^ Probably, it is good for the US’s economy if it’s going to a right direction. But everything will change once the administration has been changed and Biden will soon sit at the White House. And Trump is better when it comes to economics.
I would bet, Joe has a better connection anyway. He doesn’t need to be great in economics. If it’s his weakness and he is a great leader, he doesn’t need to do it. He can ask for assistance from his connections and everything will be set up. We will see.

^ We need to fight this emotion even though it is a part of us.
Alright, probably I agree that you made your personal mistake of buying bitcoin when it pumped up. But it doesn’t mean that it is going to be the same today. I also made the mistake of considering myself greedy when in fact I was not. It's all matter of research.
It probably looks like it pumped but sooner you find out that it still increased and you supposed to earn profit from it if you bought some the day your decision not to. Nevertheless, the situation of OP will never be the same as others so don’t limit them.

^ I had like to appreciate your effort in providing this list of great traders. However, there are a lot of platforms to consider as well. Where you can simply mimic their trading decisions but still get the same result of growth.  It’s just that, it requires the least commission fee.? But probably it won’t hurt. Sometimes, you just have to be smart and find the best way to earn a profit and this is one of my suggestions. Nevertheless, it is adding more to your knowledge if you are doing your won research with references like this, it gives a boost in your profit for sure.

^ Me too but let’s just wait until bitcoin is widely accepted so we can all use bitcoin to purchase anything in any categories. It might take time but we will get there soon. Once we have crossed that bridge, I will celebrate since after a long time believing Bitcoin to grow, we have achieved it. The first time I used bitcoin for purchasing was actually p2p so I wasn’t able to feel the way you felt right now. But still, it’s considered a successful transaction between me and the peer seller using bitcoin. Nevertheless, how I wish to have enough bitcoin before year-end. Cheers!

^ Definitely right.
I don’t think bitcoin can be related to sexism and racism. Like seriously?
Bitcoin is a store of value and medium of exchange. It will never be related to sexism and racism and it is probably the users but not the bitcoin itself. The bubble is accepted and considered as criticism, it can be related and also that bitcoin is only for criminals, which would be considered before. But sexism will never be. If people have problems with racism, put the blame on the organization, not on the bitcoin. Just leave Bitcoin alone.

^ In my own opinion, even though your question is a little bit tricky. Well, I don’t believe that bitcoin will end the dollar’s reign. We have to think that central banks that run the dollar have limited resources. Cause they don’t. What I believe is bitcoin can Co-exist with Dollars next big move. And that is running their currency in digital. This is what I strongly believe and I already made research about this.

^ I was expecting a better opinion from an economist. A better statement that makes sense. But on this one, I really find it non-sense.
Follow-the-herd does not apply with Bitcoin, It is different. We never invite people to join us and we have independence. Mr. Rosenberg should do his research.  But yes, I would agree, the last bull has a lot of disappointments ahead of it but things go that way, and as long as it returned to the bull this year, that would be enough.

^ Since we are freely using bitcoin I would say, it is a lot of changes to those people who had and adopting bitcoin.
However, you know, when the internet came in people are getting more intelligent since they access a lot of data over the internet. Good thing that Africa is now trying to improve their lives by adopting the technology. They will never regret their decision of doing so. I have seen countries that adopted Bitcoin grow. And I hope that this will serve in long term to them and even the same to my country.

^ I don’t really believe that the influence really came from Microstrategy.
At their status in finance, influence is almost absent in every decision they make. They do things with their own data and records.
I probably guess it’s a move they start because they speculated something to happen based on their research. Nevertheless, I hope there are more big investors that keep coming in crypto and continuously adopting bitcoin to be used in any business industry all over the world.

^ For me whatever happens, KYC will never be a threat to BTC. It actually helps BTC to build trust in consumers and attracts people who would like to have securities. KYC will help BTC for that matter.  As a matter of fact, this KYC is only harmful to the entities and individuals who are doing some grey stuff. Let us consider the fact that from time to time, centralization could be a partner of cryptocurrency in the future.

