Not necessarily. There are these coins or tokens that some investors call "gems". Sometimes they just need some marketing push or just need some upgrades before they start building up volumes.

When does the forum prevents anyone from asking any questions related or non-related to crypto?

Do not expect everyone to be familiar with all blockchains. I may be familiar with Ethereum but I am not on other platforms like NEO, Stellar, Ardor etc.

Everytime the market turns green, these types of questions always pops up.

"Should we be expecting a bull run?" Yes, we should be expecting a bull run but the real question should be when? I don't think it will happen this year or next year. maybe on 2021 or 2022.

There are still some that hypes crypto. The main difference now is that many do not fall for it easily unlike in 2017. Today, even positive news don't always affect the price.

Someone should bet against these guys.

It makes me wonder where do they pull all these numbers? Even a $500 ETH might not be achieved this year.
I hope nobody would invest based solely on these predictions.

Base on your post, it looks like the bull run is in the hands of a government institution like SEC. If they delay it again, say 2020 for example, then bull run ain't coming soon.

I do not get how soft caps can be a sign of weakness or lack of confidence. If you are going to build something from the ground, you will at least need minimum funds to accomplish the basic things.

The many failed bull run predictions in the past has made almost everyone unsure  and that's understandable.

The increase in volume is quite impressive though. Let's wait if this continues.

That's interesting. Is Steem losing its popularity now? Anyway, it's good to see the community stepping up. I'm forwarding this info to my peers. 

This is probably because you guys got so used to the old interface. Perhaps you should give it more time to adapt.

It is more like investors have become more picky with their investments. Since we are still in a bear market, a lot of funds are probably still stuck in and investors simply try to choose the best projects (base on their research) to invest their remaining funds.

I do not agree to this. It is a very risky move. What happens if the ICO failed to raise the funds needed to move forward? What is going to happen to your personal information?

Another thing is that it also requires resources to verify participant thru KYC, teams usually prefer to spend their resources on marketing.

I think it is best to just wait and see what happens. I am quite excited to the benefits this hardfork brings in term of development to be honest. The current is a good bonus.

I've heard of Amon a few months back but I have not really followed their development after the ICO. As you can see, the first few replies to your post already suggests that not many know about the project. Perhaps you should personally asked the team first and see how they respond to your queries.

As long as projects are handled by a team of developers and not just one, expect some disputes, that will eventually lead to splits, to happen. I do not think it is particularly that bad. Investors tend to always move on and don't get stuck to a particular issue.

That is a good summary. Thanks for introducing me to other wallets. So far, I have only been using a few web and mobile wallets. There is also an upcoming wallet that I've been testing and I'm liking it a lot, you can check it out https://equal.tech/

If bounty managers are up for the additional task, then why not?

But honestly speaking, I think there is a higher chance that a new post having a lot comments will be rewarded rather than merited post/comment. 

The author may be right for others on that list but why NEM? I like that they have been active in development but I still do not see them recovering yet especially after that shake up.

If you are going to attribute the bear market to scam projects, then why so many legit projects are still down eventhough they are part of the top 100?

Why not just create a proper thread introducing your app or whatever that is instead of using misleading titles?

Either way, you can never truly determine or distinguish a good project and a bad project. This one also depends on personal judgements. I've also seen projects with good ratings but ended up a failure.
