I think ico there is a scam and some can be trusted, I think it's all from your care to choose an ico project,
reading whitepaper is also very important

I think that only 2% will become successful, 8% won't reach they goals and will be collapsed in 2-5 years. The rest is just SCAM!

This is pretty damn exciting. I am still not sure how the API would work, and the Coindesk article only gave vague details, but this has serious potential to spread awareness on Bitcoins and cryptocurrencies in general.

One thing to note, though, is that we are still going to need developers to make use of the API. It looks like we will be able to take advantage of it using add-ons, which is a security risk. Still, we're getting there!

if you want to invest in bitcoin then you only have one option which is buying bitcoin right now and keep it for over a year and don't too often to take a look in the market, every exchanges. because if you do, you are tempting to sell because of panic when you see the price is down or you want to buy again just to see the price is down. for that $100 you can buy bitcoin without seeing the price now and don't forget to move your bitcoin into your offline wallet or in your computer or android phone.

With bitcoin prices that are still unstable yet and easily influenced by various things, it seems we should have been able to accept it and reasonable on it, no matter how much the price. From the current price movements, it's looks the price like trying to reach $4000, i think it's no problem and this is more leads to an increase than a few days earlier. Well hopefully bitcoin price can continue to increasing for the next.

I think China wants in this way to reduce the number of scammers who use bitcoin for illegal purposes. Though it seems to me completely to forbid it to not turn out as hackers can bypass this interdiction.

Definitely, it requires technical analysis and a lot of time to make fine decisions to get profit in the market. But sometimes our bad decisions help us in learning new things and discovering new ways to make money from bitcoins. Just be patient at loss and don’t panic.

Not only $4000 but will jump to previous it very soon. Little jumps are so amazing that they give chances for trade to buy more bitcoins. As earlier fortnight, it was so difficult to buy bitcoins the prices were so high and now see the buying prices are getting down. Chance to buy and definitely buyers will avail it.

it depends on the amount of bitcoin that he is holding because online wallet is good too and it can use easily because you can send and receive anytime anywhere you want and it is safe too, but as i said if you have a large amount of bitcoin go for offline wallets so you can make sure that your bitcoin is safe.

The effects of the China FUD are getting more short lived, you said it yourself at the beginning of the year it took bitcoin a few weeks to recover, now it only took bitcoin a few days to recover, soon enough the China FUD is not going to work anymore and the next time something like this happen we are not going to care anymore.

"Contrary to the free market" would be a single, central "external force" (like a central bank).

But there could be many, decentrally operating forces that control volatility, and that would not be against the "free market". At least much less against it than mega-whales manipulating the price at their will

I have already linked to a possible solution above. Another one is simply to increase the percentage of traders that use a "rebalancing" or "contrarian" strategy, like outlined here. A open source, easy to use bot (with a GUI?) that does rebalancing would be a first step in this direction.

I know volatility is always good if the price curve points in the right direction But at the long term, Bitcoin can gain much more ground (use cases etc.) if volatility is significantly lower than now. The goal should be that the probability to run into a crash of more than 10% in 24 hours approaches <1%, and a 5% crash, let's say, less than 2-3%.

The signs is showing positive trends right now of you will have a check at coinmarket cap value online. Looking at the graph, bitcoin jas significant way of achieving it's higher rate in the future due to the demand eventually rising after the time of crash last week ago. Price will have to surge at that rate of $5000 again and if ever value will pump and pump more than $5000 is merely possible.

In an average, bitcoin price is just above ~$39xx, but it's still good though considering the painful two week that we have been through. I think this is the true value of bitcoin now minus the Chinese market. Bitcoin once more proved its resiliiency, so holders are very much happy to see the price jump quickly while those weak hands who sold at $2800-$900 are just shaken their heads and regretting their decision. But to go to $5000 is anything thing. I don't know what significant event we need to see to really push the market price to $5000 once more.

Such a large amount of money why you are still need it to invest since its a large amount of money or this could be fack, if you are willing to invest there i think its better to use in trading that i thought you can control the movement  of the price of bitcoin not all or other subscribed all token i will investment a good side to as helpless all others. 

I do not know if im correct what I read was China are banning ICO and exchanges. They not banning Bitcoin so I think the Chinese can still mine and own Bitcoin.

Also the Japan news help into the recovery of the price.

This is a very good news not only for the Philippines but for the whole Bitcoin community.

I Hope other countries approve or recognize not just Bitcoin but other reputable Altcoins.

The best thing you can do when prices are falling is Holding tight .. And if you can buy more bitcoins or any altcoins when prices are falling then you can make a massive profit when prices will be higher again .. I use this strategy for trading . Btc down buy and hold . AS i think "HOLD IS GOLD "

Probably not. If the uptrend continues(which probably will) soon we will see $5k and gradually and floor of $5k like we more or less saw a floor of $3k last week that was probably the best time to buy. But now is also a good time to buy as soon $4k will be left long behind like $1000.
