I read that there is a wifi device that can somehow mask itself to the public wifi that people connect. Since wifi connection these days requires logging in from your device to limit your wifi usage, it's possible that they're gonna trap people to phishing sites so I think that people should be wary of the public wifi they're connecting at.
Phones are far more vulnerable to hacks, so better not hold a lot of funds in your mobile wallet.

It will, but hey crypto-wise we're getting slight breach to 7k so that's quite nice for a recovery right now. Not sure when will this pandemic end, but from how severe it gets in my country, it seems like unlikely to decline right now.
Panics are quite common here right now, pretty much everyone especially in US could be selling crypto to USD when the virus hit the country.

Everything's pretty much down, not just oil.
Stock market's down too so consider stabilizing at a certain floor right now especially that we are in a pandemic situation. There's nothing to panic though as long as we're all at home and doing our usual thing at home.
Expect people selling their crypto coins a lot, unless it can be used as a payment method to buy common commodities.

It might be those "long-time ago" question but to add up to discussion, I believe that bounties especially the IEOs would take pretty long time to earn something from them as I see it as they're counted into stakes and the tokens allocated to those stakes would be done after the projects roadmap into gaining investors finished.
It's pretty long time actually and I believe that some run for 3 months.
Airdrops are quicker ones, because from what I've seen before they're airdropped once the bounty starts running already.
Catch is there are some airdrops that would require KYC and I ain't one of the fans at those rules.

If it wasn't mentioned at first that KYC will be done post-project period, then it would be kinda unfair for people though. Not anyone would risk their identities for a crap exchange that would surely be a wasteland in some other time.
They should be able to know if the exchange that their coins will be listed requires KYC like submitting information to Google Form.
However it is upon the people's responsibilities if they're even awaiting for an announcement or just merely waiting without checking updates, because I believe devs do an update through Telegram.

Don't know if these things still exist because you mentioned long time ago, but I would still advise people to be cautious. Not only in browser extensions but also to various apps in the Play Store as I believe that Metamask was returned there after it was removed by Google due to the same issue as Youtube removing crypto-related contents due to scams.
Believe me that these malicious attempts won't stop.

I don't see India and Korea utilizing cryptos yet as an alternative way of payment but I know that they legalized it already. Too bad that we're still in the middle of the pandemic and we don't have definite time of when would this end, but surely people would start to buy cryptos after this.
Kinda not surprised about the stock market crash, like anyone surely thinks of grabbing their money to buy their needs because they know they can just do freelancing and earn there instead.

Don't wait for someone to post in Scam Accusation before deciding, as you can investigate it by yourself anyway. Believe me, your research is more worth the money that you could've risked as you will not only save your money for some garbage throw investment but save a lot of investors from starting to have fear in investing due to many scams just like the fear that caused ICOs to disappear.

A year without an exchange getting hacked? That's truly up to no one, OP.
There is no such thing as perfect security, because in the end someone made the whole system itself and that creator has the control of it, that's why we can't say that even such exchange that allows 2fa is secured.
Hopes up that the hackers won't have the same mindset as the exchange devs.

Duh.
Telegram is still a small platform to think about how many fraudsters or shill projects are being talked about there. Look at larger platforms like Facebook and Twitter as numbers of possible scams is more than you think. I've seen many referral link just putting you into a bad position in the internet. I don't think that Telegram even thought about banning crypto-related groups there, but in larger platforms I mentioned I believe they banned crypto-related posts before.

I started way below your amount, OP.
I can't remember how much but since I was still starting up yet that day like I was still learning from tutorials, I didn't bother to invest just a tiny amount from it and hey I chose Binance.
To tell you from my experience, there ain't a "minimum" amount to start day trading. Don't know if there's still such an amount if you're getting hang of it, because I already stopped because that strategy doesn't apply to me.

I daytraded before in Binance, and it is kinda nice to start with that exchange although there are limitations to 1 BTC per day to withdraw if you didn't submit KYC documents.
I ain't a big trader so I don't think I would need that anyway. I used Coinbase before and I wasn't able to buy Bitcoin that day because first I don't have any credit card and second it wasn't yet supporting our country but from the feedbacks of it, it seems a good exchange to buy BTC.

If I can recall correctly, there were few universities around the world offering courses for Blockchain. Although Blockchain isn't typically equal to Bitcoin only, but due to the popularity of using the Blockchain, I think Bitcoin should be covered in curriculum. It might not be the whole technology behind Bitcoin itself, but it should be a nice cover-up.
I don't think that Bitcoin "should be taught", like even the primary levels would learn the basics into it. If there's courses that I could think of teaching cryptographic algorithm, it would be those technological courses like Information Tech and Computer Science.

Well we kinda think of having an income from it already especially those who were hodlinng from 4k buying.
There's never a better price to sell it anyway because some people entirely bought at different price.
Not sure about the adoption as we're still not yet over with this pandemic but it surely opened its doors for people to invest at.

Well at first glance, it seems offline but even sending basic SMS requires a network data and medium for you to be able to send it to the other side.
I've seen another app having the same goal to send crypto through SMS.
Not sure if offline transactions are possible, but I believe that's one of crypto's weakness that it is dependent in the internet.

Blessing at some angles but mostly it isn't, OP.
There are thousands of deaths happening globally and no matter how we look at it, it is bad. There are people dying right now. It is kinda selfish of thought to think that it is a blessing for something like crypto since we're hodling it anyway and we're not one of those people at the other side.

Well many countries are still able to invest in crypto using VPNs and such but government's power isn't just up to that. We never know what can they still do against crypto one day. For now we can see their regulations to crypto selling at some countries by imposing KYC policies which is kinda centralized idea that defeats the idea of decentralization that we know that crypto possesses that attribute.

It might depend on some country whether their government legalizes or not though.

Third is like freedom in other words, and I feel like that would encourage even the Gen Zs to put their money here in crypto so that they're free to buy anything with truly their own money without having to worry any other online methods that requires KYC verifications.

There were already burst of scams of ICOs back in 2018, and I believe they started to disappear slowly that year because it doesn't seem like investors would look for more ICOs any further.
I've seen quite a lot of threads here before in the same board about those questions repeatedly.
Not sure if hype on IEOs is still the same as last year though, but from bounties I can see it seems it still have a moderate hype to it.

Value and its relevance.
What can you think of much more?
Consider also the community because of the demand of the buyers that would surely increase the price, but for sure the people inside a community would invest because the product has sort of "value" and "relevance" to what they need.
Also, consider the exchange on where the coins is about to be listed at.
