80 % of people got involved in crypto from September-December and afterwards, they lost interest to invest watching their investments going down. Companies, corporations and politicians , let's say they filled their bags. And only after all of that we will see some positive regulation

But I firmly stand on my point that the only way for crypto to have a long life is the adoption and not just price speculation. And this will come from all of us. Start in little but whenever you got the chance to pay smth with cryptocurrency, just do it. Let's give real world value to the coins we hold.

That is true, adoption is the most important thing that cryptocurrency needs to set some strong roots. I know there are some streaming sites that you can pay subscription with btc and eth. Or even to buy cosmetics, tech and even gambling with cryptocurrency. I wouldn't recommend this last one though  ;D

You're right. Accepted by the communities outside cryptospace, companies and by the government (but not in a regulated way, I hope, I don't know how). For now, let the crypto start-ups to be a registered company, and let the company develop their platform/product as well as their own blockchain.

I agree, I am supporting the best projects I believe are going for mass adoption and will give a positive impact globally. It starts with us not to participate in the shitcoins or scam coins.

Projects that have raised capital by the end of 2017 have not really created value for the community, the industry is too new and needs time to grow.
Investing at this time is very risky, but the risk goes along with the profit, find out the project, find out potential projects and invest for future.
I sold out all of tokens to invest in Organicco: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3379079
Hope they can reach caps soon and start make our world better!

it's true that adopting cryptocurrency is something we have to do, because if we have and sell it it's a big mistake

I am also an investor at the time of September 2017. I also invest a large amount of money in this market. It is important that you know how to stop loss the right time and buy it for a better price. If you are truly a true investor, find out the coin that you hold and place your trust in it, place your trust in the market. If that's not the case, then quickly pull out of this market.

The adoption still ongoing and soon, people will see that their investment in the cryptocurrency will grow too. That's true that people lost interest by watching their investment value is going down, but I am sure that in someday, they can see their investment will become bigger. Right now, many people using the chance to buy as much coin as they can because they know that soon, the situations will change and they can make a big profit. We only need to wait for the time so we can see what we did before will give something big for us, so be patient.

$ 200 billion for the cryptocurrency market is a drop in compared to what could be. you just need to be patient and wait for the real investors to come

It's true we need to be patient for the market going better again and I also believe that the real investors will come soon. Adopting cryptocurrency are we need to do.

You absolutely right...cause this reason BTC has accepted by many people in worldwide...adoption and solid community that use crypto for use in real life....one story' is 1000 btc for buy pizza...cause of this many people has accepted btc for buy goods in real life...but right now is only hype,speculatuion, and community only thing of him/her self not united... community should contribute for their crypto... BTC can accepted cause many community has contribute for BTC like (make wallet app,make Service via btc and etc)...so evosystem of BTC is life in over community... don't wait big investor...we are investor that buy crypto for using in real life....

And the consequences after the adoption you imagine. Maybe it will be even worse than now, because the income tax will be introduced. First you need to have less hamsters on the market, which should reduce volatility, then you can do without regulation.

Good advice and observations. what I understand, someone who buys crypto, must think to connect, not only buy cheap or declining prices and sell prices up. For payment of payments, there are still few who can accept as a transaction tool.

real adoption without the support of the government will not succeed and something that is useless. like regulations in a country that only allows fiat money as a legitimate payment and if we use crypto, then we have committed illegal actions. indeed in some countries crypto has become a means of payment and is often used to buy goods. on average the people also do not know crypto and I think the first thing to do is to educate about crypto

And adoption will only happen when there is regulation. Irony as it is.
The rest of us oppose regulations because it would be decentralized soon and that crypto survives without government intervening its development. With all these being discussed, all your money put into crypto are now -80%, can you imagine what they did? And regulations aren't even there yet.

The product plays a vital role in the project as the project is related to the product itself. Whatever the planning, strategies, marketing and advertising will depend upon the product so yes, a product is important for a project.

Incodium has developed a solution to protect users and investors against the rising threat of cryptocurrency hacks. Incodium is achieving this through an API-based Smart Contract Solution.

The cryptocurrency market’s valuation has crossed the $300 billion mark. As the value of the market grows, there is an urgent need to beef up security measures. Given the rapidly increasing in cryptocurrency exchange hacks, there needs to be a solution to this problem.

Until now, when an exchange gets hacked, the process of identification of theft and compensation to the user take days or even weeks to be processed at times.

Incodium aims to revolutionize the way compensation is provided through a simple, transparent and actionable platform. Their “Smart Compensation Protection” service determines the extent of the loss occurred and the amount of compensation that needs to be provided.

Here's story in telegram grup
James Allen:
As we wrap up our time (for now) in Ia, the CoffeeCoin project is very happy to announce our support of Mr. Iwan Raus and Kahiyang Coffee's Greenbelt initiative to connect Ia coffee farmers directly with domestic roasters and cafes. Previously, small farmers and cooperatives had to sell their coffee at the cheapest price to large buyers who processed and exported their coffees in bulk to international commercial buyers.

The Greenbelt initiative helps small coffee growing cooperatives to sell their best beans at a higher price directly to local buyers and provides an opportunity for local cafes to roast, serve and introduce delicious Ia coffees direct from source to local and international tourists. A win-win solution from farm-to-cup.

As their mission aligns with ours, we have agreed to work together. We have provided this locally-built roaster for their project and look forward to integrating our CoffeeCoin payments and COF-powered blockchain coffee tracking and tracing into their project over the coming year.

this example that's we can use....try to use in country that allowed peer to peer use crypto....

It is funny to hear people saying price do not matter, it does matter, apart from the people that were in the space during Satoshi days and when 1000BTC was used to by Pizza, most people enter the space because we saw the price of BTC moving up. I can assure you if btc goes to $1 today most people won't by it, because those people saying it is going back to $20k are nor buying now that it is $6k

Mass adoption or cryptocurrency is really the next step in its life cycle as it will not only make it grow more but it will also stabilize the current prices that we have today. However there are still many people who are either hesitant or does not know cryptocurrency and I think what we need to do is become an advocate of cryptocurrency because in that way we can make more people be interested to it and its adoption.

Yes that is true, in addition to this is that even though all of the people adapt to this system. More and more company will create a system like this, and I think that is one of the reasons why do cryptocurrency fall. because money in our market keeps on distributed on multiple crypto.

Many people lost interest, but the people that know about the business are around catchin th good fish and ignoring the crap. It has been healthy for the market to remove wanabees.

Honestly the high volatility involved in crypto is also not very healthy, who wouldn't be discouraged to see his investment crash in value in very such period. I would prefer a period of healthy regulation where investment protection can be enhanced and confidence will be boosted. But currently crypto is riddled with a lot of scams and used to perpetrate some ills

Totally agree with you my friend. Crypto needs more support from us. As for me I usually do my sports bets with crypto and also pay for some work at the internet with crypto. I'm almost sure regulation will come and it will be positive for us.

any "investor" who got involved any time including those dates you mentioned is not in a loss. they are in a big profit actually and they are not at all desperate. only newbies who thought they were "investors" are in a loss because only newbies buy and bag hold assets that are in a bubble. otherwise an experienced investor knows what a bubble is and knows how to make a profit from a market that is in a bubble.

very true but you are missing the first and most important step: cryptocurrencies need to be crypto currencies first before they can be adopted. when they are useless junk created for pump and dumps you can't expect anything other than speculation.

Patience is the key to success. The whole 2018 was very hard for the crypto currency investors, but it the red market cannot last forever. One day, the green market will come again and we will be rewarded for our patience and hodling coins.

The real investors won't stop once they got loss.
They analize the previous chart and predict the future chart based on the analysis and also manage their risk

we need a massive adoption over all if we want to see crypto on top, because with out more investors crypto will surly remain on what it is before and now, although we are patiently waiting/holding but without a good numbers of investors who support the coins, its useless and has a possibility of hard drop at the end.

What from source comes this information. Maybe investors only holding their cryptocurrencies and they stopped watching every day news and their portfolio.

With so many altcoins and tokens created everyday, mass adoption is really hard for most of them.
Still, bitcoin is the leading cryptocurrency in terms of adoption.
Most of the altcoins without substance in the beginning are just pump and dump ones, a get-rich-quick scheme.
You can compare it with masternode projects also. Almost all of them are just for quick cash, they have no reason to exist at all or sometimes they will create something as a front, like charity-related wannabe project. But it all boils down to be a crap one.
But for really legit ones, with innovative ideas backed by solid known companies, they are here to change how business is being handled by blockchain technology.
And adoption will come fast, if in case they can prove to the community the benefits that it can bring to the business world.

