In my opinion, with no objection, is Bitcoin. There is currently, no any other coin that seems to close up on Bitcoin. This is why it stands a great long-term crypto coin investment.
Holding of coin is better in long-term trading whenever the coin takes time to recover its price and gives us a fine gap between our cost price and selling price. Those coins which do not show any gap or less gain price are not best for holding but you can make short-term trading with those coins. Bitcoin is better in long-term and holding of it will result in big profit only if its price increases and you sell it. |

This and other questions are part of a questionnaire that we, a research team from the University Institute of Lisbon (ISCTE-IUL) are doing. It seeks to understand the drivers' usage of cryptocurrencies by the end user such as you and me. Considering 10 different dimensions, from perceived usefulness to privacy to profitability, among others. It takes on average 3 minutes to answer.
Here is the link for the questionnaire: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/cryptocurrencies_usage More details if you want to know more about it:For this, it was created a questionnaire with Likert type scale questions. These dimensions will then be used to construct a model, based on the traditional Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) developed in 1989, and some others developed afterwards, but with more adapted to the cryptocurrencies ecosystem. Then it will be done some data analysis and compilation of results. This questionnaire has some focus on the financial area, but this does not mean it is the most important. We know there are some other dimensions not being addresses in this questionnaire, such as decentralisation/government influence, that may be addressed in the future. After analysing and publishing the thesis and papers I will post on this forum with infographics and the most important conclusions of the study. There are no open questions, but you can post here or message me about this. Thank you for your time! Best Regards, The University Institute of Lisbon research team I would have loved to fill out your questionnaire on Survey Monkey but it wouldn’t make any sense cause I wouldn’t get any reward from it and may times I have tried to answer surveys on that site after answering to a certain limit it would say not meant for your location or not for you or whatever they say, and it’s really annoying, why waste my time when you would later tell me it’s not meant for my location? So I’m never clicking on that link, makes no sense. |

I drink Starbucks daily. I would love to see this. I can't imagine using Bitcoin in a scenario like this. If this happens and other retail outlets are forced to compete Bitcoin will be accept around the world almost instantly. Very exciting. I hope it happen soon.
Thou, bitcoin is known around the world, all I can say is that we should still preserve this kind of stuff. Not everything can be handled by bitcoin. It is good to innovate but come to think of it, old habits die hard... I think that it will be a big change for the customers.. Yes it’s a very good plan and nobody would like to be left behind and they will all like to make use of Bitcoin, but where the main question comes in is how many of them are ready to buy Bitcoin just because they want to be buying Starbucks when they can easily just go with cash and buy what they need? This is what I’ve been thinking. And those of them who wants to buy it, when they hear that Bitcoin is volatile, they might just lose interest. |

hi I am new here..So I am start a trading in different market place.. can you give some tips about trading.now which exchanger is best for trading?
Starting with the exchanger you should trade with, I will suggest that you start with the top exchangers like Binance, Bitfinex or OKEx, make your choice from the three or maybe if there is any other you like you can go for that if you think it is better. And as for tips on how you can trade I will first tell you not to involve your emotions when it comes to trading. Next thing is to never assume that a falling coin is an opportunity, cause sometimes it might take years. |

In my opinion, buy fast and see fast can not be done easily because you can not predict the price accurately in a short time.
This strategy is not valid here in the crypto market especially in the Bitcoin because if you have ever noticed from many experiences we have seen that Bitcoin is a long term source and here you will have to wait for months in after buying coins. On the other hand, there are little possibilities of buying fast and selling fast in short term so you will have to look for short term sources like Litecoin and few other but profit using this strategy of fast buying-selling will be small. |

