It depends on how much time you have and how big your budget is. Without any doubt, if you do not have a solid starting cap, you should go for bounties. But if you have money, welcome to trading.

Unfortunately, there are not so many bounties that are already listed with a good trading volume or even paying with ETH or BTC, maybe one from 100. So I would suggest to do a better research to find awesome projects.

There are already tons of projects on the market that are offering such an opportunity. NEXO and Moneytoken are the most popular examples and it seems like people are actively using those services, so yes it works.

For sure, some of them are useless, because so much altcoins on the market are poor trash, but there are still some diamonds on the market left and I believe they are going to show their full potential this year.

I think you forgot ETH, because it seems like people are forgetting about the king of all altcoins. ETH has such a huge potential and it is going to be massive in 2019. Lets just wait for the next great update from the devs.

It was a really great moment to invest into crypto currencies at 80 bucks for ETH, but it is still great right now. I have absolutely no doubts that this year is going to be awesome for crypto holders, so just enjoy the upcoming ride.

I have no doubts that Facebook is going to launch their crypto coins, but I do not think it is going to be a stable coin. I simply do not see any reason for that because as the first mover, they can make a lot of money with their market entrance.

Poloniex was an awesome exchange, but as soon as Binance has entered the market space, I nearly forgot about Poloniex. Hope they are going to increase their user base, integrate some more new features and at the end are going to be on top again.

Even with their amazing features and great development, I have strong doubts that any other coin is going to beat ETH. XRP was trying for several times, but unsuccessful and other coins are too far away from top 2 and top 3 coins on the market.

For sure, the more limitations, the harder it is to get through and to get your reward. Especially, when the team requires a KYC process as well, so the more you need to do, the bigger your rewards are going to be.

I am also wondering, why a lot of altcoins has shown already their potential on the green market, but not NEO. I think it depends on their team activity, because I have not heard any news from them for a long time.

Pay your attention to the major altcoins from top 20 on coinmarketcap. BTC has already shown a bullish trend and as you said rose by 100 percent, but altcoins like ETH, LTC, EOS, IOTA have not made their Xs still.

The best way to find a good project is to make your own research. Just spend some time by reading their whitepaper, investigating team members and the website. Take a look at community stats and the rating websites. The last but not least is the product development level.

Alone the word combination of free ETH or BTC should have worn people. Nothing is free in this world, especially in the crypto currencies industry. Work hard and you will get your rewards and put your fingers away from such scam.

The only thing that can stop scam are the regulations, but if we would implement hard regulations we will lose the major feature of all crypto currencies and this is the anonymity. I will rather stay decentralised and will avoid scams on my own.

I do not see this right now, because BTC has made a good step forward, but the major altcoins are still moving on the same spot. I hope things will change in the couple of months because I believe that the time has come.

You can recognise a scam project on the team behaviour. If they cannot answer your questions, maybe unserious, postponing decisions and so on. Moreover, it is easy to recognise a scam project if you look at their whitepaper. Mostly they just copy-paste things.

You do not need to hold an IEO or STO if you are doing outstanding marketing, there were enough examples, even in 2018 where there were no IEOs, some projects did well and even collected their hardcap on the falling market.

Everything depends on news on this market, and if there is a disinformation placed, people are not checking it, they are just starting to buy coins like crazy and after several days they realise that it was not their best decision.

ETH is doing well in 2019 and I believe that they are doing things right. The only thing that bothers me is that ETH is not raising so quickly as BTC, so we need to hear some more announcements from the devs to launch the rocket.
