Bitcoin Forum

The last weeks and months have been anything but rosy for the crypto market. Falling prices and bad news have hit hard on the mood in the crypto-ecosystem - FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) made big waves. Some reports quickly gave the impression that the crypto-economy was at an end. Crypto currencies have developed into a highly attractive asset class, especially in the second half of 2017. In contrast to traditional exchange-traded financial market products, the entry hurdle here is considered low - anyone can invest in crypto currencies after a few simple steps with a small portfolio. Hower what do you think about cryptocurrency the upcoming time?

There are a lot of crypto whales who really have a huge impact on crypto space, this is true. Now with recent news from Soros, Rothschild, and other big institutional Investors who are entering the Bitcoin Market. Slowly but surely, the tide will turn in favor of all cryptocurrencies. Financial moguls, including George Soros, the Rothschild family, and others, now have their sights set on Bitcoin. It makes for an interesting development, albeit the potential impact has yet to be determined. What are your thoughts about those big players? Do you think it's good?

Furthermore the EU is getting more and more interest in Blockchain and it's use-cases. In the opening speech at EU Digital Day, EU Commission Vice President Andrus Ansip called on member states to become more involved in the use and development of blockchain technologies. Europe must play a leading role worldwide. To achieve this goal, 22 EU member states signed a Blockchain partnership at the event on 10th April. In the future, this should bundle the commitment especially in the further expansion of the common digital market. The Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy is currently looking for examples of applications and ideas for how Blockchain can create added value in the areas of education, energy, health, transport and administration, among others. The open innovation platform of the Intelligent Networking Initiative of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi - Germany) will focus on blockchain in 2018. We will have great times ahead! Just to mention, I'm German, so I'm a little hyped about this.

Also various economics faculties at Brazilian universities deal with crypto currencies. In addition, there are many research projects and master's courses on the subject worldwide. There are already a number of initiatives in Germany as well. The Brazilian university Fundação Getúlio Vargas in São Paulo is starting a Master's programme focusing on crypto currencies.

More and more adoption for cryptocurrency world is coming, 2018 will be a great year. Tell me your thoughts about it. :)

Soros, Rothschild, and Big Institutional Investors are Entering Bitcoin Market (https://www.newsbtc.com/2018/04/08/soros-rothschild-big-institutional-investors-entering-bitcoin-market/)

Well, there are 7,6 billion people in the world. Like it or not even 1% is enough for cryptos to live on and survive all the FUD that was and is happening. I believe we are still in early stages of it and it is just a matter of time when more and more people will start embracing it.
However, we will not avoid stricter regulations as well. But it is a good thing - we cannot have sustainable cryptoworld in a wild wild west state. There should be some ground rules and regulations to abide by.
I do hope more and more projects start popping up with real life use. For now it seems most of projects are trying to solve money issues and decentralization of holdings. But we need more projects that are down to earth, like personal data management, consolidation of personal information which would be easily accessible and fast to get, use blockchain in aviation, automobiles industry, health industy, sports industry, etc. For now it is all about financial industry.

We are definitely still in early stages, same opinion about that!
The last point is great, you have to settle up a stable ecosystem with a real use-case around it. If you really want to establish in this hard times of the crypto market right now, just to mention G20, regulations what are about to come for sure, China bans on mining, big players joining, etc... you definitely have to deliver something new. Making the world a healthier and more connected place requires vision and, most importantly, it requires trust. Lympo with the idea of a healthy lifestyle ecosystem powered by user-generated and user-controlled sports and wellness data will have a great chance to improve something like that!
There are not that much coins right now on the market which could deliver something like that. Sounds like promo, but I really believe in Lympo right now, one of the most valuable coins at the moment!

Well lets face it . This is not surprising that adoption of Cryptocurrency is growing especially in Europe. There are a lot of use cases that show that cryptocurrency can solve world problems and alleviate poverty from so many nations. Despie the fact that Government and regulation are trying so hard to take control, they know that money is gradually evolving. People are starting to understand about what money is.

It is only a matter of time and you will see a widespread adoption.

I agree with you, 2018 will become very important for bitcoin and the entire crypto world. Although the beginning of the year was dictated by the bear market and manipulation, the good news was much more and more people learn about bitcoin and the crypto world, the crypto-currencies are beginning to enter our world and I hope this will continue. You said the right thought, we are only at the very beginning and the most interesting lies ahead!

Yesterday i saw the largest business news channel called CNBC doing a program about bitcoin future and analysis and the ticker on screen while the program was on air, was Bitcoin soon boom to moon, after this program and other fundamental and technical positive aspects i think btc is ready for next uptrend now.

