I think in the world of investment there is always the risk. Even in forex and stocks, Ive learned many got broke by investing too much in hope of greater rewards. The same for cyrpto, its just that crypto is a roller coaster ride and very fast.

I think most of the coins in the market are struggling and not just ethereum. But I am not that worried for my eth coins because someday when the market will be ready to rise again Im sure that ethereum will be the leading altcoin from all the others.

Actually airdrops and bounties are useful of an ICO because most of the participants are prone to investing in the coins/tokens because they are the ones who understand better project. Although there are many scam ICO today, still there are some which are actually paying and really helps the bounty hunters to start earning here.

Unfortunately you are not the only one who was not paid during a long run of campaigns. And the sad truth is that there is really no 100 percent assurance that you can get a paying ICO after your long hard work. Even if you look for reliable managers, there is really nothing they can do because if ac ICO is a scam, the managers will also be victims of the project.

I think there are telegram groups that can be found in this furom about trading and thats where I found some important things about trading. One is that enter only in trading if you have enough capital because small capital can only lead to losses by fee. Thats the first mistake I had and it was so dumb f me.

Actually, I have been quitting and returning back. There are really times when I was hit hard and really discouraged in the cryptoworld. But seeing that there are still many that believes in the rise back of crypto, it also made me get back my inspiration back.

This is usually true. If you look at the possibilities that will happen during a long time bounty, a lot of participants will be able to participate and thus the share of the bounty will be divided into many parts and the shares will lessen. I think the most profitable bounty is those with 2-3 weeks only if you can find one.

I think too that you are right. Bounties nowadays seem so little that it become valueless and with too many participants, and that if you are lucky enough to have landed on a paying campaign. Worst case is that you wont be paid and your months of work will be wasted.

I think you might be saying there are so many ways of being scammed.Its easy to say about these things to avoid but the truth is you cant really tell scammers from legit. This is one reason why still until today there are scams in crypto and many have still fallen into it. Still I think its luck most of the time that you can land on legit and profitable projects.

I think my smartest move right now is my holding of coins for 4 months now knowing that those coins will be higher in value. I have been thinking I was dumb when I sold some of my coins cheaper than what is have been, but now I know better.

If it is, the numbers of tokens can only be computed at the end of the campaign because you cant still know how much stakes there will be unless all participants are posting enough and earning fix stakes per week.

Although there are so many ICOs nowadays that are scam and not legit, we cant really deny that there are also ICOs that are sincere in their project. That is why I still believe in some ICOs. With enough research and information about an ICO, there is still a chance that you can land on some profitable ones.

You cant really trust ICO ratings nowadays, athough there was a time when  I had trusted ICO ratings and did mo good favors but most todays are only bought. It so sad that this crypto world has become so corrupt and greedy by time.

There are a lot of veteran bounty hunters here that studied the project before participating in it, so I think they also have more understanding in crypto/project. But its true too that there are also bounty hunters that just participate in bounties without research on the project, as long as they are fine with the rules or payment.

I think dumping by bounty hunters only happens to newbies. Most of the participants that have been participating in bounty campaigns have learned that holding coins can earn more money later. I have been dumping my rewards when I was new here, but have learned so much since then and tried to hold.

I think it is totally abnormal to wait for bounty reward for 6 months or more. I think the developers are already having second thought they might give the rewards or not, or will they continue with the project. This already smells fishy. I understand some developers wanted to protect the price of their coins by making time allowances so that bounty hunters will not damage it by dumping right away, but 6 months is to long.

Its funny I think its kind of both. Always seems like a roller coaster ride. I have watched my money tripled by not doing anything and that really made me happy, but I have also watched it plummet and had me really worried.

I think this has become so old, scams by airdrop. If you are really tempted to participate in airdrops, at least use a new empty wallet so that you may avoid being hacked, or never donate anything that asks for donation. Also be wary of airdrops that need your wallet to have eth in order to qualify.

There are actually so many ways to earn money online and that depends on what skill you have or how much money you can spend for capital. Or you can participate in bounties here in bitcointalk but I can not assure you not falling in scams since scam is the twin sister of cryptocurrency.

Im pretty sure we should all like to see bounty managers being punished too when we are scammed, but sadly, I think the bounty managers themselves are victims too like us. They cannot also be paid when an ICO goes missing after getting their money, or if they get paid by the coins, it will be no value. But managers should impose escrow as assurance for themselves and to the bounty participants.
