Bitcoin Forum

Hi guys,
I was reading this:
https://news.bitcoin.com/survey-finds-john-mcafee-is-most-influential-crypto-trading-figure/
today and i was interested if you agree with the article?
When you take decisions regarding Bitcoin, do you follow one's advice or you do investments as you wish?

the choice is in your hands to make a decision if indeed that you are participating in the investment now if you have to be patient in waiting for the price of bitcoin to stabilize again.

The best way is always to do your research, and make your own decisions. That way, you have no one to blame but yourself if you ever lose some trades, if you make bad investments, or if you had bad buy entry points when investing in something. I personally almost never give advice either. If certain friends ask me if it's a good time to buy bitcoin, I always tell them to look at the charts themselves and decide. I definitely wouldn't want to be accountable if ever they make bad trades.

By the way, I definitely wouldn't take advantage from John McAfee. He openly shills coins/tokens for a certain price(a big price, that's for sure).

Actually, I always ask some advise to my friend about bitcoin investment because all my friend are now good in investing cryptocurrecies. When it comes in bitcoin investment you need to have person who will give an advise so it will help to avoid lossing money.

If you want to high risk high reward investment , crypto is the best option.
Remember that crypto still 8 years old and it's still young because I can see the future potential where anything will gone digital especially on transaction purpose.
Buy book and do some research to minimize loss and maximize profit !

The main thing is to have understanding in crypto, advice is only a consideration and in essence you also need to do research on what you will choose.

I'm simply a holder.  I don't try to day trade and I don't get emotional over price swings.  Holding is the the best thing for me because it is the most relaxing.  I'm not going to let the bumps along the road stress me out.  I keep everything secure in a hardware wallet as well so my exposure to theft is extremely limited.

I always prefer to listen to my own and decide based on my own research and intuition. John McAfee has become the prominent name in mainly ICO market and he is not an active advisor for any other mainstream cryptos.

I initially used to follow John's tweets for making ICO investment decision but the moment it was established that he is being paid for his tweets, I stopped looking at it, because they are clearly biased and can lead to a serious confusion.

Staying calm is the advice I want to send to those who are involved with Bitcoin. Be wise to make the decision to be patient and wait for a bright future for Bitcoin.

I have come in connection with Bitcoin with my own search from internet, not influencing from others. I have decided to invest in Bitcoin with my own research not from others openion. Mcafee is a familiar figure in crypto, he is an influencer. Many people follow him but i am not at all.

I always follow only my own principles and knowledge when investing or trading on the stock exchange. There are a huge number of public and telegram channels that publish signals, but for all my experience they never brought profit. More damage, and loss of nerve cells. When you act out of your head, if you lose money, you can only blame yourself, not some anonymous uncle.

None of us here can dictate any of the members in this community whatever you want it to do in terms of investing into bitcoin.
Therefore our success here is in our hand and would be depend on your decision as well. Though my best friend told me about this things
and I trusted him that's why I hose to learned here and to find out its potentiality.

I used to give advice in the past but  the market has made it difficult to advice people. The market is further shrinking professional advisors from reaching their goals with clients as surprises bumps up every now and then. For now it is difficult to advice newbies hence I advice myself all by myself.

Am very sure this is dependent on individualapproach of things. It is not realy bad idea to consult people and get their side of advice or opinion on bitcoin especially those who are expect in such area but to me i do plan and take action per my personal discretion without any third party after personally scrutinzing and looking at all posible angles of the opportunity it gives me.

Yes you are right, the real results are in everyone's hands, not someone else's hands, it all depends on their own thoughts, and if the decision to take action for investment, of course must bear the risk.

I don't trust anyone in doing my trades, especially deciding based on blindly following someone else. I might use their figures and estimates to use as a basis and create my own line but that's how far it goes. Also, John McAfee? He's known to ride the hype of some crypto and use it to create money easily. He does not really care about development; he cares about profits and his twitter feed tell just that.

Always trust your own instincts since it's the only way you'll learn the ropes of trading. Don't ever blindly follow someone as they might have other intentions in mind that could result into you losing money in the end.

The life is full of choices and as to what suit you is what you actually have to go for and to me I learn a lot from expect and that actually influence almost 60% of my decisions on bitcoin.

influential, maybe not as expected, I think I only rely on his name to lift the hype from crypto that has passed and until now even though it seems that the crypto market is getting worse, he is still like that, not the type of person who can be trusted. I don't even think too much about people's advice in trading. Because when it goes wrong, no one can be blamed.

Always follow your gut before you invest. And it's always good to know the prices. At https://currentbtcrate.com/ you can find current btc price to help you decide whether to buy or sell. Good luck.

for me i simply make my study, I mean observe the market closely and make my decision. Most times i follow my instinct. The truth is if i follow someone's advice and this go wrong, i end up blaming the person bitterly. so its best i take the decision on my own

All the time I read and listen to other people's opinions about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. And my decisions very often depend on these opinions. Because the cryptomarket is very young, I don’t feel strong enough to figure it out myself.

Is not bitcoin alone but any financial product , I first take advice from my closet family members who work in the financial settings and then to reliable investment sits and sometimes professionals analyst by reading their reports and forecasts.

initially i take the advice of a friend who has been in the bitcoin game long before i started. he has more experience in cryptocurrency and bitcoin. But recently i make my own analysis myself and since then i have been taking decisions on my own

I don't actually follow anyone's advice. I simply stick with my own decisions to invest and that's it. It doesn't mean I don't take advice from people, but I weigh my options to see what's best for me.

I take into account only pieces of advice of experts who know how to deal with the hard situation on the market, to my mind, it is better to entrust this to those who are more experienced than simple traders like me and you

I always do my own research. Sometimes I read articles, other people's opinions. I read the news, look at the rating of the coin before buying it. But as for bitcoin, there is no doubt. I believe in him and no one will shake my faith.

I think no one can advice you when it comes to bitcoin and even in other business. The only adviser and manager that you need when you are in this industry is yourself because all we know that we are prone in loss or in coin stealing. So the best thing to do is work and have a great strategy on your self. When you do this I think this is more clmfortable because we are already do what you know that what's good in your bitcoin business. And I think we can learn more or we will learn fast when we are doing thing on our own experience not in anyone's advie.

