The word itself means that it is not 100% accurate so nobody should think of it as anything different. People that haven't read, listen and track all that for a certain amount of time can not know that the predictions should not take for serious, no matter who is behind it.  They could be valuable source of information. The problem is that people, especially in this situation when things are not going well, are attache for good possible outcomes because they need to hear good news, to see the light at the end of tunnel. Their investment is on the stake.

This doesn't need to mean anything but I like the look of this pattern. Makes me believe that this trend will keep on and that we will experience new ATH at some point. Maybe not this year but in near future, 2020 for example.

If I have an extra cash at this moment I would definitely buy bitcoin for the current  price. I think that this might be a good opportunity for investing, it looks like the price stabilized, more or less, and I would definitely try to catch the uprising trend. Maybe it would be mistake, maybe the price will continue to fall but looking on long term condition, it would be great thing to buy now and meet  its ATH again.

As much as I read predictions I come on conclusion that no one can predict, especially those which predictions we can find and read. Some of those will be accurate and some will not, and all of those have reasonable explanations behind it. There will always be those who are for and those who are con. You just don`t know who to listen...
Huge sum of money request serious analyze, I just hope that you haven`t invested in the period of creation of this thread.

Those security breaches are problem for all the crypto, bitcoin users, if there is no good protection you could lose interest on being involved in it.
Developing improved security systems is important for users but hackers will not sleep either. It is the never ending battle between those two...

2018 had a two half times for me. In firs six month I haven`t been active at all and was activated in second six month period. Overall it wasn`t been stressful for me but I do have some savings that I would like to grow up in the future. Doesn`t need to be in this year period but surely it would be nice if it does.

Happy new year everybody  

I haven't invested large and that's why my confidence is intact. If there was other way around I would be concerned. Since this is not the first time that market suffers this kind a trend and after while it goes around again, I feel pretty relaxed. I have a regular job, working for salary and have a space to keep my coins. Once a while a have a urge to sell my coins to take care of some life needs but now is no good time for that. Also I am gaining some more coins from bounty campaigns and making my stash larger.

I think that we all here have same wish and that`s the recovery of the market. Since this year wasn`t the best for crypto community I think that we all would like a fresh start: new year, new beginning. I would like for my wish to come true, to see ATH and that`s collective wish of probably millions of crypto user. That means that we have a chance for our wishes to come true. Together we are stronger

I wouldn't invest all my savings in crypto. I don't like to get in position to invest all my savings but that's why I am not wealthy and second reason is my character, approach that I have is safety first and that's why I can never win big.
If you want to invest in something, you will need to do research about that area as good as you can, to get the picture of it, that's how you will be able to manage good your investment. It is hard to proper investigate crypto market and its future so practically there is no good advice that you can get from anyone. Get informed and make or don't make a move. Only good thing is that, if the price drops, you will not lose all your savings, there will still  be funds that is left.

Both things are possible to happen. In my opinion, government will most certainly create( if they already haven't) coin, their coin, that will be fully acceptable as paying method.
And you are kinda right about alts, lots of them might be or are scams or projects that are not good enough. Those have no bright future.
Losing faith is logical for those who look on bitcoin and other crypto currency  as short term investment and I am sure that there are lots of them out there.

Xaxa, this is great. Only logical thing, like in those mind games, find the missing item, number.... Makes me want to invest more than already have.
Putting money in bitcoin surely can be promising long term investment. People just shouldn't be completely rely on that, as a only solution for the future. Maybe things could somehow goes wrong and you wouldn't like to have all savings invested on one place. Spread proportionally by your own regime.

I don't see the reason why you shouldn't stay with ethereum. For me both are equally good choice. I just love bitcoin more but I have some savings in ether too. As you wrote, great number of coins experienced solid price growth, 80% for ETH, more than bitcoin at this moment. Maybe one more reason to stick with it. Maybe will keep that trend.

Good story. In case that it is true one, I would suggest to reconsider good before you invest all your student savings on that coin, any coin. I  am not sure that investing all you have is smart idea. Just in case that things are not going as you expected to. You are gambling to much with this kind of approach.  

I think that investors might get into the game looking for profit that goes beyond 100% and even more. It might happen again so I am not sure that bitcoin is dead yet. But I do agree with you that in the future, government stable coins with dollar approximate value will be used. For me that's only logical to happen.

When I remember how last year looks like I can only agree with this gentleman. Holding on long term worked great for those who entered early. It wouldn't be first time that market completely recovered so, from angle of investment, there is no bad time to enter crypto market. Except when buying at its ATH. That's bad moment. On the other hand, we might experience some new moments, where price continues to falls or fully  stabilize. We can never be sure, never can know. We can only believe. I believe and I am staying with crypto.

I have few plans that could help me to survive but I hope that I will achieve something bigger with some help of the crypto market. If the price of the coins that I hold reach great point in price it would be best case scenario, maybe I wouldn`t have to survive only, but to live normal life. I just hope that the the world will be peaceful place in 2030, lot of things could happen till then.

It sure would make life easier to the people but I am not sure that banks will give up of influence and power that they have. More likely banks will find the way to somehow control everything behind paying system, money transfer system in the future too. Blockchain or something new, it will have to pass their scan and approval before it gets to your hands.

To be honest, I`we heard that many times, actually read about it many times. I also read opposite news and predictions and that should show how correct and incorrect those news can be. Predictions with adequate explanation are useful, but in my opinion, only in creation of personal view of bitcoin itself, but we shouldn`t  pay attention on those too much.
I can`t help you with site that have all those news collected on one place but I am sure that with simple search on some net browser you could find as much as you want, news about soon death of the bitcoin

Might happen, why not. It wouldn't first time. As you mentioned technology progress always brings innovation with it. Or it could be better, easy to use project that could replace the previous. MySpace was the hit but very soon Facebook took its place and absolute dominance as social society network...

Off course that we have to be ready for worst case scenario. Investing in any field brings certain risk and things could go wrong or simply not developing the way that you thought that will. Same is with crypto currency investment. Especially because we have seen and experienced bad trend and we are still in it.
I wouldn't speculate with prices, I just believe that at some point price of bitcoin will start to grow, moving forward to its best days.

Something that we can not control at all, if this things are truly happening. But this could look like pure speculation, even you who provided this info can not be positively sure about it unless you are not one of those whales
I wouldn`t be surprised at all by nothing that is going on in crypto market but I really want to believe that this scenario won`t happen. I am expecting some income in ETH, you know, it would personally hurt me..
