Because it's not always like this. Sometimes expectations meet the reality. And it's even natural that price drops as the coin is listed on exchanges. Almost always everyone who participated in bounties/airdrops sell off the coins as soon as possible, which affects the price. And in about 5% of situations coins may even grow in price and eventually cost more, than it was expected. So you can make profit with ICOs, but you have to choose them very carefully.

I'm writing to inform that I've received payment. Thank you.

Sounds like a scam, or some kind of unprofessional work. How can people lead a project, if they can't even provide their clients with safety? BTW, if you're scared that your mail is connected to some information that you don't want anyone to figure out I guess you can just create a new mail address, that would be only for ICOs and nowhere else.

I think that bookmakers don't make enough profit to cardinally change the situation. BTC and ETH might grow by 15-20% due to those transactions, that's what I think. But as market manipulators see that somebody is buying BTC they'll make their move which will end up with either red market or green market and price recovery.

I think that soon (about this summer-autumn) the market will start to recover. I think that this large decrease in price was caused by BTC whales and soon they will change the situation, because long-term decrease might scary people and reduce the number of new purchasers, therefore whales can lose money and they don't want that.

I think you can't grow 5000 from 200 USD, if anyone knew how to do it then that method, casino, exchange or else would be super popular by now. I think what you can do now is sell something precious you have and invest a part of it in BTC, there would be more chance to gain something. DO NOT try to win in casino, that what usually people do in desperate situations, but then the things get even worth.
I can also suggest you to take part in this competition: https://medium.com/innovasishotels/competition-for-a-new-name-and-logo-symbol-rewards-worth-10-000-rebranding-479421c9d373

You don't have to spend a penny or a lot of time and it's a chance to get 10K USD, you have to give it a try. Good luck.

I think till 2020 cryptocurrencies will begin to take over the world, will be legislated and transactions speed will be number one question (e.g. paying with cryptos in stores, restaurants, etc.), so if BTC and ETH teams won't figure out how to deal with a lot of transactions per second NEO might replace them.

I didn't enjoy the experience of participating in bounties. Seriously, if you have nothing to do and money isn't urgent for you - go ahead, you may get lucky after all. But, as long as the chance to gain a fair amount of money in bounties is less than 50% I wouldn't risk to count on it.

Interesting information, hope this isn't just advertising. Can you tell where you first heard about this company and why do you think it's a promising project? 50% of company profits are shared..but what if the company won't have much profits?

It's a good advice to read news related to crypto world, but it's not always that helpful. I mean you can't just keep track of news 24/7 and usually coin market crashes first and only then you read the news about why it could've happened.

I agree that second market cycle is about to come, but why September? And what do you mean by "keep in TUSD", isn't it better to store your savings in BTC?

Interesting project. I like this new tendency that people can get paid for watching adds, and at least they have a choice. Finally it became clear that advertising can be really annoying. There's a similar project, by the way, TV-TWO. If you haven't heard of it: the thing is that people can choose whether to watch TV with adds and get paid for that, or reduce the number of adds, but don't get paid.

Airdrops are different, sometimes it may seem like you can earn about 300-400 USD, but when that coin appears on an exchange it can all turn into 6-7 USD. But, on the other hand, you can earn a lot of money if you sell off the coin immediately. So basically, if you participate in a lot of airdrops all the time you eventually will find a profitable one, but I wouldn't count on airdrops as a monthly income source.

Yes, I used to think that all these pumps are related to people panic selling, but considering BTC daily turnover I think that panic selling might not influence the price as much as others think. Obviously, pumps have something to do with market manipulations. And yes, it might scary people away, but not for a long time: once the price starts to increase people will become interested in BTC again.

In my personal experience such bounties where you can gain about 300-500 USD are rare, but happen sometimes. I'd say it depends on the company and luck mostly. But most of the bounties are worthless, IMHO. That's why I prefer signature campaigns, there are some scams too, but the payment is in average higher, than in bounties, and also you can learn new interesting stuff while participating in them

Yeah, I've heard of these news. But taking into account that it's been third cyber attack already for the last year for Bithumb something seems suspicious here to me. Isn't it possible that they're just simulating all those attacks in order to stay in the public eye?

It depends on your main purpose. If you wan't to make a long-term and profitable investment I would strongly encourage you to invest in Bitcoin now, as a lot of experts say now that BTC price will increase by 2-3 times this summer-autumn period. As for altcoins, Ethereum, Ripple and Litecoin will be top three choice, I think.

Selling ETH at the price of 200 USD. I've believed in Ethereum from the very beginning and purchased some when it was 30-40 USD, and the price increased by 5 times and everything was going ok, but then some kind of attack has happened and I've lost my funds. Soon after that they've compensate the loss by giving 50% of what you've been storing. I disappointed then and sold out everything.

It's natural for the ICOs, almost always price doesn't meet the expectations or drop instantly. Check how many transactions there are per day and how many holders. If people keep selling all the time - don't hold and sell, because it's very unlikely that the price will ever recover. If the price is volatile and some people sell, some people buy that coin - hold, maybe it will increase.

Yes, I think combining this strategies is a good idea and in such a way you can reduce the risks. Day trading is much less risky, than long-term, that's why people choose it, but as you want to make more money you have to wait longer and it might turn out that your coin will never come back to the primary price. But if you hold a certain coin and trade with some amount of it daily you not only make daily profit, but also can track its price very accurately and then sell/buy in a perfect moment.
