That's right, bitcoin is indeed very volatile and very risky. For that, if you want to invest in crypto, either bitcoin or altcoin, you need a deep understanding, so we are not wrong in taking action. I do not recommend investing before someone really understands what investment is and what is crypto . So investing in crypto is not for trial, so if only just try it, the risk is loss.

Simply dont invest because of the hype or others hearsay that crypto investment is a scheme wherein you can earn quick. Many people are wrong with that impression especially when bull run 2017 happened, they engage themselves not knowing the price can drop unexpectedly. So if you bought your coins that time you probably disappointed how the market moves from bullish to bearish trend. In the end every investment has risk and no assurance at all so before you invest your money take time gaining knowledge on how this particular investment works.
Indeed, some people looking at bitcoin investment so easily because they know someone who is becoming successful about it but they don't really know how it works and what should they do. Investment is not just you deposit money and support the particular project because in this sector scammers are everywhere, one single mistake can lead to losing your own money. I can say that if you are eager to earn and chose to invest because there are lots of ways to earn crypto, they should be informed in every way especially to the way of earning they choose so that they can reach their goal which is to earn money. Taking risks is one of a good attribute you need to achieve and also the courage to earn.

The market is getting mature and the game could have probably changed. I didn’t really expect that prices will rally in the first month of the year, but this is a good indication that the market really keeps on surprising regardless of what’s happening around the globe.
The market is gaining and even there's different incidents around the world we are keep seeing good momentum inside this industry.
It's good to see that investors and holders are both working to keep the value much stronger and trying to find new barrier, though
there are lots of possibilities and considerations a need of good assessment should always be there to lessen the risk.
There's a lot of crisis happening all over the world but that does not affect the prices as we have seen in the market, we all know that there is tension between countries and some disasters happening all around the world and now there is a virus that is spreading but look how the prices stays, but I don't actually think that this is a bull run, maybe we have seen that the price pumps up since it was experienced downfall in the last few years. If we just continue to support every cryptocurrency and keep on holding what we bought, maybe we can keep the price like this. Have patience and goodness will come soon as we are continuing to support every project and avoiding panic selling. Investors must know that this is the best time to move.
1183  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin a Safe Haven for Your Money? on: January 29, 2020, 12:16:05 AM
Bitcoin investments may either go bad or wrong and it really depends. Not only about bitcoin, each and every crypto currency investment could go very good with good profit while in other hand, there's a risk investing into them.
Yes, because Crypto prices are volatile, it is very risky if we invest with Crypto, especially with Bitcoin because the price of Bitcoin always changes with a short time, But you can also get multiple profits in just a short time. That is Investment in the world of Crypto. Full of risk but also full of profit.
Bitcoin is indeed a really good investment and it is a safe haven for your money. But as you have said, it is still depending on the situation but that situation may be a bad season only for bitcoin because since the prices are volatile, meaning it is changing as time passes by, there are times that the price is pumping but there are times also that the price are dumping. There are investments that are long term in which you are depositing your money into a particular project and the time of earning is not too fast for you because you need to wait for a particular season in which that project must have high volume in the market and especially it has a big value in the market.

Personally,I have a friend on my junior high school days and I hear them having a conversation about cryptocurrency. And because of my curiosness, I asked them what is that they are talking about. At first, I thought it was a game credit or something that they are earning but in reality it is actually real money but a digital one. They actually taught me how to create my own account in this forum and they teached me how to join a particular signature in which you can earn money by promoting that particular signature campaign but also depending on how the campaign runs, if that becomes successful or not. They are paying you their tokens they selling or in btc. It is actually o good privelege to know this and a good opportunity since I am still a student and I have not work to support my studies but now I can somehow support my financial needs. Thanks to them and thanks to this forum.
1185  Local / Pilipinas / Would a crisis in general would affect crypto adaptation ? on: January 25, 2020, 01:02:47 PM
Ang cryptocurrency kabilang ang Bitcoin ay sensitibo sa mga 'geopolitical' na mga usapin. Naapektuhan ng US-Iran Tension ang presyo ng Bitcoin. Ang halaga nito ay umakyat sa $9,194.99.

