I can understand people that are afraid of investments. They see the current situation and no one can be 100% sure that it will work. Maybe it's an easy money, but on the other hand it plays on our nerves too much ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) When it comes to investing there is always a risk, what you need to learn is how to manage that risk, of all the coins in the market bitcoin offers the less risk and if you buy it now the chances the price will go much lower are not that high so your investment will have a very low risk and if you add money management techniques there will not be anything to be worried about, but those thoughts never cross the mind of most investors since the rely on their luck to make money in the markets. Luck won't give us assurance anyway, we should have to strive hard and to see the good results after. Yes the risk is higher compared to any form of investment but the possible amount we get is multiple times than from them. I'll be better to risk my money and work on it.

"If I'm right in the thesis, what do I get?"
"But on the other hand, if I am wrong, what is the maximum I lose?"
With these two bezels on your head, it's easy to size and risk your bet.
The risk is huge and so we must scale very well the amount we have to lose, not to fall into the fallacy of trying to solve life with a single shot.
Only too many people are blinded by their optimism and fail to see the downside. It seems that when it comes to investing people are a lot more naive than in other aspects of life where they're able to think rationally and adapt to risk. It takes right, we also consider and see different aspects of a certain thing cause this could give a way for realization on the market. Many were still holding with their coins even they obviously seen it that there is no signs of improvement and even go deeper. Patience is good but we should not apply it all the times.

Ethereum is not only the king of altcoins and of Ico's... There are a lot of news that are coming in terms of usability. This is the new beginning for the newcomers
This would be exciting and do hope that it will lighten up for the people who aren't believing on ethereum. Many were leaving when eth price drastically fall and also caused many ICOs to fail. And as of what it shown for now, it is really impressive and it shown to us how strong is Ethereum.

I also tried trading many times when I'm still a beginner only to lose some money later. I also learned a lot from these mistakes and decided to learn more on trading before starting again. Newbies should set aside a time for learning the proper way to trade in the cryptocurrency. Successful traders did only learn from studying fundamental and technical analysis but mostly from experiences.
Experience is really a good teacher, we can find best and effective techniques on it. As a starter, it is vital to spend time on market analysis and it's flows to avoid of losing a lot. In a certain that we can't skip on losing and even be successful if there is no scenarios like that. And it absolutely we experienced the same.

Yea people do believe in bitcoin why because it's a digital currency and it's first of it's kind. I believe this trust will be still be there in that bitcoin has stand to be what it was created for and won't fail in it's quest
People love it not just because of its form but they'll find money on this. That is our mental thinking, and it is obviously seen around. Many people were lifted their life into high level of the community and that's because with the help of bitcoin. It is not only the benefits we might get, but it also make way to simplify our work especially for payment services.

I haven't seen anyone predicting about the bottom of BTC and ETH. Rather most of they are waiting to see a good pump. By seeing a long long run bear market, everybody lost their believe from all kind of predictions! So do I. I can't predict what will be the bottom line of Bitcoin and Ethereum but i love to wait to see something positive!
Everyone is on the positive as they'll even struggling for a year with red. As we continue to our journey in crypto, will just hoping for the end of bearish season and it turns into uprising trend. Not totally we look for bull run but at least to see it growing up, it could be enlighten to us.

It won't move to the highest peak if nobody's believe on this. Bitcoin have already created a great history and can't be denied thatany people were become millionaire just because of having these. Though it don't have a fixed asset value but the price is growing every year, and still it have a huge market demand.

Losing? Is somewhat we all experience at this days. Losing won't be the way to loss our hope and always think of nothing in the future. For me, it encourage me and to find ways that could made me profitable even in the dips. Many were losing and they just leave easily, which is absolutely wrong. Losing is a part of our trading journey, that's why we should accept it and not to be way to make us down.

Bitcoin in bank would mean the bank would have to run on the blockchain technology and bitcoin might not be decentralized as it is now
Even banks will adopt the system still it won't be change. It won't make into decentralized one unless regulated by the government. It actually, some banks are accepting crypto coins most specifically for bitcoin as a third party, where we can used to do bill payments. It is a good move for banks and can encourage others to join as well.

