Bitcointalk is a forum and everybody can post whatever they like, fortunately there are rules and guildlines that guild each postings and there are administrators who help ensure that those rules are followed but we cannot hinge everything on them, like when projects are posted in the forum, there are some kind hearted people that volunteer themselves to researching on new projects and ensuring that they are not scammer, obviously they cannot research on every project posted, they are only human, but you could also volunteer to assist them as well.

As someone who has taken an unwise decision in the past just so I could invest in Cryptocurrencies, I have to say that selling your house to invest in Cryptocurrencies is one of the dumbest things you could have possibly done, in the great dip of early 2018, I saw it as an opportunity to accumulate and I borrowed to accumulate, hoping the market would recover immediately, well it didn't happen and I ended up having to pay back a great deal of money even though I lost almost all the funds.

And the fact that you're asking a bunch of strangers on Bitcointalk if the coins you decided to purchase are worth it, this just indicates to me that you don't believe in the coins you purchased, pleas think carefully, DYOR and don't make a mistake worse.

You hit most of the high points, greed is the major cause of why people get scammed and keeps getting scammed in the Cryptocurrency space, if people would avoid it, then most of the scam cases wouldn't exist at all. But we have to consider that some people just do not know better especially the victims of phishing and I thank you for adding it in this post, bookmarking your favourite pages would help many people avoid this scam method as well.

This is just another prime example of why we shouldn't invest in a token because of hype, this token had so much hype and during their tokensale stage and many people got in just because of that hype and not because of any research they conducted, thankfully the Cryptocurrency space is past that stage, or atleast I like to believe we have passed that stage.

There are so many things I can see that's wrong with the Ida of Swirge being the next steemit, The interface is nothing to write home about and if this is indicative of their programming skills, then it leaves a lot to be desired... Additionally the Swirge token is not trading anywhere, you cannot reward in a token that has no value and expect people to leave an already accomplished platform to come there.

This is why patience is a very valuable commodity in the Cryptocurrency space, never rush into any decisions and you would be fine, just keep accumulating your BitcoinBTC and keep calm until the bullrun comes and you would be strategically prepared to take full advantage of it when it happens, like you said it might take time, but it would come eventually.

You can just scroll through the Bounties section here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0 and you would find lots of bounties that accept newbie members, ofcourse you cannot join signature campaigns because newbies can obviously not wear signatures but you can participate in other aspects like twitter, Facebook, Reddit and others.

If there is one thing I have learnt about Cryptocurrencies in my long time in the space, it's the fact that it has a mind of it's own and cannot really be predicted, we might make predictions and sometimes it works out just like that and we start feeling that it was our ingenuity, but it's actually just luck that made it happen.. the bullrun would come ofcourse, but at a time and season of it's choosing, every prediction is wrong in my opinion until proven right by the bullrun itself, let's not raise our hopes for nothing.

Everything is volatile when it comes to cryptocurrency earnings and this includes the job needed to earn, if it was in a particular period of time, I would have said that ICO investors were the ones that earn the most, with some ICOs giving over 100x profit after it's listed in an exchange but that time is long gone but it might return again, same applies to trading, but presently, I think it's traders that are making more money that ICO investors because the ICO market is presently in a state of limbo.

I just hope that it wouldn't be delayed any further when we enter the year 2020 because it's almost upon us now, it's been a long while and although I understand that it just couldn't have possibly launched with all the legal issues, the delay is getting out of hand, anyways let's just wait and see how it goes.

Yea, u think Libra opened the eyes of many people and Governments that were ignorant of the existence of Blockchain technology or those who just choose to ignore it and hope it goes away, I just hope these new coins and innovations and regulations by Governments worldwide would trigger an altszn.

There are projects out there that didn't conduct any bounties but still didn't enter any cryptocurrency exchanges fast, it's not just limited to projects that conducted bounty campaigns, have you considered that if it's because if the bounty, they could just postpone bounty payment which is what most of them do anyways.

I ma a huge fan of stablecoins and while I love volatile coins, I never forget my Stop-loss for a second, Cryptocurrencies are volatile and can change price within the twinkle of an eye but even in bad times, we have to remind ourselves that the misfortune can reverse within the twinkle of an eye too, remember lastw eek when bitcoin increased over +30% in just a day? It did more than that in 2017 and that trend can be repeated.

Ethereum is one of my too picks anytime, anyday.
Starting from the fact that Ethereum is the first blockchain that gave people the chance to easily create tokens from it's blockchain, Ethereum also introduced smart contracts to blockchain technology. Definitely one of my favourites.

You might also wanna take a look at the brave browser reward program where you are given free Cryptocurrencies for performingtasks such as viewing ads, there are other methods as well and all you just have to do is look around ,for example there are several airdrop campaigns open that one can easily participate in and earn free Cryptocurrencies.

The first line piqued my interest and the second paragraph held my interesta MD I was nodding along to what I was reading until you mentioned Ethereum... You might be right but I am not a fan of ethereum just for it's price and profit potential, I am an ethereum fan because it gave us what even the almighty bitcoin didn't... Smart Contracts... You have to admit that Smart Contracts has contributed positively to the growth of Cryptocurrencies and when bitcoin price is growing, Ethereum grows along with it as well.

Cryptocurrencies are high risk investments and everybody should bear this in mind, there are absolutely no ways to invest safely unless you just want to keep your funds in Cryptocurrencies (HODL, but even if you want to do that, the only coins that guarantees that your funds won't lose it's value is stablecoins. The market is highly volatile and we should always bear this in mind.

Investing in Cryptocurrencies are basically like investing in HYIPs because while it has the potential to make you rich and buy you a lambo, it also has the potential to rekt you because it's not regulated at all and all sorts of inexperienced people can start a project, so as an investor, I always bear this in mind and whenever a project underperforms, I just wrote it off as a loss and move on.

I can answer this question with confidence because I know that before investing in any new coin or project, I do mydue diligence on it and even though my instincts and research has occassionally failed me, those are definitely the minority, DYOR always and ignore what people say.
