gold: crap of the old generation. value because people know nothin else
btc: pioneer of new value transfer. worldwide experiment which hasnt failed. even if payed people call it dead every month.
       has enough followers to keep going for years...

correction. used by some to rebuy. used by some to write fud. used by some to drop out.
so the world continues. but the faith of hodlers remain. they and far more people anticipate the future...

darkangel great response. i would add the fact about experienced (yet a bit slower) dev team core. they carried the baby a long way and are ready for shots like the lightning network.
this will be the next big leap.

change to ltc or monero. get coins out and change back. problem are %trading fees. u ll loose coins...

newbie sells bmw for bitcoin. i am rolling. soon someone will sell a spaceship. only 25btc.

ethereum has an enourmous setup for 2018
dapps, companies, startups, tokens, proof of stake In roadmap.

it will be used 200% more than bitcoin in applications to fuel decentral calculations/software.

it will be used like bitcoin in speculations.

does anyone have a proper link for running bitcoin core on raspberry pi?

bitcoin has a growing role. it will never vanish again, its a revolution. people are in charge, not one market controller:
todays roles are:
+investment
+clearing vehicle (for exchanging currencies / goods)
+democratized / crowd network
+modern mining
+technology alife. its not a whitepaper that has no proof of work. its out since 2009. millions using it.

maybe someday the daily payments will be added to this list, but it needs to
+stablize price
+be transferrable with low fees
+vendors/markets need seemless integration
+more legal status in countries

a lot of foundation will be done in lightning network. the rest is to us. ASK all your vendors to integrate the payment with bitcoin/litecoin/ether.
DONT wait. ask.

bitcoin is already a speculative mess.
most altcoins are pure fantasy. dont let your btc go. keep btc and ether...

the only prob is. with 10k there will be  correction. it will be bigger. just keep hodling guys. it might loose 30% in 1 week.

trade is 50%+ psychology. so yes, the name and the timing and the environment and the sender of an information is important.
why do you think so many ico show and introduce members of their advisory boards? (sometimes invented i guess)
only to show, yes we have names and professionals an board. name influence more than you think.
name your coin TRASHCAN or GOLDCAN...

>>The harder it is to mine bitcoin, the more valuable it becomes. Just like gold, it's not easy to come by.
i dont think because of a miner joing the btc pools the price is directly higher valued.
price = bid and ask that meets.
there can be many miners, if no new customer/or old wants to buy the btc there is no trade.

so be prepared that miner shoot over the max diff. a while, then learn that its not profitable anymore, then a correction sets in. (hashrate)

too many ether in circulation. wait till the pos updates, then 1k will be in reach

you will not study crypto. you mean trading. its highly psychological. even in old trading realms (stocks, bonds, futures, etf). crypto is amazing but when the bull years stop its gonna massacare a lot of hodlers...

ethereum is the next base technology. if you want it or not. it will support hundrets of good and bad applications. it will remain. garbage coins will die. (1000+ of em)

equal if you know the secret timing tricks. use leverage on stocks (options/knock outs) if you want the crypto feeling. (+10% / +20% in on day no prob)

so whats neo`s value again vs the other 800 alts. and vs the major players like btc, ltc, ether ??
none? ok then treat it as a gamble. not intrinsic value.

i read about it 3 years ago but didnt give a damn. a bad mistake. now since 1 year active and astonished what an economy raised, how many people start companies, mine, trade, or research on more advanced blockchains. it seems to be another step for the world in the digital age. keep on surprising me bitcoin and blockchain world....

most big promises will fail or need a long rail up time. q1 not much happening, believe me.
writing a webpage with a good idea and a plan how this affects the world is one thing. delivering value to customer is another.

discourage keeping coins for a shorttime.
encourage not moving coins. (interest on froozen coins)
bind coins to something else that is uneasy to shift...
forbid trading on exchanges...
