At least you don't have unrealistic goals there.

Maybe aim to turn that 1K into a single btc, then work from there.

As for what coins, look for decent projects with active teams that are still a relatively low marketcap.
Or just ride some whale waves on a coin or two, try to double your money.

That's the real risk. I'm sure some giveaways and icos aren't necessarily just in it for the money anymore... not directly. Very easy to set up a scam airdrop/bounty that requires KYC, with the sole idea of selling the data gathered.

Whether in a bubble or not, not entirely sure it matters. There is no way to know when any bubble will pop... could be years from now, or tomorrow. Best way to approach it in my opinion is to just invest what you are okay losing. If it pops, it pops... if not, you may end up being rich.

You need to diversify in order to decrease risk. But if we are talking about a smaller amount of money, I could see someone just putting it into a single coin hoping for a payout. And that's fine, so long as that person also knows he/she could lose all of the money.

If it's like $500, not exactly the end of the world to lose it. If tens of thousands or more, you want at least some diversification.

I like Electrum myself. Fees will depend on the coin/network.

It rarely makes sense to store coins on an exchange. Exceptions being if you plan to do
some trading... or catch some sells... but even then, don't keep coins on exchanges too long.

I hadn't considered that. Thanks for the update... not that I tend to do much twitter bounties anyway, but I guess it could fall under their crypto ban when you think about it.

Agreed. It's also meaningless to most investors who have diversified at least a little bit... btc is super dominant or not, doesn't matter so long as btc brings the entire crypto market up.

So long as exchanges use btc as a swap pair with most alts, btc will lead the pack. Of course years from now that may not be the case, but we'll worry about that then.

Eventually, yes.

I haven't followed it that closely, but aren't there already some bans in Europe set to go into effect on new gas car sales by the 30s/40s?

I guess fuel cell vehicles could catch on in some places, so it may not necessarily end up being all electric. But fossil fuel cars will eventually be phased out.

I never really paid much attention to dividend paying cryptos before (made more just with trading), but I'm wondering if most sell off the dividends as they get them, or hold them for a payout later? I guess it's similar to mining... but due to how tax laws work (at least in the US), a person could end up in the weird situation where someone owes more in taxes than they earned in dividends if they hold during a bull market and taxes are due in a bear.

I guess it comes down to risk/reward. Or many do something like sell half the dividends/keep the remainder long term.

Bounties and airdrops of course is the easiest way. But it's unlikely anyone will earn a fortune just from bounties.

What you do is earn a small amount of btc from bounties over time, then use that btc to invest in other coins.
Hopefully one of them takes off, and you have something to work with then. Set a reasonable goal (like try to earn 1btc) and it's not that difficult. Just that it will take some time.

Diversify into at least 3-4 coins.

Don't put it all into one basket, too risky that way.

Research, post here, increase rank and join bounties. Once you get a small amount of btc, use than to
invest on exchanges. And go from there.

Worst case, you waste your time, but there is no way to lose money that way.

If brand new to this, bounties are the way to go. That's what I did when I was new to this.

And once you get a tiny bit saved up in bounties, then re-invest them in other coins. They go up, build up a stake, and go from there. It'll take time, but it's sort of a no risk way to go. Worst case you learn
a bit how this all works and if you want to invest later on, you won't be so in the dark.

If any bounty requires KYC, I simply won't do it.

I understand the reasoning behind it, but the risk is simply too great. It's more or less a voluntary setup for
identity theft.

Thanks. Someone duplicated my name (my submission was the 1st one, I think I just got it in time for the 1st week) and I noticed someone duplicated jengiskhan's name too. Kind of sneaky, I suppose... they expect you not to notice and use their address instead of the originals.

Is there a preferred Avatar for signature people?
KYC required for the bounty?

And whomever is checking the signature bounty might want to remove some duplicate submissions...
someone is trying to scam via a fake address (their address, presumably).

If it's a decent amount, always keep in a wallet.

If it's just scraps or coins you want to trade frequently, then a good exchange probably
would be okay. But even then, if a decent amount I would never keep them on an exchange too long.

I forgot all about this coin. I think I put a small amount into it...now I wonder if I have the wallet around here somewhere. Guess it doesn't matter if nobody else took up the project.

I wouldn't entirely dismiss newer horror films either (not sure we'd call The Exorcist 'newer' exactly, but you get what I mean). It's just that there are far fewer decent horror films than in the past.

The best recent horror film I've seen is The Witch.

Just signed up for the upcoming signature campaign. Looks like an interesting project.
