You are right and we need to know that in such ponzi or high yield projects the true winners are the people behind them because they have the control over all the money and a few early joiners who had maximum opportunity to withdraw the most, i always suggest friends to stay away from ponzi like projects as i have also fallen for many in the past so i do not want others to loose in such projects as well.

Yeah crypto mass adoption is becoming more and more realistic and evident now from all these mainstream businesses and companies accepting btc as payment method and some governments and authorities also giving green signal to crypto, Dubai is planning to become a fully smart city with digital and cashless society and we can be sure all this cannot be achieved without utilizing blockchain and crypto.

Just imagine all these Eth upgrades and improvements coming and these will be implemented and completed by early 2020 then just keep in mind the biggest event of btc halving in quarter 2 of 2020 and then recall the bull run of last post halving season, all these indicate that right now it is the best time to accumulate more and more eth and btc because super bull season is coming in few more months time and im sure that patience is going to pay big time.

I see a lot of acceptance and adoption for crypto in recent months which is a bit slow to everyone's liking but slowly and surely we are going towards the target, i will not talk about the competition among btc and alts here but rather im optimistic about crypto market in general.

Ethereum is already an independent currency, you must know that the second largest number of developers are working on eth network from around the world so eth has no serious competitor in altcoin category. Secondly i do not think that any country will or can officially call any crypto their currency as far as i have learnt China and some other countries are working on their own state owned crypto coins that will be called as state crypto currency.

Yeah it is a very discouraging situation for almost all the people who participate in bounty campaigns. In recent months we have seen so many failed projects and failed bounty campaigns that bounty trend is really at the lowest at the moment that is why many people have stopped promoting and participating in more campaigns due to despair, this is also the reason that even the activity on this forum has also dropped, we can only hope that the sitiation will get better soon.

All of us are in the same boat even if we belong to bounty hunters group or ico investors group, nothing seems to be working at the moment and seems like that the golden era of icos is already over but i still hope i will be wrong and soon their will be a complete change in market dynamics and this market will again boom making all its related businesses profitable again.

I think for ethereum and eth based tokens the transactions are much faster now especially in the exchanges and wallets that im personally using, i have not tried changelly yet but i would suggest you learn some patience as 5 minutes wait is not so long, soon eth network is coming up with solutions for faster and cheaper transactions so just hang on for a little longer my friend.

I think next 2 years are going to be very very important for the crypto market in genral, you have talked about altcoins but i think for btc too these years are going to be critical and can prove to be make or break for crypto market.

Use of blockchain tech generally improves the overall efficiency, transparency of every business or service also it helps in automation and cutting costs so specifically of we talk about freelancing such platforms can really go to next level if they upgrade to blockchain because there are just too many benefits of blockchain tech like i just stated above.

Gold is a traditional hedge to money market and now crypro is a direct competitor of this hedging and alt investment category and i believe it will not take long now before crypto takes over. In few more years crypto will be in a position to dominate all financial markets, the recent healthy growth in gold is driven by panic in some of the biggest economies and also due to trup's strange statements and decisions that is escalating tensions and also creating a drama called as trade war.

I hope this BAKKT launch will truly prove to be impactful positively and market will get a clear upward direction  after it launches successfully, as it is expected to attract big investors that will invest in btc in a compliant and secure way so hopefully heavy sums will be invested driving the market up.

It is not something difficult to do, we should only pick and invest in top 25 to 30 coins by market cap, as all these top coins have the trust of the market and are reputed projects and do not just put money in every shiny looking new project as most of them are either scams or failed in the end.

I would say that generally the ico trend has converted into IEO trend in 2019 although there are still traditional icos running as well but very few have raised decent amount of funds this year so only IEOs seem to be the successful fund raisers this years.

You are right but last year or so has proven to be terrible for bounty hunters and i do not remember personally of any good reward campaign, most of them have either not paid or paid very very small amount as reward so good old days of decent bounty rewards are gone for now and we cannot predict when bounty market will be back to normal again, we can just hope for good times to come soon.

My choice is eth but from how it has been performing in last few months look like it can take some more time before we see real uptrend but obviously those who will buy and accumulate from here will be the ultimate winners so it is highly like that risk will pay of big time.

I was active on that exchange like 1 to 2 years ago and i never faced any issue the only thing that bothered me was the withdrawal fee which they seem to have lowered now so i might try this exchange again as i still have some coins there that were trapped due to high fee.

That is the reason why most of people here are struggling including me, i do sometimes try to re-order my portfolio but i always get confused and also behave lazily but i think good altcoins will definitely make a move soon while btc and eth will also have a great next year, it is both my analysis and gut feeling.

I think such immature actions are only done by some real greedy and wannabe rich quick kind of people and secondly such behavior is expected from airdrop or some new hunters as well because they think they have not put anything out of pocket so it is safe to share even private keys, they need to learn that one day they will be able to earn good from some campaigns and then how will they feel if someone hacks their account because they posted their private keys publicly online few months back? People need to be more responsible and rationale in what they do.

I think binance is most trustworthy at the moment but all top exchanges and their IEOs have done well till now, so i think its safe and lets say less riskier to participate in IEOs on reputed platforms like binance, huobi, kucoin and buttrex etc while participating at newer or smaller exchanges can be highly risky so i will not suggest that.
