Whitepaper soon.

I really do appreciate it for several reasons.One is of course the profits you make from various sources.
Secondly bitcoin and everything related to me is a source of fun and knowledge.
Never before I actually studied something in depth as I did cryptocurrencies in the past few moths.
So it made me from a procrastinator to an ambitious man guy interested in something.

Actually I came across an article in which it says we're all trading with only 1 percent of bitcoin and other 99 percent is in hands of few people.
Now that probably isn't fully true but it's still scary.
These few people are anonymous,so they not obliged to anyone.They can all dump it at once and completely destroy bitcoin as far as they're concerned.
We should just hope they truly believe in cryptocurrency idea.

People mostly do it out of greediness.
It's just unbelievable how some people are willing to put more knowledge,brains and energy into scamming others than doing something legally.
I always say  if they would just put 50% percent of that effort into something legal and positive they would be even more successful.
On the other hand there are people who as persons are not evil but do scam others out of necessity and poverty.
These are the ones I feel most sorry of.

While I'm not from former USSR I also live in ex-socialist country,Croatia.
It's funny how the situation is similar here.
Your $10 000 a year is considered middle class income here.
To make the situation worse,I'm currently a student living away from home,so I survive off of what my parents give me.
After I spend on rent and various bills I'm left with literally nothing,so any extra small profit I can get is great.

If you already have an experience in trading an you're doing great,then you're already ahead of 90% people here  .
Yeah even though the price is currently pumped I believe it's still good time to study about crypto currencies and invest.
In future bitcoin will just continue to reach all time highs,so it's still a good time to jump in,and for you that should not be complicated.

Well first of all,I know you have the feeling of missing out,but don't rush into trades.
Before investing do a proper research,This includes at least one month period of following news,updates and price action.
Only when you can comfortably predict the price yourself do start trading.
The second thing,investing in a coin just because it's affordable is the worst thing you can do.
After you do your due diligence and actually educate yourself a bit you'll understand why.

I don't think pumps and dumps are good,it just shows that 90% of people are trading just for profit and not because they believe in a given coin.
There are always worst,scammy people involved,these are often small youtube channels,
with 2,3 k subscribers which blatantly lie promising quick profits to uneducated newbie people,whose lives are probably already tough and f-ed up.
I would rather advise you to join fair,quality project and enjoy the road trip and earning money along the way.

First you have to learn how to analyze the market.There are 3 types analysis you can do.
Technical,fundamental and sentiment analysis.Technical analysis is studying the charts and past market data, primarily price and volume.
Fundamental is looking at the economy,politics and various statements which can affect the price.
And sentiment is analyzing people's thoughts and opinions in order to form the sentiment of the market.
When you learn how to do these 3 things to determine which way the market is heading,it will be much easier for you to do successful trades.

Istina jbga,al ko voli nek izvoli 

If you plan on buying for a long term investment,always look for coins with an actual value.
In order to differentiate the good ones from the shit coins your priority is research and learning as much as you can.
This kind of coins are usually unique and actually offer some new ideas and concepts.
Now,if your primary interest is making profit then it's a different thing.
Then look for coins which have established community,and a lot of supporters.
They are often objectively nothing new and innovative,but they create hype and then dump in price,on which you can make some bucks.

Lol I just watched the video.In the beginning,for someone uninformed,he even seems credible.
But that little detail in the end,in which he indirectly calls his daugher stupid for owning 2 bitcoins,is an obvious sign he is purposely exaggerating and humiliating
everything bitcoin related.
It actually gives you a hint he is kinda afraid of bitcoin being too popular.
Remember,half of the things he said in the videos are lies,and these kind of people never do or say anything without a reason or a motive,
especially if they're genuinely not interested in something,as he says.

It is actually something everyone should take into consider,as it's practically inevitable.
The question is not if,but when,and the predictions are bad.
USA just removed the debt limit of $17.8 trillion,and it already increased to $20,5 trillion,and this just sped the things up.
It is estimated the crash will be worse ,not from the one in 2008,but than the one in 1929!
So earn as much money as you can whilst things are still holding up,because we're awaiting some hard belt-tightening.

Actually,reading your post an idea came my mind.We distribute all the old smartphones to poor people,or enable them an easy access to internet.
That way ,if you feel generous enough you can,at every moment,donate some of your cryptocurrency money directly to someone in need.
How amazing would that be,and I always hated all those charity organisations getting rich off of commissions.
Now you can directly and instantly make someone's life better and actually communicate with them.How awesome times we live in.

It is interesting how some famous and rich people tend to say "it was all luck" , while the others,just hard work.
Once I stumbled upon a statement which I like and believe is true -"making money is essentially increasing your chances of being lucky,by hard work" ,
so these two are kind of interconnected.The same is with trading.
It's still 'guessing' ,or 'gambling' but by hard work and with being smart you're increasing your chances of being lucky and getting good profits.

Yeah I had the same problem,when price was around 1000 dollars.
There were like to 'camps' of people,ones who advocated the opinion that it's the all time high and that the price will just be falling further on.
It was actually true until price started reaching all time high again this year,but I still thought it won't go over 2000$.
The other group of people were stating that was just the beginning,and the price could reach more than 10,000$.
Initially I was more sceptical,but now that I've seen price just tearing down 3k,4k and then 5k barriers,now I'm convinced there's nothing to stop bitcoin price from rising in future.

And who exactly is the government,who do they represent?Us,everyday people of course.
So the only thing to do is to start worldwide protests.When your freedom is taken away by banksters' and rich people interests,
so is your freedom and there's nothing else you can do.
World would anyway be so much better place without this prosperity sucking leeches.

Well if you are reading your thread again,you're probably laughing now.
It's funny to read these predictions knowing the price is 5800$ now,hopefully you held the coins.
My calculation for the end of 2017 is it will reach the price of around 6500$.By then I hope to accumulate it as much as I can.