Yes, you are right. most people invest in crypto only to make profits quickly, without considering the current situation. Actually, crypto is not a suitable place for people who want to invest in the short term, but more suitable as a place to invest in the long term.
So when you are interested in a project and want to contribute to it, then do it without hesitation and don't think too much about profit, because profit will come with time in line with the progress of the project.

I am interested in the issue of investment, we should invest in an altcoin that has a program that is very clear waiters are also clear and of course many are interested in people or investors. But it must be smarter to choose the altcoin

I agree. The demand for crypto starts during the last quarter of the year. I am not sure why but what I can tell is that a lot of employees are getting bonuses at the end of the year and they were using it as a capital to start investing on crypto. This applies in our country as well, 13th month pay and Christmas Bonus is were I got my capital to start trading. 8)

I invest in projects that I know have a working product and a good marketing presence.

Reality is that you need to be trully dedicated to the project and think not only about making profit but how to make world better with crypto. And for  sure avoid shitcoins.

Many people left crypto, but there are also many people who are defending in this world. And yeah you are right, adoption comes from us. It's better for us to do that than just make any speculation about crypto. Hope crypto will grow and be better in the future.

It's natural for people to think negative or to lose hope about what's happening in the cryptoworld now. But I guess this is just part of the market. Sometimes it rises, sometimes it falls.

The reality is that if you are faced with the choice of investing in cryptocurrency you need to become experts in this matter, otherwise the risks with which investments are associated in this area will simply eat you and all your capital.

I'm just sharing thoughts on what I've seen on the past months and what I've been talking to different people with different backgrounds. I'm not here to determine how skilled anyone is. I'm the first one who is not very skilled on trading but I keep reading and informing on the tech. I believe the time of BTC 20K USD is over(and I really hope I'm mistaken on this and please quote me if the 20K USD comes again, and let me know I was wrong. I'll be happy on being wrong). But as of now from all the information I've collected I believe only Adoption will be the key on a long life of this market.  :)

Those who new that this market is risky from the start will invest again and not all people in depression about their loss, I know many riends who change their strategy and start earn money

yes agree with you. in order to keep crypto above and continue to grow, the first thing we have to do is use crypto according to its function. instead of just being a trading tool, if this continues to be done, I'm sure crypto will slowly be left behind.

Often, in places where you can pay for goods/services cryptocurrency uncompetitive prices, as for the same product can be paid in Fiat money but cheaper. In this regard, I'm PundiX. I'm waiting for their terminals in my country.

Not all the investors are successful,only the people who knows how to survive the hard days will be the successive one so if someone lose interest on investment when the prices are down then they are not much interested they will be looking for another form of investment but if someone really knows the capability of crypto then they should be long term holder.

crypto already used by many things in the world, not only for payment but also anothers things
such as helbiz makes vehicle and almost done. i think it is the good thing for future of cryptocurrency

If you see the last five years chart you will be shocked because every year pump and dump are comes in the same month so many investors and organisation are ready to invest in the platform. But this year totally change so banning issues and hacking issues are increase in the market it was directly affect the market. Now everyone expecting the legalisation and crypto adoption because we need big support in current scenario.

We should be patient as this will materialize in the future as being our future currency. This will just a matter of time as other countries had already started using this currency into their daily life.

I feel disagree with you, in terms of your posts about cryptocurrency. In terms of cryptocurrency, I am not a smart person, so far I have seen many people mistakenly think about ryptocurrency. Hopefully there will be the best against cryptocurrency in the future.

That is true of many people whom i think are not real investors but rather people who see cryptocurrency as gambling instead of really bosiness that reguires realy business approach. So,they jumb into the crypto market during the months September - December which is within the festive period.

Actually in reality not that many people got into crypto. Yes they heard about it and talked about it, but according to recent researches about like 9% of Europeans own cryptocurrency. I think it is like this worldwide, except for countries with a very weak and volatile fiat currency. So don't think we have seen major adoption, I think that is yet to come.

One of the truth we should know is that value is more important than talking about price. Which is why some projects, at the initial stage of their projects discourage talks on price, but focus more on the technology, because that is what will give value to the coin.

Of course, technologies are important, but if absolutely all holders sell the token, the community will consider the project dead. At the same time, the development of a project in such a situation becomes secondary. All the same, people are investing in a team, therefore they want to make money on it in the future.

I completely agree. Many hold a cryptocurrency, and do not use it. Just waiting for the growth of prices and transferred to Fiat. And you try to pay something, use the cryptocurrency. This is a very convenient payment method. If you search the Internet, already a lot of services accept cryptocurrency

You said it all crypto is not about investment only there are lot of things it can be use for... The more the use of coin the popular it become and also the higher it value. Adoption is the best option for now I know with time Cryptocurrency is going to grow high.

I agree with you. When there is more demand coming from people, the governments would have to listen. So by adopting and supporting crypto payments as much as possible the governments will start giving a damn.

Of course many wanted to get on the train and ended up run over, that's why the fomo and fud are so dangerous, many people lost millions just by going with the flow and not realizing that such a sudden rise was unsustainable in the long term and was going to explode like a bubble.

And this is exactly what the market needs, some solid adoption. In many TG channels i follow there were some scared people with the ETH getting to 200 USD in the last 24H and asking "when moon again" (never liked this expression) but without solid knowledge about what they are doing. One thing that left me speechless was this person spreading fud in one coin and the admin explained that was the ETH price down but the value of the token compared to eth even had earned 3% and this guy didn't even understood what the admin was saying but just kept talking bullshit until he was removed from the chat. It's sad but there are people involved with cryptocurrency that have no idea what they are doing!  ??? To bring the adoption people should be "educated" on the blockchain first and it's a long road to get there, but I'm optimistic we will get there

Agree with your point manor investors join the crypto in the peak time and lose faith. Now market not like last year and adoption of crypto will take more time maybe years and years. I mean fully adoption. Currently I am using crypto just for the service payment.

Mass adoption will give real value for the cryptocurrencies and it depends on us either (how we promote it and how frequently we use it). We need regulation of the market as well and the  institutional capital should  enter it as well and then the value will grow.

Investing in any field you have to accept reality is not always as you desire. Investing in electronic money helps you make money quickly, but there are many difficulties. The price of pennies rise and fall makes you depressed. Accept the reality and change.

Among all the variety of coins circulating in the market, only a small percentage of those that will survive in this tough fight with regulators. I realize that not all projects that are in my portfolio now and I think they are promising at the moment, will remain the same in a couple of years. Perhaps 5-10% will survive, but these 5-10 % can give a crazy profit of 1000%, which is also quite good.

often it has been seen that most persons actually come into crypto just for the price and profit. but then i highly agree with you, its not just about the prices but also the impact in which one can bring into the system.

Well most of the project are still not getting used in reality . We are still in the early stages of developments and I believe next year we will see big institutional money coming in crypto when the projects are ready for use

Getting full crypto adoption might reveal the most challenging task there is. It might fill impossible like it was on 2010 to think that BTC would go to $20K but it happened, so I feel like full adoption can happen as well. It's not this amazing think all talk but impossible to reach, we can get there and like you said it has to start with us even with the small things that you think are irrelevant

Yes, that it's true. Ready or not, the mass adoption will come. It can happen in the next month, in the next year, it can happen in anytime and if it happens, and in that time, many people will join the cryptocurrency. They will know the new investment is revealed but some of them doesn't know that the cryptocurrency was launch in a long time ago. So what we can do now is still survive in this year and still hold what we believe because soon, it will become reality.

It will not happen until there will be a lot of usefulness and product that can be used in our real life. But crypto is about to replace the old system with a new one. Just try to survive and try to take any wise decision to avoid the more loses on this bearish market. i could say that crypto is about the revolutionary thing in the economic system

Like fiat investment its all totally unpredictable and we don't have any control to make it surely profitable so as for me investment is something sort of gambling because we gamble the outcome and therefore if we invest then we should accept all possible effect at better and worst.

Yes I agree with your point. Before like an year ago there was a rapid change occured in the crypto industry. With that many people and everyone got rich at that time but after reaching the max the people who have invested could not even look at there saving due to huge loss.

Yes, we will see in the future in an increasingly modern era whether the existing projects will develop better or many projects get stuck and whether this crypto can develop better and increase the benefits provided

No one knows in crypto's prediction, many people speculate that crypto has an advantage, but many people are disappointed with the market value and consider that business failed. Now to be able to achieve satisfying results we should take certain moments that are able to get results.
It could be said that in real land investment, the land value would certainly increase yearly. So your investment would not disappoint.

Easy to say but would really be hard to spread such adoption. There are already merchants that do accept crypto and been add up as a payment system but adoption or recognition isnt really that fast as we see.Why?
due not all countries or places do have the same views when it talks to crypto.Most likely crypto is just good for investment and thats the reality way aspect on most people.

