Only weak hands sell as soon as it falls. With that being said, everyone should set their limits or make their mind up about what they can afford to lose and when to either get out or buy any more. It's the panic that often leads people to make rash decisions so it's better to stick to your guns and original plan to avoid this.

Um... by buying more. I put a little aside every month just to invest. I find it the best way. You can of course try earn bitcoin from this forum as well from the obvious places (campaigns etc), but offering various services here are a good way to gain some extra income also.

From google:


To get merit you need to make excellent posts. What is an excellent post? One that is helpful or informative. Keep making posts that meet the criteria and someone might merit you.

It's always good to diversify your assets and never put all you eggs in one basket as they say, but holding lots of worthless shitcoins probably isn't going to get you much gains as holding a few strong/popular coins like bitcoin and ethereum and so on. With that being said, you could always get lucky and see some huge gains in one coin that nobody expected and this does happen from time to time. Ripple is a coin that doesn't seem to have had much going for it but those who invested early got very rich from it and the founders are even now billionaires. That's right, billionaires:

Everybody is always looking for that next big thing but it's potluck whether you actually find it and people usually don't, but that's the crypto world for you.

Price falling doesn't mean much in the crypto world. It's mostly just due to fickleness by those who are weak hands a panic as soon as it drops a little and it obviously has a knock on effect. Eth is pretty much the only coin I have any faith in other than bitcoin as it has its uses. The drop doesn't worry me though and I'm holding long term and I'm sure it will bounce back soon enough and I even think it will eventually get back to it's all time high of $1000+. It might even be a good time to buy now, but I'm fine with my current holdings to invest any more.


Supply and demand. That's just how currencies work and when people panic the price can spiral down very fast. They can go up just as quick though.

I don't think this is true. People have been buying bitcoins for as long as they have been created with or with any regulations. Even years ago before they became mainstream you could us many exchanges which required little to no verification. there are still some that don't require full KYC and so on. That's obviously now mostly changed but it's just one more step in the right direction that bitcoin is taking into the mainstream and regulation in a natural process to adoption. We can only hope that it's not just too heavily regulated which could be disruptive but I don't think that will be the case.

There's no correct way to answer that as it depends on everyone's personal preference. Some people know when to cut their loses and some have balls and the determination to keep holding in the hope that they will once rise again. I personally only have a few coins (Bitcoin, BitcoinCash and Ethereum that I'm a long term holder of. The rest I don't have much faith in and hold very little of them but it's money I can afford to lose so I'm just holding them as a gamble that in a few years they might have gained some ground. If not then I haven't lost much and it was a failed speculation but it's what I can afford to lose.

If you read what he says he said there are not too many sites accepting it and that's true. The shopify site you linked to just lists a load of crap basically and I pretty much never heard of most of them and that's the big problem. At the moment bitcoin is just a niche thing. Sure you can spend it at a handful of sites and a load of crappy ones but none of the sites or shops I want to spend it at currently accept bitcoin and that's not very good for those who want to use it as a proper currency.

It's probably neither of them. Personally I don't really care nor do I think it'd be a good idea for his identity to be known. Likely only really bad things can come of it as he will be scrutinized and attacked by the media. If he wants to be known at some point he shall surely reveal himself but if he doesn't then I hope he remains anon and isn't exposed against his will.

Well you could say "Everyone looses in the long run" about life... but not everyone does lose in the long run with gambling. Most do but I've known gamblers who make a living gambling and are very much in profit and I've also known people who have lost thousands and will never recoup their loses. I also know many people who just gamble a little just for fun every now and again and spend no more money than they would on a night out and those people just see it as entertainment just like going to a club or the movies. You lose money at those places when you go to but never win any  .

Mainstream Media and Big Financials obviously have no idea what they're talking about and if the price continues to rise then it is only down to supply and demand. I would disregard what anyone else thinks and continue to promote btc and it should eventually grow much bigger both in demand and price than what it is now. The halvening that is coming up next should be an interesting time for sure and that will really test the demand of bitcoin and hopefully increase the price at the same time.

I haven't seen any updates on his case at all and I'm sure they're busy trying to make a case to appeal but the USG will probably just argue it had nothing to do with his arrest. Can't see him getting off on this technicality though.


Seems pointless as he's probably going to be spending a good chunk of his life behind bars though I'm sure he flipped over and ratted out some others for a lesser sentence. I seem to recall his number two getting nabbed some time back after his arrest and I wonder what part he had to play in that.

Nah. Doubt I'll buy more bitcoins now and would prefer to just earn them. If bitcoin became truly a worldwide currency I would probably buy them instead of fiat when I go on holiday etc. Hope it happens someday.

Eminem is far superior in ever way. Don't think Jay Z has ever had a classic album. Blueprint 2 and Black album are his best but don't compare to Marshal Mathers LP.

You continued to watch them all even though you thought only the pilot was good? If a pilot of the first few episodes don't grab me I just ditch the show. No time to waste. I have only seen the first two episodes but thought they were pretty good and will watch thenm again plus more when I get chance.

Why do stocks shares oil gold fluctuate? Supply and demand. People are constantly trading them and the price follows the demand and supply.

But at the same time it's good for branding. I also don't think names like Kraken are very good. They don't really tell you anything about the company. I agree that businesses shouldn't just be trying to put 'bit' in there because they feel like they have to but there's also nothing wrong with bitpay and bitbargain etc and it's good for adoption when people know what they probably do.

You sold the bitcoin for cash? If you did then you don't have one bitcoin any more  . If I only had 1 btc I'd rather just keep it as an investment. Will be worth a lot more someday probably.

Why is it sad? We can still appreciate "Satoshi". If people knew who he was they would likely just attack him. Satoshi knows who he is and can be proud of his achievement and how people are using it around the world and ihe wanted the plaudits he would reveal himself but either doesn't want that or cant (if he's dead).

I think the biggest threat is the need to make the block size larger. It's not really a problem at the minute but it will be in the future, but I hope its sorted long before then.
