Bitcoin does not have a short period popularity. There are ups and downs like every market but it does not mean you can leave follawing the market and never come back. During bad times in 2018 many people give up and stop trading or buying but now they are regretful. Hodlers are always getting award of their patience. 

It is very for an ordinary person to spent 24/7 on computer and wait right price to stop the loss or take the profit. Majority of people may not like this kind of tools but there are considearble amount of people who would use it. Thus, it would be grate to have both tool at the same time even though this service is not offered recently.

I think, it is too early to compare crypto currencies with gold. Crypto currency market is not matured enough and the adaptation of crypto currencies to the traditional markets is not completed. After a few years of this realization, it is more sensible to make such comparisons in a few years with people experiencing the advantages and possibilities of cryptocurrency.

The year 2018 was a year in which many opportunities were offered in the crypto money market and many other enlightenments emerged. Even though the rate of earnings for Bitcoin and other crypto currencies is not very high, we have seen very good investment figures due to the low initial investment costs, but many investors were reluctant to invest in the fluctuating market. The investors who managed to enter the market at the right price and who took risks were fiished this year with notable profits.

It is really good see bitcoin goes up. There were many people on this forum who never give up to trust bitcoin. These people are now enjoying 5K prices of bitcoin. Hodlers are winning again 

Since a government's authority is very suppressive in every field, effect of government on bitcoin is tremendeous. Governments do not let adaptation of bitcoin without controlling it. Thus, we need to time to realize adaptation of bitcoin without losing its independence.

There are many people who use this platform and write their post from many different countries. If every person asked for to pay via bitcoin, it would make an improvement on adaptation of bitcoin. Since local firms don't follow recent developments, most of them even don't know what bitcoin really is.

What's wrong with wanting to be rich. Who doesn't want that. The real problem is that everybody wants it in a very short time and without any effort. Bitcoin isn't a lottery ticket. However, it is an investment tool for now and a currency that will be widely used in the future.

bitcoin's usage areas are increasing day by day and adaptation to all kinds of markets continues. Authorities will soon have to accept bitcoin as a currency.

Trading daily is a professinal's task and it is very difficult to be succesful. For example, a trader works in stocks market must have years of experience in order to have chance to make right decisions at the right time. Instead of pushing your limit constantly until you fail, being a considerable or realistic man does not make you feel a superman but keep you alive.

Some regulations can be implemented without harming decentralized character of bitcoins and these regulations has potential in order to help to strengthen bitcoin position in financial markets in a long term. This issue must be discussed in an open minded mode by people in a platform like this forum.

Not only adoption in payment and transactions but also acceptance of bitcoin by authorities is crucial for seeing a higher price than its ATH. Manipulators are actually making this process slow down for their short term interest.

Like bank ATMs, bitcoin ATM was robbed in mechanical manner. These people couldn't reach coins that are bought before via this ATM by people.  There is no need to worry about the technology of bitcoin ATMs.

Even after six years, I am glad you found your coins. Missing ATH price for you seems sad but who can't say that bitcoin never reach to its ATH in a few years again. Keep holding your coins like many people who are patient enough to earn a lot.

Even though a decentralzed system may not work ideally, it has a potential to work in a better manner when compared to a centralized system. It may take years to complete the restoration work of the decentralized system and to perfect it. It is very unlikely that we will have a problem if we observe our precautionary measures during this period.

These people are like politicians and they just say what people want to hear. Most of them are very experienced in manipulation of financial markets and they think they have the power to control cryptocurrencies but they are wrong. Crypto currencies are unstoppable.

Adoption of Bitcoin in payment or money transfer in traditional markets is a very complicated issue and needs to be tailored for each area. In addition, legal regulations need to be established. Of course, the issue of taxation is also a matter of contention. For many reasons such as these, slow progress is made in the adoption of bitcoin, but I think that this issue will be completely resolved within a considerable period of time.

The placement of Bitcoin ATMs directly by a huge bank is an important indicator of the fact that banks can no longer stand up to the market's demand, and that banks are seriously considering to work in the crypto currency market. I think there is no reason for us not to hear similar news about such developments in 2019.

What you're talking about is fundamentally against the principle of running a blockchain, and it's doubtful what its benefit which is obtained by doing something like that. Blockchain is registered on a lot of computers and it is very difficult for all of these records to be deleted or accepted to change by everyone.
