If there is a market recovery down the line this 2019, then Stellar Lumens could be one coins that will benefit from it since this is a steady coins for the last couple of years so I wouldn't be surprise if the price hits $0.66 and specially if devs are really active and always regularly updated the project and improved it.

So it really depends on the market conditions this year, if it improved then most notable coins will ride the wave, if not then we are in for a very bad rude awakening as the price might continue to go down.

I can't imagine myself being the person behind Facebook so I must say that If given the chance to travel back in time, then I would definitely go on bitcoin mining in early days 

Just imagine that you can mine it using ordinary PC and you will make a lot of bitcoins and then just continue to mine as long as you can and let it sit in your wallet and wait till 2017 so dump some of your stash and buy Lambo, that would be amazing.

Right, we may have some improvement in the last week or so, but it doesn't mean it will be sustainable. As far as I know the recent price increase was due to the 'eventual' approval of Bitcoin ETF, so many FOMO.

But if you have to read between the lines,  I don't know why people started to get excited, personally, it doesn't mean a imminent approval, it might have a good chance but I don't see it likely to be approved. And after the noise has died down, the market seems to stabilized again, sort of.

It's because investors attitude are still affected by the current bear market, but there are a lot of projects hitting there soft or hard cap so I guess investors are willing as long as the project looks promising.

Maybe the opportunity is still there, but it's no where close in a bull market in 2017. Money can be made but not the same, you could hit a jackpot if the ICO become successful, but you have to take that risk as well.

I beg to disagree, I think if you're really a beginner, you need to spent a lot of time learning the trick and trade of this market. You can't just put order, or used a bot as a beginner, you need to understand how everything works, the technical stuff and something.

Those who trades with bots to automate thing are far more advance and can just spend less time monitoring the price and just comes back when everything has settled down. If you really don't want to spend time here it's either you just buy and HODL on it, or just simply stay away until such time that you're ready.

I believed that everyone is looking for a change this 2019, but so far the price continue to suffer and there's no major movement whatsoever.

So it means that we have a long way to go this 2019, but I don't want to be negative but I'm not seeing any significant news that will make this a good recovery year. We will continue to trade sideways and will only see minor spike and there will be no bull-run, in my opinion.

Right, that's why this news is making a lot of noise, specially coming from one of the largest banks in the  country. The country is alrady in the cryptocurrency map because it is already friendly and has amended regulations like AML/KYC for local exchanges.

Only the Philippines is only a small country, but it will surely influence the rest of the region and it could boost bitcoin adoption by local merchants and even big stores in the Philippines, it's really very cool if that happen in the future.

Not clicking as well, this is another market strategy from the looks of it.

But to answer the questions, for me everything can be taught or learn in this life. So definitely, it can be made. I'm sure that majority of us didn't know how to be a good trader or investor. But as we go along this journey, we learn some lessons and we gain experienced. We learn how to control our emotions and use logic to make trades so no doubt that every aspects of life can be taught, imho.

Ok, I don't want to click the link but obviously this is a marketing ploy for the company. Of course, I think they can find a lot of people willing to take the challenge because of the attractive prize.

But I guess, they will just choose one person only for this challenge and will follow the progress like how is he/she doing without his smartphone or if he/she can really maintain the agonising year without your phone around. We all know that every corner of the world, you can find someone with at least one smart phones, so this is going to be interesting.

Ok, I just look at cmc and indeed Ethereum is back. Good trading volume though in the last 24 hours, which is a indication that investors are possibly shifting to Ethereum again and pumping it, or they are buying in anticipation of the reported fork.

But remember that we are still in the bear market, so for everyone thinking that this is a continued growth then, just be careful. Of course, there is the potential but unless bitcoin goes on another bull run, altcoins will still suffer at this trend, including Ethereum. So let's see how the price turns out prior the the fork but most importantly after, thats where I'm afraid of, maybe after the fork is done there might be another sell-off to make a quick profit.

I don't think that there are new investors buying in just because the price is very cheap. New investors are getting smarter I believed, and won't simply willing to take the risk on getting in today even if the price is still at a discount.

Mostly new investors loves to FOMO, so there's no way for them purchase at this long bearish market because they wanted to earn a quick and easy money and won't wait or HODL or it for a long time.

We have been waiting for the news for so long that majority of us grow tired already from Bitcoin ETF approval. So it looks like  we are back to normal again and there is no more pump as the price seems to settle at the $3600 again.

Not to burst your bubble, but don't put too much expectations this coming months as I don't see anything that will push the price again. It's going to be the usual sideway patterns and hope that the price won't go back to where it is before the pump, $3400.

I guess there is always the possibilities that there are countries who will totally ban this innovation and who will go hostile on crypto and the technology behind.

Like what we have seen lately, usually it is a country that is developing that tends to embrace this technology because of its huge advantage, specially immutability.  And it only make sense though for developing nations to accept it with very openly because of the potential to help them continue to grow in the next 5-10 years and be first rate nation.

Well, I will based on the average price that I witnessed during the bull cycle in 2017 and I would say it will be around $1k/day, I think this is just a conservative estimates though.

We really can't measure FOMO until such time that we're really in a bull run. But I would like to see is just a steady and slow growth, don't want to see massive spurts and then followed by eventual crash.

Right, lately there's a lot of spike in the news again regarding the approval or rejection of Bitcoin ETF, that's while we made some rally in the last 2-3 days.

But, don't be excited because it is not yet approved so we can't see the net positive effect yet. If might really bring a influx of cash, but I would like to see its a steady growth and not the bubble that we have seen in 2017, so we need to wait.

Obviously, we have been in the longest bearish trend so far so that coins is still cheap.

So there's still potential to more money, you just have to be smarter and know how to play the game. If you're here for the long haul, then this is the perfect time to invest because as you have said almost all of the coins has lost 90% of its price.

Bull run might be around the corner or it could take months or years. But we shouldn't be disappointed though but take every opportunity and be smart so that you can make big profits in the future by investing today.

Right, totally unexpected for Portland to not even scored double digits in the fourth. But it's ok, we will take this lost and man up.


Yes, a lot of basketball games ahead of us, this is just another bump but I'm sure that we will have a lot of winnings and streaks in the coming days.

Yes, both of them can be called cheaters.

Bounty hunters - enrolling multiple alts in a campaign so that they can claim more rewards.
ICO's - most of them are scammers and just putting up projects to be used as a pump-and-dump scheme.

So I guess no one is to blame here, sad but true.

Of course this is still the best time because the price is cheap, imho.

Don't FOMO and enter when the price is already at peaked, let the 2017 be a lessons for everyone to slowly accumulate and buy during the dip or when the price is very low.

We have seen some changes in the last 48 hours but it doesn't mean that this is a bull run. It is still a perfect time to still get in before a eventual bull run occurs in the coming months.

A lot of positive things have been happening around the XRP, so I seriously doubt that it will just die.

As much as majority of us really hate XRP because of its closeness to banking system, we shouldn't take this negatively though and we should respect the people behind this technology.

If you are a bitcoin enthusiast then so be it. But If you're smart investor, then it's hard not to throw some money on XRP, it might go on a bull run together with bitcoin, so take advantage of the price right now, just saying.
