Unfortunately, the movement of bitcoin prices has a very large influence on the movement of the price of the whole market. And so it should not be, and will not be in the future. After all, there is a real project behind each altcoin, and the price of a coin must depend on the quality and actions of the project, but not on the movement of the bitcoin price. In the future, it will.

Crypto currency is becoming more popular, and the rumors that you can earn money here spread out very quickly. Therefore, more and more people go to the bounty. Most of them do not understand how the market works, and how to make money here. They look at the popularity of the project, the popularity of the bounty manager and take part, and we can see too mane people in  bounty company. Since the pool is divided into all participants, the payments are very low and the hourly payment is less than in normal work.
Everyone chooses to participate in such projects with a large number of participants, or not. I advise you to find less popular but promising projects.

I think it's hard to say the exact amount you need to trade. I know people who started trading with $ 1000 and lost and people who started with $ 100 and now have a profit of $ 10,000. In fact, the amount is not so important, the more your deposit the less your risks. Most important is your experience and knowledge, understanding of the market and its features. Trading in other people's signals is dangerous and unpredictable because the mistakes you will make will not be yours. Study the market, study exchanges and their dynamics, it will give answers to your questions.

I do not think that the bounty will ever end, they are aimed at attracting investments for projects. If there comes a time when projects will not need investments, then the end of the bounty will come. In the meantime, I think that as bounty-hunters, we should make every effort to promote really good projects. And we must quickly identify scammers.

I have been using this platform for several months, and I can say that it is pretty safe. The main plus is that you do not need to enter your private key anywhere. There is always a risk that the platform can be hacked, and the data of your accounts will be stolen, but it can be easily restored with email. Do not use the same passwords for email and platform. And do everything to secure your account on the forum.

It is pretty tough with some coins, but also there are a lot of coins on the market which price movement easy to predict.

I can say that 95% of airdrops are a scam, just don't waste your time on it. Find some good ICO bounty projects and work there.

And you are right, I had a lot of coins which cost on ICO x10 than it cost now. And nothing I can do with them now but hold, and maybe one day I can sell them...

I prefer to take part in Bounty, also invest in some ICO, and trading a little. I don't take part in airdrops, it is  a waste of time.

Ofcource market can go down, because it still depends on good  and bad news. A couple of bad news and prob we go down again.

Diversify needed 100%, it is crypto and it is very risky, so we need to decrease our risks if we want our investments back.

Go all in in Etherium,  it will be $2000 soon, so it is a better investment than altcoins which 80% are trash.

I can suggest you to convert 50% of your Bitcoin in Etherium. I think it is the best way to minimize risks in crypto.

I think that the most frustrating thing in crypto is when you made mistakes like selling coins for a much lower price you had bought it.

If you had no good coins to hold, you can try to buy something like Etherium or Bitcoin, maybe Neo, Eos, Amon, Tron. . But don't sell your coins above the price you had bought it.

I dont really believe in ICO ratings, but you can find a lot of useful information on such sites as icodrops and icobench, and make your own decision.

My list of best exchanges:
1. Hitbtc
2. Binance
3. Bittrex
4. Cryptopia
5. Qryptos
6. Idex (slow some times)

Yes Etherium shows very positive results this week, and I hope that this dynamic will hold till the end of the year.

The best way is to keep your coins on the cold wallet like Trezor or on something like MEW. I don't trust, exchanges because hackers can hack it.

I watch some telegram channels with ICO news, also I check sites like icodrops, icobench and etc.
