It is better to have an extension rather than to call off the ICO itself, you may not get paid at the same time your efforts have gone to waste, most of the ICO's are extending their token sale so that is a normal occurrence, it is so early to call it a scam without the proofs rather than that, the reason might be the bears for crypto at the same time the confidence of the investors to ICO's, admit it there are so many projects right now, hard to depict scam not unless you've gone some research to dig the eligibility of the campaign.

Anyone can be a critic of something and crypto is no excuse for that, however, babbling so much to crypto that it will perish without any claims and evidence specifically to bitcoin and the technology behind its success the blockchain is so much for being a critic, we know there are scam coins, fud's, bad news and decreases but that scenario also applies to other fields.

Crypto has been regulated to other parts of the world but that is right still some countries banned the use of crypto, easy to bring down prices? that will depend on the current situation and news that envelopes the crypto community, it not always dumping and decreases the prices are coaster for now but we may possibly see some improvements over to its price.

That's achievable given by the good position of bitcoin to market we can witness that state of price but as you've said it is nowhere near this year nor the next one it is the unrealistic figure to assured though we can speculate these prices as long as you wish to the content of your heart even with some speculation of $1 million they can do that, the current state of the price and its development is not possible for now.

If short trade is not an option then you should do long trades and hold instead, you should also consider that some of those coins might be pumping for now but in the long run they will collapse someday you might even see those coins getting delisted to that exchange, if you've done deep research to those cryptos then you can safely assume that they are good for long-term goals and profit, lastly consider a decent exchange if you are not confident to the recent one.

Facebook is picky to crypto advertisement last time they totally banned any crypto related advertisement but now they changed it to the pre-approved method before promoting and for Google ads you can check this latest article https://www.cnbc.com/2018/09/25/google-reverses-ban-on-cryptocurrency-exchange-advertising-in-us-japan.html
ICO's, wallet and trading advice are still not allowed to use google ads and this only applies to regulated crypto exchanges, the ads will only appear in US and Japan as per the article said, so yeah the option is to go for bounty but these programs exist before the banning period so this shows it is effective provided that they have the right marketing strategy and potential.

Doing some bounty cannot bring some assurance that you will earn from them, there are so many participants and bounty programs that you have to choose and your profit depends on the bounty pool, quality and rank of your work and the campaign that you've joined but you can do it without spending money unlike to crypto investments but manages to bring more and assured profit if you know what you are doing and dealing with crypto.

Any kind of data from charts or news as to why it will plummet back to $4k? it's fine to speculate but that is a tragedy if bitcoin and altcoins made the opposite movement by the end of the year, I am not expecting to surpass the last ath but we can at least witness some price surges for the coming months added by the upcoming news and developments, bitcoin and some alts are good for long-term investing but that doesn't mean there's it will increase this year.

If you have good capital, knowledge, and experience then you should go for trading and it's up for you to decide if day trading or long-term investment is suitable for your position, for bounty what can I say, most of the bounties these days are not that profitable, not all of them will pay you and will not release to exchange, you will encounter scam, delayed, abandoned and legitimate bounties so there's no assurance for that, both of them have risks, you can earn from bounty without spending any money but consumes your time, skills and decent account a good profit.

We can't expect that this year though there's a chance somehow if the market favors pushing the bull run even further last year the hype and fomo to crypto specifically bitcoin is really everywhere, we need some good news, development and great adoption to crypto in order to attain or surpass the ath last time lets watch until the end of this year as to what would be the price growth.

For the first point you can't catch accurately the bottom you don't know when exactly it will increase or decrease due to the market unpredictability and sudden fluctuations you re lucky if you spot the bottom then the price goes up after that, the Second one you can't also tell how long it will stay on that state if rise so it is your call to sell or not, the third point seems applicable for long-term holder and investors day traders must observe the charts daily.

It will not be going to stay like that it will increase when the bull starts to dominate the market last hype of ETF eats the 6k resistance but it was gone due to delays and rejection well we can't rely on that to see some pumps to its price bitcoin made 20k last year without its help and beside it is not the only thing that matters to made the bull run the market again.

As long as cryptocurrency lives then it will also exist unless there was some kind of regulation that prohibits all of the ICO's to launch their crowdfunding campaigns then it is their end game to the crypto space but not all of ICO are scam you can say a large number of it belongs to that fraud group but some of them are legitimate it just so happen that some of their tokensale did not end well.

You misunderstood altcoins to ICO tokens I prefer both of them as long as they belong to the top 10 from CMC like ETH, XRP, litecoin etc altcoins that are adapted to exchanges that have a decent volume and price, you can also check the services section for that most of them have weekly campaigns but you must haste to join, for bounty sig you should be picky for this category.

If you saw a bunch of deleted accounts joining your channel offering youtube review, crypto signals and stuff that constantly spams the groups because they appear almost everywhere then it smells like a scammers unprofessionalism act, the number point to OP is the most obvious and the dumbest thing that the scammer ask from the people wallet public key is enough to do some transactions.

Buy the bottom of the price no need to wait for the bounce as you may get too much fomo from it, holding is another good option but that is profitable and proven from bitcoin and the top 10 alts but make it sure you are buying the right one that possesses the potential to increase in due time given by the market condition and the development of their crypto or platform.

This is just his personal speculation without any factual possible proofs and claims to support that theory, he just drops the word $3k for December next year, possible but you must back it with claims to make it believable that it will drop to $3k like nothing next year? worst drops were happening this year but we have the bottom of $6k and that's it the price did not pass through 5k back then.

If you are keeping the right crypto assets that you need to hold for the long term then you can rest assured that it will increase when the bull starts to storm to the market, but first, you need to figure out if you are holding one of those worthless coins cause if you have any of those scam coins then you should worry carrying those stuff to your portfolio and get rid of it.

It is not always depended on the bitcoin price movement even though they have the majority of pairings and support they have their own price movements, btc can influence but the altcoins individual schemes and development can move the price even bigger or even lower for instance like the Op said about ICO's as it can drag the price down due to the campaigns pacing, eligibility and price.

If you are talking about the majority of altcoins available to the market then No, most of them will disappear most likely because they lack volume because of the past bear market and you can't expect that this coming December would be the same as last year it would be entire different that before maybe I'm wrong for that we won't know until it happens, some of the altcoins are probably worthless in the future.
