That is why some countries cannot completely prohibit the use of bitcoin, because even though there are things that are difficult to control, bitcoin has many good offers that can provide benefits, even with considerable risk. This is an extraordinary innovation, which can overcome various obstacles that cannot be solved with traditional currencies.
No problem the government does not legalize it as a means of payment, because the government has the right to maintain its sovereignty in managing the country's economy, through official currencies. Bitcoin can still be used as a commodity of trade and investment.

Important points have been mentioned by the OP.
A project that is true of high quality and seriously developing its products will surely strive to collaborate with competent companies and partners. Regarding funding, I see that there are several projects that can be successful with funding obtained internally and private sale, so when the quality is really good, it will not be difficult to attract investors.
Unique Tokenomy and a truly useful and useful product would be very interesting. An innovative dev team can certainly determine the right strategy by establishing profitable partnerships with well-known companies, this can strengthen the ecosystem of the project.

This is an accumulation of several factors, first, bitcoin and the crypto world are increasingly popular and known to the public, so this is increasingly being used by fraudsters. Secondly, the difficult situation in the pandemic makes most people easily provoked by the lure, it cannot be denied that many things have changed including reduced salaries, narrowed employment, and many other difficulties, so many people are hoping for "miracles" like that. Third, social media has a big influence in today's life, many influential people use and communicate using social media, this has become part of the lifestyle of modern society. So when there was a case of massive hacking on Twitter some time ago it was quite horrendous, moreover, the verified accounts that were targeted, the effect, would be broader because the verified accounts were mostly influencers.

So, we should be really careful. Be sure to analyze it first. If there is a give away that requires you to make a deposit first, you should leave it immediately.

I also postponed the transaction because the gas increase was quite high. I am not sure what the cause is, it could be because the ETH is in an important development phase, the price has risen quite high, so this has an effect on internal transaction rates. But, with all the benefits that we can, security, speed, convenience, it is quite comparable to the costs we provide.

Well, social media is indeed one indicator that is often used in analyzing a project. The number of followers is a measure of whether the community is strong or not. And with a bounty campaign, this will easily form a large community. This must also be supported by the active role of the dev team to provide information, related to achievement and targets for the next stage of development.
Nowadays, many people make social media as a reference, so the dev team must really manage this well in order to attract the attention of investors.
All of this must be based on quality and innovative products, unique tokenomics, and a solid team. All of this will form a strong foundation, with the support of bounty hunters it will make it easier to disseminate it.

In this case, investors and crypto enthusiasts are getting smarter so they are more careful in investing. Especially in IEO. The importance of choosing a trusted exchange with a good reputation is very important for the sustainability of the project. Choosing shitexchange is a blunder, it will only make investor confidence disappear. Preferably, this is really well-considered, strategizing with products to the maximum, establishing cooperation with a more profitable exchange, yes Probit is good enough in this case, or it could also be with Kucoin, it will definitely get bigger market attention.

Well, when the product, tokenomics, and team are the perfect mix, any fundraising method is sure to get success. In fact, ICOs can be successful if supported by good products and market ecosystems, unfortunately, many ICOs are used to cover up fraud, so many investors doubt it. In fact, ICO can be as successful as OP's explanation.
This is the importance of conducting an in-depth project analysis. We have to analyze the product well, is it really useful or just bullshit, besides that with the support of a unique team and tokenomics, the project will definitely give a good color.

This is the importance of having a side job. When there are problems at the main job, we still have other income that can be used to support our daily needs. We got a lot of lessons from this pandemic, right? we can be productive and creative by maximizing each other's potential.
Work is not just about going to the office and in neat uniforms, as long as we are able to make good use of the opportunity, working from home can be promising.
I also work as a freelancer and am very grateful that there is still work that I can do. I am concerned about people who have lost their main jobs, hopefully, we can get rid of this difficult condition soon.
Being a bounty hunter is also one of my side jobs. There are still many opportunities that can be utilized as long as we want to be careful in choosing projects. I want to join the bounty campaign with BTC rewards again, hopefully, there is a chance.
keep your spirits up ... show your potential, promote your abilities through websites such as LinkedIn, to let the world know your abilities.

You are very wise in this matter. Realizing that trading has risks and is not always profitable is good awareness. From mistakes, we do an evaluation to determine the right strategy at the next opportunity.
When I first traded, I was afraid, even though I had tried using the trading simulator application many times, when my direct practice remained nervous. Well, that's the stage we have to go through.
Profit and loss come and go. Analysis that has been done in-depth is not always right on target. Mental and patience really trained. The thing that is still difficult for me to control until now is feeling greedy, sometimes it is too forced to enter the market because I want a bigger profit, even though the risk is too high.

