Now it’s just a very bad period for altcoins. For almost two years now they have not been increasing in price after last year’s bear market. Therefore, the tokens of even good projects now, as a rule, after appearing on the exchange, sharply fall in price. When the market begins to rise, and altcoins begin to grow in price, the situation with ICOs will also change for the better. Better times are to be expected.

We must not forget that in cryptocurrency it is impossible to solve such issues by administrative methods. The usefulness or futility of projects, as well as their cryptocurrencies, should be decided only by the market. Only supply and demand should be indicators of what is necessary and what is useless for the market. To intervene in this process means to intervene in the process of decentralization.

I still have free time, and I have already developed the habit of talking on this forum and discussing news about cryptocurrencies. Earning as a bounty hunter is now becoming more and more unpredictable and generally symbolic. So far, the hope in this activity is not just on the rise of the market, but on a qualitative change in the ICO process and, in general, streamlining of its activities. Now, bounty hunters are so often and brazenly deceived that the meaning of this very idea, its necessity and usefulness is lost. It seems that we need state regulation and the establishment of clear rights and obligations.

Has Jimbi really turned out to be an abandoned project? More recently, their token is valued at several tens of dollars. I once participated in this bounty, back in November of last year passed KYC, but I still did not receive my earned tokens. The distribution time was periodically postponed.
The Miracle Tele project, of course, upset everyone. Now, the tokens received from the bounty are dead weight in them on the site on the stack and no longer generate any passive income. The ICO team refused to pay to those who received tokens from the bounty.
 I agree that earning bounty hunters is getting harder and harder.

Yes, many projects initially conduct ICOs for some time, and even with a previously known date for IEO on the exchange. This is generally a good strategy that takes advantage of both forms of fundraising.
For bounty hunters, this is generally very beneficial. I am pleased to join the signing campaign of such an ICO - IEO, because the time of fundraising and the time of the signing campaign are reduced, and the likelihood of a positive result is much greater. It also revives the activities of the ICO at least a little.

It is impossible to act unequivocally in this situation. How to deal with altcoins correctly and profitably, you need to decide in each case. This primarily depends on the project and the prospects of the coin or token. I agree that a significant portion of altcoins should be sold as soon as possible, immediately profitable. However, the other part may well increase in value over time. Now there are a lot of decadent moods, because in fact altcoins have not been growing in price for two years now. However, the time for altcoins will come.

The change in the terms of payment of remuneration to bounty hunters is primarily to blame for the ICO team. Now it has come to the point that rarely a team does not deceive bounty hunters. A recent example of this is the Mirakle Tele project. The team has long paid passive income in its website. However, after some time they unilaterally announced that they were reducing payments and that the previously paid amounts on this site would be recounted downwards. This means a decrease of about five times. It turns out that who managed to withdraw this income, he won, and who believed this project, to a large extent lost their money. The team could reduce the amount of paid passive income, however, to select the amounts already calculated - this is a direct and undisguised fraud.

IEO solves only a few investor problems. At the same time, exchanges only partially check projects for prospects and the absence of fraud. However, they cannot guarantee this, and they do not have such opportunities. During the IEO, investors register on the exchange, buy new tokens through it and have the opportunity to trade these tokens when they appear on the exchange. The normal and successful development of the IEO project does not guarantee. Therefore, with IEO, investors only have the opportunity to quickly sell new tokens on the same exchange, and then, if there are buyers for these tokens. IEO practically does not give anything else.

The wave of protests in Hong Kong continues to expand, people are building barricades in the streets and stopping subway trains. This is a pretty serious conflict. The authorities did not need to allow such an increase.
We observe that in such centers of conflict and in the territories adjacent to it, the rate of cryptocurrency, and primarily Bitcoin, is growing significantly. It is likely that this will happen this time, even despite the position of the Chinese government in relation to bitcoins.

This year, Bitcoin showed good growth from the beginning of April to the end of June, increasing in price by almost four times. In the fourth quarter, we expect another wave of growth. Of course, bitcoin is capable of rising to $ 24,000 at the end of the year. This is theoretical, because from a practical point of view, such an increase, and much more than its previous price record, seems impossible now. Most likely its growth by the end of the year in the range of 15,000 - 18,000 dollars.

