I still believe that there are good projects that have potential. However the chances are really high that any new coin will get into top 50 on coinmarketcap one day. So I am collecting tokens and waiting for another bull run.

You want everything right here and right now, nobody is going to tell you about projects that would make x10. Do your own research, spend some time by reading whitepapers and you will learn how to sort out scammers.

The best source of information about ICOs/IEOs or STOs, are crypto rating websites like ICOBench, ICOdrops, ICOmarks and so on. They are great to get the first info about the project in general, but never trust the ratings, because they are usually paid.

Right now, doing a fixed allocated bounty programmes make absolutely no sense. 95 percent of all bounties are ending scam or you will get peanuts at the very end. Stakes are much better, because they are giving a chance for the most creative ones to earn more.

I have switched to old altcoins as well. Took me one year to understand that on such a market no new altcoin will bring profit. So 50 percent of my funds are in Bitcoin and it brings me more profit by doing nothing, than by taking part in various bounty programmes.

Who else is responsible? Team members are likely to blame bounty hunters, but we all know it is bullshit. A failure to make wise strategic decisions, listing on bad exchanges and greed are the three most common reasons for a project to fail.

I am betting you would also complain if you are taking part in a signature bounty for 3-4 months, admins are saying that the soft cap was collect and everything is going well, but as soon as bounty ends, you are not getting paid and the project goes scam.

This is the reality of todays market. 20 percent of all projects that are published on ANN and Bounty threads are going to collect their soft cap, a half of them will run away with your money, another 49 percent will drop in price and only one percent of all those projects will bring you something.

I do not know if it is possible to protect your wallet/funds from hackers at any moment. In my opinion there would be always a way to find a security whole and to get fingers on your money. Spread your funds among different wallets to increase the security level.

The most common way is to join various bounty programmes that are live on Bitcointalk and other sources like Bountyhive or Bounty0x. In addition you can take part in airdrop sessions and hope that they would bring you at least some value to exchange them into BTC or ETH.

As soon as BTC dominance would drop, there would be enough bounty projects that would end successfully. Right now, it does not make sense to invest or promote new coins, because even such giants as ETH or LTC are struggling.

I believe it should have happened sooner or later, because in my eyes Libra is a direct competitor of Paypal. Libra wants to achieve cross border payments without time and place restrictions based on blockchain technology.  The same things does paypal but in a centralised way.

Japan was always ahead of the schedule if it goes into technology and especially blockchain. A lot of banks have partnered with XRP and this is their next step. I hope this would cause much more effect of crypto currencies as Bakkt did.

Bakkt exchange was not successful. It is the only logical reason why the price has fallen and the whole market lost in capitalisation. However, I gave up on looking for logic in crypto, because it could also be another anonymous whale, that wanted to buy another house.

What brings this if a North Korean citizen will hold crypto currencies. Unfortunately, 99 percent of them can afford several LTC per month, if they are lucky, refuse to eat and pay for rent. It is a really poor country.

If and only BTC dominance would drop to 45-55 percent, altcoins would have space to increase their prices. Right now, altcoin season seems very optimistic for the nearest future, we need to recover from failed Bakkt launch first.

If you are interested in a particular project, google their ANN thread and telegram link. The most announcements are published only on Telegram, it is definitely the fastest and safest way to find out what is going on with a project.

Coinbase is really active nowadays, I believe they want to be a real Binance competitor in the future, thats why they are adding a lot of coins and trying to create good relationships with Libar and TON for maybe a potential primary listing agreement.

I like the idea of utility and security tokens, but unfortunately, the current trend is represented by exchange tokens. The biggest amount of our community do not care about the real use case of a coin, all they want is Binance IEO and x10 within a night.

If a token was swapped from ERC-20 standard into Binance Chain, there should be an exchange mechanism made by team members of this token. Alternatively, they are not so far, and you just need to wait. Anyway ask in specific tokens chatrooms to get a better understanding.