There will be no advice as i can read more news in many forum and website.
i can also watch videos for the currenct situation.
We should scale every situation and news in the society.
All the decision is in our hands and mind.

If people think John McAfee is influential in crypto industry, i think i am agree. He very concern about cryptocurrency and believe bitcoin will be $1million in 2021. I am always following his tweet but not always following his investment advice

When I invest, I don’t listen to other people's advice. Investment is just my decision. I specifically avoid articles, videos and publications that advise me how to proceed. Moreover, I think it hurts when making an informed decision. That is why I independently evaluate the charts and news background, as well as reflect on the possible options for the turn of events, which are not spoken by everyone.
And if I make a mistake, then I will make the right conclusion, since this is my miscalculation.
If I followed the advice of someone and lost money, the only reasonable conclusion that could be made is not to trust someone else's opinion. But I wouldn't know exactly where I miscalculated and what I didn't correctly take into account, since the other person was doing this process (maybe he didn’t do it at all, but he simply invented something and advises everyone).

I don't take any advice from people, but sometime i follow that influencers when i want to do something like buy coins or maybe pick which one i should avoid in market. Because some of them really can make affect in market.

I do investments as I wish. I'd rather learn from my own mistakes then to borrow investment advise from someone else and then blame him.

You have to make your own investment decisions or else you will become angry at others instead of learning from your mistakes if things go bad. The best advice I could give is to - Listen to all, follow none.

I agree. Sometimes we blame who suggest after we follow when it fails so better to made your own decision but still have to listen on the opinion of others. Someone who advice me is my friend about bitcoin on how to earn with it without  investing. That is good because form that I learn how to trade and how to analyze market movement for successful investment profit.

You should not be too sure about that. John McAfee will support anything if he gets paid for it. <or so they say> He is also a very bad role model, but decide for yourself.  --> Gringo: The Dangerous Life of John McAfee - 2016 ‧ Documentary on his life.

To answer your question, I would say I would rather listen to someone like Andreas Antonopoulos, because the guy is knowledgeable on anything Crypto related and he seems to be level headed with his observations and opinions.  ;)

When it comes to bitcoin hard decisions, I don't take to no one advice, I take to my advice alone and follow my instincts. Taking to lot's of people or perhaps an advice or saying of some Gurus in the crypto space, one might really miss it hard.

Yes, the advice from one communicator will be one hundred people, one person ... in general only the news will be communicated to each other exhausted. I mean, if that's the case, why do not we say positive things to bring profits to one another? ???

So far I tend to obey my heart when talking about bitcoin. When buying, selling or holding it, indeed advice will be very necessary but if we only rely on predictions of others it will be very detrimental to ourselves, because progress will not come to us.

I have a person to lean on in terms of bitcoin and altcoin trades and holdings.If that certain person gives advices well i still consider it as my positive control on my holdings but the decision of selling it or trading is coming from me,and whatever the circumstances is I am still the one responsible on the outcome of my decision.

You must make a decision by yourself, no one can help you the whole life. You can listen to people's advice but should not believe 100%.

Hard to believe that people are still following the advice of someone who has already been outed as a paid shill. I prefer to follow news articles from multiple sources, they rarely match mcafee's advice

before investing, I usually always discuss with friends in my community. then do some personal research and after that I decide which steps I will take when I think the coin has good potential.

 I hardly trust those pieces of advice from websites and online consultants. They are sources I can not reach if anything goes wrong with my investment if I follow their advice. I am therefore resorted to following my own instincts. If am successful, my own praises and if I loose, my own risk. I only visit sites for updates but not advice.

I don't really take other's opinion when it comes to my investment,
It is my money so I should be the one to take care of it ,
Besides if I am going to loss some money because of it is it on me it is my own decision.
I wouldn't blame it on others .

Well yes... As John McAfee promised to: "if not, I will eat my dick on national television..." at Twitter as an answer to question if BTC will rise to 500k.
Then yes, he may be very... influencial...

He is awarded even a site for tracking, how is he doing: https://diegorod.github.io/WillMcAfeeEatHisOwnDick/

So yes, if You want to eat Your dick, then listen him.

I always consider other people's advice. But I always make a decision myself.

I used to follow and listen John McAfee in last 3 years for the bitcoin and the altcoin picks but i have stopped to listen him in 2018 August. He made statement in June and gave 4 coins that would go higher and i did what he says. The coins were;

Docademic - The price were $0.25 and he said the price will be $2,5 now it is $0.02

Bitcoin Private - The price were $37 and he said the price will be $250 now it is $1,62

And there were several more coins and they all lost too..

So i can never believe anyone, anymore in this business!

I agree with you, it is better to take some advice from other friends for your own good cause all your friends are gaining profit in investing in cryptocurrency. It is better to take some advices and information as guide to help you to become successful and avoid lossing your investment.

Usually I always listen to crypto experts in determining my investment, but for now when the bearish market takes place, the predictions of experts are often wrong and make me confused. so for now I trust my own research more and ask a little about crypto investment to my more senior friends.

My personal message harshly sums up everything I do when it comes up to taking advice on Bitcoin.
A successful experienced person will give you a good advice badge on his/her judgment, meaning it all depends on the person. But a lot of hardworking experience will give you your own judgment and it will depend on what you do that will matter a lot. Also, don't ever stay in 1 resource of advice. Be wise and calculate all the possibilities.

right now there are many people said that you can try to invesating in bitcoin right now because the price of bitcoin is in the very very low. and i think its true, we can try to investing in bitcoin more and more right now,a dng get the profit in the future

Taking an advice is 100% optional, meaning it is you who will be responsible for what you'll do. So, it is not right to blame others when you take their advice.
It is an advice, not a command.

You can ask for advice from other people, but in making choices, you are the most entitled to determine it, so you must also have knowledge of crypto that will make you wiser in making choices.

