If the person sending me ETH by mistake is on my address list like how I on his address list then I would send it back to him because I know him. If it was an unknown stranger, I don't like how that stranger would do.

Yes, IEO is still there so any new project even how legit they are, why would they consider doing ICO if they know how lack of trust for ICO from the community? I don't think ICO can make a return to the scene that easy as long there is IEO.

I agree with you about investor's skills but need to add one more thing. Pure skill alone without experience is lower your chance to make a good investment. To be a good investor need both skill to know what is a good crypto project and when to sell it to max your profit.

I saw too many projects even they're legitimate at the start but turn into a scam in the end because of bad development, lack of funds, or price going too low. Honestly, scam is like the final exist to a lot of bad projects and that's why a lot of people got scam easily.

Continuous development but still have a bad value on the market? Sound not very good. I know a coin also has continuous development but since that coin doesn't have a 'trending' feature so the price going nowhere. It is really up to you but if you already loss 3000$ to 4000$ and the chance to come back is slim, you should sell it.

Nothing is for free. Bounty hunters know the risk of their rewards can turn out to be worthless anytime if something bad happened to the project. This is why bounty hunters should choose bounty projects that is legit and don't lure by promising spreadsheet's rewards.

I took the liberty and check OP's name in Oikos's signature campaign round 1. His tron address registered in the spreadsheet is: TMYZQG8upeUBLLoBkJs4zkRwGokXzXngda
Link to the spreadsheet of Oikos's signature campaign round 1 is here: https://airtable.com/shroc7GWQ4fJgAAjq/tbl2BxmZuCS93Y1mc
Look like he indeed didn't receive the reward, 872 OKS for his two week stakes. I check his address on tronscan but it doesn't give back any result. Really weird.
Tho, Oikos has a legit bounty since I make sure they did give out the reward of round 1 before I participate in their signature campaign. Their reward spreadsheet is public and up for everyone to check. Maybe OP is really unlucky, his case somehow fell thru.

I haven't watch podcasts about crypto since 2019 so I can't say I could give you something up to date in 2020. I think there is some aggregator site that also listing number of podcasts so you could try from there. About the low cap crypto projects, don't! They are long gone from the prime day so you shouldn't invest in those kinds of niche coin in the crypto world.

True, even if he able to accumulate the coin when it was nearly dead and try to revive to maximize his gain in case the project survived and revived, I sure most new investors don't like to be in someone's coin where he already takes the majority of the circulating supply. Really, just take that dead coin's ideas or source codes and make a new coin on your own.

IEO doesn't have any significant impact or difference compare to ICO if the end-user is bounty hunters. Better, bounty hunters on IEO less likely become empty hand cause their reward at least have an exchange to sell, not like most ICO. Of course, a project with IEO can fail or try to exploit people. IEO doesn't mean safe-proof, risk-free so you should do your research properly.

Doubts are there because of the lack of knowledge. If they're in doubt meaning they haven't got enough information and this is very common for newbies. The door is always there no matter what the market has become. Till they get over their doubt with enough information and knowledge to invest, the door is never closed and just there, waiting for them.

It still too soon to say we're having a better future after surviving through covid19. Right now, we only receive the flow of investment cause as you said, traditional businesses are suffering so they have to turn to crypto investment but what happens after traditional businesses back to normal? No one knows for sure if they decide to stay or just leaving crypto all of sudden, hurting crypto.

Yes, the majority of people involved with crypto only because of its monetary value but I think that's fine. It's hard to push people to learn something new without any incentives and monetary is the most effective way to do it. I think slowly, people interested in crypto because of its monetary value will change to actually see there are more benefits and reasons behind crypto. How it will change our lifestyle, push businesses, human behaviors toward the future. Same for my case as I interested in crypto because its monetary value and changed how I see and want it to become mainstream payment systems.

Yes, your thinking is totally possible especially for some countries I know with the 'old school' type president. My country has the same 'old school' government official so I bet they did has some thought about whether should ban crypto or not. If it happens in my country, I think it will okay since I can move to the neighborhood country and work from there.

That is the reason why we have IEO and ICO are almost dead. One or two projects like OP said is nothing when everyone's trust for ICO has long gone. No one wants to back to the ICO day where we have to check every single claim coming from ICO. It was tiresome progress when IEO has every data you want to asset it at a good exchange.

Stabecoin is a must in a high and prone to volatile markets like cryptocurrency. Since the beginning, that was stablecoin's goal and so far, it filled the role as we have seen. Of course, it still has some flaws and downsize that make a number of crypto users don't trust it like you. To be fair, we just need to use it and care for nothing else.

Before, I think ETH will hit $400 this year, 2020. Since it hit that mark right now, so next will be $800 for this year. Slowly and gradually like that, not just like OP said he was an expert but don't give us any reason to justify his price mark $10,000 this year. Everyone likes ETH but we have to be realistic or else, fall for overhyping's bull trap.

Oh yes, I would never let myself down even when it was a best time to invest in crypto. Cause I know there are a few nearly abandoned projects but not because they still think they could make a last exist by take advantage of this time when investors saw every project in bad shape.

We can help fireball improving by giving them a few pointers so they can make progress. Like what you want to see in fireball or what is your expectation for them?

The dump before the bounty distribution usually because the trader wants to catch the coin in much lower price hence they selling their bag, making the dump. This is why I advise bounty hutters to restrain from selling right away after the bounty distribution and wait till it over for better profit from your bounty work.
