The solution is to stop promoting suspicious bounties, Only select few good one's. Take note on our current situation even promising projects does not pay off. No funds, No investor will result to a failure. So better select bounties that is already listed with decent price or has an upcoming IEO on a decent exchange with real team too.

This theory might correct but it might be wrong too, I guess with a massive sell off amounting $210 Million anything can go down temporarily but it is starting to recover. But I am thinking that was the combination of all the bad news happening right now but I am not saying crypto is a news dependent.

Investor and bounty hunters are just the same  now, On investor after the price hit x2 or x3 they sell right away and leave the project, that is what happening in almost all IEO. On bounty hunter after the token gets listed they sell no matter what the price, everyone is after for short term profit.

The last Bullrun I think will not happen again, every ICO is almost sold out that time and most of it are sh*tcoins and now they are gone, Investors are wise now they do research before investing, even legit projects fail because investors are being cautious right now. I wish I have that portfolio now but I don't wish those scam projects to continue to exist, It is better this way, We are going back to Bullrun slowly but surely.

It is always bitcoin's year, Some altcoins only follow bitcoin's path and reach their own ATH too it is not just LTC. Look at now bitcoin Hit $7k and all alt are bleeding too. They all depends on bitcoin, I am not really a fan of bitcoin forks, I haven't really noticed what is really their use cases and what is their purpose.

why not try Margin Trading? You can borrow funds and you can trade more than the amount that you have on your account. It is a different concept but the results were the same. I haven't heard a crypto exchange that offers that kind of services but some wallets like NEXO offers loan services but it needs crypto collateral.

I am not a gambling addict so I cannot share an accurate answer but I want to share my perspective about it, Maybe it will help a little, some of us never realized that they are an addict so by reading those threads they can realize something they should have not done. But it really depends on the person some after realizing it they keep doing what they like until they satisfied but it depends on financial capability. I guess gambling addiction could be dangerous It might lead to crime if not prevented.

Just to inform you guys Gate .io also offers FREE listing, I have tried to apply for a project last year but it didn't meet their standard, I guess the projects need to be listed on other exchanges before applying there, If you knew a decent project you can try to submit there, they also have rewards if the projects get listed successfully. You can check the listing form here: https://gateio.io/listing

Marketing really helps a project to gain new investors, if it is just a good project and no marketing it will not survive. Marketing, exposure and partnership is very important in this industry. As an investor I look into that fields, active projects has more chances to success.

Crypto is not all about trading you cannot say crypto is fake because you lose at trading, trading is a very risky thing it is not guaranteed that you will get profit everytime. But I agree in some of your points,  I got suspicious with these unscheduled maintenance of centralized  exchanges and after that many got liquidated I hope it is not manipulated.

Yeah to prevent this an ad blocker will help, I have compared a lot of adblocker but on uBlock Origin I was satisfied. There was a phishing attempt before that time they are using Trezor they have created a fake Trezor site and publish on google ads and uBlock origin completely blocked it. I don't know what is google doing allowing these malicious ads even on playstore they allow fake app, if no one's report it, they will not take action.

That is ridiculous   at age 5 already playing gambling, maybe it is just for fun not serious, I am curious what type of gambling this kids are doing. Maybe it is just stated on their rules but literally no one plays at those age. Well there are some exemptions, there are some kids that are born a genius.

Yes it is very possible, In fact, I think I am seeing a situation like that in previous weeks, almost everything is down including bitcoin but LINK is surging like 5 to 10%. But situations like that does not happen everytime. Everything can happen on crypto or should I say on some altcoins. Some are fake pump and some are real so be careful.

I still consider myself a newbie, From your list I have another thing that I do, Reading crypto news or blogs, It helps us to be updated on what is going on with crypto space, I also follow some individuals on twitter like CEO of top exchange, Well-known crypto enthusiast, etc. I do that because I want to be updated. You can search a lot of blogs on google.

Yes, this must not be done if you are using a public computer and I don't recommend using a public computer or network when accessing your crypto accounts it is very risky. I think it is okay to save password if you own the computer or laptop. I have done this in college it is a simple trick but it really works.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Fiat are in a different category no need to compare them. Bitcoin is the king of cryptocurrency no doubt about it, and For me, Ethereum is the king of altcoins. Cryptocurrency and fiat have their advantages and disadvantage and they should co-exist and they should not fight or be compared they have their own unique purposes.

I don't think so, In fact, it benefits both of them since p*rn sites has a lot of users around the world it will promote the cryptocurrency to a huge amount of users at the same time. If you are familiar with Verge (XVG) they are already partnered with Pornhub, Also TRON and it has no negative effects on the platform.

I have an airdrop of KickEX amounting 888,888 tokens I don't know if it's real but it is already listed on Kucoin, They airdrop a lot but it is locked or frozen I think if it will be unlocked there will be a massive dump and their token value will decrease. I think it is their strategy to invite users on their platform.
Thanks for posting I will check those other projects.
Anyways, Coinbase is still giving some coins but on some locations like Asia most likely ban, it is not literally banned it keeps saying on waitlist like forever.
But if you are on a different location you can try it here: https://www.coinbase.com/earn/

Since your topic is about trading I guess it is better to move your thread at Trading Discussion - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=8.0 you can move it by editing your thread and find the move topic and you are good to go. Back to the topic How do you know when to sell, You can set some limit or targets like 5% or 10% profit. If you reach that percentage you can sell your coins. Some exchanges have stop loss/stop profit feature so better learn about it.
