In my early days of trading i just wanted to make money as fast as possible and i never considered holding a coin for more than a period of 2-3 weeks. And most of then coin i had invested in earlier are at moon right now and are doing very well. I panicked sold some of the coins too i wish i hadn't done that.

It's definitely a better time to invest in bitcoin but I'd say that it's not the best time as bitcoin can further fall and if ever it reaches 3k-4k i wish that happens. That might be the perfect time to invest in it.
Looking at its current graph it might soon drop really low.

After looking at the slow transactions and high transfer fee rates. It is hard to say that people might be comfortable using it as a replacement to the local currency. Apart from these issues bitcoin offers anonymity which compensates for these issues but using it for day to day purpose might not even be considered as an option by the common people.

I had the same expectations and goals earlier when i started to know a little about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and how everything works. But as i got to know more about what exactly is this technology and what wonders can be achieved by this. I started to believe in cryptocurrencies that they can bring Revolution if the right efforts are put in and if it gets the required support by the people. It can really change almost most day to day things more easier and accessible.

Bitcoin is right now less considered to be the cryptocurrency to invest in because of its high price. People are just waiting for its price to drop and grab it. Accepted that other coins are more profitable, but it was due to bitcoin that people started studying and got to know more about those cryptocurrencies and bitcoin acted as a middle man to popularize cryptocurrencies in general.

I just wish that drop happens some time soon as I've been waiting to invest more in bitcoin when it drops further. I had sold all my btc when it reached 17k last year. And I've been waiting for it to drop real low to invest in it again.
I only wish so because we have seen in bitcoins history that whatever be the percentage of fall, bitcoin always seems to astonish people and the investors by regaining its original position. And that's at the top.

Investing in bitcoin right now wouldn't be a good option as it might fall anytime and that's the time you can consider investing in bitcoin so that you make most out of it. And ethereum is exactly where people should be turning towards, which they are. A few days earlier a big drop in the market was seen but that didn't seem to affect the price of ethereum much. It is one of the most stable cryptocurrencies and it might be advisable to see it as a long term investment.

I have divided my bitcoins profit like 60% of the profit goes in investment in new project and then 20% i like to convert it into fiat as a reward for myself. Ans when there is a price drop i invest more in bitcoin. So that i have a specific amount always invested in bitcoin.
I have many friends that have made a lot through investing in projects and I've chosen this strategy for the first time. So I wish  i have some luck too and make some money!

Indeed it is a good strategy but buy selling all your coins just after the ico ends is not that wise. Like if the project is really promising then the coins price might definitely rise after some time so getting just around 30% is not as good as compared to the profit you might get after holding but surely it is a quick way of making profits.

Maybe the mindless people who invested in bitcoin in its moon days when it was its rocking 17k-19k around value and believed in it at the wrong time maybe, they are losing money. But saying losing money maybe incorrect as there are high chances of bitcoin rising again making them good amount and recover the current temporary so called loss.

Bitcoin and ethereum are two complete different cryptocurrencies which were created for different purposes.
Bitcoin was created as a replacement for the local fiat currency. For the common people to have control over their own money and not rely on the banks for any transactions they make and be completely anonymous.
Whereas Ethereum was made for smart contracts.
Both the currencies are equivalently good and are doing best for what they were created.

Definitely, Bitcoins price will increase, even if it drops badly in the near future (which may occur soon by looking at its demand), People will start purchasing it and invest as much as they can increase its demand resulting in the rise in its value.
And there is still a lot bitcoin left for mining so it is clear that it might still rise as soon as there is an availability of it.

I'd recommend these alternate cryptocurrencies as these have personally made me around 115% profit over my initial invested amount. I had these cryptocurrencies for a long-term investment and that's the amount I've earned around 115% more.

• Tron (TRX),
• Ox (ZRX),
• Cardano (ADA),
• VeChain (VEN),
• Verge (XVG).

Until all the bitcoin that is ever available which is around 21 million. When all that is mined and the only thing left is to circulate the bitcoins between holders. Maybe then it would have stable price as per its demand. So, NO. Its price won't be rising forever.
But currently, it is just unpredictable as its demand comparably less right now and when it further dumps people will again rush buying it which will increase its demand and which will result in its increase in price!

You first Learn then you Earn. That is exactly what happens in trading. Research a lot before you actually start trading. Know what actually is trading, What makes a good coin a good project. Where investors get attracted the most and after you start getting a clear view of the bigger picture.
That, What exactly is trading, You are all set to rock in the market and start making profits by your knowledge and a bit of luck too!

Patience is the key here, You have made many mistakes until now, learn from them. You sell your investment immediately after there is a pump, avoid doing that, you somewhat panic sell. Try investing in some great alternate coins, I'd recommend Tron (TRX),  Ox (ZRX), Cardano (ADA), VeChain (VEN), Verge (XVG). Some of these have a high value but keep a close eye on the market and invest whenever its down.
Anyways mate, you'll get better. Don't repeat these mistakes again, choose some alternative cryptocurrencies of your choice to invest for a long term.
Good luck.

Bitcoin is a cryptoCURRENCY. And you need some wallet to store it. Private keys are your wallet. They help keep your bitcoin securely and spend it whenever you want.
As you need a normal wallet to store your fiat local currency. There are some hard wallets available like trezor, ledger which provide the facility to store your bitcoins in a hard wallet which is like a pen drive. It just adds more security to hold your bitcoin in a safer place.

You can always start with crytpo if not with bitcoin then others. You NEVER miss the boat. Bitcoin is not the only crypto to invest in other alternatives such as ox, tron, cardano are some really good options to invest in.
Bitcoin is not the only cryptocurrency that you are limited to. Expand your trading view and have options. Having options is always helpful.

Bitcoin really is replacing the local currency to some extent, i personally have purchased goods from overstock and made the payment through bitcoin. It was a fun experience and from that day i just wish that the transaction problems get fixed and i get to use this wonderful service more often.

I had sold my bitcoin when it was 17000$. I just really want to sell and that's what i did. I was knowing somewhere that it'll further rise but i was just too afraid to take the risk so i just prepared myself for settling on what I have rather than what i might have and sold my bitcoin!
It further rose but i was happy i made some profit!
