Bounty programs right now are experiencing a rough moment. So many of them are not reaching their target and so many are pure scams. I'm probably repeating myself,  but please do some research before joining. In the end of the day you still would like to be paid for the job, isn't it? Better to check then be sorry

One thing is for sure, something is in the air, and changes are about to happen. It's not only the investors with big money that can influence the market. Don't forget, it's us too. Besides they are the minority..

To be honest, there is a lot of fake news as well what has been made just to drive the price into one or other direction, so you can use only very reliable sources like Bloomberg if you want to, but I will suggest better follow technical analytic data.

If it rises by 40% I will hold but if it rises by 200% I will sell. I normally look for profit between 90-100% and if I reach it I sell coin immediately. Trade strategy is very important and I always follow it.

It's not one of the easiest spheres, it requires deep analytical understanding and strong mathematical background, not everybody is equally strong in math and this the first milestone that makes it hard - personal skills

Your parents wanted you to have education and graduate - which you did. They also want you to have a good job and be wealthy, which you actually are trying to do. It's not a biggie that you didn't attend the graduation, but them not supporting you here , - is.

Smartphones simply are not powerful enough to mine bitcoin, that's why special miners have been made,  what actually is not even profitable with current bitcoin price. So where is the point in dreaming about bitcoin mining with a smartphone?

I'm selling my coins when they reach 90% profit and then looking for next one undervalued coin. I'm not waiting when it will reach 100% because many people sell at 100% and price normally drops from that level.

I believe a bear market is close to the end and bull run can start at any moment. As you have noticed the market doesn’t have any serious down moves for almost a month, and some coins like Ripple even show some slight grow.

It's an interesting idea, but i don't think it works this way. It's not possible to back bitcoin by gold as it's decentralized currency without emitter, that's why no one can back bitcoin with gold following the gold standard

I believe it is not bounty hunters who dump token price, as after the bounty has finished, they hold only small amount of pool. Their people are investors who get tokens in pre-sale for a very cheap price.

That pretty much depends on how much money you have invested into cryptocurrencies. If you are smart enough you can get 200-300% per year from crypto market.

I'm not sure if CO investors are decreasing, more likely the amount of new ICOs  is increasing day by day and investors can't follow all of them. Also, many people prefer to stay away from the market this time and just wait until the market becomes more positive.

I think bitcoin will get less dominant in future. It's true that many altcoins are scams, but there are many other coins who are strong and have better technology behind them comparing to bitcoin. These coins capitalization will grow as well and if you check in percentage you'll see that altcoin capitalization tends to grow faster than bitcoins.

I completely agree this year is great to make a good investment in your future. You can invest in bitcoin, ethereum, ripple and some other altcoins of your choice and if you can hold them for some years, you will be very wealthy in the future.

Because bounty hunters are only small part of every ICO token holders, normally they get only around 3% of the pool, I believe price dump early stage investors. They have bought tokens in pre-sale phase with big discount and then sell it for profit until tokens get listed in the exchange.

If the stock market will crash, the demand of cryptocurrencies will increase because investors are always looking for new investment opportunities when old ones are getting problems. That will rise bitcoin and well-known altcoins prices.

Governments dislikes crypto because they can't control it. People can trade without taxes easily by using cryptocurrency and it can create big loss to the governments.

Just remember that banks have much more products not only money transfer and currency exchange. There are mortgages, investments, trading platforms etc. And in the bank, your money is much safer comparing to cryptocurrency, where your account can be hacked one day and all your money will be gone. When someone hacks your bank account you can claim loss and in most cases the bank will return your money.

No, 25x is definitely too much for this year. I could believe in 3x, maybe 4x MAX but not more than that. Remember, this year has been very hard for bitcoin and the market is still full of depression.