I think the most sounded advice here and the one I hear very often is "do not invest more than you are willing to lose" I have taken to heart that advice because sometimes you can get carried away by the FOMO or FUD and end up making bad decisions, such as investing your savings or some money you had previously earmarked for something.

I don't need anybody's advice concerning btc because i know that it is the best one ever. To my mind, it is a coin with the great future and we should support it forever. To my mind it is better to listen to your intuition only

I often read about crypto currencies on internet media and I always take part in bitcoin conversation forums so there are many guidelines about bitcoin. I often listen to bitcoin experts in conversation forums because every forum has a leader and we can ask about crypto currencies and blockchain. so I have various kinds of references about crypto from various people.

I read the opinions of famous people who predict the price of bitcoin. But I also analyze the situation myself. Based on all this, I identify the most convenient time to buy bitcoin. I always invest gradually. It really helps to catch a favorable rate.

Just because that article says he is the most influencial crypto trading figure as of the moment, you will believe it quickly. I believed him before because I was so gullible but it has changed now. It doesn't matter also if I agree or disagree with that.

And as for the decisions, I'm listening to whomever has something good to say but I won't decide base on what he said. I have my own way of determining my decisions though I may take some consideration with other people's advise.

Nobody! read about your investment portfolios and stop depending on the advices of people because none of them would help you bear your loss in case the project fails. the best thing to do is to read about what you want to invest into and always trust your instinct when it comes to your investment strategies.

don't rush into investing, read the latest news from sharing news sources so you know the best time to start investing so that in the future you get great results. my advice is careful when making decisions.

Bitcoin is many things and one of those things is an investment and when it comes to your investments you need to take your decisions by yourself, that doesn't mean that you cannot take the opinions of some people into consideration but at the end you need to form your own opinion and make your own decisions based on the information that you have.

You better don't even take any advice and use your own hand to restructure your life yourself , it just a matter of time you need to get well equipped with some knowledge about the trading skill, and believe in your ability to do it and not depend on any one advice .

Lol. I don't take that guy seriously because he charges money shilling for coins. So that doesn't go along with what a influencer is, like Andreas Antonopoulos.

So I don't follow anyone's advise, actually I do read some predictions but it doesn't mean I will follow them by heart. At the end of the day you should make your own decision, just saying.

I don't follow another's advice but i followed his guidance about bitcoin. After that i make my own research about bitcoin market and think deeply. I think future world must dominate BTC as digital currency and leterate people also accepting this. Though in this time some panic is coming form crypto market as market is dull now. Very recently better days coming and there is no doubt as well as.

For one to invest in any cryptocurrency platform it is a personnel decision.Bitcoin is one of the best among other cryptocurrency investment you should not miss but it well be nice and wise for one to conduct a research before putting in money.

It's a combination of several things, first I follow several opinions and advisors, both on Twitter, this forum and Reddit too, then I analyze the information I got and try to draw my own conclusion, if it's something that pleases me I make my investment, but if I'm still not convinced then it means that the investment is not worth it and I leave it like that.

I agree  that it is a personal decision. But of course before doing it, I will make some research. There are many resources on the net, be educated.It is okay to listen those advise but buying it is a personal decision which whatever happens you cant blame anyone.

I agree in your opinion, it's better to make your own decisions in your investment in cryptocurrency cause you can't blame anyone making wrong advice to you, it's better you learn from your own mistakes cause I know it's your experience is best teacher.

Having good knowladge in crypto is very important to make our own decisition.
It is ok if we ask our friend or someone who is good at crypto, but it will be nicer if we can make our own decisition.
More ever the price of bitcoin recently bad and back to the beggining of 2017.
Holding, investmen, selling or buying become a hard thing to choose.

I subscribe to several competent channels in social networks, where experienced investors share tips on investing. I perceive them, analyze them and then make my own opinion. I don't follow these tips blindly, just take into account.

it doesn't hurt us to consider someone's advice when we are confused to do something. but we also have to be careful and careful because there are also people who want to plunge us into error. the most important thing is that we must always believe that we are confident and stable about what we have now.

all decisions are in our hands, no one can manage us. because the decision depends on us personally. then we must be smart in choosing something we choose later

I only take my own advice but there are people who I respect and follow. Those people don't care about the price and remain very confident. I like listening to them because their confidence is contagious and they always entertain me. Andreas Antonopoulos, Max Keiser are both great and I also like BitcoinMeister, who always makes me laugh.

I generally do not take anyone's advice, but I do consider them when making my decisions. It is always better to have some basis rather than just going in with gut feelings in my bag. So yeah, I do not ignore other's opinions coz many of them are still worth considering.

Yes you ate right this person McAfee is the most influencial person in our time we know who is Mcafee. Based also on my friend that this person if he is saying that this year will bitcoin rise it rise so I think we should believe on this person because he is full of confidence  and influencial person and one of the biggest businessman in our time.

Mostly I make my own decision though I am seeking for an advice to others still the decision is in my hands. Before making a decision in holding, selling, buying, trading and investing. I want to read more article about it, I want to read others point of view shared in this forum before making a decision. Its hard to make a decision without basis especially that crypto world is very risky.

I am very sure this depends on the individual approach. It's not a bad idea to consult with other people and get their suggestions or opinions about bitcoin especially those who expect in the area but for me I plan and take action at my personal discretion without third parties after personally. Therefore our success here is in our hands and will depend on your decision too. Even though my friend told me about this matter and I believed it, that's why I studied here and found out its potential. watching and seeing all the perspectives of the opportunity gave me.

The advice I will take when it comes to bitcoin, is my close friend that have already experienced ahead of me in bitcoin activities and already have techniques in running bitcoin investments, so I also take advices from other which are senior in bitcoin activities.

In my opinion, we should continue to hold or buy more Bitcoin until the end of this year to look at the market situation because the current is too bad. Selling BTC now means you accept the loss and I do not think so. The decision is up to you so be careful.

Personally, before making a decision we need a piece of advice of other users. We need it to have a basis before we decide something, because Crypto world is so risky so that we need to read, research or seek for an advice before anything else. We can not do something without a concern with other people. Its hard to make a decision by yourself because we knew that it is very disappointing once we lose some of our money because of a wrong decision. However, even though we are looking for some advises still at the end of the day we are the only person who will decide what we are going to do.

