i think Uniswap Airdrop token (uni) is currently the biggest Airdrop in the history of cryptocurrency. to drop a whopping sum of $450,000,000 IS Something so huge. i stand to be corrected if i am wrong. i believe that the every successful project does not care about dumpers that will dump token after sales or distribution. 40% of the successful participants in the Uni airdrop dumped their rewards in the exchange and it is interesting that the price never went below 3usd.

this is to tell you that a successful project needs no market manipulation to drive volume. it is simple. develop a token, have a very good use-case and watch your project thrive in the market. 

[MIGHT]

For the newbies in this community, we can,t stress out the fact that no amount of topic created here will change current events but if you apply simple guidelines, you MIGHT(i have reasons writing that particular word in caps). earn some rewards at the end. we are faced with Myriads of disappointments from projects conducting campaigns.
The toxicity here is quite same we experienced in our society and workplace. where workers are treated as if they have no lifeline. No hope. campaigns will kick off with BMs pleading and pleasing hunters. promising and dishing out out praises to campaigns members with sure payments immediatelywithout strings attached. (INCOMPLETE Sentence)

BOUNTY ENDS, projects becomes successful. suddenly everything changes. from the team turning into vampires and lashing out to BMs. treating them like mere servants. abandoning their terms and conditions initiated in the first place and dishing out New conditions like'we will make payment immediately after we list on exchange.(you are not yet sure). then, the BM transferring his aggression down to the hunters as if they are slaves.
the ordeal continues from one lies to another untill hunters and even BM sometimes becomes frustrated that they have little or limited option.it is with regrets to say that No amount of article written to accuse team of not paying hounters will change the mindset of investors as long as the project is successful. also, it is sometime to note that most new projects these days prefer creating their own forum or use other social media to community with their members. they never cross this platform.

i can go on and write or share views , just like other members here on what hunters passes tru here on this platform but that will never be enough. so if you are interested in hunting for bounties. it pays if you managed to work for a trusted and sincere team that understands how this space works and knows that even bounty hunters are part of the community. i know hunters that have not only campaign for projects but also invested a huge amount of their money because of the love and interest shown by the team behind the project and also the gradual successful development.

Also , i will not call out projects but if we can truly find a solution to this unending bounty campaign issues. this space will be fair. i thank the admins here for their hard work in fishing out fake campaigns and branding accounts with fake trusts. it is commendable.

Kindly assist a fellow that is new in the field of DEFI. The crypto market have come alive due to the Defi boom recently sweeping across all the blockchains. from ethereum to TRON. i wish to request if fellow bitcoin members can point me to links where i can read and understand about Yield farming and how it works and quality platforms that can be trusted to participate in.
Hopefully, replies here will be useful. if your platform is not trusted, please refrain from dropping it here. i believe other members might find interesting topics here as well.

With the current situation of things in the ethereum blockchain. i think the ethereum has gain much value and adoption with the rate at which the DEFI markets are gaining attention. Uniswap exchange, the number one leading exchange in terms of ethereum token trading volume has made tremendous update where blockchain projects and DEFI  can list their own markets(list tokens and their trade pairs) within the UNISWAP platform. such introduction will continue to increase as  the DEFI market continues to dominate.

With the recent situation, i don't think in any way that the gas fees will ever go down and we might see ethereum prices hit 1000 again.

it is obvious that over 80% of all authentic defi projects are in profits and any investors that have invested in this sector is already in profit. it is obvious that it is also behind the current bull market. a proper observation in the market shows that the crypto trading aspect has been divided. between bitcoin, normal altcoins and defi token which are altcoins too. i think the defi era has come to stay and will dominate for along period just like how traditional banking has evolved and change how money is been utilized.
I see the Defi sector as the Savior and promoter of crypto which will lead to the massive adoption which we all yearn for. 

