As much as it is difficult to detect bounty that is a scam,we can take some precaution by researching the manager of the project to know if credible enough,also check the white paper to know more about the project.

This is definitely not the right time conclude that we will not have bitcoin bullrun this year because we still have alot of time to the end of the year,in crypto space,anything can happen,and that is one interesting aspect of it.Few days can make the difference,either to the dip or to the rise.

I guess it will be a bad idea on the part of anyone to save all is asset in one wallet.Wisdom demand that it should be spread across different wallet that we own,by that we can minimize the risk of loosing our wallet to hackers.

You do not need to convert your BTC to Eth.I will rather advice that if you are capable enough,try and have both so that they can both average each other incase we have a dip worst than we are having it now.

crypto is not ponzi scheme,it will be a bad idea for anyone to come into crypto with the mindset of getting rich over night.Crypto goes beyong just getting rich,it is an avenue to use blockchain technology for evolution even as we all benefit from it in terms of source of income.Crypto require patience and deep research.

If you have got no other job you are engage in why not,you can even do more than that.But make sure you carrying out the task to the details so that they can be profitable after all.

If i understand your point,holding bounty coin,i will advise you to hold onto a coin that is promising,but i tell you,most of the coin we have now are shit coin.Istead of holding any coin i will rather exchange it for a better one when is still valuable,then if is worth going going back to invest in,i will do that.

Selling what you bought for 900$ at whatever price we have now to me is not the best decision especially when we know surely that it will surely rise,this month,next,three months time or more than i can't say.I will rather advice you to hodl and wait patiently for the bull run

I guess we already have related topic on the forum which also discuss something similar to this.

This is a good time to invest in crypto considering the dip,but if you will invest,make sure is coin that have prospect to rise again.get yourself inform on updates on each coin,that can help you to invest in the right coin.

Talking about benefits,we also need to analize the risk involve.as for bounty, you have nothing to loose except your time and energy,but for trading,your asset is at stake.bounty can be better in term of benefits if only you can minimize your loss and maximize your profits.as for me,i stay with both.

It is not only bounty hunters that dump,investors also tend to dump.There is no point keeping a coin that you know is leading you nowhere.Even if i have to loose,i still want to minimize my loss,the moment investors discover a coin will depreciate in value,they have no choice than to dump.As a matter of fact,if a project is solid,no matter how they try to dump,it will rise back.

To say that a bounty campaign extended is a scam may not be totally true,because there are many reason why a team can decide to extend the period of the bounty campaign of their project,one of which is to buy them time to be able to reach their target.If such things happen,we just have to make do with it as investors to be able to have a successful campaign.

That practically depends on the coin you have at hand,if you will hodl,make sure is a coin that have tendency of increasing,and you can actually determine that by making research into the team that came up with the project,check their contribution to crypto,also take time to look into the problem the project want to solve.

I think charity is one thing that can make the world a better place if properly done.I will suggest we make it a way of empowering the less privilege instead of using it as a way of just feeding and clothing the less privilege. What about having charity initiative on blockchain maybe that will help to eradicate corruption existing within the organisation.

Long time investment can be a good choice if you are making the right one.investment made in established coin like BTC,ETH,RIPPLE e.t.c.There are some other altcoin that are also promising if you can make your research very well.The worst you can do is to make a long time investment in shitcoin.Be wise.

That depends on why you are buying.The question is! are you buying to holdl or trade? If you are buying to holdl for a long time,I suggest bitcoin,come what may be you can be rest assured that your investment is safe with bitcoin.But if you are buying for trading,if you can trend of the market very well,some altcoin can actually be very profitable on a short term.

The possible motivation you need is self motivation,considering the nature of crypto market which you can do nothing about except than to be smart when engaging in trading.

If you have to buy merit to move from newbie to jr member,it means there is limitation to how far you can go because is only the member with creative mind that can explore the world of crypto and the bitcointalk forum successfully.For those selling merit,you should know that you are only trying to destroy what you have built,that is if you actually contributed to the growth of the forum.

Though at first it looks unfair especially to a junior member like me to go back to newbie because I don't have any merit I guess,but taking a second thought, I feel the new restriction in the forum will help to improve the quality of the post we are having in this forum and newbie like me will now work hard to earn  the merit or what do you think?
