I think that we`ll need more time to give any conclusion. Yes, the price grows up significantly in short period but it could goes down the same way that it had grows. At the end, we have seen, better said experienced concrete downfall in short time frame.
It was good moment to buy some of the coins, maybe it still is..

There is no way to eliminate emotions except maybe by using some medicaments, which is ridiculous and unacceptable. You can only control them to one point. There will be days when we are crazy, nervous etc, for no particular reason and it is THE test for control of the emotions. I am very calm and reasonable person by nature and I have massive problem to control my self when I fell very nervous. Only thing that gave result is to quite the thing that I am doing (trading for example) and to do something that will bring balance to my psychological and emotional condition.

To repeat: There will be days when you are totally helpless trying to calm down and, by my opinion, only good choice is to quit on hour, two,five hours... entire day if necessary, because it is not your day. As soon as people realize that, positive things will happen in their trading routine.

Pity it is. I sold all my coins just before ATH because I needed some cash and it happened to be great move by the coincidence. Also some of my friends bought at that moment and what can I say... But I don't see them complaining about the situation, they believe that everything will settle just fine in the future. I don't know how honest they are because it is beyond the peaceful situation. Waiting is the hardest thing to do, I wouldn't like to be in their skin.

Well, if you hold so far you should continue to do so. And again it depends on how much did you invest and when. If you entered on market last December than you should hold, the loss is pretty big, there's no point to quite now. If you buy this year on summer time, it would not be such a shame to cut down your loss, it wouldn't be very big. Generally, taking present situation condition, we are experiencing price growth and maybe it is not bad decision to hold for now.

I would say that it is right time. We can see that in last 20, 24 hours bitcoin price jumped from 32xx to 35xx in its price, it's on 8% growth so we could assume that the moment is right. On the other hand we have also seen that it could easily  go down in a matter of hours. Maybe the best tactic is to buy and if it start to go down, sell and wait for another so called good moment.

We all are impatient and waiting for better days for crypto market. Our investments are on the test, also our patient but it doesn't mean that next year will necessarily be the period that we are waiting for. I  do hope so but we don't have to be specifically attached on the 2019 as a bull run period. It will be enough just to meet that moment.

Based on my experience, people that are open-minded for new stuff will gain knowledge, get familiar with new technology. Also based on my experience from my environment, there are no great number of people that are interested for such a knowledge so my conclusion is that selfishness has almost nothing to do with it. Off course I don't know if and how selfish people can be about spreading knowledge about blockchain technology, I just assume that there is no good reason for that, but okay, who knows. Maybe there are that kind of persons.
Personally, I am always informing people that I am in contact with about bitcoin and blockchain technology. I don't care to much if it is for the better good of community. As a potential revolutionary thing, sooner or later everybody are going to be part of crypto community and blockchain technology and if that's so it's better to be there sooner than later.

It is obviously that ship is sinking when it is sinking, there's no doubt about that, which we can not say about crypto market with certain accuracy. Situation is pretty unpleasant but I think that It still isn't time for the alarm. Advice should be to follow your instinct and to calculate what is the best choice for you personally, what would exit bring or mean to you and what would staying and waiting for better days.

I believe in history repetition, that this ups and downs are just a part of a cycles. The problem that I have is struggling with basic life needs, I still don't have enough funds to invest as much as I would like to and I really hope that I will be able to buy and storage some amount. I wouldn't like to be just a bystander and watch how things are going great and I am not part of it.

 I am not with you but not because I have something against but because I feel different. There will be Christmas gifts but I hope that there will be money for bitcoin too. Only thing that could change my mind would be some crazy price jump that I wouldn't like to miss.

I don't know, after last December everything that we got was downfall of the price. I also don't know what effect Christmas could have on the market but i do know that there are lots of predictions and some of them are accurate and some are complete failure. The problem is that we can not know who is right and who is wrong. I only hope that everything will be opposite than it was after last December. Good direction opposite.

