The value is being held itself below $6000 because it's currently not the suitable time for it to be at the price which is expected by many investors who are holding their coins to get their stops reached there. Once 6k gets broken, we will be in for a rally that's being injected slowly for the coming days of fork as well as many critics giving the usage of Bitcoins a boost through their misleading words. One thing is for sure that nothing is impossible for Bitcoins, we just need to wait for the appropriate time to see that Impossible turning into possibility.

Wait what? Promote?
Airdrop coins look more like scam coins to me because I think they have nothing better to offer than "air-dropping" their coins for free to gather some interest in the community, let them start the HYPE about these people's "promising" projects that may turn into nothing if everything doesn't work out as they expected. Sometimes, even concepts that have the best people, "fail" due to some wrong campaigning methods. I am not against them because I haven't tried any of these yet, but I don't know why am I scared to give my details that they ask in order to get some coins during their live air-drops.

It was sure that these high-rated people would go nuts about Bitcoins once it starts to rise and it's happening now.
Putin is a Government-guy and Governments are scared of Bitcoins because Bitcoin poses a "tunnel" to let us make our finance anonymous and they are gazing the right time to fill this tunnel. But all I could see there in Russia is, Putin didn't decide to stop cryptocurrencies but ordered the banks as well as their regulators to start regulating Bitcoins as soon as possible. I don't think they plan to ban Bitcoins or ^attack^ crypto market in any way.

Never, because those who commit such stupid mistakes of borrowing money from others for the sake of gambling purposes are those who end up losing their credibility in the society and they are never seen with respect. For me, respect is the biggest thing that comes first, even above money. Though we play with smaller or larger amounts, but we should play with our own money and only use such amount that, if lost, won't give regrets to us because I have a few friends who gamble too much that when they lose, they suffer a lot but they make their families too suffer with them as they are the only earning persons in their families. They come and ask me for money, borrow some from me but I never hand the money to them but their wives because I know that they will use my money also in gambling.

Let me ask you one thing here OP, is it Bitcoin's fault if people are trying to scam "for it"?
Why are you blaming Bitcoins when exchanges try to run away with your funds? Bitcoin is a currency that is under your/their possession (depends where you put them) and nothing in the world is safe and everything possess risks. About the break of the dollar, if you won't use fiat to evaluate the power of cryptocurrencies, what will you use? Metal? Gold? Maybe Silver?
People like you just try to throw sludge on Bitcoins but you should know that Bitcoin now is not what it used to be in its early days. It was a "JOKE" which is now turned into a fulfilled "WISH", a reason that helps you live on it, makes you earn it and get something in exchange.

I have never invested my time trying to catch one because I am a bit sketchy in terms of knowledge about how it all works.
I think we need to do some tasks or just give our ETH address or whatever they ask, and we will get a few tokens sent to our wallet at the said time. (Correct me if wrong).
Those ICOs which conduct airdrops, are they worth to be invested in? If yes, how and why?

Your way of presenting everything was phenomenal. I loved how you set everything and managed to gather all the information needed to successfully demonstrate everything. I think that the stock markets part should be dragged in Bitcoins and that can only be done after ETFs take place in US, we really need SEC to allow such things because once this goes viral (already gone way too much) through the stocks way, there will be nothing that could stop Bitcoins from reaching exceptional higher levels in terms of value. We need a few trillions if we want to see 100k, but that's currently a dream.

It is both a matter of fact as well as a question of fear, but there are causes as to why this happens:
1. Whales can't let everything go green because when something (Bitcoins) is gaining, something (alts) has to lose.
2. They take out their money off alts and sell BTC for fiat because they might have their stops there and that's why we also see fluctuations during pumps.
3. Altcoins are not losing but they also gain with time once BTC stabilizes because these same alts become worth many times once they start gaining in BTC and BTC gets steady at a price in fiat. This is a good chance but TBH, we should wait for even more dumps because fork is in the way and some more blood bath might be on the road.

I said recently that buying is best when the price becomes calm and starts getting down because that's when the selling pressure starts getting higher. We don't know and no one can predict the exact point of stop where we should place our buy order, but follow your instinct when it asks you to buy during correction because I have witnessed one thing and I bet on the basis of it that Bitcoin will never let you down no matter where you purchase it, it will always grow in value and will be worth something more only in the future.

