I.guess founders of the site realised the needs of crypto users. For traders is essential to have all relevant information at right time and at one place so they don't have to waist the.time on endless searches. It's also very important that data are trustworthy and that the site is secure. Hope the site will fulfil the expectations and become one-stop-shop for all seriously involved in cryptocurrencies.

To my opinion John McAfee is not relevant for any Bitcoin prediction. There are too.many experts that are given to many attention without reason. I think such predictions are pure speculations, exaggerated and without any solid ground so I wouldn't bother about this at all.

I don't think this is going to happen. Maybe Facebook has such ambitious but it's not very likely .
Although it's promoted like safe and and secure coin backed up with some real money and real money transactions I don't think this is enough for success and enough to attract users. So far Bitcoin isn't in any danger and I don't think this is going to change.

Some might say again this is because of whales and their actions but I don't think so. It's probably circumstances on the market and investors mood that pushed the price.
Still it's hard to say if this is going to last and we will have some continuous growth or is this a temporary pump after which some corrections will follow.

There will be always sone who will wait for price to drop to 1000$ or lower and when they buy it somehow in some miracle way the price will rise above 20000$. But they are not actually relevant because they obviously not serious bitcoiners. And some people never learn from mistakes no matter how long arw they present on the market because there are still a lot of users who lack even basic knowledge about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general.

This is a high and quick price jump we are having now but that doesn't mean 2017 scenario will happen again. To 20000$ is a very long way to go and corrections are always possible. Let's wait for a while and see if current pump is going to last and become a permanent growth or just temporary hype.

Many banks want cashless society but that doesn't necessary mean crypto society too. Many banks are developing services that avoid cash flow and you can do all your business with banks online and with virtual cards etc.
Still very few banks are ready at the moment to accept cryptocurrencies. But with time that will definetely change and sooner or later they will offer crypto based services to their clients.

It's very short period of time and no matter all skills and experiences it's hard to double profit so short term. It's not impossibe but many good circumstances should come together to achieve that.
By why to hurry so much, it's better to develope some less risky long term strategy than trying to make profit over night.

I don't think this is going to happen. Yes, there will be some countries that will try to ban Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies but globaly this is not going to happen. Just the opposite, many governments will try to find the way how to regulate cryptocurrencies and involve them into society. Security will also increase, because that is very important for users. No one isn't saying there are no issues in crypto world but they are something we should all work together.

Looks like we are heading towards 10000$ and it seems that price could be hit very soon. Still that doesn't mean it's necessary going to happen and if it does it's not impossibe for price to fall again. 10000$ isn't some magical boundary that would mean that price could go only up. Corrections are always possible, price is volatile, don't forget that.

Seems that Asian countries are more and more supportive towards cryptocurrencies. This is probably one of ways they try to be competitive with Europe and America, especially in the field of new technologies and that is good news for crypto world. Positive regulation could only bring progress and further development of cryptocurrencies so this is an example to follow.

No matter that situation in the market looks good and the price is very close to 10000$ I wouldn't be so sure that this will happen exactly this month. Don't forget how easy corrections can happen and that we had many similar situations recently. 10000$ seems so close but it could be so far away.

I agree that exchanges could be the risk because of everything you have said and also security issues.
Still besides that trading brings certain risks no matter the experience and knowledge and time spent in the market. Some things can't be predicted and some amount of loss is inevitable sooner or latter. But the most important thing is how you deal with loss and do you have a back up strategy.

I don't think that Bitcoin transactions were ever meant to be instant. Besides, are bank transactions instant? No, they are not unless you send money within the same bank. I understand that people like everything fast and want they money and payment as fast as possible but that is not the reason why people would abandon Bitcoin and stop using it. Yes, Bitcoin has some disadvantages but speed of transactions is not the biggest one.

Trading is always a good option, at least as longwas you adjust to the conditions on the market and have realistic goals. When you are experienced enough you can make profit even when the situation is not favourable. So I guess the judgement depends on every trader individualy.

I don't know how really successful this situation is. Yes, the price is above 9000$ at the moment but still it will not go so easily forward and some corrections are possible. Although it seems that 10000$ or more is very close I don't think this might come very soon. Although current price is a big progress there is no guarantee that price will continue to follow that trend.

If you remember at the very begininig Bitcoin was almost always connected to illegal activities. Some people tend to do that even today, Bitcoin is for many still something unknown and shady. At the begininig Bitcoin was much more anonimous and transactions were much harder to trace so in a way it was logical that Bitcoin was used by criminals.
It's true that Bitcoin is also being used for illegal stuff, especially online but this is just one tiny side of it and fiat money is misused too. It's a complex situation and should be considered as such. Governments should find the way how to regulate Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to divide legal from illegal, that would be easier for all.

Did he really know what he was doing or he just had luck? Was he really such good investor that calculated everything or were these just circumstances? That is the question for discussion. Still I hope he learned a lot out of it and that he knows how to clever use the money and invest further. Anyway, he is still very young so this is the good teaching lesson for him and hope he will stay in crypto, not only because of money.

Well, the story about ban in India isn't over yet and it's still isn't clear how the whole situation will be solved. So, don't conclude in advance.
By now experiences have told us that bans never brought anything good but also didn't prevent people from doing something. The same will be with Bitcoin, users will find their way. Ban might influence Bitcoin in negative way but it will not destroy it, such presumption is exaggerated.

I guess that depends on every individual. How much and when is invested, how long coins are holded or what trading strategy is used.
My general idea is that is always better for Bitcoin to be on the market and not just sit idle in some wallet. So I guess that best option for profit is combination of trading and holding in ideal ratio but everyone needs to find the best strategy that suits his needs.
