I think that as long as there will be good volume of demand for bitcoin then after even a crash it will eventually push back though sometimes this process can take a lot of time just like the last winter which occurred for months before we have the bullish movement...right now. As of the moment, bitcoin is hovering at $8,700+ and if things can go right this can eventually overcome the $9,000 zone soon. As far as bitcoin is concerned, the way I am seeing it is that it is just following its own history though there can always be peculiarities from time to time. Next year, we are expecting the halving and who knows ETF can be approved soon...these factors can push bitcoin upwards like never before.

I heard somewhere that the super computers or quantum computers can pose problem to bitcoin and the blockchain technology...can you confirm this information? Anyway, I think we should not be worrying much about what can happen 120 years from now. I am sure there will be so many developments and innovations along the way and we don't even know if bitcoin can be recognizable at that time as it is even today evolving.

I am not so sure how to react to the post above but something is telling me to doubt it. One, if this is a real and trustworthy program...so why not put up a site where the information is provided? The program has to build up some credibility before the promoter has to expect for people to join on it. I am just wondering where is the prizes coming from? This is 2400 Bitcoin approximately $21,170,000...you must be the relative of Satoshi Nakamoto or just another joker like Craig Wright. Anyway, good luck to the program. 

When Bitcoin made the move weeks ago into the $5,000 territory, many analysts said that Bitcoin can be doing the bull run this time of the year and can be bullish for the next months towards the end of 2019. I guess they made the correct projection as the bullish sentiment of the market keeps Bitcoin afloat even if sometimes there can be some corrections. With the way things are developing, it would soon be easy for Bitcoin to get into the $9,000 area and then we know where it is going next. Yes, we can now conclude that the bull is here and as to where it can peak and when that we will excitedly wait and found out. Incidentally, I am actually amazed that this time around, we don't hear many people saying that bitcoin is going to the "moon" maybe because they are already tired of such a hype.

This Franck Muller watch can be the next symbol of wealth, elegance and of course expensive cryptocurrency wallet. Wow! Who would not want to own a watch with a wallet like that? But when I review the price, reality hits me. Maybe I would just prefer to buy Bitcoin instead if ever I have that much money. I am sure there is a big market for this luxurious item as this can be a collector's item actually...a high-tech watch very much attuned to the bitcoin and cryptocurrency phenomenon. It can be amazing to think that Switzerland is known for making the most expensive and luxurious watches and right now it is becoming the home of many fintech companies making business with blockchain technology and cryptocurrency...just watch this watch is symbolizing.

Jumping into something without first thoroughly thinking what can the consequences be or what should be the required prerequisites are is a stupid thing to do. Now, with investing with Bitcoin the best time for that can be 10 years ago or now when it is about to embark on another bullish journey. Of course, one has to be ready financially if the decision is yes. Another good strategy is steadily adding a little bit of bitcoin now and then especially if there is a dip. The most important thing is to always use our head when we are investing regardless of what investment vehicle we are into, and not be guided by emotions.

What can happen to bitcoin if one day we can finally find the most mysterious man in this side of universe? Well, let us based that on what happened to BSV when Craig Wright filed the copyright to the whitepaper of bitcoin, it pumped high. So that is also possible with bitcoin as there will be an unusual excitement because we can finally meet the man behind all of this. The problem is that it might not happen...at least not as soon as we wish it to be.

So that's it. According to my research, Telegram came into existence around August 2013 so definitely Satoshi Nakamoto could not use one but come to think of it...would he use Telegram if it was already operating back in 2008 or 2009? Maybe yes or maybe no. IRC was very popular years ago and of course we already have the email option in communication so these were two good channels for him. 

With the way things are going (like a good deal of positive news especially on adoption of bitcoin by some famous merchants and the overall rosy market sentiment enveloping the whole industry right now), I would not be surprised if at the end of the year we can be nearing $15,000. I can be daring to say that it can go beyond $20,000 but maybe that can be too much. This is assuming that no big negative development can derail the bitcoin train.

Data is power and anybody holding that data can easily monetized those data. This is the big lesson I learned when I supported many data-related ICO projects in 2017...sadly many of those project went kaput themselves. Data can be money in the hands of a good merchant and it can also mean power if wield rightly. This is so important to Facebook, Google and other big names in this ever-expanding online industry as what they are pushing are based on data. And of course, data buyers are all over the market especially big businesses and popular merchants (including the many small fishes or players, of course). Are we then entering the time when even cryptocurrency is being utilized harvesting data for profit? Yes, that can be possible but I am still crossing my fingers with the Facebook's GlobalCoin and see what its final infrastructure will be. Let's judge the book when it is already available in bookstore.

