No rating agencies and promoted sites will replace the existing system of promotion of ICO projects with the participation of bounty hunters. This type of advertising project ICO most effective. Of course, everything changes and the activity of the ICO is no exception. Perhaps something will change in the system of remuneration of persons engaged in the promotion of this type of activity. However, rating campaigns will not want to receive payment for their labor in new tokens, especially in large volumes. Therefore, ICO teams will need bounty hunters.

Good or bad for a coin holding a rigid fork with the advent of a new coin, one cannot say for sure. This is one of the main ways of developing and improving cryptocurrency. If the development of a certain cryptocurrency is stalled for any reason, then hardfork is one way out of this situation. In any case, I do not think that forks harm cryptocurrency. Users always have the choice to use an old or new coin.

No government requires ICO teams to conduct KYC checks against ICO bounty campaign participants. Such an audit can only be carried out in relation to investors. This is a contrived problem for bounty hunters. Such a check creates only one problem for us, because practically no ICO team at the initial stage indicates which data they want from us. We have to constantly read their telegram, spend a lot of time on various coordination of ambiguities, because there is no single form for passing KYC checks and each ICO team comes up with its own. Because of this, we spend our time and a lot of nerves, and since the KYC check is always postponed to the end of the ICO, for many it turns out that their work was free because many people could not provide certain required data. For example, I live now at the wrong place of my registration and cannot provide some of the required documents. The KYC check in this case acts as another form of fraud.

No thorough research of ICO projects can save us from fraudulent ICOs. Recently this was once again witnessed by the ICO DESICO project, which apparently looked like a good project, but turned out to be a fraud. Their team simply stated that it would not pay bounty hunters for services. The only way out of this situation is the state regulation of ICO activities. Only state bodies with certain powers can save us from fraudsters in the ICO.

I hope that in the coming 2019 we will see the beginning of the state regulation of ICO activities, without which ICO will not be able to regain its popularity. No self-regulation here will not help. Scammers will ignore any rules we set. Here you need to establish clear rules of the game with certain rights and obligations of each of the parties. We also need a general rise in the cryptocurrency market, without which the ICO also cannot develop normally. However, so far no one knows when the cryptocurrency market will be ready for big growth.

ICO projects such as DESICO disgrace the very essence of ICO activities. It is necessary to think over what needs to be done so that this will not happen again and that this campaign nowhere else can deceive people. Those of the participants who suffered from this fraudulent team and live in the country of its registration need to be reported to the police about such fraud. Such crimes should not go unpunished.

The ripple coin will have a good success in the banking sector and therefore will always be in demand. However, among the cryptocurrency, it should not be a success and, moreover, should not occupy a leading position in cryptocurrency. This is a very peculiar centralized coin and must be treated very carefully.

In the second half of the already-left 2018, ethereum was undeservedly lowered in price and subjected this coin to false accusations. Now it's nice to see that at last this coin grows well in price, even compared to bitcoin. Today, ethereum increased in price by four percent, ripple by five, and ethereum by as much as twelve. Of course, the upcoming improvements to this coin in mid-January are of great importance here.

The impudence  of the ICO teams now have no boundaries. Previously, the scammers simply disappeared, and now they themselves already blame bounty hunters for the fact that they, it turns out, worked for this team for free. When the ICO signature campaign worked, everything was fine, there were no complaints about the bounty hunters. ICO's signature campaign ended November 07th. Only after a long time after the end of the ICO, claims began just to avoid paying for the work. What can be said: general contempt for the DESICO team. So normal people should not behave. This is a scam.

Cryptocurrency did not appear in our world for a short time. We expect its very long existence. Therefore, it will never be late to join its use. On the contrary, the sooner this happens, the better. Knowledge of cryptocurrency is very extensive and they are constantly changing. Cryptocurrency is developed and improved at a very fast pace. Even those who constantly work with her sometimes do not have time to cover everything. Therefore, the sooner you enter the world of cryptocurrency, the better.

Now there is a normal development of cryptocurrency. Since the cryptocurrency is decentralized and everyone has the ability to create coins or tokens, this process will be accompanied by the appearance of useless or simply fraudulent types of cryptocurrencies. This is absolutely normal and you should not worry about it. Over time, only promising and popular types of cryptocurrency will remain on the market, all the rest will be forgotten and will never appear on the market again.

I do not see anything wrong in the fact that each state creates its own centralized cryptocurrency. It will be the same national money, only in the digital shell. They should increase the popularity of the entire cryptocurrency as a whole, as people will see that the states support the general idea of cryptocurrency.

I am absolutely sure that the upcoming ethereum improvements, which are scheduled for January 16, will significantly strengthen the position of this coin. However, this will not appear immediately, but as the cryptocurrency market recovers. Especially, I expect the promised improvements in throughput of Ethereum of several hundred thousand transactions per second, instead of the current fifteen transactions per second. I would also like to see other improvements.

Bitcoin capitalization is too high and unattainable for now for any cryptocurrency. Ethereum can beat Bitcoin in terms of capitalization only in one case - when Bitcoin capitalization drops dramatically. Theoretically and practically it is quite possible. If Bitcoin would now be in good condition, it would hardly be possible to merge it with ethereum now and form a new coin called bithereum.

Cryptocurrency is not devoid of meaning. This is technology and it works. Until. While many believe in it, because this technology is based on trust. Any business must operate with a certain degree of trust. Without trust it is impossible to enter into agreements and have a profit. However, any other business is material. Cryptocurrency is almost entirely a virtual world, and we only commit transactions using material methods. All this is possible, because in the cryptocurrency economy, finance, technology are implicated on trust and logic. Cryptocurrency for those who can and knows how to take risks.

You are absolutely right. Headhunters are not clients of the ICO team because they do not invest in these projects. Using KYC checks for other purposes is arbitrariness, misuse of the ICO team. Moreover, each of us must have the right to choose to participate in the KYC verification or not. Not everyone can pass the KYC test. For example, I cannot provide documents confirming my residence at the place of registration, because I live in another place. Such circumstances may be many. If the KYC check is carried out at the end of the ICO or after its completion, it turns out that I will work for many months, and in the end I will not be paid anything. This is actually a scam.

It is very difficult to predict the price movements of cryptocurrencies right now. Even in its history there were no such situations. Some predict its fall, others, on the contrary, its growth. Let's calmly watch what happens next. The period of Christmas and New Year holidays is a period of expected miracles. Let's just hope for a miracle.

Because governments not only do not need a cryptocurrency, it seriously interferes with its work. First of all, no government can control the decentralized cryptocurrency. It seeks to control our whole life, and here there are things that are not controlled, all the more related to finances. Cryptocurrency violates the normal operation of banks and the state’s economy in general. This was clearly stated by the Chinese government and this is one of the main reasons why they are hostile to cryptocurrency. I think that these two reasons are enough for governments to treat cryptocurrency not quite well.

I don’t know what kind of coin it is, but in any case it’s not worth investing all your money into just one coin, no matter how good it is.
In addition, it seems to me that this situation is contrived and this is just a kind of advertisement for this coin.

We are all tired of such a large number of frauds that are now among ICO projects. This activity has long been necessary to regulate and now countries such as Japan, Russia, Germany, France, Australia are preparing their own rules governing the activities of the ICO. I can not say for other prepared rules, but I liked the ones that exist in Russia. If they take action, it is unlikely there will be at least one fraud. It provides for all collections of funds through banks, and regulatory authorities will control even the targeted use of the collected funds.
