Cryptocurrency market capitalization in total is almost 300 billion dollars coins that are officially listed on CMC while the current stock market cap of Facebook is 440 plus billion USD title is a bit misleading crypto cap is already billions the difference is that Facebook alone has the largest figure for capitalization, cryptocurrency is still young as it needs tons of improvements, upgrades, innovation and useful platforms that rival the traditional, hopefully the future development will have an expanded and competent products or platforms.

Yes that the thing most of the people who sold their bitcoin is the one who FOMO'ed when bitcoin is surging and trending the one who enters around 18K to 20k plus USD they think it is the easiest ride to go to the moon so they expect a lot, unexpected events occurred as the market correction enters added by the people who constantly cashing out because its holiday seasons and the rumors about the MT.Gox trustee selling his pack of coins, it will gonna bounce back soon then some people will repeat the cycle itself.

There are some cryptocurrency that possesses some potential to be a form of payment rather than a pit of pump and dump groups basically it is more into microtransactions pros rather than a fluctuating asset like the former cryptocurrencies, some platforms already implemented some features to use bitcoin as a form of payment, salary, utility transactions and more but it is lacking that our traditional fiat currency have and it needs to tend that feature in order to fully benefit.

If your pretty confident that the coin you are holding have 100% potential to grow given the market condition then do it but is there a coin possess 100% guarantee that it will return a skyrocket profit? probably there's none, there's no coin impose perfect accuracy that it will grow in no time in the future, those who invested and hold bitcoin until now accepted the bigger risk of investing in cryptocurrency, your going to miss tons of coins that constantly pump throughout the time and it was proven for the majority of legit top altcoins, reduce your risk and diversify in order to maximize the return on profit.

both of them imposes different risks influenced by the current market condition or the possible potential of the ICO, they both possess some ups and downs, day trading requires a regular monitoring to the markets price flow while on the other hand ICO it takes more time to know the result of the sale.

This a pain in the head actually mostly if the crowdsale started from the bull market where all the price of the cryptocurrency which is accepted as a payment for an ICO is high then it finishes when the market corrections and crashes are starting sometimes it is better to wait for the actual release of the token the exchanges cause your going to see some tokens more way cheaper than the presale with the addition of bonuses.

Situations for those who got ETH all because of FOMO from the bull period of time last December is a hold or loss condition generally for those people who bought at 1000+ USD that is a 50% plus loss, if your going to sell that is a tough decision as it may go up and you may miss the opportunity but at the same time you may cut the loss the damage is the half of your investment, if your going to think of it ETH is still young as it is still emerging and developing, there would be more features and potential that may be added on the future or some good news that will bring the price pumped as high. holding impose some risk but the future rewards are more promising than cutting your loss by selling.

For cryptocurrency occurrences it is normal to have fluctuating dumps and common bear markets due to some major factors that we already know about it, bitcoin history says it all massive crashes just happened overnight 237 down to 67 USD last 2013 not to mention the MT.gox hacking disaster for almost 50% major loss to its market value and price, dumps and bears are totally frustrated that breaks our momentum towards the 20K bull market ATH that's why the common and simple encourage of community just hodl is necessary, it will be paid off in the future given that you hold the right coin.

Hoping that they will bring a decent exchange to us if not this news would be in vain to help the cryptocurrency economy but on the other side, I'm glad that Yahoo is catching up with the trend.

Gladly that G20 acknowledged cryptocurrency as an asset and did not listen to those idiots who are spreading false information and news ranting that bitcoin is a bubble thingy or dead, some cryptocurrency acts more like an asset rather a currency well is it nearly profitable to treat it as an asset to hold rather than to spend everyday.

As you say it is just a rumor, no exact evidence that Mt.gox trustee is the owner of that bitcoin address as they are currently under investigation for the said notion, maybe some other people owned that address containing 7K btc it is not possible that other people still possess large sums of bitcoin from their stash, the thing is you cannot stop people from selling their coins as long as your not dumping bitcoin like the trustee did if he was guilty of that, bitcoin will always come down but not stagnant from the bearish market.

That's a realistic number compare to an over exaggerated price predictions of Bitcoin and Ethereum, more people are saying it will break the resistance of 500 USD going for the bull market price of $1000 probably more let's just wait for all the cryptocurrency to recover from such attacks then we can probably experience to cut our own losses last December this would be the proper time to buy more don't just drag from those FOMO guys that is one of the mistakes of some people.

