Obviously this ins't easy at all, otherwise, these gambling site are already bankrupt now.
That's why a lot of people have tried and challenge themselves because if you are successful in gambling, this will become a lucrative job of making money.

When I was new, I also start my journey here, I was ambitious when I was new but later realize it's not easy as I think.

People are not looking at the long term success of IEO, they want a short term success, I mean very short because the moment it's trading live in an exchange, they are already expecting of a profit and getting out so they can again invest in new IEO.

If we are looking for long term success in IEO, we can also include those projects that are still existing but has not grown yet since the hype has transferred in IEO and bitcoin continues to increase its dominance in the market.

Yeah,  read this article also and wade still have that passion in him because although he has already retired, he still bond with NBA friends playing basketball. I also read one article about JR Smith practicing with Lebron, I was thinking these two were not friends anymore after Smith did in the last NBA finals against the Warriors, LOL... but to be honest, I think JR smith deserves a second chance, if he will be able to play wit the Lakers, it should be nice because he is a deadly shooter especially when in rhythm.

It suppose to help the traders because that's the purpose of KYC, but when the exchange is irresponsible, it will not be able to serve the purpose.
Once the exchange requires for the KYC, this means they are required also by the government to impose the same, and when they mess up with the data, the government are looking into this as an offense and they will have to be dealt accordingly based on the rules and regulations impose to them as well.

We don't need to worry, the government are punishing those corrupt exchanges, even how big they are currently.

Not all of them being transparent looks trusted, some of the scammers use others identity which it looks open and traceable even we search it on the internet. We should not be confident of this transparency, we need to spend more time searching and do have time to reviews feedbacks.

Remember that we are in the internet era, we can make some things impossible to possible, do the editing job and copy others personal details. This it has that we can't guarantee, yet we need also to give some trust with them and that is why crypto investment is a risky thing.

These big and known companies are helping crypto but yet to come that they are also creating their won currency just like what Facebook did Libra coin.
The massive and continuous growth of Bitcoin users will lead for other many(some) countries who banned now to show some interest with crypto.

Of course, we need to understand also why they never accept it or banned in their place.
Not necessarily we condemn them cause they are doing also what is right and what might give betterness to their citizens for some instances that some people use crypto for fraud and scam which might be a reason why they never open for Bitcoin.

Thanks for making an effort, actually there's a lot of members here who makes a spreadsheet to summarize the list of bounty campaigns and I hope to see everyone continues to update the sheet even if the market is not attractive anymore.

They say bounty hunting is not profitable anymore, but with this list, I think it would help to verify that statement.
In the list, there are new unfamiliar bounty managers, I can say that because I only recognize Arteezy.rtx which was an old manager even during the time of the popularity of ICO.

There is a big competition in the altcoins market, there is a increasing number of altcoins that is happening so that will make the old coins obsolete if they are not trading in exchanges with great volume.

I have a lot of altcoins in my wallet that I believe has a little chance to recover, but I have not choice but to continue holding it because it's impossible to sell it when the price is almost worthless, and not only that, the volume is gone. Everyone is hoping that the 2017 year like will come back, so they can sell all their shit coins or correct the wrong decision making last bull run.

People love USA no matter who their current roster are, it's just that they are so popular because they have been dominating the worldwide sports competition particularly this FIBA would cup.

Now they are playing against the greece and it looks like USA soon will have a double digit lead.
People think that Greece can compete because they have the MVP in them, but let's see how this will end up.

I'm monitoring the score now here, https://www.flashscore.com/team/greece/ba2gXuFg/

I'm hearing a lot of prediction last year that ETH will rise again in 2019, but it seems it's not happening this year yet, so another prediction for next year for  those who are bullish on ETH. That's normal I guess, we are here and our only game is the prediction game, if ETH won't be able to bounce back this year, there's always next year and even the following years to make it happen, as long as ETH is here to stay and will not go an exit scam, we always have a chance to enjoy its good price in the future again.

I'm pretty sure everyone already miss the $1,000 of ETH, but we have understand it's not everyday is a successful day for ETH, sometimes we are going in many adversities and we need to stay calm and continue putting our trust with ETH.

