2019 has been a year with mixed feelings for crypto enthusiasts. A lot of bounty hunters have now switched over to trading, because bounty is no longer profitable.
Some have combined the two (both bounty and trading), while larger percentage are still into bounty, despite not being profitable.
I envisage that in two to three years to this time, the population of people on bounty will reduce drastically, because it will no longer be profitable as it used to be.

I strongly doubt if there is any other alt. that can surpass ethereum. They may all try to, just like XRP tried, but do not have what it takes to transcend ethereum. The most established altcoin i have ever seen or come across is eth. No mater how it falls, it will still continue to maintain its position. Some were afraid when eth was plummeting and they though the end has come again, but just barely few weeks, eth picked up again. I am just trying to imagine how glorious the future of eth would be.

What works for Mr A, might not work for Mr B. You need to discover your spot in life. That crypto doesn't work for you, does not mean it is bad or that it will crash.
I have heard and read about some people who left crypto because of one unforeseen circumstance or the other.
Cryptocurrency can be very interesting,most especially for those who understand the principles behind it.
There are different areas of crypto you can explore. Learn more about it. If none works for you (of which i believe one will definitely work for you), try to look for another cool spot in life that will work perfectly well for you.
