Democracy is truly a very broad term which could be used in a thousand of ways to support or refute what Bitcoin is promoting. However, as for me, I would prefer to stick to the fact that democracy represents the majority. And the majority is a representation of a desire to emancipate themselves from the claws of the rich and the powerful few. Bitcoin is on their side.

My idea is always simple. When there is a huge dump happening, try to make your wallet fat. That is the time that even your moderate amount of investment will get something significant because of the cheap price. We all know that after a huge dump, there will be an even bigger pump. After the bear comes the bull. And right now, we are only waiting for the bull to arrive.

You are right. Bitcoin is best for long term investment. Although of course you could also make some good profit by tracing the short term movements and make some nice patterns out of it. However, if you believe in the technology that it brings and yet you do not have the great skills for day trading, you will be best for long term hodling. At the end of the day, there is certainty that its price will rise as adopters increase in numbers.

Well, I cannot say yes to it. I can only hope, along with the millions of solid supporters of Ethereum, that it will happen. But if it will not happen at the time you are speaking of, I am more than willing to wait for a little more while. I know for sure that it will reach that, if not in January, then perhaps in the first quarter of 2019. Or, who knows, this December 2018? 

What does not end? Hell, even the king Bitcoin will end one day. Who would have thought that the money we know now would also end? Until we started to hear and learn about cryptocurrency. We now have an idea that sooner rather than later, it will be replaced. What I'm saying is that, it will end, yes, but you do not talk of ending when you are still at the beginning. We are at a very early age. And insofar as Ethereum is concerned, it has yet to unleash what it  truly is. That will happen when the world is already opening wide enough for crypto.

I think it will have an effect. If people is made to believe that there is a pump that is going to happen, they will buy, out of sheer faith in what's coming, of the dream to make oneself wealthy, or even out of FOMO. Either way, they will be led to buy. The same is true with FUDs. People will begin dumping and selling cheaply because of it.

But the wise ones do not just follow what others are doing. They make their own analysis and assessment before finally deciding. But they are too few.

There is no secret as to why Bitcoin remains very popular despite the powerful governments and banks trying very hard to stop it. When Bitcoin started, they only have a few pages of their whitepaper published and presented. What happened later was almost impossible, with its market value reaching billions of US Dollar. What do they have? They only have what the banks do not give to their clients: freedom and real ownership.

The crypto market has always been characterized with people who are divided in their speculation and outlook. Whether the market is on the rise or falling, a united view will never be achieved. There will always be diversity in perspective. The market right now is good to those who are very eager to fatten their portfolio. But to those who bought later in 2017 and earlier this year, they are on a waiting game, and, I admit, it is a bit painful.

There will always be manipulation to a certain extent. The rich are the ones who can only do this. The simple investors, even pooling together, cannot influence a market that is in the billions of US dollars. While I think there are market influencers present not just in the crypto market but also in the stocks and in forex and in any market to be exact, they cannot dictate everything. Especially in crypto.

Not necessarily BTC alone, but cryptocurrency will definitely be the main currency of the world in the future. And Bitcoin, being the most popular and appreciated coin will be the top crypto in use. Of course, you will still have other alternative options as there will always be great altcoins around. Depending on the use, there are certain apps or market that have exclusive alts as their main currency.

Nah, I do not think the way you do. There are so many altcoins that I highly regarded as amazingly solid. You cannot just generalize and divide the entire cryptocurrency between Bitcoin and altcoins. Altcoins are composed of so many highly different coins. While many of them really sucks, you simply cannot say that to, say, Ethereum (ETH) or Cardano (ADA), etc.

I am not saying those who are thinking otherwise are not right. Neither am I underestimating the income that you may generate through cryptocurrency. However, I always maintain that leaving a permanent and good-paying job for crypto is not worth it. There are so many reasons, but most of all, you can always strike some balance between your regular job and cryptocurrency. Everything's about time management.

Bitcoin is only as promising as the people themselves. If the people will begin to lose trust and patience, Bitcoin might also go down with them. Remember that the value of Bitcoin is solely dependent on the people's interest and demand of the coin. If these two will perish, the same will happen to the value of Bitcoin.

I say, you continue to HODL. The future is very bright. One day soon, .001 BTC will become a treasure.

You don't have much options right now. The ICO market is terribly affected by the weak overall crypto market. The best option for me is to stick to ETH and wait for the market to recover. But if you are really interested to invest your 3 ETH in an ICO, IOVO might be a good choice. Learn more about the project through their website or the ANN thread to know more. Decide when you are already familiar with it.

For now, albeit observing a little shady steps involving the project, my overall sentiment is still of trust and hope. Hope that despite the very weak market for the last several months, the project, having proclaimed to have raised a significant amount, will deliver something good.

There are actually rough information given through their Telegram channels. But there are no specifics yet. Perhaps they will be releasing them as soon as everything is crystal clear. It is worse if they release commitments and cannot fulfill them, knowing that the market is still suffering until now.

This is not unusual. We have seen this pattern several times before. Although it is not the only pattern we can see in the movements of Bitcoin's price versus the altcoins' prices, it was always a possibility that when the price of Bitcoin becomes very aggressive, the altcoins will somehow suffer. That is something that may possibly be brought by the shift of many investors from altcoins to Bitcoin.

You know what, we should not trouble ourselves with stuff that is almost impossible to happen. Everything may be possible and we should be open about it but it is very obvious to us, according to the developments of today, which ones are probably going to happen and which ones are not. And looking at how Bitcoin is gaining support from governments, there is no point worrying about your concern.

Market predictions, if done by the legit experts, could be a good way to create profit. Predictions may seem useless to you perhaps because they came from pseudo-experts. The problem is that the market is right there in front of us and anybody can make predictions. But if you are not able to make something of the prices and the graphs, you will definitely need good predictions from those who really know the thing.

I always choose Bitcoin every time it is compared with other cryptocurrencies, even if it is Ethereum. Ethereum is already on top. But that is limited to its altcoin category. It has been at the top and the second to its rank is quite far from its position. However, if you include Bitcoin, it would definitely be Bitcoin that will surface as the top. Ethereum will have to settle down with the second rank.