https://www.coinspeaker.com/coronavirus-gold-bitcoin-prices/amp/

Kung naapektuhan nito ang presyo, maaari kayang maapektuhan din ng isang malaking krisis katulad ng corona virus na ngayon ay kumakalat, ang adaptasyon ng Bitcoin sa isang bansa?
1186  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How much bitcoin to buy? on: December 26, 2019, 07:46:12 PM
I recently purchased bitcoin, it was the most I have ever put into a cryptocurrency. 
This is going to be a long term buy, This was taken out of stock money,
Now that I have done this I feel more excited about
where bitcoin is headed than  I do about stocks. Now I feel like I should take more out of
Stocks, Feel there’s going to be more return this way. Thoughts on this am I getting carried away

How much should I buy? Simple answer would be as much as your capasity to loose. It is very good to hold a chank of Cryptocurrency in your investment and if you are looking out for long term buy(as you mentioned) it is very great investment. You can even keep diversifying the crypto investment in other alts as well in the long term investment.

As per my analysis the BTC market can go a bit down from current situation, I am thus on hold at stable coin and enter in few days. excepting a spike in price by second quarter of 2020.

Disclaimer: this is my study of market. Please read the market and then step.

Do not let your emotion ride over the analysis. All the best.
You can actually buy how many bitcoin do you want as long as you are able to manage that big amount if you do that. Because at a time like this, bitcoin is not that good like what happened last 2017 wherein it reaches its highest value when it started reaching $20k and it is the golden time for everyone else using bitcoin because any projects that are coming are going successful because there are lots of investors that time. As long as you can manage every bitcoin you have there is no problem with it. If spike in value happened it is good for you to buy right now so that your money will be doubled up.
1187  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Do You Make Money With Bitcoin? on: December 26, 2019, 07:01:26 PM
I have an idea. Investing in this market for an average of 1 year may be profitable. But he has to meet certain requirements. You can't make money just by waiting for 1 year. When prices fall, it is necessary to set aside a capital that can make purchases. Then you need to make sales at the designated price points. Bitcoin's price is constantly in motion. We need to learn how to surf.
There are actually lots of techniques or ways for you to earn bitcoin, different techniques different risks also you are facing. There are way like investing wherein you are depositing your own money in a particular project that you have chosen and you need to wait for that to be successful so that they can give your investment together with your profit. There are also what we called bounty hunting in which users here are going to join a particular project wherein they are the ones who will promote the project itself to different sectors such as social media platforms.
1188  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoiners now is your chance on: December 26, 2019, 06:40:30 PM
Agree, when most of them choose to leave then that is a good time for us because after all the potential of the crypto market has a future that can be said to be good because the real development that continues to be carried out to finally be accepted in the community in a larger space in the world.
I totally agree with this subject. This is actually the right time for you to invest or to trust every altcoin, as you can see the market is down right now but you do not need to think about that because that was the perfect time to buy some altcoin and wait for the right time that the price of that particular altcoin you bought pumps so that you can really earn some money. That is really the technique for you to earn, to buy low and sell high. There may be some projects that failed but if you are studying every step you make, failure is in low probability.
1189  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Experience of A Bitcoin User on: December 15, 2019, 11:48:52 PM
This is not really a new scam but not many users are aware of it. On Reddit, it was discussed extensively, please be enlightened  and secure your BTC. https://www.cryptoinfowatch.com/hackers-are-using-clipper-malware-to-steal-bitcoin-from-users/
Hackers and scammers never stop inventing new strategies for stealing from people. But, how you avoid these scammers is still the same ways – stop installing apps from unknown sources, make use of the main app stores whenever you want to install an application.

Stop opening unsolicited mails, when you see emails from people you don't know, just delete it immediately. And another thing is to avoid giving out information about yourself because when they lay hands on your information they can as well use it to do something against you. I'm always careful with how I use cryptocurrency because I know that they are not like PayPal, there is no way you can reverse your money, once it's sent, just say bye-bye to it.
Most people have never treated their online security as something important because for the most part of their lives they have relied on centralized institutions to protect them, but we know that is not true with bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general, your coins are as secure as you make them be, and if you install your wallet in the same computer that you use for your everyday life and you have no problem installing software from unknown sources then it is obvious that at some point you're going to lose your money.

