Nevertheless, we still have plenty of room and time left for going down before we let the bull run.

Volatility is one of the main problems. It makes some people believe it is nothing but a ponzi scheme. As well volatility is the reason, why it is not accepted widely as a commonly accepted payment method.

We have a strange feeling that it is an opposite signal - to buy not sell.

Rumours of our death have been greatly exaggerated as to paraphrase Mark Twain.
But it might be so (like it is in Japan already according to the news) that once regulated, most of the cryptocurrency exchanges with license might now be allowed to sell specific categories of cryptocurrencies. For now, in most countries, there are no such limitations.

There are too many blockchain projects to simply ban most of the cryptos. Especially the one which psychologically is regarded as THE cryptocurrency. And halving of BTC reward in 2020 will give a major boost to its price. Remember that with a reputation of virtual gold, BTC will be always subject to speculations, just as precious metals. Yet of course, someday Bitcoin will lose its importance and possibly its reputation will fade away. But it is not going to happen anytime soon.

Definitely the potential of ICO's blockchain, the solutions it can provide and why these are unique/way superior to those of competitors. Then, check carefully a roadmap. Does it look like it is real, genuine one or copy-paste one? Next thing which is important is who backs up this ICO. This requires a lot of research as well.

Wasn't ETH supposed to start gaining with the upcoming hard fork? It seems that this is looking like an attempt to manipulate the market.

With cryptocurrency market, 30 years is like at least 150 real years. 150 years ago people believed we will be still riding horses as a form of transport today. No one could expect that in a couple of hours we will be able to get from one continent to another.

But for sure, the blockchain solutions will be widely used.

XMR czy ZEC to zdecydowanie jedne z najciekawszych kryptowalut. Niestety, z racji swoich rozwiązań technologicznych nie są one lubiane przez władze na świecie. Obecna tendencja globalna (od 9/11) polega na kontroli przepływu środków oraz transakcji.
W Japonii już były sytuacje, gdzie kantorom online odmawiano wydania licencji na działalność dopóki nie usunęły prywatnych kryptowalut z listy oferowanych do kupna.
Można się spodziewać niestety, że ten trend może się poszerzać na resztę świata. Na razie Unia Europejska jeszcze nie ma odpowiedniej legislacji regulującej to, ale można się spodziewać analogicznych rozwiązań.

Many cryptocurrency exchanges and projects related to crypto had been banned from advertising by major companies like google, yahoo or facebook. It is hard to grow, if you cannot promote yourself.

This is exactly what they do - start a sell-off and then buying once people started panicking.

Yet it does not change one rule: when Bitcoin sneezes, the whole cryptocurrency market gets sick.

One more reason, that is strong manipulation. The fake news comes from the whales and I believe that these are true words from some members who have worked in this market for a long time.
This is a market that is not regulated by the law so the money-rich can always manipulate the market freely. Bitcoin will recover in the future and that's for sure, it's already available in the whale's strategy.

Whales have such capacity. This is why a "pump and dump" strategy had been banned and is now a criminal offence on the stock market.

BTC, just like USD has fame and reputation which are totally priceless.

This is why both are the top currencies as speaking of worldwide trading.

Na szczęście i na przyszłość - są jeszcze kantory polskojęzyczne spoza Polski i KAS w razie czego od nich nie będzie żądać takiej dokumentacji.

Można też iść zgodnie z zasadą "kupuj tanio, sprzedawaj drogo" i powoli zwiększać swój stan posiadania BTC, czekając na 2020-21:)

Cryptocurrencies are the type of investment which is mostly fueled by greed/fear factor instead of logic. Therefore fundamental can be often more accurate if you are not a margin trader. But technical is also a must, especially if you focus on short term positions.

Strongly recommend you to use some other exchange. For us would be unthinkable to lock coins bought by our customers with verified documents.

In general, this is a starting requirement by the card companies to KYC all the customers when dealing with crypto related businesses.
Unless of course, a company is hiding the fact of being a part of cryptocurrency environment.

On our cryptocurrency exchange, we have now a big number of customers, who accumulate BTC since mid-November. Slowly, but steadily, $50-70 with each paycheck. Not risking the money they cannot lose, and HODLing carefully.
