I agreed with OP, many of people still mining, more of them trying to integrate bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in everyday life, even in my country we got some ATMs and many shops accept bitcoin as payments. And in last days bitcoin grew from ~5800$ to 6800$, so I think with such trend we will see 10,000$ till the end of this year.

Not really, I waited on that. I sold my bitcoins while it was ~9400$ for one bitcoin, and waited on drop to see 5000 - 5500$ to buy them back, but drop ended at ~5860$, so I decided to buy back at 6100$ while lil pump, so now just holding and waiting on 10,000$ to move to alts.

I agreed with you, that people shouldn't follow panic and shouldn't sell BTC cheaper, than they already bought (not sure about alts). Usually, such mistakes do newbies in trading, you always should think rationally and realize, that while you holding - you losing nothing.  Easily to not think about drop for cheap, with amounts what you ready to lose, that's why, you shouldn't invest more, than you are willing to lose.

I think, that keep your money in gold and in BTC is a good decision and here why: gold will provide a stable income, can't say that it can be easily traded, but it's still possible. Bitcoin is gold of this century, this is not really stable "assets", but in long-term, they will provide a good profit for holders and investors.

Back to this almost dead topic, I came up with the idea of clothes with crypto logos. But instead of doing prints on clothes by using services and then resell, I thinking of making clothes from own materials and with own label. Right now, I'm thinking about classic polo with bitcoin embroidered logo. Price will be 15$ + (8$ shipping).  But will be it relevant now, how you think?

That's why this system needs blockchain, just imagine that everyone will be able to check on what their money will go and be sure that no one will steal it. Clear and simple, and all this available online 24/7. But the main question, is government ready for that and will they support it?

Of course, that bitcoin was the first currency is not playing a big role, but more important popularization. I think everyone remembers, that after the end of 2017 when there was hype around bitcoin and 80% of people, who knew or heard about bitcoin, mining in same time knew nothing about other cryptocurrencies.

As said OP, government doing many useful things for people on money, what they getting from taxes. Just because of taxes, we have free medicine and free education, also Paying the salary of government employees and more. But the main problem, that people can't check on what their taxes going, so there would be useful to integrate blockchain in this system.

Won't say that I started learning/using bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies not for earning money, because it will be not a truth. But I agreed with OP, that simple buying /selling crypto won't support a project, people should invest money in services what trying to integrate crypto in everyday life of people and by this help to project and increase the price of the coin.

Yes, I think it's more than possible, we can periodically see manipulation in altcoins with pumps and dumps with new coins or ICO tokens.  And a group of people with big money can do that to bitcoin as well by affecting on the news and other media resources and creating panic.

If talk about big money, I think, safer invest and hold money in gold or silver, than holding money in banks, Of course, you can say, that bank provides stable % and some programs provide cash back for small deposits, if something will happen with the bank, but nothing for big deposits - so it's still risky

I don't think, that bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies will disrupt economic stability or there will be inflation due to bitcoin in a country, I believe that in our economy can be symbiosis fiat and cryptocurrency. And plus, I think, that cryptocurrencies developing countries. Just look,  how many new businesses were created in last year and how many old businesses started using 'blockchain" and with this, they increased their profits and improved the economic situation in the country.

First of all, investing in cryptocurrencies - is something like gambling, in the first week you made +8% profit and next day will lose 13%. You need to set goals (max price to "out") and try to not invest all money in one cryptocurrency, you should split your balance and risk only 10 - 40% from it. Also, if see panic and planning to sell, don't sell everything at once, try to cut your loss by selling part by part, this will help you to have a mild result.

To continue life and create more prospective future of virtual currency like bitcoin, we should stop using bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as online assets or speculative material and more think, how to integrate them into the everyday life of people. Also, we need to add some rules, that will block the creation of new shitcoins, which only harm the market.

Every day I see more news about future of bitcoin's price and most of the people saying, that bitcoin will continue his downtrend till ~2,500$, but I don't think it will happen, myself I think bitcoin's price continues downing till 5,000$ and then will start growing,  right now mining still profitable, but if bitcoin continue downing - mining will be not profitable and this is big problem for miners.

I agreed with OP, as the beginner, you should choice long-term strategy aka holding, than start with day-trading, because beginners, who start with day-trading don't know how to filter info, what they getting from the different sites and in 90% they start guessing, and as result losing their money. Plus setting goals also important!

I think, here many different reasons on the market, what effect on price dropping at the same time, such as bad news. I think everyone remembers price drop by more than 60% because of news, when hackers hacked an exchanger, also important situation around crypto, I remember price drop on 13% after bitcoin was blocked in an Asian country.

I agreed with your thinking and all what I can say - random people don't care, will you lose your money or no. Profit for themselves - only one thing about they care. And I more than sure, that creating tons of accounts for telling that bitcoin is dead and you should sell, they do it just for creating fake panic and down bitcoin's price, to buy for low price and sell later with profit.
