I don't know where this theories come from, that Bitcoin price dumps are connected to holidays. Where is any correlation between these two that is actually confirmed?  I don't beleive in that and reasons for price fall are much more serious and complex, the explanation, it's not so simple and explanations that selling coins because of holidays causes dump makes no sense at all.

I don't think so. I come from Europe and in Europe we care about privacy very much and personaly I don't like to disclose my personal data when that isn't necessary or important condition for some services.
Adding your location could be misused and could have some implications like becoming a target for different illegal activities.
I realy don't think this is necessary and I also think that on that way I could lose more than I could get, so no, I wouldn't do that.

It's easier to say then to do.
By now Bitcoin has gained many supporters, value and usage in real life and all this didn't come over night.
Banks can issue their own cryptocurrencies, as well as governments or any other institutions but this still doesn't mean they will be successful and accepted.
To my opinion to get some serious competition for Bitcoin would be extremly hard and I don't think that at the moment anyone can make something like that. Even now when the price is low and if this continues Bitcoin can't be moved out of the crypto scene.

The other side of Forex trading is a lot of scam accusations. I know that many people lost money in shady manipulations, at least in my country. That is why I have never involved in Forex trading and I prefere to stick to cryptocurrencies or to be precise to Bitcoin. Forex trading gives many promises but not so many profit, at least these are informations that I have.

Nothing happens over night, even not with Bitcoin who can change very quickly. I don't think this is ever going to happen but in theory, if it does  this would be a process that would take a while and dump would last for some time. Weeks, months.
There is no reason for such fear although are many in panic these days.

Exactly. According to majority of comments here on forum it looks like all come from new users and investors. Where are all "old", experienced Bitcoiners gone?
Volatility and risk, that is something that you first have to remember before you get involved in Bitcoin.
And the price will not go to zero but the price will not be high so soon either.

Singapore is very advanced and techicaly developed country so I'm not surprised. But as far as I know similar is also possible in Japan that also strongly supports Bitcoin so Singapore is not the only one.
But unfortunately not many countries are following their example, accepting Bitcoin is many countries is still exception rather than a rule. And it will stay so for a while, changes will not happen so soon.

It's so hard to make any prediction or speculation these days. We all have seen how unpredictible Bitcoin can be. This dump we are having now it's going on for a while and it could continue further. So, yes in theory it's possible for Bitcoin price to go even lower. At the moment I guess that supply is still higher than demand so there is space for price to go down.
Still I hope the price will not go lower than 3000$, that is also prediction of some analysts and that with next year it will start to recover.

Businesses are not so wiling to accept Bitcoin because it's too risky for them. Also there is a lack of regulation and companies need legal ground and safety to be able to do business properly. That is also the reason why smaller cpmpanies accept Bitcoin more, because they don't have so much to loose and are more willing to accept the risk.
But regulation is one of the most important conditions for companies to start dealing with Bitcoin. You can't incorporate something that is barely legal or undefined into your business, do you?

Emotions in trading could cause you a big stress but on the other hand it's hard to be fully cold, we are not machines. The key is find some kind of balance between cold mind and the heart because sometimes you just have the feeling if something is wrong or right, we have all experienced that.
One emotion that you never, ever should give a chance is panic, this can really cost you a lot and it will totaly blind your common sense.

There is absolutely nothing you can do but be patient and wait for price to recover. Actually one thing you can do is not to panic sell, that will not do good to anyone and you don't need even bigger loss.
And for the future remember that this is not the first, not the last time that price has dumped so be prepared for different scenarios in the future. You have to know exactly how much risk you can take and how much this might cost you.

When the situation is bad and market red as now it's very important not to lose your patience and to control your emotions to avoid wrong decisions and panic selling. This is not always easy but these things come with experience.
Don't ever forget that investing in cryptocurrencies is risky and volatility is something that you should always count on. If you are not prepared for that you better don't go into it at all.

I guess we need Bitcoin as an alternative to traditional economy system, banks and traditional ways of payment.
After numerous crisis that happened caused mainly by banks people wanted something to be changed, something that will not be centralized under one authority and prone to different manipulations.
In new digital era Bitcoin and cryptocurrency is something that is necessary and it's good to have choice and alternative.

Exactly, according to some people Bitcoin has died a countless times so far. That is why all this threads about Bitcoin being dead are actually going on my nervs.
This is not the ideal situation, the price is low, it's possible that it will go even lower. But that is how Bitcoin is functioning, it's the essence of volatility and that also means that price can't go up all the time. But that still doesn't mean that Bitcoin will vanish from the scene.
But it looks these days like only few will have enough patience to wait for price to recover.

Only few can make for their living and job as professional traders. This is not an easy job and takes many risks and uncertainty.
But I support the idea to approach to the trading seriously as it was your job. Too many still think that trading is some kind of game that will easily enable you to make big profit in short period of time. But it's not working that easy and if you want to be successful trader you have to invest a lot of your time, skills and knowledge, not only your money.

Bitcoin price will recover but it's hard to tell when this will happen. Current phase that we are facing is something that couldn't be avoided, just like volatility, price can't be high all the time.
This dump lasts for a while now and at the moment it doesn't seam that soon it will be over. I don't expect sudden price rise instantly with the beginning of the next year, this might take a while.

No, not all are giving up.
I think that new users and those who are not involved in Bitcoin so long have lost their patience and want to quit Bitcoin.
But experienced users have been through similar situations before and even worse I would say and their only interest is not just profit so they will not give up
I'm among these users and I will stay, this bad phase will be over eventualy.

I agree that it's not wise to sell coins now but at the end everyone has its own will and can make decision what he/she likes.
But I can't agree that Bitcoin always have crisis, if you want to call it so, in holiday season. Last year in December Bitcoin was having the best moments so you can't say that fourth quarter is always fatal for Bitcoin. I don't think there is any proven connection between Bitcoin price fall and end of the year.

I think that Bitcoin community is very dynamic and fkexible and it's hard to determine the number of users. I also think this depends on the Bitcoin status because when the price is on the rise then the number of users is higher too.
I've read somwhere that about 2 millions people in the whole world is using Bitcoin. I don't know if this is correct number but is relatively small compared to general population. Still I think this number will grow.