Several years ago I asked in these forums about how I could buy several hundred thousand dollars worth of bitcoin. It became obvious, back then, that it would be a nearly impossible task. I would have faced sanctions by my bank, I would have moved the price and I would have had to deal with a mysterious Japanese company called MtGox.
In the end, I sadly took no action.
Everything has changed. It is now 5X easier to buy bitcoin. I am now a regular buyer of bitcoins. I don’t care that the price is 10X or 100X what I could have had them for.
So why am I buying now?
Exclusivity
Firstly, there will never be more than 21 million bitcoins. There are more millionaires than that. I like to own something that not every millionaire will be able to own. It’s exclusivity. I own something that has a limited supply, so not everyone can own one, but I’ve got lots of them.
I don’t need to ask permission to spend them
Secondly, I like the fact that bitcoin is “permission-less”. I won’t ever have to ask permission to spend or use my bitcoins - not that I plan to use them. Everything else I own (in the form of financial assets) is in the hands of a bank or a custodian. I can’t spend my money without permission from my bank or credit card company.
Bitcoin can’t be “frozen”
If a business deal goes wrong, if someone sues me, if a future wife divorces me and says “I get everything”, if I am friends with a sanctioned political leader - because you survive by being on the side of those in power, - if, if, if, if....... so many things might go wrong. I could wake up one morning, and find my bank accounts frozen, and my credit cards don’t work. They can’t ever freeze my bitcoin. The code is in my head.
What’s wrong with cash or gold bars?
The most obvious disadvantage with cash is that it is being de-valued all the time. It’s great to own for a year or two, but in the long run it’s going towards zero. Secondly, they change the colour and design of the bank notes every few years. You have a limited time to change old for new. Then, if you are changing more than a small amount, you have to start answering questions and providing documents. Lastly, you can’t cross the border with more than 10’000 dollars or euros in cash without filling in forms, which could lead to another line of questioning.
As for gold, it also is difficult to transport without customs declarations. Gold bars or coins are not easily divisible into smaller sizes.
I don’t know if this guy is still keeping his Bitcoin till now cause there is a price difference between what he bought then and now. Anyone who bought all this while that price has been down to $6000 is really luck and should keep it. $6000 seems to be the lowest that price will ever be before the next bull run that will take place, although I don’t know when that will happen. December is already approaching and I don’t know if there will be any bull. |

We had a huge pump in 2017 which did not last for even 2 months. But look at the growth trend from February 2018. Though the price fall of bitcoin was drastically huge, it just stayed above $5000 which should be noted closely. I like this growth trend and wish this continues. Such trend will seriously bring in strong and healthy investors into the crypto market. We would certainly and undoubtedly reach minimum $25K by end of 2020 not falling back to below $20K. Kindly bring out your thoughts on it.
And so what? Assuming I say a slow and steady growth, what would you do, cause the market to start having a slow and steady growth? Makes no sense asking the question cause everyone here has different opinion in their mind. Even if you decide today to do things that will help the market have slow steady growth, the whales will find a way to alter that cause they are interested in is pumping the price and dumping it for their personal gains. |

Which one would you prefer or best to earn? As far as i have come across, crypto is the best platform to have good earnings. We have many who have a good experience on it and still into it without a regular job. Many have left their main job after experiencing double income from crypto. Many have become millionaire and have changed their lifestyles. Which one would be the best to have good crypto earnings?
Online gambling is not like offline gambling and devs can decide to put things in favor of themselves, but whatever, it does happen even in offline unless you can find a trusted site. I wouldn’t choose gambling, cause it’s not my thing, I’d rather go for trading and campaign. Those two are things I can combine easily and also earn from the both of them. Campaign is easy cause all it takes is your contribution. Then as for trading you will be going through training to know how it works, cause it’s not easy. |

It is obviously obvious that only Bitcoin has such a mission at present. It is not possible to circulate it in the future, but the value of coins in circulation is determined by Bitcoin.
I do not think that this can be accomplished because of so many reasons. I do agree that Bitcoin is widely used in many countries but it is still not adapted and accepted by a big portion of the world. Moreover, it is in recession right now because the market is down and to be on the safe side, people prefer not to invest in the currency so it is not possible to have Bitcoin as a Global Currency however it will be possible to have it as an international and global currency in a decade or two. |

Ico investment risky because not good price as the ico team and owner promised after getting and listing at exchange market, many ico after success at ico sale list with drop and lower price at exchange market.
There are types of investors that are the risk lovers, the risk averse and the risk neutrals. Among the three, the risk lovers would go to invest in ICO if there is more return n future at the cost of less risk. The risk averse and risk neutrals will not invest because they prefer returns and not risk. So these are the guys that think investment in ICO is risky and this is very logical as well because generally investment is determined by the history of returns and since many people have lost to ICO lately, they now prefer to refrain investing again. |

