I totally agree with you on this OP. With all my past campaigns, i still haven't received any tokens. So many reasons, one say that they haven't reach the soft cap, the other not enough volume to be listed on exchange, etc. So tired of waiting but still hopeful that i will receive those tokens. I wish.

For me it matters a lot that an ICO employ the expertise of bounty managers with high ranks. High ranking established members here will simply not jeopardize their stature for a project that's not well think off. Although i will not generalize all of them. I was once had an experience with a well-known name bounty manager here that after the ICO, he disappeared immediately as he was already payed and just did not care whether the bounty participants will be payed or not.

OP, in my own experience, i take a very good consideration the bounty manager whose handling the ICO. There were so many respected and highly recommended bounty managers that you can look into. If an ICO is handled by such manager, then in my own opinion, it is a good bounty because i truly believe that they will not risk their name and reputation for one scam project. There is one name (amongst others) i will highly recommend to you, bounty manager Hexah.

Go for ETH, Litecoin, and Ripple. Or you can check out, https://coinmarketcap.com. The top 20 coins listed are likely to have the most possibilities for a good long time investments. But there is one token that i am so excited about, KWATT. The project is so promising and their team were so exceptional, answering all questions to the fullest to a very friendly way. I haven't seen a project wherein the projects President himself, responds to all inquiries pertaining the project. Check their website, https://4NEW.io.

As i see it, you're already a Jr.Member in rank OP. You can now join some bounty campaigns. But be very diligent in finding an ICO to participate with. Study their whitepaper, their team very attentively. Have a watchful eye especially to their bounty manager's name. In my own experience, ICO with a highly recommended bounty manager's name, nothing can go wrong. Hope i've helped you in my own little way.

However, the decision to invest or not to invest, and when to invest should always be based on due diligence. We need to do our own research to make sure that any investment we're gonna pursue fits our risk profile and to invest only in markets that may provide more value.

Yes Sir finally, notwithstanding the fact that it's a little bit tiny - any recovery always seems better than nothing at all. It could be a sign of maturity that markets are now reacting positively to talk of regulation. But then again, perhaps it’s just a momentary recovery on the long road due to it's nature. Bitcoin's notorious volatility means BTC is expected to continue to shift unpredictably. I still have high hopes that bitcoin will rise to dizzying heights soon.

Why don't you try Litecoin? It has tremendous potential and with enormous projects lined up for implementation. A number of upgrades are upcoming to make it more convenient and easy to use. It processes transactions faster and its fees are incredibly low and is likely to hit record highs in value in 2018 and beyond.

Yes i do believe that bitcoin will be a better payment system. Bitcoin offers us with many advantages over traditional banks because it allows us to send and receive payments all across the globe, without us having to worry about conversion rates. Merchants do not have to pay any processing fees to carry out transactions. Another highly beneficial aspect of using bitcoin is the fact that large payments can be made with ease and without any monetary caps on the size of the payment. Although bitcoin is still in its nascent stages and is volatile in its pricing, it still has a potential to improve and become better.

This is easier said than done. As i see it, the only way you can achieve this goal of yours is by trading. I sure hope you have some knowledge on this. May i remind you Sir, that we were experiencing bear market as of this time and all coins were ridiculously unstable. Nothing is stable at this point of time.

Just ignore them. They maybe jealous of you that you even have bitcoin and they don't. They were bitter. Be steadfast and hold that bitcoin until you have achieved your longtime financial goal.

You have so little patience OP. Crypto market will not stay red forever. At a later time, market will positively escalate and you'll see your investment's value skyrocket to the moon again. In the meantime, stop looking at all the news that have a bearing on your investments. Less feeling of apprehension on your side.

I always believe that Ethereum, Bitcoin, Ripple and Litecoin are good investments. Owning these cryptocurrencies are what i strive for in order to successfully bring about my long time aspirations.

That would be definitely true if you were comparing it by their market value for now. If only for that, i agree undoubtedly. But i really think that in time, it will be the other way around. Meaning, ethereum will be the king and bitcoin maybe queen but not according to price. Ethereum's underlying application is much stronger as it provides a platform for executing smart contracts which is being increasingly used by more and more companies all over the world. Should i say more?

The only reasonable thing to do in a bearish time like this is to buy a great deal of different kinds of coins as many as our fiat allows us to. Then hold as long as we can until we've successfully bring about our desired financial aspirations.

Everybody wants to make a profit that's why we want bitcoin to have a high value. Not just profit so to speak but a huge profit. That's the way it should be. I would not call it selfishness because every investors main goal is to achieve a financial or a specific life goals. And for me the only way to accomplish those goals is if the returns of my investment is exceedingly enormous.

The best thing to do is to make a written copy of your private keys. I, myself did this but instead of one, i have two copies of my private key. I entrusted one copy to my daughter for safekeeping if anything happens. The other one, i kept in my personal files to which she also has knowledge of. We'll never know what lies ahead that's why we should always be on guard.

This certainly is the most suitable time to be involve. These dips will fortify our portfolio to the fullest giving us earnings we could have never imagined.
