Yeah, it would be nice if people would genuinely try to help each other more in the crypto community. Too many have an every-man-for-himself mentality.

"A new report has found that news stories about cryptocurrency regulation affect the price of Bitcoin and other cryptos. This might seem obvious to cryptocurrency watchers. However, what’s interesting is what the report found about the different ways that such news impacts prices. Notably, news stories about limiting or banning cryptocurrencies tend to have the effect of lowering prices. In contrast, news stories about creating new cryptocurrency regulations tend to cause prices to rise. This means that even if the perpetual talk about cryptocurrency regulation is tedious, the correlations between news stories and coin prices means it is still relevant for investors." https://hackernoon.com/regulatory-news-boosts-cryptocurrency-bitcoin-price-e196c49431ab |

"Airdrops are a central feature of the cryptocurrency space. The first time I participated in one I didn’t even fully understand what it was or the value of the tokens I received. I was new to crypto and had read something on social media about “free ETH”. I followed the link and provided my ETH address. In actuality, no one was giving out free ethereum. A startup was airdropping their new token. The amount they were giving away was going to cost .5 ETH during their upcoming Initial Coin Offering (ICO). I got the tokens but it wasn’t until later I understood I had 1000 ERC20 tokens that could eventually be worth something on an exchange. Since then, I have participated in hundreds of airdrop campaigns and made thousands of dollars in profit. I want to share my experience navigating the world of airdrops, as well as the scams I saw along the way." https://blog.goodaudience.com/a-guide-to-profiting-from-crypto-airdrops-and-avoiding-scams-along-the-way-b4f77b4082a6 |

"Blockchain technology has been said to have the potential to disrupt many industries with low-cost transactions, immutability, and enhanced security. Indeed, many blockchain implementations have been developed, each exhibiting unique features tailored to specific use-cases. One of the most exciting of these use cases is serving so-called emerging markets. In this article, I discuss some of the central challenges of emerging markets and how one African-based crypto startup plans to overcome them." https://hackernoon.com/how-blockchain-technology-can-serve-emerging-markets-a7585ca2ff43 |

"The Blockchain Research Institute (BRI) is a global, independent think tank dedicated to understanding the social and economic impacts of blockchain technology and cryptoassests. The BRI has emerged as an authority on making sense of the emerging digital landscape. In August, the BRI released a report on the current state of blockchain regulation in Canada and the challenges that exist as a result of the disruptive effects of blockchain technology on the economy. It identified issues of concern and provided recommendations for regulation going forward. In what follows, I provide a summary of the key points of the BRI report."

"I've come across many new projects recently stating the intention to “transform” a given industry through blockchain technology. These projects — regardless of what it proposes to do — often involve the creation of an online platform that requires the use of a native/new token. This has resulted in glut of altcoins. As of this summer, there are over 2000 cryptocurrencies available. Conducting transactions within a proprietary platform or “ecosystem” is the main (often only) use for most of these tokens. Some of them are also traded on exchanges. Blockchain technology does not require the use of cryptocurrencies to function. It is entirely possible to use it without tokens. The tokenization of value is just one of its possible applications. Given this, it begs several questions about how the currency cryptospace operates. Why do projects create a unique token for what they propose to do? Why don’t startups develop platforms that accept existing cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, NEO, ETH, Ripple, etc.? When contributors to ICOs but tokens what kind of value do they hold? To answer these questions, I’m going to first discuss some basics of blockchain technology. Then I will delve a bit deeper into its application in the real estate sector." Full article: https://hackernoon.com/why-do-so-many-blockchain-startups-create-their-own-coins-99fcab38ad75 |

This was written a couple days before the SEC's Proshares decision but is still useful. "Less than a month ago, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) delayed a decision to approve a Bitcoin-based ETF. In a few days, it will decide on another proposed Bitcoin ETF. This article briefly explains what an ETF is, different types of Bitcoin ETFs, challenges to Bitcoin ETF approval, and which Bitcoin ETFs are likely to be approved first."

How to Tell if Cryptocurrencies are Securities Using the Howey Test "We hear a lot about the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the US potentially regulating ICOs and possibly declaring some coins and tokens securities. We even hear of potential security-laws violations in the past months. However, how do we tell if an asset really is a security? The SEC uses something called the "Howey test". This article explains the Howey test and explores whether ICO tokens qualify under it."

You actually should. I think articles like this aren't for people who already know a lot about crypto. more for newbies.

Yeah, it wasn't "free" in that no one just gave it away. The author did stuff like online surveys, airdrops and bounties. But I think it could be useful for people who have no money to buy but do have time to spare to get crypto in other ways.

"A lot of people in the cryptospace are looking to increase their Bitcoin holdings. The proliferation of scams that seem to offer quick and guaranteed profits from minimal investments are a testament to this. Individuals have messaged me on social media offering ways to make easy money fast. I’ve also seen dozens of posts from people promising amazing returns in exchange for sending them small investments. While these are scams (real investment opportunities never guarantee profits and no one is just giving crypto away for free), they continue to exist for a reason. People are looking for ways to get Bitcoin with little to no effort or upfront costs." Full article in Hacker Noon: https://hackernoon.com/how-i-got-over-11-000-in-free-bitcoin-af21a734f45d |

Interesting article: "The uptake of blockchain technology for the development of decentralized applications has given rise to a new market niche: application development and deployment automation. Automation is an important aspect of app development because it speeds up the delivery of products, simplifies developers’ workflow, and requires them to use fewer tools. However, there is a core challenge in the area of app development that has yet to be overcome, and is not the development automation itself but rather scaling automation operations." https://hackernoon.com/solving-the-core-problem-of-automation-in-the-app-development-industry-5a66ed6310b0 |

Yea, it's true. ICO scams are a whole category unto themselves.
