I am a student and I mostly interested in technology because I can develop my skills by researching Bitcoin as a research project. When I was 14 I first join Bitcoin community and after that, I am learning about it. If I have a full-time job I do not think I will risk it for Bitcoin I don't care about the price but I prefer jobs much easier than getting projects in Bitcoin. Newton spinner full day in a company with a constant speed of work but with Bitcoin, your speed of work is depending on how much money you are going to make.

This is an excellent news. Actual legalization of trade in crypto currencies in Korea will make the market more transparent.
In addition, this is excellent news for Koreans, confirming that there are reasonable people in the government. They understand the uselessness of the prohibitive measures.

Bitcoin is very volatile. It goes up and down at no time. But I started to think what causes its values to go down. These past few days, its prices are notably lower that last year's values. Last year, I believe, during the first few months, its prices are likewise low. Do bitcoin prices go down every January to February? Does it have a logical association?

There is no difference between now and future about predicting the price. It would be the same, some prediction is right and some prediction is wrong, the same in future. All is not accurate, simply because no one can see what will happen next.

You should try enrolling in signature campaigns when you get a better rank on this forum (you just need to post and contribute to get ranked up) or try doing small tasks like signing up on sites or something (it pays small amounts, but you can rack up some money). If you have some starting budget, try trading alternative cryptocurrencies.

Having a country banned bitcoin can affect negatively to bitcoin though, since people will get the wrong perception and begin to think that bitcoin really is something bad.
Moreover they use the reason like criminal and such, and those people who don't understand may believe and try to badmouth bitcoin as well.
But it may affect more drastic if there are many bitcoin investors in france, and they're forced to sell all their bitcoin and never access it again. And this new regulation may also lead to another banned from others countries, though i hope it won't ever happen.

when you put it like that, this statement is not correct.
a correct statement is that bitcoin price has nearly zero chance of going to zero. and it has a low chance of dropping lower than $10k. but it can go to zero. bitcoin is just a code, and an experiment still. there can be a serious flaw in it which is also unfixable that can kill it. but the important thing is the chance of that happening is nearly 0 so we trust it and invest in it.
and this chance is not just for bitcoin, lots of things are like this.

reading the article i don't get why they ever are talking about "going to zero", that doesn't make any sense. specially at this point that bitcoin has grown this big with lots of adoption not just from speculators/investors but also from lots of merchants and millions of dollars is changing hands by these merchants on monthly basis.

Impossible to guess the lowest threshold prices. You should always buy and sell coins in the middle of the chart. The volatility of the bitcoin and allows it to do. You will always have profit. If you try to guess the lowest or the highest price level you will lose profit and will get nervous breakdown.

Maybe you're right that the price will start growing in February. So far, there are a lot of FUDs. The need for some good news is that the price can move up faster. I think that higher growth will be around the summer.

First of all, can 1 million USD really make you rich?

Bitcoin is an asset, not a cash generator. So if you only set on top of your bitcoin(s), then they will become only less and less when you cash out. And if you want to support yourself for 10years, 1 million is only a drop of water...

Hi bro,
I am eagerly waiting to join in my first signature campaign with you.

waw it is a very large amount, I think with that amount I would prefer to invest in Bitcoin cash and Ethereum. and by 2020 they are already sitting above $ 10000.

Not only South Korea but China also planning to  regulate cryptocurrency exchanges or ask for more taxes.
this will lead more to start regulating bitcoin or try to ban mining.
i read SK will accept trading again soon.

Jan 29th futures expire... will this be a new LOW? Possibly 7-8K this time?

I recommend watching Jan 27-29 prices VERY CLOSELY!

If it dips, you'll know 100% there's still price manipulation amongst the bears. Furthermore, if it does dip, that will be the time to buy into it again as it will probably have a 20% rally on Jan 30.

These are just my thoughts and speculations.
