Bounty hunting is similar to investing but instead of money, you put in your time. If you end up joining a scam project, the time and effort place there should've been exerted to another good project that you might have missed. Indeed all of the things you listed are necessary to be a successful bounty hunter.

This ain't shit man. The worst bounty I participated in was opporty. Bounty run for 6 months and it took them a year to complete ico--but not exactly. The team decided to just list the token in an unknown exchange with an unreasonably strict kyc. Moreover, the bounty tokens are locked for a year.

I would invest half of that money to bitcoin then the other half to litecoin, eth, exrn and xrp. For the latter coins, it doesn't matter how you allot your investment since all of them (except exrn) are pretty decent projects which have been in this space for a long time.

ICOs are like in a hibernation stage; once the market recovers it will be profitable again. One reason it will not die so easily is that there are people who just want quick bucks--this goes for both the investor and the developer.

Approximately 21 million coins will be mined and factoring out the lost bitcoins, there potentially only 19 million btc to be made available for billions of people. As I see it, bitcoin will definitely be valuable in the future if it gets mass adoption so this is a reason big enough. It doesn't matter if we're  in a bear market now or for the next few years.

Some skip it, yes, but they are actually missing out a lot. By reading a project's whitepaper, you could already tell if it is legit or not. I've translated many whitepapers into my language and I must say, there is a strong correlation to the length of a whitepaper to a project's legitimacy.

The ICO market is already saturated and there are almost no new investors, just old timers moving their money. Compared to 2017 where many projects reach hardcap, now they barely reach their softcap. So.. not entirely dead but its getting there.

This past year has been rough for most of us. I have learned to not regret when I fail to maximize my profit by selling at the right time since doing so would be impossible without hindsight information. As this bear market continues, let us take this opportunity to cultivate our knowledge on crypto so we'll be ready for the next bull run.

Find coins that have low correlation to the price of eth. This means ERC20 tokens are out of the question. I would suggest you buy litecoin as it seems profitable on the long run. Buy exrn if you are looking for short-term profit, needless to say that it's highly risky.

No doubt government influences bitcoin the most. Even now, the price is affected because of the ETF, that is, related to government aiming for regulation to an extent. In fact, at some point where the government of china took a hostile step against crypto, the price was affected.

As I see it, there's a high chance that the low price will persist until the end of the year. The reason being, no new investors is interested in bitcoin. Last 2017, the investors that should have known bitcoin got burnt in the bull run and are either out of the market or just waiting out the dust to settle.

If the ICO has a good concept, I believe investors would naturally be interested to put some money in it. Having a working product also is an advantage. A strong team also plays a huge role in obtaining attention since they can bring a certain level of assurance. All in all, the investor needs to have a substantial knowledge in crypto to spot hidden gems in the first place.

The previous years were undoubtedly profitable mainly because of the favorable market conditions then. It was so profitable that even a shit ICO would earn you 500$ just by joining it's bounty. Now, that isn't the case. In addition to the unfavorable market condition, the ICO market is already saturated and no new money is flowing into this space which is why I think this will indeed persist indefinitely.

Committing errors and learning through it make one's skin thicker. And that will be the time when they will reach new height of success. This is especially true for everyone, to anything especially in this space where all things are speculative.

A token being listed on an exchange (even it its the no.1 in volume) isn't and indicator of it success and guarantees it will not be worth nothing. In fact, it is a prominent pattern that when a coin is listed, it will inevitably dump due to investors profit taking.

People blinded by greed seems to have their brain similar to mashed potato wrapped in thin foil. If such an investment vehicle (or scheme) were indeed able to provide twice the amount of investment for an x amount of time, surely it will be highly unsustainable. Especially in cryptocurrency where it is a zero-sum space.

Adoption of cryptocurrency will undoubtedly create huge opportunities for employment. Like being a front end developer or back end, even costumer service representative for the blockchain company. It might not end poverty per se but it will significantly help.

Every hodler is a seller that just waits for the right time to maximize their profit. As for me, I've been holding exrn since 2017 and it's been a good experience for me. Many times I wanted to sell because of the bear market but I persisted since I believe in it's long term valuation.

Unfortunately, there are some ICOs that require them by law to execute KYC for bounty participants so the latter has no choice but to obey to get their reward. Logically though, it shouldn't be required since bounty participants are not costumers rather a force for marketing.

New coins just take up money that is supposed to flow into bitcoin, that is, it just reduces bitcoin's market dominance. One could argue that new coins are created to solve a problem and will be useful in the future but all of it are just in theory. The said coins are also used to scam new people in this space which hinders adoption.
