In this case the money is stored in the form of cryptocurrencies and as the name suggests that these exchanges are decentralized and there isn't any central authority that is holding your funds, so why they should provide any information about the transactions happening at their platform, this sounds like a really bad idea. There isn't any point in making the decentralized exchanges regulated as they only provide the exchange as a medium to do the trading in an anonymous manner where people shouldn't trust each other but have to trust the technology behind the system which is much better and the chances of getting scammed are reduced to nil.

A lot of scammers were taking the advantage of the lack of regulation in the DeFi market and were doing notorious activities by scamming people by creating fake DeFi projects and on a daily basis a lot of new projects were announced due to which it became very hard for the investors to find the right projects to invest in, but now these scams are going down in number and I guess in future we will see lot more genuine projects than these scams. Everyone is including the defi name in their projects to get cashed on the hype as well.

By the term established projects what do you mean, That you invest in the projects that are already listed on exchanges or that the projects which are currently in ICO but have raised good amount of funds. I must say that in both of these cases the amount of money that you can make is very low as compared to investing in ICO in early stages where you can literally make 10x of your investment if the project takes off after getting listed on the exchanges.
For me also this forum serves as a great resource for finding out about new projects and their important announcements. But there is a problem too as on daily basis a lot of projects post their announcement and only a few are good, so a lot of spam has to be filtered out of the watchlist also.

Bitcoin can overcome the $20k price in the remaining time that is left in the year 2020 because most of the times the pumps are the phases that begin as an exponential growth in price and not as a slow and steady curve in the trendlines. But year 2021 will definitely be a great year for the investors but I think that the bounty participants should find another source for their income as current pay rates aren't good at all for the work provided by the participants and the efforts that they put into it.

But most of the times when we go for the projects that are down to earth then in most of the cases those projects fail to get much attention by the public and tend to not collect the desired amount of money, whereas the projects that seem too much unrealistic are the ones that give good returns over investment, investment being either the time that the bounty participants spent in promoting the project or it can either be the money that the person invested in the project.

I especially hate those project groups in which you are added unwillingly just because you are following some crypto channels on telegam, that is too shady. Also these giveaways are just for the marketing purposes as people will get to know about the project and they will be saving a lot of money on marketing. Airdrops aren't paying good recently, it used to feel good in the past when there used to be a new coin in your wallet out of no where each week and then they used to give good money when you used to sell them on the exchange(if they ever got listed).

So you don't think that we will be sending millions of dollars worth in value digitally like that shown in movies and also buying the day to day services with the same currency like that shown in Mr. Robot with E-coin. I guess it is going to be the future where cash will be ditched for the digital currencies but the world adapting cryptocurrencies in the mainstream isn't gonna happen for sure, the digital payments will be more like centralized payments where banks would rule as to how much money will be printed.

These points are completely new that I haven't read before and on second thought if I did invest some of my time doing this research then definitely I will be getting better results off my investments as the rest of the points can actually be faked like the team interviews and the profiles can also be brought, but honestly going to such details will be done only by that team that is serious towards the project like having their own physical office n all. Today most of the DeFi projects are having anonymous team members and still people are investing money in those projects without any thought.

Choosing BNB is actually a great idea, as it is the token of Binance exchange and if the exchange performs well then the coin will surely rise and currently there is not a single problem with the exchange and I think in the future too it will remain the same as well. I think IDENA is also a great alternative if you are looking foreward at least 1 or 2 years, it is having the concept of proof of person where only a single person would be able to make a single node as maintaining more than one node is not at all possible as there are validation check every 15 days and if a person miss the validation check then he won't be eligible to run a node and thus he can't mine IDNA.

And what was the price of the UNI token when you sell it?? I bet it wasn't that much as no one would have known then that the coin will be worth so much in the future.
You did what most of the people does with an airdropped token, just sell and reap the profits from it even a dollar matters, even I also did the same with most of the tokens that were airdropped in my wallet, sold most of them whenever I could just make enough money from those coins excluding fess, if the price was too low that even the fees would not be recovered by selling the token then I would let them sit in my wallet till they became profitable to sell.