This is also why people do things like forget their coins on exchanges or wallets or lock themselves out of their own wallets losing the keys. People are so used to having some upper power to turn to when things go wrong or as people always do someone to blame for what is going wrong. Without this people may feel powerless. Even more so when susceptible to scams. Bitcoin is so free there is little you can d if you are scammed.
MY experience as a bitcoin user is somehow good and somehow bad also because yes I am earning here but also I am being scammed but that scams are not intentionally because the project might fail. Most users of Bitcoin have regret. In my case, it is somehow related. There are continuous dumps that happened and to cut my loss, I sell all of my Bitcoin and converted into Fiat without knowing that it will be able to recover with the backdrops. I sold my Bitcoin when it is priced at 3300 and currently it is priced at 4200 and still increasing. But now, I am planning to again, invest in Bitcoin and would use what I've learned which is to hold during downfalls.
1190  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: To bounty hunters & investors on: December 15, 2019, 11:27:08 PM
Bounty hunters can make enough money for whole year from a single project. That's true some project always scam but some project gives us great profit.
What projects over the past two years have brought you such a profit for which you can live the whole year? maybe you just dream about such projects or spend only 10 dollars per month. the bounty campaign market has changed a lot and to earn good money you need to work too much
In investors, they should have learn different terms for them to earn crypto effectively and they should apply what they learned. They should study every project for them to secure their money and prevent scams. Join different campaigns. The campaign is a good source of income and also to earn Bitcoin. Weekly campaigns directly pay Bitcoin as a reward while bounty campaigns use tokens as rewards. Those tokens can be converted or traded to Bitcoin which its value varies on the market's rate of exchange. You'll just need to finish the campaign to be able to receive a reward at the end of the campaign. You may look for campaigns in the Altcoin section, marketplace then bounties thread, and choose a campaign as you like. Rules on the campaign should are followed.
1191  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can i Bitcoin or not on: December 15, 2019, 11:06:48 PM
If this is your first experience in crypto I won't invest all 5k. I'd invest 1k in btc now, while it's a bear market, and watch the behavior of this investment.
actually a good first step to asking if you really don't understand and don't speculate. I agree with you not to invest everything into bitcoin can be divided into several items, so there are alternatives that have.
some to bitcoin and some to altcoin, but it is not recommended to buy new altcoin at ICO because it is currently not good and there are no guarantees. better to buy altcoin that already has a market and can analyze briefly at CMC to determine its choice.
You are the one who is actually to decide if you want to invest or not, but I am recommending you to do invest but first, you need to study a lot of things for you to protect your own money and to make it grow here because knowledge is important in a sector like this especially your own money is at stake. I can say that you should know different terms and information wherein can help you to the technique you want for you to earn cryptocurrency. It is actually the perfect time to invest or to buy tokens, buy low sell high.
1192  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH to zero? This guy is dreaming! on: December 15, 2019, 10:45:53 PM
January is very critical month regarding the trend or next move of the market and it is even important for eth, personally im still hopeful that we will start seeing the movement in positive direction from january especially if we end december on a high note.
This is not happening I can say that confidently because look how far ETH goes, we can see that ETH is almost the second on bitcoin having highest value of price and volume. This may be the worst situation that every cryptocurrency experienced but still, it is fighting the dump and still have a price even if it is low. I can say that if we wait and hold our token we can see the goodness of cryptocurrency, knowing that ETH has also a good platform in which they have smart contracts that are famous because of them.
1193  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why are the world’s governments not using cryptocurrencies? on: December 15, 2019, 10:23:52 PM
I’ve recently learned the many advantages of cryptocurrencies and how they can revolutionize the way we use money around the world
You may have learned that, but perhaps you haven't learned how many cryptocurrencies there are on the market and how most of them are of such low quality that they're practically worthless.  And there is also the issue of volatility, and it's a big one.