I do not think so, because I have not seen the results of your advice but I know you want to say that first of all let's pour more bitcoin now because the price is so cheap, and waiting for the price to rise we will be rich. That's you mean  ::).

I do take advice because even I was trading bitcoin for a long time it has become a wide spread market in the world so unlike earlier days there are many reasons for bitcoin price to change in exchanges so I always make decisions through expert advises who knows and have experience more than my and some of them are my friends and some of them are traders I met during my journey of crypto trading

I know some pretty experienced investors with whom I am in a friendly relationship and I regularly consult with them on all matters relating to bitcoin. It is quite convenient, and so I am much more confident in my decisions.

That man always making an speculative price but none of it was right, i don't think i can believe to his advice if he has anymore. But there is one thing that i know when the market seems to be declining i would rather invest and hodl my cryptos and wait for the bull run just in case.

of course advice from people or friends who are more experienced and have long been here because they know all about what bitcoin is. after that I will consider it and make a decision that I think is good.

I don't really seek advice from other people. I just do what i think is the right thing to do. And at the end of day the final decision is always in our hand.

For me, I prefer to take the advice of the most experienced person when it comes to bitcoin. We all know from the start that it is unpredictable. We cannot totally say what will happen in the next day, month or year. Better we always be ready and minimize huge expectations.

very good indeed if you have friends who are good at trading, especially if they understand about TA and FA. But if we're never try on our effort and only depends on someone's professional opinion, we will never be able to develop our own trading skills

Right.We will never be as good as them if we keep on leaning to them.Atleast we should try to make our own research and learn from it so that we will move based on our own decisions,and not from someone else's.So that if we fail in the end,we have no one to blame but only ourselves.But of course we should learn from our own mistakes and be better the next time around.

I take advice from people like me, Bitcoin bulls. I'm a fan of Trace Mayer. He's so confident that not many people can keep up the pace. Also, he's not afraid to bet money and back up his claims with real trades, unlike some enthusiasts. John Mcafee is one of those manipulators who say something at first and then squirm out of it. He's an example of someone who I wouldn't follow.

I think getting an opinion to the other people you have a doubt investing in crypto, if you continue studying and reading about when is the right opportunity to invest in cryptocurrency is during the price dips, but do not depend on the other people for your crypto investment just make your own decisions choosing what coin do you invest.

Honestly speaking I take those advice from expert but still have some part of me before I take decision. Not all the time I follow their advice, sometimes I follow what I think js right and just consult to expert if that decision was right or wrong. In fact we dont need others to decide even on our won we can do that but we must be careful and think of it many times before we do an action.

before join in bitcoin and cryptocurrency, people need to know about their decision, it's same that when they want to follow the people signal to buy and sell bitcoin I think they should know about the risk when they join with the signal.

You should decide your life, not to be affected by others. But before you decide, you should do your own researches. I told you to do investment as you wish but You must search more, not invest without any knowledge.

suggestions that we can input usually from the teachers or can find special guides for us to make guidelines, we can take part in forums that do have topics about bitcoin, but we can also make our own observations by looking at price movements that always run from time to time , although many methods are references for us, everything depends on our wishes.

I listen advice from my girlfriend. She studied economy and knows a lot about cryptocurrencies and other economic trends.

I read about the article you shared, I used to think that I should not introduce Crypto to anyone because I know there is a risky market. I believe that everything will always make new entrants to Crypto still fail, so I do not want to drag people into bad things.

On the bitcoin journey you will surely learned a lot, you can't base on one person only, use all the information you get as an inspiration and a tip to reach your goals, it would took a lot of research since you can't rely on people even though they're popular, some only use fame for money.

Before deciding something that is about Bitcoin, I usually ask some advice from my friend who is knowledgeable in cryptocurrencies and in Bitcoin. I don't invest until my friend says.

  I think its a good side mate, but I prefer to learn it from myself and keep reading to engage knowledgeable informations from those people who has a lot of experiences in crypto currency. And so I apply it myself to elaborate my wisdom appropriable and take it as my advantages on earning profits.

for now I only read discussions and from forums about bitcoin and learn to analyze every development that occurs and can understand all the risks that will be received from investments with crypto currencies

Follow the advice of another person, then you trust him. I do not recommend trusting people from the Internet whom you do not know live.

 
 
  As I have been entered cryptocurrency, I encountered different thoughts from this forum that has shared with relevant outcast. And that's how I engage information from my experiences. Thus, we can create wisdom with our motivations and eagerness to learn individually, on which only ourselves has a capacity to develope and analyze the strategy for an advisable aspect.

News and pronouncements from some notable crypto personel can decide the price  in the market and this is why the influencers are considered during trading.Most crypto traders follow these crypto influencer's statements  and they believe that these men are authority when it comes to cryptocurrency trading and hence their prediction they will consider before making any trading moves. It is real.

First I decided to invest was a suggestion from a friend, he had invested in bitcoin from 2013 and got a lot of money from bitcoi so as I was interested in following my friend's steps. However, after I bought bitcoin and then searched for bitcoin as a whole, especially the function of bitcoin and what to do when investing in bitcoin like what strategy should I choose. Eventually at least I already know how to invest and the potential of bitcoin in the future, so I don't depend on what others talk about and not easily incited by some bad information.

I don't follow anyone's words. I do with my own instincts. Read and see the latest news about Bitcoin, see market movements and analyze with my ability personally. Because in my opinion, not all one's words are always true.

