Thank you for this thread, I am sure it is useful for lots of people, it makes us think and calm down. We have been waiting for a long time now, and some people just have no patience left, but it's so silly to leave crypto now, after all this time waiting for a change. I suggest we help and encourage each other to stay strong))

I agree with you, there are lots of scam projects out there, but there are also projects who just fail to achieve their goals and fail to follow their plan according to some problems that occur on the way. But it's not fait to call them scam, because they try hard to succeed.

For me, icodrops.com is a very useful source with upcoming projects, with all the necessary information. At first, I choose several projects there, according to the information they offer and after that I make my own research.

I use icodrops.com to surf for a project to invest or for a bounty to participate. There is also a telegram channel that sends notifications in order to help you in finding a project.

Oh)) I saw the date of this post and it made me smile)) If only we knew then that in almost in half a year nothing really has changed, hopefully, we'll witness some improvements by the end of the year...

I really hope, you, guys are right, but, frankly, I am getting sick and tired from this waiting and holding situation.

I really doubt that all the altcoins will survive this "great crypto depression". So at least the half of it will disappear forever, and I don't think there will be lots of mourning. That's why I don't really trust altcoins and I don't choose them for long-term investments, I learn from my mistakes..

I think it totally depends on a currency you are willing to buy, but, as for me, I prefer participating in ICO, the price is much better than buying it for exchange price. But it's riskier, because you can't be one hundred per cent sure, you will see your money again, but the situation is pretty much the same with all kinds of investments.

I would say there are too many ICOs that don't deserve to exist, that's for sure. And, unfortunately, there are only a few worthy projects. The market situation is very tough for almost every project now, for both good projects and not good ones. I really hope it's going to improve and we'll get the profit we deserve.

I totally agree with you, especially about the idea of limited number of bounty participants. This is so fair, I respect bounty campaigns with such attitude.

That is a reasonable explanation, I totally agree.

In addition, I would say that people are loosing their interest in altcoins, well, definitely in the old ones.

My purchase of NEO turned out to be a nice move, I bought it in order to participate in a couple of ICOs, and saved some money, because the ethereum decreased. I think, investing in NEO at this very moment might be a profitable move.

Making investments is a risky way of getting profit, that's for sure. And crypto investments can be described as the riskiest ones. Crypto os volatile, not stable, not regulated. No wonder, it's risky to put money in it, but on the bright side is the opportunity to earn a nice amount of money.

I don't think it's a nice idea to buy them at the moment. It's tough for altcoins to recover from such dump.

I am pretty aware of the fact that this "shouting' name of the thread was created specially for making people furious))
My only advice to the author, if you think ICO and bounties are stupid, don't participate in them. You can invest your money in BTC, and live happily ever after.
Why bother posting about such stupid things?
You were talking about hero and legendary accounts wth low quality posts. So you are welcome to become an example of your own, cause being a senior member and creating similar to a dozen other threads can also be considered as a low quality forum behaviour

All kinds of predictions cannot be 100% trusted, but there are some characteristics and indexes that can help to predict. But it is definitely not the only thing you need to focus one, while choosing the strategy.

According to my experience, bitcoin and ethereum are the only investments good enough for long-term holding. The rest of the tokens are just getting less valuable. And at this very moment I have lots of tokens that I don't know what to do with..Like rivets, comsa, zonto, etc. So from now on, I am not going to hold anything but ethereum and bitcoin.

Investment in ICO is a great way to earn money. We all know that it's challenging to choose the right project, this is why the risk is high. But if you find the right ICO, you can earn a lot. For instance, Quark chain. This project had a great result.

I participate in bounty campaigns, but usually they are bitcointalk bounties. I feel very insecure about translations, it is a very time-consuming and hard work. I don't thin that there are some clear instructions on how to choose a worthy project. But to avoid scam you need to look at their website, whitepaper roadmaps, ann and bounty threads, for sure. And you need to analyze it if it looks real. And for sure, you need to look it in some sources like icodrops.com.

I am sure the lack of information definitely effects the situation. Some people get some knowledge about crypto, and they sell everything if the price goes down and quit))
