Hi, Sylon, please kindly update my rank on the signature campaign. I ranked up from Sr. member to Hero. I have updated my signature code. Thank you in advance.

First off, I am actually confused why some are feeling the need to trouble kids, who should only focused with their studies to be taught about these things about the cryptocurrency market. However, to answer the questions, the best time, for me, would be during middle or high school. At least, they already have the idea of how the economy works or how the country earns its money; thus, if they would be taught not the concept directly, but how it can affect the them positively, then they would actually have the interest to learn about it. Kids these days are not focused with this kind of stuff that the chances of you getting their attention or keeping it, for that matter, would be so difficult. That's also a challenge you need to overcome.

That is the description that should be fitting to say that one altcoin is one of the good ones across the market. To give it a name, I think that Eth, Waves, LTC, Ripple and Stellar would be those altcoins that fits the bill. They have their strengths, and they have shown great endurance and reliability to actually survive in the always changing cryptocurrecny market. I think that as more and more people would support these coins, it would lead to better usage rate for them, that would later on lead to a better potential and value.

When they say "bubble", they are referring to bitcoin as something that won't last long. It may be good and fly for a short time, but eventually, it would pop or burst, which equivalent to it losing value. I think many are claiming or believing that due to the aspect that cryptocurrencies are so volatile; it may go up and down at any time, and thus the value of many coins may change without notice or warning, which could be affected of a thousand or a million reasons governing the market. I think since it has been present for a decade, it should be considered as a bubble anymore because so many things have already happened to it, and evidently, it still survives.

I agree. I think that Ripple doesn't hold that much power and command support well enough that it can rise to that amount in the short period. Many things can happen in two years, but seeing how it is increasing, it may reach more than the thousands mark, but surely, not reach 10k mark. That's just too much, I think. I mean, if I use bitcoin as an example, the time it took for bitcoin to reach that same value is about more or less ten years. Therefore, even if the cryptomarket is more famous now, it would take longer than just two years for that to happen.

I agree. I think you are also entitled for your own opinion. However, what I am surprised more so that the detailed list you gave is the fact that you have reached that high of a rank in this forum, which are filled with people who support bitcoin, and cryptocurrencies in general. I think that some of the things listed down on why bitcoin is useless are not really supportive enough to say that it is. It's technology is something new; it has never been seen before; and it gives a different mechanism to trade, transact, pay and deal with people in the market. I think that it may contribute a lot of good things in the trade and industry market in the long run, which would make the market even better. And for those reasons, I think it is useful.

That's right. It's a commonly used and followed market concept that when assets are down, it is the best time to buy, to be used in the future for profit. To make it short, "buy low, sell high". I think that's the best plan, and now, since the market is beginning to increase and regain its strength by the day, thus, it's a good time to buy while many coins are still down in value. The capital you would have to use and put out would get  your more coins to increase your portfolio. In doing so, that gives you more options to trade for, and thus, more profit to probably earn.

That's true. I mean most people who struck gold in any market or venture has always had that "leap of faith" moment where the risk, although it is calculated, still has lots of room to go the other way and backfire. However, that's how businesses are; there is always a risk connected with it and those who has been successful are the risk takers that tried on a new idea or took the plunge and worked. Thus, in this case, I would try to play my cards right. I would take the risk of being a billionaire, but not be so aggressive that the line that separates risk and stupidity blurs.

That would be too risky mate. I mean, the cryptocurrency market, and mostly all venture related to it are risky and volatile in itself. Why would you want to added more uncalculated risk by not having a steady income that could only be provided by a job. I think that even if you can actually earn good money from trading, you could also lose some from time to time. Also, some deals may take months or weeks at a time, or longer, but the needs of a person or a family would always be a constant struggle to answer. Thus, it would still be safer to have a fall back and that is a steady paying job.

That's true. That feature of the cryptocurrency market is what affects these changes and market movements. Therefore, as much as others don't want this to happen, there is always this chance or situation to surface at times, therefore, instead of seeing it as the end of the cryptocurrency market, why not use it to one's advantage and actually use it to make it work for you like other people who see it as a perfect opportunity to stock up some coins and extend their portfolios. It's a good time to buy low and to see how the market unfolds for future profit.

