Real estate represents ownership in something tangible and real. Long term, the price tends to outpace inflation, so it’s a good investment for this reason alone, but it also produces income on top of that. Bitcoin does not, and on top of that, is extremely volatile. I’ll take real estate over bitcoin as an asset class any day. I don't know for others, but in my town the prices of real estates are rising in the past few months! Some people I talked with say there's a huge demand for houses around the town, near lakes, mountains. They explain that because of Covid-19 people couldn't live homes, go abroad, they focused on buying some land out of town where they can run away in any moment. It's good to take real estate, but it has expenses, it's not like you can just take it and leave it there, you need to pay taxes for that, there're other monthly and yearly expenses. With Bitcoins, you don't have troubles, you just put it in the wallet and keep them, with real estates you have a lot of work and expenses.

More than 100 years is required to mine the last BTC and I am afraid no one will see this day, unfortunately.
Danslip our grandkids will be alive to witness that event! And if we are smart today they will have some coins from us, and they will have their own dilemma to sell them or hold them, like we have now. This is just a newbie, without some big knowledge about Bitcoin, but he wanted to make some point, I just don't understand what he wants to achieve with this topic. He will need to learn everything again about Bitcoin and crypto-currencies, the knowledge he shows now is under the line.

We can expect the great soccer, like in every season! This season will start with empty stadiums, the extra player, how many people call fans on the stadium, will make a little difference for the players on the field. Home teams will lose advantage of the home field, but they will have the easier task when they play away. I didn't make any bets for now, I am busy with many things, but as seasons starts I will get back in the game slowly!

Of the altcoins out of the top 20, I still value BAT the most. It is mainstream coin and has real product and can have an impact on consumers. Brave browser is a very stable browser and has many functions not unlike Google chrome, or even better. They are gradually developing it to new heights and when more people know about it, BAT will surely have a very high marketcap. If anyone wants to hold altcoins, I encourage to hold BAT, it is really a great business.
I hold BAT and I have some ways to earn little amounts from day to day. It's really a great project, with the real product, and I believe in long-term success of this project as you do. I have some amount, but my goal is to have at least 10k BAT tokens for the future. We can't speak about the future and know when we will see BAT price rising, but I believe in the potential of BAT and I think who is in crypto-currencies should include BAT in crypto-portfolio.

In my opinion, it is never too late to invest in cryptocurrency because the price fluctuates quite quickly. It's just that it takes the right time to enter correctly, you need to know the risks you will accept yourself.
It's not too late Cassavachips because I believe that crypto-currencies are still young, only Bitcoin is 10 years old, most others are much younger. Many people still don't know about crypto-currencies, and many who knows don't use them. Countries, institutions, companies are not in crypto-currencies, when mass adoption starts and all of them join crypto-currencies we will see huge rise of prices and in that time it will be late for buying and making profit.

Just like ICO, proof of stake,masternode, IEO and DEFi. The trend will come and go but few survive the jungle.
This is true, and it's on us to recognize the trend and take the best from that period. Just some will survive and become successful in the long-term, we need to be careful and research all projects before we invest money. Nothing is risk-free in this world, so we need to risk with some investments, to believe in them when hard times come, and hard times will come and just the best and the strongest ones will survive.

I don't agree that all entertainment things must have an external limiting feature. You can trust in external limiting features that will learn what is good and bad for you, you need to learn that for yourself. You need to have a self-control, ability to manage your emotions, your actions, you can't expect from others to live your life and to help you to not make a mistake, it's all on you!

I am new to the crypto world. Im planning to invest in Eth because i have an instinct that this will rise up in the future. Any thoughts? Help .
Investing on crypto always a good decision .However you have a plan to invest on eth its a good choice .Eth has strong development team and vitelic trying hard to make the future shine .So i think you can invest on it. Sarmrakib you forgot to add that Ethereum is trading at $360 at the moment, and that is a good price, after the top at $480. I doubt it will go deeper, I am reading what experts wrote about, this is the new bottom, and if we don't buy now at this price we will buy over $400 in next few weeks. This is a good entry point for newbies, and for us holders as well, the price can have the uptrend from this point now.

For me, Ethereum should be included in the current portfolio, but if you don't like it maybe you can replace it with TRX or Doge and XLM
Ethereum should be in every portfolio! I have Tron, Doge and XLM, but I don't think that they should be replacement for Ethereum. Ethereum is the best platform for a reason, and even this recent spike with fees didn't shake that first position. I have faith in your suggestions, but I don't think they will have the same success as Ethereum can have in the future. But each of us is free to handle portfolio in the best way we feel. In that manner I support all people who have crypto-portfolios with their own choice of coins and tokens.

Actually we can't blame a person if they gamble for money since it's one of the best ways and most risky ways to double or triple your money in a short amount of time and in regards with other users like me i look forward in gambling as recreation however it's true that even if we don't care about the money and look forward into its game play I think we are still at risk since we wanted just to win and to win. It's really important that you have self-control. Zidanw we gamble because we wish to win, it's a great feeling when you win, but gambling is losing as well, trying to win means that you are risking with your bet, only if you have a good prediction you will win. It's excitement, and gambling with more money is more risky and it gives more excitement. Some people know their limits, and some don't, I have control and I know how much excitement is enough for me, I guess that comes with years and experience. Each of us has unique experience in gambling, but it's important to have control over your emotions and your money, to know how much you can spend for risking to make more and to have fun in the same time no matter do you win or lose.