For me investing on a cryptocurrency can be really profitable when we could find a project that has a good concept and proven to be a good project that has the capability to thrive in the business world. when that happen, then the future of that project along with it's coin will be good.

In my opinion, the first thing to do is support from the government for the use of cryptocurrency as a legitimate means of payment because real adoption without government support will not succeed, the government must legalize crypto and make it a legitimate payment instrument so that many shops/shopping places accept crypto as payment instruments, with the increasing use of crypto, it will extend the life of crypto.

Adoption is something will happen in the world with or without us, we can just help it do it faster...

I agree to your points and yup, adoption starts with me, you, us and not big corporations. we must do our bit in scaling crypto adoption and others will follow.

Things that occur when investing is just as mentioned before, that is the possibilities of the coin that having it's price dropping, but after some times we could hope that the price will be rising if the project is good and has many support.

AfterEther is getting ready to release a new wallet for Ethereum.

Fluctuations are part of crypto investment that will never be lost, this is the risk and also the benefits of the crypto market, the price drops is normal because of fluctuations, so don't worry too much about it. prices can rise and fall due to fluctuations, but adoption will continue and it will raise prices in a long period, so don't worry about it..

Its hard to choose good coin in this market, but if you want to have sure profit with your investment, go for the top coins. Investment should be put in the right place so your money will be safe. Cryptocurrency gives us so much hope for a better future and let's do our job to support this market.

Perhaps you are right, I had to pay for the service several times with cryptocurrency and I was always asked to make a payment by Ethereum and not monero, litecoin or other coin which predict the future of the means of payment. But at the time of payment I really didn't want to part with my Ethereum because I consider it an investment asset and I have no desire to use it as instrument of payment. Cryptocurrency is not subject to inflation and is always growing in price so I want to keep it and not to spend and I think that this will cause some problems when using it as money.

Yes, many have lost a lot of money on investment in ico projects. But they still knew that this was a highly risky asset and invested there. And most likely, those who hold coins from the beginning of this year and who invested this year lost more. Since some of them who invested in the past year still managed to get out of this market, and with a good profit.

Investment realities is not what the shiller; pumpers and dumpers are painying rather, it is what you make out of your decision to invest  in a certain coin or the other and your ability to be patience vonsistent and persist with your position. This is the investment  reality!

It is why you always need to analyze so you can find out the coin for your investment. And I think you can choose to invest in bitcoin only because bitcoin will increase higher in the future. But if you want to diversify to many coins, then you can analyze first, and then you need to buy the coins in the market. After you get the coin, don't forget to send to your wallet for the safety investment because you don't know how long the exchange will still online.

I agree with you, it's a great idea, except ourselves nobody will give bitcoin life. I also want to add that we saw the beginning of growth, just don't sell your coins, demand begins to exceed supply and the course itself will start to grow, we can increase the rate if we do it together.

yes i agree with you. as a true trader we must be optimistic that we can develop this digital world better than before, of course by investing and supporting its development. with that crypto it has a long life.

I think Bitcoin will just stay as a speculative digital gold and those other altcoins will take the job for the mass adoption for normal people's daily transactions. That's the reality I am seeing in the future and whatever you guys do, bitcoin's fee and long transaction time will always exist that people won't like.

When we believe in the crypto market, investment will come in a positive and meaningful way and good campaigns and coins will exist. I always believe in Bitcoin and the market will have good results in the late this year.

I believe that once all the governments will undestand how wrong were they and how their descisions had slowed the development of human race. But it is not the nearest future.

Crypto currencies have huge perspective and a great future. Unfortunately, in 2018 it was almost impossible to gain great profits, because the market was red. If you want to take part in the crypto reality you need to be always patient.

This is a great vision but again I don't think governments will be interested with putting in some regulations. Do you think, even moderate regulations seeking privacy and security are wrong too?

Depend my experience investment is not easy and can our future in second. Many people already release their opinion about this but they don't realize about reality because reality is hope, that was wrong. For me, reality is market condition and how we can deal with it. So, let's keep going with our hope but also with wise calculation, change our future with crypto until limit we have, not fit just leave it.

Most of teams behind ICOs underlined that their projects is here to avoid regulations and current law, so it would be impossible for them to get support.

I fully agree with the author of this post. I also think that we should promote cryptocurrencies ourselves, do some insignificant things at first glance, but this will help cryptocurrencies become more significant. The community here is large and if everyone will use to pay for something or cryptocurrency, it will be good.

The hard truth is that you can't convince people to what to do with here in cryptocurrency. This field is decentralized. My point here, developers of cryptocurrency should do their best to improve the technology behind these cryptocurrency. Knowing that they are racing to improve the verification time. Knowing that they're doing their best to beat those hackers. This makes investments here in cryptocurrency so volatile because of these some issues.

As for me, it may take several ages to improve peoples opinion about BTC and other tokens and make them trust ICO once more, but it may be faster.

As long as you've been doing something good for cryptocurrencies then you are contributing it to the best that you can. Not only by buying, selling and using it for the crypto economy.

And to those that are very disappointed until now, there's no need to think of the negativities that we've been receiving everyday. Counter it by accumulating more coins on your bags, fill it with better and cheaper coins.

I think institutional investors will pay attention to cryptocurrencies  when they won't change so rigidly in price. And won't be an artificial pumps and dumps there. This will happen when a single large cryptocurrency holder or a group of such holders will no longer have a huge impact on the entire market. With such a small capitalization of $ 200 billion for them it is extremely easy.

Many people lost their interest because crypto does not show its development yet (in price). But many people also still stay here, it because many people still believe that crypto will show its development soon. In my opinion, it's not easy to use crypto or the coin we have in our daily life because it still being a strange thing for the society.

You are right, most people in this industry are here for profit through speculation, but it is difficult to use crypto-currencies as a means of payment, because not many countries have legalized crypto-currencies. But in the future the situation may change.

yes, crypto investment and trading have a season, so the volatility cycle is difficult to predict. but investment and trade are the first steps to creating crypto transactions.

and, today I started using crypto for each transaction, even though the transaction value is small.

Hello! well said! I totally agree with you! We ourselves must begin to develop this sphere. We must act in such a way that all this becomes our future.

The period from September to December is the time when the market for Crypto has grown the most since the time of the golden eggs for the Christmas holidays. The hens will appear at this time as the big guys start pushing the market up, a big trap celebrating the new year.

We did not live to see the situation when the majority of the population of large countries will actively use cryptocurrency and cryptography in general. Then governments will have to make the appropriate decisions. This will necessarily shift to greater interest in investing in crypto.

You are right, crypto space is not about speculations. It is about making world decentralised and when the mass adoption will take place everybody will get what he deserves. If you hodl you are going to be rewarded for your patience and if you sell, you will regret.

Over the past year, we have seen that many ICO present to the public promising new technologies. However, many of these companies lack consistent communication with their potential customers. This is due to the ubiquitous mood in the blockchain community, which was mainly focused on the technological side of development - "build a project, and people will come themselves." Despite the fact that these ICOS are constantly ahead of each other in technology, they do not spend enough time assessing the needs and desires of the community. It is necessary to come prepared to the ICO market, to unite for market analysis, to communicate. It's easier not to get into the pit.

I agree with you that we need to look not only at the prices of coins and the market situation as a whole, at the moment, but also at how this industry develops, new technologies appear, projects that can change and improve our lives and many areas of activity.

You know price speculation is one of the main reasons(for a lot of people it is the only one) why people are involved in crypto, all these rallies attracted so many people, some of them understood the true potential of crypto, some - not. But volatility is also an advertising instrument

If all these politicians were on our side, wide adoption will be much easies to perform. During the endless debate, cryptocommunity had lost a lot of support.

I don't have the technical ability to pay with a cryptocurrency, but in reality, when bitcoin or another cryptocurrency becomes a full-fledged means of payment, then there will be a massive acceptance of it. Eventually, growth will begin and investors will return to this market.

A lot of people that i know expected to become rich overnight, but when they saw that this was no longer possible, they decided to leave the ship, fortunately, bitcoin has never been about money, the only thing that drives btc is the financial freedom, which can be achieved regardless of the price it has.

This is a great idea, unfortunately only not many companies accept cryptocurrency. Nevertheless, it is necessary to recognize that the market is still not regulated and no one wants to take responsibility and use cryptocurrency.

I agree. 2017 was the year that almost majority of the people really earn a lot specially in the last few months leading to the end of the year. That's why a lot FOMO, however, the bearish sentiments started and those who FOMO got burned easily. Regarding btc as financial freedom, its now up to debate as btc is now becoming as store of value rather than currency, its more of a investment platform.

