I  have made many request in the past about my entry and my real entry was at 58 and not 217 which is a  fake entry by the way and that is not me, please do rectify it and i have posted many times in this thread as well as made private message and still no response from the bounty manager which is really sad. please do rectify it.

We cannot expect the market to rise all the time but we are a good cooling period and i am sure that the market will recover by late end  this year and the market keeps on moving higher and break new all time high valuation by next year and we will have a break out year in 2020 with the halving i expect another big rally.

I am not sure how regulation will improve the security of bitcoin, even with all the regulations, if an exchange is hacked you will end up loosing all your coins unless the exchange is insured. I would like to see a market without much regulation but it is bound to happen one time or another, so i expect the regulations to come into full effect in a couple of years globally.

These half cooked knowledge is the main problem with many people who does not understand what they are talking about and they try to hear about misinformation provided by people who does not even know what this technology is all about and how it works, some people are just stupid enough that they wont be taking time to learn about it before commenting.

This is the truth, there is an investigation going on in terms of market manipulation and majority of times the Mt Gox team is selling off the coins in huge numbers and basically there are more sellers in the market and that is affecting the price and i am sure they do play a part in this market situation, the amount the coins from their cold wallet moves there is a panic situation and people are selling off their coins fearing for another major correction.

Most of the investors are looking to convert their profits to bitcoin, but there are several other projects with much better short term potential that could give you a much bigger profit than bitcoin, if the price of bitcoin is able to breach the $10k valuation we could see a rally, book your profits when you see the market looking weak and wait for the fall and purchase again, that is how i play in the short term, if you are looking for long term, i would enter bitcoin and nothing else.

The first rule of investment is not to invest everything back, you need to put your savings you made in your local currency and when you see a sure shot project you could invest in those but i would think twice before using my savings because you never know how the market will react in the short term, if there is a major correction i would definitely invest in bitcoin and other top coins, i do not see these small time bumps as correction, if the price of bitcoin reaches below $7k then i will invest my savings.

The problem with DASH is that there is not much merchant adoption like we see with Monero, all of the dark market accepts Monero and i do not think it is going to change anytime soon and there is no signs those markets will be accepting any other anonymous coins. If OP wants to switch over he can consider BCH as it has the potential in the long run.

If you are a hardcore investor it is an ideal situation when the price is down, i wonder how much have you purchased during this correction.  The truth is that the price of bitcoin is really high even though the market right now is on a downward slope, considering the price we had last year it is still a huge valuation.

This is exactly what is happening, some are trying to grab free tokens by entering into other active users, the funny thing is that i complained about the same issue to the campaign manager about fake entries in my profile name, there were five fake entries claiming stakes and instead of striking the fake entries he removed me and kept the fake entry. Hopefully he will rectify that mistake and before distributing everything good campaign manager will recheck everything, especially double entries.

It is really hard to predict the exact time the price would rise but both have are promising along with other top coins in the market, the coin which is getting the best market and merchant adaptation will have a much greater impact, but the long term valuation will be much higher than the current situation.

There is no way it will hurt bitcoin in any way, it is a decentralized open source system and none of the past problems of the creator will haunt the entire system even if there is a problem. Even if he comes back the main advantage would be that he might have a solution for the scaling issues we are facing, if he could create something that is revolutionary he might have a solution for that too.

The main difference between a centralized fiat currency and bitcoin is that, fiat valuation is done by the government and the central bank where as the value of a decentralized coin is agreed by the users, right now it is a speculative coin and we need to use this as a currency to have a wider adaptation.

What rules are you talking about, in every market be it forex or bitcoin the price depends on the demand.

It is not amazing to see the price falling below $5k, it simply means that there is less demand and more coins circulating in the market and people are not willing to purchase the coin, you can call it an opportunity for everyone to purchase the coin, but that is the fact and it does not have any correlation to the next rally.

Investing and holding the coins for the long terms is one thing, but any investor would monitor the market constantly on what the market situation would be, there is no interesting technology that is better than bitcoin right now.

People who started using bitcoin in 2013 also have a lot of coins in their portfolio and nobody here is bragging about it too. I am also not having any plans to sell anything right now.

There might be flaws when it comes to scaling and that is the only hurdle i am seeing now and it will be sorted by implementing the lightning network, the exchange hacks are a major issue and hopefully there will be a solution in the coming years, the only thing you need to look is to store you coins in your private wallet than keeping them in exchanges if you are not trading.

If a government regulates bitcoin then it will be hard to invade tax, with it as long as you convert the coin to your fiat currency, the advantage is that we will have more control about our financials because no government can tax me for the assets stored in bitcoin.

If there is a demand from the customers, then any merchants will start accepting bitcoin or any other altcoin, we had many stores that accepted bitcoin but now the number of stores are really low after the transaction charges went higher last year but even after the activation of segwit and lower fees, i thought the merchants will start accepting it once again, but it looks like we need to wait for a longer period.

It is not always about the first coin in the market, if there is a solution which is better than ETH they will over come and be the market leader, we have more experience in the past when it comes to Yahoo and other major companies, when the best tech and better solution comes, the old one will move out.

If you are talking about fiat based online gambling and crypto based online gambling sites, yes the crypto gambling has exploded after 2014 and it gives users the ability to gamble online without any issue, earlier there was a situation where it will be difficult to fund with fiat currencies because most of the countries block the transfer of funds.
