It will never stop, there will always be those people who want a lambo in super quick time
and bitcoin is the way in their eyes, but if you dont have patience there is a high chance
you will be punished.
I agree aboit the number of threads, bitcoin rising, bitcoin falling, is this the end? Is this
the beginning? When will we see $20,000 again? Prediction for 2018, when is lambo time?
I agree with others when they say a lot of people got in at the wrong time and are paying
for it now, some may even have borrowed fiat to get into crypto.

So i can take the message from above to be real diversification means not everything in a portfolio should be crypto.
Next question should be if i want to add some Gold to a portfolio can I get it by exchanging crypto for it rather than using fiat?

FOMO was a factor in the run ul to $19k, there was an expectation that bitcoin
would keep going and so a lot of newcomers took a chance and bought into
the hype. I know of a few college goers who bought into it around October
which was not a good time if you were getting in to ride the train unless you
sold in December.
Of course it all happen again but it might not be for another 2 years.

An idea of concept struck me to narrow my portfolio, why? I think the concept
of moving coins/tokens which may be low or non performers into the obvious
Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Monero reliables.
Has anyone done this already?

In my country i understand that we can trade from altcoin to other crypto
as much as we like but as soon as we convert to fiat we pay 33% in tax just
the same as investing in any other stock market activity.
So yes i would be scared of taxes

Its goint to replace cash in the future and its as good or bad an idea as fiat is.
If and when governments implement it people wont have a choice but to accept it
It will become the financial norm. I dont like it because all buying and spending will
be traceable by governments.
People will see the negative sides to this and move to bitcoin

In my opinion I am beginning to believe that all the funds that were suppose to get into bitcoins for it get to a higher price are diverted to purchase ICOs tokens and this might be the cause of bitcoin fall. If I have bitcoins, and I spot an ICO that has a potential to be the next great coin, I will probably sell my bitcoins for it, and this I think is part of the cause of bitcoin fall. What do you think ?
What you are referring to is like the crypto market is being diluted and instead of 10 or 100 projects to choose from there seems to be that much being created every week in ICOs which does divert investment from bitcoin and other established coins to reduce market share. This is not the sole reason but is probably contributing to bitcoins movement. |

80% is indeed low i think. Anyone who got into crypto at the latest in January/February 2017
should be showing very healthy % gains. My portfolio is modest and im showing over 2000%
in my blockfolio portfolio

I too believe that price/market manipulation is the biggest problem for crypto sphere. This not only stops people from traditional assets to shift to cryptos, it also leads to panic selling and high volatility. Because of the less market volume, whales are manipulating the market heavily which go against the Technical analysis and hence, leads to panic and FOMO. This prevents people from trusting cryptocurrencies as an investment asset and that's why there is a slow involvement of new investors.
The manipulation leads to higher volatility which is good for traders to make their profits but for more acceptance it is not good. Newcomers suffer from FUD and FOMO which only adds to the volatility, for me volatility is a problem which also restricts bitcoin for example being used more as a currency. |

I have been adding to my portfolio holdings bit bit with small amounts at the dips for the last 2 months.
In this market it enables me to lower my average buy price of the coins it balances the higher prices i paid earlier in the year.
So im really doing 2 of the above poll choices buying and holding

Minus the obvious BTC for the looong term win, I'm going long on:
(1) Sia
(2) Dent
Here's why:
(1) They're both really cheap right now
(2) They both seek to unsettle massive players in established markets. Sia is smashing cloud storage players and DENT is disrupting data strongholds in mobile
(3) They are already delivering fantastic products
What are you long on, and why?
Im on long term hold for SIA also and have been for about 12 months, the current market situation is being looked at negatively by some people but its a great opportunity to average out those buy prices with bear market. SIA has been mentioned a few times already, is a solid hard working project with good forward moving developments, I truly believe in its future along with my love affair with BTC and LTC. |

The only way i can see a blockchain being destroyed is if all mining stopped for long enough
for peoples computers to be so old they are replaced and that blockchain is long forgotten or
if the internet was permanently shut down.
Even if mining temporarily stopped as soon as it starts again block creation will resume from
where it stopped.

A course on crypto currency would really be too complex because there are
so many crypto currency projects disrupting different technologies.
Instead a course on blockchain would be worthwhile because all crypto currency
runs on blockchains.
Other related courses would be beneficial and related to crypto would be beneficial
like learning a computer language or learning about trading and technical analysis
these could help in understanding whitepapers of new projects and of course
help in understanding the markets a bit better.

I dont agree that its stupidity that is changing the markets its more about
inexperience and how the inexperienced react to news both in the mainstream
media, crypto media and forums. They suffer from FUD and FOMO which affects
the markets.
We have to expect this as part of the crypto scene. Anyone can get into crypto
whether they have experience or not and with whatever amount they want
compared to traditional stock markets.

Technical analysis is a very wide subject and has its own learning curve. This forum is a great resource but its so vast it will take some researching to accumulate the information required. I suppose there are a couple of topics which feed into the technical analysis like: Understanding the particular projects you wish to invest in
Keeping up to date with developments
Keeping up to date with market trends and what others are saying about those projects
Monitoring news
How to read market charts for tradingI would expect technical analysis in crypto to be related but probably not the same as stock markets there might be information which can be applied to crypto in this link > https://www.investopedia.com/university/technical/ |

I am looking to sell off some of my coin collection starting with this lot of World Silver Coins. More detailed images can be provided, these are scans from the coins in their bags. Some are very low mintage and some are very high mintage as per the details on the cards. Most bar 1 or 2 are in very good to mint condition [i dont know how to grade coins] Details are:  |

I suppose you mean its denomination of "satoshi" but it has arguably a
few denominations but the following being the most popular:
Bitcoin – BTC – (1 full Bitcoin)
MilliBitcoin – mBTC – (1 thousandth of a BTC) – BTC 0.001
MicroBitcoin – uBTC – (1 millionth of a BTC) – BTC0.000001
Satoshi – 0.00000001

Im not overly anxious at the moment really. The markets will probably continue to fall due to to both investors movements and but FUD but at some point there will be a buying frenzy by investors and that can also lead to FOMO by newbies which will see a healthy rise in value. Before all that though this site is predicting a bit more of a fall, how they figure it though Im not so sure > https://longforecast.com/bitcoin-price-predictions-2017-2018-2019-btc-to-usd |
