It doesn't mean you will get scammed, expect the one that you eventually spend money on, a lot of them are obvious waste of time, majority of them though, certainly their are ways to at least ensure you don't waste your time participating in those ones that won't reward your efforts, particularly most Google forms

Crypto requires some patience and time and that's why it is advised to never participate with money that is of urgent need, if one had invested earlier and haven't sold till now, it won't be wise to sell at such a huge loss except where where one is sure of another good investment that can return the loss, else wait till market returns, may require a longer wait though

This is just the funny reality, for anyone who is currently loaded in fiat should just be buying gradually as price drops, certainly the Bulls will someday appear

It's value needs to move up again for it to remain king, it has fallen so much that a lot of developers are somehow losing confidence in the coin, I would agree it is the king of ICO's because it habours majority of the smart contracts and project, but if care is not taken EOS will take over

It was a wide speculation when eth had jumped to over $1000 with fast transactions and mass adoption, it was expected that it will take over btc but I wasn't among those that believed it will, now I think Btc has been vindicated, eth still remains an altcoin that not yet matured to withdstand market pressures, BTC remains the king, go check its dominant factor among altcoins, over 58% of total marketcap

Participating in airdrops and bounties gives one a better understanding and an opportunity to learn more about the ICO's and what they offer, their activities and success potentials.... The campaign period will help you keep an eye on the coin to know about where it is heading to, at the end of the day, one can make a better judgment and recommendations for investing.

I have equally given the same thought, as most tokens when launched are launched against eth trade pair in exchange, so in turn the etherium is sold in the exchange for btc and cash out, Still trying to find other reasons

Quite a lot of persons have started earning a living with the help of cryptocurrencies, It is not just only about bounties and airdrops, I know someone that got involved in one crypto referral program and was able to refer a lot of persons and his bonus was enough to start him a business, Crypto is a blessing

I don't think too much about it, I just think about the worst case scenario and console myself, get my mind busy with something else and get happy. Have had a lot of sad experiences with handling crypto and I think I have learnt to manage it, even in trade it is adviced to never go allow in at all times, that way one will be able to manage portfolio without regret

Having sold my coins at almost 20% loss and eventually see them pump over again the next day, Very painful, I would have been patient but again, the emotions was high, but my worst experience have been to have held some quantity of hydro from around $200 and it pumped to over $3000 in a matter of days only for me to wake up the next day and see it dropped to more than half and eventually died further before I sold for around $600

Funny enough majority of the cryptos will eventually fade off, this is already happening as most coins get delisted from certain exchanges, the lose their trade value and eventually become worthless, as soon as the developers abandon the project, that is the end

The topic  is kind of misleading, have actually thought it would be coins that will always rise in value, unfortunately no coin nor altcoin is stable, the world fiat is just like having cashed out your money into your local bank, no value added nor removed.

In as much as btc wishes Eth badluck, I think this is way to high, $50 crash won't mean well for the coin, just like most alts depend on it and ICO developers, the trade pairs will equally surfer, eth may go down further but not to this level, I wish eth good luck

This is the most peaceful type of investment, just invest what you can afford to lose but the chances of very good profit are always high, to me any investment in crypto that should be tagged as long term should span a minimum of 2 years, I believe anyone that invests in bitcoin now and few other good coins will come back to enjoy the growth after some years

A little insight about how you achieved this would have been highly appreciated, however I suspect it would be via one of those ponzi schemes, you would be like I say cos no trader no matter how careful would have achieved that in such a short period, however If I were you I would invest a certain amount into a physical investment or project, some into learning, search and invest in few altcoins for long term convert some to fiat and leace the rest in btc

I think the market has a certain trend, what happens are typically market realities, Inflations are caused by demands and supply, once supply is low and demands keep increasing, certainly price will go up, crypto had very huge rune up due to huge demand as a lot of positive news also were in support of it's run, fast forward to early this year when demand became less and prices started falling, until it gets to a demand and supply equilibrium before the next shoot when demand will get higher again

Holding is not for everyone, if you cannot afford to be looking at your portfolio and be seeing the price going down and be able to hold strong then you take the exit until you are sure of market returns, a lot of persons make this mistake, you must not hold if you are not strong, I almost fell ill last time when I saw my portfolio drop more than 50%

Of course it is expected that most projects will fold up, may not necessarily be due to scam just that a lot may not withstand the competition, coupled with the bear market, it is hard to survive, Most real companies fold up during recession and such is expected in crypto, the developers may abandon it due to lack of fund or market challenges

At such moments it is better to divide your portfolio and probably stay keep 1/3 in bitcoin and some alts while the rest be in fiat, once after the period have elapsed, if the etf decision becomes positive you will have something at least to gain from what you have bought and if it goes the other way, you will have enough fiat to buy the drip, either way, you win

I believe that crisis time has to do with serious downtrends, there are certain ways to handle it, If you are good at analyzing charts, it is best to study when best comfortable to take an exit, it is always the right path
