Am surprised to see this thread started a year ago, then I considered the space ambitious but now the exchange look like a threat to the space especially other exchanges and altcoins. I expect a reaction from other crypto force against acquisition except the CZ is not the owner of the exchange as some people rumored. He could be a name behind all this projects, and some funded by strong and wealthy hands around the world.

Have read several ways to stay safe with ones portfolio and I consider all to be vulnerable to loss. Dont use a single way and wallet to protect you portfolio, engage the portability of this coin. Take different risk that is consider not safe but keep this information only to the trusted fellow. Divide the portfolio into at least 2 (offline and online included). Sadly a lot of bitcoin are without reach in this space because of misplaced keys.

we are now digressing from the subject of the thread to our own frustration of the dump in bounty reward. This rewards are also investment for some people and dole out huge to own the token and they watch it without value. They never got any profit at any time since the purchase and I wish we could also look at it from most investors point. The market is not at the selling time and teams are not planning to do anything to pump the price until bitcoin gets close to its previous ATH

I still dont think the distribution was not random, there is possibility they give to that address because you have a certain named token in the wallet. I think having an interesting token in your custody should demand joining the respective community,get update on the token and ask any relevant question like this. Liquidity is not an attractive feature for most token with the state price volatility in the space, and is the reason for the token lock. More also, project team are not active with the economics of their project token.

As long as a stable coin maintain its value and can produce the crypto to fiat whenever necessary, it will always be useful and relevant. Tether had always been the with high volume in crypto use, more than 2x of its volume daily. This has been attractive to all exchanges, organizations and some governments but none had surpass Tether in use.

Everyone cares especially the long term holders; its a market of speculation and some uncertainties. If everyone takes profit at a time either in short term or long term means everyone is expectant. Profit in fiat is more reliable with certainty. The more the bullrun we have the more the dispersion of bitcoin holder and the higher the price.

Printing money is not profitable to US if the leaders use the money as expected, this is not a country with record of corruption like in some third world. There will always be a way the Government will pay back. I hope it wont result in recession, the economist did the necessaries. Even if USA planned to make profit from the virus they are already in financial loss and had lost more citizens to death.

The first bullrun had 100x, second bullrun was 33x and the next bullrun is predicted to be less than 15x. Is there any reason for the fall in the margin of pump at bullrun. I also feel altcoins made more profit in the last run than bitcoin but it could be the first know bullrun with a large number of altcoin, so it makes it difficult to make altcoin prediction in the next bullrun but I feel altcoin will always bring the profit that will attract more fund into the space for the next run

I don't desire any support from the government for cryptocurrency, they cant give what will replace fiat in their country but can show enough negligence to allow the use of cryptocurrency and allow the fiat to cryptocurrency trade. Development will always come from every country financial system that allow adoption and building project around cryptocurrency. However, Blockchain keeps enjoying the adoption in all sectors of the governent

Corbid 19 at this stage and the negligence by the government indicates that the period of lock down for most countries will be extended for more weeks into June or July. A lot of resources are going into this pandemic though not personal but the repercussion in the world economy might be extensive. Like everyone expects, after the halving in May, more miners will leave  their job with this present price which shows that bitcoin remain under priced and not profitable for miners so their is need to pump the price.

Private investment looks to be good option if u can defend the credibility of the project and require good funding. Private investors could be long term base on how attractive the offer is and I expect a strategy that can extend the exit plan of every investor. For possibilities of scam, project should at this time design a staggered investment process, that fund the delivery of each milestone till the project is sustainable. Such approach will be attractive for any investor

I will be waiting for coingecko quarterly review of the market to know the numbers of IEOs and ICOs in the period of 3 months, the amount of fund also raised by the startups, then I could know the percentage of bounty from this space. I found most of the project offering campaingn not interesting and my favorite bounty managers less active. The pandemic had brought more fear in the space and there is more fear to invest.

 Check the review of those that had purchased to know the users experience. Problem most time is not the software but the hardware. If it has been ascertain you can proceed to purchase. I dont know about your country but since the beginning of this pandemic some countries had been confiscating some products from china. So you can find out from your mailing companies before purchase.

This crisis is exposing the government's incompetence. Not only in Europe but America as well, with all the temerity and lousiness of the leaders. The lapses in the economy, pro-activeness and low infrastructure of the health sector over the years. When the government kept spending on war for years, misplacing its priorities. Someone will pay the debt government is accruing, definitely our children and it is not the first time is done. I was expecting more of the relief as food and daily necessities not cash, cash will definitely cause inflation.   

You sound like Tezos in the coin you put all your money. Tezos is the coin in the market and the crises is not affecting Tezos, so there is no reason for fear. What matters now is what everyone decide to do with the coins with him/her. Hodl or sell of. A coin like Tezos with such use case, big community, exchanges and high marketcap has no reason to fear in the market. Work with facts and knowledge, not emotion.

I dont do social media campaign and I have less than 2000 followers on twitter but I can tell you due to my long time in this space and my frequent tweet on cryptocurrency have gain more friends with crypto interest, more than 70% cryptocurrency friends. However, to retain my trust among followers because past scam ICO/IEOs I dont do social media campaign for any project. If I ever do for trusted projects not as a bounty participant and will prefer exchange listed project with my trust.

Everyone in this space is a trader at a point. So called investors gets into trade at a point most especially in the bull market and some trade immediately after the private purchase that gives x2 or more profit. The rich ones in this space cant go into short term trade as some do, they prefer projects on big exchange and project that provide OTC trade, such selloff can dump the market massively so they get high volume exchange for trade or OTC selloff that is staggered.

You are one of the luckiest in the world to get on the space at this time. Anyone joining after the bear market bottom can only see the bull market parabolic but will need to learn how to get the best from the bull market. Most people made this mistake in their first bull and had to regret it in the next cycle. Position yourself very well in this market and get reliable mentors with experience of 2 cycle to help you through. The more the risk here the more the gain.

The bounty group for the project had not been outrightly close,  so we dont know if they might pay sometimes. The only concern will be the team's ability to request for KYC again at their own cost. It will forever remain challenging with the regular FUD faced by bounty hunters both in this and outside. In few weeks the team should be paying other participants that requested payment in 6 months then we see some activities in the bounty group again.

Most IEOs on big exchanges dont believe they need need bounty because the fame, they beleive they are big enough to sell off any project even at a reduced price. THough at some in past year we saw some binance IEOs run bounty campaign but halted when they got this approval. I guess its against binance protocol of raising fund, actually it got bounty hunters a better reward. Every idea in a bear market sometimes look unproductive because of the sentiment among investors but could turn out good in the bull market. The recent idea of staggered bounty reward distribution is also to generate a steady volume trade that could look attractive to investors but it has not been the case even with the low reward allocated for bounty.
