I think that everybody here knows that bitcoin actually provides big risk as a asset to hold, even in such an event of very high price rise.
It is because the movement of on the price chart are very volatile: you cannot really expect anything from market, something may happen that will cause some part of your money to vanquish.

But we need to remember that every single investment we can make will contain a risk factor, not only in cryptocurrency world but also in real world. It means that we need to figure out what is the best solution for the amount of funds we have saved for such a purposes: if you prefer to risk a big part of them to have big returns, or to just stay safe, for constant small profits, it is all up to you.

In my opinion, we can pretty much tell that there are more possibilities, in which some other cryptocurrency will get advantage over the bitcoin.
The thing is, that we currently witness that bitcoin dominance is around 51% level.
It means that almost the half of the overall cryptocurrency market capitalization is ruled by altcoins, so I can really see some chances for altcoins against bitcoin: answering that question.

I think that Monero is a great enemy of bitcoin, because the anonymousness is much better on this particular cryptocurrency.
Also, it is pretty funny that Ripple is #2 in market capitalization, but it is a product of banks.

I think that current rise have told us that we can really expect more upward surges in at the BTC chart.
With last situation, even when blockchain is having a problems with miners fee size and confirmations time, the price has risen even up to 1600$.
It is lower right now, but it was still unexpected move. BTC price was pretty stable last times, when it has risen suddenly to 1300, then 1400 and then 1600!

I expect that it will go down right now, but I think that Japan will help a lot, because it can make other countries to make the same thing: adopt bitcoin as a possible payment option.

I guess that you are talking about earning some sum of bitcoins first, and after that investing them somewhere.
I think yes, that is a good way to start getting yourself into the cryptocurrency world. But to earn BTC online (obviously) you need some special skills to have an ability of getting hired as a coder, or at a freelancer website. There is also an option that you will have some of different skills that someones need at "services" section, so you can get payed with it.

Signature campaining is a great opportunity too, but you need to have some knowledge about bitcoin to make constructive posts. Also, without a decent rank on account you won't be able to stack a lot of BTC.

To be honest, I really regret making such a decision before but I cannot change this.
I have decided to sell most of my bitcoins that I have stored because I was considering that the 1300-1320$ area is a really attractive price for me, if we look at the history of the bitcoin you will see that it is really high at the yearly time frame chart.
I wanted to wait for a better price to have an ability of buying more ,and then selling with profit but looks like I have made a wrong decision. It is probably going to increase its value even more and I wont have that great chance to make some profits once again, and it is too late for me to buy ( at least that is my opinion ).

Why do you think that anonymousness of the bitcoin is also a roadblock for its path?
I dont see any way in how could something like that be harmful for the idea that the goverments will adopt bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. If there are so many people using it, then why should it be made illegal?
Another important thing is that bitcoin gives a lot of different opportunities for normal people, plus it is a way to pay our bills, buy goods etc. without using banking system, just simple peer-to-peer payments.

Why do we need to use some bank services, If there is a possibility to speed up the things a lot? I dont see any point, unless the transactions will get confirmed in such a long time like we have right now.

I think that bitcoin is a truly great thing, it gives us thousands of way to use it, when im not even talking about paying for different goods.
Luckily it has created a vast amount of opportunities for regular citizens of any countries, we have a potential way to invest into some new, great technology thanks to BTC and cryptocurrencies.
Without that tool, it is really hard for a normal person to invest into some revolutionary solutions, which may bring profits later. With bitcoin, such a thing is possible and is very easy: you just need to look in the correct place and know what is the best investment option for you.

I think that maximum, 5% of the population of our planet will use bitcoin in 2020.

That is totally not true, I cannot agree with you.
You need to remember that bitcoin may be easily used for many different things, such as investing, paying for goods, making settlements between companies/people and even more.
I may be able to give you even more reasons, why there are more differences between bitcoin and fiat money.
Also, you need to spot that if you are willing to earn bitcoin, all you have to do is work through the internet, or even invest. With regular cash, you go to work to get payed.

To be honest, I really cannot get the idea of analysing the bets that have been won/lost, because if it is random then it does not matter what was the outcome of the bet.
Im obviously talking about the dice only, because the thing is totally different when it comes to the sport betting. In such a case, you need to make an analysis of a really big number of matches, to be able of predicting if the team that you are willing to bet on, is going to win.

I usually have some kind of tactic to play, which pretty much covers me up with a big loss: I always do some kind of a goal to achieve and also I make up the stop loss for myself (in gambling, obviously)

The thing you are talking about is only true in the enviroment of the really bad coin with a low BTC volume, plus with assumption that the trader has a vast quantity of cash.
If you are willing to trade or just buy-in some cheap altcoins, you dont really need a lot of money to have some opportunity.

But all that is just a gambling if you are not educated enough about cryptocurrencies.
You need to have an ability to  find out which altcoins have potential, and which are mostly going to get dumped or just not really welcomed well.
Without such a skill, you are mostly going to lose the money on this type of activities.

