I would avoid any investment due to the high volatility crypo has at the moment, but this also means it might be a good moment to risk over altcoins,besides those i wont suggest any other project while there is the big questions over bitcoin.
Why not ? If you are always afraid to make investment better to not do it because you can get nervous and ruined your management so it lead to lose. As altcoin are cheap right now this might be a good chance to buy and sell it when reach higher price. Crypto is one of the best investment that I have known ever in my life. It can give you thousand of dollars to earn but it can also lead you to lose thousands if you are not willing to take the risk then just play safe. Always store your bitcoins at your cold storage and treat holding as your investments but risk is still there. Yes you're right. If you don't have any experience in investing, the best option for you is that hold you bitcoin for a few year and just wait for bitcoin price rising up. It's the safest way. I find it safe but it is still risky if you are that type of person you don't know what to do when you see the price of bitcoin falling. You need to become strofer on those times because even holding is an easy thing it is still risky and you can lose if you loss the patience a holder needs. Despite the fact that the crypto currency is called a very risky investment, I consider this to be the safest and predictable investment. I do not know how you can get losses from investing in crypto currency. Especially if you constantly follow the fluctuations in growth and make purchases and sales at the right time. I would only invest this money in the crypto currency Those that say bitcoin is a very risky investment say that because they think their investment in the forex and the stock market will last forever when in fact those markets are going to crash, we do not know when but it is a certainty that it is going to happen at some point in the future. |

in my country , taxes pay you! but seriously, do you have to pay taxes if you lose too!? I hope not, because I cant afford it  It is better that you consult a tax attorney if you are not sure about it, if you are a small fish the taxman may delay a visit for a while but if you have earned huge amounts of cash then you can be sure they are gunning after you and your profits. |

What do you think about a coin having only 1,000 coins supply? scarcity works? check it out https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2044842.0Token Description Coin Name:Profit 1000 Token Coin symbol: 1000 Coin decimals:18 Total supply:1000 ICO supply : 800 Team hold: 200 Rate : 1 ETH = 4 (Profit 1000 Token) You posted everything except the most important aspect, what is the purpose of yet another coin, if that coin has not a new purpose then it does not matter if there are only 1000 coins of it, or 100 or 10 the value of that coin is going to be very low. |

Ultra rare = Ultra scammy.
Value of them is illusion,if these coins have no good use case.
This, the value of a coin does not come from the price that you see in the screen but from the uses it can have if a coin does not solve any problem then it is simply impossible that the coins are going to gain value in the long term and you may end up as a bag holder. |

Hey guys,
I hope everyone is doing good. This is my portfolio:
Updated portfolio:
25 BTC
230 ETH
500 LTC
500 XMR
250 DASH
1000 ETC
1000 ANS
1000 BLOCK
25000 STORJ
20000 SHIFT
I sold half my DASH and bought LTC, XMR and BLOCK.
What do you guys think? Please share your thoughts with me. Thank you.
You have a good portfolio, if you like the idea of getting higher profits then you could sell some ETH and invest in some ICOs, but your portfolio is fine as it is, just hold and you will enjoy the benefits of having a well diversified portfolio and the safe investments that you have made. |

Those who think it's best to buy NOW should post here that you buy with PROOF. If you don't then you didn't buy because the truth is you yourself is afraid and can't afford to risk even a small amount of Satoshi.  I think it is ridiculous to try to enforce a rule like that since then you will need to ask for those that say they hold to sign a message from an address with their funds and then you will need that those that sell will need to show proof that they sold as well, you will have to trust the words of the people in the forum in this matter. |

If you take the futurist position that world economy growth rate will increase dramatically over the next few decades, then it makes it simpler for Bitcoin to reach $50k.
What I'm interested to see is if multiple cryptocurrencies will hold the bulk of the market cap in 5-10 years (like ETH + BTC today).
Then that view is wrong at this time the speed of growth of developed nations is slowing not accelerating so the growth of bitcoin is even more impressive when you look at it that way since it has grown at an incredible speed when the economies of the world are in a bad shape, can you imagine how much bitcoin will grow if the economy was doing well. |

