Well as long as there is no world war or cutting off internet connection then I guess that cryptocurrency will last forever since the technology still evolving and we have lot of ways to learn about crypto.

Not only Japan but also other countries in Asia is now adopting cryptocurrency and blockchain technology which is good for everyone in crypto sphere because it would increase the demands for Bitcoin or altcoins.

Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) is a new way for any projects to sell their coins via exchanges, it gives some assurance to the buyers or investors that the funds will be hold on those exchanges like an escrow. I see a lot of newly projects doing this kind of thing since the bear market started.

Way back in 2017 when I start doing bounties all campaigns that I participated is worth the time of waiting but when the bear market start to kicks in 90% of ICO's got affected as well as bounty hunters, waiting is worth it if you choose a good projects while the market condition is bad.

There are lot of altcoins in the market but if you think that the one you holds have a big potential to grow in the future then holding it for a long term is a good choice because any new coins will take some time before it reveals the true value.

I think it will depend on the campaign you are participating if you are very picky and choose good ICO then it might be possible to earn 1 BTC in one year though the market condition really affects any new projects so it would be hard to find one.

In my point of view 2 years is not enough for BCH to overtake Bitcoin though there is a possibility but everyday Bitcoin believer keeps growing while BCH just ride the hype so it would not be father of all coins for nothing.

Bear markets opens an opportunity for some to acquire more potential coins with much cheaper price, if you are afraid to take risk on buying newly coins then I suggest to start holding coin that is on top 10 since they have a big potential to bounce back in the nearest future.

Way back in 2017 I always visit coinmarketcap since that is the time when crypto goes up and down for a short time but when the bear market start and stay for almost a year now then I only visit the website once or twice a week.

There are already some large companies that is integrating blockchain technology without using cryptocurrency so the answer is YES though blockchain has been in our society for a decades but cryptocurrency was the one who give it more awareness.

It happens on most cases but if the bounty distribution is delay based on what OP said and you see a price dumping on the coin then it means that some of the ICO investors want a quick profit or maybe the dumping came from what they called "tokenswap" these are the holders who have a big amount of tokens that get via partnership of the project.

I agree with what OP says that the users is the problem and not the technology since crypto was created for a transparent and trust less transaction then the lack of knowledge on how to use it relies on the end users, we need more awareness and proper guidelines on how to use crypto to avoid problems in the future.

I suggest everyone to read this article because it will give you some insight on what will happen in 2019 though it's not about bull market but if all the statement on the article happen this year then it will have a great impact in crypto space in the long run.

Most of the time investors or supporters of a project blames the bounty hunters when the coin hits exchange and the price go down but some wise investor taking this opportunity to acquire more coins because they believe they knew that the coin will have a real value in the long run.

Hold longer and buy more while the market still on a dip situation because it will maximize your profits once the correction is finish and the market make a new all time high, just have more patience and trust in crypto and blockchain technology because I believe that the mass adoption will happen in the next few years.

It's my first time hearing this coin nor the exchange and I tried to run some search on coinmarketcap and it looks like this is coin is not listed yet although the ICO was ended since May 2018, can I know when did the exchange goes live or fully functioning?

In short you don't blame others aside from yourself but learn from your mistake will eventually lift you up in the future because every decision you've made regarding holding or selling of your coin is upon yourself so never blame others with your own fault.

In crypto space whatever happens in the market always open an opportunity for everyone whether it is bull or bear market, the important thing to remember is how you will react on this kind of situation. We often hear the method of "Buy Low & Sell High" which is totally true if you apply it on yourself.

It will be good if this news is true but based on what I read on some articles this rumor has no basis since the Russian government did not make any official announcement regarding buying Bitcoins but I'm also hoping that it became true because if this happens more countries will follow that could give a good results in the market.

I totally agree with you since crypto made a lot of noise all over the world, there are lot of projects popping out of the blue and most them are fraud or scam project which is affecting bounty hunters and investors. Nowadays bounty hunters must choose a good project in able for them to get their rewards at the end of ICO.
