You can earn referral commissions almost on every solid exchange. Just sign up, get you link and promote it on social media. Furthermore, you can join bounties and airdrops on this forum to earn crypto. It is some sort of freelancing.

STOs are dead, as well as ICOs are. Nobody is willing to invest in projects that are not cooperating with exchanges like Okex. Save some money, buy their exchange tokens and take part in another IEO, you would be able to make much better money.

If I lose something, I am usually trying to overthink my decisions and to learn from them. Right now, if I lost money, I am doing nothing, because it is too risky to trade to cover the loss and to invest again at the moment, so I am just waiting for better times.

It would be enough to make only one of those factors to fail the project. Even solid team members are making mistakes, but the biggest problem is greed, because they are making discounts to collect more money and are not willing to pay huge fees for a good listing.

There were and there will be a plenty of scam projects, the only difference is that it is getting harder and harder to detect scammers. Nowadays, they may even create an MVP of a product, write a solid whitepaper, hire good advisors to collect funds and scam investors.

The majority of coins that are live on coinmarketcap would disappear in 5 years, because they are suffering from lack of money, strategy and competent management. Besides, 70 percent of coins are not backed by a working product.

There are so much scammers around that are selling Libra and people are buying it! I have heard so much people saying that they have already bought Libra for a great price, which makes me laugh and feel sorry for them.

Not at all, if government would accept crypto currencies, they would do it only if all privacy coins would be banned. Nothing new here, because they are not able to track the users of anonymous crypto and this is the core problem of governments.

China is already launching their first "crypto", Facebook is doing the same, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple and Samsung are actively investing into blockchain technology  and will maybe launch their own crypto. Blockchain is here to stay, crypto must fight for survival.

If they would successfully negotiate with major countries and especially with Europe, there would be no problem at all. Libra is a blockchain based Paypal, that would bring a lot of new people to the industry.

China is definitely ahead, because with Trump as president, the chances of crypto getting mass adopted in USA are really low. Trump is against everything that has something familiar with digitalisation and China is launching its own stable coin.

USDT is a centralised garbage. They are printing money with 70 percent real buck up, so generally speaking they are printing air. DAI is a decentralised stable coin and represents the best solution among stable coins at the moment.

Altcoins would get their chance but not now, after such a disappointing Bakkt launch, the market needs time to recover. We would be very lucky if BTC price would not drop to 6k again, because the situation is very uncertain and I would stay out of the market for now.

Bakkt was a huge hope for me and I thought if accredited investors would finally get access to Bitcoin, trading volumes will exceed all expectations, but 20 BTC in total represent the weakness of crypto industry at the moment.

Bibox and Kucoin are very similar exchanges, I love them for a very user-friendly interface. But in my opinion Kucoin looks much better and has a bigger chance to become a real Binance competitor within upcoming several years.

If you want to buy BNB, do it now, the price has dropped to 20 USD and I hardly doubt that there would be a further dump. Binance needs to improve their margin trading mechanism and to launch 2-3 more successful IEOs to push the price back to 30 USD.

I feel that all criteria that you have listed can help to detect a scam project, but the real problem is that big scammers are acting like professionals and it is extremely hard to mention any of these by their attitude. However, even such projects are stealing money, so we need a better way to detect them.

It mostly depends on your luck. Even if a project seems legit and you have researched it well, it can still turn out to be a scam, even after several months of work. I haven't mentioned any bounty campaign in 2019 that can compete with earnings in 2017.

I would stay away from any altcoin, until BTC dominance would not fall below 60 percent. It does not matter how great the project is or where you buy it, if BTCs dominance exceeds 70 percent and leaves no space for growth at all.

DASH is the best masternode that you can get and sadly, there are still no coin that can compete with DASH. However, NRG is looking really great, but it fault from 6 to 2,5 bucks within several weeks. Not a ROI that an investor would like to see, by investing 50k into a masternode.