When it comes in this kind of investment I always take an advice from my friends who are really good in this kind of investment. But, sometime I do my own investment and when I do my own investment I lose few amount of money so because of that I learned I need to study more and and I need to gain more knowledge about this kind of investment.

at the first time in bitcoin trading and bitcoin investment, i see there are many people that find the signal signal from the bitcoin expert about buy time, sell time. for me i think its useless be the trader and investor if you follow the signal like that. so maybe it will more good when you make your own decision

I think about crypto currencies I think I see from forums and news about crypto currencies and there is a lot of information that will really help us invest in crypto currencies

 I think that btc advice is better to accept from experts who know all its main features and peculiarities. To my mind, it is necessary to get btc only if you know how to make money with it

Although I read the article ,quite understood about their ideology on the cryptocurrency but l believe on personal analysis of Bitcoin than taking advice from any body. No body is an expert in the field of trading crypto asset because prediction that came early this year 2018 from expert most are yet to be fulfill. So my opinion take risk at your own discretion , result of risk is either positive or negative so use wisdom

It is right, gaining knowledge about crypto currencies this forum is very good because there are many people who share knowledge with us about crypto and we gain more knowledge, and also know that which coin is best and which is not best for trading and investment.

When I decide to invest in bitcoin usually I myself research the market with my own way personally I love to pay attention to my own decision. I know bitcoin is highly volatile in price it is not stable its price might be ups and down. So I think patience is the important key here for an advice.

To take a good decision is carefully examined then find the source and seek opinions from those who are experienced (legendary)

I read a lot, I men a lot of different sources, i read also TA. But i dont belive to noone.
I decide to believe arguments , my strategy is based on facts and logic composed of many sources. if i dont have enough info to feel comfortable with my decisions, i am not doing anything.

Personally i don't take peoples advice hook, line, and sinker but i comparatively weigh their advice and then take my own personal decisions base on my findings on the subject matter.

I suggest every new people follow others to learn about cryptocurrency but never follow someone's strategy or predictions where crypto doesn't have any control! Everyone should make an own strategy! Personally, I am not following anyone for many days! I blindly follow my minds about bitcoin investing or trading! Holders have no choice except holding! Because they hold bitcoin from the beginning of this year to see a good price of it. But at this moment bitcoin price is far below than expectations! So, they must hold tight until the market grows up!

I mainly listen to those who knows what he/she is talking about. If theme is about cryptocurrencies i follow my trading plan and proven strategy. Trading decisions is tough for non professional traders. I dont accept the advice of guys who call themselves as "guru".

I have to do my own research, not follow experts' advice because ultimately I put my fate in my own hands

I take advice from my pockets and my sense of reasoning because as much enticing as any influencer might try to appear, I will not borrow to invest or invest more than I should.

I monitor famous crypto enthusiast and their predictions, but I always do my own research and make a decision on my investment. I think that it’s wrong to blindly follow someone’s advice no matter who he/she is. Those people who take someone’s advice are afraid of responsibility. They want to have a person that would be blamed if they lose money and it’s very convenient. I think if you are really interested in something you will learn everything you can about it.

i fully agree with that. even that person is so famous, you can't trust those pieces of advice. it's only you who can decide what you will gonna do with your bitcoin or any other altcoin. even if you blame them afterwards, it's only futile. because at the end of the day, it's your money which is at stake here. and nobody but you is responsible for that.

I just follow my decisions! I keep reading different articles that can help me to understand more the cryptocurrencies and the whole blockchain technology. I keep researching because I know that I can use my knowledge in the near future.

I always like to follow what the market trend is. Bitcoin most atimes is influenced by news and that's what I follow. I like to buy the rumours and always sell the news

for me investment is in your own mind and in your hands and hearts so that it is not wrong for someone to be chosen as an advisor and I think it is better than the bottom of my heart than others

I am a Bitcoin investor ,one day I reading a online magazine,then I come into introduction with Bitcoin,one year after my colleague suggest me to invest in crypto...so from there to till now I am alive in cryptocurrency.

"guru" can be interpreted as a teacher. but that doesn't mean they have crypto skills, you're right I will listen to someone talk if they
know what they are talking about, if they give certain evidence what he said maybe I will trust him and start investing like what he said

The choice you  make is in youre hands,i dont believe anything on the internet, i trust people that i know that had experience with bitcoin, lucky for me i have a friend thats a bitcoin user.Every day his doing something with bitcoin.So the choice is yours.Good luck!

Your own knowledge is the greatest skill for overcoming any problem and when its about cryptocurrencies one must done the whole homework in order to succeed well in the area of trading in cryptocurrencies.

Well, I do the same but I don't really "follow" the market's trend, I make a strategy or a plan based on what is happening in the market. If you can analyse the possible movements of the price, I think it will really give you a good profit in the future. Some of those news might also be a scam or a FUD so you really need to be careful, in the end, the Bitcoin price chart is still the safest source of information as an investor.

I prefer to do my own research. I listen and read different opinions and after make my own decisions. The same as with the other spheres of life.

I always follow my elder brother advice because he is a expert in cryptocurrency trading and gambling. He suggested me to introduce my self in bitcoin and altcoins. I always copy him.

That depends on your understanding anyway, because no matter how good the advise of the community member here in the forum, if you don't feel to follow others advise you won't do it for sure. Meaning, your success here will also depend on your choice decision too. If you choose rightly of course you will reap the benefit of it.

you can have an advice to anyone.
It will give you more information to take.
But never believe them, make it as a fundamental and make your own studies and research.
At the end, all the decision will be on your self.

I believe in anyone's advice as long as it is positive, and can provide useful input, but beforehand I had to study it first, to find out the truth of his advice. So not advice from whom we should hear, but which advice's right, then that advice's what we must take.

I followed the advice of my friends on the WhatsApp group, especially when the market is bearish as it is today, I really need advice so I can continue to hold the cryptocurrency that I have. and I always follow the news about the cryptocurrency that is always circulating on investment sites.

It's good to know that all advice for investment is not always a certainty for profit.  These people are humans and must not always be right.  Take advice from them but take decision yourself so you can stand for your decision in case anything happens for the positive or negative to avoid blaming anyone for your predicament. 

This year, compared to last year, I decided not to trust mass news, I rely only on my own Analytics and Analytics of good professionals.

Reading and re-reading the prognoses of the crypto and financial specialists, I understand that even these trusted people were mistaken in almost everything that is connected with Bitcoin.

Good professionals have constantly warned about crypto.

