Eh, I think bitcoin reaching that much in this year is too overly far fetched. Yes, bitcoin is unexpected but that is just way too much.
There is quite a lot of panic sellers still which reduces the price even more. Just take the dip in the present as an opportunity to acquire more.
It is possible for bitcoin to reach over $50k, just not this year.

There, my friend, is what they call FUD.
Like the people you described, I recommend to continue holding your coins. These dips are just in the nature of bitcoin, being volatile and unexpected. It is given that bitcoin will rise in the future with its gaining popularity attracting more investors. There is no need to worry about it if you are a long-term investor anyway.
Don't let yourself fall into false speculations.

I honestly do not care about analysts' predictions and speculations, most of them are just to cause fud and lower the price - they try to manipulate it and there should not be a worry for long-term investors as these dips are just on the nature of bitcoin, a good opportunity to get on even. It is given that bitcoin will soar in the future as it gain popularity.
As long as people use it, it will always have a value.

This was still back on January but yeah, the earlier you go, the better. Though still mind the current price and wait for the lowest so it is wise for your money.
Especially if you do long-term on your investment, it would give you quite a lot of profit - the low value of btc is attracting a lot of investors which rise the price.

Like everyone had said, it is the simple demand-supply system of bitcoin.
If you sell your coins in one go, it increases the supply which decreases the value of bitcoin.
Though 1000 BTC is not really that much compared to the total volume of bitcoin to tremendously change its price, somehow it can just contribute to the drop.

I do not really believe or do expectations on the price of bitcoin - it is very volatile and having an accurate expectation is hard to point out and pretty much senseless.
I only believe in one thing about it: it has great potential in the future, of course it will rise no matter the dips it get in the present so I guess I will continue to hold my coins for as long as I can.
We can only see when it does.

Yes, it is the right and best time to buy bitcoin.
The earlier you go into the field, the best and more profit you can possibly get especially if you do long-term.
Not to mention that the price has drop currently, it is great; always remember to buy low & sell high.

Yes, it will rise soon enough and everyone should be patient and not fall into false speculations or panic with the drop of the value.
It has gained quite the popularity in the present which attracts investors into the game.
The current low value as well even influences most to buy and hold them.
Buy low, sell high always.

Yeah sure, the value of bitcoin will increase in some tims in the future and it always will as long as people use it and not to mention its gaining popularity as it had made quite a number of investors instantly rich with just waiting mainly.
I swear 75% of predictions are wrong, there is no point in believing or making them - bitcoin is very volatile and unexpected, you can only know when you get there with patience and time.

No one exactly knows or correctly predict what can happen in bitcoin but one thing for sure is that it will be great in the future and being in the game in the present is definitely an opportunity in receiving great amount of profit.
Yes, you can say that now is the best time to buy bitcoin - the earlier, the better and not to mention that it is on its drop currently.
The value of bitcoin mainly depends on its demand/supply scheme, the more the people buy it, the greater the price it gets.
How come you do not know this if you are in the field for years now?

Yes, yes, yes now is the best time to invest in bitcoin. The earlier you start on it, the better.
Bitcoin has a great potential and many expect that the value would grow even more in the future.
Bitcoin is at a low in the present so it definitely is a good opportunity to get in the game.

If you own a considerably good amount of bitcoin, yes, waiting for 5 years is a good idea if you do not want the effort in expanding it more and just let it grow alone.
Though if you are thinking that the value of bitcoin will be back to low after that time, no.
I do not agree on that, bitcoin increasingly grows popular as time pass by - attracting more investors which rise the price.
Bitcoin would not go back to $400.

I think not because there will always be people that would easily fall for "too good to be true" frauds and you cannot change that unless there is a good education on preventing them or just be moral enough to not scam - there will always be greed for money and they would do anything for it.
I think the blockchain technology and the legit wallets are very safe and stolen or hacked accounts are pretty sure is more on the users' fault.

It is always about the concept of demand-supply.
The more users buying BTC, the greater the value of it and the opposite - so yes, popularity over time of the crypto is a very important element of it.
More people selling their BTC for a lower price (mostly because of panic selling on false speculations or just simply a need) contributes to what they call "dump" which lowers the value.

Pretty sure that your employer company would think further ahead to not let your insurance to be consumed into bankruptcy - or else, if that ever happens, you can always file a lawsuit lol
Investing long-term for your retirement on cryptocurrencies is a wise decision but I would not want my insurance to be entirely on bitcoin, or whatever cryptocurrency, as it is very volatile and unexpected and risky.

I do not see the point of having the comparison between investments in bitcoin and education.
Of course, education comes first. Knowledge is a primal need in every field and matter you take upon to do it in the best possible and most effective way.
Your knowledge and experience identifies your individuality.
Though you can do both at the same time, just learn how to balance and be patient enough to put off effort.

I think, yes, teaching children to be profit-bounded and be financially wise is especially great and rather an understatement.
Though we should not shove it to their mouths, let them understand its importance but not force them; let them have their freedom to choose their careers.
And morality, good ethics should always be put over money.

Well of course, the challenge of having a small capital is the lack of resource, especially if you are talking into real-life businesses and on cryptocurrencies, diversifying your investment portfolio may be quite hard and the yield is very little no matter how little the risk of loss.
Small capital simply means smaller profit.

It is in it nature that dollars or fiat can be volatile too, the value always depends on the demand-supply of money and on its circulation around, over the country.
It has slowly lost its value, yes, but compare it with other economies - it has more valuable than most; it depends on the economic performance.
Well, it is not as volatile as bitcoin that it basically becomes a hassle in adjusting prices so constantly.

Do not generalize, there are millionaires who worked hard for their wealth, who got lucky on some lottery or gambling and yes, who scams and fool people for their greed.
Debt is not always bad, it is only if you loan a sum you cannot really pay or would only use for something not profitable and valuable.
Yes, I do agree. It is called revolutionizing, especially if you do something worthy and beneficial.
No, you still have to. Especially on learning to strategize to manage your finances effectively and more
Do not simply believe in just bitcoin, they are a lot of other ways to become "rich" like hard work. Many people did become rich but there are still a need for effort and patience.
Yes, I do agree. Be a few steps forward than everyone else.
