I'd say like this. If you want to participate in an ICO, it's essential to read the whitepaper from top to bottom. And not only whitepaper - the roadmap, review the website, read blog posts, media articles, research and get the most information possible. But if you just want to participate in a Bounty campaign, I think scanning through the whitepaper will be enough.

Too bad I don't have any merit. I would definitely share with you. I would also add some points:
- It's better not to participate and not to start doing any work until you see that you are approved in a spreadsheet. Even if somebody contacts you in a private message, ask them to show that you are confirmed in the spreadsheet (especially if it's something time consuming like translation).
- Always search for information about when the bounty tokens will be distributed. If there is no such information, ask the bounty manager, and start only when you are sure when you receive the tokens.

I am a girl. And I am the one who introduced crypto-topic to my family My husband doesn't own any coins, he doesn't participate in bounty campaigns. I am the one doing things first)) But he reads a lot, and lets me know about exchange rates. So in my family, it's a bit different.

Great project! Good luck with the ICO and development.

It really depends on a person. I cannot imagine myself trading the whole day. It is too stressful, too much risk. I'd rather do my regular job that I like a lot, and that does not make me panic or freak out.

I would deposit some in a bank, and leave it for the time when I am old and can't make a lot. And I would use the rest to take some time off work and travel the world. There are so many exciting places.

It's better to divide your money. You can invest a bigger part in well-known currencies. And you can use a smaller part to buy other coins which are not well-known, but prospective in your own opinion.

I think you shouldn't invest in any ICO's right now. Take your time to read and research more. Moreover, you shouldn't invest money that you borrowed. Even if you want to invest in well-known and respected currencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum. 

I would be that simple if you knew, that it will fall even more tomorrow or next week. But you cannot be sure about that. You will sell now, and in few days it will rise by 20-30%. And you will regret. So I guess it's safer just to hold.

No, I don't think so. I don't think Bitcoin is good for instant micropayments. Take into account a transaction fee, and how long you'll need to sit and wait in the taxi until the driver sees Bitcoin in his wallet. A bus would be faster

Well, it looks like somebody is really interested in spreading that fake news. And the bad thing is that it's working, and crypto goes down each day

Most people (especially those from the cryptocommunity) sound optimistic. But I think that everybody is quite worried. Moreover, if you invested a lot. It doesn't depend on us only, and our support. There are too many external factors we cannot control or influence, unfortunately. The only thing is to wait.

Haha:) That's funny. I don't think Valentine's will affect Bitcoin. It would be great of course. But I don't think too many people would withdraw their Bitcoins to buy something to their beloved ones.

This is not entirely correct. In Ukraine, bitcoin as a currency has not been officially recognized, and mining bitcoin is illegal. People get arrested for mining bitcoin and their equipment and all the machinery are taken away. The Central Bank does not recommend people to invest in bitcoin, as well as any other cryptocurrency, as it is not reliable, according to them.

There were cases already when criminals after using Bitcoin for transactions were tracked and arrested. So, the anonymity is quite a disputable issue, I think. 

Good idea, but I don't think it can be implemented for now. In my country, bitcoin is not even recognized by the government, and the Central Bank does not recommend the citizens to invest in Bitcoin. So there is no way it can be taught in schools.

When you created your Myetherwallet account, it gave you an option to save the key on your computer. Just check files on your computer, maybe you'll find the file. The recommendation was also to write everything down. If you haven't done it, unfortunately, you cannot do anything about it

I will agree with other forum members saying that both - Bitcoin and Ethereum - are good for investing. But keep in mind that a majority of ICO's is based on Ethereum and have ERC20 compatible tokens. So if you want to participate in purchasing new tokens, you should have enough Ether.

Oh, I wouldn't do that if you are not confident. If you feel you will succeed, set your feelings aside, and do a proper research. Read this thread also https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2063689.0 It's an example how trading for a newbie can turn around.

Sorry to hear you lost so much money It's always better to learn from somebody else's mistakes, especially when it comes to such big losses. I've read a lot already about cryptocurrencies and ICO's, but I am still not sure about my abilities to trade right. So I just keep my investments and look into promising ICO's for now.
