When market falls very low this is the time that you should get your self ready for buying the coins. Do not just buy coins when values dropped because it might not be the bottom yet. You will lose if market goes down into a bigger dip. This happen last January to this month of april. It was very volatile and many just did panic selling to cut their loses.

People got disinterested in holding for the reason that they have experienced a lot of trouble with bitcoin dropping so much in value. Some had loses that they thought bitcoin will never rise in value again. And because of these, many feared holding coins is never profitable.

Well it is possible for these coins to really go close in sales. I could agree though that bitcoin will prevail in the competition because it is known and the most widely used so far. But don't belittle ethereum because the market is always unpredictable.

There are so many people like you who have been lucky enough with bitcoin and it is really life changing for them. What do not like only was that they change their attitude as well. They don't seem to help others and got too boastful of their money from bitcoins. Instead of helping others, they just laughed and bullied others who would also want to know about this opportunity. Its sad how money have changed them badly.

For now I don't see it being probably shutdown for whatever reason. For as long as bitcoin did not violate any legal issues within a country it will never be banned or stopped. Also note that other nations are now trying to accept bitcoins so the possibility of getting banned or stopped is no more than just any FUD. This ideas should not be given more weight.

It is really a problem for newbies to go for a panic selling given that they have made a mistake. Investing without looking for the possibilities could not be of any good in my opinion to other investors. The drop doesn't give an increase to bitcoin price but volatility and the opportunity for buying coins as others claimed. The result is that bitcoin value will never rise high enough because many would just repeat the same thing over and over again. Buy then panic sell, so the result is bitcoin price go up a bit then goes down back again even before you could ever gain. That is what I think was happening. Bitcoin is really slow crawling back to its previous all time high value. Which i think was way too far from happening in this manner.

Bitcoin is really helpful. I can see how it gave the hope to people suffering from financial problems. Not just money it help so many things as mentioned. But I beg to disagree that economic freedom is not really achieved. With bitcoin you are only given a chance to solve problems about money yet you are still within your country's economic condition whatever it is and hence you are still part of it. No freedom actually.

Your questions seems a bit deeper than what is just bitcoin. We all know money is a problem to many of us. It can be solved by investing and earning bitcoins. But honestly the problem of the world today is not just as simple as giving bitcoins or money. It is deeply rooted from centuries of unrest. War, Famine, Diseases and many other things that no money or bitcoin can solve. Love within is the only solution and the care for each human being. Do you care to? Hope many will do!

It is hard to control no chance at all. This is because people come and go to invest. Not unless if the total supply of bitcoin is far too big such that the ratio between supply and demand will is still a very big difference. But the value as well will be very low or small.

Altcoins could provide opportunities for a fast returns. Real properties may be a good investment but would take time before one will be able to gain unlike these coins when so lucky you could earn so easily, the only disadvantage is when market is down loses is also possible.

On my part I don't want to waste everything that I have. So I would start with a big plan. With a plan you will not waste so much effort and money. Companies before getting established needs a big plan. It would be useless to do things without proper goals. Look at the ICOs, its crowd or community funded, no money but with plans how to have money to sustain their project. Some are successful though some are not.

Signature campaign is a good way to earn btc. We also have airdrops. Since not everybody had the skill to share for services and get paid, Maybe joining bitcoin faucets will do. But certainly I do think there is too much hardwork to be put to it. The amounts given were very little such that you will feel exhausted and uninterested maybe for waiting too long until your bitcoin grows in value.

The difference in price signifies how useful the coins were to people. If it will be utilized, the more will be the demands for the coins thus increasing its price and the lesser people using it, the more supplies left unused, the lesser will be it's price. This idea is the same with gold. Had it happen that evrything on earth is gold nobody would ever be able to sell it high and it wouldn't be that precious.

Yes certainly a war can create economic problems or changes though an area or region may not directly be involved. Remember that every economy is interconnected and any little change in trading affects the whole.

It is good since you only need internet connection. The problem is what if someone hacked your cellphones or accounts on the net? Or the transactions you entered on a computer  that had been infected by a worm causes all transactions to be very slow and you are last in line of about some 30 persons going to the counter for payment. How will customers react on this? There are advantages as we knew to be veru good, while some are also disadvantages that people don't want to hear about. Maybe we need more development on this.

Just to update as of this posting, bitcoin still lives. It is not quite to its end. The market was just stable around to almost 7,000K$ so I think it will still go a long long way. It's rival altcoins had so far been making progress. But as I saw, in my opinion this doesn't change what bitcoin will be in the future.

Investing wisely is a simple thought that is very much harder to do. Investing even on a known ICO project or in trading better digital coins does not guarantee success. All is a gamble. The market and its exchanges are hard to predict. The only thing we can really do is to study and analyze the current condition or situations before really going into trading or participating in ICOs. This way we can prevent more loses.

Social media banned cryptocurrencies for this reason I know. There are too many scammers that have participated in the rise of digital coins. And the owners of the site were alarmed with the idea that there sites or pages are used for such a criminal act. Too many have been scammed. I think we need to solve scams first.

I agree that holding bitcoins really create the bubble you describe because once an investor sells his coins when price high, there will be changes in the ratio between supply and demand which results also in a change of price. And with no clear use for bitcoin volatity will always happen.

It depends on you. If you really want a long term investment then maybe you should just keep it for good. But should you want to have investments daily, weekly or just to keep it on short term maybe this ain't a good time to invest for me. The reason was that bitcoin had no development yet since it really dive at the bottom. So monitor the exchanges for the right time.
