I'd always suggest holding bounty tokens, especially if it's a decent project that you believe in. The crypto market changes so quickly as well, especially with announcement on development and exchange listings. If it's a big ICO it is likely that it will at least get onto an exchange like Hitbtc, if not bigger, and that always normally brings an increase in price too.

How will you be distributing the tokens once the crowd funding is over, will it be done manually by yourselves?

It's about time that more payment processing options for ERC20 tokens came around. Does anyone have an idea of how much this actually costs though?

Right now Bitcoin is looking like a good investment, especially if you're a long term believe and suspect that its price could rise considerably more. There's no question though that the time of turning $100 into a couple of grand with Bitcoin has gone, at least for the foreseeable future so alt coins are definitely more likely to give you that sort of return if you've got smaller amounts you're hoping to make big profit on.

I think cryptocurrency can definitely provide people with an opportunity to potentially get out of poverty or at least improve their lives. Although I worry that if it ever becomes mainstream like FIAT money, wouldn't we then have the same problems we have now? As everything will have a value and a price. Venezuela is a great example though of how crypto has helped people survive in a society that is collapsing economically.

We can all dream right? haha

As has already been recommended, sticking some of that into Eth, at least at its current price, would be a great move in my opinion. Some other good coins have been suggested too like Monero and Neo etc so I'd have a look at some of the bigger ones by marketcap and see what ones you like the look of both tech wise and price wise. Look at past price movements as well. Grabbing one Monero would be good in my book. Perhaps even stick $100 into a coin which is relatively small by marketcap atm in the hope that it may give you the biggest gains, it's a risk but could pay off.

It's a gamble either way really. A lot of ICOs have seen their coins be sold cheaper than the ICO price after launch, while others the price sky rockets. I think the important factor is the project. If it looks like a really great project that is going to have success, the ICO price may be the cheapest it will get. If it's one you're on the fence about, there's a good chance I'd say that it may go below ICO price on market before going up.

Having a working project is important I'd say as it not only proves that you are competent and have the skills needed to build the platform you're raising money for, but it is also good as it shows investors what you have in mind and helps them make a better decision about whether or not this is something they want to invest in. On paper an idea might sound great but in execution it may not be, so having a working product that functions bridges that gap. It's something I look for when looking at ICOs for sure.

At a guess, I'd say Bitcoin just because of its popularity already and it's always Bitcoin in which price and market speculation is linked to. I think it's also easier for your average citizen to get their head around Bitcoin than it is for Ethereum, and that's already hard enough as it is!

I like Ethereum the best out of the options, mainly because of the almost endless possibilities that can be created with it and I feel it's been a real game changer for crypto in the past year or two. Monero is also a good one.

Blockchain is probably most useful, out of those options, for exchanges. Although Blockchain will also be great for financial industries too so I definitely expect to see it gaining more use in that sector before too long. E-commerce is also an area that can benefit from blockchain as well.

Sounds interesting, but I'm wondering I this project is pegged to the price of gold or is it actually backed by gold in the sense that you have the gold?

I'm not sure if you could make a full-time living from it but you can definitely make money and if you put in enough time, perhaps you could make a nice little supplement to your main income. Just avoid giving your personal information to any airdrops though but if you only need an email and your address then you've got nothing to lose. Just keep a track of every airdrop you've gone for and how much you received and have a strategy in mind; are you going to sell as soon as possible or are you going to hold in the belief that it's a legit project that may go somewhere? You'll want a different strategy for each coin but it's possible!

Crypto definitely gives people more freedom with their money to do what they want and send wherever they want without the level of scrutiny and costs you get from using your bank. On the whole this is a good thing but at the same time, one of the reasons why there are people seeking to bring in regulations is due to the amount of manipulation and scams in crypto. On one hand we don't want regulation but on the other you've got people who take advantage and spoil it. That's why we can't have nice things.

The less influence that governments and banks have into our money and lives though is definitely better and hopefully that's where we are headed.

There's some big names listed as your supporters, have any of them publicly come out in support of the project as I can't find anything which shows Suarez or Bartra themselves supporting this. There's press releases by you guys but would be great to see support in their own words. Will these supporters be going public with their support and if have some have already, it would be great to have some links

It's good to see that ICOs are still alive and well! I haven't heard of those two you suggested but after taking a look at them HowDoo looks the most interesting

At the moment I only see cryptocurrency working as mean of payments for wages in freelance jobs, mainly because they are likely to be one off payments. For recurring wages though it's a risk to receive your pay in crypto due to the fluctuations, plus you'd have to make sure you're paying all your taxes and if you're on the UK, national insurance too.

If we reach a stage where most places accept crypto as payment it may be more viable as you'd be able to spend it, rather then cashing it out for your currency as you would do right now. Maybe in a few years as cryptocurrency continues to evolve and adoption gets pushed further it may be useful.

Good luck with the project! Do you have any systems already developed which would allow this coin to be easily integrated into existing stores so merchants and consumers can start receiving cashback or is development still ongoing? Looking forward to seeing more details though!

Is there any use case for Festival Coin right now? If not, what do you have planned for the future to make people adopt it?