^ Definitely right, trading is considered gambling but this slight risk than gambling because you probably control risk if you have followed the trading process which enough for you if you have skill and knowledge about it. Trading is not just an easy way to earn money, it is a very hard task to speculate the market movement and earn profit and that is not based on luck that gambling has. In trading, there are too many factors to consider and to adjust including yourself. Nevertheless, if you will be passed all of these, consider profit will follow.

^ I had experienced the same as you, I don't have enough savings now because I spend them all during at that time when I was in sick. I have no choice just to cash out my bitcoin than I cannot pay my bills in the hospital. Look at now, we have reached the new ATH but we don't have bitcoin to cash out, a little bit disappointed to my self but the repentance always comes at last, it will never come back so probably let us collect again and prepare to the next ATH.

^ My opinion is, Ripple has good sets of lawyers that assist them with their decision.
But probably this really triggers them to move to a different location where Cryptocurrencies are accepted or not yet regulated to avoid these happening again. Probably, they would win the case here and Ripple will never do such things that would destroy them at their company’s expense. Nevertheless, I thought that this Ripple was already regulated by the government and the SEC will have nothing to do.

^ The problem of the XRP is this, it is always regulated by the government and possible also it is manipulated by them. So, we can't really trust this coin if you are talking about worth HODLING them. Nevertheless, they are right, when it comes to transactions, it is easy to use XRP and mostly useful just like in a bank transfer, but when we are talking profit upon holding, I will say no, that is not worth it.

^ It can be profitable, but choose those that have the potential one. There are too many new projects arise these days, we did not know which one is the right to invest in, the hype of Defi has also a risk of those fake projects, so we really don't know how legitimate they are. I suggest why you did not spare your money in the top 10 altcoins in the crypto market. Those are probably worth it than risking your money investing in the new token, you did not know if that is only an HYIP.

^ It's a higher odds which is also high risk, that is how the altcoins that I per see. You invested at a cheap price and who knows those altcoins you invested becomes shitcoin someday. I am not comfortable with them holding for a long time, probably in a short period of time but still, my asset focused on bitcoin which is good for investment even though we know that it is very volatile and very sensitive when it comes to managing our asset. We had a different decision, if that is your perspective view to handle your capital, that is yours, but I had still been stick on the bitcoin investment.

^ I am possibility more confident it is. After reaching the $24k which is a new ATH, it has a short correction, and now it is maintaining the price in the market which is commonly a good sign that there could be a bull run in the next few days. This is what I am expected that there could be a new ATH since then and after a few days did not have a monitor in the market. Nevertheless, I suspected that the reasons for the sudden rise of bitcoin price because of the recent news that bitcoin gained, awareness to the people will probably bring adoption of bitcoin.

^ Definitely right, when we are talking about the investment it includes risk, and that is impossible to low your risk upon investment.
I consider a new project should belong to high risk because you even don't know their main goal even though it seems to be a good project but it ends up as a scam. But I respect everyone's decision and if OP wants to invest, OP should have his own research before investing new project and don't rely upon other's opinions. Nevertheless, I don't see a negative side on that project upon having quick research but I suggest to have deep research if you want to risk your money.

^ Good to see there are too many people like you willing to send a gift to their loved ones a valuable asset like cryptocurrency. But it is also good if you include even a short video clip or a letter that explains how bitcoin works and functionalities on it or possible risk. Probably because they think always to have profit, they never know the risk and the possible negative consequences ahead upon adopting bitcoin after they receive a gift from you. It could be blaming you once they had losses from bitcoin investment because they don't understand the system. Nevertheless, that is a good idea.

^ Definitely right and good question, if you badly need money right at this moment then, it's the right time to cash out your bitcoin but I suggest not to cashout them all, just HODL and left some in your wallet. We could not blame people who want to spend their bitcoin during the holidays because most people need money at this time and probably selling their bitcoin is one common decision of most HODLERs. Nevertheless, I am worried about the possible impact, it could cause a short correction of the price once everyone has the same decision of selling bitcoin.