I have at least 5 ETC in my wallet and I just left it there thinking that maybe it can continue to grow over a period of time. However, I find it anemic at its best. I am always looking for any update or new development for this coin but I could not find one. Maybe you are right that this has no more active people behind? I am actually thinking that it would be better to let go of this and convert it into either Eth or Bitcoin.

Good to see someone like you who can expose the main weaknesses of a coin so that coin buyers can have a balanced view of what they are getting into. I actually see some potential with this coin but that can depends a lot with the devteam if they gonna work hard to exploit the available potential, otherwise this can just be another coin that will soon be left on the yard with no value left inside. Right now, it is easy to bump into a coin that is not essentially offering something new to the marketplace but just a copycat...let's hope that this coin will do everything possible to be a different platform even if it is just a fork. I am wishing TelosCoin the best of things to come.

I have some XRP hidden somewhere in my wallet and though they are not much they are symbolizing of my vote of trust and confidence on this cryptocurrency (though some are calling it as the false one and centralized at best) because I am seeing a big potential of this coin especially in tandem of big banks and similar financial platforms. But let me clarify that am also a great supporter of Bitcoin and Ethereum.

There is a great future for XRP. However, just like any other cryptos, there are also hypes about it. There are publications touting that soon XRP can be able to reach as high as $10 and in such a short period of time. Should we believe these hypes or should we as usual take them with an abundance of salt?

Good to hear that Twitter will soon be integrating Lightning Network with its platform. That can be another good news that we should be excitedly waiting for. Now, if Tippin can offer the same facility in Reddit am sure they can find a big market in there too as discussions on cryptocurrency related matters seem to be ablaze in there. They can also explore other social media sites for possible partnership for this great service.

There is no question that in today's modern world, fiat money represents nothing more than a promise and in many instances that promise can easily be broken due to the government's mismanagement and wrong priorities. For me, fiat money equals the government and because no government will ever survived the test of time we can say that the promise has no real value especially viewed in the prism over a period of time. Only gold and silver are able to survive the litmus test of time and usability that is why fiat money should have been tied to them...but bureaucrats think they know better so they print and print more money away from the backing of gold thinking that they can change the course of history and that this time it could be different. Time will tell us that this a very dangerous idea. History will definitely repeat itself because we have never learned it.

First and foremost, I don't think this is the way to make a post anywhere in this forum. You can just quote a little and then make your own impression and conclusion with this matter. Now, the site which you shared am sure that it is just another scam pretending to be a part of the Binance site but it is not.


Binance will not be asking anyone any Bitcoin or Eth from its membership or anyone else inside or outside of its exchange. I am happy that you shared it here...if only you posted it the right way. Please learn how to do things here by following the examples of other members.

Update: Thanks for modifying the post.

The impact of the entrance of the so-called institutional money can soon be felt in the bitcoin market and in my opinion this is huge and can even be the main factor for the continuing rise of the price of bitcoin. I am predicting that next year is the year when this part of the market will really boom and explode pushing bitcoin to the "moon". 

Well, that is something we have to thanked for. There are many countries in which tax collection system is designed not to be over strict and burdensome with the people. Unlike many advanced countries where tracking can be flawless, some countries are still behind (or maybe have chosen not to upgrade yet their existing platform) so most likely what you voluntarily declare can be the basis of what you might pay. Now, in the case of the Philippines we have to remember that we have the law which dictates that we have to declare any income we realized for the previous year and certainly that includes income from cryptocurrency activities. In the end, we can declare it...or we might not.

The title is asking if it is alive or dying and actually not making statement of fact...this is one way to generate eyeballs like a bait for us to check the post. So inside the long post we are enthralled with the many developments both good and sometimes bad concerning bitcoin and the rest of cryptocurrency. One of the watershed of this movement is when Japan recognized or legalized bitcoin which opened many avenues for the cryptocurrency market. Right now, the way the market is making good traction in many countries (though many are still not joining the frenzy), we can easily conclude that cryptocurrency is here to stay and will be evolving as years go by. There will be more big players in this industry just like what Facebook just announced. Things are getting exciting and it is good to be a part of the history of this game-changing ecosystem.

Congratulations! I think you made the correct projection as just one day after...bitcoin is now moving towards the $9,000 zone which can mean that maybe days from now if not a week we can see bitcoin already approaching the $10,000 barrier. There is a strong market sentiment that bitcoin is all ready for the next level and I am sure that at this time there are many institutional fund managers eagerly looking how they can enter the bitcoin bandwagon and make some money too.
