As people has written, there are definitely some people who has a large amount of btc and therefore can move the market any way they want, only requires a nudge to move the market! and some people say that all these "longs/shorts" are simple "liquidated" by people who move the market up or down and therefore makes money in either direction. remember the market is still very small! 300b market cap doesn't mean 300b has entered the market.

Cryptocurrency is very risky investment to involve in and if you don't know what you are doing it will be likely you will end up losing all your money. However the return of investment is very high than most banks investment.
I Like to think Cryptocurrencies as value storage and not as investments per say. But having/purchasing cryptocurrency, is it a goal towards financial success even for a good or smart investment? that's not very wise, crypto is obviously a very unsteady market! if you're talking about specifically btc then it might make more sense, because no crypto can ever be as decentralized as btc. btc has a reason to exist. 95% of cryptos as a whole is pointless to hold for as a "storage of value", because most of them will cease to exist!

there's no guarantees that bitcoin is 'the future', but blockchain is a new type of technology that already is and will continue to be, adopted in many different fields. bitcoin itself is also the most decentralized coin which is the only real importance when it comes to some type of 'currency' in my opinion. all new projects, all those "new fast altcoins" = a few people hold vast amounts of it, if it's a mining coin, someone saw it early and mined when it was low difficulty. it's never really going to be viable with such a currency since someone is in control of the market in a sense, I believe atleast. so I think bitcoin is pretty steady, beyond that it's better to look for new and unique utility tokens rather than like, "nano"..!

ICO tokens are often not listed on centralized exchanges early on, if ever, but you can likely trade on decentralized exchanges such as https://forkdelta.github.io/. there are tons of decentralized exchanges but that one I think is quite popular.

Coinbase and PayPal? are you sure that's possible? I've never heard of that, no places accept PayPal because it's so easy to take the money back I think. it's possible to use various sites to buy giftcards and trade for crypto but that's with a high markup and not really viable for big amounts!

avoid quoting the whole text like that, takes up a lot of space I think it's quite descriptive, I'd like to ask that it was split up a bit, not so nice to read when it's just 20 lines in a row like that. but nice text

It seems like a fundamental mis-judgement in security, if you use some type of password to begin with? a password to an exchange? a password to an encrypted file? I have written a more thorough guide here, while it covers mostly Ethereum wallets, the general idea applies to any crypto!

Bitcoin is more stable and less prone to crashing by itself, if bitcoin crashes then everything else crashes (usually more % wise), same for bitcoin gaining. however, just as the top coins has changed over time, by finding the correct altcoin/token etc, you could very well earn many many times more by finding the right one. if you feel confident in your own decisions, then I'd definitely suggest putting some time into finding potential smaller valued crypto. I won't name those I'm invested in since I have nothing to gain from that, but if you want some tips on how to determine a good investment, you can read my thread

It's definitely easier to just earn 'normal money' and buy crypto. getting paid in bitcoin by doing 'freelance' work might be a bit difficult because it's taxes involved and such, so whoever employs you might think that's a more difficult process.

No need to be rude to people who doesn't speak the English language. People in here doesn't have the same intellect as what you have. That is why those people who are not proficient in English language is just mainly doing bounties because they can't construct proper English sentences that's why they remained in bounties. Everyone in here has their own choices and options.
I despise shit posters and spammers but you should respect people who doesn't know the English language.
hardly requires intellect to know the difference between you're and your! funnily enough tho, plenty of english natives seem to misuse those aswell, so we can't complain. but, maybe it'd be logical in a sense to not see this forum as an english school, so those who can't speak proper english don't feel forced to somehow write long and bad posts? people rarely stops to correct anything anyway, so it's more just filling up with bad english. there are categories for lots of languages, but perhaps merit isn't used as much there? either way, those who can't speak english and therefore shy away from writing outside of bounties, it's hardly right to say one should have oversight with it. What I am trying to say is just that it's illogical to somehow treat anyone differently just because they don't know english. if they don't know english, it's their loss, not something we as a community should somehow have oversight with and read rubbish? people aren't here as a community service, and not everyone's "text" is equal! and to OP, it's good but this seems again to be one of those futile attempts of telling people how to behave in order for you to receive merit.. while I've not been a user too long here, I think we're beyond the turning point, most forum categories are overrun by low quality and will most likely remain that way.

Very well said! and that's probably why the rich bankers are saying bitcoin is a "scam"; bitcoin will be worth nothing; etc.. they're scared! just don't sell and I'm sure we all will be happy, and the world will actually become a better place! yes. Exactly, they are absolutely scared. But we did not, before I thought it was a scam until I owned the first token ....! that's a funny way to say it, we think money is real but money is printed endlessly, while bitcoin or other crypto's are limited and transparent and yet, it's called the scam

the market is relatively small, and is moved up or down by volume. so whales can short/long the market and then move the market in the direction they want. in a sense, we can be certain the market won't crash completely - why would they kill their golden goose. but it's definitely not good.

That's actually quite a high number! I hope that if we look at the western world in general, the number is below that. 5% with nothing being really "useful" yet? that's too much! we're likely not reaching 100% in a good while, the market will be "saturated" at an earlier point. the higher % that is = lower end point.

if they're not scammers, and they got another investor, clearly you'd get your money back, or - better yet - you might get your stakes from the ICO, but they simply wouldn't accept new investors. don't you think their "new investor" would shy off if they were scamming people?

it's true and also a bit problematic with the whole market following the movement of btc, sure one can break out temporarily for whatever reason (people invest in the pre-announcement of the announcement blabla), but in the long term, we need altcoins to be decoupled from the bitcoin price I think. is there really any reason to have such a similar movement? it's just people having to trade through btc?
