Success of the project comes to those who have good working team between the bounty manager and the bounty hunters. It's not only the bounty manager that is responsible for the outcome of the project but it also depends more on how the bounty hunters promote the project. So if the project also fails, bounty managers and its participating team are also reliable for it.

IEO is coming to an end, it has been around for more than 2 years and has helped a lot of projects successfully raise capital, but then those projects are also unable to develop and deliver products to the community. Now only the IEOs at the top exchanges in this market can provide profit to investors

if I have a capital of $ 1.5K, I will choose BNB as my investment because I'm seen that the development of BNB is getting better and better
there is always a very positive update and of course it will make BNB up

Can you show me a project which price has been increased while the bounty was distributed within three weeks? I don't know if any of such project exist. I don't think it's a good solution to avoid price dump.

all investments have risks, especially in the crypto currency is also certainly a huge risk, in my opinion Curio this project is still active, although it is still ranked 2333, this project can have the opportunity to top 1000 coinmarketcap

2017 was the year that I have started my cryptocurrency journey. During that year alone, I invested in some few ICOs on top of participating in airdrops and bounty programs.

Blackmoon Crypto Token (BMC) was the first ever ICO that I’ve invested. I think I shelled out $10.00+ for that since I’m just a micro-investor. I remember the time that Blackmoon Crypto Token is almost sold out, so I had to catch up and good thing that I did.

Unfortunately, Blackmoon Token didn’t profit more than $1.00 when it was listed in exchanges. My $10.00 worth of BMC is now $0.42 only. The reason I hold it until now is because I want to keep this as a remembrance of the first-ever ICO that I’ve invested.

The other ICOs that I have invested next to Blackmoon last 2017 are Paragon Coin, Electroneum, Universa, Crypterium and LoyalCoin. Unfortunately all of these ICOs I’ve invested are at a loss, but I didn’t sell them until now.

On top of that, I also invested some TRXs as well during that year and until now I haven’t sold them. XRP is another coin I have invested when it was still around $0.77, but successfully sold them when it almost reached $4.00. I also bought DOGE when it was still $0.006 and sold it when that coin is on it’s way to an all-time high for a quick profit.

What about you guys? Could you share the very first ICO that you’ve invested? Thanks!

Fake project is really frustrating if you're one of the victim especially for investors and bounty hunters.
I had read an interesting way to make sure the project is real. You can identify the project is fake by it's address of the company who is running IEO/ICO. Fake project would be indentify with this way because they put fake location. You can check it with google maps to verify if it's real.

So how do you indentify if the project is fake?

Is a good idea and reason why I always tell people to check bounty rules and regulations including allocations before doing because not all bounty worth the stress. I chatted with a friend regarding bounty allocation he vividly told me that 5$ worth huge in his country while some countries it's absolutely nothing. Let's always check bounty before doing to avoid issues.

I am still trying to imagine how google store would not check the authenticity f what they endorse to be published on their store.  before endorsing a thing like this, the source has to be confirmed and if it is not coming from the rightful owners of the branded name, it should not be accepted. This is why I find it hard to accept what google store presents, except there is a directly link from the owners whom i trust.

actually, there are lots of managers who want to listen to complaints from prize hunters, but the two managers that you mentioned manage a lot of good projects and for now, they both are the most popular managers
good job for the two managers above.

Good point there OP, but I believe the maximum supply should also be considered.  There are lots of projects that held IEO only offers a small part of the maximum supply, thus if successful and listed on exchanges may tempt the dev to dump those remaining tokens that they are holding.  Besides, having utility and scarcity is way better than just utility alone in terms of value appreciation.

Newbies are safer with bitcoin, and avoiding altcoins altogether.

Marketcap is a meaningless statistic. I could create a new token right now, print 1 billion of them, sell a single token to my friend for $10, and now my market cap is $10 billion and I'm the third "top" coin. Just because an altcoin is in the "top 10", means nothing. At least half the coins in the "top 10" are literal scams.

For me is simple, im not a trader, im a holder. So how to trade? I send my coin to exchanges when i need money. This is safer than keep it on exchange, because we don't know about the future. Maybe you just misunderstood. People say "don't leave your coins on exchanges" not "don't deposit to exchanges"

You got it wrong, you're making mining sounds like a trap, new coins have less difficulty rate, ethereum was once so easy to mine, OP chooses wrong coins, I can name few new altcoins in 2018 to 2019 that still have good value till date like Havven, Loki, dero, electroneum and many more, if you can mine them very early you will have many quantities of the coin

Why ICO projects are not popular and are no longer in demand, the main reason is because many ICO projects are scams. Then starting in 2019
the world of cryptocurrency investment is changing. More popular IEO projects for now, not because there are no IEO projects scams. But the
percentage of IEO scams projects is smaller than ICO projects. Moreover, IEO projects are safer, because tokens are certain listing on exchanges.
We just need to choose popular and trusted exchanges for investment in IEO projects.

It seems you are confused to search the coin you want to buy. As @shinratensei_ said, ADA could be a good choice, but you need to search for more about ADA so you can know why you should invest your money in that coin. With the price now, I guess you will have a lot of amount of that coin, but you need to be careful of bitcoin price movement in this month and the next months because bitcoin price now still up and down without we know where the price will go.

Indeed! The true success can be seen after listing the coin or token and trading at least couple of months. Because the first wave in trading, that's not the real value yet of the coin. In some way, the exchange is a factor but later on, it will be the project itself. Without rock solid foundation and purpose, the project will fall eventually. So it is not only the exchange that you should assess for but also the possible use case in the market.

This is absolutely bad but you can't conclude till you see the final result but I would always say everyone should be careful and make thorough research before doing anything online. Once you buy you can't be refunded and it takes God's grace. The promises is actually questionable. Let's be always careful to avoid heartbreak.
