Everyone knows you shouldn't be jumping on the train once there's already a hype. If you choose to buy or invest by December 2017, you're obviously too late. That's the mistake of many. Back when bitcoin suddenly became famous due to its massive price increase, many hopped on with the hopes of profiting. To their dismay, the price of bitcoin continued to fall after it reached its peak last December. But for those who were early in the game and hodled way before 2017, I'm sure they profited handsomely -- even tenfold of their initial investment.

HOLDING isn't a scam. Some people just hodled at the wrong time.

It's quite possible that the market had a correction so it fell to $3800 again. Even while it's no longer bearish as before, we may not be entering a bull stage as early as now. It may be a while before we break throung $4700 and experience steady levels above $4K. There's still some resistance as we can see that the price still falls. I just bet that many are happy with how the price levels are right now as they are anticipating for a bull run soon. Even without an upcoming positive announcement, we can expect a difference in the price trend now.

Investments are surely different from the lottery, I don't think that they're comparable. When you buy a lottery ticket, there's only a 0.1324...% chance for you to win, but when you invest it's guaranteed that you make a gain.. or a loss. The only question is which of the two. There's a chance for you to lose in both but what I'm saying is it's more likely for you to lose in the lottery. If you were to compute the probability of winning the lotto, you won't even have 1%. And even if you try all the combinations possible in the lottery, the winnings won't even compensate for the amount you spend for every ticket.

I suggest to invest in other things, not only crypto. You should diversify your portfolio.

What makes you say that it's going to be a stable coin for sure Just because it's affiliated with Facebook, it doesn't mean that its success is guaranteed. Sure, more investors may be interested in it due to the popularity of facebook but this does not mean that the coin itself will be stable. I have to agree with the irony, its funny that facebook was so against with crypto before, and then they decide to create a coin now. People can change sides so easily when it benefits them.

There are some cases where the government takes advantages of new businesses. While they make regulations, they are able to generate income by imposing taxes. It may be a win-win type of situation where businesses will benefit from the protection they get but most of the time they are exploited by these corrupt politicians. What's even sad is its hard for small business enterprises to put up a business without being given the opportunity to avail of loans or govt subsidies because of their small capacity. They then resolve to loan sharks where interest rates are ridiculously high. The government should consider even the small business owners.

Actually there ARE special computer from different purposes such as a gaming laptop or a work laptop (IMO a Macbook or pro may be considered as a good work laptop) but when it comes to trading, I think that any laptop or desktop would do so long as it has a good screen and battery life. Don't use one that lags easily or crashes because you'll surely get frustrated or may even lose your information. Security really is important and if you know how to use a VPN, that would be preferable since the information becomes encrypted.

Gold practically has no use except for to accessorize. IMO, gold is not such a good investment unlike many believe it to be. Back when there were not much to invest in, gold was probably one of the few options to choose from. Plus considering the fact that it was used as a medium for exchange, people must have saved up on it because of it's increasing value. But I bet it had increasing value then because of its use, but now since it's not used as much nor is it as rare to find, it may not make much of a good investment nor will it's value increase as significantly as before.

That's cool. In my country, there's no service yet such as yours where you can purchase and have food delivered thru the payment of BTC but we have a local wallet provider which allows you to pay your shopping online with BTC.



Basically you pay the third party online payment service with your wallet and your BTC is automatically converted into fiat upon payment but it's pretty convenient. They provide a bunch of other services so you can pay your bills online, buy load for your network, or transfer directly to your bank account (but in fiat of course). I find it really convenient and many people from my country use this platform, even for those who don't own BTC or any crypto.

Yes, well, I guess it's the convenience which makes online gambling better than gambling in actual casinos. You won't even have to dress up since you're playing in the comfort of your own home. Also, you won't have to deal with mingling with other players unlike when you're at an actual casino where numerous people may bother you (this is especially convenient for introverts who like to gamble but don't like having to deal with strangers). You can save more by gambling online because you won't have to spend on transportation or gas, or spend on other unwanted/unexpected expenses such as food or drinks.

