If you are holding your coins it does not mean that you do not have trading knowledge. Holding is part of the
trading process. You probably meant hodling forever or so. It really depends on the market and on the coins in
your portfolio.It is important to achieve your profit goals. Sometimes you do it by hodling, sometimes with day
trading or scalping or shorting or combination of them.

"What happened: Don't want to pay many bounty hunters. "

Help me to understand the logic behind : if they are paying out the full bounty budget of 2.4 million SAM
tokens, what is the benefit for them NOT paying you and "many" bounty hunters as you say ?
I could understand if they keep the remaining tokens for themselves, but they are splitting the whole allocation among the hunters
who fulfilled the rules.
Where would be their interest ? help me to understand. Thanks

I got all my stakes for all four weeks. It is always easier to blame others for our mistakes, rather then read the rules.
They were written in the bounty thread and pinned in the telegram group all the time. And if you missed the first week
you could correct your mistake for 4 weeks. I can agree that the response of the BM was not perfect but I participated
in campaigns where you cannot contact anybody just can complain after the counting has finished. And they are still
counting. I think it is too early to say something is scam if you miss to read the rules.

Agree with you completely as holding is very risky when the market is crashing as just holding can
make you bankrupt if not trading or shorting your coins. The problem is even bigger if you are holding
a trash coin as there is no guarantee that it will ever recover.

There is big competition on the crypto market and only the best projects will survive. Some of them will struggle,
some of them will disappear but those with active development and strong use case will stay for long.

I would say that many bounty hunters are investors as well. Some of the hunters are traders, investors and hunters at the same
time. If a project is perspective, I have a target how much coins I want to collect. I collect some by hunting some by trading or
 buy them in the ICO phase as early bird with huge bonus or later on from dumpers.  And I know some other guys doing the same.

There is no such  guarantee on ICOs. You have to make your own research on the project. Analyze the WP,
Team, look at ICO rating sites etc. but as we are missing regulations on ICO field, there is no guarantee that
you will not be scammed. You can never be sure that at one point the ICO turns out to be a scam and the team
disappear with the funds. This is a risk we have to be aware.

I would not say that all the coins are bleeding, in fact we have a stable market for months with some
ups and downs. We have to be involved and adopt to the market conditions as staying away is not
a solution and never was. Trading could be a solution for higher gains but only if you know what you are doing.

Bounty hunters should give bigger support to ICOs and be more patient as the situation on the market is
not easy. On the other hand ICOs should be more respectful towards hunters. At the end, we are at the
same boat, do not shake it unnecessarily.

Ethereum is the most used  and trusted platform with over than 90%. With the new development upgrades called Serenity
it will insure faster and most secure transactions.

We need stable coins as the market is volatile and they have their role in crypto. During a declining market
we can short our coins not to lose their value and buy them back on dip.

If we find a good project and  we are confident with,  it is always time to invest in it. The question is how much gain we
will make. The market is stagnating last months but there are chances at the end of the year to turn into green.

Scammers are not lazy, in fact they are smart as they find out ways how to trick you and steel your assets.
But, they are just morally bankrupt as they are profiting of another misfortune. They are selecting the wrong
way to earn, as they could use their knowledge to earn on a legit way.

Blockchain should not replace banks rather banks can use blockchain technology and implement it into
their business processes. Many banks are investing in projects which are developing blockchain based
solutions. So, both can benefit as banks has the  infrastructure and they can successfully implement
the new  technology  solution.

It has nothing to do with the bear market rather with bad luck, as I had many such situations last year
when the market was growing like crazy. For example, I sold my SGR and after a couple days it grew like x 20.
 This year for me was much better year in trading than last year was.

I am ready to use cryptocurrency in every day life of course,  as I am not using cash at all for years,
 and already buying some things with crypto in my country. Unfortunately, it is not so widely used that
I could completely switch to it.

It does not matter if it is a red market or not crypto is volatile and this is important for trading. On red market
you can day trading or swing trading and having short gains or you can short your assets and buying back when
the market further drops. The life for a trader is business as usual on bear market.

This year I invest in ICOs significantly less than last year as many of them struggling and not as
profitable as they used to be. I diversify my investments and invest only in projects I am confident.
If I feel they will take me down I use exit strategy even if I lose some portion of the investment.

Ethereum was facing some scalability issues and the development upgrades were postponed,
but ETH  2.0 is coming soon, and it could increase the network capacity by X1000 to process the transactions.
Also he rejected the rumors of him leaving Ethereum. So, if the bulls enter the market ETH is here to ride.
