I don't think so, it's too early to make such calls. I agree with you that bounties are down off late but I think it's due to the how the crypto market has gone down a bit. Once this pandemic ends and business starts to kick in motion I believe we may see a new wave of bounty promotion though it will definitely not be like the days of 2016 and 2017 where there were a lot of them to earn from.

An old friend in this industry once advised me that anything not running its own blockchain is not worth holding hence not worth investing into. With this preamble i guess is clear i prefer investing in a coin than a token because if any project decides to run its own chain it shows a sense of commitment towards the project and its development.

the decentralization of the crypto market always make it impossible to predict its exact trend and how prices are going to go. It's affected by news and some developments but nobody can really predict this market. I was one of the guys who were of the view that this halving of bitcoin will not be huge but things might turn out to be different. bitcoin is rising steadily and predictions of $10k have been made by some crypto analysts.

Both are ways to earn money in this industry from supporting blockchain startups but earning from bounties earns you enough money more than airdrops. but the work required from bounties can be a bit time consuming and tedious. so you have to prepare yourself for some of the tough tasks and strict rules.

Some folks are easily fooled by the huge rewards that are mentioned on the thread and hop into supporting any bounty campaign without necessarily looking at the project and its use case. Currently, the project I am supporting has a confirmed IEO on Probit and they have performed first round already. Hoping that this project turns out good in the future.

No, if you want to be on the safer side. Most altcoins have gone up recently due to the uprising of bitcoin price but are likely to come down right after halving. So I would say hold your horses and wait till after halving to get them cheaper once again. If you should enter at this point in time and it tanks, the you are going to suffer a huge financial risk unless you can hold for a very long time.

It was a great site watching the chats last night and how bitcoin was rising in value. I would not say we will enter a bull run but at least we are going to have a bit of a rise to about $10k maximum. Anybody thinking we are going to go past this would be surprised about the post halving dump that will hit us.

Your thoughts are right mate, don't ever be deceived by the comments about day trading being good for everybody, No, it is not. Only those trading with huge capitals are making the money. Your best short if your capital is not too large is to buy and hodl coins that have use cases that is going to make it price rise with time. Those are the ones you are likely going to make over 100% in months.

Well it depends on the state of the project, the use case and what the project wish to accomplish. Maybe the project might have taken a wrong path whiles coming up and that might have dumped its price but once they realize their mistake and put things in order listing on a big exchange is one of the factors that can resurrect it because on any big exchange we have traders that really look at the value of a project and not its current price.

That's right if they are scared of losing their money in any blockchain startup but with top altcoins like Ethereum, Tron, and Binance. If any newbie invest into any of these coin and hold it for very long term it will definitely be worth it in the future unlike new coins that just dumps and never rises up again.

Lol, I don't know what Craig really wishes to achieve with this dust he wants to throw in our eyes but I am sure he is several motives than just being accredited as Satoshi Nakamoto. Don't you think he is using this hype and attention to make his shit forked coin of BTC more popular in this industry? I am just asking because there is no point in this law case and how he is going to justify his claims yet we keep on wasting time on it

Nice work mate, I can't wait to try it out though but I was hoping that maybe you can add something that allows the conversation around how best we can use bitcoin as a payment method looking at all the scalability issues and the speed of the network. Maybe a little light around that area will also be a good idea!

How about we shift from the thinking of existing marketplaces coming into terms of accepting bitcoin as payments and rather support smaller online stores that accepts several cryptocurrencies as a method of payment for their goods. you can check these guys out, I just placed an order to receive an Ethereum Shirt and hoping to receive it in about 14 days time.

I don't think Tether will go that extent of creating new stable coins for each coin. That would be a whole lot of job for them to earn money. Already, they are minting new Tether almost everyday and making profits. I think governments would rather venture into the creation of their own stable cryptocurrencies to be used as a payment choice in their country.

Masternodes are surely one of the reliable source of earning passively in this industry provided the project is up and running smoothly and the team is also achieving huge targets as well. I have been running both Digibyte and DIVI masternode for a while now and they have been great. they are both backed by good and hardworking team and their use cases are great as well. This gives a constant liquidity to their coins from time to time.

No offence but I believe every bit of these terms were stated in the bounty rules yet you still participated. This is where campaign promoters need to really go by their words and stop promoting some of these projects. We complain that some rules are not fair to we the promoters yet when they launch a bounty with these draconian rules we still jump on board and support. If they feel a strong resistance on our part I am sure they would amend the general terms to favour bounty hunters.

This is a good observation of how some team members deceive their community on listing on popular exchanges but just as the OP clearly stated, the exchange will also make an announcement if there is any truth in it. One other thing that you can also look at is to take a critical look at the project, its use case and the growth of the project and know whether it will be worth listing on such Big exchanges.

The bitter truth that many investors don't seem to get even up till now! No matter the use case of the project it needs to grow, gain some adoption with its working products and once the use of it increases those who bought in early start seeing profits by holding their coins all this while. Some projects also have burning process as they form partnership and release some parts of their products and once this happens, it brings about an increase in the price of the coin.

A good project which wants to thrive in this industry needs to have use cases that would produce working products for real world use. Also, the team should endeavour to market their project so that investors can get to know about it. Lastly, listing on a better exchange would further increase the exposure to bring in more investors.

Sadly most marketing managers don't know this blatant truth but rather prefer giving huge sums of monies to so called Advisors who only ruin projects due to their bad strategies executed. I remember a project called Wolf Coin, it was doing very great till they got on board some advisors who only ruined the project by advising the team members to list on p2pb2b exchange.
