Investing is a matter of choice to every investors.
Some times not all new project  are good for profit making while some are for future purpose,. Before investing your altcoin you need to observe the area of the market if that is the right time to invest them or not so that you will not loose your money.
Sometimes people advise can make you invest to wrong project because most of them will not take time to do the research by their self if the market is still good or not before investing their coins.

Ethereum can not be a scam.
I can testify that since i started using ETH to invest i always smile on each coin i invested because i always invest in the right platform which you will be see other investors people result for you to know you are in the right place for investment.
Even thou other cryptocurrency are scam but i can disagree wth you that ethereum is not a scam.Ethereum which is my favorit coin which i always get  a big reward at the end of my ivestment.

I am still holding LTC and BNB coins over 3 years because the market  is not encouraging but am still hoping someday the market will change for my good.
Bitcoin and Ethereum which are my favorit coin right now, i don't hold them too  long because the market is very good and is encouraging right now, compare to LTC and BNB which their coin is not encouraging in the exchange market.

I guess, if government legalized bitcoin as a salary payment, it can go round all the industries using fiat to pay their workers,and to start paying their workers with bitcoin.
It will reduce the stress of the employers,and employees going  to the bank to deposit and withdraw fiat money, if its legalized in the country, and also accepted by employees and employers.

Bitcoin has its own nich.
The most important thing in a transaction is safe delivering.
I don't think BTC  is slow in transaction making compare to others like BNB,and LTC. What everybody is in interested with in a transaction, is successful delivering which that is what  bitcoin stand for, and it hard to transact with wrong people or less you fail to follow the rules of their transaction.
You can reduce your fees by using lighting network and Segwit to pay your fee and have it done.

It can only work for some develop country not some country that is trying to improve their economy. Any way cashless economy is very good because it can reduce all the risk of moving your money from one place to another for purchase.
I think with time some undevelop country will like to switch to cashless where you can buy what ever you want to buy without carry money for hand.
Some country like india, and china are into cashless in their country which the citizens are really enjoying right now.

Not everybody that is weak during this pandemic. Many people see this covid-19 as an opportunity for them to  learn so many things in cryptocurrency.
I think many businessmen, businesswomen and companies both internal and international really affect their market, even till now it hard them to recover all they have loss during the lockdown.
Some are looking for ways to use loan to improve their business and other things while some who are into cryptocurrency they need not loan to improve their businessses.

It is your choice, if you don't have the money for  ETH gass fee, there are other cryptocurreny with low gas feel that you will enjoy their profit very well, such as BTC, LTC, and BNB.You can invest your altcoin and make great profit at the end of the transaction.
I think you should have nothing to worry about, if you have so much interest  with Ethereum very soon the gas fee will drop because of the new people that will be having intwrest on it.
Ethereum will not reach $2000 because of some investors  that will be having interest to invest.

With the help of the social media channels many people have  got it right in the bounty informaton.
I think many bounty hunters learnt their lesson how  social media channels work before carry out a project. Many fail to go through the rules of the campaign before enback on it.
Some miss their gift in the campaign at the end of the announcement because they remove their signature before the end of the campaign.

Some countries economy is growing gradually why some economy is back to normal.
Cryptocurrency has reduce unemployment and employed many citizens in the country. Even during the lockdown many people who have knowledge concerning cryptocurrency and how you can us it to grow up your business and develop your country.i think stock market and cryptocurrency will start bull soon before the global economy fully back to normal.

Internet is very important to humanity and organizations.
Many companies are using internet to advertise their products and also use it to sale and purchase  commodities.
i think internet shutdown by the government cannot collapse corporate market, it can only reduce their marketing process.
Even the government know that corporate marketer they need steady internet to advertise their business to gain more customers and profit, so that it will be easy for them to pay their tax to government.

Yes, there are many business you can start with and you begin making your money.
You can start a restaurant where bitcoin is accept for payment, because many people will be looking for where to eat and pay with their Bitcoin.
Bitcoin exchange is also good for such country which their government just newly legalized bitcoin. Bitcoin exchange like where people can buy and sell their coins, such business will bring good development and a good profit to the owner.

I guess,there are many bitcoin interesting facts which you have just mentioned. Bitcoin is not centralized in anywhere in the world, No government or country control it in anywhere.
Bitcoin transaction cannot be reversed in the process, that is why as a bitcoin users you need to go through your transaction very well before forwarding them.
Government can ban bitcoin but they cannot stop bitcoin because is a decentralized in the world.

Bitcoin is a decentralized which no country or government control. I think It will hard for the government to ban bitcoin because BTC have so much bright future for every government economy.
Some countries still doubts BTC, if it's legal or not, that is why some country like India, want to bad it because they don't know the bright future bitcoin hold for people.

How does thatake it legit? Any cryptocurrency that has such promise are liable to end in scam mate, many of these ideas are from discord groups that will brainwash their members to be in them. The clear purpose of any project is to get their coin listed in a good exchange for the betterment of their investors. Be wise and don't be fool  by these scammers ravaging the industry with fake trust.

Wait in terms of holding or wait when the price is down? There's more to just wait in particular, I wouldn't advice anyone to wait when the price of Bitcoin get going down, rather sell whenever there's a profit for your holdings. Don't be stingy, don't be greedy and don't be a dumping grounds for the whales. This cryptocurrency market need those who're smart and wise enough to take action whenever they're having a profit of 10% and not aiming at 1000%.

Just wanted to be part of this movement even though am doing this without financial attach. For you to come up with this initiative, you deserve more helping hands to make this a historical breakthrough. Kindly accept my participation on this campaign. Thanks for be considerate.

Frankly speaking, cryptocurrency are the true means to have freedom and this has been the worries if the government that, if giving powers to the masses they will not be regulated and they will be free for the oppressors. They are definitely scared of cryptocurrency but willime to adopt to Blockchain, the freedom  cryptocurrency has provided is what they are afraid of of.