I believe that now the market is in the phase of set of positions by large players, as soon as positions are set, a catalyst will be created for growth and we will see this long-awaited growth.
when big players decided to invest their money in crypto market,this bearish trend could end soon.but unfortunately there is no good news that could attrack them. This is an open secret that the market is always influenced by the big players and same is true for the crypto market. We have these ups and downs in the market just because of the whales playing for their own interest. People holding big amounts of Bitcoin do have the ability to exercise the power and make the market favorable for them. This bearish behavior could come to an end upon the inflow of a big investment that counts to billions of dollars and this can push the market towards perfection again. |

Cashing out is the main purpose of cryptocurrency for me! But as time goes by, I learned that I can pay my bills, save money from my bank account and buy load using my earnings in cryptocurrency. As of now, I saw a news came from LYL which gave me an idea to use it when I will buy something that accepts LYL. Hm. There are many usage of cryptocurrency, specially nowadays.
Thats interesting, can you tell us which country you live in and what kind of bills you can pay? I havent heard about this option yet. We can use crypto apart from trading as a payment mode and this usage takes place in many countries besides which it is best recommended as long term investment for investors to place their money here that is generating huge profit for them. Furthermore, crypto currencies are using in banks across Germany as payment of loans besides this use we can get more benefits from it if governments create more opportunities regarding crypto currencies. |

We are in the last week of may and you want to sell your crypto and buy them low in June. What if June your sold crypto start to increase and you need to buy it at higher price than you bought earlier.
Well things had been different back in May and this is the end of October. The situation right now cannot be explained by explaining the past phenomenon. However in June the price of the coins had been very down as well so all those who invested in June had been good investors. So this suggestion might have worked for some individuals out there as well. Besides, there is now a bit of rise in the values of Bitcoin in general and crypto in particular. |

I personally profer Forex trading even more than stocks.
Stocks is actually an interesting market to trade but it is somehow limited in a way, so you may not really have much access to it. Forex on the other hand is another market that has been on for a very long time, and as long as you know what you are doing, combining the markets you can handle all together is not always a bad idea. What is important is for you to always be able to make quality decisions whether as an investor or as a trader so you do not get to lose all your investments in the long run and it takes knowledge to be able to achieve this which if you do not make a priority, you will have yourself to blame for how things turn out eventually. When it comes to trading out side crypto, it can be anything that you can make money out of. Depends on how much capital you have to invest and start trading with. Big gains could also be earned by stepping into the auction market. Businesses like real estate are very famous for imparting millions to your current account. Literally invest in any business that you feel you can earn with it. Eventually everything boils down to the profit margin that you can earn. |

Just wondering if ETH can
In my perception regarding to Bitcoin it is a digital currency or called a currency that's the reason why some bitcoin experts said that Bitcoin is possible to become a world currency, while Ethereum was a platform where you can create smart contract thru new token that will use its platform. So I don't think Eth can surpass the value of Bitcoin, it can be next into bitcoin. This is one nice condition for Eth to be the future Bitcoin like king if Bitcoin ended. But this is not realistic and is rather an unrealistic assumption. The life span of the technology is always determined by the advancement that appears as the time passes. Constant up gradation in the features is more than important. However the truth right now is that ETH is down and we might need some good time to get it recovered. And I do not think it is justice to compare it with a coin that has been accepted around the world with huge demand and great market cap. |

It is unlikely that you will be helped by any advice, the best thing that can be healthy emotions! No need to hold back Want to worry, rejoice! Anyway, no one can get into your head and change something without you!
When it comes to earning money and dealing emotions, you should do one thing. Either focus on business or pack up. Business needs a sharp and strategic minded man and you would be unlucky to enter the crypto business and leave it due to inability to control your emotions. Better stay focused and do not get distracted by this thing which are free of cost and does not do any benefit. Besides, you can deal with it if you are being strict to yourself. |

Ethereum has a huge upside, coin once worth above 1.5k dollars each and right now its about 200 dollar levels and nothing major changed for the coin and it is even better than it used to be and the only reason why it is not going high again is the market, everything else is bullish on ethereum except the market.
As soon as market trend goes up again ethereum will have a huge spike because there are a lot of people expecting ethereum to go up and the miners will stop selling their ethereum after a while which means price HAS TO go up so that people would start selling again.
Stellar has also built itself a great market with the content writing and with the content world of crypto being heavily influenced by stellar I think the world of content writing in crypto space will have to fight to death until stellar worths something again because they are losing more and more money by the drop of price for their works.
Well all the coins that you are holding right now should not be traded. The market is too thin for that. You might not even earn your initial price and a loss is never better than a good future profit. So better hold your coins and wait till we have a nice market. The advantage of long holding is something that you do not get to avail in case you are trading in the thin market. These are some of the facts very common to everyone out there and this is the only reason behind why these people are still holding their coins. |

