Do you think that states will use bitcoin as a reserve of central banks instead of gold and one hundred governments will use it as a digital asset to accumulate value? This will never happen because the nature of the state is completely different. Many states have now legalized bitcoin, that is, they have established its legal status and determined its order and conditions for walking in society, but they will not actively support it, that is, they will not create an infrastructure for its circulation and use it in international agreements.
They will use their central bank stablecoins, that is, their digitized currencies, and create various regional stablecoins based on their own currencies or the same gold.
So far, the cryptocurrency market has reached one trillion dollars, compared with 70 trillion in stock markets and 200 trillion dollars in the real estate market, and states consider cryptocurrency to be one that does not threaten the stability of the global financial system. It is still unknown how states will treat cryptocurrency in the future. Most likely, they will strengthen the legal regulation of cryptocurrencies in order to weaken their impact on society.

The bitcoin price cannot rise for a long time without correction and fall. This is the law of the market, the reflection of supply and demand in its price. Bitcoin grew in price, many began to sell it in order to fix profits. Some needed money, while others are selling knowing that after some time it will still fall in price in order to buy it at a low price. So there is nothing surprising in the current fall in bitcoin. The surprise was caused by the long rise in the price of bitcoin without a rate correction.

Of course, bitcoin and other potential decentralized cryptocurrency may well be used to hide their income and wealth from government accounting. Surely many do so. If you place cryptocurrency on new wallets and do not display them on the exchange, then no state structure will be able to prove to anyone that they belong. The main thing is to securely store your private keys from wallets. Apparently, in the future, this will be one of the reasons for strengthening the regulation of cryptocurrency by states, as well as the further spread of cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin still dominates almost all types of cryptocurrencies due to its high level of capitalization, now over 68 percent. Therefore, the ethereum price is still dependent on the bitcoin price. When bitcoin rose in price, the price of ethereum also rose more than $ 1,300 and there was not much left to its previous price record. However, last night the price of bitcoin began to fall, and with it the price of ethereum fell. Now the price of this coin is at $ 1,100. For ethereum to surpass its previous price record, we seem to have to wait for the cryptocurrency market to continue bullish growth.

The Ripple company announced that it is entering into negotiations with the SEC, which means they are ready to admit their guilt and pay penalties. I don't think the SEC wants anything else. The negotiations will mainly concern the amount of penalties. The executives of this company will have to pay billions of dollars and XRP will continue to exist. Before the current market drop, XRP price began to recover and hit $ 0.33 yesterday.
Yes, this coin is centralized and can be easily misused, but many will still use it, including as a means of payment due to its good characteristics.

I have periodically sold my ethereum in small batches lately, but last time at the price that the coin has dropped to now. Now I have a certain amount in USDT, so if the market falls further, I will buy, but will grow, I need to determine a temporary price peak and sell. I am more and more convinced that simply holding the top cryptocurrencies is ineffective. You need at least periodic trading when prices are clearly going up or down. What will happen next - we'll see. It looks like this year will be very interesting for cryptocurrency market participants.

In practice, this is no longer news. More than 80 percent of all states are currently exploring or trying to switch to their national stablecoin. In the near future, virtually all states will have their own central bank stablecoins.
Most governments have already stated that using blockchain technology in non-cash payments is much more efficient and profitable.

It is difficult to find a year on our planet without a war. Probably such a human nature. In our time of high technology, world war is very easy to ignite. There is now a lot of evidence to support the fact that previous human civilizations had much more advanced technology than we have now. We find descriptions of the use of nuclear weapons and evidence of their use many millennia ago. Each time, humanity has to rebuild almost from scratch. It is possible that after some time the bow and arrows will again become the most formidable weapons. So far, human history has been constantly repeating itself.

Why, entry into the cryptocurrency market of large companies is generally very good for the distribution of cryptocurrency. Without a lot of capital, people had no confidence in the future of cryptocurrency. The fact that large corporations are investing their money in cryptocurrency gives people such confidence. They know that large companies invest money only if they are fully confident in the profitability of their investments. One cannot count on states in this matter. They will not actively support the cryptocurrency and invest in it.