Governments would be ill-advised to hold even bitcoin in reserve.  What would happen if a gov't bought it at $13,000 this year and held it?  They obviously would have lost a lot of money on paper, and I can guarantee you that the people of that govt's country would be very upset.  That's probably the main reason why they don't, and another reason is that bitcoin is just too new and isn't well understood by politicians.
Maybe not all governments are not using it, maybe some of them are also using it. I know some people with a position in the senate really come using cryptocurrency and even create their own token with his own money because he is rich, he is a billionaire. I can say that a different person has a different perspective on cryptocurrency. We all know that cryptocurrency is better to use than fiat, it has advantages in different terms such as payment method wherein you can make a transaction when you are buying making transactions faster than paying with fiat.
1194  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Opinions about quitting mining on: December 14, 2019, 06:42:20 AM
it is wrong to sell the rig. you can find a better new way to get better than selling a rig. It is a very good money-making tool.
it's not until you can find a good coin to be mined with your mining rig. Remember about the competition in mining is very hard today consider the difficulty of any major coins increasing a lot.
It's a good decision when you can't even create a few dollars from your mining rig every day.
It is actually depends on you if you are earning some good money and you can pay the bills like internet and power source which is very important when you are mining because here in my country it is hard to mine cryptocurrency because the bill of electricity is high so you can lose your money just by paying source of power and not even earning that big amount of cryptocurrency. If you have actually the free source of power like a solar panel to mine, it is actually good but if not, do not do it. It is actually the expensive way of earning crypto because you need to have high specifications of video cards and many more before you can earn a lot of cryptocurrencies.
1195  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's the most complicated thing about Bitcoin? on: December 14, 2019, 06:21:09 AM
Yes, you are correct. UI sometimes makes the cryptocurrency more complicated because of technical terms. The developer must know how these terms make simple to avoid confusion and misunderstanding. As an IT student when I have time, I hope I can make a way to simplify the process inside the cryptocurrency.

I remember the transitioning from My ether wallet vintage to the new MEW right now, just to share my experience and might be helpful to bitcoin application developers. If they are to make an update to their applications, they should consider still providing the features they have, or to somehow notify the people about the changes that happen. Because most of the time, the most complicated thing is to search for the feature you already have before and once the application was updated, it is not available.
I think the most complicated way about bitcoin is its volatility in terms of price because it is changing time by time, we cannot actually predict when it's gonna pump or dump so if we buy some tokens, we don't know when to sell or even buy more because what if in the future it dumps to a very low price and did not come back again. But you will regret that if you don't buy tokens and it pumps more than 200% of the tokens you bought. It is actually taking risks, if we lose, we should not lose hope and buy some more until you win.
1196  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Whats the future of Altcoin on: December 14, 2019, 06:00:16 AM
For now, Altcoins may not be a season because of the poor market, bad coin products, and garbage, no innovation and much more. Buy BTC Just to be one reduces the risk overload or you could try to see the NRG project so good, please check in Coinmarketcap if you are interested.
As of now, altcoin's price are dumping because the market is not well, just by looking at the price of every altcoin you can actually notice that this is not good for everyone to buy token or to invest but still if there are some projects that are deserving to be supported, why not to support them right? I wish that the market will recover very soon for us to be profitable again making money with our own knowledge depending on our preferrable way of earning cryptocurrency. We can still buy altcoin, it is actually the best time to buy altcoin since the value is not that big, the only thing we are afraid of if that token will not come back again to its high price.
1197  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think of the current status of Bitcoin? on: December 14, 2019, 05:40:07 AM
I just wanted to ask what you think we as a community achieved in 2019.