I've been in this field a long time. I know that before any purchase is always necessary to study the coin. it should be working by now. and to sell, you need to wait for a better market position. and it will come soon, because the market is always repeated.

this is normal when some join an activity just because it is discusse dhere and there; at least they can pass the knowlegde further now. meanwhile we have to support crypto in every possible way and i agree about your offer

Yes i am really excited about that. I think we will start to use our cryptocurrencies in real world. Some companies already started that like reddit or some hub websites. I think you already know about that hub :D . Lastly i bought a vpn program with my ethereums that was really nice to see that kind of adoptions.

I think the price will rise with time, when the cryptocurrency will become commonplace of our life

it is really sad that people just witness bad times, it creates a negative image of crypto, as if it some kind of a fraud thing. i do like your suggestion about paying with crypto, it's really a sensible action

Well I hope this in the future crypto will be widely used to not know at what price the crypto will look like but look at the crypto price react to the information about the future contract of Bitcoin will see its huge potential.

It's a double edged sword. If crypto becomes stable enough to use as daily currency then the giant swings and fortunes are finished and the bankers will be fully in control. If no one ever uses it as daily currency it just becomes another penny stock kind of investment vehicle subject to the whims and manipulation of big pockets, and then the bankers are in control again. Must be nice to be a top banker.

I agree with your statement, it is true that 80% of people are involved in crypto from September-December because last year the price of bitcoin was quite high and allowed other crypto prices to rise significantly. but I still hope this crypto will last a long time, because crypto enthusiasts are increasing.

Nothing bad is going on now. But I see that people are afraid to make nvestments and started bringing less money to this market in 2018 year(

Investing in real estate has always been profitable, it is passive income, which today works without cryptocurrency. The most important thing you can really do now is to collect a company of people who will work directly on the purchase of real estate.

   It`s a thing with most of the people, with me too. I bought some coins last year on their top prices, what me to do, I
had big wishes but market started to decline. I`m not desperate cause of that, I just wait situation to change.
   I agree with statement that number of crypto-enthusiasts is going up. One day there will be more of us than more of the
people who support fiat and banks. When that happen all of us who have crypto-currencies will be on top.

I completely agree with you, I think many people think the same way as you, I am convinced that your thoughts are in the right direction and we will all get a reward. No need to doubt, we must do what we can, it is in our power

The late last year bull run really attracted a lot of persons. Studying various btc cycles one will notice such happening in the past and after each bull cycle forms a particular strong support and will start the lowest level for another bull period which will in turn attract another set of people. It is an interesting experience and we expect such to happen within the next three years. But with a lot of persons that have just been aware of how crypto market works will then be wary and be cautious about investing

Undoubtedly, people's acceptance of btc will put pressure on governments to recognize the BTC. Because the biggest barrier comes from governments, they do not want electronic money to emerge that competes with traditional currencies

It is a life. For someone to earn, someone must lose. Those who discover the crypto at the beginning are probably happy even with the current price.

As for me, I'm in crypto since 2016. I think that all professional investors don't panic now. It's easy to understand that now is a real fud. I have a big profit from the time I've first time bought bitcoin.

Projects coming up with new developments to support their coins, will continue to remain relevant. When it comes to the adoption of a coin, it is mainly concerned with the product. When a coin has a good product and sometimes, not just one product,but series of products. Which is one of the reasons why we see some coins grow, despite the situation of the market.

Unfortunately, the possibilities of most people are limited only to investing money. They could not think that the growth of cryptocurrency is due to massive demand. After that, the hamsters hairstyle stage will start, which is happening now.

Very nicely said about investing, because I hope that you spoke directly about this, I believe that in general it can be called the right thing lately. Because now we can not miss this opportunity.

Now it is difficult to accurately predict how the market situation will develop in the future. I believe that earlier he had shown too rapid growth, the society was not ready for this. But over time, different governments and society will recognize robust cryptocurrencies.

Accepting cryptocurrency as a means of payment will really increase its value and make payments more secure. But today it is difficult for the average user. When the cryptocurrency can be paid as simply as a plastic card or smartphone, it will be able to displace the usual payment methods.

I am one of those people who stopped investing in cryptocurrencies with the onset of the bear market. Instead, I decided to earn coins through bounty campaigns. But to date, the use of cryptocurrencies is limited only to support the project network and reward miners. It is not easy to find a website and a platform where I can buy the necessary goods for cryptocurrency and this is the biggest problem for me.

When the time comes for any payment to be made using cryptocurreny, then the growth of cryptocurrency will be inevitably.
It will grow in a faster pace than what happen today.

Only investors who happened to be on the market accidentally lost their interest in cryptocurrency. They heard about bitcoin, when its market capitalization grew every day, and beating records. But none of them thought to study the market, they wanted to earn. For others, the situation just looks like one of the stages of market development and there is no panic, there is only a strategy. But in order for the cryptocurrency to enter every home, it is necessary to do a lot more. I want to pay for goods on the Internet, I could pay any of the popular cryptocurrency, it will be a real breakthrough.

A huge number of new startups showed negative dynamics in the price of the token after entering the market. Therefore, people do not want to buy them during the initial sale. Cheaper to buy on the exchange

Rapid growth alone will not convince any government to recognize crypto currencies. Because, they will simply term a raid-growth as "bubble". We must need solid growth over the time so that it will make more heads turn. I mean to say crypto currencies will take more time to get recognized by governments. As of now investments are not growing as expected still it's not a criteria for governments to consider its recognition.

I must agree with you because I am also believing in to the fact of only the adoption level will be leading into stable crypto environment rather than measuring this space by terms of price levels. It is really unfortunate situation for the people who have joined here by the month of September to till now. But, I'm sure they could get chances to recover their losses in coming months if they prefer to continue holding their coins.

It is always recommended to invest with cryptos only with what you are able to afford on losing that investment. So, periodically investing into cryptos by something very little will lead to big differences in our life. Yes, with those cryptocoins, we will be able to pay anything for our life's need in very near future itself.

Accepting crypto currencies will help for value increase but only when more people are accepting and then holding. Right now,  it's prices are not increasing even some new business are accepting crypto currency payments but more people are not ready to hold it as its value is sliding down every day. Only after more people will be accepting crypto currencies as a payment, it will get the chance to replace the usual payment methods.

No price growth is happening right now today but I can understand what you are referring. We need every business and everyone will be having the options of paying their payments in crypto currencies then it will grow faster than anything else. But, what you are denoting is not an easier one. To make more people aware of the importance of adopting crypto currencies will be the key for the entire scenario you have mentioned.

Not all the coins are cheaper on the exchange because I have seen many coins/tokens got pumped once it hit exchanges. This may be the reason why people are preferring to contribute into ICOs. There are many exceptions and sometimes you also must be true. It means we cannot have one general rule to invest and when to wait. We need to diversify that is the only solution, it seems.

Yeah that is a good way of investment. No one is disappointed with this investment yet and all of them are happy with the profit they gain from it but there is something special in the investment of cryptocurrencies. In crypto an investor can get a huge profit in one year which a real estate investor get in dozens of years.

The key to higher priced crypto is definitely wide spread adoption, I have seen one or two projects release this year which will bring crypto to the wider masses and they will use it without realising it is blokchain based. Speculation can only take a currency so far, it needs to make the jump into the mainstream conciousness for it to really progress.

This is the reality. Whenever we lost big amount of money, we also lose our confidence and lessen the trust about bitcoin and other crypto coins. Not all will still benefit from this kind of investment.

I really hope so, that the crypto market will met it's most stable condition. When it is met then the crypto market should be controllable and it would be a lot safer than the current condition.

Yes, this is the reality of all investments, of course there is a risk and we must be prepared for all the risks, as well as if we are going to invest in crypto, we have to be prepared for the risks, especially with crypto conditions like today.

Sure this situation is the nightmare for every crypto holders, especially he buy they investment in january 2018 and still holding untill now. I think it will be a long time to wait if they want to get back their investment.

Crypto is full of unexpected surprises and crypto if we predict it is not in line with expectations. But if crypto is adopted massively, real changes will be seen and can be felt by all parties related to crypto.

a key question often avoided by most crypto enthusiasts is whether or not decentralization and mass adoption are compatible?

Indeed, I am one of those guys who came in sept 2017. Was astonishing to see whatever coin you invest in, is going up, I didn't sold. But, later as they went downhill, I realized the importance of fundamentals.

I think that in the last year many less users joined the crypto community. But, I agree completely that we can not look only at the price of Bitcoin. First of all, it is a payment instrument and not a speculative tool. When people understand this, then the adoption will begin and we will start to approach the mainstream much faster.

This can be a good time to make an investment, cause the price is still low for everyone to make a purchase, so in the next few months it could be better condition in the market and the profit will be generated from the investment.

