Yes, it was the longest correction period in the history of the cryptocurrency. Logically, it must come to the end very soon. Thus, you should buy Bitcoin right now.

No one of the existing altcoins can ever affect Bitcoin. The tokens have their own life but they all also depend on BTC. Suppose, many of them will vanish in 2-3 years.

Maybe not endless but in 5-10 years, Bitcoin will surely have more influence on all of us than now. I believe that the demand for BTC will sufficiently grow, and it will cost much more.

Oh, I also suppose that these tokens will gain much in 5-7 months. I see, TRON shows a very good speed - it is ready to start the bull run. I also pick Cardano.

As I see, the author of this thread asked the question in May. That time, all of us were sure - Ethereum would simply rise very fast. Now, most of the men think the same. I am just holding it and waiting for 2019.

The skilled people trade and hold as both of the options brings them the money. With the day trading, you can earn really fast but you can lose everything easily - be careful with it.

We don't have other option but to hold cryptocurrencies we liked. That is way for many different situations. We just must to wait and growing crypto market will bring us some rewards. Sometimes no need to move.

If you have bitcoins yet don't sell them. I don't see any reasons for selling Bitcoins or Ethereum. Just wait until these cryptocurrencies will grow enough to bring you a decent income. It will be a nice present for a patient investor.

I suppose that Ethereum will become the currency number one at some point of time in future. But I am not sure about the right time when it will happen. In my mind it is not a matter of coming years.

I like many different altcoins but prefer Ethereum first of all. For me it is very important to be confident in my investments. Both Ethereum and Bitcoin give me such confidence. That is why I am investing in these coins.

Thanks you for mention it! I changed title!
Guys thank you for all you replies! It is super interesting! Yes Bitcoin has the power to grow!!!

Do not trust Ripple, the centralized currency used mostly by banks. Pick Ethereum, wait a bit, and finally, in several months, you will earn the money that you need so very much.

One of my friends is a trader, before the ICO he always buys bitcoin and waits for the beginning. He find that after the start of the ICO, the price will not be the same in any case. And in the process of ICO, you can already decide what to do with the coin. His tactics are interesting to consider.

It all depends on your goals when buying cryptocurrencies, you can earn on other currencies! Bitcoin is of course the main currency, but its rate varies more slowly.
And other coins have more sharp and rapid growth and fall.   

My friend bought BTC last year for 7,500 usd. And this year, due to the fact that he succumbed to panic, sold everything with great losses and at the moment sells household appliances from his home, because there is no money. So no need to panic! Just be patient!!!

On the one hand, now is the time to stock up on cryptocurrency, because compared to last year, prices are much lower, but relative to the middle of this year is much higher. Now you can make long-term investments!

The cryptocurrency market is very large and as in any market there are people who want to make money on any changes. Cryptocurrency is similar to the real estate market, it is very difficult to guess the value for tomorrow. Either way, it's a game. Analysts advise not to panic, in any case, BTC will grow in price, the main thing is to be patient.

I will try to add good content to forum!!! Please don't judge too hard  



3 months left until the end of the year and Bitcoin hasn't overcome a mark even in 10,000, not to mention a record in 20,000 in December of last year, so let's remember various "predictions" of Bitcoin's rate from analysts this year.

Here the most known of them:
- Pantera Capital: $20,000 ? 2018;
 - Thomas Li: $22,000 in 2018;
 - Max Kayser: $28,000 by the end of 2018;
 - Alistair Milne: $35,000– $60,000;
 - Anthony Pombriano: $50,000 in 2018;
 - John Pfeffer: $75,000 by the end of 2018;
 - Kay Van-Petersen: $100,000 by the end of 2018.

And now we watch at a current rate ~ $6572,86 – It’s far from figures above.
Though 3 months, certainly, a big term for the young market of cryptocurrencies, during this time here a lot of things can occur, considering extremely high volatility. But we must not to live alone hope for rapid growth, it is necessary to look at longer distances. But it is necessary to look at longer distances. We will return on a year ago and we will look at the figures.
On September 28, 2017 - a rate of Bitcoin was $4150 but now the rate of the main cryptocurrency is $6572,86.

Actually, in a year from September 2017 on the present day, the Bitcoin has risen on ~ 60%, and for the last 2 years more than 10 times.
Game of statistics, but the fact remains, for the year of +60%, you won't argue!!!

If not to equal constantly on December rapid growth up to 800 billion capitalizations and to look at the market in general, then at a bigger scale we see market growth.
But to most of people only rapid growth and a fast depreciation was remembered.
It is possible to tell that the industry wasn't ready last year to such explosive growth of capitalization.
So simply says - all spheres matures.
People began to think more not of speculation in the market, they began to think of more important things, such as the construction of infrastructure for institutional investors, safety strengthening, use of a blockchain and cryptocurrencies in daily tasks, creating favorable conditions for blockchain startups and etc.
 
Whether the firm base for new records of capitalization is ready now?  

600 dollars now is not such a small investment but you are right. It is better to choose alts with the lower market cap or buy altcoins that are simply cheap. This about investing in TRON, Gladius, Cardano, and Stellar.

Real traders are the professionals that have the years of experience. They came in trading years ago, and now, they are aware of all the underwater stones of the crypto market. Panic is the worst enemy of all that work with the cryptos.