We can all see the results for ourselves, the market is turning green (at last!) so our investments should be safe. I would say that these next few weeks could be the last time for anyone to buy some cheap crypto. The next bull run will be fast, and not just for bitcoin but all decent altcoins as well

when crypto prices fall, everyone considers crypto is a scam and nonsense. but when crypto goes up, everyone wants to be a new rich person with crypto. Such cycles will continue to occur. Crypto price turns have always been the talk of many people. not bad news from people and media that keep crypto prices down. but obviously supply and demands are the most important influence. in fact people will rate crypto based on the price today. see if the price of crypto back up as high as last year 2017, people who consider crypto a scam will re-withdraw his words and said that fluctuations are real.

This year  2018 has since been projected by many experts to be a great year for investors into cryptocurrency and blockchain in general. This is a new era we are in. An era where so many people, bodies and governments are beginning to realise the importance of blockchain technology.

I agree with your opinion. The krypto world must be governed by strong rules. if the regulation is set, then the fraud will decrease. the krypto world will continue to grow i strongly believe it.

I keep hearing it is altcoin season and I really hope that it's true.  The cryptocurrency market needs to see more green days as the last 3 months have been brutally red.  I hope the bears will go hibernate so that the bulls can come out and play. 

I observed that not all of the alts are on green today and for btc, it's green but market price has been steady at $7.9K as of this writing. Not much movement on the uptrend for now but I think this will gradually move in the coming days. Hoping that there will be no FUD's and negative news that will be experience within the coming weeks such that it may not contribute to a strong resistance in the price movement.

cryptocurrency is too useful and practical to fail at this point. the technology and use , particularly for developing countries with little access to services but access to mobile phones. crypto is still in early days and much of the coins will fail but there are convincing arguments for much higher volumes of adoption ( not just as trading )

Agree with you. Cryptocurrency could make a international payment more simple.
This is very interesting for the small and medium business. Because most hard part of the export - alignment a contract with bank.

Breaking news: The rise of Bitcoin is possible, this confidence is 35%. Altcoin can be raised, this confidence is 47%.

Is the EU really blockchain but unanimous?
Bolshynstvo for but there are also countries that do not want this and there are also countries that are not found here such as Ukraine and Russia, they also put a little pressure on the crypto currency!

Of course, there is only optimism about cryptocurrencies' future, because they have huge potential to revolutionize the world!

This great news information is a welcome development for the crypto initiative. If all the players mentioned above could really fully get involved in the crypto space through the blockchain technology then our society will turn a better place to live in.

I am always positive that Bitcoin will keep on developing, and I am sure there will be more big investors coming to crypto, crypto is such an unique investment that develop faster than any other investment, and now we are waiting for the government's decision, there are a lot of governments think blockchain and BTC as a useful invention for the future, but some of them also against that idea, now we will need wait what will be their decision, if all governments in the world could agree to accept BTC then BTC will become greatest currency and investment in this world

Cryptocurrencies can be considered as payment as well, but the point therefore is, that it's way too much volatile. As example you pay for something and one or more weeks later you lost profit in this because of value rising of the coin? Some coins which wants to be used as payment method or more precisely as crypto currency should have audits and genuine equivalent to be considered as trustworthy payment method.


There is actually some pressure in these mentioned countries, but with an EU agreement there can be much more confidence and trust for users and the government. It is true that the government wants to partially ban or at least regulate it because large profits are already being made. Let's see where this will lead to..



The cornerstones for this have already been laid. Ultimately, the cooling has not only helped to reduce transaction costs. Especially SegWit in combination with the Lightning Network paves the way for Bitcoin. The popularity of Bitcoin has increased significantly in recent months. This makes it more attractive for merchants to accept Bitcoin. The increasing clarity in tax matters increases the reliability of the crypto currency. Many companies have already recognized the signs of the times, acceptance points and possible uses are expanding. Just recently, the fashion brand United Colors of Benetton announced that it would accept crypto currencies in a branch in Lithuania. The higher the corporate acceptance of bitcoin as a means of payment is, the faster the adaptation of the broad masses progresses.

Furthermore what do you think about the fact to own company shares shared to the users? Lympo for example announced they will be distributing company shares to their token holders. That's actually a great and really new thing at the moment. Maybe we are entering a new assets backed cryptocurrency stage? As far as I know, I'm really a little inexperienced in that respect, but it's definitely going to be a huge affair. How it will affect the crypto industry and tokenomics, what do you say? We will see more rigorous action or, on the contrary, the regulators will withdraw as more and more ICOs will have some real benefits behind them.