I really agree with your friends' thoughts! of course price speculation is not a determinant in the crypto world, but we ourselves determine that price with work, development, so that one day people can come back to believe and not turn away from crypto.

After pass one year at 2018 we faced bad moment with bitcoin and altcoin price, many investor make fault with trusted bitcoin and altcoin will growing up at the end of year, but look your self how much money have lost because lower price of crypto.

Right now, time forprofits is inconvinient for any investitor. Graphics charts show for first time in last 4 years different situtation per months. I advice nowninvestment and profit will become reality there in Q1 of 2019 and so on.

I agree with the author, we should do the best we can help to implement projects, at least we should believe and not panic sell to the institutional and whales

maybe you can invest in addition to cryptocurrency as an example maybe you can invest in the property maybe in your country like that, with property investment safer than cryptocurrency investment, but all investments have their own risks.

Investing in cryptocurrencies is still very difficult because of the high volatility of assets on cryptomarket. Most users use well-known cryptocurrencies like assets they believe. And that is the true path to steady income.

I myself have been using cryptocurrency since 2016, and then I did not think once about speculation in the market, of course 2017 brought a lot of people speculators , but I think the cryptocurrency in the future will be well developed as it is now

I think that investing in cryptocurrency is needed very carefully at the moment. After all, the situation on the cryptocurrency market is quite complicated today. Many players expect cryptocurrency growth in order to profitably sell existing coins. Those who were able to guess and buy promising coins for a pittance are at a height. In reality, everything must be weighed very carefully so as not to lose to the market.

The current market dip is really disturbing and has halted so many transaction since everyone is o the watch to see how things go before risking his monies. Bit i know for sure things will not remain like this throughout, with patience things will get better.

For mass adoption of crypto it is a long way to go and for it we need projects that represents value, and a use case and there is a demand for using that product. There are hundreds of useless projects out there and they will not move us towards mass adoption at all.

we are obliged to cut off unnecessary people in the cryptocurrency market in order for growth to begin again

in the market always earn those who can tolerate, of course those who bought at high levels, not much versed in trading , and I think it will be a lesson , and in the future they will not make mistakes

Of course, you need to be patient and wait. The whole society cannot immediately be convinced of the advantages and potential of the crypto market. Therefore, we need to wait. It will probably take a few more years for the new governments and people who will start investing again in good cryptocurrencies to see the benefits of cryptography.

I am also just waiting for the mass adoption and for the moment, when big players are going to enter this industry. Microsoft, IBM, Starbucks, Amazon are already investing millions in blockchain and I hope the trend will continue.

These won't have immediate effect though and thesr big companies aren't very vocal about their involvement in blockchain as much as we'd like. Though things look really promising if you're seeing a positive market movement lol.

OP have a point here, adoption is what going to drive crypto usage and of course the prices. With big corporation starting to use crypto, I believe it is going to bring crypto to a higher level.

Investment in reality is a process of creating a step towards to our reflection of our lives in future. 
Investment makes our dreams come true in certain period of time.

Recently, there have been truly colossal changes in the crypto market. Many people were able to make impressive profits when they sold their coins at maximum prices. The rest are now forced to bear huge losses. But I really hope that from next year we will again see a gradual increase in prices.

I agree, because crypto is not a short term potential, so it takes a long time for beginners to begin to believe in this. and during the waiting process we can slowly add to our assets

We do really need adoption and not pump hypes.

It will kill the industry a little by little if people are just going here for the hype. At least 2018 has kicked out majority of the hype folks and the remaining ones are the real adopters and investors. This is the reality in cryptocurrencies, it's here to stay and people should learn to adopt and use it. Establishments should start adopt it to make their business quicker and more convenient to shop for their customers.

And if cryptocurrencies are prohibited in the country where the person lives? It turns out he deliberately will have to break the law?

Yes.  You're right.  To expand the possibilities of cryptocurrency, you need to expand the audience and not only at the expense of strong hands!

India is already really considering the situation with the adoption of cryptocurrency. Yes, and we must understand that the maximum will be distributed to bitcoin and ether, all other coins will not be used and somehow replaced from the market.

Indeed this is the required crypto. a real thing as adoption will provide a more direct feel impact of many issued only on speculation alone. with the adoption on crypto could certainly make it functional and in price more. It's just naturally distrusted still remains quite serious constraints on this.

This depends on everyone's decision. They may have been too greedy when they wanted their investment to increase many times and keep it for too long without selling them to make a profit. Actively control greed and you will feel safe with what you invest.

The price of the coin is dictated by the market. As we see, coin prices are constantly falling. Accordingly, the value of such coins is minimal.

I always wanted crypto to be used for payments in my life, and I can't encrypt crypto anymore, but I think it can take a long time to fulfill these wishes.

Yes, the adoption will take the important point because after the adoption is success reaching all people, we can use crypto widely without any border. We can manage our funds without having a third party like today, we don't have to pay a higher fee, and we can send the fund to other people in the other country in any minutes. I am sure it will happen in the future because the crypto journey still on the way and it's starting to have a good track.

they just thinking about profit , and forget about risk and loss.the reallity in market totally different with our imagination.so have to ready to face it when happen to us.

Unfortunately, we ourselves are not able to evaluate the coins that we hold, even though they have a promising future, the price is created by supply and demand!

Recently there are many stores worldwide that are applying payment by cryptocurrency. Those were the first and sure stores in 2019, there will be many other stores that apply it. At the current pace of development I am confident that in the next 10 years cryptocurrency will be popular worldwide

I agree with you and I also believe that in this regard, cryptocurrencies are developing rapidly, but still I still do not see a future for them under this condition, when the price is very volatile.

It seems to me it'll take too much time or will happen very quickly. Everything will depend on a concrete country and the adoption of laws on the legalization of cryptocurrencies and implementation of a blockchain in payment systems of some banks

Perhaps I still can not fully understand this situation, but some banking structures are already testing the block chain on their systems, but at the same time, the state is very negative about cryptocurrency. I do not know how things will continue.

i'm too poor to spend my very few crypto right now.
I agree with you, but i have to be honest. I'm not goint to use my crypto yet :(

It was hard times if you had invested during September of 2017, but believe me things are going to change, because 2019 has prepared so much exciting updates for all of us and if the Bakkt exchange and ETFs are going to be launched, we would get huge rewards for out patience.

Good point adoption should comes first in cryptocurrency for successful results ,as someone like me who is just starting to gather few coins in a portfolio I still make sure I leave part of my coins for little trading on exchanges to earn more ,sending in and out of my wallet almost everyday ,I'm a holder and a trader at same time ,I hope 2019 will be a game changer

It's fact lot of people have uninterested in crypto, caused by low market price. but l think crypto give a platform give you chance for good  earnings for long time investment. It's depend on us when we sell for earnings.

patience will get amazing results compared to people who are impatient and always make decisions without thinking about it again. 2019 there will be a light for all of us because the market will return to skyrocket and the coins you hold will be profitable. last year there may have been a lot of losses for them whether it was investment, trade or various other things, but this year I hope you will be replaced by your lost money, by earning big income, patience will  a good time is coming.

We hope so, being enthusiast in crypto is can be help to motivate us after all bearsih market. Instead of losing hope, we should keep strong and hold our remaining bitcoin with patient because i believed soon bitcoin will recover.

In the near future bitcoin will go further by gradually adopting some countries by using it in a transaction such a paying bill or in a merchant or even in a restaurant

Investments have always been a risky business, and investments in cryptocurrency were generally the most risky because the cryptocurrency market and any cryptocurrency is manipulated very easily and at any time any investor can simply lose all of his money.

Most people left cryptocurrency because of negative information and strong bear speculation. The only way we can influence cryptocurrencies is to give an objective assessment to the beginning projects as well as investments in the already existing projects.

I agree, because recently we only heard only price speculation on the coins and not understanding its real concept value. People seems only they want is profit. But if they really understand what the purpose of the coin or token, they would surely love it more.

with its adoption would make this look is becoming increasingly real. and indeed it is much needed for the crypto as support for better results. investment in the real of course proves that Crypto can actually deliver results and this will create more confidence appears to also join the signing in investing in crypto.

I'm among those you joined at that time ,which is a bad time for investors ,I lack understanding thats why I fall victim ,its always better to buy when market is down not when market price is surging

sometimes someone is not careful in doing things so they fall, and that can be a lesson for you to be more careful in doing things. choose the right time for investors to be able to produce, if the wrong investor cannot succeed and the market is an influence for us if we want to buy or sell because if we do not see our market movements also wrong actions.

