I recently read through the comments made by Bill Gate on bitcoin and other related cryptocurrencies (https://www.google.com.gh/amp/s/www.cnet.com/google-amp/news/microsoft-founder-bill-gates-would-bet-against-bitcoin/). From the comments he made, it is obvious that, Bill Gate is against investing into cryptocurrency. Critically appraising and analyzing how helpful bitcoin and other cryptocurrency are and base on the comments Bill Gate made, I don't see the reason why he is against cryptocurrency. Probably he might be having his own reasons of which I am not aware of. Can someone help as to why Bill Gate spoke against bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies?

Your correct, for those who still newbie wait for the time it will show a good numbers so that you will not regret it. But if you already invested you should hold it  because of the current situation right now of the market  you dont want to sell it because of the low value of it. Just wait and be patient.

Volatility is shown in the sudden drops, but also sudden rises. But now one is worried when the price is hitting the rooftop. The current drop correlates with the movement that BTC had in the past, so no big surprise there. It is scary when we don't know when will the drop stop.

Think that of course affect,this already is happening,with these changes positive.I hope for further progress.I believe that bitcoin is the optimal currency for large purchases,but in the future it will be possible to carry out small transactions with its use.This is a great start for a new big way.I liked the move of British investors.If I had the chance,I would have done the same.

Bitcoin prices are down sharply, but there are still a lot of people interested in bitcoin. Evidence that the number of  people discussing bitcoin on Reddit has increased dramatically. TheMos moderator is also mentioned in this article. Has anyone explained to me about Themos's information, he's simply the bitcoin community manager on the big forums: Bitcoin talk, Reddit..  Or did he participate in Bitcoin's network development department, like Vitalik Buterin of Ethereum?

Guys be hopeful that bitcoin will go up again based on the data yes I believe that too, but don't take it for granted that it will happen "soon" or right away in 2019 or that we have already hit the bottom. Seriously bitcoin can go as low as $800 USD based on the same data so be hopeful but be ready for this drop to happen and to have a possible low price for most of 2019.

Yet do not let this push you down, as it will come up again in due course.

If we trust the new generation of saving money by investing it in the crypto word, its can help many people in the world to manage their money on what they want, because we can send and receive money even in times of holidays, if we need it.

Satoshi's account recently made a post, the first in a long time, what can we expect in your opinion?

Few months back i purchased arround 15 to 16 btc when bitcoin price was 10000$ to 11000$ each btc but now arround 4000$ each btc .Just waiting for 11000$ for each btc than i should leave btc and i can see bitcoin have no future in this time.

These days all you hear in this modern world is Network Marketing and how some people claim it has really helped them. Well i don't disagree with them totally but i just want to educate some forum members about the fact that investing into bitcoin is a better form of enterpreneurship than engaging in Network Marketing.

Starting up in Networking Marketing is not an easy task at all so never be deceived by their sugar coating words about how good their lives are because some people fake it before they are able to make it Networking Marketing but may you might not be too lucky you can fake to the end. In Network Marketing you will need to stay in touch with your downlines making and ensuring that they keep up with certain tasks as this is the only way you can also move up some strict ranks to earn money. This is not the only pain people but trust me if you should skip any of these regular activities you come back to point Zero.
Yes, that is how painful it is in Network Marketing.
But it is so nice and quite fun that in bitcoin investment you do just two things:
1. Invest with what you can
2. Sit and watch your money grow

Now don't get me wrong house, I ain't a lazy dude but i don't see the reason why I should grind vegetables in an earthenware bowl when i can use a blender and still get it done nice and sweet.
What do you think fam, Is it going to be investment or network marketing?

I have watched major news channel calling it out on anonymity and major price fluctuations after Ohio became first state to accept taxes in bitcoin. Finally, people are realizing cryptos, specifically bitcoin's worth. What do you think, are we ending 2018 on a good note?