One of the most important things that I learned from this ecosystem is that we have to really update information, not be easily affected by FUD, it could be just confrontation and issue, with a specific purpose, as you explained. The most important thing is that we learn safe ways to store assets, the risks of our choices, so that we are prepared and not trapped in losses. Most people still ignore this security, remember hackers target you. Nothing is really safe on the internet, prepare the best possible preventive measures so you don't regret it. As long as we realize the risk, we will definitely choose the best security.

I like your explanation. Everyone has different views and needs, it influences his decision in determining whether bitcoin is really needed in his life or not. I as a freelancer, place bitcoin as an alternative in getting additional income through trading. For money transfer activities, I still use bank transfer in full, because the circle of ecosystems in my environment is still not familiar with bitcoin.
On the other hand, there must be someone who really needs bitcoin to make large money transfer transactions, saving time and effort because he can do it without a third-party intermediary. In general, I would say yes, we need bitcoin, either as an alternative or as a top choice, there are many advantages that we can use.

And the allocation given for bounty campaigns or airdrop tends to be small, right? in my experience, it is only between 1-5% of the total allocation. Unfortunately, many blame the bounty hunter when a dump occurs, even though investors are also likely to do the same thing. If there is a good opportunity to sell, why not miss it? Is not it? if the project is really good and promising, there will definitely be other investors who buy tokens or coins, especially during a dump, the price is cheaper. Unfortunately, if the project is not potential, bounty hunters and investors will certainly be reluctant to become holders, and will soon sell it.

This fact further proves that the dev team bitwings are not professional. They violated the rules that they made themselves. They did not pay the bounty hunter fairly, on the grounds that many accounts were inactive, even though the campaign had been completed a year ago, even though many protested that the account remained active and was used to support other projects. I think that's just their reason for not giving full rewards. I am also concerned, because many of my bounty hunter friends are not included in the final sheet, they said that many signature campaign participants who received rewards> 2000 tokens were removed from the spreadsheet.

Social media has become an important communication tool nowadays, it has become a kind of lifestyle as well to show existence. As mentioned by the OP, many projects have announced important information that was announced or shared through social media, in addition to the main website. When a crypto enthusiast misses important information shared through social media, it is entirely his fault. We should also be more concerned and regularly check the latest updated information.

What I'm worried about is, people who are new to this ecosystem are not aware of the risks involved, they just focus on the profit opportunities offered. That can make a difficult situation even more difficult, everyone must realize that all investment products must have risks, so be more careful. Unfortunately, there are still people who are greedy and only profit oriented, if the loss is due to their own carelessness they shout out loud that crypto scam. What irony.

The responsible BM will definitely consider it well before choosing to work with the project. There are a number of bounty managers who prefer hiatus because there are no promising projects on offer. That's better, if the project he handled was problematic, it would definitely affect his reputation.
Well, the bounty manager (who is not part of the internal team) only manages the bounty, all technical matters and the final decision are based on the agreement of the devil. We as bounty hunters must also understand the position of BM, understand all the risks we have to face, be patient and be ready to get the worst possible. There is always a choice not to choose, so if you are in doubt then don't join, it's a simple choice.

If in your family no one understands the use of cryptocurrency, then the key access you leave will not function optimally. Start educating one of the people you are closest to and trust, teach the cryptocurrency ecosystem, so that when you really "go" then there is one person who can use it well. It will function more optimally.

I share everything with my wife, I teach her about many things related to what I do in the crypto world. So, one day I "go" first, I feel calm because my wife already knows what she must do. We also keep all important notes related to the wallet in a book.

However, we cannot generalize that the bounty campaign handled by the dev team itself always ends up being a scam or disappointing. From the important points discussed by the OP, the risk could be greater because they are free to change the rules and allocations arbitrarily without regard to justice for bounty hunters. But what else can we do? bounty campaigns handled by external managers also don't necessarily guarantee that we will get a fair reward, it's all back to the dev team's decision.
Escrow is one solution to uphold justice, so this can be considered as well.

Projects that make it as an excuse to stop the development of the project, postpone the listing, and so on under the pretext of a pandemic, I think is a project that is not confidential and does not have a strong strategy. Really serious projects should not choose to give up and leave, but look for the right solutions and strategies to attract stronger market interest. Even if they choose to stop, at least there is an option to return investors' funds, in fact it is very rare. Most run away and disappear, irresponsible.

Do not easily trust people who only you know on the internet, let alone involve large amounts of money, even though they provide guarantees that your assets will be returned. Come on, understand the crypto ecosystem well, assets that have been sent to others cannot be canceled or withdrawn unless with the approval of the new owner. Do not let you get caught in another fraud mode. You better use the money for something more useful, learn the right investment or trading strategy, do the analysis, learn to the right people and you believe, motivate yourself to be able to get profits so that you can cover the losses you can last year.