Besides that, people left cryptocurrency because they get a big loss in 2018, and they cannot recover in the last year. They are very sad about that and they considering to leave the market until the situation can come back as before. At least, they need to take a rest for a while from the crypto, and if the market recovers, they will come back to make another profit. But still, they can wait for a long time since we don't know when the market will fully recover.

I also lost 90% of my assets in the cryptocurrency market. But I do not plan to give up in 2019. I will still invest my earned money in cryptocurrency.

That is right. Because almost all of them are starting their investment at a wrong time. And they lost faith on it. But it seems a good news. Because whats left was the pro holder investors of cryptocurrency only.

cryptocurrency is the best investment,
even a good payment tool,
we can see, the number of coins that nobody can manipulate,
and with these coins we can make transactions.
so there are two advantages in cryptocurrenci, can be used as an investment, can also be used as a means of payment.

Maybe for investor have make investment at bitcoin last years will faced bad reality where all their asset drop, you have keep hold and save your asset waiting when bitcoin will growing up, many time bitcoin could be stronger and have higher price again.

As a part of investment, i think it's OK if sometimes it going down. Cause the next time it should be able to rise again with the help of the community.
In cryptocurrency, everything is similar as when we trade goods in the traditional market, sometimes the goods price rise and sometimes fall. That is just natural.

Crypto is still very much in the price speculation phase. There are use cases, such as being able to transfer it immediately together with the value that we attach to it.

I think some of those projects that launched ICO last 2017-2018 will be big in the next 5 years!

To buy something from the token you have is the need of hour. Every govt. ,every regulation form have to make some changes in economy to encourage people to buy through token. For this the secuity of coin ,the legality of exchange system, are the main area where we have to work

Projects with real use cases have bigger chances for success and progress. Mass adoption of cryptocurrencies
would  lead to higher market value  as it would attract many new investors.

Yes you are right. The market is speculative. And all coins are speculated to some degree. The market going down and up to an undetected degree is really a surprising to all. I think speculation makes up almost 80 percent of the market meltdown or going up. So it is high time all should adopt cryptocurrency and do their efforts to make it stable and a real one.

People who received results from their activities in the cryptocurrency area are now less involved in it, since there is no return profit, so interest has disappeared and many cryptocurrency participants are now watching from the outside without getting involved.

I am sure some of still doing that job because they are sure that there are good projects which can give them some profit in the future. I see they still promote the project in the social media, but I don't know about the result, and I hope that they can get something from the project. Besides that, I am sure that many investors can accept the risk to invest in the project because they believe that the project can become larger and reach the goals in the future.

There are still many people involved in crypto projects, and this will certainly live, indeed this situation makes many people lose their digital assets but by playing and continuing to study the market the crypto atmosphere will continue to run.

From the fact that one of us wants to pay for his coffee using Bitcoin - nothing will change. If, at the legislative level, politicians do not legitimize bitcoin as the second officially existing currency in each country, then the remaining efforts can do little to help the cryptocurrency survive.

people who feel confident investing their money in crypto will certainly not go away from cryptocurrency, even though the market has continued to decline in recent months, if we understand the analysis of market price movements, of course they will think that this type of investment is very promising among other types of investment even though there are big risks that must be faced, even they believe Cryptocurrency will be increasingly developed and increasingly recognized by the public if indeed many people realize that this investment is very profitable for a long time

Adoption of the cryptocurrency into our daily life is not a bad idea actually. People these days use cryptocurrency as their payment method, though not all of them accept it. In order for the world to fully accept cryptocurrencies we have to adopt. The more we use the cryptocurrency will increase it's values.

Most of the investment in the new projects it's massive risky but on the other hand i'm successful in some new projects which are legit and real product company. Real investment not make frustrated you i think.

learning from the current situation is very important for people who still trusting the system, many people are still inside they are willing to take the risk and most of them are willing to wait, risking both time and money in order to gain after.

Well Investment mainly depends on your luck. At Least to me, I think that most of the investment mainly depends on your luck. If your luck is well enough then you will gain profit and if not then it will turn to a loss project.

that's why we have to be patient because the price does not automatically go straight up when we invest. the reason they lost interest in investment might be because they were impatient. and yeah adoption is a great way

Investing in cryptocurrency now is very profitable and would be the right decision if you take into account the situation on the cryptocurrency market.
I see that those players who see market prospects are boldly investing money in good coins for the long term.

Before investing in any business I think you should know 80% if not all about the business, cryptocurrency business a business that you have to exercise patient don't let us be in haste in order to support the growth of the business

Unfortunately that it investors faith. Much risk is involved together with big profits.
I suggest every investor realize, or should realise possible risks, especially ic crypto industry.
You might make x10 and 0 in few days here.

The majority of crypto community still does not get that this market is not a fast way of how to become a millionaire. You need to work really hard and always to stay calm to make great investment decisions and to gain profits.

The fact is that today it has become even more difficult to work in the cryptocurrency market. any analysis of the project; the study of all available information; external time does not provide an absolute guarantee of success in your activity.

It is difficult to say when there will be positive news on the crypto currency , I think it is worth waiting for more good moments in the crypto currency, especially when we can break through the resistance line and go to grow again and while the market is in calm

Not every coin can be used to make purchases. You can only use a coin whose use case is found applicable in what you are interested in. For instance, we all sometimes change our wardrobes and some of those who cannot afford to change the whole of their wardrobes still manage to buy one or two things. There are some outlines at my place, where shoes, clothes and the likes are sold and they accept bitcoin as a medium of payment. To me, i feel that is a good development.

I see that there is a determination of mentality to you, the best coin holder, and this is a valuable lesson, whose name is desire, there must be ups and downs, sometimes there are those who value a coin with less convincing value, whereas other people continue to buy and save it, then get more value, and pride in this sector, rather less applied by a crypto, all people want a coin to be of good age, not only momentary, and then experience development, and we also get good benefits from a coin, this is a moment which must be noticed, the end of which we get success from a coin.

Yes, cryptocurrency will have to be adopted by peoples to become a well known currency, the price speculation only done by some peoples only.
If we using crypto to investing on some companies / projects, then we must wait for long time because crypto i think is a long term investment.

I see the possibility of cryptocurrency to grow at this time is very large, apart from the problem many investors are disappointed with price declines in certain periods, cryptocurrency will be an important part in the next few years, but the condition is that Cryptocurrency must really move on the real market and used on a large scale in the community.

This cryptocurrency started with a very low movement and now has very large growth. But for the journey to reach like now it is certainly not easy. But I see that Crypto can still develop and become the future of payments. Very many investors enter but there are also many investors who come out.

Adoption is the key for the crypto market to stand on its own.
Many believe today that it's all hype.
But I don't think that it's all hype, adoption is near and it will happen.

In order for cryptocurrencies to be accepted everywhere, we need a convenient infrastructure. People refuse to work with cryptocurrency, because they need to do a lot of additional actions. We may still have to wait for the launch of some projects that will provide a convenient crypto user interface.

These are difficult times. We are in a new investment market. It hasn't worked out yet. Technologies for practical use are not yet convenient enough. But these technologies are the future, and we can be congratulated for our participation.

But you need to understand that acceptance implies leaving a maximum of ten cryptocurrencies and the introduction of income tax. Will investors agree with this for the sake of technology development or it is better for them how to get easy money now.

Investment is different to speculation. Everyone is being mistaken when suppose they are investing but almost just being speculative

adoption is very important, if cryptocurrency is accepted by the government or supported by the community, its value will  increase a lot, adoption is like demand in trading.

We are still learning to invest and crypto provides many opportunities for this so there is a lot of diversity that can occur to develop.
Crypto is good enough to be used as a future investment and a big potential that is worth maintaining, this is a fertile land that must be excavated to obtain a high value for use, not just speculation.

This happens with every new thing ,it happened with the internet, online payments and etc. people don't like new and afraid from it so we need time people start understand how BTC works and it's not dangerous like some stupid journalists write and politicians say , blockchain and decentralisation is the future.

Good Morning,

Could you please review my post here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5112130.0

I have been working on this project design for almost 4 months now. It's based on how to increase adoption of the digital currency among the mass.

Let's have a discussion and share views please.

Thanks

Still sticking to the idea that everything was done for a reason. People were involved in this industry, then abused by every desire, and many more went into negative. Further, the industry develops, in those people gradually there is an interest and they have nowhere to go but just as a user, not an investor.

More knowledge that we can share more adoptions that we can bring from this industry, that's the point since bad publicity is encircling around people who have little knowledge about cryptocurrency are worrying, there's fears inside them that needs a proper guide in order to achieve learning the system, support community needs to outreach those people who showed interest but still doubting the potentials of this market.

I'm not trying to spam this thread or anything  ;D

But you guys are almost the only thread in this section that talks about something I have been working on for a while.

