Do not be in haste for some quick jump or some growth first, as you need to realize that this is something that would need to take some time as far as I am concerned. The rate at which a lot of people are just expecting what happened last year to happen all of a sudden again this year, is so funny, but the truth of it all is the fact that you cannot get to see the market just pop up all of a sudden as there is always what they call some little bit of calm even after the storm.

We have been in a downtrend for a while now, so it is a normal thing to note that, this is not something that would just immediately convert to an uptrend, it will develop into it, and no one can actually tell what the price would ever be in the short term or even in the long term.

You are talking about a marketcap of 4.250 trillion dollars give or take. 250 thousand dollars per bitcoin times 17 million bitcoins give or take would mean about 4.25 trillion dollars in total. Nothing impossible but definitely a lot more than you would imagine from a coin that is capped at around 120 billion or so for the past 5 months. That is an insane amount of increase if it happens but I doubt it would be possible anytime soon, could it happen in 20 years? Sure. Could it happen in 2020 ? Don't think so.

Even the big stock markets like NASDAQ and NYSE needed decades before they could reach that levels even with all companies that were public listed on those two they still failed. Which means bitcoin can definitely reach there but would take a lot longer than just couple years for it to get there. Crypto in general could reach there far faster of course.

It is sad that these are the two options in peoples minds. You can surely have quick gains but also change the world financially with bigger deals. You do not have to buy and sell to make a change in the world, you can basically focus on making your gains while trying to spend bitcoin at as many places as you can.

Yeah, you can have an investment to bitcoin and you may need to spend fiat to live but there are still places that accepts bitcoin, in that type of situation just go ahead and buy whatever you want with bitcoin if you can, tells the world there are people who are willing to spend bitcoin instead of dollar or any other fiat.

If you do that and still hold your investment you will be both making quick gains and still changing the world. Instead of giving fiat just give crypto and use that fiat to buy more crypto later on.

One way to always get the best of any market is to always buy when everyone is busy selling and scared to get in, and sell when everyone is getting greedy. At this stage, I believe this is the former and anyone who is smart enough to know that at time like this, is the time to make sure you are at least accumulating what you know you will be happy about in the long run that you did.

There is always one thing about trying. It is either you try and fail and live with it, but the worst thing that can ever happen to any man, is not even trying at all, and in this case, when you see the future of the market growing huge, you will never stop blaming yourself for not taking advantage of now.

Well, that is something that is always likely to be possible, but before then, I am sure we could have seen some slow movement upward to some pretty good extent at least before the pre-pump with respect to halving that will occur in 2020. For now though, I am not a fan of trying to think or assume when a bull run will be starting, so one way or the other, whenever it is going to be starting, that will be glaring for everyone to see, but the most important thing is to never let accumulating now pass us by.

I am sure a lot of us are really hoping for the end of the year, but I believe hope is not what will move the market, demand most definitely will. For now though, we have been seeing the market move sideways, so in some ways, we can still expect the possibility of some hope anyway, but at the same time, nothing is certain yet at least, until we are able to see the market pick a struggle eventually. I would not expect much for bitcoin at the end of the year, but I am actually looking forward to the altcoins though as they have been showing some initial bullish moves already for a while now.

If you read their whitepapers you can see what the new coins are promising.
For example, I have seen a totally unnecessary one just recently, there was this guy who is running a marketing agency (well he is not running an agency, he is just one person doing freelance) and he wanted to start a new token and get it going because he believed he could get advertisers and people who need marketing together and just build a platform where everyone can either work for marketing and make money or spend that token to get their marketing needs met. Now I am not a big marketing genius but you can build a platform like that in bitcoin or any other coin we have right now.

Why would people use a new coin. There are a lot of people who keep on thinking they can make a new coin with a smart idea behind it but no one replies to "why wouldn't they use bitcoin instead" properly.

Not just Sony, a lot of big companies are working on making their lives easier with proper blockchain solutions to their troubles because blockchain can actually give you a lot of ease of use and tracking.

Sony seems to be one of the big names we heard so far but even Bank of America which is one of the biggest banks in all of USA has a lot of blockchain patents which means they are working towards solutions for themselves as well (or hopefully, otherwise they might just lease those patents to other companies for profits).

