For anyone who is panicking at the market-wide price drops, please don't! There is no reason to panic. Look long-term, don't look at price charts over the last week or month, look at them over the last year and see the pattern of rises followed by pullbacks... but the course is always upwards.

If you're new and bought in during December and now see huge losses... the worst thing you can do is sell now. Prices will increase in the long term. The current dip is just a correction to the wild excesses of last month. Don't panic!
If the prices you can see now are lower than the prices that you bought in at, then the best thing you can do is buy more. Why? This will lower your average entry price.
If you bought bitcoin at $16000 and see it now at $8000, the course of action is clear: buy the same amount at $8000, and your average entry point is no longer $16000, it's (16000+8000)/2=$12000.

Don't sell, buy!

I'm going to buy this:
1. BTC - 50%
2. ETH - 20%
3. Ripple - 10%
4. BCH - 10%
5. Cardano - 10%

What about you?

The merit system is not working, look the merit points of people on the forum, it does not move (even for the more relevant posts), the forum established a system which was suppose to penalize newcomers flooding the forum with useless post, but the forum penalize itself, good luck everybody, If you think people will give you merit points for free you are mistaken.

Hello Folk, is it the time for ethreum to lead from the front ? As bitcoin is going through rough ride along with other altcoins but ethreum is turning out to be more stable platform for investment and also new ICO's are based on ethreum. Do you think Ethreum will dethrone bitcoin from 1st rank of crypto this year?

Colleagues, advise any coin to invest $ 500 for 2 years. Particularly risky, which can give X100.

Any suggestions for coins that good to buy and hold for this year.

Anybody would please make comment why alts are decreasing sharply ? It is correction or there is another speculation ?

Hello guys,

Just a new thread to share on this requirement of Bitcointalk forum to increase in rank.


If you are not aware since last week, now you need activity points + merit point to increase in rank

So the main things and question is how to get those Merit points, since the number of Merit points required is just huge.

In my case I was 1 to 3 weeks away to get to Full Member status..  But now I need 90 Merit points to reach this status.

Even if I post a lot and I am very active in Bitcointalk, my experience since he implementation of the merit points is that you barely never get points from
others... I tend to think people keep point to share to their friends but not actually to people who share somethiing interesting


What do you think is the best startegy to get the Merit point missing to increase in ranks ?

I'm not too sure about this new merit system.  Although these boards have been getting a lot more spam, it will be much more difficult to level up your bitcointalk account.  Most people are not even going to bother and give out merit to quality posts.

What are your thoughts, do you like the new merit system?

Be patient, bittrex already shows up the wallet (but still under maintenance)
They will start trading this week (if information is correct)

hey guys ...

suppose you invest 10k in crypto

at what stage would you consider getting out and taking your gains ? if you 10x ( 100k )

or are you very very LONG on this ?

ethereum in 2 weeks went from a mere 770$ to 1400$,
it actually doubled it self,and now most of the major cryptos are facing corrections do you think ethereum would reach 2000$ or would it again stabilise around its previous value?

Hey guys,

So I know I need to do my own research before investing in anything, and I plan to continue to do so.

However, I am very confident in the Crypto market in February ongoing and am planning on wiring over $20,000 USD tomorrow to invest.

I would like to hear some suggestion on what to do with that. I plan on taking each of these suggestions and doing some serious research on them, but I need a good place to start.

Two coins I see at least rising a little bit once we officially get out of this dip are XRB and DRGN.

Let me know your thoughts and suggestions. They will be much appreciated!

ICO is alive and will live still for a long time. Nowadays it's hard to get into a good ICO. Whitelist registration closes fast, in the same way as pre-sales. You need to be agile

I think now or in one week is the best time to buy some altcoins so it will be nice do discus which to pick for 2018. I'm looking right now only for alts in top 20 but I believe there is a good hidden projects in top 100 too.

I've invested already in
 
ETH - very stable but I don't expect massive gains 2x - 5x for this year
XRP - 50/50 a lot of FUD it may blow up this year or just may reach 2x - 3x and end
TRX - looks good, team is good, a lot of announcements, good roadmap but may be a little overvalued right now I think to hold it for a while and to see

Now I do some paperwork and think to invest in some of this but they are all in top 20:
XLM
VEN
EOS
NEO
ADA
QTUM
ICX

Every shared information will be welcome.
Thank you and good luck to all!