I think bitcoin price is pumping & dumping at any time it's one of the big disadvantages.
You are wrong. Absolutely Bitcoin price pumps and dumps but just sometimes it go down like the others cryptocurrency. We are investing, that's why we have to choose the best and suitable currency to buy and sell it at the right time to gain more income. The biggest disadvantages of Bitcoin is still a lot country don't accept Bitcoin as a legal money.We can also claim that that is the biggest disadvantage of all the existing currency. Even dollars isn't actually accepted in foreign countries. You still have to convert your dollars, which is quite a famous currency, into their local currency before it gets accepted. I think it's actually an advantage of bitcoin because in the long run, the situation can be changed. Fiat currencies will always be only exclusive for the local people. Like, Yen will always be only used in Japan. In case that Japan conquers another country, there might be a chance that they will start using Yen as well but surely Japan will not conquer the whole world. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is flexible. Bitcoin can become a universal currency because it's not under any government. Bitcoin can be used in Japan, in China, in USA, without any hassle at all. You can use it but at the moment, there's not much merchants accepting it. It's only a matter of time and mass adoption for it to be changed. I think the biggest disadvantage and at the same time advantage of bitcoin is its nature being decentralized. Since the government cannot regulate it, it can be a potential gateway for illegal activities and it also cannot be tracked. Lack of government intervention results to its price being highly volatile but it can also be considered as an advantage for investors. Another thing, one big disadvantage of bitcoin is the accessibility of it to the public. One may require an internet connection to be able to have an opportunity to earn bitcoin but most of the population around the world lives in the poverty area which does not have any access to these. While decentralization has its costs the benefits that it provides are enormous and not to be overlooked, in the past some other payment systems have existed and those were shut down by governments, bitcoin cannot be shutdown all at once because of the great amount of nodes running all the time. |

BTC, the oldest cryptocurrency, is gaining lots of attention, trust and adoption. It is like digital gold and serves well in settlement. ETH is designed for smart contract, and has huge potential and applications. It is very possible that ETH will lead BTC in market cap someday.
No, smart contracts are great and all of that but in my opinion if the purpose is to be a currency then keep it simple do not add another layer of complexity that many people are never going to use so in this case the additional features of ETH are shackles that slow it down so bitcoin is not going to be surpassed by ETH as a currency. |

The significant amount of performance and scalability issue with cryptocurrencies is major concern. Crypto is better than fiat in sense of openness. Once scalability issue is resolved with crypto like bitcoin then there will be no match for bitcoin (other crypto as well).
This, the issue of scalability is the greatest issue for bitcoin if it can get solved then there will be nothing stopping bitcoin to take its rightful place as one of the best currencies in the world and the best when it comes to ownership, since no one can take your coins away from you the way banks can do with fiat. |

Yes better to choose altcoins for trading because you can choose which coin you can buy or sell. And altcoins are easy to get profit especially if you know how to short trade. I've been trading altcoins since 2015 i do only short trade.
What strategy do you use, Fudmental or technical analysis..? Maybe you can share knowledge about how you are trading.. both strategy fundamental and technical analysis is helpful for us to analysis and with botch strategy, we can know almost 85% the coins movement. as long as we want to learn about how to use the analysis, we can mastered it and we can easy to use the strategy. no matter if we are only mastered 1 strategy because we can do many thing to analysis the coins. This is only true if the coin has enough volume if it does not then it is useless to use those tools to try to predict the market since there are pump and dump groups that could very easily change the dynamic of the trade taking place in a coin in a matter of days. |

I don't get the last comparison lol. I can buy literally anything with a Canadian Dollar but I can't buy anything at all with bitcoins where I am. I can buy things online, but so can anyone in the world.
Lol kind of random but by the title I was expecting this to be a graphic post as in blood / gore hahaha.
The op did not made the comparison of fiat vs bitcoin it was bitcoin vs the bolivar, the currency of Venezuela, and in Venezuela things are in a bad shape there are many products that are very scarce in the country and there is a black market for everyday products so I think that is what he is referring. |

