I bought 0.01 BTC when its price is $1000 on January 2017 to do satoshi fishing on Bitsler, a gambling site. I've made it into 0.03 BTC and I brought a new mobile phone with that earning. After that I lose interest and forget about BTC then after several months it had become $2700. OMG! But no regrets since I've earned enough by that time.

Traders using cryptocurrencies on pay tax when they use fiat money (dollar) as payment. If they use bitcoin then NO, there is no income tax. So I think using altcoin as payments could get rid of those tax that are too unfair in some countries and maybe cryptocurrencies could do some little help. I also think that it is a reason why government like to put tax on crypto because they think that crypto-users are evading tax in a legal way but once there is tax then it is illegal.

LOL. If there is some big altcoin that could overtake Bitcoin is Ripple. Ethereum today is trash and some holders are still participating FUDs. Ripple did it almost once then it is not impossible for it to surpass again. Maybe reaching its peak price again would make it superior than Bitcoin if the Bitcoin's price is still stable on $6000. But still hoping for Ethereum to recover at least $800 would be better.

Yes, I do buy from rank 100+ because some of them are hidden gems that could bring me profit anytime. With the right research and instincts you could find the best altcoin that could really benefit you. There are some risk but if you really have knowledge on what you do you can get rid of those bad altcoins. Luck is no excuse, so there is a reason that might let you choose an altcoin and bloom after several days, weeks, or months. RISKY YOU SAY? BUT IT IS WORTH THE WAIT!

I agree that there was a great difference on the ICOs from the previous and the current year. Since the rise of ethereum's value, many ICOs only allocated a fewer amount of tokens due to the price increase. But as the time goes by the ethereum's value collapsed and it also affects the total value of the crowdfunded money. The mose affected by the ethereum's collapsed were the ICOs that were started at January of 2018 in which the ethereum's price is on its peak. This is one reason why many ICOs on 2018 are mostly failures.

ICOs this year are the worst I've seen. Why is it? Maybe because the unexpected collapse of Ethereum while the ICOs are crowndfunding with a low number of Ethereum due to its high value that time and after months passing by the Ethereum collapse making the ICO tokens equivalent in fiat become low. This time for the ICOs started running while Ethereum is low would have a chance to have a success if ever Ethereum comes back to its peak price and still growing.

If fork occurs, new kind of altcoin will born but not adding to the current supply of the bitcoin. And if you say that there is unlimited supply then the price of a single bitcoin would be very low even considering the number of forks that will do on the future.

Maybe on the 4th quarter of the year the cryptocurrency will recover as last year's 4th quarter is where all cryptocurrencies had bloom. This is just only a speculation, we can't predict what would really happen to this year's market but we hope that it could recover since I had some holdings that become trash after ethereum's downfall.

I will find those altcoin that has potential to grow after the market had crashed. This would give me greater profit that those who bought before market crash once the market rise again. This is normal for some traders. If you loss some profit there are still opportunity on other coins. Just take advantage on it and once you've mastered the art of trading then it would really benefit you.

You can still apply for bounty campaign. Social media campaigns accept newbies because what matters is the followers and friends, etc. on what social media platform they've apply to. Translations are sometimes preferred for higher ranks since they could assume that newbies have no experience on crypto. Signature is a type where it is rare to hire newbies on it because most are just spamming for the sake of money and it could tarnish the reputation of the bounty manager for tolerating spammers on the forum.

Some ICOs are scam and facebook is just finding way preventing their respective users from being scammed. If only ICOs are being responsible on their crowdfunding then facebook won't ban ICO ads which lead to fraud and other illegal activities. Facebook have lots of ads but they're legitimate unlike ICOs that are still ambiguous  for those people who see it while scrolling on their own news feed or in the side part of the desktop site.

We can't blame those since they are doing their job well to earn free tokens which goes to free money once after being exchange. It is also bad in a way that they are being insensitive to the real investors (those who really spend money) by just dumping coins that others work for. Please remember that without real investors, the bounty will be nothing so mutual respect is needed for the both sides between real investors and bounty hunters.

Yes. If you are on the right track on investing on a good altcoin. But when you've got to wrong altcoin then it is the fastest way to lose money. I've been 6 months taking advantage on the altcoin's price and only 3 altcoins are worth the invest the other coins I've invest become total shit and I lose money. This thread shows that crypto is the fastest way earning money if you're good and knowledgeable on it.

It only takes a few hours for Ethereum to strike back at top 2 position on coinmarketcap. I like how ripple become a hit after almost beating bitcoin on the highest market cap but still it is a centralized cryptocurrencies so I won't spend my time buying it at the first place. And also to appreciate other cryptos there are more cryptos that are worth holding while being decentralized. The only thing why it surpass Ethereum because it suffers from price drop and once it recovers it would take time for Ripple to surpass it again.

Crypto has a 50/50 risk and reward. To prevent the risk you must willing to well observe the crypto community on where you should invest your money. It might be boring at first but when you get your first payout it would be a good experience. By continuing those rewards it boosts your confidence on knowing crypto well. There will be dangers but if you handle the situation well then you could overcome it.

I consider it as a job but it is not what you expect it as a main source of income. It is only additional income for me since some bounty campaigns of an ICO are scam or having delay on distributing rewards which makes the current bounty hunters upset. Some give high and sometimes low rewards but the case is you didn't invest to get money on it and all you did is to do some task that only takes a couple of your time so I guess it is worth a try.

If most people participate on FUD, panic selling, or dumping, or many else that makes the value of a crypto down. Unlike fiat investments, crypto investments are often unpredictable when it comes to its price. Some are thinking that a specific coin is dead maybe because the team seems inactive for a week or a month. This makes people to speculate that the coin is dead and starting doing things that makes the value go down (dumping) since they think there is no future for the coin they hold. The holder and the team are both human so if they failed to do their part it could really affect not just a specific market of their coin but also it could affect the whole. At this time, the bitcoin is the most important coin that could greatly affect almost of the coins. To prevent dumping there are supporters that are needed to maintain its value and prevent from collapsing. The price of it is still high and no need to worry about dumping it since it would greatly make a comeback for a couple of months.

KYC is sometimes needed when someone will put their own money on the ICO. Some earn their money in dirty ways and they do participate ICOs to make the stolen money be unnoticeable are it is exchange to tokens. The ICO is only aware if there are some people just taking advantage on it to continue doing illegal things and evade the authority easily because being on crypto makes you anonymous that makes bad people hidden.

Cryptocurrency are safe but the price of those aren't stable yet. Example is Ethereum, many people have deposited their fiat to Ethererum but after several months it collapsed. Many people being upset after those unfortunate events. Making the trust on cryptocurrency declined. Better store on banks until crypto recovers.

As of today airdrops are shit and no longer worth the wait of holding it, just a waste of space in your electronic wallet. The bounties are still useful as long you are on the right track finding a high paying bounty. If it was 2017 both are really useful, but this year airdrops have been awful and only a waste of time. I hope the old airdrop process will return and not following a referral systems that made the airdrop really sucks.
