The expectations are high with regards to a bull run in December. I am however not confident about a bull run as December is nearby, taken into consideration the market have been stagnant for a while. Personally I wish there would be a bull run.

ICO generally are investment that give back great return on investment over time. It is quite sad that scammers have however taken that chance to scam people of their hard earned money by creating unrealistic project hereby creating a bad impression in the mind of the majority.

Addressing bounty hunters as beggars is not acceptable.  With respect to the fact that we work to earn the token, we aren't given the tokens on  a platter of gold. Promoting an ICO for 14weeks requires a lot of work.  Bounty hunters deserve to be rewarded, and treated well and not as beggars.

Most importantly, to protect your MEW, be careful of the site you get on as they are a lot of phishing website out there
My wallet once got hacked, the experience was a bad one. I had unknowingly gotten on one the phishing  site and mistakenly dropped a vital information.

In most cases of ICO scam, the scammers behind this inhuman act of scamming people don't get caught. The bounty manager and team can be held accountable, since prevention is better than cure. For that reason, it therefore necessary you do a proper research on the project before you invest. 

Most people want to get rich overnight and such they tend to invest more than they are willing to loose.  Not putting in mind that there are a lot of scam project being launched, on the long run they tend to loose all they have and they fall victim.  It is important to know that success is not overnight and requires nights and  years of hard work.

They are a lot of fake ICO out there.  It quite unfortunate some of the   fake ICO cant be distinguished from the real ICO as they are not instrument to detect that, so it quite necessary you read properly through the white paper and also do additional research on the project before you invest in it.

Some ICO project are outrightly Scam while other ICO  failure can be attributed to poor team management  on their path and some are not really ready for an ICO before they did the ICO, because of the lack of a product or working prototype.

First thing I would  advise is check out the bounty manager, if he looks familiar and have a proven track record with previous bounty program he has handled. Also ensure the project is realistic and real. I hear a lot of people complaining about participating in bounties without getting rewarded.

It is quite obvious to every one the value of bitcoin has dropped drastically after reaching it peak of $20,000. It however dropped to $6000+ later in the year which no one saw coming.  As 2019 approaches do you think it will follow the similar pattern again this year?.

Firstly, I won't invest more than I am willing to loose. After doing my personal research on the project and I feel it is promising, I can invest about 3ETH. However if after analysis, I don't see the project deem fit of investment, I pull back right away.

The way MEW  operate is quite different from other wallets, with regards to the fact that you can access your account with your private key and unfortunately once you loose your private key, you won't be able to access your account again. Look through your computer carefully, if it is saved on it.

It quite sad the crypto market is down, but in the mean time the market condition right now is favourable for investing, instead of complaining about the market condition, it is advisable to take advantage and invest not more than you are willing to loose.  Hopefully soon the crypto market will be a bull run.

Of course, about 90% of ICO are scam. They hype the project and in a way they get people to invest in the project. It quite unfortunate that after the ICO, the project get dumped.

Apart from the fact that most project are scam and so unreal, the very few ones that are good enough were affected by the market condition which is beyond their  control.

It is quite bad that 90% of ICO have turned out be scam. Nowadays it is seen as an easy way to make way from people by bringing up a crappy project. Only a very few ICO are legit.

In your opinon do you think cryptocurrency have to become somewhat like a fiat currency to compete with traditional financial system?

Would like to hear your opinon.

These scammers are everywhere. I receive mail from them, disguising as Investors and miners sending links to phishing sites. I once fell victim, after my bitter experience. I take extreme precautions while surfing the internet.

They create their coin to promote their project, get a huge people to buy them, list on exchanges. To them it is an easy way to make money. Most of this coins are copied from each other.

As far as I am concerned, Investing in ICO is still very profitable
 In between you have to find a good project to invest in. Do an extensive research on the project you want to invest in, as they are a lot of crappy project out there.