If you are still in crypto you either are listening to fools or you are a fool (or both)

I listen to no one other than my guts. I do my research thoroughly then make my decision based on my findings. Whatever happens afterwards is solely mine and mine alone to bare, rather than listening to someone else that just FUD around.

now I don't believe in news because a lot of news makes people confused and will only make wrong decisions and make many people panic. a lot of news that is intentionally made for the benefit of a particular group, I prefer investment as I wish, I think this is the best choice for now.

I agree that the decision is always on our hands but we still need the opinion of others before we take an action. Though we know that it is risky to invest, we are take the chance before the price goes up and wait to become worth again. Sometimes I am joining with my friend and we both do same thing when it comes to investment and together we are gaining.

Actually none, I follow my own news sites and advisors on twitter and then I go analyzing the data when I need some opinion on a subject, of course, all this I do when it is really important, otherwise, I follow the news on Reddit and this forum more than anything else.

It's good that so many of you follow your own advice. The worst thing you can do is following influencers on youtube who are screaming what will happen in a day or a month and end up being wrong. There's so many of these so called "traders" who make a video "bitcoin has bottomed" and 2 days later bitcoin falls and they make a video "where's the bottom? 3000?" :D

Well when it comes to invest i think it will be appropriate if you follow your own instinct, which doesn't mean you shouldn't listen to others. But trust me listening much from others could just break all hopes. So for me i invest as i wish but also listens to the advice of the pioneers.

In the best interest of the investor, it is always good to read around and ask questions before you put your hard earned money in any project. It is also  extremely important to study the market trend too.

Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general do not play by the principle of advice, its about understanding how the decentralized world operates. No matter the number of advice crypto experts share, if you don't understand its cos 90....

i started out learning bitcoin on fb. there is this group called cryptocoin traders, it really did speed up my curve

It is up to individuals whose advice they want to take. If they trust that particular person about Bitcoin then be it. Let themselves decide. Usually, individuals will only take advice from well-experienced users or experts because they need someone they trust to guide them.

I make my own research when it comes to bitcoin investment but i also give a thought to the analysis of some renowned crypto analysts. I would not encourage anybody to take the opinions of members of this forum to be as a form of investment advice because of the volatility of cryptocurrencies.

I will choose the one who is almost years using bitcoin. Because they are the one who is proven and tested the system of bitcoin. They know how to handle things especially those moments that bitcoin is in critical situations. Like, low keys and high keys of bitcoin. They expertly know how to handle when it comes in that situation. When to invest and when to not.

Actually no one because i run out my own investment and i will be the one to decide in what coin i will invest. I do not want to take advices from anyone atleast I myself is the responsible for the possible earnings or losses.

I don't really seek advice from other people. I just do what i think is the right thing to do. And at the end of day the final decision is always in our hand.  ;) 8)

Before when I eared of Bitcoin I was not mowing about it but when I started searching in Google and then I came to know about it so I did not took any advice for other but I took my own one..

Actually, I always ask some advise to my friend about bitcoin investment because all my friend are now good in investing cryptocurrecies. When it comes in bitcoin investment you need to have person who will give an advise so it will help to avoid lossing money.

And that is the correct way of thinking, when it comes to investments I see many people just looking for a secret formula to make a lot of money, which is a very important reason of why there are many television shows that are all about what are the hottest stocks in the market right now but that is not the way to invest, you need to identify which asset is going to go up before that happens.

As for the philosophy related to Blockchain and Bitcoin technology, for me the greatest authority is Andreas Antonopoulos. He is famous Bitcoin evangelist since 2012.
I recommend visiting his website and follow him on Tweeter:

https://antonopoulos.com/

https://twitter.com/aantonop

I always listen to the advice of many people, but I have never followed the advice of that person, I am more inclined to develop my own decisions in investing, and compare the suggestions that I hear.

When it comes to investment i don't really look up to any specific advice. Any advice is welcomed of which under my review will determine whether its relevant or not. Therefore  anyone could  advise everybody regardless of his or her knowledge level.

I never ask for an advice from anyone specific. I usually do a thorough research that sometimes includes checking actions and opinions of other people but always with an explanation. I never take in consideration if anyone says that they invested in any coin based on zodiac, the position of the stars or because they feel it in their gut. If you can back up your opinion with some statistics or fundamental analysis, I will gladly listen.

Until now, my decision to buy or sell bitcoin, it followed other people, or was told by someone else that I paid to predict the price of bitcoin. there is a telegram channel that provides predictions about the price of bitcoin, not only bitcoin, but various altcoins. I follow the channel and Until now the prediction is pretty good.

Well I am not that familiar with any Bitcoin analyst, I usually takes my trusted friends when it comes to Bitcoin, since they disseminate information towards me, which I analyzed to gave my own interpretation in what is happening these days, my knowledge regarding this were not enough for me to conclude something so I am trying to read articles as much as possible.

If I didn't followed the advise of the people of the forum before I wouldn't stay here and probably I sold most of my coins. And it's a different thing from listening to John McAfee's word. I don't believe with his prediction but it's no doubt that he's one of the most influential person right now.

Everything he say is valuable to these medias but not for us. Every expert once a newbie and I've learned that taking advice of others isn't bad, you just need to extract the good things that you can adopt especially in risk taking in crpto's.

Advices is an option not an obligation so when you receive advices theres no need to do it right away,better do your own research and analyzation about when,where and why to buy so if things comes to worst you can only blame yourself.
And dont ever forget that this is your money and you worked hard for that so better that the decision is from yours and nothing from others

advice from friends who told me he got an additional bonus money by following the bounty and then exchanging the token to disburse it in the form of money so that it could be used daily or I could profit in the future.

We are talking about bitcoin here and not about bounty or altcoins/tokens , etc..    Anyway , that is still acceptable to take advice from friends especially if you already knew them because they can easily teach you about the mechanics on how cryptocurrency works  .

In my case ,  i dont usually take advice from anyone else because im an independent person .  i just discovered cryptocurency all by myself by just doing a research online    .

i am also like you, i always listen to the advice of others.

but i always consider and study it first before deciding to follow the advice of others.
because advice from other people is not necessarily entirely true.

