I also agree to have set of regulations and policies for bitcoin and other altcoins and crypto projects. This will not only build trust, but also minimize scam and thefts occurences in the crypto space. Companies that would want to launch new crypto related project would need to pass regulatory board first and have signings to further ensure consumer/investors insurance when something goes out of plan.

Finally, I have got an ansert answer from Colorlessk through telegram that they are not closing bountihive right now. But they do not want to add projects that they know won't succeed. So its really good news for bountihive user.

When I was still active on participating in different bounties, I created an account in different exchanges wherein my tokens were listed. But after selling my tokens I stopped using those exchanges since its not really secure compared to reputed ones.

I stick to one exchange for now because im not doing any trades due to market condition, I will wait until some of my coins gain value before going back again to my other accounts.

Unfortunately or fortunately, tokensales in the form in which we have already become accustomed to seeing them are really dead. Investors need more protection to open their wallets again. Even IEO do not provide such protection and participation in them is more reminiscent of participation in a lottery or gambling than a real investment act. Maybe STO will be the solution to the problem, but there are also many pitfalls and risks. Worst of all, I do not see any new creative ideas with viable potential among new projects. Sad.

yes. 40% is too much. you couldn't attract someone to send few coins to your project without guaranteeing them profit right after exchange listing. while its too much of a bonus they are also going to be dumping the tokens they bought from the project, its not likely going to be bought back unless you really have a project that has the chance to really explode.  without the potentials of the coin, you may not even attract some bounty hunters promoting it either so you will result to giving 40% bonus. ohgodness.

The team or project has paid a lot of money to get listed in top exchanges. It has an excellent chance of gaining investors. But it does not guarantee their success as you still have to be careful with your investment.

To be honest I had a bad feeling about this when a lot of "influencers" on twitter were pushing it back then. Didn't exactly make me want to sign up. More the opposite.

Right now is trading at .018 usd or 235 sats, this is not a bad price for an exchange coin, sometimes price of exchange coins going up at ridiculous percents, for example yobit coin Yo token down to .002, then
2 months later the price of that coin going up to .17 , thats almost 90x the all time low price, what do yobit for this, they create a Yo market, they create daily interest for holding that coin, they create an
investbox for bitcoin only for Yo token holders, and exclusive icos for holders, so the success of exchange coins is create demand in the same Exchange,  by the way gonna buy some BXY at this price.

Would be great if owner of Beaxy, ask to coinmarketcap to get the real number of coins in circulation.

I know a few of my friends that keep more money in investments than savings and for me the tisk is too high. If your savings of say 5 years are kept in crypto and the price drops 90% and you panic sell then that is on you. Maybe a long term crypto investment that acts as savings could be a safer bet but a majority will not play long term and be too emotional with every trade.

You should always have some savings in fiat, just incase any life expenses pop up - and the always do eventually.

Yeah as per the recent price of bitcoin is almost $8k so it is increasing but reaching above 20k will take alot of time we will have to wait for it longer. There are only 2 month left behind and maybe price will hardly cross 10k  or  15k dollar but actually no one knows maybe we get a pleasant surprise from market in form of such high price.

$ 6,111

I am always to optimistic - now I am changing my mind...

I think the problem is many are just cloned shitcoins with an added gimmick, most will fail but have just used ICOs as a way to raise money. The few that survive will go on to be great but thete really aren't that many that will IMO..

2020 will be a big year for crypto, like 2014 and 2017.

Most of the cases, I used to choose a POS-based coin because there is no need for any mining hardware in order to mature the coin. Which we might get more than 5% on a yearly basis, which is really very good sign for the people who are holding POS coins. For mining coins, we need to invest a higher amount on hardware equipment.

I would suggest you to take both. When BTC increases, ETH will certainly increase. Add these two coins into your portfolio and split your investment into two and buy both. Both are good coins. You can add, BNB, LTC into your porfolio.

This drop is not over, recent news are that it's going to 6000 dollars, after that we can expect some uptrend. Judging by the market conditions it's very possible to happen like that. I think that 20k is coming after the halving, not rih9away after having of course, it will take some time but that price will come. Until then price will continue to fluctuate,  we can just hope that 6k will be the bottom and that range of fluctuations will be between that 6k and 10k.
I agree with you that even 10k sounds like a good idea in this moment, if we are lucky we will see that price before new years evening.

Maybe it's possible to make it back for several years, but it's not taking easy when we expect it this year. It sounded frustrating to see but the reality is the naked proof. If adoption could increase again and fluctuating price will not worsen in which could pull down the price, hopefully that $20k will be achieved.
