You know, life is not fair. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. And in most situation, you lose without any fault: it just happens.
But in any situation, you can focus on what to can do, and come back to fight: to lose, doesn't make you a loser; to quit, does.

This is the real point: bitcoin, banks, governments, bans, and so on are just details.
The war is centralization against decentralization.
If the idea of a decentralized blockchain will work, it will be applied to so many thing that will destroy the idea of traditional power.
And it seems normal to me that traditional centers of power don't like this trend and try to stop it.

As anyone can see, governments have started a war against bitcoin, with all kind of big declaration.
Of course, this will slow down the grow, moreover in public acceptance, but due to the decentralization of the system, I can't figure how the could succeed.
We'll see, I'm very curious.

As it was already stated, it's only pseudoanonymous: I'm pretty sure that if authority wants to find you, it will do.
But there are some tricks that can make this possibility very remote, if you take care of what you do.

It depends, of course; if there is hope to recover or not.
With bitcoin, we can say that there is a clear cycle, so I?m pretty sure that now holding is the best strategy.
Whit altcoins, most of them are dead forever, so the only way is to sell, if someone wants to buy them.

It's already very difficult to make decent prediction in forex, where the market is relatively stable and there are goon method of analysis.
In crypto anything is so crazy that it's much more gambling than investing.
Btw, with a little attention you can at least avoid the most evident mistakes.

You can't really "learn to trade".
I mean, to start it's very simply, you have just to learn the basic and the plattform instruction.
but after that, it's a longlife learning: you can bet that even the more experienced trader make mistakes.
Oh, don't trust who offers payed "coaching" or "secrets": it's a scam.

This is absolutely true. Lot of people here complain about the new rules, but they forget this is not a public institution or a democratic place.
If the owner wants to make random gifts of merits, or ban someone, or anything so, he doesn't need to justify anything.

The problem is that if you want to keep people here you have to find a fair balance: if too many people will become unhappy, they will leave.
At the beginning, this will be very positive: for sure there will be much less spam and shitpost (even if a lot of shit posters are already high rank), but in short time this will mean the death of the forum.

For what I can read here, the only members happy about the new rules are Legendaries.

Please note that to start a business it's not difficult, if you profit of other people experience (by books, lesson, mentoring, just observing, and so on)
You will see that at any step you will hit any kind of strange problem, that - very likely - other people have already solved.
To try to solve by trials and mistakes can be very expensive.
So, find someone that can help you: it's the better way for a safe grow.

I don't think so, at least in the next future: banks have a fundamental role in global economy; even in case of general acceptance of cryptocurrency, banks still will offer a lot o services.

I learned to master panic after years of practice in forex (a very good school, if you want to learn how to trade in crypto), so usually I keep myself cold.
But nobody is immune, so...we'll see :-)

As any "artistic" activity, there are not exact rules to learn, just some basic principles and lot, lot of practice, possibly with the help of an experienced trader.

It's interesting how reactive is the cryptomarkets: almost every one here is a newbie, and it's very sensible to manipulative rumors.
This was a planned bloodbath: whales start rumors, weak hands panic and sell, whales buy cheap, weak hands lose money, whales make big profit.
Nothing new.

Anything on the net can be hacked, but probably hackers will look for a simplest target than myetherwallet. May be, your computer...
So, before to worry about MEW, take care of your machine :-)

Dead? I don't think so. There are a lot of speculation nowadays...
For example, yesterday expired futures sold in november, that predicted bitcoin at 18k.
With bitcoin at 11k, someone made a BIIIIG profit.
Do you think it's a coincidence?

This is a very good bloodbath, as cleans up the market from weak hands and improvised investors/traders.
So, who bought bitcoin in december at 20k with the illusion of fast gain, now have sold everything. Whales thank...

It seems that lot of people here haven't clear idea how bitcoin works, what mining is, what blockchain is.
I'd advice who has this kind of problem to read at least the basic, because it's easy to make big mistakes if there is confusion about basic concepts.

I don't think so, myetherwallet it's very safe. When you hear that someone complain about "be hacked", you can bet that it's his fault.

China has the power to manipulate the market because there is strict control on population net surfing.
But it seems to me just a government histerical reaction to something they can't still understand.

Well, it seems that it's normal to gain 2000% in less that a year, but now every one cry to disaster because there is a fall of 25%...
C'mon, this is the market.
