How much of that currency can purchase a ounze of Gold? Most of these came due to greediness of politicians, they thought they could get easier way to carry their fund around in a smaller package, they gradually put too much fund in circulation with extravagant lifestyle. there-bye increasing the money in circulation and purchasing power reduces. Bitcoin cant always rescue such incompetence and no simple way of handling inflation.

Am addressing this OP's opinion, I might not quote it

Investing in cryptocurrency might require high fund but trading cryptocurrency does not necessarily require high fund. Although bitcoin may look high price to venture into, thats why satoshi can take go round as individual can acquire.Solving Inflation goes beyond the adoption of dollar to settle the economic situation, government do more into production, international exchange, corruption and other economic management policies.

the idea about softcap is the smallest fund that is capable of starting a project, what have they done with the fund raised so far?  They raised some fund on the webpage as well and i except information on it on their website, They should be transparent enough with the fund. They should give roadmap at least for the year, comparing other group to theirs they look quiet and redundant. The space is competitive for fund, only the efficient ones can win the interest of investors.

It could be hasty to approve that altcoin provides more long term profits, you can make profit but not long term. Generally cryptocurrency give long term profit but altcoins pose as a risky venture especially with advent of ICO and IEO,  that fund teams that are not reliable and capable. They have no plan to execute project, they over value project and run away with fund at the end of crowdsale. They reward all existing venture that gave approval, publicise and brought them investors. I think regulation especially in crowdfund will help altcoins

The choice of altcoins will come from project with high marketcap and longer year of launch for the first part of the year. They already have big community and experienced team with accrued money from bull market. They are listed on the top exchanges and coin is sparsely dispersed. Used case might not be as important considering the coin like ETC. Tezos is more in the news and could bring good profit also. we could look for exchange coin but cant say anything about anonymous coin this year.

The regulation does not protect everyone in the space as it ought to, the organization that took it upon itself to collect date recently should be scrutinized very well. No one can be trusted even the Government with personal data, we have bridge with personal interest even by the president of United state but there is nothing we can do about it now. Decline in decentralized exchanges, exchanges closing unverified accounts and ICO requesting for KYC

Some believed the bull market had started since 2019, I want to assume the $6000 that was hard to break prove the short bull run and was only for bitcoin. The rally because of the halving will also help break another resistance maybe above the ATH while we sail toward the parabolic run where all altcoin and bitcoin will move at the same time before the downward trend. we might need to learn and choose the right strategy with each phase to benefit from it.

There are some things that does not look too right from my angle especially with the trade but we are not meant to complain with our kind of boss. He said he is following the roadmap and lets see how it goes. There is nothing to gain if the project didn't succeed, lets keep our fingers cross.

Another breakthrough might be to reach the ICO price and probably hit the ATH. It could be easy if the rally starts for any altcoin now couple with the rally that will come from bitcoin in later weeks. The interest will come from the awareness projects are making in the market with the delivery of milestone according to roadmap this year. Exchanges are capable do more as well with projects that have maintained a good liquidity even in the bear market. It is now obvious every part of the space was manipulated in the bear market.

most people dont expect the price of altcoins to go up this year, everyone's eye is fixed on bitcoin but I have always expected surprises in cryptocurrency, it is not meant to be totally predictable. I expect some new idea in the project, those altcoins in the rally are not new coins and are doing very well against bitcoin itself. People will be tempted to buy some altcoins with their bitcoin and fiat to raise more bitcoin. It is a progression and we need to be rightly position to benefit from it.

Dont let compare with 2017, maybe 2016. Its still a long road for the rally. Those stored bitcoin will be released gradually to bring people to the altcoins, which bigger fund come in through. It is not a year thing before the bull, it is a steady move and some coin will develop with it and bring good profit to investors. I dont think there is way to handle the parabolic market surge by the whole market but project teams will take their lesson from binance and take profit for the project as well.

We will see more cases in coming months for different coins, just a signal to the arrival of the altcoins season. If one had it and sold at the pump  at 3x, your own side of the story will be different for those left out and felt its a drama. Am sure some made a big profit and some lost, buying when it was going up as usual. Is time to sort the market and get good altcoins, Do few flipping in the market as we accrue more bitcoin and bring fund from new investors to the space, those who want to buy new bitcoin

Wright is a clown and every of his next claims should be disregarded, He is just looking for very cheap publicity and had enjoy a long ride of it. He provides addresses that is already known, he cant even access any of those addresses. Sometimes I think If I was in his shoe will I really reveal those accounts, In another way all of those addresses are watched closely in case anyone accesses it.

Bitcoin maximalist are so positive of price rally this year especially with the approaching halving. The space is achieving newer prices as weeks passes and the social media forum and other groups are very active, its a good sign. For the serious projects in 2019 that engage in the fundamentals that will help development, liquidity, regulation and good exchange listing, they are likely to attract more fund in the year and bring profit/confidence to investors.

The $5000 prediction had been on till the price surge again, I am not saying the surge is a factor to prevent the dump but we sometimes look beyond the graphs and tech analyses. We are no more in the bear market and waiting for the dump before you buy is not the best advice. Sometimes you buy when the price is going up and sell when the price is coming down, the decision is with experience.

This happened this time last year when every altcoin holders were moving into bitcoin but do you think this will happen this year? Most altcoins are not in weak hands. Some people are buying these altcoins, especially the good ones and they are not fools. Exchanges are the top altcoin manipulators and they will come in good time. I dont know when but cryptocurrency space is not always that predictable as you think.

Confidence without knowledge is stupidity. Smiling after so much loss then he got himself hypertensive and everyone gets to know later. The day-trading is usually stressful with lot of loss. Experience ones usually advice a long term investment but they usually choose less risk projects, project from there region. For Americans they invest more in their projects where they have already met the teams. Device your choice base on your risk management

Have been trying not to choose side with btc/eth tussle. however, i wont ever put bitcoin over ethereum. Ethereum is great project and a lot of distraction is on the media to engage every financial resource in the space to bitcoin whereas when the money comes to ethereum the same people want to get the best of it. We just need to be smart. Ethereum is planning to put everything together to make the ethereum 2. a success this year, It is important that the coin is relevant while the market drive and that coin is so important for altcoins. Anyone holding altcoins and is against ethereum has misplace his/her interest.

XRP still look over-rated this year and he got worse prediction have seen with top project on the CMC. I will stick bitcoin and ethereum, my decision on ethereum is base on the large community and recent development. If this 2 can give a good profit this year then altcoin can have its season along with ethereum but the risk with most altcoins is very high now.
