Great man, (EXCEPT ME) everybody here was worried that whether you have turned a scammer. I was worried whether you were alright?
Dear mate, I would suggest you to please be very transparent with us next time if any such situation arise because there are many here who would not take it as a positive thing and your reputation may get compromised. Had faith in you because you had been the scam-buster, so I knew you would show up soon.
I would ask everyone to stay calm and deal with patience when we know whom we are talking about.

Edit: Haha, Decoded, you were right. Too many zeroes. 

The first part, you asked your grandma to put her savings in Bitcoins because the community said, right?
You were stupid. Whenever investing into anything, it's you who is/will be completely responsible for whatever the decision taken, so you should never blame it upon us first of all. Secondly, keep calm and watch it tight because Bitcoin has always gained after these losses over time, so never take any more wrong decisions in panic. China played the games and dumped it and not us, so why blame us? Just hold it hard.

They already took their action and are trying to make it more intense from their end by ending the mining era too (there are talks that China may be stopping mining activities too in the near future). This will surely affect the value at first, but everything will recover very quick out of it just like it did recently. But still, trading these days is just like walking on a two-edged sword where a single mistake could lead to the verge of going broke. I would say that don't quit it but do it safely because taking it casually could result in some serious damage to your capital.

What kind of bad news are you talking about? China's ban?
That was an old news and the price is being pushed down because all those Chinese whales are shifting their money from China to other countries as they don't want to stop themselves using Bitcoins. As well as once all this gets settled from their end, we will be seeing the best rebound of history. Japan's Internet Giant GMO plunged into Bitcoins with their decision to start mining it, do you think Bitcoin is an old school nowadays? It has gone BIG and now nothing can stop it. People say that it's nothing but a war between negative and positive speculation and I believe that's true, the more you believe & hodl, the more you will gain.

It is impossible to know that but there are signs, the same question was asked and I am quoting my reply from that thread:


It's better to buy small cap coins than larger ones, because it's easy for pump groups to pump those type of coins because they don't need much volume in BTC to do that and remember that they always look for the easiest ones. Buy any such coins and wait for your turn.

Rude or unreliable shouldn't be the words but irresponsible.
If they take you, you should at least complete the term once you are in because nobody intends that their users leave them in between if they are getting some more bucks elsewhere or whatever the damn reason is there. Applying on many places if you are not in any campaign already and then if you get accepted at 2 different places and then you do it, then it's not a problem IMHO. But if you are already in a campaign, you should at least let the manager know that you are going to leave that spot, (and to not let the terms deteriorated with them) then please continue that week/month with them as they are also trying hard to get you those chances where you get accepted and it's not loyal to leave them all of a sudden in a midst.

Altcoins, whether with a large or small cap, do have a future and read everything carefully to get yourself clarified over this.
Did you watch many coins which had volumes next to 0 on Trex as well as Polo and many other exchanges (I mentioned those which are popular) and got pumped to more than 20 - 100 and some even 1000x? Can you imagine how would it feel when you lose those coins few years back (just like many did with Bitcoins) and afterwards watch its price at incredible peaks?

I had 100k Korecoins in 2014 when price of a Kore was nothing as well as even BTC was 250. I decided to delete all the wallets I had in my PC. I was shocked to see that those "mined" Kores through my PC were worth ~200 BTC recently.

For those of you who really think they don't have a future? Think again. Coins which are new or old have definitely got pumped as well as they increase in values because sometimes developers or community try hard too much to push it up with their die-hard efforts.

Well why not?
I received some "extra" funds from a campaign manager once due to accidentally putting in BTC0.1 instead of BTC0.01 and they immediately contacted me the next minute they committed it. I agreed to pay the remaining BTC0.09 back to them without arising any difficulties for them. All it takes is honesty to deal with such situations and it's all a matter of honesty and greed only because for many, money maybe important but for those like me, trust is priceless.

There are many Expert Investors in their best genres who predicted $25k - $50k range to be touched nearby 2020. Where JP Morgan's CEO "exposed" that Bitcoins are too much overvalued, Fundstrat's Co-founder Tom Lee said that this would be no less than $25,000 in 2022 (as published in a recent news report), many from Wall Street said Bitcoin's value is 0 where big investors like Bill Gates and Winklevoss Twins as well as Tim Draper find it to be the most optimistic investment made ever through them. Don't listen to anybody, just let the charts show you the real painting.

I don't know which coins were undervalued when you started this thread, but I do have ideas for current timeline and I feel BTS has been sent down more then 8 times and it deserves a value of at least 6k and it is 2k atm, a coin which transacts at the highest speeds and confirms in seconds should not be this low IMHO. I gave a tip to investors to go for TKN, it did 43k. Now I would like to say that many low cap coins are being pumped at Bittrex, try your luck guys.

Replacing paper money should not be the question unless Bitcoin establishes itself as a "Global currency" all over the world and Governments start believing that they should really unite and use One Currency, All Nations policy. But to my thinking, this should not happen as if Bitcoins dominate paper money then there will be nothing to give value to it as well as it may be dangerous for altcoins too (as well as Bitcoins) because if Bitcoins end up everything, what would these investors look for? No matter how deep you think, everyone is here to make money over money (here: Bitcoins).

