Don't you think it's the same false belief that people have in their cryptocurrency gains? They go in, have a gain of 200%, and then a bear market starts and they have a loss of 300%, but they're still holding on to their coins at a loss believing that times will change and they will eventually get even. A year goes by, market changes, they get even and sell at once with a very small gain being happy that they got something out of it and again regret it later when the market forms a new high.
Psyche is a bitch.

There used to be a project called Game that aimed to achieve just that, but I don't think it's doing very well. It lost over 90% of its last year's value, so it looks pretty much dead. I think they will be accepting it because cryptocurrency is much better for tipping than traditional fiat. You don't want to go through paypal to give someone 1 USD.
I think that some pro gaming teams are already accepting cryptocurrency tips.

We were at the bottom of 6000 USD so many times this year. I've checked the charts and we've never defended a bottom so many times in history. At least I couldn't find another similar event. Maybe this really is the bottom? Bitcoin is so easy to manipulate that I wouldn't be scared if we went to 5000 USD. I think that almost all traders that still have fiat to spend are looking to buy at that level.

I bet people in 2017 were saying the same thing. The price was at 5000 in Autumn and when asked if we could go to 20000 the most prevailing answer just had to be no, there's not enough time for that. Maybe 10000 this year if we're lucky. And we needed only 2 months to quadruple the price.
With Bitcoin you can never know. It likes to put people's predictions and patience to a test.

How can you say that early adopters were those who came a decade ago? Even if you joined you were about to make more than 1000% on your investment. These numbers are restricted only for early adopters. If Bitcoin ever goes past 20000 dollars people will be gaining more than 300%. Try making a similar number on stocks. If you do, you're usually an early adopter.

Coexistence is the most probable outcome. Some people think that cryptocurrencies will take over and kill fiat but you can't kill something that is forced upon people by their governments. You can weaken it but removing it completely is almost impossible and I don't think that governments will adopt cryptocurrencies and stop printing fiat.

It will be huge and even if Bitcoin doesn't manage to achieve it it's successor will. I strongly believe in cryptocurrencies and think that they will have a huge impact on finances worldwide. They are just that good and are offering something that has never existed before: independent, decentralized money that at the same time is impossible to counterfeit.

I like the last option. Most of my coins were not bought but earned and I'm not putting any price tag on them.
There is a value that would satisfy me but it's a real world value not a fiat money value. One day I may be able to buy a house with 1 Bitcoin and that will be a great feeling. I'm not exchanging because I don't need more fiat money now. I need more security and more anonymity.

I used to play drunk games with friends. We would usually start by drinking and talking or watching a movie and then somebody always came up with an idea. Let's play truth or dare or poker when people barely were able to recognize the cards or walk straight and usually we were betting money because people do stupid things when they're drunk.
Drunk gambling is much better than normal gambling, you should try it.

Why are you posting these articles here when there's a press section made specifically for them?

I think that price can fall below 6000 at any point because it relies on on the fundamental state of Bitcoin. If something bad happens and people get scared we'll face a dump never seen before. You could see what happened when there were rumors about tether. What if these rumors became facts? There would be a bump on Bitfinex and dump everywhere else.

It won't change. People will keep participating as they are sending money to scam operators, even when those operators get busted or straight off say that they're running a ponzi scheme. The only way to change campaigns is from the source which is the person paying for the campaign and the person managing it.
They won't change on their own because they know that people with red trust or no merit will work for lower tips.

I think that government issued cryptocurrencies are substitutes. Those are fake cryptocurrencies meant to confuse people and make them choose currencies that are endorsed by  the governments and completely under their control. Some people will not realize that and think they're putting their money into an alternative and independent form of money but it will all be a lie.

If we all agree that it was 5% what is there to talk about? A 5% drop in stocks isn't something to dwell upon and it's not a huge loss or a crash. It's a correction!
Bitcoin lost 5% a few days ago and nothing is happening. Last month we lost twice that.

I agree with those of you who are saying that stocks are overvalued. It's correct, but so are most cryptocurrencies. Most of them aren't and will never be used in real situations. Their value comes from the sentiment of investors who hope that other investors will see even more value and buy it from them.

The vulnerabilities already exist. Cryptocurrencies by acting as a wake up call for the masses only make these vulnerabilities more visible.
At least now if shit hits the fan people will have an alternative currency to escape to. IMF is only watching from their own perspective instead of worrying about the people who enable them and allow the banks to prosper.

I think that the market sentiment is largely negative. Since the beginning of the year we have been seeing lower highs and lower lows. Due to this common opinion that 6000 is the bottom we've temporarily stopped seeing lower lows, but we're still seeing lower highs and if i'm correct we're in the longest period without a bull run attempt this year. Last one ended on 2 Sept.

He knew what he was doing. China is against mining, even if you want to pay for electricity and stealing is a crime, even if you're not mining. He combined both of them and got caught. I think that it's a high sentence because he didn't hurt anyone. He stole from the government which is the biggest thief in every country.
Mining is easy if you steal power. The access to mining equipment is easy in China and even old miners are profitable if you have free power.

A very good point.

I think they should also do it because people want them to. We have democracy, don't we? If enough people vote for Bitcoins to be accepted they will have no other choice than to do it. Ok there's another choice, turn into totalitarianism and fight those who want changes.

I think that there's still a chance of us going down to 5000 but the possibility of breaking up is bigger. The ETF decision will play a big part in it. If we get an approval we will go up if not we could be trading sideways until 2019. Bitcoin depends on the news too much and people are in panic mode this year.

I can't agree with you here. If we go below our current bottom at 5800 the next support is right below 5000 and this is the area where most people will place their orders. The most bearish traders like Tone Vays were eying 4800 since we broke 10000 or even earlier than that. Nobody is looking at 2000 because it's below the long term trendline that we were following since 2015 and this trendline is at 4000 and will get close to 4800 in December.

I hope that you do realize that with halvings it will take many more years before the last coin is mined out. It's estimated that in the year 2100 we will still be mining! While I'd like to be able to see this most of us, including me, will never be able to. Our generation of people born in the 80s and 90s will die before the year 2080. The revolution will have to happen much earlier and it will.