I am now seeing twitter alive with people giving away coins etc
Say what? If people are giving away bitcoin, let me know when and where. People have been saying bitcoin is dead probably since day 2 of its existence. Don't pay any attention to them. Right now it's sitting pretty at just about $6500, and that's much higher than what it was in 2015 when I first bought bitcoin. That's a hell of a gain, although not for me since I didn't buy at that point and hold it like I should have. Hindsight is 20/20. Don't mistake bitcoin for the rest of the crypto market. There are way too many coins on the market, and most of them are destined to be in the Yobit 1-satoshi graveyard in a year or so, maybe sooner. Nobody is ever going to use shitcoins for anything other than trading, and most of them aren't even going to be useful for that eventually. In fact, if you take a look at all the coins that are offered on exchanges like Yobit, you'll see that many of them have ZERO buy orders, so even if you held a huge amount of shitcoin X, you'd never be able to sell it, even for 1 satoshi. They're totally useless. I do think a crash is coming, but not for bitcoin. What's going to crash is the ICO market, followed by altcoins. Once people finally wake up and realize there's no reason to own any of them, they'll sell and the price will tank. Don't know when that's going to happen, but I'm nearly certain it will eventually. I agree with you. I would not think these posts you saw were legit, no one in the right mind would give their coins away for free. AND, no this is no the end of crypto!!! Though the forum is great for sharing ideas and gaining knowledge but somehow in the course of discussion, I find unauthentic and free of wisdom comments for their own personal interest which should not be practically applied in business otherwise one can incur loss. This is the reason why we should not believe everything we go through. Besides, crash in the crypto market is not the end of the world, for it’s a cyclical phenomenon that repeats over and over again. |

for now in 2018 I suggest you can invest and buy as many XRP coins as you can because I see this year there will be a good development from XRP maybe the price can go up again and can be very expensive so you should be able to prepare assets you are XRP.
I bought some XRP last year. and this year they drop 60% less. I bought each for 1$ and now that is 0.4$. so I am at lost at the moment. I don't think it'll increase very soon. so my investment is locked until it recovers. and if I sell it now. I'll be in 100% lose. In this year, you can say it the year of down market as we are observing the ups and downs below 10k market price and sometimes t gets stable between 6k and 7k dollar price. So, in such conditions you have to invest here in the Bitcoin and not somewhere else if your savings are enough to get the Bitcoins so as to get it low and to sell it high later. If you desire for short-term then you should not invest here but try out there in the Litecoin which is best for short-term. If investor wants to go for a long term investment then there is no good choice other than the Bitcoin. On the other side, Ethereum has also a slight character of long term and people are also investing in it so as to get huge profit but still Ethereum is many times lower in price than that of the Bitcoin so ultimately its profit will be low. Now, for short term the best coin so far considering is the Litecoin which generates profit early for you but that will be low profit even lower than Ethereum, you can see price difference in both. |

Thinking with the rise of Crypto, it's the safe heaven for us, the normal people. I think communities, countries, specific groups of people will make their own currency (and also money) out of thin air, and this is how our societies will function soon. But that doesn't necessarily mean that cash will go away, I think people are attached to cash a lot and it's a different feeling when you have cash.
The existence of crypto itself is very helpful and makes our future more organized, especially in terms of their personal economic aspects. does not rule out the possibility that in the future if crypto itself develops better, it will be used more for legitimate payment systems and will be able to replace cash in real terms. Yes, I agree with you, indeed for now, cash is still everything for people in this world. This is necessary for countries or people to adopt a source of high potential in order to obtain strong economic conditions for it needs to be improved because there are lots of works to perform for which economic conditions should be strong. A country with poor economic conditions cannot run properly that is why sources of high potential have great importance in this regard. Countries have eyes on digital technologies especially the Bitcoin for usage on different levels in order to build up economy. |
