Bitcoin price will NEVER be stable, get used to it. When price is going from $6.2k to $6.4k or vice versa you can consider it "stable" because that is the most stable bitcoin will get. However in reality we are also expecting like a 10% jump in price or a fall in price because we know there is nothing keeping bitcoin to be $8k tomorrow or $5k. Both can happen anytime. Knowing this usually causes people to be cautious about bitcoin and makes it more volatile because market is filled with people who think this way. Just these last 2 months we have seen bitcoin price drop to $5.8k than went to $8k and now at $6.2k, in just 2 months. That is definitely not stable.

I still believe in Ethereum just like I do in Bitcoin. Ethereum has been one of the strongest in the market and most people has always believed that it will be able to compete with Bitcoin one day. I know you’re asking this question because of the downtrend, but that’s not something to be worried about, and I can even tell you that this is a time for you to be more excited and there is big chance for you to stack up a lot of it and wait for when price will rise cause that is definitely going to happen soon.

The recent changes with the trends of ethererum will not change the hopes we are having with it. As bitcoin market is coming down hence ethererum also suffering. Like many people here, I am also expecting bitcoin-etf to restore the markets toward $1500 per one ethererum. I guess that may be possible by the first quarter of 2019.

The first rule of thumb in this bitcoin casino world is history. If the website has a history of good reputation and a ton of pages on its bitcointalk topic than you can know for sure that that website will be alright. If you think even for a second whichever website you are checking seems scammy, don't gamble there.

Check everyone's topics and you can see which one is old, established and trustworthy. For example we all know primedice, we all know how trustworthy and great it is, that means its really insane to think they would scam you, why would they do that considering they are already making ton of money.

I think kawhi and lebron is an AMAZING pair however we are talking about warriors and rockets at west as the current best teams and just check their rosters. Rockets are the weaker of the two with harden and paul being the best players and lets assume kawhi can stop harden, lonzo will certainly not able to stop paul and they have good center at capela which lakers don't have and have melo helping out and eric gordon shooting lights out. Just lebron and kawhi will not be able to fight against all that team if the team around them is horrible.

If we look at warriors, we know steph is the best shooter of all times, we know klay is a close second, we know KD can score at will whenever he wants to, we know draymond is an amazing defender and well look at that they got cousins (he probably leave after this year) which means warriors are insane as always.

Now this is lebron and kawhi, they can really pull a rabbit out of a hat, however they also need decent team around them to have a shot at the title because lets face it this is a team sport, lebron carries all his teams to finals but he also loses in the finals.

I saw a similar topic like this one on Quora. I believe it’s possible for anyone to mine bitcoin with smart phones, but your main concern should be on how much you will be spending on electricity. I have heard from several miners that bitcoin mining can only profit those with a cheap source of electricity and they also claim that miners barely profit from it.

Hence, if these people that are mining with main bitcoin miner barely make profit, then anyone that is mining with a smartphone won’t make any profit, but rather would end up with loss on how much they spend on electricity. Now a days, staking and masternodes are relatively profitable which may enable people to look for alternate way of generating passive income other than mining as it costs much while setting up and while running.

I think we are looking at a bull future. It is quite obvious that prices always go down a bit before going up. It never goes straight up and up, it draws back a little and shoots high. For that to happen we need to get the losses and drops in order to get the highs. Like Warren Buffet says, be courages when others are afraid and be afraid when others are courages. You need to just be patient and wait for the bull which is around the corner. If you sell or lose your patience in bad markets, you will never stay alive until the bull market days.

How a crash will be possible if bitcoin etf will get approved ? I believe, if etf will be approved then bitcoin will have values around $25k in one week of trading and there will not be any possibility for crashes till $60k levels. Yes, the funds from the institutions and hedging houses may enable bitcoin to touch the moon.

Some people here are mistaking ETC for ETH which is Ethereum. ETC stands for Ethereum Classic which came as a result of the fork in Ethereum. As for the decision making, I think both cryptocurrency are very good so you’re going to be making the decision based on your own personal reasons. But the price analysis I checked last for ETH, ETC and NEO shows that this is probably one of the most exciting times despite the slow market.

If your budget allows you then you may go for some other coins which are having only less than 25% of their all time high price levels. If you buy and hold them then you may get up to 3x profit in very quicker time. Do your own research by referring coinmarketcap and find out such coins. But, please do not ask again to this community as people suggest some random coins rather than suggesting the actual.