Please take a look and tell me what you think, it's a 5 minutes read. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5112130.0

I appreciate it.

don't think too much of the time when you want an investment you have to be brave enough to take the risks that exist, and you have to be able to control the patience you have because if you just wait for the right time to enter and the investment will only waste your time.

invest always have risk we must know every risk, when the market like before my strategy is do daily traders i just buy when the prices will increase so i will get instant profit, but that is now always, we must flexible in every condition

You are right adoption did matters the most ,this is one reason why I believe that any coins that must survive in the future either big or small project must have better adoption rate

You can do that but if you are a little late you will lose that opportunity.
strategies can be implemented if you understand them well.
of course there are people who want to get profits quickly but not so quickly to get it, we have to wait for the process and not as fast as lightning, sometimes the market movement is not in accordance with what we expect so opportunities are not easy.

We can't force someone just to invest quickly now while the market is in a bad condition. We will have a hard time teaching them because they think they will lose again their money just like what happen in the past. Where there are many people that rush in and putting money without knowing the risk and why would they invest here. In the near future, we will see them comeback again because i think they learn a lot before investing now. I think real usage of the coin is important if we want them to come back again. Risk is always a factor that affects investment newbie.

it is difficult to be able to determine the right time to find out the chance of a good coin price to be bought or sold, the opportunity to read charts and determine price movements is very difficult, you have to be patient because the benefits you get will not be instant.

I agree that we should support cryptocurrencies on our own example and demonstrate that it is also convenient and simple how to pay in cash or by credit card. Only the real value of cryptocurrencies will allow them to gain more popularity and convince investors that it is safe and promising. After all, cryptocurrencies are our future.

Thats why you should always be patient as investor. Unfortunately nobody is protected from bad investment decisions, but if you are patient enough, you still get get rewards after several years. The only question is, how long can you wait?

In the real world, there are now very few cryptocurrencies that are supported in reality, this will not always be, interest is lost among people who are tired of waiting, I think it’s a big mistake.

but instead of all these things a lots of people will make money from cryptocurrency field so we don't say this is only the reason for losing our money in cryptocurrency investment there are some of the inexperienced things will also been the important reasons for not getting the money back.

True, if we are not believing cryptocurrency then there is no use to enter in half heartedly. We have to give all our effort, faith and trust to crypto if we want success in return from crypto.

The investment reality of the cryptocurrency market is currently quite complicated.
The cryptocurrency market is in a stage of decline, it is in a stage of growth, and it is very volatile, which prevents many players from predicting the risks and associated risks of losing investments.
I think that the market will soon recover and lead all participants to a bright future.

The reality is bright for me. Firstly you have to collect crypto and then let your profit grow.
Just patiently wait in order to receive money and catch trend. It is a secret of sucess

I think that our desire to pay for daily purchases using cryptocurrency does not depend on anything, most of the supermarkets and shops do not accept Bitcoin for payment, we can’t do anything even if we wanted to help them. The only thing we can do is just wait until the government passes the relevant legislation.

Mass adoption can bring to crypto-currency but then can there be mass without government giving its nod of approval to crypto-currencies. Mass adoption is important but more important is regulatory approval which state the moment is slow in coming

I totally agree with your point that before the cryptocurrency market can stable is when the adoption of cryptocurrencies increases. When enterprises and ventures start to use crypto and when it is applied to different real life stuff is the only way to reduce the market volatility, because the market would have grown to a stage that it cannot be easily influenced by whales or market manipulators. And before adoption can really increase, there have to be some regulations in place to protect investors from scam and fraudulent activities.

Those people bought at the top and expect gains, his is not how it works. You need to buy now when the market is low, then wait for it to rise. Simple economics, but no-one bothers to listen - they will wait again when it reaches 20k

The reality is that wrong money invested can be lost or frozen for a very long time, so investing in a crypto currency is now more and more like an adventure.

I cannot pay with btc in my supermarket in which I buy my products, and i think that my efforts about btc promotion do not give any result.  I still cannot sell or buy cryptocurrency anywhere in my city, therefore I think that this is not a completely appropriate idea.

About cryptocurrencies say a lot of good. Many people plan that cripto will replace money in the future, will be anonymous and will be actively used by people for payments.
However, at the moment this is not the case. Cryptocurrency now is primarily a tool for speculation. Yes, and many cryptocurrencies are very easy to track where the coins came from, so there is no anonymity.

The crypto market is a big speculative market, it is surviving somehow which a lot of big people talks about speculations on it. We can't ignore that fact that crypto survived that way from the beginning. And we are going to that state now where adoption is coming, it's use is being done purposely and people are looking into it.

Investing in cryptocurrencies must pay attention to the development of the project in real time. It is not a good thing to hold the altcoin for a long time. It must be traded to reflect its value.

Cryptocurrency is still a young product, so it is very convenient for speculators, but the time will come and the market will become more confident on its feet!

That's right, pay with crypto, accept it if you have some real business, tell your friends and people you meet about the crypto and ask shops and restaurants if they are accepting crypto. All means are good here :)

Many units and organizations have accepted Bitcoin and some altcoin as payment methods. But storage applications and payments are far too complicated to make many people use crypto to pay. What sets out is that crypto's infrastructure is still underdeveloped to meet this

Many are beginning to adopt cryptocurrency,even institutions, organization and so on,I feel we will have more adoption and that will surely help crypto.

More than 90% of crypto enthusiasts are in for the money, hence since the market has been dwindling over time, some of  them lost interest and sold off their portfolio. I don't think that's the best idea because I think it's still early to get into crypto if only you are thinking long term investment.

Some of the payments I make using cryptocurrency. There are not as many as we would like, but positive changes in this direction are noticeable .

I support your point of view, I agree that for the development of crypto currency, it is necessary to use them for their potential purpose.
But I personally am not yet ready to spend my coins at a loss, I will do it later at a favorable rate.

The reality of investing right now is that you only need to invest in promising coins that will rise in price during a market upturn.
Basically, you need to plan long-term investments and wait patiently for the rise.

Investing in cryptocurrency most cryptoinvestors prefer in well-known proven coins, so it will be safer and more profitable if the investment is long-term.

If cryptocurrencies would have the same price all the time and were not of interest for price manipulations, then there would be much less people in the crypto market now. The opportunity to earn attracts primarily people.

i totally agree with you! choosing a good project will ensure you a good profit in the long run, just be vigilant on scam project to avoid losing your investment. best choice is to pick the top 10 coins in the market and hold them until the new bull run comes which might happen anytime.

Adapting is very necessary for investment. Supposedly, everyone in Crypto doesn't just leave the investment. They must always see the development of the coins they buy. Either news, issues, or progress can affect the price of a coin.

in the current era and technology, the adoption of economic systems and investments is needed by using crypto currencies as the currency to be used in investment.

in fact they did not lose interest, they just waited until the market conditions began to show an increase as it is now, the market has begun to stabilize and tends to turn into bullrun and at times like this investors start investing again

Even at that time, there will still be a lot of challenges, most especially to those who are yet to get themselves acquainted with how the crypto market works.
We should not expect a perfect market too. The reality is that, there will be gainers and losers, but how much you know now, will be of huge help, when the market improves.

you're right, investors don't run away, but they just wait for the situation to improve. with conditions not so much developing, investing now only prolongs the waiting process. when the market improves, I'm sure investors will definitely return and enliven the market again.

I don't think they completely abandoned investing in crypto, they are just waiting for a moment like lately with the improvement in market conditions and they also not just wait for it but also by doing research on the coins they will choose to use if the investment the market has improved and growth has begun.

Crypto is a big business industry and if you invest, of course, you have to adapt. And you also have to do research about the coins you will buy. And for mass adoption, I think this is very good because it can help Crypto's growth.

bearish is a blow to investors, many investors suffer losses because the value of crypto goes down and because of bearish scam also becomes more and more because there are some projects that actually do not intend to scam but because they have difficulty getting softcap they finally decide to give up and take investor money

of course you have to understand every coin you want to invest because not all Crypto coins are good and profitable.
You have to be good at choosing it so you can make big profits.
knowledge is needed, because it will help you so that your investment can run smoothly.

I think investing in cryptocurrencies is a long-term behavior. Most people who leave midway are speculators. They only get short-term benefits.

Many people still ready when have lost much money at investment, many reality of investor become tired and bored about always got bad moment with their investment, buy with higher price and have to sell with lower price.

It seems to me that the bear market has a very positive impact on the cryptocurrency market. Cryptocurrencies became less volatile and gained real value after all speculators got rid of their coins. I think that with the launch of the Bact platform, the real use of cryptocurrencies in everyday life will become even easier, we will be able, for example, to go and buy coffee in Starbucks for Bitcoin.