Bitcoin, in my opinons has had it up and downs, but who supplies us bitcoin? Faucets can only supply so much before it gets closed down. So that's not a big supplier. Working for bitcoin has declined. I used to make videos and earn bitcoins. But that site has closed down like every other sites or faucets. So who supplies us bitcoins nowadays? Tell us please!
Not sure if you are asking who pays people bitcoins or who produces bitcoins. The latter is a stupid one if you are implying that. Bitcoins are mined, so if you want to get your hands on bitcoins without relying on anyone else then go mine bitcoins yourself. Which is not a good idea at the moment since a few miners have most of the hash rate and it is impossible to go against them due to the high resources they have and the incredible cheap electricity costs they have because most of them are in China and there is no way to compete with them. |

First ,no genuine trader who make good amount of money will never teach anyone about it strategy or knowledge.only some mediocre make some website,blog or give trading signal for money ,they are just luring new traders.best you can do is study yourself and practice by your own,it is difficult and some time you will loss but it will give you an experience to how to handle that situation.
You are absolutely right about your first two sentences. The dude who is teaching me crypto trading doesn't even have the time to forage through blogs and fora. I was a bit surprised when I discovered he doesn't have a knowledge of the existence of bitcointalk forum. Most people who brandish one winning formula or the other online are charlatans looking for who to scam. Correct those that have found a way to earn profits consistently by trading are not going to reveal their secrets or even announce that they have secrets in the first place, it is similar to those that sell methods to make money and promise huge earnings and they sell the method for a few bucks. |

So you believe that everyone is a billionaire in this world and people are billionaires are just gonna invest all their wealth in bitcoin. All stupid questions most of you ask and don't worry about this crash all you coins will rise now don't always panic when a crash happens sometimes crash is good for the market
Yeah, people worry to much about crashes but the truth is that if you take that as an opportunity to buy even more bitcoin at a cheaper price then you can easily multiply the amount of bitcoin you hold at a faster rate than if the price just went up all the time. |

There could be many reasons for that but I think most people misunderstand the meaning behind it, bitcoin is an open source project anyone can see the code, so the identity of satoshi while it is a great mystery is completely irrelevant, not only he created a trustless coin, he was a leader we did not needed to trust either.

SONM was an ICO in which I was interested to get in but I did not, however to my surprise when I checked SONM in coinmarketcap.com I see the price of the coin has plummeted, what happened? Why? And what was the ICO price of the coin? This to get a better understanding of the dump.

To be honest I do not know if that is a good news, there are not going to be many investors that will want to buy the coins and even if there are your gains are simply not going to be as big as they could be if the project started small and then grew. |

Yes your are absolutely right; and that is so sad - That people don't understand the value of the currency they support.
Is it better to have a few coins with a higher percentage of overall ownership - like the Winklevoss twins who own 1% of all Bitcoins, or lots of coins with very small percentage of ownership?
I own more FootyCash coins with a higher ownership percentage than any other altcoin I invested in.
There is a cap of 84 Million coin on LTC (Litecoin). I owned 2000 LTC that I paid $100 USD for back in 2012 - A few months later my 2000 LTC were worth approx $80,000 - $120,000 USD (when LTC went to $60). I only owned a small percentage of overall LTC.
Now one month ago I found a better deal - There is a cap of only 4 Million FootyCash. Footy was worth a fraction of a penny when I bought into it 30 days ago - It's now worth approx $0.10 USD. The point is that I now own a MUCH larger percentage of FootyCash than I did with LTC - enough to temporarily impact the market If I wanted to.
Now I have money AND power.
Being a whale comes with its own problems as well, now you can manipulate the market in which you are in and if you make a bad move you could crash the market also it is more difficult to get out if the coin begins to fail so be careful. |

Many places and options we can use to invest our bitcoin in, for example is a lending site like btcjam or poloniex. I've joined the two sites and all proved to pay well.
Poloniex exists in the rating of a very good vampire trade. Reality for today is precisely poloniex and bittrex holds the leadership among the trading exchanges. New Year with what means to share with them it seems to me teeth are superfluous opinion. I would not leave my coins in control of another resource. At this point in time it is a bad idea to let your coins in an exchange but if you want to trade for other coins especially coins that are not very well known then you need to use an exchange, I would like for things to be different but that is the way things work at the moment. |
