I cannot agree of more than half of the current ICOs were actually scams because I agree there are too any ICOs that were failed on promoting their Crypto project in the crypto world market but it doesn't mean they're scam and fraud.
Most failed ICOs were decided to stop their Crypto project due to insufficient fund raised on their ICO stage and some had been successful.
There are a lot of scam ICOs that are already bagged investors' money but I don't think most of the ICOs are scams.
In my personal ratio then there would be 1 over 20 ICOs are scam, that is only 5% and not 80%.

Coins that were listed by giant coin exchanges like Binance, Bitfinex, Poloniex and other top crypto exchanges in the market today because it's one of the reasons of pumping the coin like EOS, NEO and other Top altcoins in coinmarketcap.com.
Good traders are into top coin exchanges as well so they will then get attention on our coins that are being listed on the top coin exchanges.
Some of my altcoins were aiming on top coin exchanges and hopefully it will bump soon so that my Crypto Assets will be then increased in value.

Most of my altcoins are ERC20 so most of them are available on decentralized coin exchanges like EtherDelta, ForkDelta and IDEX but some of the ERC20 coins are available on KuCoin and CoinExchange so I always do trading through these two coin exchanges as they are somehow reliable and faster than decentralized coin exchanges.
But some of my coins were pushing into Binance and Bitfinex listing so that the coin value will then soon pump.

Agree, now is the time to buy our favorite altcoins, and I just bought some of the favorite altcoins like Oyster Pearl PRL, Ripple, Envion, WePower, Debitum Network, ODEM and other new altcoins that are very promising and has the potential to be the next altcoins in the crypto market.
This quarter I have the feeling that the crypto market will recover so we should buy our altcoins while they're very cheap and we still have the chance.

I indeed feel positive this second quarter of the year on crypto market because I am optimistic and thinking positive that crypto market will recover this quarter and even more in the following quarter and before this year ends just like the crypto market cap last year 2017.
I have the feeling that we're are already hit the rock-bottom so Bitcoin and Crypto market are on it's way for recovery and will start to pump very soon.
if not this week then probably in the next few weeks or months.

There are too many factors on how to check whether that ICO is legitimate of scam but for me, I can spot them just buying on their Telegram Channels because I do believe that good ICOs have a very strong social communities like Telegram, facebook, Twitter etc.
check the number of social participants like Telegram, they should have more than a thousand active members and admins are available at anytime of the day because good ICOs do have social managers and moderators.
otherwise, that ICO has a higher chance of being a scam or bogus.

finding out legitimate ICOs and Crypto project this year is very difficult due to scammers can even make good websites and make everything that are too good to be true.
I am a bounty hunter so I do have more experiences on joining scam and bogus ICOs and bounty campaigns and none of us noticed that ICO were actually scam unless the ICO is about to end.
scammers bagged the investors' money and ran away and that's the time we only know that the ICO are scam and it's kinda too late.

That's why I had just given advise to invest into other promising crypto than that crypto name that isn't popular and famous in this forum or elsewhere.
Investing on immature crypto will end up into higher risks so the higher chance of losing your $2,000 into the blue.
I prefer investing on promising Altcoins like Oyster Pearl PRL, Ripple and you'll get double amount of coins or even more.
invest into low price valued top altcoins like Ripple, Tron, Verge and other top altcoins.

Persia isn't that popular so I really don't feel better with that coin word as my intuition didn't mind to waste my time on that crypto project.
If you are serious of having $2,000 and want to invest in crypto then try Oyster Pearl PRL, it's cheaper today but guaranteed that it will soon pump in the next few days or weeks because it's main net will be launched this month.
If you do buy more PRL then you will get Oyster Shell SHL as the only way to get that is through having PRL and you will get exact amount of SHL.

I don't think that matters because bounty hunters will join a bounty campaign when they just feel they want to join.
on my own experiences, there are too many ICOs and Crypto project that has no working products and project but just a plain white papers and nothing more.
when I discover that an ICO will soon have a good products or projects then I'll take it down to my lists and I only do hit Invest button when they bumped on coinmarketcap.com and coin exchanges. that means when they're worth for my investments then I don't hesitate to invest, otherwise I just want to join bounty campaigns without reading everything to their websites.