FUDs are everywhere but it will not move or shake us if we are updated of the development inside.

The only reason why they have multiple rounds is to raise more funds or to raise at least the soft cap when the amount raise is not enough.
But, I am not seeing success from the ICO this year anymore, that's looking at the majority of the projects and it seems like time has come already that those who wants to run a crowdsale has to already ensure they invested a funds on their own first, which I think would make the project more reliable especially if we can verity the authenticity of the amount invested.

We will see if shit coins has no chance anymore when the market will recover and in the bullish state again.

Right now, I agree with your suggestion to focus on bitcoin and some solid altcoins, but I might consider some low marketcap coins which I think has a little potential to grow because they are undervalued and if I'm lucky, I could make a good amount of profit, after all we are just gambling here as we never know what the future will bring.

KYC is only profitable to the exchange if they will sell your data, lol.. that's the worst case scenario and probably exchange that would do that is planning an exit scam.

Profitability has no relation to KYC as it's just a requirement for people to be able to invest and trade in a certain platform, and normally, those company who requires KYC are companies that are regulated under the control of the government, and that's something we need to verify first before submitting for KYC as that's an important information that we cannot just give away to untrustworthy company.

I agree with you, it's always the network of people is the reason why bitcoin is successful over any coins in the market.
The competition is only possible in the altcoins market because bitcoin alone can beat the entire altcoins with its dominance of 70%.

People may change their minds and will choose to invest in altcoins but in terms of consistency, it is still bitcoin which is the most heavily invested.
I witness the time when BTC dominance was down to 30% IIRC, and altcoins pump hard at that time, but look where they are now.

We always want to play smart because that gives us a chance to win, but being smart does not mean that we will all win in gambling, sometimes we just need to be smart in order to enjoy gambling and minimize our loses, meaning, we are in control of ourselves and we play with discipline.

Whether we like it or not, most of us will loss in gambling because that's the reality, the winning rate is very low that's what most gambling sites are profitable.

Trading fees is clearly the bread and butter of an exchange and they need more clients in order for them to earn good trading fees as their income.
Selling clients personal information is them destroying their reputation, no exchange would do that.

Look at Binance, they don't sell KYC information from clients but the data were leaked, and because they area a big exchange, everyone knows what happen, they maybe still one of the best exchange now but their negligence will remain forever in the minds of the people, if only there's a big exchange close to Binance quality, people would surely leave this exchange.

There's no answer but only regulation, we need some strict regulation with big punishment so scammers will not live freely in the space.
With regulation, we can restore the reputation of the crypto space and we will be able to attract new investors to put their money for the future of crypto.

It has been proven during in the previous years how attractive crypto is when it comes to investment, but this attraction also result to big scams due to lack of knowledge by the investors and the scammers talking advantage on the immaturity of the investors. We can't force people to educate themselves before investing, but we can make this crypto space a better world with less scams happening.

Great odds for Andy Ruiz and I think that would not change because despite AJ lose in the past fight, people still think he can come back and beat this fat guy, actually I think the looks and built of Andy Ruiz is what people are looking and he got disrespected on that.

The line now is what people's perception on the coming fight, so it's obvious that people believes the Andy Ruiz was just lucky in the last fight.

We can always follow this if we have struggle in making our own financial plans, this is investing and then diversifying after the first investment will succeed, which I think OP's plan is achievable. In every business, we always start with planning and OP just showed his detailed plan, the next phase which he should do effectively is to implement that plan, well, selling at the right time is easy if an investor has the discipline. 

Hopefully this thread is still alive when the time comes so we can all see this as a living evidence of a fulfilled plan.

We are gonna see big success in the future, bitcoin will become mainstream adoption because it's people who have power here, it's transparent and it cannot be monopolize with mainstream adoption happening.

Adoption has already started and the fundamentals are good, like this one great news for this week.

It's just one of the big company that starting to adopt with bitcoin and I believe more and more will adopt and this chain will become bigger and bigger.
I am also hoping that someday, amazon will start adopting bitcoin but I'm sure facebook is already adopting because they have plans to launch their Libra coin which is a coin of their own, it's already tantamount to adopting with bitcoin.
