Not that we needed a chart to show us that bitcoins value is ever rising but it is clear to see. With all the threads asking should i do this or should i do that its funny how the Halvening events are never cited, ifs just too far out ATM its not a consideration, are people not looking ahead to events which are certain to happen, instead of looking at things which may or may not happen in the next month.

But, but, but... nobody is using crypto because people consider it an "investment", so they just HODL or trade. They are not interested to use it with merchants no, they are not interested in decentralization or privacy no, they just want to make a profit and receive it in their fiat account. Sure not everyone behaves like this, but let's be honest, the majority does. Why do you want to see more merchants accepting crypto if nobody is using, would you? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4756504.msg42963723#msg42963723It is a bit like "the chicken and egg" scenario. If nobody is spending bitcoin merchants as less likely to accept it. Its a bit frustrating for those of us who earn crypto and want to spend it on goods. The run up to $20,000 didnt help in this regard, a lot of people are indeed realising a loss in their "investment" and are not going to spend it now if they havent already liquidated back to FIAT

As some others have already said, everyone should diversify their portfolio, but sometimes people think that trading cryptos is a quick rich scheme... This was maybe true in 2017, this year it is a bit more difficult to really gain profit. I would only invest money in cryptos that you are willing to loose.
Because it is so easy to invest in crypto anyone can do it and a lot of people do indeed think there are riches to be made quickly. I dont care about the stock markets. I am in crypto for 2 reasons, for what it was created for as a payment system (still to gain more useage) and as a vehicle other than a bank to keep some savings for the future. Stock markets are difficult for a lot of people to access and there are commission fees to be paid and capital gains taxes to be paid because stocks cannot be used for anything else so they have to be bought or sold. Gold and Silver for example are worth considering as an addition.

Whats next for bitcoin?
Short term, 6 months - market volatility, price increases and decreases while all the time trending upwards
Medium term, 1+ years - market volatility, from a higher base the markets continue with volatility, upwards trend towards halvening.
Long term, 2+ years - market volatility, more adoption, supply and demand after halvening, trending up.

Bitcoin is for everyone, it does not exclude based on social or economic standing.
Anyone can join with the smallest smallest monetary input they like while being mindful of the fact that it is a risk, there are no guarantees.
This warning has been stated many times "only invest what you are willing to loose"
White not everyone is able to transfer a lot of FIAT into crypto there are opportunities to earn crypto.

Exclusivity Firstly, there will never be more than 21 million bitcoins. There are more millionaires than that. I like to own something that not every millionaire will be able to own. It’s exclusivity. I own something that has a limited supply, so not everyone can own one, but I’ve got lots of them.
Great post by the OP, I love the point about exclusivity and the amount if millionaires. Supply and demand will be a big factor in the future. I would hazard a guess that the bitcoin whitepaper is grossly misunderstood or ignored by a lot of people. All of the points made by the OP are exactly why I have bitcoin. These points are the basics and fundamentals behind bitcoin.

Can we please have a rank after Legendary or some membership available only to Legendary Members for purchase. Its fucking boring, as there is no real perk. And keep the membership ranks at a lower price, people don't want to get broke. 10$ will make do. I agree, I'd love to see something beyond Legendary. Though I don't it should be purchasable as that would undermine the entire merit system, as you could simply buy your way to the top. That being said, there should be something beyond Legendary, or something to recognise exemplary users. As right now there are some legendary members who are anything but respectable, or knowledge. People shouldn't be able to purchase ranks, but I think there should be more donator titles like VIP/Donator which give you essentially the same benefits of higher ranks (bigger signatures and avatars etc amongst other perks), but those titles would be separate and under your rank like they are currently. I've suggested things like calling them 'Patron' and 'Supporter' before. You could even just have Donor/Subscriber. I'm not sure what you'd call it after legendary though, only thing I can think of is master but that seems like a derank. There should be something after legendary yes, maybe requite 1960 activity and 4000 metir (then the legendaries can spam in meta about how unfair the system is too )! People have suggested other names in the past somewhere. Legendary could be bumped up and a new rank takes its place instead. The next rank after Legendary IMO would be Legacy! On purchasing ranks, yea its probably not the best as indeed it would undermine the system but being able to purchase other badges like the copper account but higher levels as it would prove that person was a 'serious' and dedicated member of the forum. There wouldnt have to benefits involved but there would maybe be indirect benefits to having 'a badge'. I wonder why peopke dont display they have a copper membership? If there was a platinum account would people display that?

Positive news has a positive impact on the markets but not to the extent that some people expect.
I suppose good news will help to increase demand but that doesn't mean there will be an instantaneous rush by people to buy bitcoin.

I have registered as above.
Already I see a "deposit fee" of 1.5%
I would guess that the intention of this thread is to entice new members onto LocalXE by rewarding free BTC In order to withdraw those free tokens extra BTC will have to be paid into the members account.
Thats fine with me but it needs to be clarified.
I have not received the deposit yet. Here is a new address generated from the site 3GceoFnLA9oDXuTYjN1BzxvLLDwg1k4g8n

Yes j also think there should be taxes paid on gains after all taxes pay for services like emergeny, education and health along with the general upkeep of a country like water and transport systems.
But as long as crypto is kept as crypto and not liquidated into FIAT no tax is due.

We all in the crypto community hate governments and banks,but we all (or atleast most of us) want to abide by the laws.Laws are created to make nations more organized and civilized.If the government regulations regarding crypto are fair and good for the community and the industry,there's nothing wrong in supporting them.If the regulations are bad,nobody in the crypto world will abide by those rules. Does it make sense to you now?
Yes that is fair enough and most reasonable people would understand this but I think the OP was meaning that the speculators in the crypto community dont care either way. They equate acceptance by a country as a price hike in their 'jnvestment'. There are those in the community who dont care about what bitcoin was invented for or how to use it as a currency, the bottom line is ROI

There are many new coins coming on to the market daily and performing poorly on listing.
Look at the last 5/10 coins that have come onto Binance…. most have dumped immediately on listing, possible by early investors or ico buyers.
Other than occasional increase in value, the trend has been very very bearish...
Many analysts have already said, the value of many alts is 0. So the question im asking is could the move to 0 already have begun.
Why are many on these forums very bullish and hoping for a rise in value that may never happen.
This is what happens, people buy into an ICO and hold the tokens until they are listed on an exchange. As soon as they are listed they are dumped as fast as possible. The true winners are the people who created the ICO and the ones who dumped the tokens the quickest. The people who are bearish are probably the ones who are left holding the worthless previously dumped tokens and the ones who really believed the ICO project had potential.