Unfortunately, for bounty hunters this is really a really bad time to work. The teams of ICO projects after its completion, as a rule, begin to deceive the participants of the bounty campaigns. Previously, this was a rarity, but now it is a rarity to fulfill the previously agreed conditions. A vivid example is Miracle Tele, which paid passive income in euros on its website, and now those who did not withdraw it are going to re-read the already paid amounts, intending to reduce them by about five times. This can already be called direct fraud. Therefore, I never trusted those projects that pay bounty hunters on their sites, and not in the wallets we specified. Now this is a mass phenomenon. The ICO project teams promise us to pay their tokens to the wallets we provided, but already during the ICO they change their minds and say that the payment will be either on their website, for which they need to register, or in their wallets, which almost always cause various problems.

This reasoning is true only when you reckon that Bitcoin will constantly increase in value. I don’t have such confidence in me, because we live in this gross physical world, where most people make a living by hard work, heaven’s manna doesn’t fall from heaven, Therefore, by all the laws of our physical world, bitcoin will not be able to have a sky-high price that will not be comparable with our ideas about the basic laws of economics. Do not forget that free cheese is only in a mousetrap. We do not know how high Bitcoin can rise in price. However, the time will soon come for the relative stabilization of its price in terms of its ceiling. However, I do not think that then its price volatility will stabilize. With high price volatility, it cannot be a reliable repository of value.

Let's see how successful such a new recognition technology will be. She, of course, is very interesting. However, anyone who takes your device by force and brings it to your face will completely manage your money. Imagine walking, getting hit in the face or on the head, and when you wake up, you find that all the money from your account has been withdrawn. I don’t know, of course, the level of security depends on the country of residence, but I would not risk having such a way of controlling my wallet.

I do not agree with this opinion. Altcoins are currently experiencing temporary difficulties. However, even now they continue to develop rapidly in different directions and improve rapidly. The increase in bitcoin capitalization is primarily due to the current expectation of its soon increase in price. Given the state of the market and bitcoin itself, its level of capitalization will fall over time. Therefore, I do not worry about the fate of altcoins.

Of course, people will always be interested in the personality of the creator of Bitcoin. However, it seems to me that it's time to stop looking for the real Satoshi Nakamoto.
Firstly, he himself wanted to remain anonymous and we see that they took certain steps for this. Therefore, his opinion must be respected.
Secondly, the probability of its detection decreases every day, because too much time has passed. Most likely, if the real Satoshi Nakamoto does not want to reveal himself, no one will prove that he is this person.
And thirdly, for bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general, it will be beneficial that no one has a patent for this invention and it is considered an invention of the people.

No, gold was, is and will be gold, an indispensable means of storing value, a measure of value and a means of payment. New technologies will only push him out of the market a little, but he will save his main positions. Bitcoin has many advantages, but it also has disadvantages, and above all, its high price volatility. New technologies also depend on the availability of the Internet, a power source, the need to interact with other technical means and the availability of these technical means as a means of ensuring payment. Especially these shortcomings will manifest themselves during various disasters and then people will again be drawn to gold.

Yes, dividends in cryptocurrency are a relatively new direction for obtaining passive income, which are very promising in the sense that they stimulate the retention of cryptocurrencies, and not the search for the possibility of their successful sale.
Until recently, many considered the Miracle Tele project a success, as it paid large dividends to holders of Tele tokens for a long time. However, recently, something incomprehensible has been going on in this project. Let's hope that the difficulties are temporary and are associated with inept project management. However, many consider it simply a fraud.

I am very glad to hear such words about the new features of ethereum associated with the planned improvements to this coin, which Buterin recently expressed. I noticed that he does not like to brag and if he says something, he says real things. Ethereum is now very important to increase its scalability, because this network is very heavily congested. Of course, I would like to see not tens, but hundreds of thousands of transactions per second on the ethereum network. However, tens of thousands of transactions compared to the current fifteen transactions, this is already good.

Yes, I already noticed that campaigns that promise big profits and even count a large number of their tokens in the future, as a rule, I don’t get anything at all. Various difficulties always appear, KYC checks that drag on for years, wallet changes, swaps, the situation drags on so much that in the end nothing is paid at all. At the same time, inconspicuous campaigns in most cases easily add their tokens to our wallets and they bring a small but stable profit.

The price of ethereum fell amid falling prices for altcoins, which mainly arose on the platform of this coin. This condition is temporary and cyclical. Over time, the situation should improve and bounce back, and ethereum will again increase in both price and popularity.
We expect further improvements in this coin and they should positively affect the price increase ethereum. Now this coin is very underestimated.