Sometimes I do think that if there are no manipulators in this, that the price of Bitcoin would have been more stable than it is now and wouldn’t be fluctuating all that much. It’s all because of all these greedy whales that we have as members, they are the ones who are fond of pumping the market and dumping at anytime. That’s why it will reach a very high rate and then drop immediately. Some people who are not yet into Bitcoin are now seeing it as a scam. Well, very soon the price will still go up though.

Everyone has their own reasons why they are afraid. Some are just newbie and are afraid because they are thinking the price might not go up anymore and this is an opportunity for them to withdraw and quit. Others are being bothered with the thought of how long it may take before the price goes back up again. I have learned to control my fear and invest money I’m ready to lose.

We can’t really tell when the market will stop the falling. I have seen lots of this predictions since this year begun but none of them were correct. And another thing that is a big problem with some of us here is lack patience. We already know that cryptocurrencies are volatile, then why are we still complaining about the price that is down now ? That’s why they do say that no matter what you do you can never please everyone. But I still think that price will rise up before this year ends.

In the past, even there were 100x time more thing which were working against crypto world, the investors kept their faith which led the market to be stable as well into green but now a days traders and investors are losing their hope which is the main reason why we are having continuous red market.

Yes, we can literally just check "economics speculation" part of bitcointalk to see if its a bull market or a bear market without even knowing the prices. I can just get here any day of the week and just read the topic names and assume if we are in a bull market or bear market.

When bitcoin was going to $5.8k levels a month ago there was topics like "bitcoin will be $2k by the end of world cup" which it wasn't, it went to $8k. When it was $8k there was topics like "will bitcoin be $50k by the end of the year", well it still could be I can't say anything to that but we saw the price go down to 6k after that topic. Now we see 6k and the topic is "game over for bitcoin?". By the track record of this section in bitcointalk, I am assuming we are going to $10k .

This can't be done in bitcoin since its against everything that is right about bitcoin however this has been done in other altcoins. There was an ICO which I really eyed hard however decided not to go with it. They were suggesting basically funding their business with the coins they were given to them. They would get a factory, get machines, get resources and produce some products that was worth really well. That way their business would make a lot of money and the coins would be considered shares so however much you owned of that coin that much of the company you would own.

The way it worked was get horrible at first (the capital costs) and slowly increase over time (profits). The price was basically speculation just like other coins but it was also backed by the profits of the company, so if you owned 1% of the companies coins (stocks) than you get 1% of the profit shared with people, paying more for it or less for it is still speculation.

Well, because when bitcoin price drops that is usually people leaving the crypto market in general. Of course there are people who hold altcoins and have zero bitcoins but the main general consensus is people have bitcoin but diversify their portfolio by having other coins. Which means when people are selling bitcoin they already sold their altcoins.

When bitcoin starts to gain some price increase that means money is getting back into bitcoin, however not to altcoins right away. Which causes bitcoin price to go up but altcoins to stay valued however lose value against bitcoin which makes bitcoin get a higher market dominance. We need bitcoin to get more volume and people to have a lot more bitcoin and price to go up and stay up before we see people regaining trust on altcoins and start reinvesting into those.

Well I would say that the arrival of July was a good sign in the crypto world and the values of Bitcoin started rising high. About a rise of more than $2000 was witnesses in the first twenty days and the August were expected to double the values further. But we have another fall now which is viewed as a momentary fall by many of the experts and the future is viewed as the era of Bitcoin because of the rapid expansion in the present in countries across Europe and America.

December is too far away but we may expect something refreshing to happen by the last week of this August itself. Yes, lots of expectation is on trade-able bitcoin derivatives. If that will be happening then we may see bitcoin prices bouncing back to new all time higher prices.

Well you cannot predict the fall so precisely, nor can you predict the price. This is just the market invisible hand that operates and affect and set the prices as well as the appreciation and depreciation. So, I do not think that Bitcoin will fall below $6000 because of the reluctance of bitcoin to loose further value. It dropped below $6000 in June and was recovered in few hours again and never dropped again. Irrespective of what the price is now, the Bitcoin is in a stable zone and will recover easily.

Right now prices are trading just above $6000 levels which must be a good sign and in last two days bitcoin prices are trading at same price ranges which may lead to bounce back at any time soon. I am expecting prices to reverse from current levels toward $10k now onward.

