Without bitcoin people wont know crypto currencies, without bitcoin popularity crypto currencies wont be recognised, bitcoin is the first digital currency that successfully being used by people, and I don't see anyone complain when bitcoin price soar high, I saw a lot of people praise how good bitcoin was, but if you think bitcoin is useless then choose  other coin  that suit yourself, nobody is forcing you to use bitcoin

Yes, decentralisation coin will never stable, especially the popularity of the things is already high, so the transaction flow will be really fast and it will cause the price fluctuate a lot, and all of the price is all based on people speculation and how the speculator guide the users to the direction they want

I think most of the traders are just doing it for side job, most of the traders just  follow the signal traders, or just pick a coin by rumours, only small part of the traders are full time traders, and it's possible to make a living by trading crypto, the volatility and the wide variety of the coins making the possibility of earning profit become high

The more people believe this the more likely it will happened, I am not surprised by the dropping as we  know the price had going up too fast, there will be a correction, and the alt coin rising has caused more damage to bitcoin, but once bitcoin go down there will be another pump and this pump is going to surpassed ATH, so it's your choice to hold or to sell, for me I will still hold bitcoin

Well it's just unfortunate, but something like this will keep on happening in 2018, the popularity of bitcoin has been too much and the government has started to take action, you got two choice,  secretly using bitcoin and buying things in bitcoin and cash out outside of your country or just stop using it

Only invest what you can afford to lose, and either way of investing is going  to  have a risk, but sure it's safer to trade like that because  you already split your investment in two things, but to make the maximum profit dont just trade with btc-fiat try btc-alt, you  can gain alot of trading experience

Anything is possible, with a lot of investors scattered around with different alt, there is a chance where Xrp could infiltrate btc position, because as we know bitcoin now got a serious issue to fix, and other coin in a big pump, but it's still a long story, now Xrp need to secure the position with eth, eth is also not that easy to beat down

If the developer not fixing anything regarding to transaction fee then botcoin will be left by it's users, now we already got so many coins that got a good feature, bitcoin need to step up the game if still want to be king, eth is a good and stable coin but still need more time to grow, but it's not impossible eth could swipe bitcoin, a lot of people already consider invest in alt coins and most of the people suggesting invest in eth

I put more money in short term because I think in short term investment you need a quick action and when you got the opportunity then you need to execute it as fast as possible so you can get maximum profit, for short term I follow the market trend, but the most basic one I invest are xrp, dash, eth, for long term I only invest in btc

Bitcoin is a currency, bitcoin was created for that purpose, but because of the limited value and the repeating demand, people now hold it as investment, and since there are a lot of story about how  people become successful with bitcoin, but something that people need to realize, bitcoin is a volatility currency, use a clear mind to play, there will be a chance the bubble will burst, bitcoin is a high risk investment, hold with caution

I think the volatility and the spiking of bitcoin also become the reason why gambling site is struggling, and a lot of gamblers also restricted themselves because of the price, and alot of gambling site got the same game, so the rivalry making the site hard to survive, now people more interested in investing and trading

I am one of the idiot that invest  in bitcoin and I am one of the person that already start to invest bitcoin when it's $300, I have make a lot of money with bitcoin, and the growth of bitcoin has been incredible, and when its stop at 15k I still think bitcoin has been wonderful in growth, so I think its okay to be idiot as long as making profit

I think yes, it will affect the price since people are cashing out bitcoin to purchase gift an used it for holiday, but this situation can be reverse if a lot of shops already accepting bitcoin, for sure people will do transaction using bitcoin and could increase the transaction volume, and the result the price could go up, maybe in the future when shops already adapted, price will go up in holiday season

Cardano just lucky to be pump, and it's not really famous among crypto users, and to compare it with eth I think it's too far, eth is already a strong coin,  many project using eth as token , cardano is not even near that part yet, Cardano still need time to proved it's usage, Cardano is a good coin to make profit but the coin still got no support from big company

I think faucets is a good way to introduce the way of earning bitcoin, because faucet is the most simple way to make money, but yhe earning is not too much, for the one that already know about bitcoin, faucet is wasting time and the electricity spending is bigger than the faucet earning

There are something that I not agree, bitcoin is a currency you can used  it to purchased some things in the store and a lot of things in Japan, and bitcoin is a great payment tool, the high transaction cost that happen is because bitcoin price rise high, but bitcoin is very convenient to use, especially for worldwide transaction, and it's not only for the poor, they can invest in fraction, the rest of the statement I agree with you

I still see litecoin as a good coin to invest, its a bit unfortunate that the creator sold all it's coin, it's definitely causing fear to the investors, but I believe there are still so many people support this coin, the coin got a very fast transaction speed which is going to be very useful for transaction

No bitcoin was never intended to disrupt any country, bitcoin was created so people not get controlled by banking system, and bitcoin could not destroy any banking, and  how could we build any infrastructure without the help and the permission from the government, bitcoin purpose is to make an easier transaction among people in the world

I think it can be, this year some alt coin price rising is better than bitcoin, more and more small investors is focusing on alt coin because it is cheaper and it able to get better profit in short term and 2018 we will see alt coin set a good foundation as a lot  of project is waiting for them, a lot of speculator predicted that alt coin is going to be more profitable than bitcoin in 2018

I think xrp now is already at the deep, so it will good idea to buy some, I already stock some xrp few days ago, and since few days ago the price already stabilize, so now we are waiting for the pump, holding xrp for long term is going to be profitable, because so many people started to support this coin