I think that a certain percentage of crypto investors spend most of their time on crypto websites like coinmarketcap, coingecko to check out current price without proper verification to know the actual trading price of the token. some use these websites to invest or choose a token to buy without proper research.
A little observation shows that top 500 to 1000 coins, although most are scams are fill with current and active tokens with values WHILE from 1000 and below are tokens that are no longer viable, scams and dead projects.

I will like to thank the admins in this platform for their tremendous efforts in raiding dubious and greedy bounties been conducted on this platform. the fight to ban accounts and tag scandalous admins really worked out. it is a win win for those that work hard to hunt new campaigners with fake projects, plagiarist whitepapers and website copy cats. Although the fight is not over. we say thank you for the Job well done and ask for that you guys continue with your job. 

Every now and then, accounts get liquidated in cryptocurrencey trading. this happens whenever there is a sudden bull market and when price drop suddenly, funds are liquidated. most people called it Consolidating.
I wish to ask, what happens to the funds that was liquidated in such situation. the trading platform collects it OR it is won by other accounts that was not liquidated.
i need answers please. FUNDS THAT WERE LOST DURING TRADING, MOST ESPECIALLY When prices drop goes where?

Gone are the days when a token will list below 0.5 ,1USD OR 5USD. and gradually sells pass the 100usd price mark. such was expected during the early days of cryptocurrencies(2017,2018)  it is obvious that altcoins have a bench mark price range of 1usd to 20usd currently. with the current rate of increase in the number of cryptocurrencies, WHAT IS THE Possibilities of seeing a project listing at a price range of 1 to 10 usd get to 100 to 200 usd price mark. is this possible, shall we ever see projects like ETH, BCH,BSV AND THE top crypto currencies hit the 500 usd price mark again.

Many atimes we see loads and loads of airdrops and bounties from ethereum platform. it begs to ask, why are other top big projects in the crypto ecosystem like NEO, TRON, NEM, STELLAR, currently  Ada, tomochain , waves and other not encouraging start ups in their platform to conduct bounties and airdrops.
could there be other platforms where these guys choose to run their campaign. IF so. someone should inform them they are missing out.
i will like to inquire on how to reach out to these blockchain project on how they support and advertise new projects in their platform.
NOTE:
Expect Tron. sorry, i just don't Tron. i think he is kleptomaniac.

[presence , acceptance and attention]

We can never never stop writing about the tribulation and pains of hunters in this forum. what they passed through the hands of New projects here. some times, we blame bounty managers, other times the project owners. whoever it is, please go ahead and pour out your anger. it is not new here that some new crypto startups wants presence , acceptance and attention. the first place to ask for that is always Here, Next is social Media.
Once such target is achieved, the true identity of some of these projects appeared.
They abandoned the people and platform that gave them such fame. some will ignore questions as about the campaign. Forgetting that it takes time to build a solid ground in anything. when the project dumps, they ran back here creating a ridiculous campaign with peanuts as payment. claimingWE ARE LISTED ON "A" and "B" shit exchange therefore come help us rebuild.

For bounty hunters, Most new projects that got listed on better exchanges HARDLY organize bounties these days. check CMC listing home page and you will be surprised with new projects arriving everyday without any trace of them conducting Airdrops, talk more of Bounties. some will put it out clearly, NOT AIRDROPS.

SO if you happen to join any bounty that pays and you sold out with a favorable price at the market. YOU ARE SO LUCKY. enjoy while it last because some got nothing after the hunt. some got disappointed and frustrated that they abandoned everything. 

It looks like the scam pump and dump price call by some gullible scammers has taken a new dimension. Since DEX exchanges has given token owners right to utilize their platform to exchange their tokens. So scammers has decided to use such opportunity to scam greedy ones by calling a price action of shit token not even listed on the Dex.

The scandalous aspect affecting crypto is taking a new perspective. the call was made on twitter and when followers made inquire about the token, it was discovered that the token was shit and NEVER Even listed on the exchange. the caller quickly deleted the post to avoid getting ban.
everyone needs to be careful here to avoid someone selling a DEAD project token acquire with less dollars to you with hopes that the project is making huge progress.

