If you are so scared with the fall, then what would you have done in 2013 during the MtGox issue and funny enough, it is the same bullshit crappy MtGox that is causing part of what is happening in the market presently with the huge sell off. All these things happening once in a while are normal, but using that to judge how the market will fair because of some downward trend is more like expecting too much. Moreover, it is not like the market will stop fluctuating, but does that make it ridden forever? No!

Every market can even experience a bloodbath and even stock played that out recently. The thing though that makes cryptocurrency stand out is the idea of a decentralized market and for the fact that we are getting established and things are changing rapidly and positively even with all the FUDs going around like he has said, still make things look very good. I am looking forward not to just price spike but a well-established market.

It is normal to have some bubble now, which there is nothing anyone can do about that. It is a new market; a lot of people want to get greedy, the whales are making use of that to create a huge increase in price for nothing and dumping when the fomo increases a lot, only for some to get to see a retracement with a huge dump and then the cycle repeating itself again. Until the crypto space starts a real usefulness, and not just speculative assets, we will keep seeing stuffs like this.

High time ! Soros started understanding that there is nothing they can do about the existence of cryptocurrency. This is the future and those who can see the clear picture are already accepting that while some are busy denying it.

One thing for sure is that, we cannot force anyone not to believe what they do not want to believe but over time, they will get to understand what they have missed while some took the risk a while back and already enjoying what they are just about starting to enjoy.

Hmm. I guess most of the people who have always been into mortgage and some form of debt will have some freedom at last.
It is a good thing to be able to do this since at least one can start catering for one's future.

The way the government has been able to put us all in bondage is to always keep living a life of loan, which a lot of people thought was good but in the real sense, it is just the crazy world we live in with some people taking the money while some people are busy living the life from spoon to mouth.

Yeah, so I heard. It is good that they were not able to successfully achieve their aim and at the end of the day, it backfired for them. Binance really showed some fast moves here, otherwise that would have caused some damage as some people were already panicking when the news started flying round with binance being hacked. It was only some accounts that got vulnerable after a phishing attempt that was affected.

Vulnerability of binance system only happened to the victim who must have mistakenly ended up on a phishing website in which the accounts were able to gather up some accounts and then convert it into Via to move out before binance was able to spot the irregularities and then halted all withdrawals immediately and even in the attempt withheld all the hackers assets from being withdrawn. I am sure those affected will only have to make the exchange back and also delete any created API if that has not been done already as well as change their account details.

I feel so far, with respect to a reputable exchange, only binance is the exchange where that can happen. There are some other exchanges but for now, I would not even want to try trading on some of them, and I would rather wait to see how the new ones perform over time before trying to trade on them. 2btc daily withdrawal on binance is not bad anyway at least for now, before they end up changing their policies like bittrex.

Bittrex started that way until they started requiring everyone to do KYC before they can even withdraw anything at all. I will employ all the people here to still find a way to do the verification process, but I still insist, binance so far is the best bet for a reputable exchange.

That would be like a crazy move to jump into a market thinking every sharp drop will just bounce back quickly. Not for a market that is not strong and is dropping pretty fast. I have been on some coins before that ended up being dumped badly and it just kept dumping without any quick retrace back up, and in that case, it is always good to make sure one does not fall into such trade as that may incur huge losses.

Yeah, and that saying has really helped a lot of people to follow the Warren Buffet saying with, buy when everyone is panicking and selling as long as you are smart about it though, and sell when everyone is buying and there is an indication of a drop as shown by the indicators. One best way never to trade the market is to do what everyone and most especially newbies are busy doing.

Yes, bitcoin has always done fine and will always keep doing fine in the long run and that is all that matters. Anyone who believes in the power of what they are holding and the future of it will really consider all this moment as a gift to hold more or make more in the future. When it is time for the bull run to start, it will, but let us take our time enjoying the accumulation moment for now before then, so we can at least benefit hugely from it.

No one knows what happens this year and being positive or negative will not change anything. What is important is that bitcoin is the future, it is strong as ever, and I am so damn sure we still have a lot of room to grow before the end of the year. I would personally not want a quick one anyway, I really want to load up as much as I can before heading up,

Your last statement actually sums it up. If anyone thinks blockchain technology and bitcoin is worthless, it does not take them anything to opt out. This is a community and opinions can be shared, but some are better off not being shared as they do not serve a purpose other than spreading bias or misleading information.

I can agree that the blockchain technology is over hyped and we all saw that with what happened with bitcoin late last year as people are tending towards being greedy but how does that make bitcoin worthless. If the author is even informed about swift, then he would not even write that bullshit.

I am sure they always have their targets as well and the thing is that even with the little that happened and the value of bitcoin breaking below the MA-200 that has been holding it for a while, that started making investors skeptical about the strength in bitcoin's value. Nevertheless, only time will give an answer to that and I am sure a lot of panic would have ensued if we ended up seeing such a scenario playing out where bitcoin ended up hitting the ground nonstop.

There is always going to be scam and what you said is even contradictory. If there is no scam, then why would you need to do research before investing ?

