Yeah, everyone has the same expectations as you, so far we have not been able to guess with certainty what the development of prices BITCOIN and ALTCOIN will be in 2020.
2019 is almost over, and everyone in the crypto community has different story. But by 2020 everyone has the same hope.

The crypto market is very difficult to predict, don't into the world of crypto without having mature knowledge. As a beginner crypto trader who expects to make a lot of profits from trading coins, there are so many traps you must avoid. crypto trading can give you huge income in a very fast time,, but you can also lose everything you have invested in seconds because of the results of its volatility.
So, before trading you must avoid several things:
1. You must learn to understand the conditions of the crypto market.
2. Don't use emotions when you make a decision.
3. Don't believe in any information that you read without your understanding it first.
4. Choose a safe exchange from hacker attacks.
5. Don't invest all your money in one coin.

May add if there are ...

Maybe you are one of lucky people in 2019, because throughout 2019 the bear market is always bleeding, so many coins have decreased in price, and until now they have not been able to change the situation.
I can't talk much in 2019, almost 40% of the coins in my portfolio has decreased in price.

If they are not smart, then they are not scammers, their expertise cannot be doubted, there is always a way for them to convince victims to join the program they are running. Scammers have always been parasites that are very difficult to prevent, because they always have a new way to get the victims into the traps they make.

Never be satisfied with the knowledge you've gained in 2019. Always improve your knowledge about the development of crypto in the future, with the knowledge you have, I hope you can increase your account ranking with quality posts, so you have the right to get merit on the posts that you make.

There is nothing wrong with Altcoin, the bearish situation experienced by the bear market is inevitable. Altcoin can still provide great hope, you name it like ETH, DASH, LTC and XRP, the top Altcoin is still very promising, although now experiencing a price reduction, but it can still provide great hope for traders. I personally prefer saving the old altcoin rather than the new altcoin, I personally prefer saving the old altcoin rather than the new altcoin, the old altcoin has been proven in the market, while the new altcoin still needs adaptation and there is no guarantee that it will last long in the market.

A few more days 2019 will end, everyone who joins crypto must have experienced the bitter-sweetness of memories and experiences experienced in 2019. There are those who get big profits from investment and some even experience huge losses.
2020 will open new hopes, we all hope that the bear market will be even better than 2019.

Various ways will be done to smooth out their mission, fraud in crypto is very difficult to prevent, even now fraud cases continue to occur.  We as bounty hunters are always victims, after we promote their projects, there are always new rules they make, from KYC verification to allocation cuts.

That is a marketing strategy, they will do everything they can to attract interested people to join the project that they are running. When the ICO or IEO is in progress, they set the price of the token at a very promising price, but the fact when tokens start being distributed, in fact there is no price at all. Although it can still be sold, the price is very much different when ICO or IEO is still ongoing.

The purpose of investing is looking for profit, we must be able to take advantage of the situation at every opportunity, New coins and old coins don't matter to me, while still being able to profit, I will continue to invest without thinking about the background of each coin.
Indeed, investing in crypto is always a risk, but we need skills in researching each project that we will invest in.

When the bear market shows uncertainty, Stablecoin is a solution to secure crypto assets. storing assets in cryptocurrency is very risky, but Stablecoin can make traders and investors a little calm with bearish conditions that make them suffer losses. But some traders are more interested in pulling their assets into fiat money to secure from all risks that will be faced.

It's very difficult to overcome scammers in the cryptocurrency world, this kind of thing will continue to happen and the victims will increase, because cryptocurrency is not a real product, that is why do investing in crypto is not safe.
There is nothing we can do but avoid and be careful before investing, knowledge is very important for us to avoid the trap of fraudsters.

Certainly very useful to follow their Twitter account, because we can continue to update the latest information about Bitcoin and Altcoin from their posts. Twitter is a very good media to get information about crypto developments, and we can also share information with other members. Because the official Twitter account about crypto is very many people who follow it.

So many people are trapped while investing in the world of cryptocurrency, some even lost their cars because they were affected by large prizes offered. Fraud cases are very difficult to prevent in cryptocurrency, We must learn from experience so as not to get caught up in a scam project.
I totally agree with your suggestion, we better choose the top coin in coinmarketcap which has been proven safe and comfortable.

Because there are indications of fraud like this, we are required to be super careful when investing.  Cryptocurrency is one of the most coveted targets by the fraudsters to collect money the easy way.  So before deciding to invest we must first research so as not to fall into the trap of con artists.

You are not the only person who is a victim, there are many others who are victims of fraud in the crypto world, and even people who have long known the nature and character of cryptocurrency can be scammed victims. Cases of fraud like these are very difficult to avoid, because there are so many projects that carry a good concept and convince investors, but in the end fraud. The crypto world is a commodity that is very difficult to predict so it is very risky, so invest in quality, not with quantity.

This topic provides motivation for beginners who just joined the bitcointalk forum, and made a very extraordinary effort in increasing account rankings from Newbie to Senior Member.
From Newbie To Senior Member & Now OTW to Hero Member
From this post we can learn, the achievement system applied by the forum, does not become a barrier to increase the rank of bitcointalk who is still a newbie.
And in my opinion this topic is very feasible to get merit.

For me, ETH is the best Altcoin to buy, especially now the price is very affordable. ETH always provides good wishes for every trader, a reliable trader will always monitor the movement of ETH every day, because they know when the right time to buy and resell when it has made a profit.
As an alternative, BNB can be considered, because the BNB exchange volume is very large in the market.

Most victims in fraud cases like the OP mention is beginners who just joined crypto, because they are very easily tempted by large bonuses offered without thinking about the risks that will face.
They think crypto is an easy place to get money, without being equipped with knowledge and experience, do not be tempted by the big bonuses offered, because big profits will not be obtained the easy way.

The hacking case that happened on the Nuls Blockchain Platform is not the first to occur in the world of cryptocurrency, previously the same case also happened with Bitfinex, Binance, and CCEX. This kind of thing is very difficult to avoid, because the majority of hackers will continue to carry out their evil intentions to carry out its mission. And to reduce hacking again, the platform must immediately improve security so that the same case does not re-occur.
