Celebrities in cryptocurrency market doesn't interest me. Also persons like McAfee that wants to affect the whole market. It is clear that celebrities gets paid to promote projects.

I think bounty hunters wants to keep their privacy. Their identity is even more important than anything else. In my opinion KYC should only be for investors and not for bounty hunters. I wouldn't join any Bounty that requires KYC only to get the rewards.

I will check first the purpose and use-case of the project. Then I will visit their website and analyze their whitepaper and roadmap. A competent team is also important for me. Finally I will find out who will be the bounty manager.

Definitely not all Initial Coin Offerings are trash. There are still some new projects with good and innovative ideas. But there were also scam projects and others that were not worth to invest.

The presentation of ICO are very professional. Beginning from the website, white paper, road map, social media. So it is difficult whether the ICO is legit or scam. It requires always a lot of research. Better to buy the altcoin after exchange listing.

I would only recommend to invest in projects that already have a working product. That will attract many potential partners and investors.
Modum and Smart Containers got for example working products.

If you want to invest in a crypto with a strong team, active developments and already finished products.. I would suggest you to analyze PAL Network (PAL). They are supported by Paypal and have partnerships with NEM, Medibloc, Ergo. PAL Network will develop insurtech products for Toyota Tsusho and Allianz Malaysia.

In my opinion it is just the beginning of cryptocurrency industry. Many projects are still in development and need some time. This market is especially for cryptocurrency enthusiast and believers. And I have a strong believe in the blockchain technology and will not panic.

At the moment it depends on the ICO. But it is difficult to find that ICO which is still worth investing. You should first analyze the whole project beginning with the team behind the company and their purposes. Often it is better to buy the tokens cheaper after exchange listings.

I don't listen anymore to any selfmade experts. The predictions for end 2018 were all wrong. In my opinion we will see upward movements in next year with the third bitcoin halving in May 2020.

I think we will only see strong upward movements in next year with the third bitcoin halving in May 2020. I don't expect too much regarding ETF, BAKKT etc. and will not see a bitcoin bullrun like in 2017.

Another possibility to earn coins without investing money is by participating in bounties like signature campaigns, social media works in facebook,
twitter or making translations. Mining means also investing money in mining equipment and electricity.

It is already difficult to find a legit ICO within a few minutes. You need to invest some more time to analyze everything. First I check the purpose of the project and the team behind the company. Also their website, whitepaper, social media like facebook, twitter and telegram.

In my view early investors with high bonuses and also bounty hunters dump their coins after listing on exchanges. But it depends on the bounty pool and how high the bonuses was for the investors.

In my opinion there will be a high demand of decentralized exchanges in the year 2019. Peoples don't like manipulations and fake volume.
Also the problems with centralized exchanges of being hacked, stolen funds or required KYC.

It is now a good time to buy altcoins of promising projects with real-world use case while the price is cheap. I will add more altcoins of DBC, VLD, PAL
and will hold for long term.

It depends on the ICO. It is really important to analyze first the whole project before investing. Beginning with the team, their goal, whitepaper, roadmap, marketing, social media, community etc. But often it is better to get the tokens much cheaper after exchange listing and without any KYC.

After a long time of researches and analysis my 5 promising altcoins in which I am invested are:

Waves
Cindicator
Modum
Smart Containers
Pal Network

But there are still some other nice and promising projects with great potential.

The most important and golden rule of investing is never make an investment if you can not afford a total loss. Regarding to cryptocurrencies it is also a great advice. You have to take the risk if you enter the cryptocurrency market. Stay cool and be patient. Make your own reseachers. Don't listen to any panik maker.
