I think one political event that I can think of is changing of the guards, i.e. a new President was elected by a nation and this new leader is either anti or pro bitcoin, then definitely policies will change as well. Imagine a country that has enjoying the full support of the government for 4-6 years then suddenly a new leader was elected which suddenly went the ban hammer on cryptocurrency, then it will have a serious effect to the price and the bitcoin community for that particular country.

You have answered your own question, because you said that bitcoin is the future. Then why look for others? There is no doubt in my mind that bitcoin is much better or way better than anyone in the market, and its really good if you are going to hold on it for the long haul. Right now the price is picking up above $6100-$6200 and a bullish person will say that it go up as high as $7000 specially before the segwit2x fork. There's nothing wrong with forks, its just a way to improved the system I guess.

Perfect manager, perfect manager, escrows are being held by someone trusted. A campaign that manage by the likes of Yahoo has a greater chance that you are going to get paid in time. However, in bounty campaign in the altcoin market its really hard to tell what's perfect because its ICO based. If the ICO is successful then of course you will a good returns, however most of the ICO are scammy and you will end up getting nothing.

But do you believed bitcoin is a scam?

Well its gonna hard to explain to the people specially those who are very close minded one who thinks that bitcoin is a scam or pyramiding scheme. So If I where you, will not bother to explain and point what bitcoin is. Is their lost if they believed what the TV host has said about bitcoin. That's how media portray bitcoin by the way, so don't be surprised by it. Because the more you explain bitcoin to others, the more they think you are crazy. . Let them discover what bitcoin can do to them. They will soon realized that bitcoin is not as bad as they think.

I really don't see any drastic price movement that can attributed to the Indonesian ban. Although they are very much active in the bitcoin scene, they haven't really that grasp on any significant market movement so I assumed that there's no effect, or to an extent maybe minimal and unnoticeable. They are not as big as China to really put a significant dent and negative news in our ecosystem.

Is this for real man? This is the first time that I heard about it.

Well we all know that John Mcafee is eccentric but a fun personality. Of course he is famous for this anti-virus namesake, so I believed that it will cause quite a stir in the crypto world and maybe, just maybe will have enough traction from our community and will be a successful coin in the future. Lets see how will things pan out in the next months or so. He has a lot of money so I don't think that we will scam and run with the investors funds.

I think bitcoin will really go up in the next coming weeks specially with Segwit2x in November. No doubt in my mind that it will touch $8000 before the end of the year. Maybe the price is down, but if you go are going to think about it, the support for $5500 and above is very good, very strong so unlikely to go back to $5000. And with the upcoming Segwit2x, there will be a few challenges ahead but by the end of the year, we will past $7000 mark and going to $8000.

The mere fact that their supposed official announcement website is always down and no one from our community can point us to a correct direction lost a lot of interest from most of us. The hype was just to get the free coins and used it to buy bitcoins or go to altcoins. Personally, I was hype before this fork, however, it's getting nowhere as we are getting closer to the date. Its just free coins, nothing else. Altcoins airdrops are more exciting though, in my opinion. And right, it doesn't get any traction from our community as well.

I really heard a lot of good things from this coins.ph. So you guys are happy with having such a good trading platform that you can used to pay your basic necessities like internet or electricity bills. But for those who don't have a friendly trading platforms, the best options is to really convert our bitcoin and used it like fiat. That's the way we could used our bitcoins now because its not yet universally accepted, not yet. But once its peak in about 2 years, we can spent our bitcoin like credit cards, paying/buying things and using our bitcoin with ease and no third party involved.

Importing your private keys? Well that's a red flag for me and I wouldn't trust anyone with my private keys. So stay away with TabTrader and besides no one has really heard of that apps before so its better to be safe. I don't want to check for reviews because the way you describe it smells like its not legit at all. Anyways, just find other ways to trade and not used it. Do your trade manually in the beginning so that you can have a fell on how the market revolves.

