This is very common with ICO and rewards. So many times it takes months and months to distribute awards after end of the ICO. Either company starts asking for KYC checks, or the company chooses not to reward their participants at all. I would suggest to have some patience as there have been times when I waited for 8-9 months for bounty award but it arrived eventually. So don't lose hope.

Your concerns are legit. These days so many scam ICOs have looted money from people that I do not recommend investing in ICOs to any person at all. Some of my friends had invested in Ubonium and the people ran away with people's money. Same happened with BitBlissCoin too.
So it is better to invest in those coins which are already listed. By doing that you are ensuring that the company won't run away with your money. You can consider investing in REMME as now is the best time to invest in it.

If you are looking for short term profits then you are better away from the famous coins since their price doesn't fluctuate as much as the price of the other alternate crytpos. I also follow the same strategy by selling my altcoins on a very short term basis. What I have realized is that one day or the other a specific coin is going to increase in value so it is better to hold it till it rises instead of selling it during dip.

Choose the bounty which will pay you maximum. Also ensure that project should be good and people should be willing to invest in it.
For example there is a project called remme which deals with authentication issues and has good long term prospects. Because of signature campaign their price has been increasing.
So choose a similar project.

That's exactly the strategy that the country India is following. I read in need that the government was coming up with its own coin called lakshmi coin as they want to cut down on expenses of the printing notes and circulating fiat money in hard form.
This was said during the time bitcoin exchanges in the country were disabled.
It is obviously a welcoming news but they shouldn't ban crypto exchanges also.

Ripple has attained a prestigious position and seems to be the coin of the year due its popularity. It has upgraded itself in terms of technology and sustainability. Its been accepted in some banks for transactions which is a great news and no doubt this crypto is going to change the scenario in crypto market in terms of its position and the recent status. Its evolution contributes to its success and the acceptance by the banks attributes to its revered status.

True!! Helps in raising funds and earning money by investing little. But one has to be vigil, well informed and alert , few ICO's can be scam and reduce your money into rubbish. But right investment in right project will get you earn decent and the growth potential is high. Keep yourself well educated and your senses intune with your investments, ICO's will help you in your financial journey.

Not exactly as tough. Every time the market gets really red, you can consider investing in it. That's called buying low and every time you get a specific amount of return on your investment, you should sell it instead of getting greedy.
That's why people get so disappointed here. People get very greedy once they start making returns and start expecting more and more. No one in this world is ever satisfied. People always want more.
I consider 20%-30% in a month a good return and every time my investments reach as much, I cash out.

If you want the maximum returns on your investment then the wisest thing is to invest in a coin that has not too high market cap but has a lot of potential to grow in future. This is how people making 2x 3x over their investments.
Go to coinmarketcap and see the coins that have rank around 500-600 and then see which project has maximum potential.
These coins will give more returns. For example Remme.

Out of 100+ airdrop campaigns that I participated in, hardly did I ever get more than 20$ from any airdrop. Most of the coins were shitty and had no monetary value.
This is the reason why I have stopped enrolling myself in airdrop campaigns and I concentrate on bounties.
I do not recommend airdrop campaigns to anyone anymore unless it is being conducted by a very good manager.

Future isn't exactly cryptocurrency but blockchain technology. People have started believing in blockchain technology but no one really believes in cryptos as of now because they are subject to high market risks and volatility which not everyone is comfortable with.
Maybe in next two three years we will see more adoption of cryptos once prices begin to settle down.

So the first and foremost thing for you is to keep your private keys safe. Look at private keys as your wallet. If you lose them, then there is not a single person on this planet that can help you recover that. People have lost hundreds of bitcoins because they lost their wallet keys.
Second, do not share it with anyone ever. Not even with your friends. If you do that, they will be able to access your wallet from anywhere in the world.

Yes the market is slowly and gradually recovering from the deep dip it had gone into. It took it some time but it has been able to break that big barrier.
But I also feel that market will crash again in the coming weeks because it is showing such bearish trend. I am waiting for bull market to come back again. That is the time when people actually make money.

You should be looking at coins which are listed on a lot of exchanges and also the local exchanges of your country.
Then, you should look at coins which are ranked among the top 500 in the world. Investing in coins which do not have a huge daily volume is that you are investing in their future and when eventually market picks up its pace, you will reap the benefits of it.
Remme is one such coin which currently has around 80 Btc daily volume but will pick up pace in the coming weeks.

The longer the bounty, the more these guys are able to raise and hence better the outcome. For example there have been campaigns which have run for 6 months and have been able to raise a significant amount of money.
On the other hand there are a few campaigns which are able to raise good amount in four five weeks only. For example ConnectJob was one such campaign which only ran for 4 weeks and was able to raise a lot of money.

Suppose a coin raised 10mn dollars and out of that, 1mn was allocated to bounty hunters. Now the day the coin gets listed on any exchange, those bounty hunters will immediately sell those coins and hence causing a dump. By doing that, the price of the token would fall and investors would feel the heat and might panic. Hence, it is observed that every time a coin is listed on any exchange, the price takes a big hit and takes a while to recover.

For me it is more of a hobby. One cannot fully rely on bounty hunting to make money and if you are actually doing it then you are probably playing with your life. In my free time I respond to people's queries. Apart from that there is not much I do. I concentrate full time on my corporate job. But, I ensure that I read every news article related to cryptocurrency so that I can make quality posts about them later.

Yes I follow icobench mostly because their rating team is probably the best I have come across. I trust their ratings blindly. But, given the state of market, I feel it makes no point to invest in ICOs. I would rather invest in coins with low market cap that have been recently listed on exchanges instead of investing in ICOs. For example, Remme was recently listed on multiple exchanges and I would choose it over ICOs.

BTC is getting it hard to cross $8k point because of the heavy manipulation being done by some big hodlers which usually include whales and exchanges. They have data about all the selling and buying points and hence, trade according to that which spoils market. This heavy manipulation isn't letting new investors enter the market which is another problem. Also, the bot trading isn't good for the market which is being done heavily.

It is operating since 2013 and the owners claim it to be the most advanced bitcoin exchange, but obviously the views of public differ with it. I transacted using them twice and the experience was far from perfect. The funds took a lot of time to show up and the time too was way more than it takes on Binance. Hence, i wouldn't recommend them. But, if the coin is only listed on HitBTC, then there's nothing much you can do. Will have to use it.