I learned self-taught from the beginning, but indeed my abilities developed after becoming acquainted and communicating actively with some people who had more experiences that could inspire me. I learned a lot from him and applied it to myself when teaching other people. At first I considered bitcoin a valuable souvenir, but I realized that bitcoin was bigger than that.

honestly, until now I still always ask my sisters who are involved in this bitcoin investment first. I asked for his opinion and I will also look at the graph, suggestions that I think are good, I will obey if not, I should consider. The advice or advice I ask is so that I will not lose a lot of money, but with the consideration that I am taking, I will not blame my sister for giving advice.

When we are going to invest in Bitcoin, of course we must know all the things that are related to the investment itself, not only the profit we have to know, but the risk we must also anticipate, therefore there is no mistake if we learn from who are experienced, but to do so all decisions are in the hands of the fund holder.

Follow your judgement, so that you will not regret and you will not blame anyone. It's good to hear others' suggestions/opinions but weigh them wisely. You study the market yourself. There are a lot of tools available that can be useful. Start from the basic, from the history of bitcoin to its previous and present charts. This way, you can understand it better and can make it work to your advantage. Remember: at the end of the day, it's you who will benefit or suffer from your gains or losses, so don't put this important decision in others' hands.

When it comes to bitcoin , I would love to hear from my close friend ,which can I be trusted, I may also considered advice fron the senior member of the bitcoin forum , they are experienced and can give a brotherly advice to their co members seeking for an important ideas about bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

yes it is indeed a wise way, by asking for and hearing opinions from other people who are more knowledgeable and experienced, because then we have more options to make decisions, because if we only take the initiative themselves sometimes it tends to be wild lust that does not controlled, so that we cannot be wise in making decisions.

I listened to the advice of many people via the internet or youtube, but the advice must be filtered again because the conditions are not necessarily suitable for me. I believe that by receiving a lot of input, more information about bitcoin can be taken into consideration when making decisions.

Regardless of how many advise they have on you, you are still the one responsible in making decision but it also good to take a look on what they shared specially those whoa re expert on this field and one who has many experiences on it. taking heed on their advise also give you a chance to warn whenever there is scam.

Some of my friend are known about bitcoin i heard that someone invest in it then earn a lot of money and change there life, but im not believ on it because idont know them if its true or just making story. I just believ on it when my brother buy a house and the reason is bitcoin. Thats now im hoping that someday ican buy my own too from the sake of bitcoin.

Every decision i made in this community either investing or withdrawals i will make sure that it was my sole decision and not from others because this is my money and i want no one to blme when i fail so just believe un yourself and not with this damn speculators that only have their own interest of profiteering

When it comes on beginning some things that may affect my bitcoin, I like to hear some advices from my expert friends, because they are ahead of me in terms of it, about what to do or the best thing to do and after hearing the advices I think about it a lot of times before taking an action. I do not do something on my own yet because I am still learning it.

My friend was give an advice to me to involved in bitcoin but it does not make me automatically joining and earn bitcoin because at that time i was lack of knowledge but after i learn basic knowledge bitcoin and cryptocurrency or how does it work then i was decide to involved but indeed i do not too rush when i decide to involved in the particular things

not from advertisements on social media, because I am a little closed to social media. I get a suggestion to enter the bitcoin industry by my friend who has got a pretty good profit from bitcoin investment and also from bounty. therefore I was finally interested and finally entered the industry.

As a newbie, I would take some advices from a Chinese investor named Xiaolai Li. But his suggestions are not something specific, but constructive and guiding, I actually benefit from which.

I always rely on myself but there's so many great people in the Bitcoin community that when I'm in doubt I go to youtube and listen to some of the well known Bitcoin bulls. Not the TA guys, the people who are holders and used to be holders in 2011 because they knew how this invention will change the world. One of the great comparisons is that none of us had a chance to invest in the Internet in the early 70s and 80s. Bitcoin is this opportunity all over again.

Of a truth there are informations that do affects our investments decision and most of those informations do come inform of advice from friends and those we meet online.  I could remember how a friend advice me to by ripple when it was around $2 early this year and now my investment is currently at loses.  Trading and bitcoin investments is game and I think one should develop its skills and knowledge on how to go about it before investing.  Those that lose money are those that invested through someone advice.

Exactly.I guess that's still the best thing to do.We should not stop from learning in bitcoin because everyday there are new things that will arise.So in times when we have doubts what decisions to make,i'll just make a long study and sometimes i also asks some of my closest friends who are legends of bitcoin.I know in the end i just have to rely in my self.

I do not take or look for advices i better make my own decision so after making bad decision myself i dont blame others for listening to them =D Sometimes i watch some prediction , just to know what other people think , but i dont make my decisions based on them :)

Advice is good for us, as long we can obtain the advice from a trusted resource but i never blindly follow their advice.
Aside from advice, we need to do our own due diligence when we are involving in cryptocurrency.
Our money, our responsibility. So we need to take caution when we want to investing on some coins.

Absolutely! We can seek advice from the influencers or experts but at the end of the day our biggest competitor here is not our co-bitcoiners, it's ourselves. Our attitude would really tell how productive, committed, and serious we are in taking the task responsibly. We need to do our part and not to depend much on others as they are also busy doing their own ways. Nobody can help and save us but ourselves. Helping each other towards success is good but sometimes we also need to be independent and learn from bad and good experiences, from our failures because in that way it could help us become wiser, braver, and stronger.

- Of course, I do not see any reason to trust others in our investment decisions, even if they are an acquaintance, a trusted person because the loss and profit in investment are ours, every decision we make can lead to different results. And with such important issues, we can not trust advice or any news from others, they are not responsible for this investment, they do not lose money or pressure while we are the opposite, we can be the loser and receive great pressure, so we need to be absolutely careful, analyze every problem, we can not subjective or believe in others

I take those advice that comes from my friend who was the reason why I knew and have bitcoin. Since they are the one who invited me here, and I see in their life the benefit that bitcoin gives to them. I believe that their advice was pretty much better than the advice that I get from the forum because some advice that I saw in the forum lead me before to lose my money.

