I prefer A) small weekly increase, because this kind of movement is more stable than the others making it the best choice (I think so). C and D sounds good but could be a disatrous one, remember what happened last December? It's just like that. Btc soar higher and higher that time and then suddenly collapse like a roller coaster which reach the peak of the rail and fall down rapidly. With this situation, you only have one shot to earn profits (lots of profits possibly) but if you missed then I'm so sorry you'll have to wait a lot of time before the trend recovers again .

I'm from the Philippines and I'm proud to say that I can enjoy all of my bitcoin earnings (all crypto as well) here without having tax deductions . Our government didn't state any law concerning about crypto regulations so we can conclude that we can be able to use it freely without facing rule violations. Cryptocurrency is not illegal here and not legitimate as well ~ just in the middle but much more on the positive side.

Just to be clear, this doesn't mean that our government don't care about us (crypto holders) actually they do. They never fail to give us tips and a friendly warning on how risky this kind of business is.

Each one of us has a different strategy on investing so a particular investor could consider all of our recommendations. There are no bad suggestions at all so his choice will just depends on his preference. 

But if I were ask, I always go to Bitcoin and Ethereum with 50% allocation each.

Do you mean a board or really a thread? Whether which one you are pertaining, one thing is for sure - making any of the two is not necessary anymore. Lots of threads already existed here and Merit System is not a broad topic that's why it is not qualified to have a board.
That happened before when Merit System was recently implemented, there's a time when almost the whole first page of meta was all about merit discussions (so ridiculous, right?). But now, can't you see that our Meta already came back to normal? We get over this already and you should too.

What!? 'Di naman sa nanghuhusga ako pero grabe naman "kawais" (just an irony) nung taong ganun. Kahit gaano ka pa ata ka newbie sa isang bagay, meron tayong money sense na taglay so parang imposible naman ata mangyari na may taongb bibili kaagad pag mataas ang presyo tapos ibebenta pag mababa na. But if ang point mo eh may newbie na nag-invest sa crypto whether sa mababa o mataas na halaga tapos binenta nya nung mas naging mababa ang halaga (probably due to panic) then maniniwala pa ako sayo. Actually, maraming nageexist na ganun stories particularly sa mga newbies and not brave/frustrated hodlers.

Bukod kasi sa knowledge about economics, ang isa pang problema kung bakit nagkakalosses ang isang individual eh dahil sa weak emotional well-being nito. Hirap sila maging adaptive sa fluctuations ng coins nila kaya ang resulta eh wrong decisions which may result in two things only: might face losses or missed a great opportunity.

It's surprising to know that a government could still be able to change their bad point of view into good when it comes to discussions about cryptocurrency. Though South Korea's government opposed unto this concept, at least they now realized what they might missed a gret opportunity if they choose to ignore it. This news only prove that it is not too late to embrace the power of crypto, maybe governments are just scared because this can be a threat but if they will harness its potentials properly I'm sure they're country will become more productive. I hope South Korea will become an inspiration for others .


I wonder where's the confiscated btc now and what they will do with a very large of money like that?

5 minutes? Why too long? I know that solving captchas before logging in here changed in order to provide additional security, as far as I remembered it was only 3 - 4 captchas before but now it goes up to 5 - 6 . But despite the changes, it's still hassle-free for me simply because it's easy for a human to solve it. Maybe you are experiencing "reconnecting to captcha" that's why it took you 5 min. (probably due to slow internet). Just a tip, check the "always logged in" and do not delete the "forms" in the settings of your browser.

I've already done so many mistakes too as of being a crypto holder but I'm not considering them big, for me they are just minor compare to the ones you experienced. As of now, the worst thing I've done is to cash out even though it's not the best time for it. Take note, I'm aware that it was an impractical move but I still did because I don't have any choice — I really need some money that time. Honestly, I'm having a regeret 'til now .

As what I've understand regarding this news, Germany already legalize bitcoin in their country because they believe that banning of it must be done on a worldwide scale. Furthermore, their government could be able to get benefited by means of collecting tax on commercial profits made through bitcoin transactions. So this is gonna be a win-to-win for German citizens and their government (link:  https://www.reuters.com/article/us-bitcoin-regulations-germany/any-rule-on-bitcoin-must-be-global-germanys-central-bank-says-idUSKBN1F420E) (Willing to be corrected if I'm wrong).

Of course, maganda na tularan natin sila. Nasa Computer Age na tayo so dapat lang na hindi lang rayo naka-stick sa mga makaluma at nakagawiang pamamaraan sa pananalapi (at sa lahat ng aspeto ng buhay din syempre). Dapat matutunan din natin mag step up kaya naman lubhang makakatulong kung pag aaralan natin, especially ng mga kabataan, ang cryptocurrency lalo na't maari itong maging future of financing.

To be honest, di naman kailangan maging major ito ng isang course para lubusang matutunan. Sapat na siguro na gawin lang itong topic/subject sa college curriculum. Also, conducting seminars for crypto awareness could be a big a help.