I think Satoshi Nakamoto is a group of people. I think that creating Bitcoin alone is too difficult. Of course everything is possible, but ... One of the creators of Bitcoin is certainly a genius. It’s simply impossible for an ordinary person to create such an idea and bring it to life.
In any case, I'm not interested in the real identity of the creator of Bitcoin. If he (or they) wants to remain anonymous, then I respect his right to that. I think Satoshi has achieved what he wanted, so more and doesn't get in touch with the world as the creator of Bitcoin.

We see it every time Bitcoin goes to a new lower level.

Bitcoin "believers" will hurry to say "buy the dip" and "just wait it will come back"

Reality is that every dip is a new lower level - and after that comes another dip...and another.

In the beginning of 2017 very few people had Bitcoin - and therefore the price could quickly move up as a large number of people with zero financial understanding started buying Bitcoin.

Now a large number of people with zero understanding has Bitcoin and price moves down - there are no more new fools to get into Bitcoin to ever pump it again.

"Buy the dip" is something only fools believe - and as can be seen in here there are unfortunately many fools in here who do not understand that their money is already lost

In the last fifty years we have seen the following changes in our financial systems:
 The removal of the Gold Standard - Gold Standard was monetary system that directly links a currency’s value to that of gold. In 1971 the U.S. completely severed the link between gold and the dollar. The U.S. now has a fiat money system, meaning the dollar’s value is not linked to any specific asset. Fractional Lending – this is a banking system in which only a fraction of bank deposits are backed by actual cash on hand and are available for withdrawal. Eg: if you deposit $1000 into your bank account the bank will hold $100 and loan out $900 which goes out into circulation and back into a different bank, this time $90 is held by the new bank and $810 is lent out and the cycle continues, making money out of thin air.
 
This is why cryptocurrency is so popular, your money is truly your money. Millennials! They don’t think like us - Millennials are the most tech savvy generation and are already thinking about a cashless future according to Forbes magazine –they are putting their money where their thumbs are. The millennials are a part of a different 1%, who’ve not only heard of bitcoin, but are buying, selling, and trading it on their smart phones and laptops. What’s more, some millennials are using bitcoin as the basis for their long-term savings. They refuse to be stuck in our world.

I've been in so many Cryptocurrency groups with so many regrets flying around about Bitcoin. Although I've not been for one minute discouraged about the present price of Bitcoin, because I know for ever high there's always a corresponding low. Even stocks and tech shares are falling. Came across this article and it renewed my faith in Blockchain and Bitcoin as a whole. I hope it also helps an investor feeling lost out here.

An excerpt from the article.

Yes I truly believe in cryptocurrency. We all know that the basic aim of everyone for participating in any investment market is to earn profits and there is nothing wrong in that. But a person should have some realistic goals. You can invest in something blindly and then expect your money to be doubled in a week. You should research and study properly and take every decision wisely.

Though I do agree the suddenly halving the supply increases the price, we shouldn't be looking at the price here. We should be looking at the supply itself.  Also again, I really honestly don't think you can make the price stable just by decreasing the supply alone. It's still mostly due to supply and demand, like what Pursuer said on his reply.

Anyway, while I disagree with your proposal, thanks for creating a topic that's actually debatable and not bullcrap.

Cryptographic forms of money experience a progression of market changes, "with a large portion of the ongoing variances winding up in a sorry situation". In such occasions, individuals do get frightened and befuddled. That is on the grounds that they consider it to be a misfortune. However, for me, I don't see it that way. Rather, I consider it to be an extraordinary open door for MASSIVE speculations with HUGE benefits. How? It's simple! At the point when the estimation of the Cryptocurrency dumps, it makes purchasing considerably more reasonable. With this, I 'Purchase In Bulk', watch the market changes, and clearly, when advertise values hit their pinnacle, I Sell! Making an 'Immense' heap of benefit. what's your take? just my opinion.

I still have high hopes for BTC, and I'm sure BTC will create Bullish.

this is good news for me, after the battle is over, BTC will create a Bullish market, one of the factors that can make BTC create Bullish is institutional investors.
but they are very careful when accumulating new assets, their choices are not long-term trends.

but, quantitatively, it proves that institutional demand for crypto is very large and institutional investors accumulate BTC.