Chances of losing is really high inside this investment industry, we need to have a good understanding and make things workable to you,
allow yourself to continue learning and not just to keep your money at risk but to allow making new sets of plans for your benefits.

As the volatility continues, the risk will stay here as it is. Therefore, investing as much as we can take risks, protects against future regret. It may be the opposite, but we do not want to lose much more.

I have not invested in cryptocurrency for more than a year. Today I bought several Bitcoins. I think the price of 4000 dollars is quite profitable at this time.

Speculations really don't work. It's like waiting for the rain to come when the day is too hot. If people are just like thieves to strike while the iron is hot and leave when it seems no longer profitable, it will end in nothing good. The actual usage should come from the realistic viewpoint of utility. Say you use the cryptocurrency as a payments system then it will be best for cryptocurrency's progress.

I can't call it an investment reality. I think this is a phase of the market in which the price of tokens loses its value. I am sure that soon there will be a phase of market growth and all tokens will increase in price.

Am one of those 80% of people you mentioned. My funds all went down the drain and I was left in regrets. That's why I have resolved not to invest for now. May be much later when I see improvements on ICOs and in the market conditions.

It is unlikely that any of the market participants or experts can accurately predict the development of the situation in the future. Many people are now very disappointed with the current situation with mass panic and selling good cryptocurrencies. I really hope that the situation will gradually improve, but it takes time.

Crypto is a speculative market so even we don't like to see it go live with just price speculation, it will remain to have influence with it. The real value was determined by us and that's the people determine its price. The reality of crypto is that, this market isn't for the people who are short tempered. It can't be adopted easily like what we are saying before but as time passes by, we can see that bigger institutions and government bodies are becoming interested to it because they see the positive of it as an investment.

I still see a lot of projects surviving through the 2014 downtrend. And by 2017, those projects will continue to achieve new ATH prices. I am working on the Cosmo project, that this will be a long-term investment project

You should know the investor trader in first place and well known i mean else you will eventually end up being scammed.

Eventually new investors return after some pumps just as current pump happened during last weeks.

crypto investment  reality looks somehow odd because investing in crypto space it really take a lot of risk and endurance moreover scam is everywhere no one wants to invest in any cryptocurrency project  because most of the project are scams and even project with icos always do the worse.so to me investing in the crypto space is not the best option but looking at somethings  there are still some good project out there, i mean project that has good foundation. even if i want to invest i will invest in good and solid project

Part of the reality in investment matters is sometimes loss or even failed, and these are what we need to accept and get prepared off. But the main purpose of investment is to gain and get profit more than what we are invested, that is why we need to study and do research first to success.

Mass adoption is no doubt the thing which help crypto spread and development. But the matter is in real life besides this forum not much people know about cryptocurrency, only few heard something and think it same kind of scam. So before people start using cryptocurrency they have to learn what is it, and understand which benefits it can give them.

Unfortunately it's true. Most people believe that cryptocurrency is a fraud. But this is far from the case. For the global recognition of this technology takes time.

Investing in cryptocurrency is on of the risk investing we can have because of no product or services offering we cant assure our that we can make money.But this investments are good also if we know how to invest right and handle an situation on cryptocurrency.

Investing at this time is very risky, but the risk comes with profit, understanding the project, exploring potential projects and investing in the future.

Exactly dude,this is what all of us must do because we all say that we want crypto to grow but all we did is hold,why not buy bitcoin and use it for something functional but ofcourse this is limited to the location we had since there might some countries that has no really use of bitcoin but for holding

Realities that we can face on cryptocurrency investments are risk and the small chance of making profits.but if we can handle those situations and if we manage the risk it is a good way to make money once ICO was successful and it reaches a good volume of money then bounty hunters and investors will benefit a good reward so it means investing on cryptocurrency is still worthy.

the limitation is an obstacle to date. the use of bitcoin even in my country cannot be used as a transaction tool. I myself can only invest, and trade crypto assets only. until now that's all I can do to participate in advancing this market.

Indeed maybe most of people lost interest in crypto because the price, but i think if the price will reach a new ATH will start invest in crypto again and this maybe is not the best option, better invest before grow.

Yes i am somehow really agree with you.
You have really explained the points as it is truly understandable.
Many people invest their hard worked money in order to gain some profit. But all does not become as profitable as the ones who are making profits.
While investing in cryptocurrencies people often mmake mistakes to choose the correct coin to invest which is most probably the reason for their failures.

People are not ready to spend their cryptos when the prices going down or up which shows why we need stable price for cryptos if it is meant for currency but anyway we no need to talk about the stable prices now because exchanges will not be used much when adoption increases which literally give the stable value for cryptos.

I considered the success of my investment in 2018. So, if I left my money to be stored in Bitcoins or Ethereum, then I would not lose anything and even earn. So now I will not invest.

Adoption is just the solution crypto needs. If not, it will still be a big game for the whales. Those who came in and left because of the losses encountered probably do not have the wills and courage to be in crypto.

The cryptocurrency market has been growing at an exponential pace and making a number of people very rich. But is it all about making money? The technology underlying cryptocurrencies – called Blockchain technology – has the potential to change our lives for the better.

Cryptocurrency investment is real, investing in different projects is good, but 70% of people investing don't know the best time to sell off, so they lose most of their investment due to holding too much.

The only remedy is adoption. Without adoption, it will just be a round and round stuff. There won't be much development seen in crypto as supposed.

Your money is already in altcoin Bitcoin and Ethereum. I'm sure you will have a long-term investment. The profits will double for you if you continue to hold and hold your altcoin.

It is very necessary for crypto adoption,being part of the future technology is the way forward, invest wisely and hold has much you can for the future profit.

Cryptocurrency is very far from being adopted by the world. Speculations made by people who either lose their money or people who are just against the idea of decentralization are  the cause for the delay in the adaptation of cryptocurrency.  People join the crypto space with a wrong idea making them vulnerable to losing their money.  Others also don't understand anything about crypto investment, they are just concern about making profits.

Those people who were here in cryptocurrency since 2015 are surely not rattled by the bearish year of 2018. They have the patience to stay and the strategy to keep calm. They do know that cryptocurrency investment is a sequence of ups and downs so patience is the key to survive.

Actually, I think you are underestimating what crypto can do.
If you think that payments is the whats important, you are overlooking some of the most amazing parts of crypto.
In my mind, the greatest mainstream adaption will be with decentralized autonomous organizations (daos).

It is such a broad term, but it can be anything from a consumer led marketplace to charity organizations.
Blockchain makes it possible for anyone around the world to come together and create something that they themselves regulate.
No opportunistic outside influences or unncessary regulation.

People often say that regulation will come to crypto.
And it most certainly will, to centralized exchanges that is.

But realize, that one of the main powers of bitcoin and why it has lasted for so long is because it is mainly used for deregulated p2p transactions.

Well, investors are losing interest in investing again in crypto because at that time crypto began to fall very deep and very long, this caused investors to be unsure of returning to investment in crypto, but with the current situation improving, hopefully they will come back again and receive crypto again

    The potential of cryptomonas is infinite, because the decentralized system offers power to these coins. Investors have not lost interest in crypto. They just speculate and expect the market to be so low that after investment, they get maximum profit. This is the whale policy, and we depends of them.
     Personally, I am optimistic and I believe that patience is the real solution for the recovery of the market.

I think it was because many peoples joined cryptocurrency at the end of 2017, and later their coins price were falling.
In 2018, it became worst, most peoples who bought at the end of 2017 were selling their coin to avoid more loss.
The lesson i got is, dont buy coin when the price is hyping. Buy it when the coin price is dump.

when trade continues to increase, and the market continues to show good news, I think the investment will soon enter. and investors will no longer be afraid to invest in the crypto market.

Your right but when we are still in the speculation period or years of cryptocurrency, it's the best to make huge chunk of profits. Price swing goes up and down and it you have to follow that in order to win some. Because when adoption commence, I'm sure a much more strict regulation will make it not move so much.

True but when we have a chance to use our crypto for something in real world others wouldn't really use it.
Just like on my thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5115969) as you could see most of them would just hold their crypto and instead of using it as a regular payment method.

I understand you about the "unregulated way", I hope cryptomarket adoption here on our country will be prominent, in case market bull arrives, we are all ready to feast on profit. And about that regulation, that might be impossible as government will not going to allow big investment to process without their concern.

Crypto will surely have a good future. Time will come where majority of the people hold their own kind of coin. We have seen how the adaption have improve from the last years and this would only mean that this system has really potential since the number of people engage are even more rising. There is no denying that real world is now noticing and having the interest on what crypto really is.

Infinite options are hitting the crypto market every day and we need to use these opportunities before it was too late. Investment realities hurt non-experienced investors only.
