Hi there,

I personally think Altseason is starting soon. We have been in a bear marker for such a long time and Alt season is lurking.

BTC dominance is trapped in a descending triangle for a long time now. Testing the support and resistance trendlines multiple times.

The year 2020 is shaping up to be a pivotal year in Bitcoin’s history, culminating in its history’s third halving, scheduled for May. This occurrence will be paired with economic and political developments to create perfect conditions throughout the year for a very significant rise in Bitcoin’s value.

You probably know that, but I’ll still remind you: Bitcoin is indexed to the cryptocurrency market. Therefore, if Bitcoin’s price increases sharply in 2020, the whole cryptocurrency market will rise. Not all cryptocurrencies, however, will see their prices rising in the same way.

The challenge is to predict that cryptocurrencies the most attractive price rises in 2020 will be expected. In what follows, by presenting you with the 6 cryptocurrencies to buy for 2020 and beyond, I try my luck.

1. Bitcoin (BTC)

I’m not going to be original to begin with, but quite efficient. Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency I suggest purchasing for 2020. For Bitcoin, 2019 has been an excellent year with a score of +100 percent so far.

The dominance of Bitcoin in the cryptocurrency industry once again surpassed 65%.

Some say Bitcoin has been obsolete technologically, but it has never been so powerful. Block by block, Bitcoin is still moving forward and will continue to do so in 2020. The expected halving in May 2020 as well as unstable political and economic conditions should make it possible for Bitcoin to return to the peaks reached by the end of 2017.

If you want to make a profit in 2020 with cryptocurrencies, you need to buy Bitcoins. In a few months, the current price of $7,400 is likely to be seen as very cheap.

What's your opinion?

Recently Brett Sherman was nominated to chair of Investor Protection, Entrepreneurship and Capital Markets. He will surely have the power to influence bills that can get introduced into Congress. He has been incredibly anti-bitcoin and will surely try to pass bills that will stifle the growth of the industry. Also recently BIS head has been advocating Central Banks begin to use digital currencies for themselves. This will surely play out as a way to out-compete crypto.

Discussion: How can they community rally together for what is to come? Are we ready for when governments restrict / sanction any capital flow into exchanges? How prepared are we for these things?

I dont think there is any chance for any altcoin when bitcoin is fluctuating like this. The panic drops are too many these days and whenever we see a hit to bitcoin, we see more sumps of alts. Its better to stay away from alts right now.

By 2030, the demand for alternative currencies will rise, with digital currencies eventually replacing cash, according to recent research from Deutsche Bank. 

What do you think as a Crypto Expert? What are the challenges? What things should be adopted to replace fiat?

I spent most of my time doing research on many altcoins, their old price to the present value and i find out that even if you sell your tokens today leaving few tokens worth few dollars for many years can worth something. For example if you left 9$ worth of bitcoin in your wallet since 2012 you would never have imagine what it will become today, in jan 2017 you can buy 5000 pieces of Ripple at 0.007$ which costs 35$ and in jan 2018 a XRP cost 3$ which turns 15000$, there are many examples like this on CMC, remember Tron too? My point is its bad selling off all your coins, if you needed money that bad always leave coins and tokens worth of few dollars left in your wallet just in case

I think as a beginner/newbie in trading cryptocurrencies, we ought to have some platforms, guide or something that can help us in our trading activities. Some of my friends and colleagues said that I should look into trading tools or the likes of it. Like this MintFlint that they are recommending to see. But I dont think I can manage to know how to use those platforms and it looks really dumb to begin with. What do you guys think? Should I? And if I should, what do you guys recommend?...

The question is why do some people generalize all Altcoins as bad? considering there are over 3000 of them out there. One would not have the time to go through each project one by one. to analyze the project. team etc everything behind each crypto project.
There has to be some project out there under good intentions. Not all projects could be a scam. I admit I only have a top 4 i consider when it comes to best coins. But yet many should be decent at least honest projects out there. Afterall we do need more projects. more quality projects out there in order for crypto to succeed.

your thoughts

I realy want to buy Bitcoin i have 5000$ give good idea plz

This is not really a new scam but not many users are aware of it. On Reddit, it was discussed extensively, please be enlightened  and secure your BTC. https://www.cryptoinfowatch.com/hackers-are-using-clipper-malware-to-steal-bitcoin-from-users/

I've been annoyed by the application of the term 'cryptocurrency' to Bitcoin.

There is a distinct difference between Currency and Money and these terms are not interchangeable:

Currencies do not have intrinsic value (i.e. fiat paper money, promissory notes) and by extension, are poor stores of value.  There have been thousands of currencies in existance, all have become worthless because there is no intrinsic value to support the price, instead currencies rely on its users to give it value.  As a consequence many currencies may have fallen with their empires succumbing to regulatory bans, some have died simply because its users did not deem it worthwhile to use and I have no doubt a significant portion are hyperinfalted by their central authorities out of existance.