I think blockchain solutions are loved by big companies who are not even interested in crypto right now, which means blockchain adoption will be faster than crypto adoption. There are a lot fo blockchain companies that gets funded as well by the VC companies but I honestly believe that will slow down in time.

Well, first of all you need to select some indicators that you believe will make a difference for your trading. There are some simple ones and there are some advanced ones, I guess you can start with simple stuff like Bollinger Band and all that for your first trades and while doing trades that way you can learn the other advanced parts of it.

However, you should know no matter how much a trade looks technical when it is bitcoin and crypto we are talking about there is absolutely no way a technical indicator can give you a heads up about some rich person selling or buying bunch of it all at once and changing the look of the market. There are a lot of those sudden changes going around in bitcoin and you wouldn't wanna be caught up in between that so act quick when buying or selling.

Poloniex is basically owned by Circle right now, which is backed by Goldman Sachs one of the biggest companies in the whole world and most certainly one of the most successful in finance world. They basically bankrupted because of their greed and still managed to get bailed out by their lobbying.

Now, considering all of this I doubt they are after screwing their customers and making money that way, it wouldn't be smart. I am not saying they wouldn't do it if it profited them but giving their customers the best experience they can would profit them more than stealing from their customers. When they can make more money by becoming the best exchange out there why would they risk it by stealing money which I am sure quite unimportant compared to what they are already making and ruin their chance of more profits in the future.

I would not have guess that. I would assume stocks would be quite strict and not move as much, maybe because bitcoin has been really stable for the past 5 months but in reality bitcoin looks a lot more volatile than stocks on any given day.

Apparently I was wrong, it is interesting to see "crypto" as the more stable option of investment over stocks, even saying that makes me giggle a bit, no one could possible imagine this would happen.

This is the currency that moved from hundreds to thousands, thousands to millions and now billions of dollars of marketcap in couple years and stocks are just, well stocks they do get 20% if you are lucky and that is about it. Interesting to see how this finance world react to it and get in on bitcoin according to this knowledge.

I have been saying this for the longest time, if you want to look like a proper project you need to hire the best graphic designers you can afford, any website that looks like it was made on wordpress by a simple fool can claim they are an ICO but I won't invest in them, you need to have a proper team behind the project and if you are small enough to consider a designer as an expense than I won't be investing into your ICO.

I can give up on an ICO in two seconds, just go on their web page and leave and that happened before, I need to be reeled in to their website by how it looks and if you can't manage it than I am out. Not only website but also from wallets to twitter to all graphic needs should look proper before you publish it. Without those things I am definitely out.

It always goes down and up, just because it goes down a bit there is no point on getting excited or scared. You can be rest assured that bitcoin will go both directions all the time. It will never be sort of coin that will either stay the same or at least move one direction, it will definetly move to all directions possible.

It goes up (like we saw last year when it hit 20 thousand dollars) it goes down (like we saw going down to 6 thousand dollars) and it goes sideways (like it has been for the past 5 months). Bitcoin usually goes down when there is someone that sells a lot of bitcoin at once or at least there is a market scare about something and people sell to get out, thats the only reason, more bitcoins sold than bought which causes the market to drop to cover the difference.

Blockchain has a big potential but the coin seems to be sleepy.

Even while it is 200 dollars and dropped maybe 7 times lower than its all time high and not even making decent profits for the miners the blockchain technology is still getting funded by the VC capital firms to the companies that uses ethereum blockchain for some software products.

It doesn't matter how little or high you think ethereum will go but one thing is for sure, ethereum blockchain will be really big in the future with those types of funding. If the blockchain is going to be really used everywhere than I am pretty sure the coin will be really valuable too.

Considering the VC fund spent on it plus the miners taking back and the ICO's eventually will come back, I am pretty sure ethereum has a shot of being clear second coin again.

Wouldn't it all depend on when you need the money though ?
I mean yeah I think if you want to buy bitcoin it is the perfect time because it is as low as miners would allow it but do we really know when it will go up ?

