Length of a bounty is not really relevant, it's all about the quality of a project. There will always be a risk that it may not work out, even if a project isn't a scam. Just don't get involved with every bounty on offer, be selective and read up on the project before getting involved to reduce the risk. You should get an overall positive response, even if some end up being worthless.

There is definitely a growing number of ICOs that are being extended. I can only surmise that most of the extensions are due to the current market conditions and projects are struggling to raise the necessary funds. Could also have something to do with the number of ICOs when compared to the number of potential investors. Hopefully things will improve over the next 12-18 months.

Read the details? No need, you completely plagiarised (almost) the whole article. I thought the idea was to put your own spin on current news, you might as well just have put the title, link, and nothing else. Anyway, the information was decent, so thanks for that.

I had a few profitable trades early on, probably gave me too much confidence to be honest. I would rather have lost early to learn lessons when I was still trading with minimal amounts. As it was I didn't learn until I had built up the volumes I was trading, meaning the lesson was more expensive. Ah well, lesson learned. And in answer to the actual question, my best trades were on Powerledger, Lumens and Stratis. Made good money on all of them in a very short time span, although I wish I'd kept Lumens and Powerledger.

The right time to buy is when prices are falling dramatically.

Prices have been falling 'dramatically' for months now, that's exactly my point. Are we at the bottom now, or is there another bottom once again? It's tough. Nice to see a bit of a rebound over the last couple of days, but I'm still expecting another drop. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Goals in crypto, or any sort of trading, need to be flexible. You can't set a goal and just stick to it blindly. Best bet is to find your buy and sell zones, be strict to stick to them, but only as far as conditions don't change (which can literally take minutes). So yes, it's important to have goals, lots of constantly changing ones.

One of the main problems with this forum is that the majority of members seem to put earning before learning. The only way it will improve over time is if the focus is on improving knowledge to increase the number of people that visit. That's when more advertisers will be attracted and better rewards will be on offer. Be patient and it will be more lucrative in the long run.

The price of a crypto is irrelevant

Not entirely true, price is definitely a factor, but I get your point that it is only one consideration amongst many when looking at value. Recently I have been looking at companies that have a working product due for release soon, as I think that the immediate potential for growth is greater, but it is still no guarantee. It does seem to follow a pattern though, if you can find a coin that has been languishing considerably below it's ATH, and they are due to release news/products related to a key point on their roadmap, then it can be an opportunity to trade and grab a bit of profit. Just bear in mind that there will still be the undeniable risk of a drop if the news doesn't match up to investor's expectations.
