Any project that goes straight into IEO does not organize bounty, because the marketing needed would have been done on exchange, which means that doing bounty will no more be necessary. Although, there are few of them the conduct bounty, but planning for an IEO in future. A typical example is Xcrypt.

Most times i prefer to go for the coin of lesser in price, but with more potential. Looking at these attributes, ethereum firs in more.
Also considering the development of platform, ethereum has more of the prospect. Future developments are also underway. Therefore, i would go for ethereum.

There is nothing wrong in using the word HODL in place of HOLD.  Hodl is just a slang used in cryptocurrency, after which it was mistakenly used by someone who believes in holding his bitcoin back then in 2013, until the prices increases and until he feels he is already in profit and ready to sell.
Therefore, if you like you use Hodl and if you like use Hold.

If this new development succeeds, it will be a win-win for both the ethereum platform and its users. Although, we are already passed the date stated @OP and nothing is yet to come up.
Perhaps works are still going on at the background, because i believe its a serious task.

One of the most sensitive part of the crypto space is its market. The reason being that it can easily be influenced by lots of factors, which contribute to either its uptrend or downtrend, depending of the nature of the influencing factor (negative or positive).
Pessimism simply means having negative sentiment about a situation or something, which in this case, about the crypto market, whether past, present of future. While Optimism denotes having positive sentiment about it.

Cryptocurrency has had and is still having a lot of backlash from several people, either knowingly for personal gains or out of ignorance. Most of the times, it is done out of ignorance, because many noob do not understand how the market operates.

Having said this, pessimism or optimism most times has its impact on the market and on individuals that exhibit them. For instance, there were a lot of negative sentiments about the market in 2018, as a result of the downtrend in the crypto space. We would not have had it as much as it occurred, but this was aggravated by the negative thoughts and utterances against the market. To the point that some saw the market dying, instead of seeing the opportunity to acquire more. Until now, just because they could not take advantage of the then moments and opportunities, they are still at loss and are still pessimistic about cryptocurrency. Which means pessimism "begats" more pessimism.

On the other hand, while the pessimists keep losing or missing golden opportunities, the optimists keep amassing more wealth for themselves, due  to their positive view about the market and how much they were able to take advantage of it. So also the positive sentiments about the future of cryptocurrency
as well as the products being generated is what is bringing about the uptrend in the market and this might continue just as far as it is maintained.

My view about the present market upsurge is that optimism outweighs pessimism. Therefore, decide on which you want to go for.

Your regular acquaintance with the crypto market will give you easy clue on which of the altcoins to invest in.
There are quite some good number of altcoins if you check the coinmarketcap, that are still in their active development stage.
Also, try to understand the risk involved, but your research will help in reducing the risk.

Whatever it is that has advantage, also has its own disadvantage. You never can tell what would happen, if SEC eventually comes in, full fledged into the crypto space, you might not find things as easy as it is now.
Perhaps commoners, retail investors and perhaps those who are the less privileged might not be able to invest again.
Take advantage of a moment like this to invest and trade, so as to make good profit.

If there is a dump, it can of course drop below that. So do not just expect a continuous growth without any correction.
In the longrun, i still believe that even if ethereum plunges today, it will rise and you will be glad you dud not wait too long before taking part in it.

If this information is authentic then we should expect another pump in prices of ethereum.
Perhaps this is what will take  ethereum to between $400 to $500, which is very much easy to achieve.
Useful and good news in this year are pumping the coins in the market.

That is if you know a whale has bought or is buying.
You should learn the concepts and principles on how to determine the trend of the market and how to know when to buy or sell.
Unfortunately, bitcoin never went below $3000 andi believe you won't be expecting that.

Some managers or project team intentionally do the restriction for some reasons.
That bounty has so many participants, does not mean it will be more effective. In fact, you can have limited participants and yet, such little number can attract so many investors.
This is why some projects try to make such wise decision.

This shows that it is not yet time for altcoins to grow.
You would have noticed that bitcoin is the only coin that is presently having more significant growth among other coins.
Even at that ethereum is still growing appreciably. Very soon, expect a rapid growth.

One of the reasons I so much like IEO, most especially those conducted on good exchanges, is that, there is more likelihood you are investing in. A legit project.
If peradventure it happened along the line that the project is a scam, investors' funds will be returned, which gives more credibility to the exchange and IEO in general.

I have known that ethereum is never a shit coin just as some professed or should I just assume that they only wanted to take advantage of the weak hands to buy more.
Presently, ethereum among other coins is showing appreciable and encouraging level of growth and I believe that before this year ends, it will rise above its preset ATH.

It is now clear that a lot of organizations, groups are industries are now considering adopting block chain technology, most especially from results that have been seen so far.
The mass adoption of cryptocurrency will be seen into effect not just only in private or joint organizations, but also in government functionaries.

I do not think there is anyone in the crypto space who wants to invest without profit in view.
Even if such investment is for long term, it is mainly for the sake of profit making. Except for some few utility tokens, where the users have special purposes for them.

The two are good coins. If I am to pick just one, I think I will go for EOS, because it has more tendency to serve the function of ethereum, most especially when it comes to the function of its platform in accommodating other tokens.
Although, when it comes to making my personal choice, I would go for both.

I do not kno wife you participated in hydro and ENU.
Most airdrops bring profit to those who are able to wait and be patient, else you will find yourself just selling at unreasonable prices like some of them do.
Whatever you get as a reward, just patiently give it a trial and hold.

Our achievements are mostly dependent on what we are personally made of, whereas just part of it is by virtue of the environment we find ourselves.
The crypto space has built a lot of people, most especially those who are ready to learn.
Today, such people are the ones making headways.

One if the rare gems that we have I the crypto space is ethereum.
This is not just an assumption, but a clear fact, because it is obvious, most especially from lots if analysis.
Ethereum might not just surge ordinarily, but it will fly.
