I agree with you mate, but the problem is that it is common even for an ordinary fund raising activity like an ico to be successful yet fail to make their intended product sellable because of lack of interest or great competition barrier.

You are correct, mainly because the market is really bad and even if they have successfully done their ico, their liquidity is affected and thus has affected their ability to pay for really good people to be onboard with them and thus either fail on their implementation or would prefer to just the project altogether.

I think the best that you can do mate is to just hodl on and hope that market will recover the soonest. You really cannot sell right now because if you do then you would really realize the paper losses that you are currently seeing right now.

You are right about that mate! crypto will definitely recover the sooner than we can notice. There are lots of room to grow and it is one of the innovative technologies of our time.

You really cannot believe in ico rating sites since they are some sort of advertising medium for icos to be known to the public in addition to bounty campaigns and other marketing strategies. I think it is best to learn about their whitepaper and the team and the project itself if it offers a wonderful solution to a problem.

I am very disappointed on how things are happening right now. I have lost all of my investments and is just currently hodling on on the hopes that the market will soon be stable and profitable.

The cause of altcoins and crypto in general to decline because of mass regulations and manipulations by whales on the industry. Also, there are some investors who think that they will always profit from a project just because they did shell out some money.

Not all icos are scam, some of them may just be poorly thought of or failed because of ever increasing regulations in the space. It is very sad that they are creating all this left and right without first letting the companies do what they should. They are protecting old industries like banks and what not. As compared to the likes of social media wherein there is little restrictions on how they do their business which makes them grow more and at a faster rate.

It really does not worth that much when i was a new bounty hunter since i came at a very bad time. The bounties are very hard to comply with their very strict requirements. Also, there are scam projects as well. Sometimes the project is poorly planned that it failed.

You can learn first by reading about trading in stock or other financial markets since the very same principle applies in trading in crypto. The only difference is that crypto as of the moment is very highly volatile and sometimes, those trading techniques does not quite apply.

I think that both coins are very attractive projects that you can invest. It really just depends on your personal preference when it comes to its use cases and viability in the future.

Now is a good time to buy eth since it is going in a stable sideways movement indicating a strong signal that it will breakout sooner than we expect. Hopefully we can see this by the end of the year.

I think that not much of these projects intended to become a scam project, it is just that some projects are planned very poorly that they fail or their developers leave the team making them fail to deliver the tokens to investors and bounty participants making them think that they have scammed them.

I think both coins are great. It is just that ripple caters to big businesses instead on individual users. Eth on the other hand focuses on individual users and is being used by most icos as their platform of choice because it is reliable but very easy to develop.

I think the risk that the ico is scam is same at both bull and bear markets. In fact, good icos tend to become sh*t projects during bear markets because their value drops and their liquidity massively affected. It also affects their implementation and spending for their activities mentioned in their whitepaper.

I agree to you on this, investing is not only money but also time money and effort as well. In fact bounty hunters can be considered as investors too since they are providing services for the team.

I think one way to prevent dumping is to reward bounty hunters either through eth or btc. Also, they should not offer discounts so as to prevent dumping by investors. They would want to sell at ico price or even higher instead.

I would like to advice that when markets are starting to go down, use trailing stops and convert to stable coin at the earliest possible opportunity before you get rekt.

Bounties are starting to become obsolete since icos are now engaging professional marketing services instead of partnering with enthusiasts who are doing bounty work.

This is very weird since the whitepaper contains the project's plan and explains on what problems it will solve and on how to do it. This is akin to a feasibility study or a business plan.
