I don't think there should be any severe risk attached to altcoins held for long term because it is always assumed that before an investor chooses to hold a coin for long term, the investor must first perform a thorough study about the coin in order to ascertain the authenticity and capabilities of the coin. Once this is done, the coin in possession will only be subjected to minimal risk levels.

Normally, most of the projects state is clearly in the general rules of the bounty program that the team and bounty management have got the right to make amendment in rules at the end of the bounty or as it is being run.

Bitcoin is now the top leading currency experiencing the massive rise in price. The recent bull rise appears to be Bitcoin-centered although some altcoins showed some small degree of spikes. Investors who bought the dips when it went to $3.8K made more than 400% profit when it rose to $13K.

Every crypto enthusiast wish the market could follow such a trend for a long term - experiencing a bull run from Q2 2019 to 2020. This is crypto and there is no permanent condition here. I have no intentions to spread FUD but let's all be realistic. It is sometimes good to be pessimistic in order to stay alert for swift withdrawal whenever the drop begins in order to stop losses. After this, wait till the last dip happens, buy more and wait patiently again for the next rise in price. I believe this will be the trend after this bull phase fades out.

Well, I wouldn't advice for sales of Bitcoin now because it is still on the run taking that giant leap. 2019 bull market has started early and this is a good sign which tells the potentials ahead of the entire crypto space by the close of the year. Bitcoin is capable of hitting $30K by the end of the year. It requires patience to wait anyway.

Running at loss is an inevitable fate for every investor and shouldn't be a bane to investors. It becomes abnormal when it becomes a routine. Investors must learn from losses or mistakes, seek advice from experts, adopt new strategies in order to recoup losses and maximize profits.

Cryptocurrency does not need the support of the banks in order for it to function. Cryptocurrency and banks works on different principles, thus decentralization and centralization respectively. Cryptocurrency rather needs the support of the people because it was made for the people. Once people get to know its concept and embrace its benefits, crypto will see a new phase of growth.