Great move by those Brazilian bus companies but I just want clear something, Is this only applicable in travel booking? If so then it would be much better if they'll also add a system where they can do the transaction already inside the bus, I'm sure that the busy bee ones who don't have time for booking will be benefited by this. Though my suggestion seems hard to achieve but if they will succed then their country will be benefited a lot.
Maybe you are pertaining to Brisbane airport, it accepts Btc also Eth, Ltca and Dash.

That was a great experience dude! Atually that's one of my dreams with btc - to use it in my actual daily transactions. Honestly, I feel a little bit jealous to you because you are now able to apply the the concept of cryptocurrency in real-life situations while me, I can't still find a store/establishment that accepts btc here in my province . I'm really trying hard to find one, everytime I buy something I ask first the vendor if he receives btc but I'm always ending like a weirdo in their eyes because they don't have any idea on what I am talking about.

The program says that ZAP is a shitcoin. Well I'm not surprised because I already knew that fact very long time ago that's why I just gave up on it. But saying ETN, EOS and NEO are shitcoins? I barely disagree. I believe those coins have a bright future (I hope I'm not wrong in picking ETN) Well, I don't take this seriously because it's very obvious that the program has no strong basis of what it says.

Anyway, I noticed that there is no constant comments on some coins, though it has same negative feedback but still different in words which makes me wonder if the system of the program only make random comments for each coin. I searched Etn and it says "Hodl that shit" then I next xrp, eos and neo; and when I searched etn again it's now "Good job! You selected a top-tier shitcoin, not a shit-tier shitcoin". Is this an error?

Since you prefer hodling or a long term investment, my advice for you is to choose within the top 10 coins in the market because those coins performed better and has a greater stability compare to other coins. If I were you I'll pick eth as my primary option where I invest a large portion of my money and I will disseminate the remaining part into XRP, EOS and IOTA.

I agree with you because there's a big chance that you are right sir. It is very hard to believe (IMO) that a high-ranked member which also means being old here in the forum doesn't aware that merit begging is strictly prohibited knowing also the fact that the issue regarding this was already been discussed here in Meta so many times before so there is no excuses for him.

That account should be reported and let the mods hear his alibi (I bet it won't be valid ). But if ever this is not a bought account then he still did a mistake and liable of what he did.

If ever btc drops very hard assuming it reached an ATL then I will panic of course simply because it's a normal response by an investor but in the endI foresee that I'll remain hodling. I'm not 100% sure if I can achieved this but I believe I can do it. I've already witnessed a lot of major dips of btc especially the one happened after China ban ICOs (that was a crucial one to be honest) and I can confidently say that I'm less scared now and much stronger emotionally when it comes to risking.

Furthermore, if ever btc nearly drop into 0 and shows no recovery (though impossible) then it's time for me to move on but I still refuse to withdraw my coins, I'll just let it stocked on my wallet because the chance that it will suddenly recover cannot be abolish, who knows?

Though I analyzed the first ICO where I invested, I still considered myself as lucky because I didn't experienced getting scammed or face money losses like others do . I'm just happy that I made the right choice — investing in Electroneum. I know this is still not booming in the market but at least it was a competitive coin compare to others. Actually, I'm not yet able to get profits from it because I prefer to hodl first and wait for it to skyrocket before cashing out. I know that my plan takes so much time before earning but I'm willing to wait nevertheless.

I stop dealing with ICOs as for now and invest most of my money into btc because I want to make the most out of it's drop. But as soon as I see an ICO that is good and has a potential then I'm willing to take risks.

Di naman finalized yang list na yan, so wag tayo masyado panghinaan ng loob. Anything could happen in a glimpse of an eye and besides konti lang naman ang lamang sa atin ng Croatia (sa tingin ko) so we should work harder and keep our posts qualitative. Actually malaking achievement na nga rin para sa atin ang pagiging top 11 kasi kahit papaano napatunayan natin na kaya nating makipagsabayan sa mga malalaking countries tulad nila pero gayunpaman dapat di tayo mag-stop dun. There's nothing wrong of seeking more improvements, right?
Very risky talaga kaya nga kahit gusto ko pa bigyan ng merit yung kaibigan ko dati (ubos na kasi smerits ko ngayon) eh hindi ko magawa kasi nga baka maakusahan ako ng merit farming. Kaya ang ginawa ko eh sa iba ko na lang binigay para safe, takot kasi akong mawala ang account ko. Di mo rin naman ako masisisi, I'm prerty sure that some of you also know what I feel.

Payment received. Thank you sir .

Yup dude, I feel the same way also but in my case we're different. Though I want to remain hodling, I still cannot because I need to fulfill my daily necessities. I'm now on my OJT and I'm not yet getting support coming from my companions so I have to cash out some of my money every time I needed. I know that this is not the proper time for dumping but I don't have any choice. Well, it's alright (despite the losses I get) as long as my money will go to things that are good and has a purpose.