The transition to digital currency is a very long process. It will take more than one year and probably more than one decade. Plus, I don't think paper money will ever disappear completely. A certain part of people will refuse to use digital money or, for various reasons, will not be able to do it. In addition, natural disasters are increasingly occurring on our planet, and therefore it is not worth relying entirely on electronic and digital money. Physical money is also needed. People should have a choice under what conditions what money to use. There is no need to rush in this matter.

Now the price of ripple is at the level of 0.32 dollars and it is unlikely to seriously fall. Ripple's executives have announced that they are entering negotiations with the SEC. This means that they agree to pay the penalties. The SEC, in fact, is doing this. If the fine is paid, then ripple will be restored on the exchanges and will be able to develop further. However, the awareness that centralized cryptocurrency can be easily misused will remain.

It is unlikely that a short-lived, but a decent drop in the price of bitcoin recently can be called a correction of its rate. This is just the usual manifestation of its volatility. Apparently, significant batches of bitcoins were put on the market for sale, which led to its almost instant drop in price. Even if its capitalization grows significantly, Bitcoin is unlikely to be able to get rid of this high volatility. It seems to me that Bitcoin and the high volatility of its price will always be together.

I do not think there will be any serious changes in the monetary system of states. Only one thing is clear: states will never switch to the use of a decentralized cryptocurrency. For now, they will actively issue central bank national stablecoins, as China does. In fact, these are the same national currencies, only in digital form. Depending on how they take root and how actively they will be used by the population, the states will decide what to do next.

After such an incredibly high price increase, Bitcoin should fall in value. However, the most exciting question for us so far is when this will happen and how low it will fall. If about the depth of the fall in the price of bitcoin, basically everyone agrees that it will not fall too low, then no one can definitely say anything about the time of the fall.
Most likely, the bullish growth of bitcoin will still last up to two weeks. After this time, capital can begin to flow into altcoins.

On December 21, Bitcoin had a price of $ 22,000 - $ 23,000. Those who sold bitcoins at such a price probably already regret it. They had the opportunity to practically double their profits, given that the price of bitcoin is now over $ 40,000. As we can see, the current growth of bitcoin is not at all similar to the situation of its growth in 2017 - 2018. Now the situation for cryptocurrency is much better than it was three years ago. However, it is all the same, bitcoin should go to correct its course after some time. Most likely, it will not be as deep and long as in 2018.

There is still a reasonable limit to Bitcoin's price growth. Many of us have already set for ourselves the price at which they will sell their bitcoins. It is right. Otherwise, we will only remember that we saw such a high price and did not take advantage of this growth. There will still be waves of price growth behind this wave, and it is better to be able to buy bitcoin and other potential cryptocurrency at a low price. The only question is to correctly feel at least approximately the price peak of the current growth.

Satoshi Nakamoto, or the person who used this pseudonym, did the right thing to hide his authorship. This is how Bitcoin can remain completely decentralized. I hope that this is what he was guided by, hiding his identity until now.
Therefore, of course, you need to stop trying to find Satoshi Nakamoto. And there is practically no chance of installing it without his desire.

I use roughly the same tactic. I mainly transferred my assets to ethereum. During this rapid price growth, when I thought that a price peak was possible, I sold a small amount and transferred to USDT in order to lock in a profit and there was a reserve for subsequent purchases at a low price. However, cryptocurrencies, including ethereum, continue to grow.
Therefore, indeed, lost profits will practically be in all of us. The main thing is not to make big mistakes.

This morning, I was just checking and organizing my old wallets and the presence of tokens in them, which began to be traded and can be sold. Of course I found something. Each type of token now needs to be assessed individually. There are those that are worth selling immediately, while others still have growth prospects. If soon we can wait for the altcoin season, then we shouldn't sell everything.

I see that the price of bitcoin is jumping up and down by hundreds of dollars. The price was over $ 39,000, and the surges were probably over $ 40,000. Now the situation is really such that it is difficult to predict something. Bitcoin may still rise or start falling right now. In any case, I would no longer advise buying it at the current high price. It's better to watch what happens next.
