What is with these questions and threads? People are panicking over a drop? Why did you not panic when it grew to 20k$? That growth was unexpected and yet, people still were complaining when the price will rise again or even fall. In my opinion, bitcoin will rise again because it always does that and it always gives people hope again. So either you support it with its ups and downs or go invest in another altcoin that you are not aware of. At least bitcoin is trustworthy.
Well obviously people are not going to complain when the price skyrockets, when that happens everyone is happy since everyone is earning money and it seems as if bitcoin is unstoppable but when the bubble pops then that is when the real problems begin, and that is why we get all of those threads of people that are not happy that now they're losing money.

Normies probably bought in at the ATH speculating that they will double their money within a few months, but due to the crash they mitigated their losses and cashed out early. Can't say it was a bad thing as it did go down further, we should hope they do return and invest again at the right time - which as we all know is now!
I don't know if those that lost a lot of money are going to try to invest in bitcoin once again, first of all they probably do not have the money to do it and even if they did it is going to be very doubtful they are going to risk their money once again in something they know are completely incapable of getting any kind of profits, we will need to encourage new investors and with the market as it is right now that is difficult. I thought that they are frustating due to the volatility of crypto. When it comes down they are all pulling all of their money through cutloss their investment as fast as possible. Waiting for another green lamp from the regulators to the crypto and that makes they will be back again in the crypto. The reason I am doubtful of that is because if I were the one losing that amount of money I will be pretty mad for what happened and I am not so sure that I will trust another coin in the market, after all if the best coin was unable to give me any profits and instead give me a lot of losses what do you think it is going to happen if you invest in any of the remaining coins.

Not showing patience and sell my old bitcoins in panic. I just heard a news bitcoin start increasing so without losing any time i buy some bitcoins and store them in my wallet. Unfortunately some fork destroy the price i become panic and sell my all BTC. But no worries now i learn from my mistake. Now i always show patience and do not panic sell.
We all make mistakes that is an inevitable part of life and it is never nice to have to learn a lesson and suffer a very high cost because of it but it is even worse to not learn anything from it and by the looks of it, it seems you have learn from your mistakes now that you have done so you have a real chance to make a lot of money with bitcoin since the price is nowhere near to reach its full potential.

This issue is common to beginners in the bitcoin industry, And I won't blame you. A lot of us here started just like you. But to tell you this, the price drops are normal and are nothing to be scared or to be anxious of. The price drops would stop in a month or two, then it will rise again, just hold on to your bitcoins and wait.
This is very common among new investors no matter the market we are talking about, in the stock market people begin to buy all kind of stocks thinking they are going to become rich very rapidly only to discover that is not the case and that most of their stocks are losing money then they sell and they keep losing money, this is why holding is a must no matter in which market you are.

Hi guys , i will buy today some Altcoins worth of 600 dollar. no Bitcoin , no ethereum, no Neo. Is buying elixir or telcoin a good idea ? help me please
600 seems to be very low to me even with the current market conditions you cannot expect to make a lot of money with just 600, if I were you I will wait until I got a lot more money, but if you are already convinced about investing what I will probably buy will be elixir, to me it is the best of the two coins in which you are thinking about investing right now.

crisis is always coming but we as people we need prepared sometimes life is like a trading, is not about just win or lose but about how we can survive trough crisis
Well said, dude! Crisis is always round the corner, don't think the market ever gets stabilized. We we a little down when bitcoin sales fell off recently. Crypto economy contracted. But now it's risen again up to 5.9%. That's why as investors we must not put all our money in a single investment, Diversifying investments and investing some into Gold is a great idea so that in the case of a global economic crisis, You will have something to rely on. Gold is a good investment, but those that are investing in gold thinking they are going to get rich are just too positive, I'm pretty sure that if the economy of the world crashes and gold went up by a significant amount of money governments will create a special tax for gold holders, as you can see governments will change the rules as they see fit in order to benefit themselves this is why bitcoin is great it doesn't matter if they change the law to get your bitcoins they cannot actually confiscate it if they do not know you have it.

When you guys think that will be The problem is that many are thinking that the bear market is only because of bitcoin but the truth is that the whole market has been affected by the bears, so not only bitcoin is not growing but altcoins are not growing as well, having a more positive sentiment for bitcoin will help altcoins in the long run but not immediately as we have seen many times, when the price of bitcoin goes up the altcoins follow but a few weeks later and sometimes even months later.

I also chose a long-term strategy. But still sometimes I sell altcoins, when they grow 3-5 times and then to buy them cheaper. And I regret that I sold NEO for 10 dollars and could not buy then cheaper. That is the risk that you took with your strategy, you are going to be able to grab a lot of fast profits when coins go up rapidly in price, but you're going to miss the big bull runs of many coins, as you exemplify with the example you gave to what happened to you when you sold your NEO for a cheap price, personally I prefer the opposite I prefer to hold for a very long time and wait for my coins to skyrocket.

If only not for those scammers and people making projects but leaving it after taking large sums of money, this regulation issue shouldn't be here in the first place. I am just fine with regulations for as long as it is not destroying crypto and its decentralization system.
Regulations are never going to destroy cryptocurrencies and the decentralization behind them, regulations are just an attempt to curb adoption and to make it harder for a lot of people to avoid paying their taxes, that is all, as long as you're willing to pay your taxes regulation is not going to affect you that much and if you do not use exchanges regularly then any regulation is going to have minimal effects on you.

this study is true most of the rich people come from rich families. But there is still a chance for us to try and innovate to create new things that can make us a new rich person. Bitcoin has created many new rich people hopefully in the future bitcoin still exist and make the poor rich.
This is not true, those that are rich most of the time are rich because of their own effort, the families that are rich for a very long time are very rare because at some point the person that made all the effort to become rich dies and gives his money to his children which most of the time do not really know what was needed to do in order to get that money so they squander it.

