I guess what is happening right now is BITCOIN is introducing the masses to cryptocurrencies in the form of bitcoin of course, now as soon as these new adapters learned about other coins they will surely get curious about it and buy bags of them.

Let's say it might hit 2 USD very soon... and yes, It is most definitely a good coin to hold long term. It's transactions are quite faster compared to other altcoins even bitcoin. I am hoping that coins.ph will soon introduce Ripple to our folks here.

Yes, indeed... in my office, there are bunch of noobs who just came in to bitcoins this December, and when I ask them where did they learned it, they told me that they have seen an ads in facebook and then they researched about it. I suggest they are only a fraction of the entire noobs who recently came in to bitcoins.

Nobody can limit you from using bitcoins unless your government decided to block all the exchanges in your country. I think the only way they could stop you from buying bitcoins is when they create a law that prohibits fiat-crypto conversion.

Is Zimbabwe in Africa? Pardon my dumbness is geography... but anyway, the last time I checked it, Bitcoin in Zimbabwe was double the price of Bitcoin in US. I will not doubt if the entire Africa will move to bitcoin very soon and leave the FIAT behind.

Bitcoin rallied for a while so it has to consolidate. Those people who have earned from the recent price surge will look for another low-priced altcoin to invest in... fortunately, there are some altcoins that has a good profile, and Ripple is one of them. At the end of the day, that's how this entire shit works, you just have to get used to it.

There is ONE thing in this world that only smart people will understand, that thing is called REVOLUTION... I am not wondering why you were wondering though. We are sick and tired of the FIAT scam, there is really no gold reserve at all... the government was never transparent with the money and with its REAL value. But fortunately, BITCOIN is... and that what makes it special.

Hey this is too swag. Don't be too sure when you talk, you might get some noobs buy bags of your recommended coin and end up in a trash bin. It is safer to say that next year will be the year of the altcoins! Think about this - lots of noobs got into bitcoin during the $9000 mark, now imagine what will happen if those noobs discover altcoins by january. That is chicago bulls man!

If I were you, I would buy 4 ETC which is I will hold long term and then I will trade Litecoins starting from 200 USD. I will look at my USD value rather than BTC so that I could easily track my profit.

Yes, it could be... I have read an update from coins.ph that they will soon offer a bitcoin-cash exchange to peso, I assume that BCH blockchain will solve my transaction fees from my local online wallet whenever I want to send money to my poloniex. BTC fees are too damn high right now.

Can we consider buying 808 coins in cryptopia? That shit is staking 17% every 8.08 days via hardware wallet. Anyway, it's kinda good to trade with a buying price of 1 satoshi and selling it around 2 sats.

It will probably hit that $20,000 anytime soon, and if the mainstream adapters won't stop from buying bitcoins, it might reach $30,000 before the end of December. Anyway, correction might occur once these newbies discover altcoins.

Bitcoin is the TOTAL opposite of ponzi. See, ponzi makes the pioneers rich without doing much. Bitcoin pioneers became rich because they hodl... for newbies like you, you don't know that HODLing bitcoins despite of FUDs is not damn easy. You would be tempted to cashout everytime you read bad news from twitter and other media. So where is the ponzi then? You have the power to exit and enter anytime... this is a strategy game, not ponzi.

Today, there is nothing in bitcoins that affects my everyday finances, but to be honest I became nasty and a little bit depressed since I begun trading cryptocurrecncy especially bitcoins. But that was me, you can get all the best out of bitcoins by buying and hodling it... the price will definitely rise as months go by.

So what are the benefits of bitcoins? Since it cannot be transferred instantly, we can just use it to store money so it won't suffer from deflation.

I don't know, it depends on your goals. If you can HODL for 1 year then I guess YES it's time to buy today! But if you feel like you are going to cash out in the next months then I advise you to wait for dips. Buy at your own risk today.

Hey son, stop being a cartoon and go back to reality! If you had read my blog, you would learn that I have left my day job early this year to focus on trading and writing blogs, I actually make more money in crypto compared to my real job considering all the expenses that are unavoidable (food, transportation, clothing, etc...). Money making is a wonderful thing, but you must also think about this - getting full time in crypto is not good for your health, physically and mentally. I suffered from depression, it happens frequently especially when I lose in my trades.

Take my advice, keep your day job... buy bitcoins with your salary, keep it safe, forget about it, and then check on it by 2020. Life is more important than money. Cheers!

You know what, altcoins never die, they only take some rest. The people in our world of cryptocurrency are the only people involved in trading bitcoins and altcoins, so when bitcoin is going crazy rocket then you must expect those who are in altcoins to panic. Worst scenario is they sell their altcoins low just to catch up with the rise of bitcoin price. That cycle repeats all the time.

Man, I honestly don't know what to say now because you totally have a point. Most of the time I prefer Litecoins to send money abroad instead of bitcoin because of the fees. However, I cannot say that bitcoin is garbage because I earned millions out of thin air.

There is no other way to earn cash than BUY BITCOINS AND FORGET ABOUT IT... noobs have lots of tendency to lose money in trading that's why I always tell my noob friends to stay away from trading and just simply HODL their bitcoins and wait for a right time to sell... most likely when there is FUD.

Ordinary people became attracted to bitcoin due to social media and television since the $8000 ATH... now, these people doesn't know about altcoins yet so expect a huge correction next year once these noobs become interested in ETH, ETC, LTC and more... My suggestion is to buy as many altcoins as you can, NOW.

as the old focker said - be greedy when others are fearful but be fearful when OTHERS ARE BUYING BITCOINS GREEDILY! ha ha! CAVEAT.