Yes we struggled a lot of downfalls but it could be just to consider as a part of bitcoin's journey. But those event and scenarios made it stronger and even getting better and know to almost everyone. The continuous growth of crypto is just because of bitcoin and it came into the huge adoption of the community. Even of how many dips to come, I don't feel any worries cause it recovers again.

It has already happened, Ethereum has replaced ripple on coinmarketcap. The second place that ether sit on is really nice and investors are eagerly waiting for price recovery of ether as ether lost so much during last year bear market!
Yeah,, and the second place of coinmarketcap is deserve for ethereum Because this project was the best blockchain project until now my friend Not surprise anymore since its been of many years that Ethereum is in the 2nd place. Those days that Ripple have taking over Eth is due to the market fall and there is no significant way that it will stay on that place. Ethereum is on the race now and it absolutely regains more investors.

We don't want to loss such big opportunity, all coins are still in cheap price and it gonna be the right time to buy them. Of course, I look forward into the leading coins, though it have a little bit high price than of the other altcoins but the most important is to have assurance. I'm not aiming for big profits but at least we got something from my investment.

When bitcoin becomes mainstream across the globe paper money will be useful as toilet paper. Paper is easy to transport in the analogue world, but now we will be paying using our smartphones with bitcoin wallets via RFID
Not totally paper money will losing its value. Even bitcoin will announced to be legal and verified by the government, still we have to use paper money especially for the remote areas where there is no internet connections. We cant put to an end, instead we consider it as another option of currency to be used for payment and any other purposes.

hi i was just wondering if there where any crypto exchanges that dont require lots of verification i registered with coinbase and within an hour i was getting phone calls soliciting me with services is there any exchanges that just let you email verify like bitmex does and lets you trade between altcoins? thanks
It is required by almost all exchanges as to verify their identity, it's up to us if we will go for that. But it actually we can't either deposit or withdraw our money if we don't comply it. There is no need to worry for giving our identity if we have and I don't think that it could be used for any fraud. That's the only way to allow us to make trades, otherwise you can't.

We can't force them either if they won't buy crypto as they worried if losing. If they can't find their place in here, it could be better not to risk their time and money cause they might only loss everyone they have. Mental abilities and knowledge will be needing, not just by wanting it.

I believe that the cryptocurrency market will go up in the next few months. It seems to me that the recovery process has already begun.
We've been ended the year 2018 with nothing to see improvements from its situation but as we face another journey/year, we should be positive that it will rise again. Not necessarily that we should go for instant recovery but to see its growing and even reaching into $500 at 2nd quarter, I'll be satisfied enough.

actually, Bitcoin doesn't need any miracles to the come back to a good condition. What is happening now is the same as last year's situation. From now on prices may rise continuously for half a year ahead. The only thing that scared the investors/people more than last year is the falling heavier this time.
You're right, bitcoin don't needs miracle, it only be needing more support from us and also our trust. It actually recover fast if we increase the demand since the supply is still enough. May this year will turn bitcoin downfall trend will change its direction and turn back into green again.

I see from all sites the supply of bitcoin is 21 million, and it won't be able to grow anymore. and I think those who say bitcoin is unlimited are people who don't understand bitcoin
We are too far from its limit but it could be possible that we reach on it someday when it fully accepted and used by the majority. Many were still holding thousand of bitcoin and it breach the way to mined the total supply of bitcoin faster. We never think for it as of now, instead we look for the opportunity to make money while waiting it happen.

Even this does not always help to know whether Airdrop is fake or not, from such a large amount of quality there are very few, and those who will bring even less profit!
I don't see any airdrop that could give us much, it only just a pity. I've participated a lot of airdrops before but it is so sad that only few of them will give their promise. It lead into the possibilities that mostly airdrops are just a scam and never expect to have them. That is why, I stop from doing it and focus on bounties and trading.

2018 was a very dismal for most crypto traders, i have also lost a lot of money but i am still holding some coins. As i believe the market would definitely recover sooner or later, so selling all your coins is not a solution, as you have to sell it cheaply.
You make it hold for only coins that have potential for a long term hold. We knows how the market flows and it came to a huge changes that crypto won't be that much profitable as of before. Investors will look for profits as they could risk huge amount of money just for these but losing to much would make a decision to diversify into other form of investment.