UPDATE: The account with the call on twitter is @uniswapcalls and the token called was 'amplar protocol'. a shit coin. probably sold to him/her by another scammer. the token has no telegram channel or website. No details but he claims that the token is huge in china.
FAKE CALLS. AVOID Such and be careful out there.

[BUT]

i came across a post on medium about Energi project that fought very very hard to recover their funds that was stolen by a crypto scammer on discord. i think the guy worked with them but looted their account and disappeared Or he stole a huge amount of token form the project using his tricky method.
The point here is that the energi team went into investigation to crack down the scammer and they made a tremendous success discovering the scammer. the energi project i believe are into cybersecurity as part of their project.

So, the post made a huge point that most altcoins we see today are really good BUT it is unfortunate, they fell into the wrong hands of scammers that might post as good guys but have a devlish intention just like the scammer. some young projects disappeared not as a result of funds or activities but are affected by scams. most project died down when the people they trusted and believed to built a solid project suddenly turn to devil.
BUT this does not mean that scam project does not exit, they do. HONESTLY, There are projects out there with 100% intention to rob you but not all.
Some are good but fall during  the process and has no option than to pull out.

for those interest, you can read up the post. i found it interesting.

[FAST RESOLUTION]

Ethereum remain the best and first smart contract project to be introduced on the blockchain platform. respect to that but i think it is high time they figure out on how to deal with high gas issues. this has lingers for over 3 months. so many payments are pending OR are been delayed due to high fees. what are the possible solution to FAST RESOLUTION of ethereum gas fees whenever it goes High.

Honestly, i use to be a big fan of cryptocurrency and a partaker in Bounties and Airdrops. this lead to the habit of checking my wallet daily for airdrops that has paid and bounties too.
 the recent scams and poor projects littering the cryptospace refusing to pay hunters and affected that habit. for months, i have checked and Nothing has dropped.
seriously, I am loosing the habit. i can go two weeks without checking my wallet.

I must say that since this year, i have not received more than 3 tokens in my wallet 
What is the essence of checking. Nothing is there. No need.

i think the crypo world has clamored for this situation for a while. A world where the fiat system is no-longer stable. if not mistaken, i will say that the world is heading into a  serious health crisis with what is happening in china, italy, spain and other parts of the world. many countries has promised their citizens of enough fiat funding printing more fiat money to support themselves. 
What is the cryptocurrency family doing to support their own community at this perilous time.

will you continue with bitcoin talk forum if all Merits is been withdrawn and all accounts are tagged with the same identityMembers. What will become of bitcointalk forum.
i am beginning to suspect that most reasons why people are here is to earn merits and compete in bounty campaigns.

Are there ways to Earn cryptocurrencies apart from the normal Airdrops and bounty.  i have tried trading, was not successful as i though. i never loose much bit i still have funds and portfolio. i am a long term trader. also, i participated in AMA with exchanges and cryptocurrency exchanges but they payments are not favorable.
there are sites that offered to pay in cryptocurrenies. the fees are not affordable.

As a result of the current world crisis regarding the pandemic virus spread that have ravaged the world and still not stopping. this has affected global markets including stocks, fortunes, commodities, oil prices. everything is crashing. a lot of accounts has been liquidated on trading platform. within two weeks. billions has dissappeared due to current virus crisis.

As long as this persist, we are not sure how long the market will survive. there is little hope. everyone needs to be careful. when to move funds. Most countries are already in deflection. the situation is making matters worst. it looks like the end of the world.
Honestly, 2020 was not what we all expected. 

There are over 7000 cryptocurrencies currently trading on different exchanges. most of these cryptos have public members that are known to many while some have hidden members behind the project which are red alert for investors.
Could there be any cryptocurrency currently exiting without having a post here on Bitcointalk. I know there are many that have not updated their thread due to scam.
