Thanks for the read offered some useful insight, enjoyed my cup of coffee over it

The only thing that makes bitcoin price crash is that if there is a lot of negative news that has been going on the market. You will see a lot of negative press, and some investors reads it, they then will simply sold their coins and then other follow suit making the price plummet to the floor. There are a lot of FUD waves here, so be careful and not listen to them because they cause panic and most that are affected are newbies.

You can't print paper money without the specific material to do it... Cryptocurrency is a whole new revolution!

Any volunteers want to update thread with # count CHANGES either monthly or quarterly? Feel free to do so. As I believe the above is for all-time. And it would be more useful for us to see ranking from the month from 9/27/2017 to 10/27/2017.ie subtract above from new total. Its annoying work.

Also please share if you have opinion on any of these threads:
