Do you still hold the coins you buy with your 55k? If yes, then keep hodling and have patience. If no, use your 5k to make smart investments. Find promising coins, they are all at very low prices now so you can buy and balance your loses. I hope you did not invest money you need, if this is your last 5k and you need this money absolutely do not spend it on crypto!

Yes active projects is a good way to invest but it is not always easy to know about active projects with small coins. And when you discover new coins you cannot see from the start if it will stay active but the best opportunities to invest are at the start of a new coin, so this is a risk to be calculated by every person.

I use it for trade and some payment to myself currently. I want to be able to use it for a lot of payments in the future when mass adoption comes. I got started with Bitcoin because I got curious when a lot of people talking for it. And crypto was what I discovered together with Bitcoin.

Investors should not depend upon crypto prices. The best to do for your income is try to have multiple sources of it. And if you want income from investment only, it is fine, but you should invest in other not crypto stuff too. To make sure that in case a very long bear market happens like this is turning out, you will not care for the loss and can wait it out.

But how much 300 bounty hunters will help? A lot? Probably not. You need numbers, even more if what you try to sell is very similar as some other product. You must tell ppl that your product, in this case token or coin, is here and what it is good for. But I have seen that this rarely happens.

Firstly, ICO and bounty are not two similar things. I mean to say that ICO is when one wants to start a project and he has now found this way to find the project. Bounties have existed long before ICO and have to do with many things other then ICO. I am ok with ICO not being so many because last year was insane. Bounties will still exist, if there are not so many it will not be a problem because the most ICOs did not pay.

He mocked it right in OP's face if you did not see it. What an accomplishment! Why does this intend, if not contempt? Where you see the statement? There are bots, spammers but also many genuine users. I see negativity and I tell it how it is. There was no need for this comment. Such posts have the intention of mockery, nothing constructive.

Man if we knew that for sure every time we would all be millionairs lol. There is no sure way. Some very experienced traders cannot even tell and even they get it wrong a lot. Just stay informed, listen to what happens at market news and stuff. I am not here for a long time so that is what I do.

Holding is not stupid. What is stupid is to buy at very high price after you have seen that Bitcoin is climbing for months and going down is expected. Stupid is not waiting for Bitcoin to go down first and giving up to fomo. Holding is what you should do with any investment for reasonable amount of time.

The stocks going down is not always an indication that bull run is coming. The stocks are down some time now, even if bull run starts how can we say that this is due to stick market crash if it's going on for so long? Both markets are down for a while now.

I hope that you bought when you were talking about it (I will not read all the pages, it's too many) because as you see, market is slowly recovering. I will not say big words about bull run and moon but it looks better now already. I was hoping bottom was at 3k and it might be correct as an estimation.

It is unfortunate but we will only know if this is a bull run later, not now. For now we must keep our heads and maybe find some good investing opportunities. Bitcoin is good but there are more coins out there. We are very low still in the market prices, a good coin will give many profits if you buy now.

Some very good days for me, I buy at 3300 and sell it today. I have some which I have bought higher and will wait for it to have profit when I sell it. The key is patience. Bitcoin will not do me favors, it does not go up or down when I want but if I wait for the right price it will give me profit.

Last few days have proved that crypto will not go down. But I do not wait for market to go up, I do my research an see how there were pat dips and how market takes long to recover in some cases. That is what makes me confident and I have said to others to not despair also.

Wiser investors or less scam coins? I think the second. But I know as soon as market is up again, all stupid investors will come again and buy the scam coins because people never learn. So I will buy some stupid coins along with real good coins because when there is bull run even the shit coins will go up multiple times. If you cannot educate people then you can make money from them.

I will not leave the market if Bitcoin does not go to zero. Ups and downs are sonething natural, I expect this to happen in volatile markets. When Bitcoin was very high everyone was happy, now everyone is depressed. So volatility does not bother when it is to a positive. We should be honest here.

If one person has one idea to make something, why would he wait for better market conditions? I think that it is also an achievement if someone can make a project now that no money is flowing in crypto than when every shitty ICO was gained millions. Only good ideas will survive.

We are already mid December 2018 so no bull run is the most possible. This is not worrying if you see in the past not every year had bull run and Bitcoin is coming down from a major bull run of 2017 so it needs time.

Why are you here then of you hate it so much? It is not perfect and not with pretty grafics but it is a place for many coins to start their new journey. Good people can be found too, you know. I hope you see them even if you are buried under a ton of your cynicism.

That's right, newbies buy at high and sell at low because they are afraid to wait. I say, if you have big loss then why not wait to see if it will get better in some time? Why sell now and suffer loss? I have not spend much time in crypto myself but I am willing to wait it out.
