It is definitely worth it for the future because of its potential to become the money of the future. Better to have, and not need, than to need, and not have. If you want, you can trade your BTC to alts as what most people are currently doing to multiply their BTC, then once you gained profit, you can mine for passive income.

Are your referring to 1M in Philippine Peso or USD? If it is in Philippine Peso, then it is possible to reach that price range again within 2018 but if you're talking about the benjamins, patiently waiting until year 2020 could be possible for BTC to reach $1M if it continues mass adoption and steady bull run.

The technology behind bitcoin is still developing and there are a lot of skilled developers out there who could help in its progress and growth. I personally think that businesses related to bitcoin in the future will boom and could possibly boost a country's economy once the people have adopted cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin has an unforeseen future nestled somewhere in time. In my opinion, people are using BTC right now as their store of value due to sideways movement of its price then they convert it to alts to multiply and increase their BTC holdings. The Bull run we've seen last year is exhausting for bitcoin, let it rest for now and hope for the best of what's ahead of us.

There are risks in everything and it is part of one's way to success. Mistakes in investment strategy causes loss and it is important to learn form it and use it for your gain. Do not let your emotions affect your strategy and if you don't need the money yet, even if it's a bloodbath you're seeing in your portfolio, do not withdraw it yet unless there's a really bad news on your investments.

During these times, Patience is the key to success. It is understandable that people are using BTC as a store of value right now and leaping to altcoins to make profit and multiply their BTC, but I think in the end, they would still trade their alts to BTC once they gained enough profit.

Scam is a business and it is here to stay. It depends on the people's mindset, most of those who are getting scammed are believing in a "Get Rich Quick Scheme" which is too good to be true, therefore, they could lose money. There should be learning from own and others' mistake to avoid scam.

We will definitely be hearing more of bitcoin in social media and news, mostly about the negativities that surround it which could affect the people's perception about bitcoin. It would boost bitcoin's popularity regardless whether good or bad, it's still publicity. Bitcoin has prevailed and came out stronger than ever from last year's issues and dramas which results to gaining people's attention and curiosity about bitcoin, therefore, increasing its value.

I would definitely store most of my BTC for long term investment but I'll withdraw some of it so I can buy mining rigs for passive income, then if everything goes well, I would open up with some of my friends and collaborate in setting up an exchange here in our country. I am hoping to achieve all these within the next 10 years.

You have to study the system first because there will be greater risks if you do not know what you are doing. You may also join signature campaigns and other bounties in this community to earn BTC. In my opinion, trading is an effective way to earn more BTC but you just have to study about it and monitor religiously.

This is truly a remarkable and one step forward for bitcoin. The question now is "When will it be fully developed and implemented?". Surely, if this milestone has been achieved, there will be more investors that will get attracted to bitcoin. Happy New Year everyone!

I believe that the future of money is cryptocurrency. It is not yet entirely at its full potential but people will realize its true value once they got educated with its purpose and they learn how to gain profit from it. In cryptosphere there are many possibilities and impossibilities waiting to unfold. The technology behind is very promising for the future.

It is not impossible to reach $22k. The whales are getting back and buying large volumes. Probably, there will still be more of bitcoin's signature volatility within this month, but the correction that happened the past few weeks due to the holiday season should be enough for bitcoin's value to rise and shine again. I am hoping for the best to come for bitcoin this 2018.

In my opinion, the price of bitcoin will continue to go sideways until we see the whales get back in the game post-holiday season or until the implementation of lightning network. I think it's a good time to buy BTC during the dips then sell when you have enough profit already. Do not be too greedy on your investments.

I suggest you diversify your portfolio. It is recommended to keep 70% of your funds to the Big 3 of crypto world: BTC, LTC, ETH. Then, put the rest of it to atleast 5-10 alts which you have made research on. 2017 has been a remarkable year for cryptocurrencies and I hope that 2018 will become a better year. There are many promising altcoins out there which could return you a good profit either for trading or long term investment.

It is possible that the higher fees we're experiencing right now is because of the miners probably taking a vacation due to holiday season, another reason is that there could be some group of people trying to sabotage the network. Bitcoin is currently moving sideways because people tend to buy it now then convert it to altcoins. Once the implementation of lightning network takes place, it will be another wild ride to the moon.

Well, this is how FUD goes. It's like a disease spreading death attempting to erase bitcoin's existence. We might be seeing more of this in the coming year 2018 but we all know bitcoin will always prevail and what doesn't kill it, will only make it stronger.

There have been so many articles regarding bitcoin spreading negativities and FUD which results to more people getting interested and curious about bitcoin. It does not matter whether the news about bitcoin is positive or negative, I think it's due to these publicity stunts why bitcoin is gaining popularity across the world. Those who invests in bitcoin must know both sides of the coin.

In my opinion, being profitable depends on your strategy, decision making, entry and exit point, controlling your emotions and greed, and the most important - Patience. We all know that bitcoin has proven itself this year and it has a long way to go. Full Development of its technology and mass adoption will be the cue for its takeoff to the moon.

It all depends on the investor's strategy. It doesn't matter whether you do short term trading or hodling for long term investment, what matters is your own goal and strategy. Profit is still a profit. Do not let greed take over and learn from your mistakes to be a better and wiser investor/trader.
