As we can see, most of them at the lower end of coinmarketcap are already dead and we may just only end up seeing few altcoins with great projects that will end up staying relevant at the end as long as they are able to convince investors of its maximal usage.

Bitcoin is going to stay on that top for now and obviously, we will just have to see how government regulations worldwide are going to have to play out. $100,000 is a possibility but when is what no one can really say for now.

This is what any reasonable person would do but as far as I am concerned, we may not really get below $7000 as it is one hell of a huge correction to have now.

We have been able to hit a new ATH from a breakout recently and in cases like that and looking at the trends, that usually leads to a new ATH or another level of break out. One thing I have realized though is that bitcoin is full of huge surprises.

Only if they want to keep the altcoin hidden from the public anyway and except unregulated exchanges will only be trading them on exchanges, I really do not see how creating their coin for the dark world would work, but anything can happen. However, it is a normal thing for these guys who live their days illegally and they will always look for every ways to perform their trade. Moreover, USD being the most important currency for world trade has been the most popular one anyway for across the border payments so what stops them from making use of cryptocurrency when that was still easy for them.

Unless some crazy shit happens that caused a huge panic, then I will say you should keep dreaming because there is absolutely no possibility of that. Have you seen what American investors are saying from the surveys ?
Then you should know that bitcoin's price is undervalued at the moment and there is so much increase coming up for bitcoin in the future. Stop thinking about a low value like that, buy now and look into the bright future ahead.

Why would anyone not want to keep their investments when they made more than that? X10 is too small. Just this year alone, most people who even got in early this year has been able to make x10, let alone those who have been in the system for a long time now.

If I have been in the system since 2010 and I bought a lot, highest i will do now is to take some out, and diversify offline into several fleet of businesses which I believe no matter what happens with bitcoin tomorrow, I already have a lot coming in for me and that would not make me stop saving in bitcoin the more.

These are some of the posts some users read and ended up being misled thinking that trading is just as simple as that and then they come back running to the thread crying to the whole community that crypto trading sucks. Every trading even asides crypto trading will suck as long as the person refuses to learn first. Hitting Bittrex or poloniex is not what counts, but knowing what to do to make a lot of profit from the trading is what counts.

Definitely, but one should always understand how these lows and highs work sometimes. Almost every coin has a pattern which should be understood very well to be able to make some decisions. Bitcoin does to, and one should understand corrections, the low buying and the right point to always sell to make profit and even buy back for more profit later on.

Once you have a very good strategy, you cannot make any huge mistakes per se and even if there is a mistake in your decisions which are totally bound to happen even with pro traders, but what makes it different is knowing when to get out and not gamble a situation, and knowing when it is right to get in back. Those are where strategies come to play.

Every time is not the best time to cash out, most especially when you are referring to the state of panic. A lot of people have made this mistake so many times and that is because they never understood what they were getting into before even getting into it.

You can cash out if you need it for something you need to do, but when it comes to trading, you should never panic in situations like a deep correction, knowing so well that it would come back right up.

That must have taken a whole lot of time, heartaches and all. And really, I would not want to believe that. 5/2017 is a long way to this time and we really have to consider the crazy moments of shitcoins as well which is not palatable when some of these coins crash looking at the recent incidents. So, I would not want to take anything I hear on this forum to be exactly as it is. It is easy to say than done and I will bet my last dollar that he was lying.

I doubt if it will last forever too but we cannot really say for now how long it is going to keep doing this. The rise in bitcoin has really made altcoins to feel it badly and most of them are even finding it hard to break any ATH or even sustain it for long if they do as most people are trying as much as possible not to miss the BTC bullish movement cause of any Alt.

However, like you have said, nothing lasts forever, at some point there should be a balance for a while to give the Alts some breathing space.

And that belief is what has led so many people into becoming a gambling addict cause there is no way that mentality would not lead them into trying to recover their losses at the end and wishing they never started in the first place and at the same time not being able to control the impulse to continue.

It is all about luck and if anyone cannot see as mainly that, better they just give up now.

Maturity is really needed in gambling and there is no way one can be able to control those impulse without some level of maturity. This is a common mistake most gamblers usually make, which is not being able to control the impulse and also trying to recover losses during that process. It takes a lot of guts, experience to just accept defeat and move on.

I cannot imagine the level of risk he must have taken and the rate at which his heart must have been beating at those moment. Sure, the happiness is always a huge one when you hit a lot of cash and most especially if the greens keep turning up. No one loves red which is normal and in as much as we can say we want to have fun, reds just have a way of terminating that fun.

Even around me lately, my cousin and I were discussing about bitcoin and its present value and the people around were looking at us like dummies and asking questions in the sense like what is bitcoin again ? Is it a Ponzi ? And all that…

The thing is the population of people who know about bitcoin right now is still low and until we start seeing real life usage before we start seeing that population increasing. We here right now are just privilege which is why I keep saying bitcoin is still very low with the present value, wait until then.

The worst a hacker would do is to crack your wallet and that is if you leave it vulnerable. Shits happen, no doubt and you are in control of your wallet except if you are using a centralized exchange which we all should know by now that you should not do if you want to be in charge of your money.

Anything that has to do with online or offline required the individual to understand how to level up security and stay safe in case of invaders, so, it is absolutely in everyone's hands.

LOL. You do not have to take it personal bro. If they think their actions can have an effect on bitcoin, then they are totally wrong.

Moreover, a lot of fake news has been generated from this region by whales so as to have some free money, but unluckily for them, those times are over and bitcoin is gaining more strength than normal. The mining issue is even something that would have zero impact on bitcoin.

Honestly, 150x is a huge amount to expect from buying into a alt unless the person is just extremely lucky. Moreover, it would not even come that quickly and most of these ICOs even have a minimum amount that can be invested, so does it really sound reasonable ? I totally doubt. $1 is a small amount of money to invest to expect something huge from it and the OP should better just level up.

BTC obviously will be the first on anyone's list right now. However, there are some alts that would really give some huge bullish run in the long run and those are coins that have a huge project backing with some team that would be ready to go a long way to do their best.

I am vouching for some now though, and though they are still new, I will just have to keep my fingers crossed on them. COSS is one of them.

Not very sure yet what is going on within the BCH community, but from what I can gather, the fork should be an upgrade which I do not think anyone so far is against.

So, this should not really bring about any new coin as it is only going to be fixing some problems. All the abobe, we should not be encouraging forks because of free coins but instead look forward to it as something that should benefit the ecosystem from the upgrades. Who cares about BCH anyway? We should look forward to making bitcoin core more usable.

A lot can change in any minute and I would really expect a lot to change any moment from now. It is glaringly so much needed for a solution to be found to the scaling problem and once that is solved, we will even see more than what we are seeing now. With the huge network fee, bitcoin is still trading presently at around $7500, so I really wonder why bitcoin cannot get up to $10000 by December.
