Trading bitcoins os also kind of investment and like any other investment it's risky. Basicly in trading you buy low and sell high or in arbitrage trading you count on the price difference but in practice there is always possibility of wrong judgement or unpredicted behaviour of bitcoin market so instead of profit you can lose your coins.

It seems that it's rapidly going towards 1000$. I'm not sure whether this is good or bad. I mean what if it crushes suddenly. I thought that price will be round 850$ for Christmas but this now is beyond my expectations. We will see what is the highest peak the price will reach this time.

If I don't have the need I will not sell. It seems that price will be going up for a while so I'm planing to keep the coins. But I watch th market all the time and I'm related to react in case something unpredicted happen.

This is a hundred and first topic about bitcoin in 2017.  No one has crystal ball so tha he can exactly say what will be happening with bitcoin in that year. The price is on the way up but this will not last forever. Some of pumps and some of dumps this is the only thing that is certain.

I wish I had more coins at the.moment but due to some circumstances I had to spend them Before. But I asume that the price will continue to rise and that it still isn't too late to gather some bitcoins and make profit. I wish I started to save the coins earlier.

So sad to hear that but there must be some explanation. I use this wallet and never had such issues. I wouldn't like to take anyones side, it's obviously that some people have serious problems but like I've said there must be some reason that could be explained. I.don't beleive that they are scamers.

There is no good or bad time to get Bitcoins. The question is only on what price. Of course the best way is if you can earn them, not buy them.
I agree that the price is high now, but it will get even higher so if you can afford it, buy it now.

Never had such situation. Maybe you have your computer or laptop infected so someone has access to your wallet. Online wallets are risky so this may happen any time. Lucky for you the amount isn't big but someone has maybe just testing to see if the thing will work. If you have more funds there I suggest to move them in another more secure wallet.

Well I could be disappointed occasionaly when I'm not going so well because of bad judgements but not in general. The adrenalin still keeps me going. And I'm always trying to invest smaller amount so I don't get disappointed too much.

I don't think that supporting or adopting bitcoins has anything to do with some countries credit rating. These are two different categories. Availability to do business with bitcoin still doesn't affect the credit rating and I don't think it ever will. Maybe if some day there will be separate bitcoin credit rating.

The good thing is that new campaigns are appearing all the time, looking for new users. But it is true that is hard to get into good paying and quality campaign, these ar not so massive. I wonder how some campaigns manage to remain so long on this forum and other just vanish over night. 

Sometimes when buying it depends if you are a trader or regular user. For traders is very important to keep an eye on the market all the time aln "listen" how is behaving. Good traders can estimate the situation and go even against all trends and predictions and profit when other expect that at least. For common usres is maybe the best just for the moment when the price is afordable and then keep the coins long term.

I don't think they feel much threatend. They still think they are very solid and that something like Bitcoin can't put them out of track. With time they will probably realise the real situation but so far they are acting like nothing is happening. And what can they actualy do about it?

By the end of the year we could have 800$. It seems very realistic. No sign of some major dump in the near future and when we touch 800$ the path for even higher rise is wide open. Let's just keep our coins and watch them growing.

In some countries it is still riksy that you have any business with Bitcoin using your bank account because the bank can close it or freeze it. On the other hand some banks are experimenting with bitcoin and there might be a will even to include it in their business and service to clients. I belive that one da banks would accept the fact that they can't ignore the presence of bitcoin and find the way to embrace it this way or another.

What do you think how much is that he/she expects to get as a donation? How much are these nudes worth? I think many people will not fall into this because they are not sure are these nudes taken somwhere from internet and claimed to be personal nudes or not. Can a person actualy get some coins on this way?

It's hard to predict. I don't think that some big drop is on the horizont maybe some smaller ones that will not affect the price dramaticaly. And it's kind weird that in the period when the price is on the way up for a longer period suddenly all are starting to talk about the big dump that might but also doesn't have to happen. Is this some kind of constant fear? Or is this done on purpose?

Poloniex culd be a good platform for you to start. I see mayn other users suggest it also. I don't have any special tecnique, iz's just matter of experience and knowledege you get with time. Arbitrage trading could be very profitable but you have to fully enageged in it and at the moment this is not very profitable because differences are not so big. Just go slow, one step at the time to get as much exeperience that you can and the results will come.

I wouldn't suggest only one currency. Depends how much bitcoins do you have but the best thing is to split the investments, let's say so. The part you can cash out in dollar or Euro and a part of it you can exchange to gold. A don't exchange every coin you have, leave something because bitcoin is stil good investment for the future. And the big dump is not expected at the moment.

I saw this update too. It's very good thing that blockchain is working on improving their services. It's very convenient to have possibility to buy bitcoins with credit or debit cards but at the moment I find the fees high. Maybe this will change in the future.
