Obviously simply participating in an airdrop is only going to bring you small rewards, usually in the order of $5 - $50, sometimes significantly more or less in rare cases.

If you're looking to make decent money, then airdrops are not the way, unless you participate in dozens every day. Just take your time, read about the project and invest what you can. Spread your risk to offset potential losses.

I really don't think that bitcoin will get anywhere close to $35,000 this year. There have been years where Bitcoin doesn't see any growth, and ends in the red compared to the year before. It does not necessarily mean it's doomed, but sometimes trends take more than just a few months to iron out. I think 2019-2020 will be the years when crypto really shines.

Where did you see that 1% of the population are dabbling in bitcoin? I think that is a massive over-estimation, I actually think there are less than 10 million people worldwide using crypto, that's about 0.1% of people.

I am of the view that bitcoin will reach approximately $100,000 once its user base increases 5 fold, this will probably take about 2-3 years.

I wish I knew that blockchain.info was the worst website imaginable, and that Zcash would undergo a gigantic spike upon its release.

Obviously I also wish I knew that Bitcoin Gold would be completely useless, rather than buying into the hype.

With no collateral your assurances are worth zero. You do realize that every scammer makes the same assurances, and yet inevitably vanishes with the money?

It really irritates me when I see people wanting a '"chance to prove themselves", because they're "not like the rest". When in reality, most people who say this are exactly like the rest.

Here's my tips on avoiding a scam ICO, these can apply to other products as well;

1. Look at the team, have they been in successful ICOs before, is this their first? How strong is their background?
2. Do they have a realistic development roadmap, and the team members necessary to execute this promptly?
3. Do they have a lot of hype around their product, but no real evidence of strength?

If these have negative results, then you should avoid the project.

These are exactly the reasons why bitcoin and other cryptos are dropping as of late. Bad news, regulations and advertising issues mostly. If any country issues negative regulations on bitcoin, it will lead to a price reduction, if there is a big hack.... Guess what? Price drop. If somebody famous says bitcoin is dead....... GUESS WHAT? MARKET ENTERS THE RED!

Bitcoin and other cryptos are highly reactive to media pressures, this is not a good thing.

Zcash actually shot up over $10,000 in its original launch, and one unlucky (idiot) bought the genesis ZEC for about 20 thousand BTC.

I think that Zcash definitely has great potential among the cryptos, but it has some underlying issues with supply, as you can never be sure what the total supply is, due to it being mostly private.

Could be that the opening ceremony was compromised, and new coins are being fraudulently added to the supply without anybody knowing.

Most ICOs pay their employees in some fraction of either ETH, or their upcoming token. I think it's quite commonly accepted in the crypto world, but to offer to pay a regular job in crypto would not go down well. Currently, about half of the money I earn is in crypto, so it's definitely less unusual to us here on bitcointalk.

You will find just as many mathematical models saying that BTC will crash to $0 within the next month, doesn't mean it is true. The price volatility of bitcoin doesn't follow any predictable trend, so I don't think we can accurately say when we will see a resolution to this dip.

Stop losses might be a good idea, but then you can also be caught and forced to selling during a random dip, after which the price multiplies.

If you are going to set a stop loss, you should usually peg it to USDT, that way you can ensure the true value of your holdings is maintained, but might sacrifice gains against BTC.

I have never understood people who say the price dropping means more people can get involved.... How exactly? You do realize that Bitcoin can be bought in fraction right? e.g. 10,000 satoshi, 20 mBTC or some other fraction.

If somebody wanted to buy $400 of BTC, they can do so, the only thing that changes is the amount of BTC they get, the value of that BTC will still be $400 at the time of purchase.

This is not the first time this has happened, a similar action was taken in the US as well. Can't see how this isn't considered monopolization, but I guess they can get away with it.

Definitely not the end of crypto, as I highly doubt they would know if you paid for crypto regardless, but it will definitely make it more difficult to buy.

Anybody who still continues to gamble whilst jeopardizing their finances has a gambling problem, it's as simple as that. Unless you are a professional, careful gambler, the odds of you making a decent profit are low, whilst the odds of you winning a substantial jackpot are orders of magnitude lowers. Remember to focus on the statistics, do not think that skill can beat games with a house edge, the best you can hope for is a lucky streak.

Nobody is taking a profit right now, as there is no profit. The market has been red like this for the last month, showing only brief signs of recovery. Remember, no news is good news in the world of crypto, whereas bad news is often interpreted as the end of crypto. Don't expect to see much green for the next few weeks until there's some good news.

Well they are not really lying, but they are also not telling the whole truth either. Whilst it is very possible for you to win big on these websites, it is more likely that you wont. That being said, whilst you invest in the bankroll, you have a good chance of gaining interest, but it will be only slight. Most people gamble for the chance of winning big rewards, rather than for making small incremental gains, which is where bankroll investment comes in.

If you think about the numbers, Facebook has 2.2 billion active users, and probably around 3 billion registered users. FB has a market cap of 466 billion USD, which means that everyone of its active users is worth around $211 (which is actually much higher than I was expecting). Currently bitcoin's market cap stands at 100 billion USD, with an estimated 10 million users transacting in bitcoin regularly. This means that each user is worth approximately $10,000. 50x higher than Facebook. Just looking at these numbers, if Bitcoin quintuples in users, it will exceed the market cap of Facebook by a good margin. And going from 10M to 50M users is much more likely than Facebook getting much bigger than it already is.

TLDR; Bitcoin will be bigger than Facebook soon.

Ignore me, it seems I am completely blind. 

I think the merit requirement will probably prevent this from happening again, then again, I wouldn't have imagined people would be stupid enough to mess up considering FortuneJack have always been very generous with their campaigns. If you're being paid well, do a good job, that's the old age proverb.
