You are right. That is why we have to use decentralized wallets. Advantages of decentralized wallets over centralized ones is the security which it posses. The Decentralized wallets does not depend on any third party services. The entire control of the wallet remains in the hands of the users.

Here are some qualities a good project has :

- Projects that aim to solve a real world problem
- Projects which can realistically solve that problem
- Projects that are proven to not be scams
- Projects that have a good and active (GITHUB) team that can actually deliver on those promises

How not to fall for phishing scams:

- Always carefully check all the links. Do not click on links from the messages from Internet services — instead, manually enter the address of the desired service in the address bar of your browser.

- Never reveal your private key.

- Use antivirus which has special protection against phishing.

I think you should keep discounted tokens in the hope of their growth in the future. No one knows what can happen and quite possibly these tokens will sometime profits in the future.

There is always a risk in an investment .But it is more risky when the project is new. Older projects have more reputation & been there for a long time. Best thing you can do is your own research about the new coin. Specially look at what they have achieved so far & the team.

I can give you few tips which gonna help you to select your next crypto investment. Look in to these things. Use cases that show scalablity. Easy ideas to implement and also pie in the sky ideas. A good team. Start checking out who the founders and developers have worked with before in the academic and block-chain world. Love from VC's isn't as important as how they are regarded in the land of cryptography.

There is nothing about the process that hinders you from doing both, especially given long term doesn't consume that much time relative to the holding period(s)

 I think it's hodling is important but there is another thing. It's very important to have your targets when holding any cryptocurrency coin because no coin has ever stayed up forever.

It is a good idea and an advantage for all the bounty hunters but the big question is that if the project team is willing to do it. Also escrow should be a one with a huge reputation.

Think twice and make research about the project, because bounty of nowadays is not like before. You have to do a deep research before you start the bounty.

Yeah I think so. There are lot of signs that another bull run is coming soon. Also most people don't know about crypto currency yet. There is lot of space to grow for alts.

 True. The project can not completely depend on the bounty campaign even though it is really effective. With social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram they can run good promotion with more details on what their project is all about and even add videos that summarizes everything.

Exchange wallets & online wallets are not safe. There is always a risk when you keep your funds at there.You should use a hardware wallet. It's the best way to keep your funds safe.

Lot of them does not know how to make sure that their promises are on track. There could be some times in which the project takes too long for it to reach the market but some time there could be some sort of delaying in giving to bounty hunters.

Only one coin & it's Ethereum. DeFi will take off.Even keeping ETH for DAI tokens will be worth it in the long run. It's already pumping at the moment I am writing this.

To be honest I am here for profits. I also love this adventure because everyday I will get a new experience in trading. But profits are my major target.

Yeah.Most projects can promise good rewards only in words, but it doesn't come to payments. This is of course very sad but it is true.

They invest and want a huge profit in such a short time. But when they see the price going down, those new impatient investors begin to spread negativity about those projects.

Microtransactions, rewarded game play, and optional ads are a natural combo. The game data does not need to be stored on the blockchain to benefit from the advantages of crypto.

 I think Bitcoin and Eth are good options for newbies to get start. They are stable more than other coins & they are not scams.