It goes to show how some news sites have nothing better to feature anymore or are just desperate for the views by twisting the headlines. People like to hype over simple news such as these. Even when there's hardly any bearing, people like to assume that predictions such as these would make a difference. Or its possible that people are trying to create a hype even with nonsensical and baseless news such as this to somehow affect the price. People would grasp on to any positive news with the hope that it will generate enough positivism to allegedly have some effect on the price. But personally, I don't think that news like this should be news at all.

I don't think that having the Bitcoin symbol in iOS would signify that there is worldwide adaptation, but instead that people know about it enough for Apple to add it. Honestly, there's a lot of symbols that people hardly ever use on a daily basis but I think that having a bitcoin symbol would allow crypto users who are apple product users as well to utilize it or just simply have fun with it. Perhaps the recent hype over it last 2017 has contributed to this.

Everyone's excited for when the time will come that cryptocurrency becomes widely accepted by all companies. We really can't expect for many merchant vendors to accept bitcoin all of a sudden. They have to consider first how adding crypto as a payment method may either benefit or harm them. Also, not many people use bitcoin/crypto for spending. Most crypto users either use them for trading or for hodling, but not for spending. Only a number probably do so.

The thing about playing in carnival games, you don’t feel like you’re spending that much since you only spend a small amount. Eventually, you don’t notice that you’ve bruned through hundreds already by the end of the day. Plus you usually just enjoy playing these games even while you don’t win after the nth time you’ve played. Not winning sometimes may even make you want to play more and more. It’s sort of addicting really, unconsciously.

Even if electricity were cheaper, it would still be illegal to steal electricity to mine bitcoin. Mining takes up a large consumption of electricity, so something like that would definitely alarm the authorities. The original intent for the elctricity was not for mining bitcoin, so when it was used for other purposes, it’s then considered as stealing. The man was probably trying to save from the cost of electricity by doing so.

I don’t think cash will be replaced so easily in the near future. Although the use of cards is aggressively progressing as of now, I believe that the use of cash will still have a very long life. Even while we can see that there has been adoptions of crypto more and more each day, it may not eradicate the use of cash for the years to come. Many complications will be encountered such as the need of having a smartphone or device plus internet in order to have access to crypto.

I don’t think it’s a PR move. The owner probably just wanted to add an option for buyers. Maybe he just wants his property to be sold immediately, and he knows that those who can afford it probably might own crypto. I don’t think this is such a big deal, but it’s cool to see how there are some already very open to the use of crypto even while there are limited merchant vendors in the Philippines where you can use and purchase crypto.

It’s true, they’ve said so much at first and made many criticizations. I find it ironic that they’ve decided to adopt the technology. But it’s no surprise since blockchain technology really is remarkable. I guess at first they made such comments so that in the public they would like they were right and superior. So that crypto won’t be a threat to them, they have done such actions. Everything’s probably just a publicity act.

From what I read in the article, LPU College of Technology will also be having this blockchain elective course. I'm not so familiar with the tuition fee price range of Lyceum but I believe it to be lower than ADMU's. I'm pretty sure other technical colleges will soon have this blockchain elective as well, it's already a big step for one university to be having it.

What's great about this is having a certification or accreditation once finishing the course. As compared to when you self educate yourself thru sources online, you might not be able to prove to your future employers of your knowledge which was acquired thru the internet. Having completed an elective from a prestigious university may fare differently for a person's career.

Awesome, finally there's a site with a consolidated list of sources and information related to crypto. Many have been searching for places where they can know more about crypto so they've flocked to this forum. This should have more exposure. This would be perfect for those who are interested in crypto but don't know where to start.

I like your website overall, but why not add brief overviews for each category so that your audience will have some sort of background on them before proceeding to the sources? Like a definition of BTC under the section of Bitcoin (BTC), and so on.