I also see from relevant news that the US government has many bitcoins in its hands, which has a wide range of sources. The total value is 1 billion dollars. I can't get the truth of the news. But I think it certainly exists. This shows that bitcoin has actually affected the world more widely. No one can stop it.

Bitcoin and altcoins were dumped because of all kinds of bad news.
It seems it is time for good news now.
I always believe that after huge dumps, there are big opportunities everywhere.

There's just quite too much emotion conflated to this market. Some kind of bad news can have a huge impact on Coins and Altcoins. To get on to this there are so much Pump'n Dump groups just for quick money to take the piss out of new guys on the market. They try to get in as well and get dumped a lot. This leads to much lack of trust for the people. Easy money is a temptation where you can get lost in the process.

What do you think about the company shares for the token holders? This is actually a great point!

2018 in many respects will become important and decisive for bitcoin and all crypto. Although at the beginning of the year there were obvious manipulations, but the market assesses the advantages and capabilities of the technology, so there will be growth.

fully agree with you. We need reasonable people like you focusing on real value of blockchain instead of just trying to become millionaires overnight and being here for sheer speculation or bounty...

All I can say is that the blockchain technology will be worldwide adopted, example (Facebook) promised already to research it and many other giant services out there.
Crypto currency is our future currency, it is just a matter of time.

There are news that really reassure you that you need to continue investing, but not so many. I think that the market will stabilize.

The beginning of this year was very difficult for all of us. I hope with the fact that in the future these trends will change.

Some news is very worrying especially about the fact that more and more social networks ban advertising cryptocurrencies, I think it’s horrible.

I think that this will have a huge impact as well, they can advertise maybe some own product very easily on Facebook and could drive the whole story forward. It definitely will be the future!


The market is stabelizing right now, some "experts" are saying that you have to get on right now. But I can say that we can see a lot of green numbers and graphs as well the next time. It's a healthy and steady rising right now.


First few months of the year can be called crypto winter and I think it fits perfectly. There are hard times, a lot of rumors about regulations, China, Korea, G20.. etc. But all in all people will see the true value of the blockchain, their ecosystems and use-cases.


I actually see a good point in their, it was mostly used for ICOs and "quick money babble". This can lead to a whole different aspect of the crypto world. Everyone has to be sure about, that it's not always about getting rich or #moontimesoontime.



To get on to all of this it's really important for projects to get every aspects clear and lucent/transparent. Building up an ecosystem where you can improve your Apps, dApps and systems is momentous and it is in any case an important factor to continue to exist. Therefore to mention a really good one - Lympo - is just trying to achieve it. The Lympo app will motivate people for staying active and being healthy. They reward the users with challenges and healthy lifestyles. So it will connect a lot of users and trainers all around the world building u a huge network of partners. Furthermore Tennis superstar Caroline Wozniacki, who won the Australian Open this year, will promote Lympo to her fans, followers and the wider sports community, explaining the app benefits. So the progress of this project is tremendous and it never cease to amaze me.

I agree that among the news there is a lot of fake and FUD and it is necessary to come up with a way how to deal with this...

I would agree that there are good and bad news in the market of cryptocurrencies and for me, that is just part of the factors that could either affect the price value of bitcoin whether it will be up trend or down trend. Currently, I am seeing good and green marks in the crypto market where btc and majority of the altcoins are increasing which could lead to a great promising profit on the investors.

we can say even more, because the market is recovering slightly and it allows Noah to invest their funds at the ico stage of the companies. And This suggests that many projects will develop much better.

All in all I think the crypto world is expending right now for sure. There will be more huge wales that will influence the prices and the market in general for years to come. We have to understand though, that the most important part for us is to make money.

And the crypto market is recovering quite good at the moment! A lot of green numbers and a steady rising! :)

crypto currencies have fallen a lot lately but we are getting good news these days. the stock market is moving in the positive direction. If it continues like this for a certain period of time, it will be strengthened as in the past

I think that the market will continue to recover and grow in capitalization, not looking at a large number of FUD and fake news, which have always been and will be difficult to deal with.

FUD has passed, the market has been amended for four months. Fortunately, there are some positive signs in the market recently. I believe that with the support of those big countries for bitcoin, the community will have a better prospect.

And especially the point of FOMO because of Whales, Pump'n Dump groups or big Twitter account, which will have a huge impact on the market. This is really insane if you see some promotional tweets from some of the "Twitter Experts".


I do agree with you, more and more Bitcoin acceptance and cryptocurrency-based solutions on the Blockchain are getting much more attention. Malta accepted recently a cryptocurrency bill.