I agree. The future of paper money is still intact as ever. Even if more and more people are inclining into having a moneyless transactions and society, it is still a safer, more reliable and more accepted way of transacting, paying services and good, and investing. As a currency, it still has the upper hand since it is backed by gold reserves of whichever country it originates from. Therefore, many people are still more inclined to keeping it as an asset. Like I have said before, I think instead of fiat vanishing due to the cryptocurrency, I think that it is more possible to have a market interplay or maybe competition between the two.

I would say holding your Ethereum is the better choice. Eth has been bringing forth a lot of buzz in the market, good buzz that could that could actually equal to an increase of value and a means to gain more attention from people. Waves is also one of the better altcoins, but if I would compare the two, I would side with Eth because it has shown how reliable and strong it is because it was able to keep its footing even during the time when most altcoins are dying out.

I agree. I think it has risen into a state that it has the power to change the market landscape like it has never been done before. Also, what impressed me the most about it is how it has risen in such a quick way that it can be said that it commanded so much attention and focus from people that contributed to its unmatched manner of rise. Also, I am very hopeful that the blockchain technology would be a new way for people to invest that is open for all people who wants to do it and not just for those who have large capital on their hands.

BTC still has good value in it to invest ot buy. In fact, it is not the best time to buy and hold because the value has been down around 40% since last month. Also, to choose in where to invest, you should try to categorize the kind, is it short term or long term you want. You should also plan the profit margin you want to get. BTC is more of a long term venture, while most altcoins are for short term.

I agree. This happens quite often in the cryptocurrency market; one second everything is going up, and the next, everything is down. The market, especially in this market, every thing is just so unpredictable, amd often times, it is too hard to guage what would happen next. If you remember last October, many are saying the same, and then by next month, bitcoin surged and it almost tripled its value. So, just keep at it mate.

Well that might be true, the transaction itself won't be the one to be imposed taxes on. I think, most governments are already eyeing or gunning for a way to regulate bitcoin through the imposition of taxes; governments are always aware of up-and-coming market trends, and they are always focused on making those rising market opportunities working for their advantage. I think that if they can't tax the processes that people do with their cryptocurrencies, then they would try to impose on other ways like transactions and exchanges. It's how the government works, I guess. So, that's to be expected.

I agree. Eth being the pioneer coin in that chain, it would be hard to compete against it. Also, Eth has been known by people in a good light, and I think, the developers are just trying to ride that wave of consistency as a purpose on why they created Ethereum Classic; however, as much as they wanted people to support it, it didn't gain much buzz in the market. I think, I can compare that to what happened with NEO, it is an altcoin based in China that has the same technology as that of Ethereum, it didn't go so well too because people think of it is a cheap copy of Ethereum similar to how they view Eth Classic.

I agree. I assume I have been given a bitcoin by someone who knows how to use it, therefore, I think the purpose of giving it to me, more than the money, is the idea that I can use it to invest or trade for. Therefore, knowing where bitcoin is at right now, I would hold it as well like most of the replies state in the thread. By doing so, I am giving myself a chance to expand the amount I am given, if not, I would trade a part of it for some promising altcoins as an investment.

I think it's a good move, and also, I foresee that the trend would continue a few more weeks or maybe about a month or two; I am not saying that it's good bitcoin is falling in value, but to make something good out of the bad, I think it's the best time to buy and hold to be sold when the time is right. Bitcoin has stretches like this where it fluctuates, or even plummets in value, and instead of thinking negatively about it, why not strategize and may it work for your advantage.

I agree, with some additional. I think bitcoin is still the best coin to invest in, or at least, hold for the time being. Even if it had fallen in value for about 40% in the past few weeks, I would say that it is still in a good spot because it still holds a hefty 11.8k dollar value, which is still a good price point to invest in as it will catch traction and gain more value in the future. I also would like to point out investing in some altcoins short-term like with LTC, Ripple and Stellar; they are really promising with a lot of potential for increase in the next coming months.
