The whole increase and decrease is called price movement. It is as a result of ask and bid. When you have much investors that want to buy, the price increases and when there are fewer buyers or on the contrary if much are selling (just like the usual word here known as dumping) . This is just the simple explanation of the increase and decrease in price.

You have really made a summary of the financial tussle between banking system and cryptocurrency. It is the obvious that the monopoly of banks is being threatened by another power change just like banks took over from traditional mode of financial transactions.

In my opinion, OP could have scored a merit on his post. I wish I had a merit to give.

Hotel ico is going to be one of the big breaks for cryptocurrency. It is going to facilitate the payment of resort bills, accommodation and hotel services and travels.  Trippki is working on that soon.

Those people are definitely the owners of social media inclusive. They are not directly putting up fuds but they are doing that by coming down on ico and knowing very well that it will affect bitcoin.

The coin has really been up and heading to some breaks.

It is about awareness. The cryptocurrency is growing in strength and more people are beginning to adopt it, thats why bitcoin is getting more attention. More investors are putting money and this is growing the market faster, so price too can't be stagnant.

Yes so many coins would not survive if there is regulation, even the so called "well doing" coins that we are taking the lead in cmc might not too. Surprises usually come with changes and I won't be surprised if another technology other than blockchain emerges.

The thing about this merit system is that it is two side of the coin. It helps the forum to reduce spammers, account farmers, shit posters. On the other hand, it works on the contrary to limit the low ranks from speedily ranking up.

And personally, I also see that it is difficult to earn merit. What seems good post to many, others would even call it shit post. Is a biase method but I also like it because it is helping members to improve in their ideas.

If it is to have an adverse effect on cryptocurrency, it won't have an extra ordinary effect on it. These are part of the fud that the digital currency has to pass through. We have read about so many of such cutting across most of the big names in advertising. So we don't expect it to be of much problem. It shall become the past.

I do not see dumping to be what affects bitcoin mostly . Fud is one key factor that affects bitcoin and it causes people not to invest anymore, the people holding might not want to sell though but when there are no new request for buy then the market and volume keeps going down and this affects price.

I see trading as profitable more than investing and hodling because it could give faster returns. Having more traders is nice for any market. It indicates that the market is growing and attracting more awareness . So it will help marketcap.

The internet is a big advantage to crypto and bitcoin general quite alright but I don't believe that as individual ,we can do much as to give a push to bitcoin because we spread fud ourselves.

The legality of it confirms that it is safe to invest in. I don't put money in shady business if I'm warned ahead. I could get on with some legal actions if it turns out bad, I claim for damages or specific performance.

Investing with a borrowed money is risky more especially when you do that with mortgage. You can lose your property if things don't work as planned in the investment.


Is now getting clearer why users get in happy mood is activated sometimes. I guess at such time, hopes of repayment comes alive  .

Is really unfortunate about OP's friend. Buying at such high price will be a very bad news and some people could have bought more than one. I feel it, just hodl and keep being patient. Something good could happen soon.

But can we really analyse the market here talking about ico. Ico is initial coin offer and that means it is a new introduction to the crypto market. Thus, the market (crypto market) can't be analysed alongside the ico coin which will be absent at the moment of analysis because it was yet to come to the market. With this little analysis, we can see that analysing a new coin with crypto market won't really apply unlike fx that you made mention of. Every currency in Fx trade can be analyzed because they are always present and traded, the history can be looked at for analysis.

I see the whole bank and government issues plus the ban fud as the challenges that comes with an innovation. Change is always resisted. Both in government policies (Obama's health policy was fault) they are never allowed a breathing space until the benefits starts sinking.

Currency is just a more sensitive issue.

Likewise bitcoin, naturally fighting for it wouldn't make much to convince the world rather, the world would see it benefit and starts a massive acceptance leading the governments to adoption.

If we can't ascertain rightly whether it is a bannable or deleting of the post. Plagiarism is generally considered as a criminal offense and one would be charged as that.

Even in project or thesis writing, referencing of a source, an author and quoting a lifted word or phrase is important. Thus, a stricter measure rather than mere deleting of a post should be appropriate.

Psychology in terms of trade should be tied to experience because every trade is different from the other. In this regard, we have to build our experience from each trade by understanding the ups, lows and ATH of the market. Again, we need to take away our emotions to trade. This way, we can be better as traders.

As usual, it depends on the country. A country that has enshrined the taxing of digital currency in their constitution would tax on it, maybe during conversation to fiat if they can't ascertain when it was received - off course, because it is decentralized.

There will be need to worry if the coins are also in the wallet except he does not intend to use it which I doubt.

I have seen many threads on merit. Some posted on a wrong section and members posting right there even when they know it is on a wrong section either to make up their post count.

Merit has become a distraction to members and I'm sure to the mods too (if they would admit) because they would have had so much merit issues to deal with, from merit collaborators and related issues. Members now put up threads on merit issues, how to be merited and that... rather than throwing up bitcoin and related discussions.

Prior to the merit system, the automatic activities system upgrade never gave the forum this kind of infiltration threads on activities across the sections . And, even when they are, they were mostly on the meta section.

I think the reason for seeing such merit threads is because, it is manually given. If it were automatically merited,  the infiltration of threads won't be here with us.