I would diversify my statements in a well-said manner:
Use Bittrex if you are in search of quick pumps because many pumps take place there randomly and you could make a quick buck. So if that's your purpose of trading, use it but beware that their withdrawal fee is high. You will have a variety of indicators offered there if you know how to use them and technically decide the price levels to be set to buy/sell your specific alt.
Use Poloniex if you wish to steadily grow your capital and learn aside that how it all works actually. They don't offer much indicators though, but their interface is cleaner compared to Bittrex.
Livecoin is also good because they list many ICOs at the very beginning after these ICOs' marketing and token sale ends.

Buy when the price calms down and looks back for a correction mode because till then, price will either go up or remain steady at fixed levels.
Sell when you need fiat because Bitcoin is here to grow and if you want to day-trade, then you already lost a chance of making ~14% over your investment.
People just overthink about this and those who think, will just THINK. You want to make money out of it? You need to put it right away in it and the hodl period starts but know one thing that even time rewards those who have the dare to take risks.

Guess it's tolerable till they provide the source too because many people post in press but with links.
So, if they provide it then there's nothing wrong with it I think. As well, such posts don't count towards a "constructive" post made by themselves, so they don't get paid for it.

I know that we need to wait but the price isn't purely being derived from speculative aspects but the truth here is that, the more users know about Bitcoins the better because that's what is currently being looked as the major factor for driving the value so crazy we only imagined in our dreams. In a short span of time, Bitcoin showed more than 14% increase in its value when it triggered 5420 and this shouldn't be, in any ways, compared to a pump because forks were the constraints that stopped the growth continuity and now they are the reason why it is climbing sky high levels.

4k is history and I don't think we might see those prices back. Some rigid decisions were taken over Bitcoins but that's the reason why we are seeing it at an ATH presently. 10k looks near to me once the 7500 stops are hit because going 30% high would not be hard once the newer high-rated resistances are met. Being optimistic has nothing to do with the values as we are just speculating while market movers are moving it where they want to. Let the 2x part be calmed down and see the magic in December.

The guy was the one (of the most stupid people I have ever seen) who said that he will fire any of his employees who are involved in trading Bitcoins and/or take any interest into it. Now I think he fired his thoughts itself which made him become a critic and shout out something negative about Bitcoins but I thank him because due to such people's non-sensical comments, Bitcoin is gaining much more users daily. On other hand, Hedge Fund Legend Mike Novogratz went all in on Bitcoins saying,"I can hear the herd coming. Met with big institutional investors they’re coming." over CNBC.

The price tends to be moving up just because we are in for some "forkful" festive season. I don't see this as a short-term rise but this might not end up before 7500 and we may see the correction between 5k-6k which doesn't seem a big loss in the price but something reasonable. We must hodl and see what will happen this month's end because price won't stop here after breaking those sensitive levels of 4k and 4500. All set for a rally, just sit tight and see to the reactions of market.

One more update on this:
Jamie Dimon recently said he is not going to discuss anything about Bitcoins anymore. I can't resist laughing the hell out off my mouth, people.
This guy who used to comment over cryptocurrencies saying that they are all fraud, is now "scared" somewhere in his heart and thinks he shouldn't say anything but left everything again with a negative comment saying,"JP Morgan moves trillions of dollars a day digitally. It’s not cash.” This guy should know that Bitcoin has reached a record market cap of above $86 billion, so trillions don't look too much far either.

BTG (or BCG) is going to be pre-mined and no matter what, a pre-mined coin is always used for developers' own economic and monetary funding purposes which is why they mostly fail due to the fact (and fear) that they might dump their share any time once the values suddenly start to rise. BTG is being said to possess 1/4th the price of Bitcoins' current value (means BTC0.25). Do you really think a pre-mined coin is worth it? They are not even ready with replay protection implemented over a coin that's just ~2 weeks away from being released. Everything looks shady on their side, don't fall for this - that's my advice for you.

Easy or not, but Golem had a great history in terms of value and it's extremely undervalued ATM and looks like all this is being done under the pressure that everyone needs to get their share of BCG and alts may start to pop up again once all the shit disappears. It's better to wait before everything settles because the blood bath may continue and you might sell your coins in panic. Wait for the best price currently. GNT is great in its Alpha phase and that, their use case of Blender Rendering provides CGI artists a much better experience through renting other users' resources. But the value of these coins is being deflated taking Bitcoin price hike into consideration, so let BTC go calm and then buy it.
