Yup definitely, something free could be a scam.
I understand that you do not consider your ETH address and email address very important that even if shared it does not matter.
SCAM would be termed for something what is promised to you in return of something (could be email, eth address or any activity) you do for there airdrop and not receiving it or receiving tokens which are worthless.
 

In my opinion "NONE". Nearly every single website takes hefty amount of tokens to give a good rating to any ICO project. I have heard some good feedback about cryptobriefing website but I am not really sure about any stranger written articles anymore. Personally, I feel to use these websites only to get information about the upcoming ICOs and do my own research before investing any money in them.

Any good coin with a strong fundamental background if bought during the dips or accumulation zone is a good long term hold. (including bitcoin).
I strongly believe in BTC, ETH, NEO, STRAT, WAVES but these all should be bought around there ATL values to reap the maximum profit when they touch a new ATH value.

This year market is more or less retracing like the year 2014, there is no way of comparing this cycle with 2017. I dont really want to break hopes of mass, but I am afraid, we are not going to see the similar bull market again in 2018 as we have seen in 2017. It will take some years to get back to ATH values.

Emotional day trading, I am hearing this for the first time.
But yea, putting up emotions or sentiment for trading is not worth, its like buying stuff with closed eyes and thinking that I know its good.

First of all, I dont believe in day trading and must not be done until and unless one is really good with both TA and FA and have good knowledge of day to day market sentiments. Secondly, even if one is doing day trading, just buying with a thought that it will go up is irrelevant. Market doesnot and will never work as per ones emotions.

Per my understanding KYC do have both pros and cons in its own manner. KYC is basically required for AML i.e. Anti Money Laundering. so that bad investors cant simply put the black money directly in ICOs. Every project has the right to understand and make sure that the money that is being invested in there project is legal.
Over the cons, if the Project or Team is scam and use the KYC details to sell further on, its really bad for investors on there identity theft.

As far I remember you can buy ETH directly on MEW using a credit card too. I dont remember the name of the service provider behind it, but yes, they have enabled a service for sure.

I would say its a good side by side option to earn more money.  You can't just rely on this volatile market solely. Moreover, you need to have a good knowledge to survive and learn the tactics of this cryptoworld. But yes if a person is willing to learn and acquire enough knowledge he can earn well.

Yes, you have to keep patience to survive in this crypto world. You can just loose all your token just because the market is going red.  This is a normal thing. Just hold on your coins and you will see the results in coming months.

To my knowledge and understanding, miners actually do not worry of ETH prices at times like this. They have made humongous profits when ETH was at ATH and $1000 above and even at this less price they are still ready and want to continue mining ETH is because they have the belief that ETH will bounce back and recover soon. Miners are not usually short term thinkers, they do invest a lot of amount in equipments with a long term vision,

Ethereum was always and will always be the king of ICO. Its because of Ethereum that so many other ALTs are born and were successfully able to raise there required funds from ICOs. Neo is also giving a strong competition to ETH for ICOs, however, to come to ETH level there is a long way to go.

Over the longer term NEO to me appears to be the coin with the most potential. we are already seeing a lot of project moving to NEO from ETH for there ICO, if ETH grew with the ICO mania last year and if thats going to happen again ever in future, NEO is the one with top demand and could surpass ETH.

By following crypto on reddit, Twiter and bitcointalk. If I find he project interesting I join there telegram or discord groups to keep myself updated.

It is actually very tough to tell when market will rise up .There is no fixed time. We can only wait and see when that will happen and be positive.

The reason I believe people are nervous and scared about crypto investments is basically the high volatility in market, no regulations, market fluctuation making pumps and dumps, no government body support etc, many conventional investors need a third party to safeguard there investments let it be a government body or private firms who can take responsibility to keep there investments safe from hacks and thefts as well.

This is very useful, however, over the time all these top influencers are turning out to be shillers. Its good to go through these spreadsheets to get the details about potential ICOs, but before investing in any of those ICOs instead of going through these influencers score, its always better to do the minimal research and specially the token metrics to understand the portion of tokens which are out for marketing, team extra.

Though I am very new to bounty hunting, however, I feel that Bounties will be there till the time ICOs are going to survive and this is going to be a long run. As this is just the beginning of crypto,, ICOs are here to stay and so are bounties.

Best ones in my opinion are still the hardware wallets (ledger or trezor). I am personally using ledger nano s, specially after neon wallet is integrated to have ledger nano s its a life savor.

Over the period of time the things. I have learnt are never FOMO , never chase bumps, never be a part of pump and dump process. keep your private keys safe, purchase a hardware wallet.  Nover keep your token on an exchange.

No, not every coin will able to survive. There are a lot many coins in the market which are fraudulent and the projects are nothing but scam. The coins which are persistent  and the ones which are used for  payment methods will survive.
