The hardfork that will happen at this time is different from the hardfork which happened to other altcoins as happened earlier in BCH. Where when hardfork is finish then there will be a new altcoin come out, but this time that come to pass on ETH will not produce a new altcoin. Hardfork ETH only updates the system, like you update Instagram or wallet on your smartphone, and I'm not sure any investor will be interested in this considering the cryptocurrency market is still in the bearish market.

Does it only ETF that will make bitcoin price meet increased? Or does only ETF that will make the price of bitcoin decline again? That's true one of the causes that will make bitcoin prices rise and fall is ETFs, but I hope we not only focus on a regulation from ETFs, maybe there are still many other regulations that can make bitcoin prices rise or decline. It's not crusial, price reductions or price increases always approached in bitcoin, we should be accustomed on it.

It's pretty simple for some people who said bitcoin will die or bitcoin is over because they have suffered a loss, so as they spread the FUD to incite every investor, especially new investors. They are not willing if someone keeps investing and making a profit. I guess the whole country won't make bitcoin die even though they simultaneously ban bitcoin. This is a ridiculous thing, bitcoin can use even though all countries ban it, bitcoin will die when the internet dies.

High risk and high profit, small risk and small profit. Those are a choice for every investor who should be thought through carefully, don't just want to get a big profit but he is not ready for big risks or wants to get a big profit with only small risk. Bitcoin and gold are very different in my opinion, from the way of investing or from the process of getting profit is very different, I slightly disagree when someone says bitcoin is digital gold, it will never happen. Bitcoin is a digital currency, not precious metal. Hopefully, every investor can get these two investment places.

Good for you, I confess your confidence against cryptocurrency and everyone should be able to follow what you do, rather than just anger by mentioning cryptocurrency is bulshit or says bitcoin will die, that is nonsense cause after cryptocurrency come back to recover they will return and being a flatter cryptocurrency. Just remind, choosing a project is very important, this will determine your income when the market cryptocurrency is recovered, besides that many projects scam you must be careful.

Predictors/speculators or technical analysts are just a method that we cannot make as a definite reference. I don't believe the price of bitcoin will go back down to $ 3000 at the beginning of the year because that hasn't happened yet, it's just a false method. Also, I can't be sure that the price of bitcoin will rise again this year, because that hasn't happened yet. Just prepare what will happen next, 2018 is a valuable year for investors or bitcoin traders, there are many lessons that must be taken and applied this year.

Bitcoin will be there and I'm sure of that. I hope every government can adopt bitcoin well so that it can be used by many people. At this time, everyone has known about bitcoin, especially in my country they already know bitcoin (as digital currency) but when I ask to them the reason for not having bitcoin is the government, they are still waiting for the government's decision so that bitcoin has clear legality. Maybe the government can fix bitcoin well, I don't question the function of bitcoin as a payment system, the government can just set bitcoin with an option as an alternative payment system or they can confine the use of bitcoin, I guess that's not a problem.

At least with the existence of bitcoin I can have an expectation, I can invest or trade if I feel able to make a profit. And till now, I can get additional income per week by trading and increasing my income besides working in the real world. Honestly, I am a new person who only knows bitcoin a year ago so as I have not gained wealth, maybe for some people in this forum there have been many who have gained wealth.

Yepp I saw it on coinmarketcap, in a few days back ETH showed great increase. I heard a lot of information about ETH fork, maybe the price increase was part of the agenda of ETH fork. Although in some media which stated that there were no new coins from Hardfork ETH, the fork was intended only to update the new system from ETH.

ETH has taken back the second position of XRP, and now the difference between the marketcap of both coins is $ 1 B, maybe a little more than a few months before. Althought I don't know what will happen in the next few years, but I get confidence if bitcoin will never be shifted in the first position of the cryptocurrency market.

It is not wrong if you take part with Airdrop which is legit so as what you have done can be paid off, taken part with  airdrop only takes a little time, you just simply share the link they ordered on Twitter or on Facebook, most of it is just that. You can also while following the ICO project because there is no arrangement that requires you to use their signature.

Long term investment is a good choice, I have a friend who has invested in 2010 and he chose long term investment to buy bitcoin with $200, now with $200 we can only buy 1 ETH but at that year he bought a lot of bitcoin. One can imagine the profit he will get, even though he did not sell bitcoin at ATH last year and sell it now he will still get profit. Indeed, it's a little difficult to convince someone to choose a long term investment, they only focus on instant investment.

Same with me, I am a newbie too, especially in trading. But after seeing market movements in 2018 I got the conclusion that in a bearish market the price of bitcoin can move up slowly. Even, at the end of last year the price of bitcoin was very volatile, in one day it could go down to 10% and the next day it could rise up to 12%, a sign that even if a bearish market a trader can get profit. This is just another view so that someone does not judge the bearish market is a condition that must be regretted.

That just a lesson for someone who uses cryptocurrency as source income, indeed, the decision is not wrong if he has a large hoard to meet his needs when the bearish market comes. I guess many people who only depend on cryptocurrency and then look for other place to be used as a source of income. I do not dismiss when a bull run come, so every cryptocurrency user will get a lot of profit, like today when the price of bitcoin and altcoin decreases and for those who have bought it will get a big profit, although with epoch that cannot be determined.

Honestly I disagree with you, if you just dreaming for bitcoin price reach new ATH then you will insane if the price do not go up, or even meet a deep decline again. This was happened in the bitcoin market or cryptocurrency market as a whole, they only predict bitcoin with their own imagination or just with their own dreamed, so when crashes came and out of their predictions than they decided to leave and a few of them spread up FUD. Predict the price of bitcoin with existing conditions or from some information circulating that can admit the truth, investment in bitcoin is not gambling which only relies on sustainability.

Which market? Each exchange site has a different volume, depending on a users who use the exchange. Maybe that's what makes the price of bitcoin different from one exchange and the other. Whereas if you look at the coinmarketcap the amount of the price is accumulated from the various exchanges, or the average of all exchange cryptocurrency.

Yes, he must. 

It's a little strange when Hhampuz isn't on the list, maybe he doesn't know you are a bounty manager, even though I've seen you become a bounty manager, like bitcore, bitcloud and lucre.

Might this is the reason for government ban bitcoin to be used as a payment system or place of investment. Everyone will look for many ways to avoid tax problems or compensation from the sale to the government. However, I do not know the response of the Russian government against bitcoin or cryptocurrency as a whole and what will you do includes illegal act or not. Apart from that, when you want to sell an item (land) with cryptocurrency you can find the cryptocurrency community in your country, maybe this is a simple matter compared to you looking for a buyer from outside your country. Usually people who live in the same country will know more about government regulations and you can easily negotiate.

Maybe most banks hate bitcoin but there are some banks that have adopted cryptocurrency as a money transfer system. The concept of banks and cryptocurrency is very different indeed, but both have advantages and disadvantages of each. I guess this problem doesn't have to be extended so as that will lead to pros and cons and make some people stay away from bank and for some people who like bank will stay away form bitcoin, maybe this is an opportunity for us to take advantage of the functions of banks and bitcoin, I think both of them can give a complement each other.

I guess if the problem is just what you say then it's the easiest thing to solve. Every bitcoin user or investor who comprehend about investment in bitcoin they can provide an education to people who are interested on bitcoin, they can create a community or create a class to talk about how to invest in bitcoin. Everyone who just know bitcoin will be interested in investing in it, many people will get huge profits from investing in bitcoin. For a place of investment that promises, I think bitcoin is one of them, but with many notes, every investor must be able to manage their emotions, their greed and other negative things.
