There's no 100% scam proof method except when you do not participate at all  
Just keep arming yourself with knowledge (do your own research).
As you become more knowledgeable, the easier it is to spot scam projects.

For sure, ETH has great tech behind it and it is the leading platform right now. Predicting its price for 2020 is a bit tough, it will probably be above $5K

Let us just say that some bounty hunters do cash out fast upon receiving their bounty rewards and some hodl and wait for the project to grow.
Same goes for those early adopters.
At the end of the day, it's their coins/tokens. They sell whenever they want and nobody can stop them from doing that.

Well, that's a good read in this bear times.
Bitcoin could probably reach the $20K mark by early fourth quarter in my opinion.
Some say it could reach $40K or even exceed $50K at the end of the year.

It is a good news but 2025 is a bit too long for cryptocurrencies to be accepted in shops. I think it will happen in two to three years time. Exciting times ahead for legit cryptos  

I never thought a blockchain project for party-goers would even exist  
I like the model of how participants can increase their reward.
The more parties to attend, the higher they rank up and earn more rewards in the process.
Entertainment and Earning rolled into one.

Why keep both tokens (iBTC and Dontoshi)?
Isn't it better to just swap iBTC to dontoshi since it's under the same team?

Yeah, agreed that both were hyped so hard. TRX might somehow live up to the hype. I do not think will though so stay away. Just my opinion also  

I've read some few interesting apps I never heard before being mentioned here.
I might try them out.
I'm still using blockfolio and delta app for monitoring.
Using tabtrader for trading.

Good topic you opened up here.
Lots of new guys will learn from this particular thread when it comes to gem finding.
Coinmarket and forums like bitcointalk are pretty handy.
Following some crypto "celebrities" is also helpful (not all the time).

How so? Are all alts from America? Are all trading sites from America?
From what I know, developers, traders, and investors are scattered all over the world.

I don't use bots for trading but I turn on notifications for coinmarketcal and others to keep me updated from current of future events/news which helps me in making decisions. 

Roadmap is certainly a good guide in making investment decisions about a certain project.
But it does not have to stop there. A clear roadmap with no team or a weak team to implement the plans, is useless.

In the eyes of non-crypto people, all projects are somewhat the same. So a negative news to one, affects all the others.
On advertising, there's still social media. Even if without paid ads, we can still spread awareness/education.

If you have a big capital for investment, you may choose to diversify your portfolio as a possible protection in case one investment does not work.
For starters who do not have enough capital, I think it is better to put it in one or two investment for max gains. Just have to be careful when choosing.

It is amazing to know that some people would panic over news on ad bans. It should only affect those upcoming projects' initial coin offerings as their reach/exposure would drop. Not those established coins like bitcoin.

Either a shake out of newbies who entered during the bull run and could not handle the current market or many are just satisfied holding and waiting for the next wave. It could also be both.

There are multiple day trading strategies. Although the best to one person, may not be the best to others. You may have to find your own "best" trading strategy. Read and watch trading lessons and practce.

Tough losses you had. May that be a lesson for you and everyone to arm yourself with knowledge in this crazy and risky industry. You can still recover when the market recovers 

It is a good move by Bittrex.
It is all about business, keep those who gives you profit and remove those that does not.
For every coin delisted, new ones will come that will possibly bring them more $$$.
