Besides looking at the coin market cap, commonly I will also look the market price on a crtain exchange, Of course, I personally have several exchanges and it is valuable to make certain considerations and doing research for the coins that have high volume trading and cycle during 24 hours per day. BY analyzing every coin that has good cycle and volume on the exchange, we can also see the prospect of new coins that will be worthier for trading or holding. ABout the excahnges, it will depend on your chocies. You can check on a local exchange or global exchange such as Binance, Kucoin, Bitrex, and many others

Everybody really hopes about the bullrun of altcoins. BUt fo course, we may not only wait for it to earn the profits. So far, altcins are still recoverying. Although several days ago the BTC signed the bullrun, it dropped now and has a more stable price. I think that altcoin itself will ne more times to gro and near to bullrun. We cannot predict the exact time for this.

I ever find out several projects that are considered as a dead project, but then, its resurgence is rising and surprised most investor or token holders. Actually, this may happen, but so rare. However, in fact, a legit project will always offer long-term investment worth. It means that sometimes, we need more than 2 years in order to allow the projects to grow on the market. We cannot force the projects to grow in a quick time.
When the resurgence of the inactive projects are coming, it really signs that the project may be legit enough, with certain real products and we must watch out and analyze more about the projects.

I also always consider those five reasons at least.
Probably, you can add some ways to identify that the bounties are legit or not.
For bounty on IEO, I think we must consider what exchange it is, whether it is trusted or not, better for higher exchange level with promising trading volume.
Then, I will also consider the concept of the project promoted by the bounty, whether it is promising for long term holding or not (I never think of short term holding from bounty), with the real product to be used.
High allocation for signature especially will be very welcomed, and of course, limited participants will be very promising.
Moreover when we get the payment with the top coin such as BTC and ETH. It will be so legit for weekly payment

If the new projects keep failing after distribution and ready on an exchange, this is normal. Many projects face this stuation. As long as there are still big volume and cycle on the market, it still signs well. But, of the price keep down and volume is also lower every day, we must be aware and careful whether it will become one of the shit coins or not.
The reason to keep failing of the projects will be various. Mostly, they have a similar concept, not an active team, and also few promotions to the new investors.

The first thing that we must know is that when investing in a new coin from the new project, we must be aware that it is for a long-term investment or holding, never think it will be for short term sale and we get big profits (not at all). Most investors have known and understood that when the new coin listed on an exchange, the price will be also down, never be higher than ICO price.
That is why most of them are not worried about it.
Lower price or down price doesn't mean that the coin will be a shit coin. If the coin really brings very interesting and promising features and products, believe that two years later, this will be a very great coin with a high price.

Initially, every time can be the right time to buy Bitcoin if we know the right moment and ways to make profits on it. However, it may be difficult because nobody knows about the next move of BTC. We can maximize our understanding by analyzing the market chart of BTC, the day of rising and dropping, and the cycle of the BTC price on the market. from those, I think we can see the right time to buy.
But for me, never only pick the ideas from other people, just do your own analysis, it will be better.
And here, you can buy some BTC and hold it until better price (depend on your strategy for trading or long term investment).

Of course one of the risks of IEO is the wrong choice of the exchange to list their token or coin during the IEO. There was a news about the certain exchange that scams their client that is holding IEO on the exchange (such as idax.pro). This will really influence the success of the project developer and investors. That is why, before holding certain IEO, it is better to ensure that the exchange to pick is the trusted one, with a good track record at least, moreover the top exchange will be better.

If it is about the price, it can be. But the fact by manipulation is probably about the trading volume and activities. Some exchanges may use the fake trading volume in order to attract more investors or traders to use the exchange. Normally, it may not be a bad idea. But, of course, we must be more careful whether their most trading volume is fake or not. And about the price, sometimes, the team of the exchange probably have chance to manipulate it. Well, who knows exactly. 

Once you are worried about the price of certain altcoin example Ethereum, you may be panic of any condition that the coin is facing. IT is not only about the risks of holding the coins, not only about the negative issues and hardfork. But it is also the readiness of you yourself who keep holding the coin. I think that you should not worry about that at all that will probably drive you the panic decision It will end bad, mate.
ETH is a very promising altcoin and the price is good enough at this moment.

Tidak perlu dibold merah sampai 18pt, Om. Saya kira cukup ditulis normal saja, orang-orang tetap bisa baca. Kalaupun anda ingin menegaskan sesuatu, cukup dibold bagian itu saja. [Saran]

Saya pribadi tidak mempersalahkan orang bertanya tentang hal yang ada sangkut pautnya dengan agama, apalagi itu masih terkait dengan ruang lingkup crypto dan blockchain. Hal tersebut wajar-wajar saja asalkan hanya sebatas opini atau sebuah pertanyaan, bukan asal claim atau judge "haram"/"halal" tanpa alasan yang kuat. Toh, sudah dijelaskan OP di atas kalo pun tanya ke Ustd atau Kiai, mereka mungkin tidak paham betul dengan crypto dan blockchain.


