managed to make a bit of coffee money late last yr to early this year...but after that, too many weal or scammy projects ruining the market...

ico market isn't too healthy now. maybe just keep the eth. u dun need 3 eth for games. if u're looking for some fun. just set aside 0.5 eth...shd be able to participate in some decent games alrdy. save the rest.

sold some, kept some. have to evaluate objectively at each point in time. no point fomoing, panicking or hodling all the way.

depends on the project. fundamentally no diff from stocks. only those with solid fundamentals last for long and outperform. many projects with huge bounty allocations have weak allocations.

i dun think the only usage is for icos. once eth dapps takes off with the resolving of the scaling issues, we shd see increased market usage and adoption, which will in turn mean higher eth dd. but of course, anything could happen in the meantime.

yeah, really solid projects usually are more reasonable in terms of sale bonuses or bounty allocations... they trust the long-term worth of the project and dun need too much of the enticement element...

i think for super-solid projects, and if the amounts involved are worth it, it might be reasonable to submit kyc, a lot of icos have to comply with the rules and regulations of the jurisdictions they are operating in too. if it's just a few bucks for airdrops or bounties, then no point...

MEW is an interface, technically speaking u're not storing ur tokens on the MEW site... e.g., u store ur data on some harddisk, microsoft windows is the interface via which u interact with ur info. having said that though, i wld recommend metamask at least (also another interface, but has better security, can interact with MEW too), if u have a sizeable am of eth or erc tokens. for highest form of security, go for hardware wallets. google them online.

depends on value, if it's just a few bucks, no point wasting the effort in exchange...might as well buy a long-term "lottery", of course the project strength and potential matters too.

check the validity of the project, i.e., how legit is the project proposal, is the team experienced in blockchain tech, usually if it's a solid ico, it will be a solid bounty. try not to do those that says, 5 mil of tokens up for grab etc...icos have problems raising even a few million bucks these days.

shd be more rational, even if u believe in btc, there must be a reason why u believe in it, and when fundamentals change, ur position shd be revised accordingly.

depends on the nature of the work, and on ur views of the success of the project. if they delayed so many times, it probably means a lot of new hunters joined too, did they increase the overall bounty pool - basically, is the team competent and fair? if no, then better get out fast.

have to evaluate each token the same way we evaluate any stock or bond. what changed to cause the price dump? just negative mkt sentiments? if u were to re-evaluate the token today, how much wld u be willing to pay for it? only keep those that's worth keeping...

i think it depends on the nature of the news, if it's something abt the entire crypto ecosystem, both shd be affected somewhat (positively or negatively), but if it's token-specific news, it should have less of an impact on e overall mkts. agree with u that this divergence in behavious is healthy.

platform coins like neo depends a lot on adoption and potential adoption...maybe things wasn't looking up in the past few months? but then again the entire crypto market saw a pullback...

ur logic is a bit weird, basically just find a coin u believe in, be it bitcoin or altcoin... some altcoins will do better than bitcoin, others will do worse.

depends on strength of project. a lot of new projects have weak fundamentals and will likely just @fade@ away in the course of time.

nothing is certain in crypto, except maybe the fact that there's certain amts of market manipulation. read, read, read and make sure u do risk management well for ur portfolio if u're a semi-serious investor. dun play with monies u can't afford to lose.

yups, the stats are not surprising. ppl need to be more discerning. some projects have no use case for blockchain. blockchain is a powerful tech, but it needs to be utilised/co-opted into platform designs in effective and innovative ways for it to work in the real world.

partly true, but i think new bounty participants also need to be aware that (i) the number of hunters now are very large compared to start of the year, (ii) the overall number of scammy or dodgy projects has increased. choose wisely, what to do with ur time and efforts.