Ripple is the leader of the billion supply coin group so it's pretty normal that Ripple isn't increasing it's price value even after a very long time.
But Ripple is faster than Bitcoin and it's hard forks, Ethereum, NEO and other Top Altcoin in the crypto market.
Ripple will indeed grow begged after time because there are already numbers of giant companies were partnering Ripple to offer more flexibility to each companies to their clients and customers.
I invested Ripple last year and now I am holding it for my long term goals.

well said. and for me, that's the most reason behind why people are holding their Crypto Assets for the reason of keeping them for long-term.
But the real situation isn't the same because as you can see on the coin exchanges, people keep on trading even they lose their Crypto and money just to keep it in motion.
I choose to hold my crypto assets due for my long term goals and only if holders and thinking the same then the price value of a coin will eventually go higher as the actual circulation is too limited.

I do believe that if everyone will hold their Crypto Assets let's say around 80% of the coin holders will hold their coins then that would make a huge impact on coin price value as the actual circulation is very limited due to holders are keeping their coins on their wallets.
But that's not the real case as the earlier statement is very impossible to happen.
people would dump their coins for a lot of reasons and that's why coins are struggling their price growth because they often dong trades no matter how much they lose.

Joining this forum and signature bounty campaigns will offer us good future and money but this year isn't better than last year because we can no longer get higher bounty stakes like we do last year.
this merit system is the new requirement to rank up so this year Jr. Members will be stuck on being Jr. Members and so does Members and so on.
I am thankful enough that I made multiple higher ranked accounts before the merit system so I don't think I could feel more stress than other new members in this forum.

all I can say is this Crypto is the best thing happened in our lives while the world does not yet adapting it.
we are lucky that we are earning money more than our average salary through crypto and bounty campaigns.
today, my portfolio is consistent and I am holding decent amount of Crypto Assets that is my 10 year salary that I even earned it just 5 months of joining signature bounty campaigns.
that is why I made multiple accounts so that I could join multiple signature bounty campaigns and get more bounty stake tokens as reward for helping ICOs to reach their goals.

I do believe in Cryptocurrency as our future of money so that's why since last year and until today I participate a lot of signature and other bounty campaigns and I invested also some of the most promising Altcoins I know because while the crypto market is down and bleeding, I take this good advantage while they're very cheap and on sale.
I believe that this technology will replace the money that we are using today and will be soon crypto to be part of our everyday living.

Well said, as of now, I am still joining a lot of Bounty campaigns as many as I could like facebook, twitter, translations etc. while the market isn't that stable.
while Bitcoin price value is on it's lowest value, then we can still do a lot of things like joining bounty campaigns or focus on something else like our full time job and I am a part time photographer so I think I could still maximize my time on other stuff while we're waiting for the crypto market stabilization.

indeed, when the Crypto Market finally recovers in the next few months then those invested their favorite and promising Altcoins will offer them higher and massive earnings and return of investments.
as of now my only option is to hold, hold and hold as long as the crypto market will rise back into it's highest market cap in the near future.
although the market still bleeds today but I am still hopeful that my Crypto Assets will increase it's value before my wedding this coming october.

I only owned a little Bitcoin but most of my coins are ERC20 tokens but they're not exempted on bleeding when the Bitcoin drops so I choose to hold my altcoins and never sell them out of panic because it's the only way I know to save and keep them.
Holding your altcoins will offer you more possibilities of earning more and higher returns out of your holdings and investments.

I know that almost all New members in this forum aren't having capital to invest on ICOs so we all participate bounty campaigns as the biggest part of out crypto contribution.
like me, I started to join bounty campaigns when I hit being Jr. Member and until today so bounty campaign is the best option for us to earn new altcoins.
But there are some new members as well who are able to invest on ICOs because probably they are business enthusiasts and seeing crypto market will be huge in the near future.