It feel really great whenever I take part in a debate that includes China nowadays. 
Actually yes, we may call this as an end atm because other countries are not following such harsh actions of China and doing what they want in their own insignificance towards China's bullshit bans. We should feel great that Chinese investors are still not leaving Bitcoins by "shifting" their money out of China to Japanese and Korean exchanges (according to news reports) and buying back Bitcoins. This shows that whether any government may interfere and shut down things off their country, but they can't kill the interest and enthusiasm we Bitcoiners have in ourselves.

I am not a job geek tbh, I left it years ago when I started using Bitcoins. It takes a lot of courage to do that and I did it and I never regret for my decision as it proved to be the best. For those who are still doing jobs, my advice would be to save ~5-10% of their salary in Bitcoins because it won't harm their portfolio but help them to retire early in the future. No kidding here when I say that, retirement is such a phase which never comes in most people's lives as they try to enjoy their lives after 50 but they don't, due to family issues, financial problems or whatever. But I think saving in Bitcoins could really help youngsters of today to retire early.

Rise already did more than 5x if you calculate when it started getting pumped from 1900 to a sudden price of 11k.
As everyone said, RISE still looks very cheap because things are looking good for the coin as well as the Core team's gonna do a Conference on 2 & 3rd October to have further discussions about more developments of the project. Stay tuned and if you have them, my take on this would be to hold and see a spike after 2nd Oct.

I have currently invested in Viberate tokens, one of the fastest ICO sale that ended in less than 5 minutes and I was lucky enough to get in. Not appreciating too much, but I can say that I am sure to get a 10 - 100x value for my investment because I can see the hype going and feeling really great for my decision to buy it. Other than this, all I have is BTC because I don't like to trade too much and I always redeem less profits, even if I bag in 2 - 5%, then that's enough for me in a trade.

The answer to your question - NO.
Why?
Because Bitcoin Cash took birth in such a situation where miners wanted to switch to a technology which could give everyone a better solution to their needs - FASTER TRANSACTION CONFIRMATIONS & LOWER FEES. BCH supporters thought they would get enough miners to support their project but the fact is that, only 5% of miners switched to it and the remaining stick themselves to Bitcoins because they liked the idea of compressing the transaction size instead of going for bigger blocks. Though, it is remarkable that it's still in the news as well as gaining attraction from investors too. There's a notable thing currently that there may be a trading opportunity in the upcoming week as BCH guys will be holding a conference. But Bitcoins are too good no one can resist having one and BCH still looks not more than a Pump and Dump coin.

Well I don't think that those days may come again because I recently saw something very surprising for everyone.
Even after China Govt's ban on Bitcoins and its ban extension to OTC trading too, Chinese traders have now been shifting their funds to Japanese and South Korean exchanges and where they are to deal with KYC and AML policies, they are trying their hands over OTC markets provided by Richfund. A record 74 million trading volume was seen in the past week when they decided to ban Bitcoins' trading, so this means that citizens are never going to listen to any governments anymore which is very optimistic for Bitcoins. Those levels were to be considered cheap where it fell hard, but I don't see any falls like this unless some other country's government gets a psycho attack and decides to ban XYZ thing to stop Bitcoins grow.

It's always a threat that came to my mind whenever I used to think about this.
I've always had the dilemma to see a country like China dumping off hard but they were helpless, but they must be considered as the most influencing factors which used to affect the price of Bitcoins due to their very active involvement in it. Bitcoins could drop hard once countries start to drop their idea of its acceptance and stop their citizens from using it, but I don't think it will be possible till many years from now because Bitcoin is still infant and has a lot to gain against losing its identity amongst everyone because there are still a lot of people who don't even know about Bitcoins yet.

Bitcoin could lose its price, but not VALUES.

I think that to give more value to Bitcoins and start using it as an actual "GLOBAL" currency, it's necessary to be used in that way.
People think that this is just an opportunity, a way to satisfy their hopes, their demands of making more money over their already invested fiat.
Do you know Tim Draper? He's the man who actively took part in all those seized Bitcoins' auction held in US and bought more than 50k Bitcoins at ~650 bucks (if I'm not wrong). Did he sell his coins till date? I think NO. Because he is fueling his own experimental projects with those Bitcoins as well as handling over few projects to his son too. Sharing is caring and investors never look for smaller profits, they make huge differences in the society with their decisions.

Guess that Chinese must be crying over their moves they tried to play all of a sudden and created an environment of panic.
The decline Bitcoin faced due to them was harsh but what was surprising to me and anyone here was the recovery in just days after it fell down. Your predictions for it to be under 3k became air when it started gaining hard after reaching to those dumping levels. Obviously there were many pessimists who wanted that everyone sell it and they buy the hell out of it once again, so I congratulate them who became wise and bought Bitcoins during its declining period. Guys, those who bought near 3k must be having 25% profit at least atm and feel pity for those who became part of the panic and sold off their hard earned coins under the influence of all this Chinese melodramatic act.