Somedays ago, Kick price reached above 40 satoshi but now its price has decreased at 20. That means, Kick price has backed to its half. Do you think, this is the best time to invest on Kick or wait for again price fall? Your well thinking suggestion is highly appreciated.
No, don't buy kick. The price was 40 satoshi a few days ago because of the buyback. They have rules to buyback programs and they did it a few days ago around 100k$. That's why the price was increased. Though they are working in my opinion it's a good choice not to buy KICK token. Iamaruf I am just checking their site to see when they plan to do buyback again, but I don't see anything about future buybacks. Do they announce that buyback before they do that, or it's surprise for everyone when they decide to go with that? Who wishes to trade with Kick should do that before the buybacks, it's the only time when price have a bullish period.

Supply and demand is the only thing, there is nothing else that could set the price, there is no person behind bitcoin, it is just all a big supply and demand. Sometimes there is more people buying than selling and sometimes there is more people selling than buying, which changes the price of bitcoin, that is all we have as info.
Obviously there are whales who will want to manipulate the market and sometimes they succeed but they are not changing the price because they can, they are changing the price because we do allow them to change it, it is a power we give it to them. When a whale buys short futures and sells couple thousand bitcoins, instead of saying "thanks for cheap bitcoins" we end up panic selling and we help them, if we do not allow them there is nobody that has power over bitcoin.
I agree with you Beerlover, we all contribute to Bitcoin price changes with our actions. Whales with more coins in their wallets can move the market, but as you are saying, they just make manipulations with couple thousand dollars and newbies follow, it's how everything start. Whales alone can't do much, but with careful placing orders here and there they can trigger others to do what they want them to do.

If I am told to choose between Gold and Bitcoin, I would prefer Bitcoin for my future investment and the potential will be better than Gold, why would I prefer Bitcoin for investment because I will hold Bitcoin for a long time and I believe the Bitcoin price will be more well when the time comes. Unlike gold, if I invest in gold for a long time, I am afraid that the price will not go up when needed and want to sell it the yield is not what we want in the future.
Warkop I agree with everything you said, but except the potential better rise in the price, I think Bitcoin have many more advantages over Gold. What we can say about the future from this point now is that we are going into digital era, people are connected on more ways now than ever before, and Bitcoin is digital, it can be the money of the future. Easy to hold and transact, you can work with Gold in the same way you can with Bitcoin. My choice is Bitcoin, if I have gold I would sell it and I would buy Bitcoin.

As a holder I don't think I missed something with selling on top and buying the dip. I could do it and have more coins, but it's the risk I am not willing to take. If the price start dropping after top I will buy more at the bottom, with my own money, and it's how I accumulate without risking coins I have. Some people are greedy, and they wish to make more coins quickly, I am not like that, I build my portfolio slowly and I don't mind others who trading and risking to make more, each of us has a choice.

The reasons from OP just confirms what we all know, gambling is not for kids and people who are not aware what gambling really is. You can't hope to make profit without any skills, and without risk. Gambling is risky, and while you can make profit you can lose money you have as well. Gambling is gambling, and if you are not aware what gambling is better stay on a side and just watch before you learn something.

I noticed that some of your pick are DeFi projects, these are real DeFi projects and they are all good choice but one coin that is missing in your list that deserves to be in everybody's portfolio and that is Tron, the development team of Tron just created Sun and millions of Tron are stake on this new mining token as I'm writing this they have a huge jump of 19.4% and this is when all the other coins are still falling.
Better to say billions of Trons are locked for the genesis mining of Sun token. +7 billions locked and rising, it's just first week. It's a nice list, but why Polkadot is the number 3 on this list? Very young project, they yet need to prove they are worth the attention. I see Polkadot on many places, and I have plans to invest, but somehow people have high opinion about the project that is very young.

What do you mean by here?
I know Changelly before but not aware of their status but either way, if a certain service increases their fees, it's not a scam.
You can change it instead to, "Don't use their service as their fees are horrible and insane".
I agree with you Goinmerry, it's not a scam if they have higher fees, the headline is not right. You gave him good advice, OP should change the headline. In the future he should try to check the fees of the service he plans to use, there are many good exchanges with lower fees. DYOR before trusting someone with your own money, is it a service you will use or the investment you will make.

Since they banned visa and MC, also paypal, how german ppl can do gambling? Is Stripe an option? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) Ironically, people might want to revert to using PP or Credit Cards when online casinos start bumping up their withdraw fees and corresponding TX fees. Timelord2067 you are right, withdrawal fees can be high in some casinos, but in the same time there are crypto-casinos with lower withdrawing fee. What I think once people start with crypto-gambling they will not return to PP or Credit Cards, they will see how process can be easier with crypto-currencies. And here we talk about Bitcoin and Ethereum, for many other crypto-currencies fees are still very low and you can gamble with many of them on many places.

anything could happen to reach a price of $ 5, in my opinion that's excessive speculation Tron's supply is quite large so I was wondering what would drive the price of the tron soar up to $ 5 like a dream at noon in no sleep.
I am a Tron holder! I like Tron, like many others there're certain things I don't like, but we can't deny it has fast transactions, and low fees. There're tons of apps on Tron already, and many of them are good, but there're scam apps, like on all other Blockchains. Why to dream about $5, lets check a $1 first, and even that is far away from the current price. Probably big supply is holding that price, we need many more users and demand for the price to rise exponentially.

That's a natural thing because investors of course buy tokens at a lower price and sell them when the price is high and that is when they are listed on the exchange. Of course they still have a pretty good price, but who knows when the distribution bounty is over, maybe the price will go down again.
Cepot9 it's what we talk about here, buy the dips, sell the tops. When whales do that and many others are trying to follow the same strategy the price will decline after weeks of rising. Some people waited the price to get to the top and to sell huge amounts of coins. But there's nothing to worry about, the same people will buy when the price touch the bottom and the prices will start to rise again.
