The alternative market is not yet showing much improved performance even though Bitcoin is trading sideways there's still no much positive price action yet in the top ranked assets, but early next year there should be a bit more to look forward to

This is one of the main issues bounty hunters face when participating in campaigns that don't have the funds escrowed in advance or that aren't run by a reputable campaign manager, so make sure you DYOR into each campaign to avoid wasting time and effort on offerings that might be potential scams

This is generally good advice to take note of because STOs are still too new and haven't yet provided much results in terms of gains for investors before or after the sale, but this area should become a lot more popular next year and with it more bounty campaigns alongside IEOs

It's highly doubtful there'd be any excessive rallies at this point in time as the market is not performing as well as it could be given the current conditions, but the fundamentals are strong for assets such as these it just may take a little longer before they start appreciating further

Not all cryptocurrency projects are scams, but a lot of ICOs are not legitimate ventures and are designed purely for cashing in on the boom that occurred some two years ago now, however, there are lots of legitimate crypts that have a good ranking as well as decent technology offerings and real world use cases and these are the ones that are worth while focusing on

The alternative market is underperforming at present, in fact, even Bitcoin is considering the halving is not very far away and this month, typically results in some positive price movement so its a wait and see at this stage for new market developments but we might not see much improvement till early next year

At present the alternatives market is somewhat subdued due to a lack of performance by the top ranking cryptos in recent weeks and no hints of alt-season just yet so it's unlikely that predictions such as this will become realized in the current market climate at least not until the market fundamentals improve for these types of assets

This looks like a typical pump and dump scenario possibly co-ordinated by some large holders which doesn't mean the exchange is at fault its just pure profit taking and some lucky traders managed to pick up some cheap tokens with low buy orders so there's nothing unusual for cryptocurrency here

This will become a good use case for blockchain technology if it's successful in development and its very forward thinking and might go some way toward increasing twitters popularity and user base which has been lagging behind other social media platforms in recent times

Yes, you're right, people are likely to at least try the new stablecoin payment feature when it gets introduced if it makes it to release stage and passes all the stringent regulatory hurdles that stand in the way it should become a unique innovative feature that attracts a lot of interest due to all the hype

You'd virtually need to release a new innovation to capture attention and some projects achieve this and are commuity funded and don't require an ICO like Grin, which is based on Mimblewimble technology and was successfully launched mainly due to some marketing hype it received so that is a major factor in the success of non-crowdfunded projects

You'll find there are many projects that have never listed on Coinmarketcap for whatever reason or listed anywhere but you should be able to locate most of them on sites like ICOBench for ratings and reviews and Coingecko for listings and exchange info for trading

Long term you might want to hold a few less of the same overlapping assets as those platforms offer similar technologies and just stick with the strongest projects in each category, but you've chosen good quality options so you won't likely lose much capital if you manage the risks well

It would seem that most investors who want to invest in Gold would prefer the real thing not a tokenized version of it for now even though there are projects promoting these types of products that are pegged to real world assets, but Bitcoin is starting to become considered a worthwhile alternative and there still isn't much correlation between the two different economies so having both in your portfolio might not be a bad idea for hedging or general investment purposes

Cryptocurrency hype might have quietened down a bit in the mainstream media, but Blockchain and DLT have become the buzz words of the moment, especially in America, Europe, broader Asia and now China embracing the technology, this should have a positive impact on crypto once more use cases are found especially for stablecoins

You are right there were more terms and conditions adhered to in earlier bounty campaigns during the ICO boom of 2017 and this began to be diluted last year as the crowdfunding market declined and many projects weren't that successful in raising enough capital but you will still find lots of good quality campaigns around if you increase your ranking

It is entirely possible, but this will depend mainly on adoption rates and a key indicator of this will be how fast Facebook's and other major brands cryptocurrency projects like Telegram catch on and this probably won't occur overnight so its still a little too early to predict anything like this happening for certainty

Facebook's cryptocurrency project called Libra should be trustworthy in as much as it will probably be restricted to smaller transaction limits and be properly regulated, which should ensure consumers funds are safe and secure when using its payment network

This is great advice and it is very important to conduct your own research into market trends and investment offerings viability in the current climate as always, use a reputable exchange for trading that has good customer service and uses custody to insure its customers funds and you're likely to lose less capital

Binance have launched a DEX that doesn't require KYC as far as I know and its quite user friendly just it hasn't received the same volumes as the CEX version of the exchange, but these services may become more popular as more regulation is put into place that requires FATF guidelines to be followed and they can still operate without these restrictions
