I think its great to learn about blockchain, afterall the blockchain technology is very useful and now in developing phase, so a formal education will be appropriate approach to develop this technology, not only in Philippines but every countries need to educate people about blockchain, blockchain could be future technology to solve a lot of problems

I think the only effect is the bitcoin price, other than that I don't see any impact is related to crypto gambling industry, the approval of etf won't make people gambling more often and won't make investors go gambling, so I don't think it will affect too much whether the etf is accepted or rejected for crypto gambling industry

Its true that for traders that we can make profit in any market condition, the trend and the sideways could be the way to make money, it doesn't need to be on bull run to make money, for investors and holders they need bull market but for trader, they need timing, news and trend

Yeah no doubt about it, we can see now a lot of coins were sitting in the bottom with no transactions volume, this is because a lot of developers prefer to create a new coin and abandon the old coin when the coin struggling, if no regulatory body prevent the new ICO creation then crypto space will be flooded with unused coin and scam coin

For early adopter hodling has giving a good profit, so for me hodling is not a meme, its a long term investment strategy, but sometimes people could think hodl is just an excuse to cheer up themselves when they make the wrong move or the market is not the same with their prediction, holding is not too good for bitcoin growth but its better to hodl rather than panic sell

It does makes sense, in trading you need to be mature mentally and got a good self control, this is more important than IQ, most of the traders could become greedy when the market situation is rising and easily give up when the market condition is dropping, all of the trading lesson need to accompany by experience, without experience all the theory in trading won't work, this bear market really tested the investors patience and makes the traders need to create a new strategy to make profit, from this market we could know the quality of the traders

Well as a bitcoin enthusiastic, I support if the world want to make bitcoin into a reserve currency, but because its not own by anyone I afraid there will be a lot of manipulation in the price, which I think could be bad, but in other hands putting bitcoin as reserve currency could make the grow become significant and give easiness for everyone to use, I think there are more positive advantages if bitcoin is used as a reserve currency

Losing streak is a common things, I think all gamblers ever experienced about that, previously I was addicted to gambling, I can spend almost everyday gambling, playing poker, blackjack, baccarat and every game, its consuming all my time and all of my money, its an eye opener when I need to buy something but got nothing in my bank account, at that point I realise I need to change or I will be sleeping on the street, and no matter how experienced you are or how good you set your strategy, you wont win in long term, gambling is supposed for entertainment not the place you can make profit

In trading we also need to keep on update the market condition and the newest news, I agree that to become a successful traders we need to do a depth research, we need knowledge, experience and strategy to become a good trader, and we also need to prepare mentally, because not every time the result we expect could become true, by keep on learning and accumulate experience we could become a better trader

Bitcoin has been used in darkweb in a long time and after I read some feedback and article I found out that according to the dark web users it's very safe to used bitcoin for payment, and bitcoin is not the only crypto that being used, but the most popular payment option is bitcoin, some even pay bitcoin to watch certain show, dark web really give bitcoin a good transaction volume, so dark web give a good advantage for bitcoin

To be honest its the profit at first and then after a few years I realise how easy to used crypto and what could happen if the mass adoption start, we can easily do global transaction, no need to exchange currency when we go abroad, the potential to be used in many different things that hasn't being revealed , and crypto has create a new various way to make income, these reasons makes me excited and fall in love with crypto

The problem now is the adoption and the governments permit is not clear yet, I agree that bitcoin will grow better in third world countries because crypto can give a new job opportunities, but in third world countries not all people understand and got the facility to used crypto, and for Atm it won't be too popular in third world countries since it charge a high fee, it will be more appropriate to put atm in wealthy countries

I think the future of bitcoin still full of hopes and potential, I think people are too obsessed with the hyping price in 2017 so most of them not see a bigger picture, the value of bitcoin will increase if there is more adoption, its more important to make people see the bitcoin from the usage and technologies side rather than from the price, so don't too worry about the price, it will slowly go up

The demands of the quality new ICO project is rising, so now the investors are checking a lot of things before invest in anything, the first thing yhgr investor will check the legitimacy of the project, through team developers and the whitepaper, the whitepaper must consist the detail of the project, the roadmap, the vision and the possible implementation, the design of the official website also need to be pay attention

There are so many times I feel superior after get some profit from several trade and could buy the coin without any proper searching, and when I lose my pride get hurt and try to cover the lost by buying it more, and when I was beginner I easily belive all the news and buy the coin that suggested in the group signal, whenever the group said that the coin got chance to grow I will buy it, and I end up with bags of useless coin

It will be depending on how strict will be the regulations, the regulations could attract more adoption, and in some case it could make the investors feel more secure about investing in bitcoin, to be honest we don't need any interference from the government, but bitcoin popularity already so big, so in order to grow bigger we need the government permit, actually bitcoin will grow better without any regulation

The market definitely has grow a lot, and its growing at a very fast pace, now we got more than ten thousands coin, but the grow of altcoun not follow by its reputation, alt coin reputation now is at a very low point, a lot of people see ICO as scam coin and alt coin as a shit coin, and with this bear market I am not going to buy yet, because I haven't see any sign the trends going to change yet

I don't see any reason that bitcoin was created by government, all of the feature that bitcoin got are contrasts with the regulation, and if being overused, crypto could make the economic inflation become worse, so I dont think the government want to create a currency that has the chance to jeopardise the country's economic

Yeah it's a brave move, but I think it's a bit too brave, one of my concern is the volatility, crypto could give huge profit or big lost, but for something that is important like pension funds is not too suitable to invest in crypto, but who knows the result if its not being tried, and this could bring a positive growth for crypto, I am excited yet concerned to see what will be the result

The long bearish market does make the investors frustrated, but there are still a lot of things that can make the trend to change, there are numerous of events that could make the price to go up, the adoption of some stores and the rumours of some countries want to try to adopt crypto, the etf acceptance could make bitcoin price go up, halving could make the price go up but its not the only event that could make the price go up
