I think the bull run has not started yet. The green side or upside we are seeing now is temporary and will not last long. By next year around May 2020, we may expect a real bull run due to bitcoin halving reward. I see the current situation is to accumulate more or to recover the losses. Even though we see a bull run in near term, I think a very long term investment will definitely give some outstanding returns.

From my point of view, I wont suggest airdrops. If you are investing in the same project and engaged with the community all the time, its fine.
It's very difficult to manage many Airdrop campaigns and at the end we realize that even gas fee is more than what we have received by airdrop.
As cryptocurrency needs regulations, airdrop and bounties should also have these kind of standards.
It will be really helpful to know about genuine project, specifically projects only posts airdrop.
Truely speaking, I don't like the idea of Airdrop, as following/completing all the mentioned tasks, gets rewarded only few cents. Also projects delay most of the time distribution, so that half the participants leave it.

Hallo Friend,
Thanks for the tips. Yes, in this ull of hacking world, we have to be very caustious using all forums, exchanges, wallets and other cryptorelated systems.
As you mentioned, using different email addresses will minimize the risk to some extent but not completely. We must ensure to set more security towards these systems like enabeling 2FA, emailconfirmation for each activity like trading, generating API keys and more.
Also keeping our fund in differnt exchanges or wallets, i.e doing diversification, risk of getting our hard earned cryptos stolen can be decreased to a great extent.

Initial exchange offering i.e. IEO is an another way to raise funds. Why I said another way? Because we know that ICO has been banned by many countries. So total funds to be raised, projects can not achieve their goals.
Initial Exchange Offering, means a project gets listed on an exchange directly without going through an ICO. We see more of these types of token issuing in countries where ICOs are restricted. Also now a days we are seeing projects coming up with new model called security token offering i.e. STO and seems it's becoming more popular now a days.
To mention here, I came across a project called VELIC, and it has another new fund raising model which is IAO i.e. initial auctions offering. Isnt it interesting?
Regarding which is better from ICO and IEO, from my point of view, IEOs are far better than ICOs. There are many things. First, with IEO, investors are sure about the exchange the coin is listing because this is the first step to start the IEO. With ICOs, even though it's completed, most of the projects lists coin after a certain period, which few investors are not happy with.
With ICO, there is lack of transparency. It is the team who updates the fund raised bar on there website. It is very difficult to know the exact amount of funds raised.
With IEO, responsibility is also with exchanges launching that IEO to build the confidence in existing and new users.

I believe yes, and will soon.. Because there are two things, scams, and introduction of IEO.
Looking at the current situation of a lot of scams, I think ico's should be regulated.
Without regulations, people or investors are losing confidence in ICO as well as in the crypto market.
Also due to the introduction of IEOs there is a decrease in ICOs.From my point of view, IEOs are far better than ICOs. There are many things.

So there is no wonder if ICOs will vanish.

Looking at the current situation of lot of scams, I think ico's should be regulated.
This will introduce strict rules on what will be the cost toons that ico can be initiated.
There are many factors which are important to decide the faith of the ico which includes the development of the project, area, exchanges listing and other technical details.
With regulations, there will be transparency and people can easily invest in the genuine project.

Regarding the future of altcoins, Not all but definitely some altcoins will return to zero which is not having development as per the roadmap.
Many projects have started with full confidence but due to bad market conditions, could not raise enough money and impacted the entire development of projects.
Blockchain technology has attracted many startups and foundations to it and the market capitalization fixed them to transform into it.
Due to bad market conditions in 2018, many projects could not even gather the funds which are required for product development. So most of them are not fully developed and due to lack of funds and undeveloped products, it getting difficult for them to list on big exchanges.
This in results very less demand for their tokens which is causing even further depreciation.
I see more than 50% altcoins will not survive if the same downtrend of the market is getting continued for the year 2019.

I think your investment should be diversified. Apart from investing in ETH also look at the top market capitalization cryptos and research their trading pattern for your investment. DIversification will secure your investment from complete loss if things go wrong in case of bad market conditions.
Also, your investment should be for the long term to get a good profit from it.
Also please remember that we should invest what we can lose, i.e. we should not invest 100% of the amount to recover the losses or to accumulate more in the downtrend.

yes, ICO will still survive if the projects keep it transparent to its investors. Many times we see that the ICOs which happens independently or manged by own company or without involvement of exchanges, they do not update accurately about the actual funds raised. The fund raised bar gets updated manually after certain period which lose the confidence in investors and suspicious needle moves towards project team. With the association of exchanges for holding ICOs and also IEO trend has somewhat made it simple and at least seeing the exchanges which are managing ICOs or IEOs, one can trust on projects which he or she is investing.

yes, definitely this is the time to accumulate more or to average the losses. Since last month there is a steady growth in Bitcoin and Ethereum (may be in top crypto's as well). I see the same trend will follow unless some negative news not come which can reverse the current trend.
It always happens that whenever we see peak of the market, people say bull run has come. There could be some corrections in between but uptrend will continue.
I am also keeping an eye on upcoming bitcoin halving reward next year, which will surely boost the market.

for projects airdrops are very beneficial. But for the participants, its now a days really becoming worthless. As you said, for one of the projects the airdrops tokens deposited were so less that it even could not meet the withdrawal criteria. To withdraw the received tokens members need to buy more tokens. Isn’t it funny?
For projects they are getting more investors due to social media advertising by airdrop participants but I personally feel it’s not an good idea.
Only when I participate in bounty, I participate in airdrop. Otherwise its very difficult to keep track for almost nothing.

At the moment there is kind of flood of scam projects and exchanges and wallets hacking news. All these situations are creating nothing but loss of investor's money. For not having regulations, there is no authority to check the upcoming projects legit. With regulations not only investors’ confidence will increase in crypto market but will definitely attract new investors which will help increasing the entire market capitalization.
What are your thoughts on regulation topic and when to do think its possible to apply? will there be any negative effects to the market as well?