A lot of airdrops do ask for the documents like proof of identity for confirming that you are a real person as now a days most people are claiming the airdrops by making a lot of alt accounts and bots. I guess if I think that the airdrop is actually a good project and not another crap project then I will definitely give my documents to them for the verification purposes along with a watermark in the picture that is for what purpose this document was used so as to be safe from identity theft and misuse of that image if it falls into wrong hands.

Airdrop hunting is almost dead now, I know a lot of people are still applying for airdrops but it isn't worth it anymore as these aren't profitable anymore because of the increase in number of users that are in it for quick profit. I guess it will be better to rank up a twitter or Facebook account and use that account for these purposes as it will be more profitable than applying for 100s of worthless coins that will be filling your wallet and not having any future at all. Right now most of the airdrops are complete scam and they on't even be listed on any exchange in the future.

I think bitcoin is also good for long term investments because of its growth potential and the limited supply of bitcoins which isn't offered by gold at all as it is still being mined currently and even on a much larger scale than ever before. Also watching the price of gold as compared to bitcoin from the emergence of bitcoin it can be clearly seen that it is definitely beating gold and is much ahead in terms of profit gained by investing in bitcoin. Even I also have some gold bars with me but still bitcoin is much more enticing market for me.

Stable coins would not be a good choice to invest into as they don't increase in price and thus there won't be any benefit in buying those coins where you would only be parking your money in the stable coins. Thus the best investments would be the cryptocurrencies that are in the top 10s or so as most of the times the rankings are quiet constant and they only drop in value once the market starts to crash. My advice is to buy bitcoin, ethereum and bitcoin cash which is currently gaining much support from the people as well.

I would advise you to only buy a house by selling the crypto investments if you want to as it will be counted as an asset on your balance sheet but the car will be a liability on your asset sheet and buying the car would definitely be a bad idea. I think in the next 5 years I am targeting to be a whale in some of the cryptocurrencies that aren't in the top 10 in the market cap as it will be pretty hard to become a whale in the top 10 cryptocurrencies, and the future also looks good with so much innovation going on in the cryptocurrency community, as in 2017 ICO were a big thing then came the IEO and now it is DeFi and in the future there will be more amazing things to look out for and to capitalize on the money making opportunity.

Buying physical gold is always the right choice as the websites come and go but the physical gold will always be there with you and you can also sleep sound in night knowing that the gold is safe in your arms rather than worrying over it when it is there on a website represented just as a number in your account. I also invest in gold but only on certain special occasions like any anniversary otherwise I only invest in cryptocurrencies which always give better and safer return to me in my entire history of investing.

Even with more of these hacks we still face a major problem in finding out the real culprit behind these hacks and now more and more people are doing these hacks so as to get rich quick because of the challenges that the investigators face in differentiating the addresses associated with the hacker and that of a normal customer after the funds have been mixed on a high volume mixer. I hardly think that the hacker would ever be caught and be punished for his actions and if not punished then he will be doing more of these hacks in the future.

But he would also be considering the fact that there would still be many hidden bugs in the platform that needs to be solved and if those bugs aren't solved and the launch is hurried then the same can happen just like that of the DAO hack that made the ethereum blockchain to be forked. That was a blunder but not on the part of the ethereum team, also a lot of projects are tokenised on the ethereum chain and thus they have to be careful and should sort most of the critical bugs before rolling out the update so as to be ensured that there aren't any bugs left.

So you mean to say that ripple is not having any miners and the coins in fees are constantly being burned!! That is really a good thing but still the fact that it is a centralized coin is the biggest drawback that any coin could have because whenever hey want they can increase the circulating supply of XRP or they cant?? I don't know this for sure, if this is the case then XRP does actually pose a major drawback and we as crypto users and investors should avoid using XRP which I always have been doing till now.
Please do tell me that the supply is fixed or it can also be changed or not??

Domains are also just recently registered for most of the projects that you are talking about which clearly indicates that these projects were built in a hurry and are only there for the scamming purposes and we won't be getting anything decent in return for the hard work that we would be doing in promoting these bounties, so it will be better for us to shift our time and energy towards other projects that are going to give us good and promising return not just smoke and mirrors that most of these projects are offering right now.
