I believe that it is still possible to make great profits by investing in bitcoin and for those who are not certain and confidence enough to come to the same conclusion my advice is to learn the bitcoin market before taking a diction to leave it because we are in a rare era where bitcoin is alive and expanding and increasing its demand every day so I hope most will gain benefit from it but to do that confidence is a must to invest and to hodl  without changing the mind and that comes through learning and understanding    

There is no doubt that for anyone who are smart enough to make a bitcoin investment can gain a good return and that investment will help for bitcoin in short term because someone purchasing bitcoin means it is gaining demand over other investments but what many experts argue is will it be enough for bitcoin to expand more into the world because if the only people who use bitcoin are traders how can it expand among others who seek reliable and easy payment currencies to do there work so the path should be change at least for some extend according to my understanding

Purchasing power does get effected by the outside world most of the time but there is more to it and what I see our crypto community members have a huge problem with making decision according to the outside world events because most investor has no idea to clearly understand between a false new and a right one when they are making a decision so most traders do panic selling without thinking twice and we should understand that we can only change the outside world for some extend but the most effective one will be to change the mind set who are already in the crypto world so bad effects that comes from outside world can be reduced or eliminated

If there is a process that continues using IT systems I think most likely it is eligible to use blockchain technology because what ever the industry or the business and what kind of working environment blockchain technology can be used to make there activities more effective with minimum effort because unlike other technologies its adaptability into systems is very high so any work can be done perfectly with the help of blockchain technology by integrating many systems under one network

Market manipulation is very high in the bitcoin market and I totally agree with that but the only way to stop that is by making the crypto community more aware regarding this situation and other than that i doubt that we can do anything effective to eliminate manipulation because unlike other asset bitcoin is a totally decentralized asset in the digital world so it is possible for anyone who is strong enough and has the influence to make a considerable damage for the bitcoin price and the market but if we make the rest of people aware and keep ready understand such events and face them at least the damage can be reduced

Demand fr bitcoin is decided upon its popularity and also bitcoin is becoming more popular means it is becoming more useful for anyone in the world  and that can be only gain by adapting into businesses and other essential processes in business and general areas so the number of users will increase and with that its demand will increase

Of course Blockchain is a general tool in the technical industry which can be adapted to anything or any industry but it should be decided by main stakeholders or relevant people whether they want to make progress by using advanced technology or do the same thing like they were doing in past years but who ever used blockchain technology so far got improved there businesses by increasing more profits

Panic selling has made a huge impact in bitcoin prices in the market when considering past several years and unlike any other investing field we can see many investors who take decisions to sell or purchase by looking at the trend or following false news which are broad casted through media organizations but directly or indirectly that has made bitcoin market volatile unlike other markets 

Bitcoin has attracted huge amount of investors and traders in the world and its price and volatility are the main reasons it has become an investment rather than a good currency but  this can make a huge negative impact on bitcoins vision because as the first cryptocurrency its main purpose was to become a widely used digital currency for financial purposes among general public and business entrepreneurs but not a investment asset so if many users continue to use bitcoin as an asset it can prevent its progress in the business to use as a currency

What you have mentioned is happening right now in the crypto market using bitcoin but mainly it is used as a investment asset which is in the above terms as a digital gold but according to my understanding this can make a huge negative impact on bitcoins future because as the first digital currency its main intention was to become a global currency but not an asset so if many users continue to use bitcoin as an asset it can prevent its progress in the business to use as a currency

Bitcoins is a profitable investment without a doubt and even some investors doesn't like bitcoins high volatility I believe that is the main reason and the quality of bitcoin that makes it the best investment asset because its higher volatility is the main reason some traders frequently do trading by using bitcoin in the crypto market with higher profit margins but in order to make gains the investor should do right investments or otherwise it can be a loss 

You wont agree with me but I believe bitcoin is digital gold because of below reasons,

1. Gold is unique and we don't see other metals with same properties like gold and bitcoin is unique too because its demand, popularity and mainly because it is the first of its kind
2. Like gold is valuable among other metals  Bitcoin is the most valuable digital asset I see among other cryptos in today crypto world
3. Gold is a standard or for most fiat currencies and bitcoin is a standard for most digital currencies that is why most financial experts predict the future prices of cryptocurrencies by considering bitcoin status
4. Because gold is hard to buy it is known as a symbol and also for many people in the crypto bitcoin is a symbol of victory because it is the kind of cryptos
5. Any one who knows how valuable gold is main idea is to collect as much as they can and in the crypto world most investors and traders main mission is to collect bitcoin as much as they can for there future to take profits and that is why even most traders do invest in altcoins at the end they end up in selling them to buy more and more bitcoins


