I do not think the bountyhive service is planning to close. There are simply no projects right now that would like to take advantage of such services. A reminder to add wallets is just a reminder, fulfilling their obligations to bounty hunters.

I think the next bullrun season is possible if institutional investors enter the market. And at the moment there are all the prerequisites for this. Perhaps soon we will see it.

My answers:
The market is more likely dead than alive.
No, I do not invest. These investments are a waste of money. There is no profitability.

BUT: I fully admit that the industry can recover. I would be glad about that.

Yes, I think it will happen. But not for all altcoins. Those coins that are backed by real products that have found application in real sectors of the economy will remain on the market.

Yes, at that time I also collaborated with Hashflair and Genesis Mining. For over a year now I have not had any contracts with them. It makes no sense - the profit is either very small or not at all.
Now we need to switch to staking.

And I fear that private coins will have to go into the shadows. Already now they are under rather strong negative pressure. After all, their use deprives the power of instruments of control over citizens.

I fully agree that the KYC procedure should be done by both bounty managers and members of the project team. Otherwise, ICO will never get out of the pit in which they now find themselves.

Well, bounty hunters are to blame again! Understand that you can not affect the price with one percent of the asset. Bounty hunters have no market influence.
Patience - yes, I agree. Really needed here. Both asset holders and project teams.

In the bounty campaign, I am looking for an interesting idea that can definitely be used in the real world. Also, the project should have a qualified team (found out in personal conversations) and certain developments on the proposed product (prototypes, preferably on github).

Does it make sense to invest in the Libra? After all, it will not be a speculative cryptocurrency, but a certain analog of stablecoins (as I understand it).

Good advice. I really tried to do this in a recent growing market, and I managed to make a small profit.

Perhaps this situation arises due to the lack of time or resources for the team to maintain the theme of the project on Bitcointalk in the actual state. In this case, if you support the project, worry about its development, you can contact the project team and become, for example, a moderator of their topic on the forum.

I think that automatic volume growth is unlikely to happen. With greater confidence, unnecessary coins and tokens will leave the market themselves.

I do not think that this upgrade of the EOS network will somehow strongly affect the price. This is the planned development of the blockchain, an update to improve network stability and security.
After all, for example, the cost of the operating system does not increase every time a security patch is released, right?

I think that now HitBTC, Coinexchange can be used as a replacement. Well, maybe Merkatox. But now normal shitcoin trading volumes are nowhere to be found.

I think that the situation with the fees in the Ethereum network should soon normalize. Yes, now the fee is quite large. This is likely due to the voting of pools for raising the transaction price. As agreements are reached, the cost of the commission will have to decline.

To defeat fraud is basically impossible. This is the nature of man
But you can protect yourself from fraud. For ICO projects, this is, first of all, it is necessary to introduce a procedure for checking the project team for truth (confirmation that they are real people) and professional suitability (confirmation that they have professional skills to carry out the tasks that the project sets before itself).

I see nothing wrong with that. Is there really a problem? Cryptocurrency, as well as fiat currencies, can be used for bets.
There is even a special service for bets made on the blockchain - Wagerr (https://www.wagerr.com) (I myself sometimes use it).

What am I doing? Like everyone else, I calmly wait for the situation to develop. Selling in the red does not see the point.
I played a little in a growing market, completed several transactions.

Undoubtedly, if a legendary forum member creates a topic for a project, then the level of trust in such a project is initially above average. However, no one says that such announcements should be thoughtlessly followed. No one forbids you to think with your own head, to independently evaluate the material and weigh risks
