Hi. I have not yet tried to invest in ICO but I have already earned from it by joining in their airdrops. Doing their task makes me earn token and those task are promoting their project. As part of the community, helping the project in promoting their ICO makes the value of the token increase. And those token I've earn can trade them and earn fiat. That's how I earn money from ICO.

Hi. Giving your information to a project that is unknown makes me think twice for you're giving them a chance to use your information. But if you trust the project and its value is worth it, maybe you can do the KYC. I believe some trusted projects asking KYC, uses authenticator to keep safe your information.

Hi. If you find a campaign that does not follow their rules when to give airdrop, then maybe you should think twice if you continue to that project or find a better one. As far as I know, when the manager said that the airdrop will be given this coming saturday or friday, then expect to receive airdrop. Sometimes the distribution are delay but not too long as long as 1day delay or 2days maximum is acceptable exceeding of that is questionable.

Hi. For now, I am saving my ETH for long term investment. I am still gaining ETH by joining in some bounty projects which requires erc20 and wait for the coin to mature before I convert to ETH. As of now, I am still collecting tokens so that when the time comes, I will convert them into ETH.

Hi. I can't determine who are the scammers project but I prefer in finding which I think legit project by determining the moderators of the project. This way I can eliminate projects which I think only a scam. Actually, we cannot determine which one is a scam or not but the best way to do is acquire more projects so that it will not waste your time for waiting and the chance of have a scam is little. Sometimes you will know which are scam in the long run by instincts of determining them.

Hi. In terms of safety, I think it is much safer in the bank you trust. Compared to cryptocurrency, the value is fluctuating and we will never know when it goes up or down. It is still safe in bank because of it is far from hackers. Once the money was stolen in your wallet, then you will not recover it anymore. But if your money was stolen in the bank, there is a chance that you can still recover your money from the bank. The disadvantage is that the interest in the bank is too small compared to cryptocurrency where sometimes it doubles your savings. It depends in you which one is better, the risky choice or the safer one.

I don't think all bounty hunters dump their tokens after they receive the reward because real bounty hunters know how to wait and hold their token. Real bounty hunters knows that when their holding more, they will receive more compared to other who dumps their token. Bounty hunters dump their token if they know that the project is not progressing anymore.

Hi. You are right that many projects now are failing but it does not mean that ICO is not profitable. The cause of failing projects are sometimes lack of development and advertisement. If you want to invest, then find a project where mods and members are active just to promote the project. If you find one, surely your investment will earn.

Hi. For me, bounty hunters is not a job but an extra income out of your salary. Bounty hunters sometimes requires effort to do the task same like you are doing in your job but for a job is a stable work with have a security of tenure in your life. I don't say that bounty can't give you security as long as you know how to handle but it is not stable same as with your work.

Airdrop is a simple way of rewarding to those members who participate in their task to help promote the project. It is easy to earn in airdrop as long as you complete their requirements for a specified airdrop. Requirements are changeable so it is very important to monitor their rules and announcements for changes. And the other thing is be active to their group. I hope these may help you in joining airdrops.

Yes. It is truly airdrops are worth it especially we did all the tasks so that we are eligible to accept airdrop. Some of those people who are complaining about fake airdrops are sometimes those people are always complaining in projects that are not accepted in airdrop because of some missing task not done. But there are also truly fake airdrops which I think we can also determine by researching their projects and development. If you are expert in finding airdrop, you can determine which is fake and worth it airdrop.

Hi. I don't think altcoins can be a threat to bitcoin for even many ICO projects revolving nowadays, bitcoin is still the reference of those altcoins. I think there is no effect in bitcoin even there are many altcoins are growing and those altcoins that cannot compete the trend of bitcoin are sometimes slowly disappearing in the market.

I don't have any violent reaction with the new regulations of theymos with the enhanced newbie restrictions and requirements even I was demoted. It actually helps to minimize the garbage posers who just want to post so that they can join in an ICO project that requires jr. member rank or atleast +28 activities here.

One of the reasons why there are many garbage posers nowadays, it is because of that requirement, the +28 activities or at least jr. member required before eligible in an ICO project. Which I think new people in cryptocurrency misunderstood this requirement and create a lot of post just meet the requirement but still not eligible because of no quality post has done. I read some comments of members in a project who are complaining why they are still not accepted even they do MORE THAN 28 activities here bitcointalk, which means all post done are garbage post. I don't blame the Project Moderator and Administrator here, it's just that people didn't understand the rules that affects the forum of bitcointalk.

I understand that these new enhancement makes reduce the spammers even it affects us (good/quality posers) demoted.

I hope these new enhancement will be an eye-opener also to other members who have smerit to give/share their merit not only to high ranks but also to newbies (now) who makes good quality post here in forum. And lastly, this will be an open-mind and eye-opener also to newbies to create a post that has QUALITY and NOT QUANTITY, just to be eligible in a project that takes out the essence of this forum.

I think one of the reasons why bounty campaigns nowadays are extending because of only few are holding their coins and it makes their capital low. Once a project requires more advertisement so that more investors will invest, then the project manager thinks the only way to survive the project is to extend the campaign. Other cause are scam project that makes investors to think twice or more before they will get involve in s project. Which it makes the legit project are difficult to differentiate with the scam projects and it will make low soft cap in their ICO projects. These are only my opinion, I hope it will may help everyone here.

I have one project I joined before that's always asking to invest in their project and asking to buy some of their tokens. One of the scammers' attitude is always asking money and invest in their project. Then to determine if the projects are ok, I look for their members, moderator and admin which I think those who are successful in cryptoworld. Lastly, to their project itself if their project is near reality. I think these things may help to determine which are scammers.

Hi. Cryptocurrency gives us not only excitement but also stress. I know everyone will agree with me that some us are lack of sleep waiting for airdrop and do the required task just to have receive airdrop or bounty from the projects we join. But after all of these things, after we receive the reward, it gives us a relief from stress. All the sleepless nights we do is nothing and replace with joy. But even we do all the task and still we are not accepted to receive airdrop or bounty, it gives us nightmare that we cannot accept. But here, it is normal to have encounter such things. We will not become good here if we cannot experience those failure and move forward.

Hi. Some bounty hunters do sell their token immediately because they want easy money. But unfortunately only newbies in cryptocurrency doing that because those who are veteran in crypto are holding it for a while for a long term plan. Selling the token immediately means dumping the token that can affect also the price of the token.

Hi. Be calm is the best thing to do when the market is falling. Study the market of your token you hold if the value is fluctuating and the activities of the project why it causes to fall. Sometimes it falls because of the value of bitcoin or the market of the project is not worth it. If you think the project is active in the market but the value is still low, then keep it hold or buy more. But if the project you think has no progress even they have some activities doing, then maybe you think twice if you buy more or just hold only and find another project that is better.

Hi. In my opinion, bounty campaign should take seriously in terms of doing the task needed for the project so that we can earn. And it requires time to do the task so that you will not be skipped every time they give a reward. There is also limitation to take bounty campaign seriously for it will depends on the project you choose. Sometimes, we need to be vigilant in choosing a project before we give time in their bounty campaign for there are also scam project that will waste your time.

Hi. As far as a newbie, you are different from others for you have already bitcoin and altcoins. Before you give up of those coins for investment or trading, it requires you more to read, read and read. There are many topics here in bct which I think may help you and you can gain more from the advise of others which are more experience in cryptocurrency. Don't make yourself to fast track just reach others because those people gained and waited before just to earn much today. Be careful to those people who are spammers and scammers, many people will do to scam you so that they can earn. Welcome to the cryptoworld and good luck!