Exactly. We all have our old saying here: "Invest what you can afford to lose". But it looks like the OP is investing all his hard earn money so all of us makes us wonder what if the things didn't work on his favor? What will happened to him in the future. Its a high risk investment specially the altcoin and I strongly advise you not to invest on them short term. If I have that kind of money I will go for bitcoin and just hodl on it minimum 2 years only and then revisit it after that. We don't know what will the future holds for us, but amongst the coins you mentioned its only bitcoin that has a really bright future specially for the long haul.

Just like everyone here, I can't really see bitcoin prices falling down to $2000 or even $3000 because its gonna be too low that everyone will likely buy a lot of bitcoins with that price. So I doubt it can go lower even for 1 days. So its not only ridiculous but seems illogical as well. See the price today, its almost $5600 from as high as $6000. But I'm positive that after everything has settled down with his Bitcoin Gold situation, the price of bitcoin will go up again in no time and investors putting solid cash in the ecosystem once more.

This is true. I'm lucky that I found a good bounty before and I feel I'm lucky before I got a lot of money. Well not a lot but I didn't expect that much money because I'm still a jr member then. So I'm very lucky and happy. However, as far as investment is concern, I haven't really put money because I'm afraid that the ICO would just run my money. I don't want to take that risk, but sometimes I regret my decision. So if I'm given a chance to join a good project with a good bounty campaign offer, I will take it anytime.

OK I'm glad they decided to support  Bitcoin Gold because it will really benefit them and the community as well. I still have a few tokens deposited on them and I don't have any issues so far. And I agree with what you said, it will really bring good to our community to trade and used their trading platform. I just hope that support will be great as this is one of the factors that people are looking at.

Can't really predict mate. Bitcoin market has so volatile lately that no amount of graphs or TA is applicable. Just today, bitcoin is down like 5% already because people who have claimed their free bitcoin gold has shifted back to altcoin as evident of ETH gain 3% now and other Altcoin as well getting green. I'm waiting for investors to dump and put it back to bitcoin but its not yet happening. Basing on today's price, maybe $6500 will the top that we can get on this looming Segwit2x in November.

With all the wealth he has, I think it doesn't make sense for him to criticized bitcoin. However, bitcoin is now very popular, every individual has its very opinion on it. hahahaha. Every one that you are going to interview has something to say about bitcoin. I hope you are not investing on it Price, otherwise you are just getting into the popularity and riding with it all along. We can understand Dimon's attack because he is a bankers, but you sir with your billions of pesos just sitting everywhere, doesn't makes sense to bash bitcoin at your level.

I'm sorry but I think Vertcoin is already a sinking ship. Yes, I agree the coin has been in existence for quite some time now, but it didn't enjoy any support from the community. The price is just above $2 now. I think if it has gotten support, if should also be around $50. But sadly it didn't and I doubt that its better for long term hold. I'm not totally sold on this coin, just another one of them in the market that will be used for simply pump and dump by the market manipulators from behind.

Here's are three possible scenario's that I can think of during the fork:

[1] dump their bitcoin gold immediately and buy more bitcoins. - Resulting on bitcoin price not tanking and even go higher.
[2] hold on their bitcoin gold - bitcoin price will tank a few percentage
[3] dump their bitcoin gold and go back to altcoin - bitcoin price will tank but altcoin market will flourish after the bloodshed.

And its now even trading BTG / BTC in their trading platform....

Its looks like they want to be the first to really accepts a coin that hasn't been mined yet? And they said that} BTC deps/wds will be disabled in 21 hrs." as per twitter accounts.


Exactly. I think they did it with Bitcoin Cash before, so its no surprise that they have did it with Bitcoin Gold today. I don't have any Bitcoin on Yobit though, I would rather put my Bitcoin on a wallet that I have total control of my private keys. Besides this Bitcoin Cash will be dumped so hard in the first day. Not interested.

Most likely this the scenario that we are seeing right now. Yobit announcement earlier giving free bitcoin gold push the price to ATH, and it looks like they are selling bitcoin gold now and taking it somewhere else, either cashing it out or going back to altcoin market. But I don't think that they are going to altcoin becaus they are still bleeding. I suspected that most of them are just holding bitcoin gold now and not yet dumping it. I'll expecting that bitcoin will recover again tomorrow at $6000 or above once more.