I can see pessimistic AND optimistic comments about bitcoin price and its future. I believe that point of complete quitting is individual and varying from person to person. I do not think about quitting too even if bitcoin price goes under four digits. From financial point of view, three digit value could mean that it is really good moment for more investment.

It is logical for people to have bigger expectations for crypto since this year was pretty stressful for all of crypto coin holders. We all want to forget 2018. It doesn't mean necessarily that next year will bring  bright moments for crypto but I really hope that near future will. I am waiting for that to happen and I am not attach for 2019 specifically but I would be very happy if that happens. I don't even want to think about getting worse but if that happens I am ready to wait more for better times to come.

I love to think that it is always good to spread the assets and buy both. But if I have to choose it would be bitcoin. Ten thousand dollars is great amount of cash for me, I wouldn't have courage to invest in IOTA even with knowledge about how good and quality coin it is. Bitcoin have a history, and by my opinion have a future too. I would feel much more calm with it in my wallet.

Fist things first. You have to get familiar with matter before you decide to invest, otherwise it is almost certain way to doom. It`s how it works in all fields, not just in crypto market trade. Theoretical and practical knowledge need to go together in order to gain required skills. Without that it really is gambling.
Even the most experienced and educated traders can not be always sure that have made good investment. Unpredictable things could happen, that are out of our control no matter what analyzes we relies on, it became wrong investment and loss of funds is inevitable.
The worst thin is to lose hard earned money, it hurts the most. People should be very careful with managing it.

What is much for one person is less for another, again matter of perspective. But we can not argue about lack of funds for elementary life needs; food, place to live, bills... There is so many different life conditions and life stories in the world today that makes you hard to define the boundaries between being rich, poor and being some middle class.

The richest person is one that is healthy. You all probably caught yourself how desperate you are when you have a simple flu. Only thing that you want in that moment is to get better like, immediately. But to be as healthy as you can you need cash cause it makes it much easier, much achievable. Minimum amount that can help me to stay healthy and remain so is a bottom line for me between being poor and not being poor.

Ten thousand is not small amount to invest and you should make your decision wisely. Expectations of making 10× profit in two years is very optimistic but at the end, who knows. It might happen. I have to say that you need to be ready for bad scenario and loss of funds too because we all have seen what can happen in crypto market.
Despite the fact that some of the alt coins could make great profit I personally would  invest in Bitcoin and Ethereum. I feel much secure with those two. And leave some small amount out of that 10k for investing in alts, thousand dollars for example cause, you never know. You might hit the jackpot.

People are trying to find a way to enlarge their income, to find a way to became rich. I think that majority of all that are involved in bitcoin have faith, want to believe that bitcoin will open a chance for them to succeed and reach their goal, looking from financial aspect. Smaller part of community really believe in blockchain technology and all the benefits that it carries with itself.

First of all, I don't think that Satoshi is a real creator of bitcoin, I prefer to think that it was someone else,
Like some 'government from the shadow'  project. That's why I would send nothing to someone that claims that he is Satoshi.
Second of all, I really have a problem to believe that behind validate addressee is really that someone that claims he is. I am skeptical because there is so many ways to  be cheated online today. That's practical approach. In theory, I would be sad if I would miss the opportunity to help someone that technically helped me to make some profit...

If I have to decide ... I wouldn't send any coin on that particular reason...

It looks like its bad idea to hold bitcoin at this moment.
There are people who will hold no mater what, that`s their point of view, people that have already withdraw and will never get into this story again etc. Believing in project or in its price recovery will determine a reaction of a `Holder`. The way that someone get in possession of a coin or amount of it is also important. For example, my friend got a bitcoin instead of dollars from his friend. Didn`t have other way to pay him because was out of the country and send him BTC. The price was 300 dollars. My friend didn`t sold it at 20 000 and didn`t sell it now, he still have that one coin. He feel sorry for not sell it on 20 thousand but he will definitely not going to sell it now. Everything is matter of perspective  of an individual or personal experience.
I am holding some amount of bitcoin that I dedicated for holding on long therm purpose. It can`t hurt me, financially speaking, so I will keep it and wait for better days to came.