Remember some termed Great ICO which possess the said qualities, ratings, support and they even have a decent team but in the latter part of they scammed people well that's the risk of going for an ICO without a proper digging to their projects and the products which are under development, it will always depend on the proper reasoning as to why they need to hide their own faces for their ICO, due to the growing fraud ICO numbers they need to guarantee the integrity of their project and the assurance cause they will need a full trust from their investors to succeed.

Bitcoin may not be the ace of hope for the entire economics to be at peak again due to some coins who can be the rival of the said coin, tons of cryptocurrency incoming from the future trying to surpass the predecessors and the pioneers of crypto or it will be further upgraded and developed due to some circumstances we may not know the exact thing but the important thing that all the cryptocurrency are carrying is the blockchain, this would definitely the innovation and the breakthrough of the future no need for rush, step by step the economics will go to the moon.

That's the common one but some airdrop are ridiculously requiring their own participants to fill the KYC requirements which is insane to do with just a free 1 - 5 dollars worth of tokens, I'm just a newbie with bounties that time and a member of a telegram ICO group and most of the members are asking if the projects require KYC to claim tokens, ask some member then they said that some ICO's even the airdrops require their participants for KYC, giving a sophisticated information for a few bucks no thanks.

No doubt how bitcoin made the transactions swiftly and rapidly that totally eliminates the third party transactions which are the traditional banking, owning the private key have the fullest advantage over the blockchains full potential, however, threats never cease to exist, not just the basic functions that you need to learn but some technical knowledge about the security and protection of your wallet against hackers, Hot wallets have a higher risk of being stolen by the hackers, double checking is necessary for the transactions you may send bitcoins to the wrong address, viruses such as copy paste malware can decipher and change the pasting of address from clipboard so extra precautions and safety is necessay to avoid this types of incidents, better to store large amount of coins to cold storage device.

Bull party has not yet started, It was paused last year in December during the Christmas celebration and New Year, it was frustrating moment for all of us but I have a news for you we currently have a party for a couple of months we call it Bear party there was no definitive answer as to when it will end, the resistance of 9K is strong so we must have a strong push of price to break the wall then we can resume the wild party of the bull. Just enjoy the current party as most of the price of the coins drops from their former bull party price this is the time to buy more discounted coins, be careful though as not all of them are beneficial in the future.

That why it never gets stable, tons of factors influencing the volatility of this coin and that is one of the reasons why. Some investors are still afraid after they dig up some money into cryptocurrency, just a little dump, negative news and regulation they panicked, we also have to consider the upcoming events in crypto, google ban is not yet implemented it will take effect on June so expect more articles and news on that month other unexpected problems will occur in the future and also some positive events so expect another dizziness of price this year large numbers of price will get on a roller coaster.

I smell some whales remaining on that year would be deliberately dumping their stash of bitcoins in their old chests how could I say their reasoning this time? a whale will dump thousands of bitcoin worth trillions of dollars each because they panicked or they will say they just want to buy some pizzas worth of bitcoin kidding aside that would be the possible scenario if that would happening in 2020 but the current market condition and its surroundings, the possibility to achieve that state of price is nearly impossible for now even the 1 million prediction of McAfee have a minimal chance to achieve.

We have different motives when it comes to bitcoin, cannot force them to hold bitcoin as it is going to be the opposite of what the blockchain for, that is true that some regulations cross the lines in cryptocurrency that you need to submit in the policy of KYC on exchanges, local crypto services imposed by the government and wallets they want you to be identified in order to regulate bitcoin and its users. Positively speaking this would help the authorities to fight fraudsters and criminals but the downfall would be the risk of our privacy but if you own the private key then your not required to be regulated.

That is how the data mining on advertisement and enterprises online works, Google uses the most keyword searches that you're using, for example, most of your searches are all about cryptocurrency, google ads will start to pop out some crypto related advertisements like ICO's, exchanges, wallets and coins on some of the websites that you will visit in the future, it also applies to the applications installed on your smartphones, I recently discovered that some of my apps are secretly conducting data mining by sharing the list of my apps installed on my phone by the creator this will make the promotion for the advertisers easier to conduct as they know what is the wants, hobbies, foods, and apps of the user its very alarming that they are invading our privacy.

These days scammers and theft disguises themselves to be a legit project, you can't just stop assessing an ICO because they have a fancy whitepaper, website, a legit look-alike team member and a responsive support during the pre-sale and the actual crowdsale, check their whitepaper if they are developing a believable and a working products or platform, don't just fall from their promotions and bonuses there's a case that the actual release from the exchange is cheaper from the deal, check the background and the authenticity of the team member mostly the founder you must validate their identity if they are a real person, be cautious as anyone can create their own ICO.