Sebaiknya fokus saja dulu ke pembahasan "Masternode". Karena agak sedikit berbeda cakupan antara Masternode dan Bitcoin. Nanti malah melebar pembahasannya.


Reply dari Om mu_enrico dan djadmika sudah cukup untuk menjawab pertanyaan agan. Selebihnya tinggal agan sendiri yang memutuskan kesimpulan dan tindak lanjut apa yang perlu agan lakukan.

Saya setuju dengan Om mu_enrico kalo masalah sepeti ini tidak cukup hanya agan tanyakan di forum seperti ini. Akan lebih tepat, jika berkonsultasi pada ahli ekonomi atau bisnis syari'ah.


Cukup dikatakan sebagai hadiah saja. Karena itu lebih mengarah kepada ucapan terima kasih atau penghormatan kepada seseorang.
Sedangkan kompensasi lebih berkaitan kepada imbalan/ganti rugi.  

I think the same as you. It is hard to trust in his strategy since there is no special thing to do there. I see it was still a luck factor to win, nothing more.
Anyway, if he tried to promote his video link or a youtube channel, it is absolutely a wrong way and never think to work. 

Tidak semuanya dikembalikan atau diukur berdasarkan apa kata hati. Kalo hanya dengan menggunakan hati, bisa-bisa agan cepat patah hati.  
Karena dengan analisa yang kompleks saja, masih banyak bounty yang ternyata berakhir scam atau gagal. Apalagi kalo join bounty hanya dengan mengikuti apa kata hati.

Itu tahun berapa gan? 2017?
Tipu-tipu itu juga tidak serta merta karena bayarannya USD atau BTC. Yang perlu diwaspadai adalah kalo bayarannya tidak masuk akal [terlalu muluk-muluk]. Misalnya, peserta bounty dijanjikan 1000 USD untuk setiap orang hanya dengan menulis satu artikel. Tentu ini kurang masuk akal, apalagi dengan syarat atau ketentuan yang relatif mudah. Hal yang harus diingat adalah bahwa suatu proyek pasti menawarkan reward sesuai dengan besaran kontribusi kita untuk promosi proyek mereka. Jadi kalau ada reward gede hanya dengan task yang mudah, saya pribadi auto curiga.  

Akhirnya Lauda, suchmoon, dan The Pharmacist masuk lagi ke jajaran DT1.  
Memang sebelumnya saya sendiri cukup ragu kalo mereka bakal benar-benar out dari DT1. Apalagi melihat kontribusi dan jam terbang mereka dalam membantu forum ini, sulit rasanya percaya kalo mereka out tanpa sebuah alasan yang kuat.

Betul Om. Setidaknya ada 3 nama yang sangat surprised bagi saya pribadi, yaitu Lauda, suchmoon, dan The Pharmacist.


Masih lanjut berarti updatenya, apakah sekarang ada update berkala Om?

Anyway, selain tentang perombakan DT, masalah lain yang masih akan terus seru dibahas di meta adalah tentang Ban masal akhir-akhir ini.
2 hal ini bakal menarik untuk terus dipantau di meta.

Libra is a part of Facebook and I know Facebook has everything to make Libra be a big coin. But we cannot claim it too early about the impacts of this coin in the future. Libra must prove to people that it is a useful and valuable coin firstly. And we can see it after mass adoption occurs. So, just calm and no need for excessive thinking for now.

What do you mean by "other coin centralization"?   
Yes, I assume with FB follows to create its own coins, crypto world will have new support. At least, it means FB recognizes that digital coins like Bitcoin and altcoins are very needed for future life. I am sure, after this surprising news, crypto adoptions will increase rapidly since people trust more in crypto future.  

Yes, maybe it is about a country restriction. I will try to use VPN to open it since it still cannot be opened till now.
Anyway, it seems interesting to read, so I will try to access it to read more / deeply.
Thank you mate.  

So far, we can follow the progress of Bitcoin and altcoins, they are quite different. For this day, Bitcoin really increases so fast but now it is likely doing the market correction. However, I'm sure that the progress of BTC price will not stop here and keeps increasing.
For the altcoins, some are still left behind, mostly decreased sadly because many people prefer to sell their alt and convert to BTC. This is normal. Wait until the BTC price side away or stable, the promising altcoins may be following the increasing price.