They are indeed afraid to bitcoin because they don't think that the people will still stay to their side which is investing and putting their money on bank if they will know bitcoin because bitcoin is a better way of investing and it has a good place also to place and preserved our wealth because it is like gold that it is getting more expensive after a few years.
The only reason people still use banks is because they do not know any better, when people finally realize how much better is bitcoin compared to their services then when that finally happens banks will be unable to compete with bitcoin directly and that is when we will begin to see a lot more cries from the banking industry to ban bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general, and it is possible they will succeed but at that point people will not care and they will keep using bitcoin.

In my opinion, many people in the world know now, at the end of 2017 people know more about it. Many people know Bitcoin's name. It does not know how it works, how it works. Only those who are involved with Bitcoin know only. Now let's talk about my country. Here 5-8% people know about Bitcoin. More than 20% people just know the name, that is BTC. People in my country do not know very well, its main reason is that BTC did not get legal permission in my country
As long as they know what bitcoin is about they do not really need to know how exactly works since not many people are going to understand the math behind that, as long as they understand what it is the function of bitcoin and why they should adopt it then that is enough, if they know bitcoin is a currency that can be used as an investment as well, their knowledge about bitcoin is good enough.

Everything is possible in crypto world it's just their chance in making it happen makes them different from each other, consider also the situation. As of now, the chance of btc going back to zero has a very little chance. Look, do you think those investors who invested millions, time, and effort will allow it to happen just like that. Of course not.
Also it doesn't make a lot of sense for people to wish for bitcoin to go back to zero, after all, all altcoins are dependent on the price of bitcoin this is why when you see the price of bitcoin pumping up the altcoins follow immediately or after a few weeks, if the price of bitcoin crashes so hard to the point in which is at zero then it is natural to think that most if not all altcoins will follow the same fate.

For now I use bitcoin only for earning profit ( buy low, sell high). If we have stable bitcoin price we will use bitcoin for buying daily things , not for daily trading. Why will be better if price stable ? Example you get 0.12 BTC salary today worth $1000 and tomorrow will worth $800. That's why people don't take bitcoin serious right now.
If price would be stable, I will use bitcoin for spending daily for things I need.
Bitcoins will be useless if the price is stable because the only reason why people is keep on investing in cryptocurrency is that, the price is keep on increasing as the time goes by and that is the reason why bitcoins is good for long term investment. This is a mistake, the whole purpose of bitcoin is to be a currency what happens is that as any currency around the world it can be traded back and forth for other currencies as time goes by and people begin to adopt bitcoin and it is used as a currency its use as a trading tool will diminish and we will see people more openly using their bitcoins to buy what they want.

Those who cash out at the right time are taking profit, taking the money of those who invested at ATH. Those who sold while they are losing are probably not going and will curse crypto for the rest of their lives and that will give them no opportunity to gain anymore. I think the price today may stick for quite awhile so if they plan to buy back, they should start buying by now.
If the ones that invested in bitcoin have some experience with trading it is still possible they could choose to invest again but the reason of why I do not think this is going to be the case is that if they were that experienced they would have never invested when the price was clearly in the middle of a bubble and it would have been impossible for them to profit, so it is quite likely we are going to see the current prices for a long time and this can be good or bad depending on when you bought your bitcoin.

How can the world and the Govt of each nations survive if their tax earnings got cutoff?
Governments can survive but they will have to evolve into something else, governments will have to become really small, they will have to survive through tariffs and by lotteries, I know this may sound impossible but that is the way the government of the United States survived in the early days so we know it is possible, but you will have to live with a government that is incredibly small and personally I am fine with that.

My worst mistake was not selling my bitcoin at 20000 and then buy it again at 6000 if I did that I could have tripled my bitcoin and while I do not have a quantity that many will consider to be big, tripling my money that way it would have been incredible, in fact I could dedicate myself fully to earn bitcoin but I didn't did it as such I still need to find a way to earn more bitcoin.

Yes, will be back $19k at end of 2018?... I hope that, but i am not sure with a lot of bad news at this time.
Bitcoin will regain its price that is a sure thing that is why I do not understand all the people that are worried because bitcoin will recover, however what we really do not know is when that is going to happen, it may happen in some months, at the end of this year, or it may take even longer, and I do not have any kind of problem with that but I suppose that there are people that invested in December at the very top of the market and that will like to recover their money immediately but unfortunately they are at the mercy of the market.

Trading has always been difficult, if not, we would all be millionaires. If it seems difficult now it is because in the past few months everything continued to grow and it was automatic to make some money even for those who were incompetent.
This seems to be right, the previous bull market made very easy for anyone to earn money through trading and think of themselves as experts on the matter not realizing they were not the ones that should get any credit for their profits, anyone that invested in the beginning of the previous year made money, you did not needed to be a genius to do it but now things are very different.

Now I feel worried about the future of bitcoin and crypto in general because every time there was a price correction I saw most people are not worried about the price and they all had the same opinion about it, they all said to wait and hold your coins or buy new more, but now I see that there are different opinions about it, that makes me really afraid of what happens now.
is it serious guys that it is over or what?
Bitcoin is not over it is not even close to be over however you have become part of the market in some of the most difficult circumstances that we have seen in the last years so I understand why you're worried, maybe you are losing a lot of money by investing at the wrong time but whatever the case I would recommend that you look at the previous history of bitcoin and you will see a lot of crashes like the current one and bitcoin always recovered.