Despite some progress we are still having problems like this:

Study: Chinas BTC Miners Control 66% of Global Hash Rate

As recently reported by Cointelegraph, Bitmain and Canaan Creative are the top mining chip suppliers in China. Meanwhile, Bitmain appears on track to monopolize China’s crypto mining market as some reports claim that the company accounts for 75% market share of the crypto hardware market worldwide.

and these are the latest news about Bitmain:

Wu Jihan resurfaces as Bitmain Ceo after Co-Founder is Forced Out

the price may rise a lot, more people may enter the crypto world, but for a long time china's nightmare will haunt us
For me, it is just staying at this price as of now, because it has not adjusted in terms of price and stays the same, maybe this last month of the year it may be pump up in terms of value, we all wish that it will happen. If that happens, the projects that are being developed last 2017 or the time it started to fall down may go recover also and can give what is being given to them, the only thing we are waiting as a bounty hunter and an investor is that the token will be listed if the market goes very well.
1198  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin really still decentralized?? on: December 13, 2019, 10:39:22 PM
After the years in trading Bitcoin it came more and more clear to me that Bitcoin is technically not decentralized anymore... its mainly owned by huge mining farms or early adopters who are able to manipulate the market at will, many exchanges playing with Bitcoin and Altcoins by making fools out of the normal Joe who wants to enter the Crypto world, i know many here will think that you should be ready and get informed before taking any step into the crypto world, but does it not bother anyone that some people are enriching them self by kicking the crap out of your wallets??
Bitcoin was never fully decentralized anyway! Worse is, you can never jump to that conclusion just by trading. You also seem mad because you are a trader and people with more bitcoins are able to manipulate the market. That literally has nothing to do with bitcoin being centralized. You can start a mining farm and control a good proportion of it as well? Or buy some bitcoins now and maybe after 10 years you'd be a whale?

Bitcoin Mining is dead unless you own a mining farm with the necessary hashrate, again only big companies having access to Bitcoin!!!
What is your thought about this??
It is what it is. If you don't like it, move on to something else. There are better coins in terms of security, anonymity, and decentralization if that's your need.
Indeed, there are still no organization or group of people who are taking responsibility about cryptocurrency, there is no person involved taking care about it, the forum itself have moderators but as a whole, there is no one. We can say that there are people you make cryptocurrency possible but where are they now, we did not even know who they are, the only thing we are thinking about behind all these is Satoshi Nakamoto. But we cannot find him, yes we can find the wallets he used and that is actually full of bitcoin.  
1199  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Useless projects! on: December 13, 2019, 09:50:43 PM
   Nobody keeps track of useless and failed projects. There are so many of them, that list would be really long I assume,
and someone to keep track of all of them would be a waste of time.
   CoinMarketCap is a good site for that. When you scroll down you will see coin statistic, second one is coin ROI, the approximate return on investment if purchased at the time of launch (or earliest known price), there you can see what
happened with coins since lunch, are they up or down, and how much.
There are actually useless projects since cryptocurrency started and many altcoins arose that time, we can say that it is useless if the value of that particular token in the market stays zero since the beginning or it has a price but eventually it becomes zero and becomes what we all call shit coin. But projects that are deserving because of their good and awesome platform stays in top because many are still supporting them because of what they have done making blockchain technology, or innovating transaction, or making a website that is helpful to a person to earn more money.
1200  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the fate of Scammers if bitcoin later becomes a traceable Currency. on: December 13, 2019, 09:30:18 PM
Many say here that Bitcoin can indeed be tracked for transactions, but it's better if there is a more sophisticated system to find people who commit fraud or take our Bitcoin secretly, for example, their data can be seen or their faces recorded with sensors that are has been prepared with a tool that has been designed. That's just my imagination. Grin
Actually it's possible if you're a pro computer specialist, it's easy for you to trace in the chain network (if it's not designed as decentralized) and breach the computer used for scamming and get the actual photo of that scammer.

Soon, it will be more advanced since cybercrime now is very often and the internet is getting more dangerous than the usual days of browsing.

There will be a time that scammers will be easily tracked once a user reported a case of scam and can be traced quickly to locate the scammer.  Technology is getting more development and one of its features in the future will be its tracking system.  Grin
They can be trace actually, because as far as I know if you reported that particular scammer and proved it to the moderator they can actually ban the account of that particular scammer and they can also give negative trust if the crime is not that big deal but still you scam other people. I can say that they can innovate that kind of technology and can trace any malicious threat in which your money is at stake and can be scam by other people, the only lesson in here is that you should be active or informed in every decision you make before taking any step for you to secure your money.
