Though bounty hunters didn't hold it all in term of project promotions, however, the impact of hunters cannot be overemphasized.  This is the largest community of crypto.  Promotion on social media and other platforms go a long way in bringing both crypto and non-crypto spheres investors.  Hunters can promote a particular project as well as bring it down.

I have not really participated in bounties as such this year, probably because of a lot of discouragement I encountered, especially unpaid rewards.  I participated in Bynamic social media bounty recently, and it make sense to some extent.  If someone is able to find a good project, I think SIG campaign would be the most appropriate.

Oh my goodness!!!! How could they have gathered for such a conference? Probably many positive cases have not been reported in France then. We just have to wish them a very quick recovery.

This is welcome development.  It comes at the right time when most countries that were seriously hit were in shortage of medical equipment.  This donation will go a long way in saving more lives from this pandemic.  I wish the donation also reach African countries, just like Halibaba foundation did recently.

Most airdrops nowadays are nothing but time and other resources waster.  Many telegram bots are now been created by scammers all in the name of airdrops. Some of them use this method to populate their telegram group in order to use it for another purpose. I have participated in more than 15 airdrops this year, I've only realised about $20.  Good airdrops are almost impossible nowadays.

You're very correct.  I have similar experience too. I got some altcoins via airdrops and bounties, I decided to hold them for a while probably because of the hype they got then. Unfortunately, I was away for a while from their telegram communities.  Behold when I later checked the update about the coins, it was so pathetic. Some that listed at $0.01 have become $0.00001. I just have them as decorative coins in my wallet now.  It will do us a lot of good checking update if possible on a daily basis should you want to hold any altcoin.

Yeah exactly, I agreed with you.  Irrespective of any disease, rising and fallen (instability) has always been one of the characteristics of crypto markets. I am not completely ruling out the possible impact of the pandemic on the market. But we need to understand that, it is not the major determinant.  Crypto markets has a lot of forces controlling it besides any disease outbreak.

One project I was part of last year that I cannot forget was Smartfund. It was a very good project that a lot of people benefited from, both hunters and investors.  Although, it's price is not as good now as it was then, but I can't forget the benefits I got from that project. I even used part of the dollars I made there for reinvestment.

Honestly crypto market is not reliable at all. If someone is not a smart investor, it can give someone a high BP.  I have invested a little in cryptos, just exactly the time when I need returns from my investment, the market would be red.  For someone like me who is not a smart investor, in time lime this when global economy is facing chaos I prefer putting 80% of my assets into landed properties.

Nothing is impossible actually. However, to find such high paying projects will be kinda difficult.  The issue is that, no matter how grounded or novel your project idea might be now, 99% of investors are not ready to invest in it, because of horrible experience they might have had from the scammers.  That's why many projects are not successful even if the idea is good, and if they are not successful then no matter the promise of high pay they might have made to the hunters, it won't work at the end of the day.

Exactly, I know definitely that scammers will want to capitalize on this horrible situation.  Those that created thread in promoting such donations have been warned expressly to desist from it. All the claims that some countries, especially Italy want to use crypto donations to fight the pandemic are all false.  I think we are wise and careful enough not to fall into such cheap scams.

Honestly the best thing a logical person can do now is just to  hold, especially good coins.  In this period of market downturn, holding and probably buying more if you have the asset is a good way to go.  Thereafter let's look for better days to come.

It is a very good observation, because many hunters including me have had one horrible experience or the other in term of failure to receive bounty rewards after many weeks of promotion.  The point is that, even if this is implemented, it may even increase scam projects more. Because some will just go and develop fake coins and be rest assured that it will be promoted since it's just to deposit part of it as a proof.  At the end of the day, everything will be worthless after much stress.  One of the existing best solutions is to do a thorough findings about any project we want to join so that it won't be an exercise in futility.

Your observation or opinion is totally wrong man, if crypto will die it would have been long time ago.  There is no exchange market that follows a straight line curve, it's a sinusoidal one - rising and falling. More people will continue to see the usefulness of cryptos thereby increasing it's adoption. As a result of this, I believe it cannot die.

This must be far from being the truth.  Topics like this issue of donation are just so much in altcoin sections now.  People need to stop these spamming and scamming stuffs.  If you donate any coin/token to anybody all in the name of coronavirus victims, you're just on your own.

I think the past horrible experiences of most investors actually responsible for this.  What do we say of someone that invested in a particular coin at 0.1$. He woke up at the middle of one night and saw the price decreasing seriously up to $0.001 before he decided to sell that coin right in that night. A week later, everything has gone down and developers took to their heel.
So it is true that are newbies and impatient investors, however it was bad experience that have turned some to be.

Definitely the project cannot be a successful one.  So they want to gather some money all in the name of donating to the victims and run away.  If they want to do charity work, they should go ahead and do it and not through one nonsense token sale.
I have seen some related topics too a couple of weeks ago, I just wave it off. I think we can also help by stop replying to such baseless topics.

In my opinion, the rational thing to do in this depressed market situation is to hold and sell when the market improves.  Holding could also probably help in the quick improvement of the market.

There were just numerous ways outside there device by scammers. 

Just at the beginning of this week, a guy messaged me on telegram and asked me if I have ETH, BTC or LTC. He said he has been a part of deciding team members of one online gaming platform, that he can make a me winner if I  place a bet and that 50% of my win will be transferred to him. I said no problem, then he sent me the link of the site and asked me to open an account. 

After I opened account, he asked me to send him my username which I did. Then I said what's the next step.  He said I need to bet a minimum of $100 to win $2000-5000. So I teased him further on how to place a bet, then he told me he is going to generate wallet address for me based on which coin out of the three I earlier mentioned. He said that's where I will deposit the bet.

I don't need anyone to tell me that's a scammer, but a greedy person would have jumped into that offer. Let's don't be in a rush to participate in any thing, at least a few findings can probably save us a lot of regrets.

Extra patience is just needed at this time around. You can hold what you have especially stable coins or invest more in good coins.  I was blaming myself that why didn't I buy a few ETH or btc when they were $97 and $3000 and sell when they reach $290 and $10000 respectively recently. To me, I'm not panic at all, volatility is one of the strong attributes of crypto market. It's going to pick up again. I just see this time as an opportunity to invest more in stable coins. Everything is all about risk.
