Knowing when to hold and when to let go is a great trading act one needs to learn about. There are many factors that can influence the decision and whatever comes out of it, one should be able to live with it. Best is to know when to cut loses. There is nothing wrong in holding. There will be disaster assuming everyone decides to sell and no one to hold. If this happens, consider the coin/token already dead.

Nothing else can be done to recover your asset. Once it is gone in that manner, you can't recover it. No advice here will make any difference. Just pick those advices and be more careful henceforth. I'm really sorry for the incident, it can be so unpleasant.
Have a separate wallet for trading.
If you won't be trading for a while, move your assets to your personal wallet and don't leave them on exchange, either CEX or DEX.
Avoid phising sites and stay away from new exchanges until proven to be genuine.
Private key should be private.

I can name a number of Bounty managers and projects CEO that changed bounty rules in the middle or towards the end of the Bounty Campaign. All they said afterwards was that it was stated in the general guidelines that they had the right to make changes to the rules at anytime. This is what most always hold on to and subsequently get away with it. Hunters deserve more than what BM or project offers them and I hope the community finds a way out to always protect the interests of the hunters.

Thanks for sharing the article. It will be a great help for anyone who is interested in ICO investment. Successful ICO investment can also go beyond what was written in the article. An investor needs a bit of luck after applying other principles.

Life would have been easy if we were given to know what the future would be like. I participated in MiracleTele bounty as well and I was so confident that the project would do excellent and it would have been my first and the biggest hit since 2018 that I started bounty. Things changed all of a sudden and everything went bad. I don't know about the other projects you stated, but to be honest, bounties have not been the same as they were in 2017. We can only hope we get lucky with one solid project and every past effort get paid off.

Let's leave the future for a second and address the current issue facing bitcoin. Unless there is unanimous agreement between the bitcoin communities and they properly find solution to its low transaction through-put, then bitcoin might struggle to function effectively as a true currency globally. We have other issues like high volatility and price instability. The probability of cryptocurrency taking over the world future monetary system is high, but not certain it will be BTC. Let not forget that cryptocurrency industry is still young and out of it, something different which is neither fiat nor crypto might evolve to be the next money.

The world governments are afraid of what Facebook will become if it is allowed to carry on with its Libra project. The platform already possessed billions of users' data all over the world and it is about adding financial data of these users to its database. Knowing fully well the scandal records of Facebook, it will be hard to handover such massive data again to them. I doubt if the Libra project will ever start again. Many governments will still rise against it.

I do not rule out possible mistakes. But I think by now, the sender should be aware his payments are going to a wrong address. It is not just a single transaction, but series of transactions. The OP can provide more visual details to back his claim and members can properly figure out what went wrong.

You have a point there. Anything can happen in crypto. Original extension can develop bugs. If you are skeptical about these extensions, I think you should have dedicated wallets specifically for trading and they should be changed often. And then, different wallets to store your assets away from any online activities. One can still play safe with this.

You can't just blame the people for falling to scam thinking thousands of people failed to do their homework. The truth is Devs and CEO with the intention to scam will never reveal that to anyone and the serious ones will go to the extent of obtaining necessary licences, only to slowly pull a beautiful exit scam.

The idea of giving out bitcoin just to create more awareness and set a pace for mass adoption is good. It took me years before I could accumulate substantial bitcoin even after gaining indepth knowledge about it. No capital to accumulate BTC or trade it to increase it. I engaged in lot of faucets in order to gather enough which wasn't enough after all. I believe your Giveaway will help people coming in to easily experience the dynamics of bitcoin and own their personal BTC that they can easily work on and perform different experiments with on their own. You can do it in such a way that these people learn about bitcoin in an ideal way and show sign of engagement with the crypto space before you give it out to them. And a sort of follow up should be done to make sure it is yielding positive and intended results.

ICO is legit and good approach of raising project funds. The intention was a good one until the bad actors in the industry made it look like a scam. Hence, the perception of ICO changed. Investors became very careful and alternative means, IEO, was developed. ICOs are still legit and we have a number of projects still taking that route to raise funds.

You can just observe some Telegram groups of projects where both the investors and the hunters will be clamouring for listing when no products are still in development. The team are often forced to change focus just to please them. Next thing, the price is dumped and team lost the zeal, abandon the project or do any exit scam.

I agree with you. IEO has lost its purpose. Sporadic launching of IEO by these exchanges has made it look less valuable as well. To the extent of a new exchange launching an IEO after few days of existence. Investors are losing their money and have no or little regard for IEO except it is launched by reputable exchange.