Money on the other hand has intrinsic value (i.e. gold and silver coins), a gold coin from ancient Eygpt still retains the same purchasing power today.

Bitcoin falls into the category of money, its intrinsic value is supported by its scarcity, verifiability, fungibility, portability, durability and divisbility.  While it might not be 'tangible' and useful for physical use cases like jewerly, it also has benefits Gold does not offer, for example, instant settlement of any amount of 'money' over long distances. Further, no central authority can print bitcoins into existance.  Bitcoin has also become a legitimate store-of-value which can be attributed to its supply cap and emission schedule, its been profitable for 94% of its existance and has not lost its purchasing power which would be consistent with the traditional definition of 'money'.

All-in-all I think it is incorrect to call Bitcoin 'cryptocurrency', it should be 'cyptomoney'.

Thoughts?

well, it seems like France will also launch their own cryptocurrency next year. it's funny that just year ago they despise cryptocurrency(article about it) and now they are launching their own cryptocurrency
and even teaching high school students about cryptocurrency(article about it) and preparing them for it. how things have changed in just a year

I'm about to go to bed so I can't look at responses right away but dealing with this has caused my family to become separated, my hair to fall out and has caused me and I'm sure other traders enormous amounts of stress dealing with someone or something treating bitcoin like it's a game of attention.

I thought I'd share my story and my experience of what I've had to go through dealing with bitcoin since 2013.

I bought bitcoin at near 1000 dollars or something around 2013 and then went to college and it crashed to 300 dollars (wow totally normal for the old market).

I then sold my bitcoin and didn't get any profit and then it proceeded to constantly go up after that.  I moved on like a man though because I realized I had things to learn.  Later on though I got back into it early in 2017 nearly full time.  I began to -try- to learn how to deal with the market instead of acting like it was mortal kombat.  Treating the market like a game to fight people is literally a felony if the market isn't working and everyone knows it's wrong to go a certain direction.

Ever since the spike in 2017 to $20,000 things got out of hand though.  Since July 2017 (and I've contacted the SEC,CTFC, and attorneys over this) bitcoin has been getting pushed forcefully to go higher than it needs to faster than it needs to when the market isn't there.

The problem lies in that people don't believe that there is actually a person/trader/ or exchange that was actually capable of doing something like this for this long since it costs millions of dollars per day.  
The market got different in 2017 after it got to 3000 and ever since then felonies have been committed nearly every single day to try and force the price upwards whether or not the market is ready.  Now we/I/you and the community are seeing the aftermath of the psychopath who thinks it's their job to "punish" people for selling bitcoin and it hasn't stopped since then.

I made over 10,000 dollars doing it right when everyone was ok with the natural market when it went up AND down (without getting harassed) but now it just doesn't work.  This isn't bragging, this is just a fact.  I learned how to do it right and I did well.  (yeah I sold bitcoin sometimes instead of buying it)

EVER SINCE THEN though, it seems like THE ENTIRE internet is trying to FAKE their way into doing what I did.
This has really gotten out of hand and I expect people to do something about this.  I shouldn't have to be calling attorneys at my age (but I am).

Bitcoin as a currency that is decentralized, they is no Headquarters for Bitcoin and it has no Central office where they distribute information concerning Bitcoin, Like illicit transactions that money was lost but recovered after some investigations through the distributed information.

like someone said on my previous thread that more people will be comfortable using bitcoin if these features comes into place.

Share your thoughts.

Considering the safety of your coins and the simplicity of staking process, do you stake in centralized exchanges or you consider using crypto wallets that supports staking like imtoken, trust and atomic wallet.

Where do you stake?

In red market its always a good idea to dump once you get the chance because many new projects are just failing even IEO projects dump after few weeks to month of trading but its still better to keep few coins because of tomorrow, no one knows what will happen for sure, but presently take out your profits as soon as you can, if this continues no new project will be spared and its thing that developers needs to start implementing something that will keep a coin or token at a good price, we are in dump season

Today the world is celebrating the GivingTuesday, the international day of charitable giving.

This is the right occasion to support some charities that accept Bitcoin and foster the adoption: CryptoGivingTuesday

All of them accept at least BTC, some also other cryptocurrencies.

Long time ago, on Bitcointalk there was a list of crypto charities, but it's good to see that today the ecosystem is embracing nonprofits from all over the world and big names are onboard now.
Which is your favourite one?

maybe SATOSHI is dead and BTC is at mercy of GITHUB developers, owned by blockstream
