I Agree they are good bounty managers, and they always observe due diligence before accepting bounty projects to promote, and because of that, the risk was minimized that's why it's good for bounty participants. But on the other side of the topic, IMO, I think lower rank members can be also a good Bounty manager, if they are just doing some observations and researched before they accept any projects to promote, like what Hhampuz and Bubbalex is doing.

I believe it is, But we must admit it's very different from the 2017 bullish market trend. Because today's trend is about Bitcoin and other few top-ranking altcoins like ETH, XRP, and etc. While some other altcoins remain in just a very limited movement, despite they are one of the top rankings cryptocurrencies in the market thats why IMO, those cryptocurrencies that have not moved the price along with others have no demand simple as that.

I think the team should be transparent it is one of the important aspects, and they should be known to investors because if they are anonymous it was very hard to trust them. and because the identity of the developer is unknown they are just easily run with the funds (exit scam) without any problem, second is the uniqueness of the project third part is the liquidity because I believe if there's enough liquidity it is more attractive to investors.

I think this is normal because XRP is in the Top three base on the Market ranking while Bitcoin and Ethereum done it so why the XRP cant? As we all know XRP has a lot of users an also has a big community, in 2017 at this Bitcoin price level XRP was already at the $1 price level but we cant compare 2017 to 2020 because it has a huge different 2020 has achieved an organic growth because many institutional investors are pouring in some fresh capital while 2017 is purely a bubble.

IMO, I believe it is true many project developers have seen that the Bullish market is a good entry for their project. Because it may create positive traction to their token and that was the same happen in 2017 many projects are rushing to list their token in exchange because of that particular reason. But the results are many will gain some value and survive the "longest Bearish Market in 2018" while others didn't make it and eventually died in the process so take some precaution while investing with those "rush kind" of projects.

I think the main reason why some people are still in a hard time to understand Bitcoin because they still believe the old accusation about Bitcoin, that it has not back by something to inherent value, thats why until now many people are still avoiding Bitcoin as a form of investment because they are afraid that it will lose its value over time. things like that are very common in the crypto space.

I dont think that the altcoin season is the main factor why the ICO is popular in 2017. Because as far as I know, it was driven by hype, people invest in ICO because there's a lot of speculation about it thats why many investors are caught in the act, by scammers and worthless token, In terms of doing an IEO during this time I think there's no problem about that, but dont expect the same results like the ICO craze in 2017 because today's bullish market trend is very different compared to 2017-2018 Bullrun.

I think we have shared the common observation Mate, 2020 Bullish trend is not like 2017, that most of the Altcoin price is going crazy.
IMHO, today's Bullish trend is more on organic growth and not artificially induce unlike in 2017 bullish trend, thats why we can visibly notice that not all altcoins are gaining much price increased but only those cryptocurrencies that have a demand.

Mate it has no guarantee that those forks coins will be the same worth as the original coin, thats why dont use it as a reason to buy XRP because what if the XRP price will dump after the fork just like what happened in the BCH fork people are hurry to buy the coin BCH in order to receive the airdrop coins but before the forking event the BCH price fell down that ended losses to those who bought BCH at high price things like that is not impossible to happen so just make sure that you are aware of what you are doing.

IMO, the DeX is more secure compared to CeX but the problem is the trading volume because the decentralized exchange is not that attractive to many users because it's not users friendly, and low trading volume, These is the most common issue that DeX users were talking about. On the KYC issue, it's okay with me as long as it was legitimate because as law-abiding citizens we must follow our laws in our respective countries, you dont to be afraid about KYC as long as you didn't do illegal or against the law.

Mate thing is different now compared to the 2017-2018 Bullish period. Because the growing price of Bitcoin today is due to the institutional players/investors that pouring some capital into the market thats, why we can't, say that this price boom is just a bubble, Its the same as Ether actually Eth has already breached the $500 dollars price level today. I believe in December things might change in all top-ranking cryptocurrencies in the market If Bitcoin price continues to grow top altcoins will also grow next.

IHMO, I think you have a point, for now, that cryptocurrencies are not yet totally accepted as legitimate currencies by our respective governments because they only treat Bitcoin as a valuable Digital asset and not a currency, base on that reality the Central bank issued currency called fiat is the dominant currency to buy anything that we need. but I believe soon it will be changed because world commerce goes cashless and this time the CBDC's and cryptocurrencies will be more useful.

Well in the crypto industry everything is possible. By the way, Polkadot is just one of the many competitors that want to dethrone the King of smart-contract which is Ethereum, But as we all know in the crypto industry old platforms has a lot of supporters that's why it's also an important factor why Ethereum is the leading smart-contract service provider but who knows in the near future maybe a twist of events will determine if Ethereum will still remain as the leading smart-contract platform.

This is bad news, to the industry as well! I think every platform should consider checking its security features now so that these hacking incidents will stop or maybe the risk will minimize. IMO, because of these incidents, many investors are already doubting the safety of its funds and investment because every platform is considered a target by these hackers.  

How Ironic my friend, for me that was only an excuse, But today I believe things have changed, because many crypto investors are aware and already learned from the mistakes of the past.  because if we compared the market statistics today, at this Bitcoin price level those top-ranking cryptocurrencies should be skyrocketed by now but as we see it today it didn't happen so what's the reason? let's find out.

Well, thats good for you mate, that was an awesome profit just for free, Sadly my BCHA on Binance has not active yet not tradable, and even not movable? I dont know what's going on with Binance?
Because it's almost three days already after the fork but the BCHA is not active yet. It is better to activate the withdrawal function now if it is possible so that those BCHA holders have any chances to liquidate the BCHA and send them to other exchanges that currently traded the forked coin.  

Thats the right thing to do and it should be the case in all scammers thats why the blockchain project team/developers should undergo the KYC procedure especially if the project has any fundraising campaign like ICO the team should be known to the public unless the project is not doing any fundraising events because those people are already spending their own money, time and effort thats why it less likely becomes an exits scam. If possible dont invest with those unknown team/developers many of them in the Defi space dont fall with those shallow alibis beware of those fake/unknown project developers.

I agree with you mate it's highly possible that $20k will be reached within this month if this kind of trend will continue,
 
By the way, the $6Million sell wall was successfully broken thats why Bitcoin price now was traded at $17,100 it's another record high for nearly three years.
The next target is $18K so I hope that Bitcoin will not lose its steam to break another All-time high record.

Yes, thats correct Bitcoin price continues to gain momentum, and now conquering the $17K price level. But I was wondering why the Altcoins are not gaining much increase unlike before during 2017-2018 Bullrun when the BTC price was at this level most altcoins are already gaining massive price increase. I think your right Altcoins may be in trouble now thats why it's not gaining much price momentum but it's only my opinion I'm not sure about it.