It is actually a very good thing to even see that the government at least pay attention to what the people want and rather than trying to find the means to frustrate the usage of bitcoin or cryptocurrency, at least they are trying to see how they can manage it. It is a good thing for the citizen as well as the country itself, and over time, I believe this will so much help a lot with development and growth of the nation as a whole as there is so much to benefit from the space.

I believe warning the citizens to be cautious of cryptos is good because the same way it can help is the same way people can get the wrong picture and end up losing a lot as well. However, this is the way things are with most governments as they tend to look more at the bad side than the good sides. However, it is a good thing that the adoption rate in Philippine is growing very strong, and with the step the government is taking to accept and regulate the space is really going to be a very wonderful move.

Those who are not rich will decide to quit and leave it for the rich dudes to compete among themselves lol. You’re not even yet sure whether you will gain anything for the month or not, and you’re talking about paying tax. If they should start enforcing tax on bitcoin don’t you know that they will charge you tax whether you gain anything or not, so lots of people are going to quit even at their first time of investing in bitcoin, cause it would make no sense.

Lol, that’s very funny. Who talked about being legalized here ? It doesn’t even need to be legalized for anyone to make use of it. The only thing legalization can help to do is create a connection between banks and the blockchain so that users of cryptocurrencies will be able to make straight payments and withdrawals from exchanges to banks and from banks to exchanges and you can’t do that without exposing your full identity, cause another thing people loves about bitcoin is anonymity.

Honestly I was also expecting prices to touch $9000 and then $10,000 at those times but it had fallen to $6100 range again. As of now, I am expecting prices to stay above $6000 even the bulls may remain sleeping but I do not want bears to take no more control. A range bound between $8000 to $6000 also good for me for some more time but breaking the support of $6000 is highly not preferred unlike the previous fall from $9800 to $5700 levels.

Narrowing down the oscillation of market's range bound will always end up in breaking the upper side. If bitcoin holds above $6000 levels then another rally will definitely break the $10,000 prices. The coming weeks of bitcoin market will be highly crucial for the investors and close market observers.

I will not fasten my belts until finding enough confirmations. Yes, I need more confirmation by breaking the big resistances of $10,000 before assuming the possibilities of new ATH.

Yes, traders got panic and took wrong decisions. There is nothing wrong with a price dropping or a price increasing hugely as this happens easily in every market which I want to believe anyone who is conversant with the way markets has always been would know better than to be worried about such movements as this knowing that every movement creates an opportunity either for buying during the dips or selling when everyone is getting greedy.

The price drop was normal though considering the nature of the market throughout last year which was expected to give birth to a huge correction and this is the correction we are having now. Even the increase in demand these days is fueled by manipulations and speculations, which makes it extremely hard to even get to understand how things have been tending for a while now and to know whether to be trusting in TAs or not.

Well, a good investor will buy at any price and since we had the type of people who were optimistic about the future of altcoin and believed in their investment and the technology of altcoin plus their projects, they invested even when altcoin were on the highest price ever. They still hodl altcoin and are optimistic about the future.

Such people invest the money they do not need in the near future and cash it only when the gain in the worth of their portfolio is a hecta times high than the start. So yes, the market will be green soon and the end of the year is the time people will be becoming hopeful about.

In the past only in the year 2014, crypto markets faced continuous dumps and by January of 2015, bitcoin prices suffered to the mark of $180 price levels from the then all-time-high prices of $1200 levels. But, from January 2015 to December 2016 prices remained with mixed of red and green still reached to previous ATH. We can expect similar growth in coming weeks to achieve current ATH of $19800 levels, probably within this year too.

I do not even know where the whole idea of the bounty participants being the ones dumping on the market started from. Probably some big investors trying to use that as a tactics to remove the eye of the community from them. Whales are always responsible and it is not like the whole bounty participants amount put together will really make much impact anyway since some give as low as 1% of total contributed during ICO and 1% is nothing as far as I am concerned.

Devs already know gradually the bounty participants were never the fault since so far, some participants never get to receive their token until it has been listed for a long time and still, the price of the token gets to drop. Those who dump on the market are the ones holding the larger share of the market, and since they were fortunate to get a whole lot during the bonus period and pre phase, they had a lot on them to dump at once.
