If you haven't sold you haven't lost anything. Bitcoin is still the same Bitcoin people were paying 20000 for and some institutional investors were buying for 30000 at the top. Nothing has changed in the protocol since then. Forget about the price for a year or 2 and come back after the halving.

Of course it is. If all altcoins fail it doesn't mean anything for Bitcoin. If Bitcoin crashes to 0 it will be the death of altcoins. At least in the short run. Maybe after a while people will have confidence to touch cryptocurrencies again, but all altcoin holders have to not only worry about their altcoin being successful but also about Bitcoin.

You have the wrong idea of a cryptocurrency. A cryptocurrency is based on cryptographic code and has its own blockchain. Ripple has no blockchain and it isn't mined. It was made and distributed with a lot of it being held by its creators. It's the opposite of a cryptocurrency not only because it doesn't have a blockchain but also because it's centralized and managed by a company.

Don't ever sell at the bottom. If you bought much higher you'll only lose both the money and an opportunity to make more money if you sell now.
There are only 2 options for smart investors when the market is crashing. You sell right when it reaches the price for which you bought, or you believe in it and hold until the next bull run.

You're a good example of a scared investor who can only see a month back. Never showed that it could go back to 6000? It was there a month ago! A month is nothing in the life of a tradable asset. Market isn't constantly falling down. Do you even know what that word means, because it looks like you don't.

Because it will recover. There are two ways to look at it. You can look at the price and nothing else, and this will probably tell you to sell, or you can look at the technology and if Bitcoin got worse this year. It did not. It's the same Bitcoin people were paying 4-5000 for in the most part of 2017 and the same Bitcoin that traded for 6-7000 only months ago.  If the price changes without a reason you should know it's stupid to follow the crowd and sell.

There's this huge investment company that used this bear market to become the biggest institutional holder of Bitcoin in the world. They now own 1% of all the coins in circulation and are still buying. If you're scared read about the smart money. Only people who don't have much money are selling now because for them it's to be or not to be if they lose it all. Rich people are buying because they see the opportunity and if they lose some money they'll still be rich, so it's worth the risk.

And you believe this is different with stocks? They are controlled by a small group of board member who together are the majority shareholders. This means that even if you were able to gather up all the other public shareholders you wouldn't be able to dictate anything or change company's policies. With Bitcoin you have the advantage because even if whales sell their stocks the technology will still be there. It will lose most of its value but it won't disappear. If the board decides to shut the company down it disappears.

This is the worst thing you can do. If we were talking about a company stock and the company was having problems it would be a smart thing to do. But we're talking about a decentralized coin that isn't facing any difficulties. It's not getting banned around the world or anything like that. We're in a stage where people are selling because they are scared of the price going lower and that's the only reason why it goes lower.

It's somehow linked to the human perception of a loss. When it's about 80% down from the all time high people start seeing their chances because thee worst is already behind them. If they bui in at 80% or lower and Bitcoin doesn't disappear their chances of getting a profit are 100%. So there's no more thinking about when to buy, it's all about whether you think that this technology will mean something in 2020 or if you think that it will be dead.

I have a similar opinion. It's understandable that you can be busy with life and unable to count posts and manage the campaign, but if you have access to the forum writing a short message to people who you owe money shouldn't cause a problem.


But it's still you logging in, choosing bitcointalk from your tabs, or writing the name in a browser and confirming your password.  It doesn't happen in the background while you're sleeping, or lying in a hospital bed with broken arms.

It's very good. Weak hands fold and strong hands hold.
Every bear market has to end like this where all who were thinking about selling have their backs against the wall and either crack, or say fuck it, I don't care.
This is always the moment when the price can no longer fall down and there's no more sellers. I had that fuck it attitude since we went below 5000 dollars and the lower we get the more people will react like me.

People like to pray on the weak. It's in our nature. Those who are spreading FUD now are trying to say "i told you so" and at the same time release the anger that grew in them when Bitcoin was going up and believers were effortlessly making money. Now it's time for all those grumpy old farts to come out of the woodwork and have their fun.
I don't care. I'm in this game for years and I don't feel like selling before we hit another ATH.

Moving to segwit is safer, many people decide to do it. I did it when Bitcoin fees went back down after that big rise in early 2018. I thought that if this were to happen again I'd lose so much on fees. It's better to go segwit while you can and not worry about the possibility of $100 fees ever again.

Don't be so sure. Bitcoin is so volatile that a single big thing is able to move it by thousands of dollars. If Bakkt and Vaneck ETF were accepted in December we would be at $5000 at the very least. 1000 up or down for Bitcoin is nothing. It could be at 5000 tomorrow, but it could also go to 3000 in 1 day. I expect the situation to get better by March.

Ever heard of something called crowdfunding? This could be the source of money for advertising. It's really not that hard for people to gather in a group and put some of their Bitcoin profits to work. Lack of advertising and central authority that you can scare into submission or put in jail is what makes Bitcoin so unique. We don't need advertising. The beauty of Bitcoin is that most people who really get to know it, begin to love it.

I always rely on myself but there's so many great people in the Bitcoin community that when I'm in doubt I go to youtube and listen to some of the well known Bitcoin bulls. Not the TA guys, the people who are holders and used to be holders in 2011 because they knew how this invention will change the world. One of the great comparisons is that none of us had a chance to invest in the Internet in the early 70s and 80s. Bitcoin is this opportunity all over again.

I've seen this theory before and fully support it. If we stay in this channel we won't see $1000 ever again, but still could go lower than 4000. Anyway, it would still be a great progress for Bitcoin, despite what some people might think. This curve is very common among inventions that slowly gain acceptance. We shall see if Bitcoin continues to go along it in 2019, but with bakkt, etf, and halving getting closer we should expect it.

I know. Carlton Banks has already said that https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5078073.msg48403911#msg48403911
We are lucky that most people are against the idea of tainted coins. I don't see it ever becoming something big like most exchanges and merchants agreeing to support taint.
