Both of these assets are only forks of the real thing and they are both subject to volatility due to all of the controversy surrounding recent events not to mention the technical problems faced by Bitcoin SV (BSV) in terms of blockchain stability so if you're looking for a lower risk option it would be unwise to invest in either of these until all of these issues have been resolved

If you're acquiring a token for use with a decentralized app it's likely to be classified as a utility token and therefore won't be illegal to use for that application, however, if you're investing into startups that offer tokens which have the properties of a security e.g. they offer a dividend then you may need to be an accredited investor especially if you're from the US and such offerings are banned in certain other countries so make sure you do some research before you make an investment

Lots of members in this forum will shill this coin or that token, but always make sure you analyze how the market is performing overall for an indication of when it is an ideal time to buy, and also observe what trends are emerging, such as the recent surge in popularity for IEOs and the tokens that fuel these launchpads, and the latest protocols and privacy technologies, and make sure you don't invest into anything that may be classified as a security in future

Currently the market is widely considered to be recovering from bear conditions and is beginning to enter alt-season and there's much anticipation for the arrival of crypto spring later this year or not long after but of course its impossible to predict which way the market will go, however if you observe the increase in positive developments regarding regulation and adoption along with slow yet steadily growing interest from institutions and investment funds world wide you might find some basis for further improvements

If you were unfortunate enough to invest during the peak of the last bubble and your portfolio has depreciated in value significantly but you haven't liquidated yet, then don't despair as the market will soon pick up again and you'll likely begin to recoup some of the losses, but make sure you choose good quality assets instead of anything too high risk with a view towards a longer term strategy in order to fully capitalize on the benefits of the next boom that will be driven by mainstream adoption

It's possible that launchpads such as this and others like it will begin to attract some of the market share that Ethereum has been enjoying in the crowdsale sector, but there may be potential issues in future to do with regulatory clarity regarding these new offerings that investors should be aware of however, it still has a well established presence in the market and has maintained its prominence regardless of the ICO market decline so it's not likely to be surpassed by anything that is this over hyped

Stake based cryptocurrencies are a great way to earn passive income when the market is sluggish or you're waiting for other investments in your portfolio to appreciate to their optimum value, but it's not a new concept and its best to avoid any assets that have low liquidity or are lesser well known especially any new masternode coins don't have a proven track record development wise as these may not be viable long term investments

Waves is a solid platform and is currently developing one of the fastest and most secure smart contract products available which may be useful for digital assets, but lately the focus has been on other networks that have enjoyed most of the limelight namely Tron and EOS but if the hype wears off there should be room for more interest in what other competing technologies have to offer and this may result in an increase in value later this year if market conditions are supportive

Historically the halving of block rewards does have a positive impact on the value of an asset, especially if it's one of the three major minable assets which are BTC, LTC and BCH, and there's no reasons why each one shouldn't experience a moderate appreciation in the lead up to this event provided market conditions are favorable and there's enough interest from both retail and institutional investors

This is very good advice and it applies to all types of investments in the cryptocurrency space, however ICOs aren't as popular as they were last year or the year before that and now the focus is on IEOs and the soon to be gaining in popularity STOs (Security Token Offerings) which will require token issuers to apply for registration with financial authorities such as the SEC before launching their offering which will remove some of the risks involved in investing

Generally airdrops are not more profitable than social media tasks and some bounty campaigns have higher standards than others which can increase the rewards you can earn if you can create good quality content to submit, however some projects only choose to market their token via an airdrop that involves basic and easy to accomplish tasks instead of conducting a more professional campaign so just choose whichever option suits your preferences

Cryptocurrencies can be viewed negatively due to the many issues involved that include difficulty of use, scams, ponzi schemes, vaporware, and volatility, however, these types of technologies are still in their early stages of evolution and provided you don't take on board too much risk when you invest and focus on quality innovations you are unlikely to be dissatisfied with your endeavors

Facebook, JP Morgan, Telegram, and now Samsung and Nike? If major brands such as these are beginning to adopt these types of technologies and create trendy new use cases for them it won't be long before they hit the mainstream and become more widely used in everyday life which will be a big plus for the entire cryptocurrency industry

Unfortunately there is not much you can do from a legal perspective if a project doesn't pay its bounty campaign participants besides trying to get in contact with the project team leaders directly if no explanation is offered or if that fails then you can open a scam accusation in the relevant section of this forum, but if this is a major concern then simply check whether or not the funds have been escrowed in advance before you participate

Poloniex used to be one of the market leaders along with Bittrex before the newer generation of exchanges arrived, which have taken out the top positions lately due to unusually high trade volumes that some experts have claimed is fake or "wash trading", however, it still remains one of the longest standing and most reputable startups in operation since before the last bubble and it does offer good options for margin trading

Not before now but a quick search on Google provided some information about this project, although it didn't appear to have anything spectacular about it, however, in future it would be more helpful to the community if you could provide some details about this project in the OP such as the official website, social media channels, telegram chat group etc. or even a link to the official announcement thread if there is one so it's less ambiguous

Even though this new type of crowd funding solution is quickly gaining in popularity and generating a lot of hype in the process, it's highly advisable to do your own due diligence and not rely on the exchange that is hosting the IEO to do it for you because not all offerings will be of a high quality standard or are likely to provide any returns on your investment so make sure you take these factors into consideration as well as market conditions before you invest

Binance Coin (BNB) has performed well, but it is by no means comparable to Bitcoin which has a much larger rate of adoption, however it is one of the leading alternatives assets in terms of recent gains and there are plenty of other exchanges that have a similar business strategy that may also benefit from its success in becoming one of the most popular destinations for IEOs thus far so make sure you evaluate those also if you're interested in these types of investments

Lots of crowdsales that held bounty campaigns from the middle of last year were unsuccessful in raising the minimum required funding and also many that did still haven't yet paid out a reward to participants or have succeeded in getting listed on a secondary market, but there are alternative campaigns which can provide decent rewards on a regular basis if you look in the right places so it's not all gloomy

Binance may currently be the market leader, but there is plenty of competition in the exchange and the launchpad space so there's unlikely to be an outright monopoly and some of this startups initiatives are helping develop the market further, however, the high entry requirement for IEOs may be prohibitive for ordinary investors and attract only larger "whales" which is unhealthy for the crowdfunding industry regardless of the quality of the offering
