If you have some altcoins that can become kinde revolutionary in their field of activity and you own them from the very beginning - it is good asset, you can hold for a long term, but choose carefully.
If you want to invest your btc in some coins from the first 100 of coinmarcetcap top then I recommend you to hold bitcoin.
If you want to evade risks, also hold bitcoin. And remain calm till 2023

I have never participated in such bounty or airdrop but I think that KYC is the last thing that bounty hunter should do. I understand when airdrop participants wants to protect themselves from alts(even if there are tons of other ways, anyway).
But I totally don't understand why is it necessary to pass KYC for bounty participants.

It is always risky to by currencies from top-100 also
There were times when bitcoin was out of top. Just cuz there was no top, only bitcoin. And many people(I mean not many among all, many among those who knew about it in 2009-2011, imo) thought that this is risky to buy this electronic cash. Now they feel themselves much better
So yeah, it is risky, but think about what you can get

All these graphs don't make sense when somebody with big amount of money decides to enter the market and buy free bitcoins from those who sell 8k to get back in with 3k thanks to such guru predictors Which also don't specify their point of view only saying "just trust me", based on few trend lines. Come on. Who will allow bitcoin to go to 3k??

I wonder if I could buy Bitcoin in 2006, or maybe mine it with my rig with single calculator on Stop it pls
Speaking about topic - I hope you are not serious saying that crypto is dying. Just a year ago Bitcoin price was 3-4k now it is 8k and you are saying that crypto is dying. Come on

How can you calculate the future? If you have the method, share please, I will share share my profit with you with no doubt
Seriously, it is not the math thing in generally, but, as always, perfect combination of math and luck. And I think the proportion is 80/20, where calculation is the majority.
Those who can describe their investment decision in numbers only - they can loose when those who bought depending on currency's logo color can win. But it is much better to know your risks

The project is not bad, and maybe payment methods are comfortable(but who needs paypal when he can buy tokens with ethereum, anyway) but your investment strategy is very aggressive.
Many ICOs can freeze your assets for a long time for no reason(for example get listed on exchanges only after six moth or even more) or even never reach exchanges. Turn out fraud and more.
Why don't you buy tokens on exchange?

All these things that you just mentioned is not about hold but about trading. All depends on want you want to gain from holding. Many coins on the market are made for reason their creators want your bitcoin and your money. Also, you can easily say that bch will rise and you will gain more in btc. But what you will say if bch will go down and newer rise again? If you had 1 btc in bch equivalent and it became 0.1 btc?

First benefit of decentralized exchange - is full control of your assets. On centralized exchange you make a deposit and then you trade only numbers on the screen. When on dex you trade with real currency.
Second- is that you have no limits to trade. On centralized exchange you need to pass through verification to get higher limits when on dex you have none of them. Plus privacy, talking about verification.

No they are not investors. You are quiet correct that our time is our best resource, but for some people it is not such expensive asset. Investors are people who invest money in project to gain profit in time.
In that case people who work at their job also are investors because they invest their time to get money. This is incorrect.

Every single fast movement of bitcoin price is bad for altcoins. There are two reasons in two cases - when bitcoin falls the price of altcoin in usd equivalent also dips so many prefer to sell(bots doing it instantly). So the price of bitcoin dip, but altcoins dipper.
Then if bitcoin price rises instantly, many decide to close the orders in profit and it also causes the price dip, not in usd but in bitcoin equivalent. So this movements are very sensitive for alts

I can't say something positive or negative about project crowdholding directly, but the strategy of such bounty itself seems very perspective as for me.
I just look on DeepOnion which was kinda hype some time, and I really like the way they released their bounty tasks and rules. Maybe more project will act like this

Oh, I had experience with trading on poloniex, I used to use it in early spring last year, from that moment many things changed and I left this exchange.
But not a long time ago I logged in and I feel myself like in house with ghosts Only bots are trading here, no more people.
They just loose the remaining couple of people by acting like this imo

That is not instant money and you should understand it, better before joining every bounty campaign. Lets think in long term - you have an asset which wants to implement new technology and it will explode the market, just for example. But it need development. And it can be developed for 3-6-12 months, 2-3 years or more. And those who supported it in the beginning will wait this long to have a big gain.
And you are that person that enters the project even before the sale. So..
If you are talking about receiving tokens only - don't worry, you will get it soon, if not - the project is scam and you will be warned and other people too - it will lose it's authority. So nothing to worry about

You compared such different exchanges in this topic. First of all specify your goals - what type of trading you prefer.
Binance is a big exchange with huge daily volume. Here you can go if your deposit is near $100k and it will be perfect, you will be able to trade here. And there are popular coins. Binance is like the finish of exchange rally - if coin enter Binance it means that it can't turn out scam or something like that.
But on Binance you will not find altcoins that can make you x100 in few months. Search for them on small exchanges. But it is risky, remember.

I think you are not correct, just because there are zero big investors that only believe in project. Maybe I, maybe you, community enthusiasts like us can send their money to ICO depending on their believe, but not big ones - is this a difference to lost $1000 in scam ICO or $300 000? So big investors join ICOs only if they know that they will get money, get profit, or at least they will get their money back. I think there is special special conditions for such participants.

And I think it is good to invest in ICO. If you have patience to choose the right projects of course. In that case your money goes to development of something new and helpful, and then you get money for your decision to be the first adept of this technology and this idea. So DYOR and invest.

If they want to prevent drug selling and tax evade they should activate structures that fight against drugs spreading and different tax services that should control all such money movement. Cryptocurrency is not the magic tablet and with lack of crypto there will not be lack of criminal.
Criminal uses dollar to money laundering, lets ban dollar, ok?
Terrorist uses toilets, lets ban them, ok?
There are other reasons for governments to ban crypto. And the main is possibility of crypto to equalize the difference between rich and poor people. They afraid of it. People become smart(imo), and this is a problem for them. So they "ban" the community this way. But what they are expecting from this action, or they would like to ban the whole internet lol

So much answers about this situation on this forum - maybe every who ask them think that all whales are sitting here, reading our topics and decide do dump if we buy and pump if we sell
Nobody knows what is going on. They all will be happy to explain it to you after the event, after something went clear. But now nobody can tell you the truth. Answering your question - there is no need to invest right now. You can miss the perfect point of enter, and you know why? Because it doesn't exist. Just wait till things turn great, and then buy. Or you will get higher risks to go dipper if you but now.

Yes it is. There is direct dependency between your forum rank and you reward from the signature bounty campaigns. Hero members gain in one week stakes equal to 3.5 weeks for junior member. So the reward will be x3.5.
Before this year the only thing that could up your rank was activity - if you write more than 14 posts every two weeks you will gain higher rank in some time.
But now we have merits - kinda likes. You can send and receive merits. But you cant send as much as you receive - 2 merits to you generate 1 merit that you can send to others.
Complex system. In two words - forget about getting higher rank on this forum. We all will have this ranks forever

There are some coins that need to be all amount on wallet, and there are some coins that need to be all amount on exchange. And all other coins you can divide partially, 40/60 for example.
Coins that should be in wallet should be long term investment. Because cold storage is much more safer. And there are coins that should always be on exchange. For example, BCN. When they pump it you can't send it to exchange.
But I recommend you cold storage if you don't trade
