Not selling in january/February bull run market has been my greatest regret in crypto which I still think about till now. Although I believe things will still get better but I don't see the kind of condition we had then happening this year again. Probably we can expect this in the coming year.

I even doubt if up to 95 percent will survive due to the fact that most developers just develop coin and go ahead to list on these small exchanges without caring about the interest of the investors. At the end of the day, the coin will just die naturally and in no time out of the market for good.

Although it is quite expensive to list on these major exchanges but developers who do not want the price of their coin to dump and are interested in the investment of their investors, they will still endeavour to list on them because of volume because low volume exchanges in most cases drop the prices of coin on exchange.

From the way I see it, you can't just conclude that the ico is a scam because they have not listed for close to three months now, although if I were in your shoes, it will be a thing on concern but deciding on this will also be based on the feedback from the team. Are they frequently communicating with the community on the progress of the process of listing? Because listing on these exchanges are not too easy except for those small exchanges which mist of us do not prefer.

Well I quite agree with you to some extent but I do not totally agree. The truth is that most bounty rewards are not being released to bounty participants almost immediately after when it ends and they now prefer to give investors first thinking bounty hunters will dump the token and therefore lead to a fall in the price. Such that by the time bounty hunters have access to the coin it will be worthless. For this reason stated, bounty campaign cannot be fully depended on but rather as a support to one's main job.

I am also a bounty hunter so I can relate with what you are saying, for me, whenever I am given any bounty reward, I will try as much as possible to know the worth of the tokens and well as their future prospects so as to decide on whether to hold or dispose it as soon as possible when the price is still manageable.

Despite the fact that the current market situation is highly frustrating , we cannot side line the fact that there are still some credible projects out there.  All you need do is to make sure that the ICO in question is adequately researched to avoid making a wrong choice.

Well said, knowledge is the most important thing in this world. people's knowledge will always be wide and will not be narrowed if we use it regularly. Having a fruitful knowledge will lead you to a deeper level of understanding. In a few months of reading here in bitcointalk, I can bodly say that I acquire a lot of knowledge in every aspect of cryptocurrency.

I quite agree with you but still I have not totally gotten over it because I still think about my past mistake sometimes because it was really a costly one. I just hope the market gets back on track as soon as possible so as to recover what I have lost.

I am sure this set of people has cause a great havoc to a lot of people in the crypto community and the actual amount they have scooped from people might even be more than this. This is an awaking call to everyone that adequate research is important before going into any project.

I think kyc is a good requirement to get information from prospective ICO contributors but I do not really see its importance for either bounty or airdrop participant who might end up getting an insignificant amount of tokens.

For me, I will neither buy nor sell but I will rather cross my legs to see how things unfold because the market condition has not been favourable for the past months. Although for those who want to invest on a long term, this is the right time to hold some good coins.

I quite agree with you because most if the ICO majorlg uses erc 20 wallet on the ethereum network but some ICOs are also using other platform like stellar, neo and the likes but I believe a time will come when ICOs will prefer to opt for these mentioned platforms rather than going for ethereum.

Well this is crypto and anything can happen at any time but from my own point of view, I don't see any altcoin competing with bitcoin right now and the possibility of this even happening in the future is very slim. The degree of bitcoin dominance is evrn more than half of the market.

I don't see reasons why people bother themselves all  in the na me of airdrop. The era of profitable airdrop in the crypto community has come and gone. If you don't have enough fund to tokens, it is better you go for bounties to be able to earn some tokens.

I really buy this suggestion of your because it is a good one especially from the perspective of bounty hunters but come to think of it do you think ICO team will buy this idea. Although it is also beneficial to them because it will reduce the rate which the coin will dump but will they be willing to buy eth,btc or any other top coin to pay bounty hunters out of the money the raise?

I think the survival or non survival of alt coins is highly dependent on the performance of bitcoin in the crypto market. As long as bitcoin keep dominating the market, alt coins will be at the receiving end. And the effect might be greatly felt especially on Altcoins that are not well ground.

With current situation of the market is not conducive for upcoming ICO. Most potential investor would prefer to wait till the ICO is over since the same token can be gotten from the market at a very cheap price compared with the ICO price.

Airdrops has not lately been in the good books of bounty hunters. For me personally I have given  up on airdrops due to my past experiences with them. Most of them just have the intention to create attention towards their ICO without giving required compensation to participants.
