I do hope that you enter when the price is at $96xx because that really a bargain. Wasn't able to get it time though to see that price however, I get a few while the price is just above $10K and I will hold on it for at least 8 months and see where will my investment takes me.


That's nice to see that you also was able to get bitcoin at a discount. I should have sold my car and my jewelries to be able to get back and buy more at that price.  . But I think I have stored enough, its now waiting game. Looks like the market is all green including altcoins. So this maybe a start of something big in the next days or so.

Its almost touching $11K now. Guys, looks like we are in for a rally. Just hold on for dear life. If this holds and breaks $11K, then this will be a good sign for all of us. And if you have extra funds, put in on the market because it still a good time to enter before the train started to gain steam once more.

Don't exchange it to fiat as you will likely incurred a lose. Don't be another noob investors, who just sells when the price is dipping. Act like what we all been doing for years. Hold during dip, and buy more bitcoins. And just like what others have said here, it will likely rebound and you will see a lot of profit in the future.

Indeed. We don't have a choose do we? Hodling on for Dear life is the best way to describe what we are going in right now. But since most of us are here are literally bag holders, this is the best option left for us.


I don't know though if you guys are going to follow this strategy. But I'm not converting it to Fiat and re-investing it to something like precious stones (GOLD) or stock market. Would rather stay in crypto and wait for the long haul.


I think this can be done successful. However, it has high risk for me. Plus the fact that I'm no expert trader, I would shy from this strategy. Again, those who are doing this knows very well how the market works and take advantage of the will price that we are seeing, buy at <$10K and sell it around $10100-$10300 quickly.

Yes, and it also encourages a lot of newbies to create multiple accounts and join airdrops.


But I would rather join Bounties or Signature campaigns because its risk free, as compare to mining or trading, high risk and sometimes low reward. Signature campaigns is the viable option to earn with altcoins, because all you have to do is join, follow the requirements and wait till the end of the ICO to get your rewards. Will only take a few minutes or hours of your day. But you will need to have patience as well because most of them lasted for more than 4 weeks and additional weeks to get your rewards.

Correct, my portfolio is also down, funny this is, before the slump, I have thought of moving some funds and cash it out. Unfortunately, the crash happens, damping my chance of doing it, so I have no choice but to Hodl tight right now.

I believed that most of us here are really for the long haul, specially in bitcoin. This is just another test and I'm sure that it will be pass with flying colors again. We have so much optimism that we can recover from all of this. And for long time holders, this is not new to them. I'm sure that they are not shaken, only those who are really weak and afraid of the situation will really do the opposite and sell while the price is going down.

Bankers has already continuing to waged war against bitcoin and crypto, but I don't know if they had a hand on the current market crash. This correction is deemed to happened, no need to over think what's the cause of all of this. Just don't get worried to much mate, its not good for your health.  

We have seen this kind of event before, bitcoin crashed, bitcoin rebounded, bitcoin getting all time high. Rinse and Repeat.

The crash has something to do with the Asian market market. Some say its because of the Chinese New Year, China and South Korea banning everything crypto related. But as I have said, bitcoin's been there, done that already. Just have faith it in you will, and soon the price will many times, as we have witness in the past.

Of course altcoins is also a good way to make more money, right?

Its a thriving business and others says that we need to diversify, so its really good if you have a portfolio that includes altcoins are well. Recently (before the crash), altcoin is really enjoying a healthy ecosystem. Most of them achieved all time high from the second half of December last year up to 2 days ago. And I'm sure that a lot of investors enjoyed so much profit that they stay away from bitcoin for the time being.

But even though the market is crashing, I will still support them once everything is clear. Right now, I'm not making any move because I still observing everything from behind. But since everything is in red, its fun to go and try to buy some cheap altcoins and then just trade them when this slumped is over.

LOL. I laugh with the Kimchi thingy. South Korean market is really at a premium price. Remember when bitcoin is at a premium and trading way above their Western counterpart? I'm sure that NEO will be pump hard as well. That's why I'm surprised to see it increasing at 25% or more. Its will be called the Korean Ethereum now. 

I hope I didn't miss the boat, I have predicted in December that the next coins that is going to be pumped are NEO and damn I'm correct. Still holding and see how it goes. You gonna love our South Korean brothers on the other side. 

Just like any other coin that is listed initially in a exchange, you will see a massive dump because those who are holding it are going to sell it like pancakes.


Oh OK. If the token is going to burn then there will be a limited supply. And when the demand goes high in the next 6 months I'm sure that the price will go up. But we will never know.


Honestly, I also don't see any potential on the coins. Just pure pump-and-dump. I suggest you go out and exit will there is still time. Sorry to burst the bubble to you guys.

Still early to tell dude. Its just above $14K last time I checked coinmarketcap. Looks like just a small pump. However, it could be another consolidation leading up to another bull run. Let's see how it goes if it crosses $15K in the next few days, I think we are in for another rally, however, if it continues to move around the $13K-$14K then this looks like a small pump. Investors just constantly moving their funds around from bitcoin to altcoin ecosystem.


LOL. Let's just be realistic here. I say let's target $20K. This has been a big barrier to break, if we ever surpass it up to the end of the month, then it will open up a lot of possibilities in the future.

Its for you own safety and I doubt that the exchanges will share its database to another party. Well there's are exchanges that don't require you to submit your ID, like Binance for example.

