yes, bounty hunters are indeed investors in projects they are in. they invest lots of time and effort and they also have the highest possibility to invest in a project since they begin to research their respective bounties.

there are lots of ways to earn cryptos. there are bounties, airdrops and mining, all of which you dont have lots of investments just effort, surely you need high end computing powers to be able to mine but you already have that if you are into gaming. when you have enough you can do trading where there are lots of risks but higher returns, hence, you dont need lots of money, you need effort instead. Having big investments however speed up the process so its up to you which would you prefer, less effort but more investment or less investment but requires more effort?

i don't know if this has something to do with altcoin but to help with your struggles here's what you can do, when i faced the same situation like what you are experiencing and at first i really dont realize that i am changing, i am more focused on earning rather than what i am working for. to resolve that i tried to have some rest, for about a month (just prepare for it that you may do it without affecting your portfolio). i stayed with my family and bond with them, have quality time and you knoq the typical stuffs. then i realized the reason why they think i changed is because i really do. i am very much preoccupied not realizing the things i should have done with them. try a version for yourself and you'll realize what you lack before returning to your usual routine but changing all possible changes for your welfare.

seems a lot of traders prefer eth more than other coins, and as i look into the 30 day data of eth there is no specific pattern that we can observe but it seems to go back to rise again, do you think it will continue towards the end of the year? btw i really am very thankful for all of your help and opinions it really helps me learn more about bitcoin and trading

If we observe the charts, there is always a trend of price increase in all (or probably most if not all) of altcoin or everything that has value everytime the year ends. Now if one do want to do trading would it be best to do it per year? and if one does this, is there a way to identify which altcoin would yield the greatest price increase so that at the start of the year you may have the time to prepare for it?

some countries already banned cryptos due to different factors, but as long as there would be a country that sees it as an opportunity, it would still be valueable. if a worldwide ban would happen that would be the only time that bitcoin would have no value at all and our existing coins would be useless. if your country would ban it you should have some ways of accessing your wallet before the ban and convert it to its monetary value immediately.

some people use it in illegal transactions hence the misconception of it being illegal. but it is not illegal worldwide. there are countries that prohibit the use/transactions of it maybe because of it being widely used in illegal transactions but that doesn't mean it is actually illegal.

wow! it really goes to show that somehow cryptos only have low values as of the moment but will continously grow for the following years and it would really be possible for it to become the world's largest currency. though it is not directly a form of money it soon will be and hope it would continously grow as more investors will come and invest in it.

there are a lot of ways to ensure the safety of your coins, there are lots of different wallet that offers high level of security too. but for the basic part of it make sure you have you password hidden that no one could access it, make sure that you have different characters in your password and if possible try to avoid using words found in dictionaries.

for trading, when the trend is going down, you may want to hold of you already have investments in it. if none wait for the trend to reach its lowest peak then once it starts to rise its the best time to invest your money  wait for it to go as high as possible then sell it. it is just like stock trading the only difference is there are couple of ways to obtain bitcoin and the trend of cryptos seem to be longer than stock market. as we know that the market is down as of today, we must wait before we let go of our current coins and wait for it to start rising before buying some more.

i don't know why you are so negative about this maybe something happened to your investment but that does not mean that bitcoin will automatically end. yes the price of bitcoin is low as of the moment but this is no reason to panic and even if this indeed leads to the deat of bitcoin it will not happen as fast as you would expect. there are still investors supporting bitcoin so it may still have the chance to survive.

hmm altcoin may have stronger influence but i think, since bitcoin established its name first rather than altcoin it would have greater influence in the market. i should say that no one can actually tell of bitcoin will soon perish but as long as it exists it surely would affect the market and other altcoin as well.

for me, since bitcoin has monetary value in some countries it can be an asset since it has value, it must not be a currency directly like if you have a house, it has worth but it is not a currency, it has value but not a currency. But since it has recognitions from other countries we can assure a lot of people to invest in it in the future.

i dont think bitcoin can directly be regulated unless the government may have their own version of altcoin wherein there will be a rule to convert other cryptos to that specific altcoin before conversion into monetary value but it would be very hard to achieve since cryptos started only as a form of merit and not an actual currency.

if bounty hunters become interested on the projects of ICOs or have some ideas how to create their own, they will now start to do projects on their own or invest on some projects they want. with this we could conclude that this type of business is somehow flexible.

in mining the profit would be smaller rather than trading meaning it is more safer since you don't have to risk what you already earn in mining, however when it comes to faster way of earning, trading would be a better option but the loss would be greater and have more effect rather than just trading. if you want you can do both to have the advantage of the other compensate with the weakness of another.

study the source of the altcoin you are trying to buy, try also to research on how the market would evolve on the estimated time of your projected sched for the coin to earn something. since the market is always changing being updated with the current happenings would also be a great help.

i agree with that, if you have something that could increase your bitcoin count that would make more profit than holding pire bitcoin alone. but instead of converting your bitcoin why not find something that would give you altcoin then let your bitcoin stay as some altcoin fluctuates frequently and might give you more losses than earnings.

long term investment would be a good strategy when investing with unstable prices of cryptos, so it is really a good form of invesment specially if you have other sources of income so that you will not be tempted to sell your portion of it is still not ripe. also, it would compensate for the losses due to other altcoin you invested in which their prices go down.

have some adversity when it comes to the cpins you invest in, also try to do trading, do bounty hunting and wait for some airdrops this would increase your possible incomes and would also compensate for some losses and would greatly increase your income. also for your tactic that would be good of you invest more on those coins that are already established.