Because of the above I think we can consider bitcoin as digital gold but some may have different ideas and I respect them because it is against the bitcoins vision which is to become a global digital currency and not digital gold but the reality is very different at the moment  

First I too believe bitcoin is an investment but many people who invested and lost there money claim that bitcoin investment is another way of gambling because they think they cannot recover there lost money which is not true at all. One main difference between a gambling and a bitcoin investment is when you put money into a gambling there are only two out comes one is win and the other one is loose all the money because the opponent party take them all but in bitcoin investments you still have the invested tokens so the investor doesn't loose everything and that is why there is still possibility to  recover the lost investments

Well these are some significant reasons that I think bitcoin price to fall or rise,


  First things first we need to understand about bitcoin and unlike other centralized currencies it has nothing to do with a centralized authority so there is no any major organization to make a considerable impact on bitcoin price but due to it's decentralized nature its price mainly depends on its users demands towards bitcoin so according to there actions which are buying and selling there can be a huge price variation so when large amount starts to sell eventually the price will fall and when investors starts to buy with increase of demand the price will rice. 
Now some might think considering above predicting it's prices is closer to impossible but you can do that to some extend.


Reasons to rise or fall

1. When there is a big price increase most holders will start to sell there tokens to gain more profits and that is the reason we see a huge price fall after an price increase and when the price is too low we can expect the same thing most of the time.

2. Media - Even in this forum I came across a thread regarding a topic on how media is biased towards bad news about bitcoin and crypto and i believe it is true and when there is a news broadcast about bitcoin depending on its significance impact type we can expect bitcoin price to fall or rise.

3. Fear of the share market and other major investment options - This might happen and many sources and experts on the Internet has address regarding this matter and that is when there is a uncertainty in other investment options mainly in share market because investors seek alternative options there can be a major increase in the bitcoin price due to increase of bitcoin investments



 

I agree with you and what you have mentioned is correct but the main question should be not "why do we need to regulate digital money" but "How we should regulate digital money" because majority of token holders wants to see digital currencies getting regulate but the difficult part is to make it happen   

Blockchain technology really not that necessary for any field unless you want to make a radical change for the betterment of that field and the people who are involved with it because like blockchain in bad hands can do many harm in good hand it can do miracles and I know this because I have involved with so many ICO programs related to health care sector which are specially dedicated to develop health data management  and other essential tasks in order to treat patients in a better way which is some thing was doing without blockchain technology in the past but such progress was possible in a short period was thanks to blockchain technology . So yes blockchain technology is not essential for any field but to develop and do miracles blockchain technology can help us immensely

Great information but what i think bitcoin haven't transform the digital world at least a considerable percentage but it will do that in the future

Still we use bitcoin as a investment options and even many discus in this forum about miracles that can be done with it as a currency majority of bitcoin users haven't even though about it so many potential qualities in bitcoin concept are wasted among greedy investors and traders but the trend is changing in the crypto world specially it started to change in this year with bitcoin into business adaptation and we heard many people consider that bitcoin should use as a digital currency if we are going to make a change so its journey to change the digital world just started so there are much to come

Most traders and investors want others to sell there tokens in a lower price so they can buy and become rich alone because doesn't matter how bigger the lies that are spread among communities saying that bitcoin is crashing and it has come to an end most experienced traders still keep holding there currencies because they know it has a bright future and nothing is perfect in the financial world so everything has its ups and downs and bitcoin have them too so we should be patient and brave if we really need to be successful at the end

It is not that is easy as we say but I think we can do tht by making bitcoin more demanding than today and for that bitcoin it self should be improved and developed by targeting important areas that any major demanding currency has achieved so far in the world because to become a demanding currency and an investment asset people should have the confidence to trust bitcoin over other major fiat currencies or cryptocurrencies and so far the dollar is know as the most demanding fiat currency in the world which uses for any international payment so if bitcoin to take that place it should be improved and develop by focusing significant areas to compete with major fiat currencies

If we are going to make bitcoin more demanding according to my understanding bitcoin it self should be improved and developed by targeting important areas that any major demanding currency has achieved so far in the world because to become a demanding currency and an investment asset people should have the confidence to trust bitcoin over other major fiat currencies or cryptocurrencies and so far the dollar is know as the most demanding fiat currency in the world which uses for any international payment so if bitcoin to take that place it should be improved and develop more than the dollar