I don't think that they will share you ID from third party because it won't bring any benefits on their end.


I don't think that I can get to withdraw even 1 bitcoin so Binance is a safe play for me to trade, although lately they seems to be laggy. As for the decentralized exchange, yes it has advantage and disadvantage specially the lack of customer support.

With the massive number of people joining the crypto sphere, hackers and online criminals are really targeting us. MEW already put up a lot of advisory on their website on how not to get hack. However, they are still users complaining that they MEW wallet has been compromised. If they just followed every steps, I don't think that a hack can be possible.

The first thing to check before entering your private key is the website itself. Better bookmark it, so that it can prevent you from typing it directly, which 5 out of 10 you will get it wrong. And don't just click anything you see interesting in the Internet. Chances are, you are going to be phished. Its really up to us on how not to be hacked, its our own responsibility.

Its still up, and I don't think they have made the decision to turn it back to crypto. So there's a lot of FUD surrounding their decision. Last time I heard, there was a petition among locals to the South Korean government not to ban bitcoin. Although we can't deny that something is going on with the South Korean trading exchanges. They are almost at a premium price. That's why government is likely looking at that issue and the decision hinges on what they are going to find out.

We have this seen this before. When China suddenly suspends its trading platform around March and investigate if there's serious manipulation behind. I just hope that South Korea government though doesn't follow the footsteps of its neighbor and suddenly shutdown everything related to cryptocurrency. We are going to be affected by it for sure.

That's why bitcoin is really turning to be just another investment platform. At the beginning no one would thought that the price could go as high as $20K? And when the big whales and big boys join the market, suddenly the rules has changed. It now becomes a store of wealth.

But for us casual investors who have small amounts stash in our wallet, I believed that its better to hold for long term and not sell our coins. Because we are small and we want to really earn a huge financial profit. We can only see this happening if we will just hold and save some, but at the same time have a extra coin that we are going for trading purposes only and do not touch the coins that are for the long haul.

He is involving himself to another project that's why he sold all his Litecoin and he even confirmed that its not a big chunk of Litecoin. He is moving to another project that will conflict with Litecoin, another reason for his departure. Although its really hard not to speculate that the price of Litecoin will go down when he exited, which is what we are seeing right now.

I also bought Litecoin around $40, I just had a hunched that its going to be pump but I have also exited at the top price and didn't bother to invest on it again because of the Lee departure.

But yeah, its really very fast based on my experience, it bitcoin could be like that, the price of it could be beyond $20K but today. Anyways, let's see how it goes for Litecoin. it has huge potential, its just a matter of time again before it will be pump and push the price to new all time highs.

There are a lot of supporters of BCH not only South Korea. Its just the trading platform their is conducive to pump and pump coins like we have seen lately in Ripple. That's why coinmarketcap delisted South Korean trading platform to it's global average price. South Korean exchanges listed almost all coins at a premium price.


Of course it will not resolved everything in an instant. I'm sure that if its deployed, so much questions needs to be answered. But it will at least a good direction to begin with. A lot of stakes is already in the line if we can't find a solution to the every growing issues of high fees and slow confirmation.

No, we, casual traders are relevant as big whales, small or big traders have a way to contribute to the booming of cryptocurrency. So think that we are immaterial as far as trading volumes is concern.


This is also what I'm thinking. Litecoin had it's day. But Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple are now the dominant trading coins. Maybe they are just freeing up their engine to accommodate those big 3 right now. Although Litecoin is still at high price, its values keeps going down. Just my assumption. Maybe we can here what's the reason behind in the coming days.

No one for sure when to know what the top price not just of Ethereum but just like other coins. The best thing to do is to look and read news about Ethereum. Bitcoin is going down, and for sure those who are dumping it and moving to Ethereum. That's a good sign for me. However, when you see that there's a lot of FUD surrounding Ethereum, better be prepared to sell it because FUD scares people away.

I still have some Ethereum as well and I was quite surprise that I have like gain 1/3 of my initial invesments. And there another wallet that I have that have dust amounts, like .08 ETH that has gain value overtime as well.

But I would advise to just really hold on it long term. Ethereum is shaping to be the best coins for me so far, not unless bitcoin solves its scalability issues, Ethereum will always a good coin to invest long term.

If this is true then Microsoft is really pushing bitcoin to gain mainstream. Them stops accepting bitcoin just a few days ago took the market to another dip, although its says that is only temporary. Maybe this is want they are doing behind, working with provider, which I have to agree that it will be Bitpay.

Steam as I have said that volatility and the high cost of transaction was the main reason behind shutting down it acceptance of bitcoin. But if they would do the same route as Microsoft (trying to give a service provider), I'm sure that they will start accepting bitcoin in the future.

Yes, the stop bitcoin as payment because of the same reason that everyone here is bitching about, high cost of fees and very slow confirmations. I can't imagine any companies now accepting bitcoin because of that issues. Even Steam, who have been an advent supporter of bitcoin stop its support because its not viable business wise.

However, as I understand it, Microsoft decision is only temporary. However, if the dramatic increase in the fees to process a transaction can't be answered, there will be a lot of business that will driven to make the same move as Steam and Microsoft.

I'm not aware though if they would open its doors for altcoins such as Litecoin or any other coins in general.
