When market is bearish the best option is to keep more BTC, when it's bullish alts might be a better option.

Crypto and Blockchain are here, they are the future but it doesn't mean BTC won't fail. I think BTC will eventually fail and that will be good for Cryptos in the long run as it will allow a real potential future coin to be developed. BTC has to fail for the next generation coin to be born.

Bitcoin is not dead and will not die anytime soon. Exactly one year ago today, the cryptocurrency market cap was around $150 billion. Currently, it's around $200 billion. While it has been a wild and tumultuous year, that's a 25% increase in one year. And I'd venture to guess that most people holding crypto at the peak were not bought in until mid-year 2017, when it was still over $100 billion market cap. I'd also venture that most people who held way before then are still holding now. Again, most.

Bitcoin was $5,707 this time last year. It's $6,282 now. That's a 10% increase in one year. Most of the people I've spoken to either bought in when it was railroading up in late 2017, thinking it would go up forever, or "bought the dip" early in the year, when the dip kept going and going.

Stop comparing Bitcoin with a bubble. Bitcoin isn't instant and it isn't 100% safe either. I don't consider it a scam though. Bitcoin was not made to be used as an investment, it was made to be used as currency but it is rarely used as a currency these days.

Why isn't it a buble/scam? Because Bitcoin whitepapers don't promise you an ROI and the developers behind it keep working no matter the price goes up or down. It isn't their problem that you use Bitcoin as an investment and you losing money by not doing proper due diligence does not make Bitcoin a buble, neither a scam.

You can not stop bitcoin,as you cannot stop the development of technology.This news are the manupilation.These bad news about bitcoin are the manupilation techniques of large financial firms.They dont want us ''decentralized'' and ''virtualized'' in economic way.
Bitcoin and known alcoins will rise, you can not stop them.

Note : This is not investment advice.

I don't take into account any market predictions and 100% holding a nice leveraged long position currently and ain't selling that soon.

There are other projects out there that have a lot more ROI potential but BTC will spike again very soon.

However, if you want to shoot for 10x or more you need to look for other projects.

Dude, stop asking nonsense questions and guide your finance on answers received on forums. Do you think someone has the crystal globe and knows what will happen in 10 years?

Your coins can worth 100k but they can worth 0$ as well. It depends on how your coins will evolve in the future and how/if the will be adopted for mass usage. Do a lot of research about coins you want to invest and make your own decisions as nobody knows what will happen in 1, 2 or 10 years.

Bitcoin is part of technology and will be part of our lifes in the future, that's for sure. But I don't think it can be considered as the fourth industrial revolution as main purpose of it (being a currency) is not revolutionary, it's just an improvement from old model.

However, Bitcoin's main concern is adoption rate that is still very low. We need to see important improvements here to consider Btc as a real currency.

The altcoin I believe 100% is STR from Staker project. Great team, awesome community, a real product behind with beta Cee Lo Dice platform already released, it has a huge potential to raise well in the future. If you're interested, just have a look to my signature for more info.

I trust Bitcoin will recover and now it's a goot time to accumulate more. I don't spend my crypto, I just stack them. I accept bitcoin and other few other altcoin as forms of payment. Its a long game. I try not to get bogged down in the fluctuation in the market. Not trying to get rich quick with crypto.

Bitcoin is great but the biggest constraint of it is low adoption rate. Just keep in mind that even though you found a use for it, for the rest of the population it's still useless.

I strongly believe in the blockchain technology for the future. Mass adoption is not here yet. By the time it is, crypto will no doubt be usefull for everybody. It's kind of what mass adoption means. I have strong hope for crypto in the future. We are a long ways away my friends.

Au mai ramas mai putin de 30 ore pana la Airdrop 17.

Asigurati-va ca ati parcurs toate regulile de pe canalul Discord (#rules) pentru a fi eligibili.

Mult success!

As any other cryto, nobody knows what the price of a coin will be tomorrow, after ine month or at the end of 2019. If anyone knew this, he/she would be already a millionaire and wouldn't stay on a forum to answer questions, don't you think so?

Do your own research and try to understand how cryto works, what influences the price and stop waiting for stupid answers like: price will go to 50$, 100$ ...

For long term investment you need to take care of some golden rules:
- invest only what you can afford to lose
- make your own research, nobody knows what the price will be tomorrow
- try to avoid ICOs, either invest in known coins, either in non-ICO based projects with good potential.

There are a lot of "if" when we speak about Bitcoin. If government will give the go for Bitcoin to be adopted world wide, the price will raise significantly. This doesn't happen anytime soon as government does not like things that it cannot control and will not approve something before applying a lot of regulation.

However, if price is quite stable during all the negative propaganda against it, Bitcoin proved it is very strong and will survive no matter what.

Everything is possible in crypto. When something is used as an investment and not as a consumption good, the price itself does not matter. Only what the investors think the price in the future will be matters. For example, it does not matter if the current price of stock X is $100 or $100k if people expect it to rise 20% in a year. They'll buy regardless.

Same for Btc, if price will start raising constantly, price could recover and exceed 20k one day.

Staker Cee-Lo-Dice Beta a fost lansat. Balenele cu peste 5k STR pot deja testa platforma. Aceasta va fi disponibila in curand intregii comunitati imediat ce testele vor fi finalizate. Multumim pentru support!