Yeah exactly, Im glad that at least you do not agree with his proposal. The post of Obito is actually some kind of an advertisment, I really dont like such a people who are recommending only some specified sites.
Also, this is not a real advice because it gives only one possibility- uisng his "coinexpro" where you dont really have to do anything else, than just giving money to them: a passive income.

We already know that a big part of sites like that are in most cases dissapearing with the money of their customers but we cannot do a lot about it. The only way we can fight with it, is to warn other users about such a sites, and make lists of the bitcoin related shady operations.

If you are saying the truth, then you have to be really happy with current market situation.
To be honest, I was dreaming about having at least the bigger part of my wealth stacked in cryptocurrencies, but i have only few % of it
It is also not worth for me to obtain more ( convert ) because the bitcoin price is waaay to high for an investment not on long-term.
I'm going to wait a little bit longer to see more attractive price, and probably I will try making my supply even bigger than it was before.

Actually, the topic of this thread is false.
We did not have 1400$ price level reached so far, unless you are talking about every single cryptocurrency exchanges, including bitfinex- because that is the only place where it has crossed over this price.
On the other places, the price was slighlty smaller. The all-time high is at 1377$ per bitcoin, which is a really good price if we consider how much bitcoin was worth 10 years ago.

I think that the time when it is so profitable to invest into bitcoin has passed, unless the btc/usd rate will drop below 1300$. I would not recommend buying on such a mountain.
That would make me just lose my money probably, i prefer to stay out of the risk.

Luckily, im one hundred percent sure that I do not have any problems with lack of gambling activities.
I really like doing that to be honest, because it gives me the adrenaline during doing nice bets. But I do not treat this as some way to gain any profits from that, I just prefer to gamble only to have fun from it.
If you are not thinking about the profit you are going to make from the winning bet, then you dont feel such a struggle to win: you just dont care about the result of the betting session.
That is my way to work with such a thing, and at least for me it a best solution, as far as i know.

Why do you think that any kind of a bitcoin/cryptocurrency online gambling website would attract only rich or wealthy people?
In my opinion that is a totally false belief, because you the bitcoin and overall, the cryptocurrencies have given a great way for a regular, grey man to play in a casino without a big amount of funds needed to enter such a place.
Another great advantage I can see, is that you dont have to accept the fact of being overcomed by house edge, because on the online casinos this housedge is kind of small.
I would be really annoyed to play on 5%, because the other side has great influence on you thanks to that.

Bitcoin for me is not just a store of value or something in which I can invest into, it is something bigger at least for me.

With bitcoin, I can make my financials better every month. I can use it as a second source of income, because it is not so difficult to earn the BTC every month in a different ways: even without any deposits.
That is something really great in my opinion, after all im holding my bitcoins so I can earn on the price getting increased, but I also get the interest from using those BTC to get some interest rates.

If you are able to solve out how to get decent, passive income thanks to a bitcoin, you may really get happy and successful about finances, but that is only up to you.
Without enough effort made, that is not going happen: you need to work on your success.

Many people say that bitcoin is the best because of the possibilities that it gives to a regular citizen of even badly developed country, but I think that BTC is far more than that.
You can literally pay everyone in the world for anything, just by sitting your home and with staying anonymous: all that while avoiding using bank transfer system, what is simply great.
The money cannot be tracked, the espionage agencies are not going to know what happened with your money, and where did you send them. Goverment simply cannot control bitcoin and it is decentralized: that is the thing that I like in bitcoin the most.

I think that panic selling is something that is widely known in the traders community, not only in altcoin traders community, but in forex and stock ones too.
Everybody who is into the markets and charts have seen somehow a big amount of packages which contained massive sell orders. People just dumping the asset to bail-out as fast as possible, to cover their funds.
It happens at all the markets, and is inevitable. The crowd tend to do that, because one important news may decrease trust to some company, or just a organization.
It sometimes mean that the drop caused by some news is a great way to buy-in, because the price is decreased and that is just a fake-signal for bears.

That is a really good idea if you are willing to invest such a big sum of money into a estate.
Imw really curious in which city and country you are living in, because if it is highly developed one, then the price of an big office in a city centre would be really high.
But such a place is a really good investment, because the prices are constantly rising, because the city is still growing and properties near it are most expensive.

There is always a question how you are going to collect bitcoins for such a purpose, because the amount of funds needed for something like that is big, but im sure you know that there are many ways in which you can multiply your funds.

Firstly, Im really sorry about all your losses but I hope you are going to recover them in a future, or even soon if the luck will be with you.
But I think you should already know that without proper conclusions taken out of every loss, you are not going to improve yourself as a trader. In fact, you will stay in the same place without any upgrades to your techniques, strategies and money management.

Every really successful trader has had many losses in history, this is just inevitable to be in such a trouble when doing trading. Sometimes, the market simply does not go into your favor, and you may blast whole your balance.
But it is about making yourself better, so always think about your mistakes, to not make them during next trading session.
