouncing back soon enough and my losses will be recouped.

USDT is the most popular stable coin in the space and hence the reason it is widely used in the space. There are other's like TUSD, PAX, and USDC, etc, but USDT is the most popular as it is actually backed by the $$

I'm not quite sure we're out of the woods yet. There was a little move in BTC to the $4700 region and then it dropped again to the current of $4639. While being optimistic, we should know that there's no sign of any positive price movements especially as the fundamentals don't point in that direction

The XRP whales are just trying to prove a point. That's what this whole holding by Ripple looks to me. At some point, it began to look like a classic pump and dump when it dumped to 8980 satoshis and then it recovered.

This is one very important piece of information that every crypto enthusiast needs to imbibe. That the price of a coin is at it's lowest doesn't mean it's a good bargain, it may as well go from there way lower and eventually become worthless.

He tells would rather lose little daily which is almost insignificant to him than lose all should the exchange get hacked

You screamed bull run at the top your voice like the market is currently experiencing one that started overnight. The market doesn't respond to sentiments and emotions, it does have a mind of its own. The crave for a bull run by many is that borne out of sheer optimism and a repeat of 2017 which is not even certain. So, here's hoping for the best

2018 came with a different manual and the market has been bearish for over 9 months. The truth of the matter is that only projects/coins with use case will survive this season. We've been seeing that a few coins that have hit their par value, they're neither going up or down and this is largely stemmed from the fact that  theirs no demand for them and their devs have abandoned the project.
The market will endure for as long as possible and maybe when things like the ETF get approved, the market will bounce back and the bulls will return. For now, you have to be patient and accumulate the good coins if you can afford to buy more