A lot of investors have been victim of scammers who gave them promises and immediately after the ICO carted away with a lot of the investor's funds. As long as you do a thorough research and taking the originality of the team into consideration first as well as all the achievements they have had in the past, it would make it easy not to fall victim for such scams.

Yeah, and it is even normal to see movements like this in the beginning of every year. Sometimes last year, we had some situations like this and at the end of the day the market came back strong and we started testing new ATHs on bitcoin and other coins as well. The day is still very young and we have a lot ahead of us. I believe we will still see the market back strong and we should always remember that corrections cannot take place forever as well as spikes.

Obviously crypto markets will continue to spike higher. The good thing about the cryptocurrency market is that it is still new and if we are to consider the present adoption rate, it is even still low and we have not seen anything yet. I so much believe that generally, the market will always have some high level of spikes but it takes patience. There is a time for everything in the market, a time for increase, decrease, consolidation and so on.

Well, if that is scary for anyone they can decide not to make use of the exchanges in any of their transactions and go the P2P way. It is not like everyone is going to be coerced into paying tax, but as long as you are passing through the proper channel when it comes to exchanges, then you are obliged to pay your tax. As long as fiat is still needed one way or the other, it is not really something we should bother ourselves about as taxing is inevitable.

Learning past ICO and how they fared does not change any fact about the current one. An already ICO that is already done and fully in the market will not tell you if the one you are looking at presently is going to be successful or a scam unless you take a look at all the things you really need to look at.

Once you can check out the team and their past performance in the real world, as well as verifying they are not some fake IDs, then you can check how useful the product they have is going to be, the purpose it is going to serve and how the team plans to roll out.

Don't be fooled bro, $1 is high and if you are considering investing in cryptocurrency, ripple is not one. I am sure you can use Google to ask why it is not and the fact that it is manipulated alone should make you run for your dear life rather than hold for your dear life. If you are smart, this is one of the projects you want to stay away from, but if you feel you are fine, you are free to buy in at $1.

Ethereum is good, Litecoin is a testnet as far as I am concerned but that does not mean there is no future for it, but it would always remain in the shadow of bitcoin but XRP, the CEO is greedy, they have some shady things they are playing and it is a centralized currency and not a cryptocurrency as far as I am concerned. I would rather hold fiat than hold ripple.

You should not even need anyone to tell him what to do at this spot. That is a lot of money already, but for real, only those who invest in the private sale usually get the best of the project as long as it is a good one. That turnover though from $5000 ? Wow ! For me, I would withdraw, take out some into some offline businesses to diversify, and then invest in other upcoming ICOs for the long run. This is already a starting point of something huge for him and his friend, if they can be wise about it.

Yeah, as long as you have both, you can definitely use them. I see it like this, you have few money you can throw around, then you can go ahead investing, and if you have the time, then you can do the bounty, however, for someone who is a business man who is always on the move or have a lot to invest, it would be insane to imagine such a person to even know what bounty is. It all has to do with priority, so if you check what you have in your bank not to be enough to invest in ICO, then bounty is your best bet.

People like OP let the whales take advantage of them and that is because they really do not understand what is going on with the market at any point in time and would rather stick to their emotions. Either they are joining when everyone have started buying, or they are selling when everyone is selling and waiting if it drops lower until they get to the bottom. I do not see anything bad in someone who has gone long buying at this spot and if this price is not low enough for him since we took off back around $6000, then he should keep waiting for it. He can ask those who waited for such last year.

I really do not always know what people want ? I guess what some prefer is to always see the market having bull runs every time and that is why we always end up having greedy traders and investors all the time in the market. The market has been supported a lot recently and the market is moving at its own pace which to me is even a healthy pace as far as I am concerned. I am really hoping for a bull move in the long run though.

The fact that it has been trading above $10000 for a while now is at least good and that shows some strength. The market has been pretty slow lately but I am still not sure where we are really headed to next. The market has traded already above $11200 from the time you posted this, so this means we are still a bit good, but no one can say if there could be some pullback or not. Let's just hope the greens are really here to stay.

Do not say everyone because I do not. There is a stage that bitcoin has gotten to that there are somethings you just would not expect. Expect there would always be some up and down movement, but a crash is something I would not even bother myself about when a lot of big investors have seen potentials, and the worst thing they will ever want to see happening is allowing that to even happen and not see it get to that potential.

No one can predict the future really, but since I only have what I can afford to lose even though it may look big now, but the longer term possibility gives me hope.

I am not sure about most of the other online gambling, but for freebitco.in, it has been pretty low, and in fact, annoyingly low … I remember paying as low as 600sats recently for a high transaction. This is a site that even without gambling, I just prefer putting some little bit of funds I may want to transact in there. It saves me a lot in fees even when there is congestion.

In fact, it is a whole lot of question to ask him if he has really been in the system for a while to not have known how ridiculously cheap the fees have been and most especially with segwit transactions such as this one. However, that is a huge amount of money with a very low fee and people are still here complaining about how high the fees are, then I wonder if they have really been making transactions at all.