The crypto market is growing at an exponential rate. New coins are rising above ground almost every day. In such a scenario, it is imperative that you check the top sources and then make a decision. Making such investments on a whim would be a mistake. So yes, I do think it is important to check your most trusted sources before you invest.

The thing is we don't all have the same level of skill when it comes to handling investments. What works for your brother may not work for you. You have to find your own feel of the market though it's always useful to get assistsnce from people who've been there. Both successful and those that lost.

When I make decisions about bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency, it does not matter whether I buy or sell, I am always guided only by personal knowledge and most importantly personal experience. The network is a lot of people advising to do one way or another, but none of them will be able to give you accurate information about the next steps.

I will try to be more polite and say that it is not right to listen to all these prognoses. Even the best so-called crypto specialists make mistakes regularly. Trust yourself only.

Personally, I no longer believe any experts and their predictions, since I understand that no one can predict how events will develop further in the cryptocurrency market and what the price of Bitcoin or any other coin will be. But it is obvious that now is the right time to buy Bitcoin, because the price has dropped very low.

 There is no better advise than the very one you give to yourself so you have no one to blame for your misfortunes as an investor you should be able you make you own research and analysis yourself and make better choices

Absolutely! You can have the final decision but try to weigh things out, never ignore the pieces of advise you received from influencers as you can learn a lot from them. You should learn to filter which you find interesting and applicable or not. Moreover, don't depend much on others, be adaptable and independent. Be strategic, find your own strategies because not all strategies that work for others will also work for you. Aside from taking their advise you should be able to do your own part in learning new things and in exploring for more creative ideas, because at the end of the day, everything you learn and all your hardwork will be rewarded and will be paid off, it will never be taken away from you. Learn not for compliance but for life.

Is best to understand crypto before taken anyother person advice ,either been an analyst or expert so that you can understand the advice that is given to you.

not sure. sometimes I follow someone's advice, sometimes according to my own wishes. following the advice of someone who is smart at predicting, so we always profit.
and do as I want, so that we learn and experience and not depend on others.

I did not hear the advice of others when making decisions for Bitcoin.. instead, I don't like hearing the advice of others, but with the current market conditions I feel that anyone's opinion has no effect. but sometimes I make opinions in groups trading on WhatsApp and telegram as a benchmark too.

I just read some news but the decision will be mine well it's my money and investment so if i take others advice and it goes wrong i will totally blame that person. So the best thing is to make own research follow what your instinct says and if anything goes wrong you don't have to blame anyone but yourself.

I this crypto space I don't see any one special to take their advice serious like that cause every one has their way of doing things and saying what they feel or know doesn't say I must follow their way, so I believe in researching myself and follow my mind in any way and if I loss or gain I can know where the mistake is from or think more to make it right but following all these prediction that are not that useful is just a waste of time and making you weak as well as you will majorly will not be abke to take decision on your own which is bad for any crypto enthusiast.

Not many people around who understand  about bitcoin, so I just read articles and look at the trend. I have benn here since long time ago and I have learned many thing about the market. Bitcoin it self is very depends on the sentiments. When market look at bitcoin in the positive way then then price will rise because the hype will influence peiple to make decisions about buy bitcoin. There are some website in indonesian language that I thrust so I follow it. Many FUD that spread sometimes it's hard to know which one is the thrusted one.  Sometime I also got some advice from my family.

For me, i don't agree with just one person's advise. I'd rather take the advice of the majority or the experts. But with this article, its just comparing one person to other's point of view. And its kind of regretful thing when you follow ones advise then you just knew then that its wrong. So, better to follow self advise.

I prefer to decide on my own what to do with my finances: how and in what to invest them. Many major analysts announce certain forecasts specifically in order to confuse people and get profit from it. This, of course, is my subjective opinion, but I adhere to this position.

I just follow my instincts though I also consider things that has been brought up by someone. I know that the system has some difficult aspects especially in its technical aspects but when it comes to trading and decision making, it is me, myself and I decides about the matter so that there could be no regrets in the negative consequences that will going to happen.

Actually i just ask some advice to ny friend who's engage i this industry for almost 5 years. He taught me to observe and read some article how bitcoin works invest and keep untill the price is high sell it.

If you want to high risk high reward investment , crypto is the best option.
Remember that crypto still 8 years old and it's still young because I can see the future potential where anything will gone digital especially on transaction purpose.

my friend offer me some job, actually he want me to make new account here and take part from bitcoin. for the first time, he just show that crypto is good to earn money, but at least we are talking about technology advances from bitcoin.
with it, you can earn and move to the future faster than them that dont know about crypto

I don't recommend following other people's advice, unless they've also invested in the coin that they are recommending, when it comes to investment, it's every one for himself set up a criteria find out everything about the project, do your own assignment, and not others let you do it for yourself.

As far as I know I won't invest on anything just because someone adviced me to do,I will only do when I have trust on it and crypto investment made by me is one of it.But I will ask for suggestions always like in forum or the experts based on which investment is going to be.

i follow various websites news and then decide most influential people also don't know what might happen in the crypto field so we can only rely on various news websites in other hand gain knowledge about technology and take own decision

I also do not remember any prediction which helped anybody and which was truthful. I guess, everybody realized that it is better to listen to yourself, trust statistics and do not panic.

Nobody's. I do my own research, listen and read different opinions and make my own decisions. Just like in any other sphere.

Who he is this McAfee? In the news about the crypto currency, his statements and news are always taken lightly. For me, he has no authority in the decision to invest in cryptocurrencies. I'm used to trust myself and rely on the opinions of real analysts. If you want to trust someone with your funds for investment, then do it wisely. Find the company where your Deposit will be insured.

I take advise and following from google most of the things i learn but i heard about bitcointalk forum to someone first of all he guided something. Than when i face problem just i'm going to search in google because every resource in this search engine.

The beginners, certainly, need help a lot, but very often they get a piece of a useless advice and make mistakes that let them lose. Suppose, it will be better to get knowledge about crypto from youtube and from your own experience as well.

Asking others opinion is a good idea specially to those who have already experience  because they can give you some advice on what to do but the last decisions is yours. Youll be the one to decide rather to hold or invest.