We know it won't go down and it will go up which is AMAZING in any trade, if someone told you there is something that will give you twice the investment you put in and will never go down you would jump on the chance yet people are not thinking bitcoin that way, why ? Because, we don't know when it will be, we know it will happen but maybe it will be tomorrow or maybe it will be Q4 of 2019 ? Who knows at this point. That is why people are not tying their investments to bitcoin because they feel like they have time to save up or do something else with their money and comeback this summer and the price would still be the same and the worst part is, they could be right.

I understand that developing countries are more interested in crypto than developed countries but that is mainly for two reasons. One, their money doesn't worth as much as the euros and pounds and dollars of the world which means they are trying to make more money from the small movements, for example money of Ukraine is 27 to 1 last time I checked against the dollar, which means if the price moves 10 dollars for bitcoin to dollar it moves 270 for bitcoin to Ukrainian money.

Same with all these developing countries, they can take advantage a lot more from the small movements. Plus, the 10% in Germany is putting up more money than the 20%-30% in some third world country because Germans putting up couple million euros is bigger than some other third world country putting up couple million of their own money which probably worth couple hundred thousand euros at most.

Gold and silver has always been the safe haven in the past when it comes to storing value, and they still are when people are trying to run away from the inflated fiat system. Now, that we have the crypto space which actually stands a huge chance of being in this category, there is certainly no doubt at all that the potential as a store of value is hugely there. One thing I know when it gets to this stage of a financial crisis in a country is to see people trying to find a safe spot, and in this case, I believe the crypto space even though it is young, can still be classified as one.

Not even a single threat actually. I remember some of the things that happened in some parts of European countries in the past, and when banks were trying to do somethings very strange which would affect a lot of people, we started seeing a lot of people seeing the crypto space as a safe spot for storing value. I cannot remember the incidence but I can remember Spain was involved. Italy may be a small country, but the reality check is that, even if there would be any impact at all when it comes to crisis in Italy, it will only be a positive one.

Normally, there is no one on earth that will want to be deliberately losing as that would be uncalled for actually. The reason a lot of people tend to lose most of the time is because they are doing things they are not supposed to be doing in the first place and the most of it is not to ever trade without the knowledge and skill of how to trade.

It is pretty amazing the way people approach trading in a way like they can just blend in, learn from their mistakes and get better. Mistakes will happen even after learning, but without knowing the basics, building a strategy with those basics, and then keep learning as much as you can, you won't be learning from your mistakes, you will be failing woefully over and over again with your mistakes until you get frustrated.

Talking about bounties, I have been doing bounties for a while now, and I can say at least, I have never had the problem of being a part of a scam bounty, and I have never really ended up with a failed ICO as well, but I do my due diligence just as any investor would do. In most cases, even if the team is legit, I want to see the prospect, because I have more to lose when it comes to time. For a legit team, if an ICO ends up unsuccessful, they get their funds back, for bounty participants; it is just a sorry case.

With everything in life, there is always a risk still the knowledge you have when it comes to managing those risks is what makes you different from those who does not have the knowledge and will always give you an edge. Anything at all from trading, investing, bounty hunting and so on, the risk will always be there.

Having more than enough finance is not always the only thing you will need to choose whether you want to trade or you want to go into business. The most important thing is to learn the environment you are trading and then be able to utilize that environment to your favor effectively.

Bitcoin trading can be very promising and profiting but that will depend on your level of knowledge and how you are able to manage every market situations, and at the same time, businesses outside of trading cryptocurrencies or whatever, can also be promising and profiting, but all depends on your level of knowledge and expertise in that zone as well. In life, there is no shortcut to anything and you have to get the knowledge to be able to thrive in any space you find yourself, as that is what matters the most.

Probably it is time for you to stop thinking and stop hearing rumors, because everything you said makes you sound pretty absurd than you can imagine right now. Even if Craig wright wants to dump on the market, that is his own cup of tea but there is no single place on the net where he came out to say, 'hey guys, I am dumping on the market, so better watch out', this is just some stuffs you or maybe someone else fabricated in your dreams.

Secondly, no one knows the identity of satoshi, and it is going to remain like that forever, at least until further notice, so stop stressing your brain identifying Nick Szabo as satoshi or CW as it or not.
