Yeah it can make the developers rich and that's how they are marketing to get more investors which will give them benefit and the bounty hunters as well in return.
@OP monitor a bounty that has a USD in value for the reward of their tokens and through it, you can calculate on how much a bounty hunter can earn depending on their rank or bounty that they will join. It's not only about signatures but with other ways too like youtube video making.

That's because it can be a season that where people are getting more money.

And to through these years people are becoming smarter on how they are going to use those hard earned money that they've got. Instead of using it for their pleasure, they are sacrificing it and using it to invest into something better like crypto's. 2016's year end isn't really so good but last 2017 is good so it varies.

Move away from it? I don't think so. It's not a reason that some investors decided to move away or if there's any for sure those are the newbies that are tired of waiting for the bull.
The right thing to do is to become patient and don't let yourself being drooled by the hype and FUDs that are circulating all over the forum and on news website.
Stay on your own plans and execute them, if you are a long term holder so be it.

Hi kaufmann,

What I saw with the investors to ICOs is that they are getting motivated when they saw someone on the team which is reliable and came from an experienced team before and made their latest project a success. That's why there are ICOs that becomes crowded if they saw some popular dev is part of the team.

Good luck on your thesis.

You have money to invest so the current price doesn't really a problem to you as long as you aim for long term investing in altcoin or bitcoin.

Before looking to any altcoin, don't you want to buy bitcoin? wait for a couple of days when it gets red again or you can buy right now before the bulls come.

I'm into masternodes but I'm really fulfilled to be a crypto geek and part of this community. I'd love discussing to people and do my own trades as well.

There's work to do not only with my trades but also in real life although my aim to spread crypto's are stopped for a while because of some issues. However, remembering when I was still a newbie with bitcoin and everything made me remember and cherish those sweet moments about how great crypto's are.

That's new to my ears that someone joined hundreds of airdrops and you never gained even $5?

I never joined any airdrop and I'm glad to say that because by reading every experience of others who felt bad about airdrops are coming every now and then.

Congrats! that's an achievement not everyone who is working as a community manager was able to reach this milestone.

I like those community managers that are very approachable to their workers, it helps in a way to give a bit of task and rewards as well.

I have no experience on this and as long as you guys are working very well and making your best shot with your every project and avoiding scam projects as well, that's all you need to do.

What I'm thinking is by connecting the dots with his prediction by betting that he's going to eat his own tool on national TV if bitcoin won't hit $1,000,000. He knew it from the start that he's no capable of doing it alone and he planned it to use the election by starting to campaign it accepted he won't win the race easily but instead using that popularity to spread awareness about bitcoin / cryptocurrency and blockchain. He thinks that it's a win-win situation for him, he lose the race, he wins by spreading crypto and increases the value of his portfolio but this is still a speculation.

It's not assured that day traders are getting loss when they do that for covering their losses. But if he/she is a panic seller there's no need to argue that whatever he/she does, there's no way to recover.

The best thing to do if someone has that type of attitude that never learns from the mistake of panic selling is to remain a long term holder.

This isn't a new scam, there were existing the same projects before that are doing it. Is this the first time you've got into this trouble? Most of these tokens are only making money from the people that are not aware of this scheme.
I never participated on it but I've seen tons of complains like yours.

You are trying to help gambling addicts?

Are you sure that getting bitcoin is likely a gamble? each investment is like that way and yes it is a gamble but how about you guys? you are also here so what are you trying to call yourselves? savior?

What are these "many" issues right now? slow network and expensive fees?

I agree on this but not all the people inside the community are going to help and there are people who are part of this great community are the ones who are giving FUD by questioning some problems that it shouldn't be an issue for bitcoin.

I thought you're going to say fees and network but what about with legality? bitcoin is decentralized whether it gets legalized or not it will remain as it is.

Massive adoption and demand.

Pumps and dumps are inevitable and he's not the only reason of it. I'm interested of what he said with that article which is an alternative to ICOs that can't be touched by SEC.
Before he's too eager to have a debate with SEC highest position and now he wiggled his tail and tamed by them. He's no longer credible with what he is saying but still there are people who are believing his words. If the concern is just pump and dump, he's not the only source of it.

If your basis are popularity and the number of investors getting in, ethereum is still no match for bitcoin.

By the way, this will just start an endless debate, to those that loves ethereum it will be ETH as their pick and to those who loves bitcoin like me, I'll pick bitcoin.

If it's a lending platform that's an obvious ICO scam, most of these ICO that disguised as that platform turned out to scam quickly.

Don't just believe when someone says "This project has the potential and has a great team." Make your own assessment and judgement, it's your money not theirs.

Thank you for calling me stupid, yes I do.

Then would you mind to tell us on who's the most accurate person/group (except bank, Wall St. folks, "an expert") that controls the price of bitcoin so we can tell them that they shall start pumping it.

Most of your posts are against bitcoin.  

Not only about electroneum but each altcoin that is being seen to be pumped are getting hyped by it's community.

AFAIK it's just a simulation that make it looks like you're really mining but you are not. If you are mining for daily living, this doesn't suit your lifestyle.

It might be on top 100 but it's still tentative and it can get out of it.

I'm one of those people that are patiently waiting for the bull to come. I had sold some at losses and I don't regret it due to some need in real world.
For those smart traders that recovered somehow from their losses are working very hard on it. They do day trade with some altcoin that has large volume where they can easily sell and buy with those coins and later will get the profit from bitcoin to add to their cold wallet.
