Anyone that is even expecting something like that too soon is obviously not serious and is asking for too much. The moon is what no one should be expecting at this stage as we will still get to see some series of ups and downs and probably some level of consolidation before we can even start considering mooning up to go test the previous ATH. The good thing is we may get past it and the basic thing is we may come back down; however, the thing here is that the future is still great.

More than just $10k ? That is your definition of hitting moon ? Probably a short term target for most people here. But, what I always suggest to all the people I do meet and discuss about bitcoin is, keep holding until bitcoin hit million dollar levels. Their next question most of the time is, when it will hit that levels but I do answer them only a smile and nod.

Well, the institutional investors will make the world to believe what they want to believe and most especially their followers. First, they believed, and that does not make the statement affirmative. Secondly, anything can change and which they will always know what to do at any point in time which as far as I am concerned, they are some caucus anyway.

All the above, looking at the behavior of the market and the weekly chart, we can see that the market is actually showing some long term signal of growth after breaking out from the downtrend, let's just hope the market does not come with any more surprises that tends otherwise.

Yeah, most especially in this day and age that almost everyone is trying to get rich as quick as possible in their own best way. It is important to always be careful and this is a resource that can actually be helpful for those who are basically looking for mentors as well in their future investment. As long as you can also do some digging on your own to add up to what you are getting, I believe everyone in that category should always be fine.

Cryptoinfluence is actually a very good tool for the newbies who may be looking for influencers in the community and can even direct them to the right spot on who to follow and listen to and who not to follow as the case may be. However, it is still very important that people should learn not to just follow everyone just like that but at least be able to do some analysis on their own so as to get a lot of benefit as well in this crypto world with based on their own decisions but this is really a nice one and thanks for sharing.

By stability I want to assume you are referring to well established. Actually this is something we will get to see with bitcoin being regulated in most places, Still we cannot have one single global regulation as each country will definitely come up with their own form of regulation and how they wish to go about it and some others will just be silent on it as it is already. Whichever way though, regulation by some of those in the top developed countries will bring trust and maturity into the system.

First, bitcoin is not being regulated everywhere as you have said. I believe there are so many countries that are actually not officially regulating it yet while just few are. Comparing the number of those who have just been silent on the whole thing, I believe they are more than those who are even condemning it. The thing with regulation for sure is that it would bring in new level of growth as we get to see more potential investors coming in.

ICO and trading are actually the best things to do in this case but with that amount of money, trading would actually be the best bet. However, there is no further investment that does not come with risk but this is where knowledge is always going to be needed to be able to not let that huge risk get a huge hand of you.

Most people make the mistake of losing their money because they are always too lazy to study and you cannot invest in both of these without at least studying to get some skills to be able to avert some unwanted risks.

Altcoins have a way to at least serve their own purpose anyway which is buy in the dip during accumulation which they usually reach the bottom most of the time and sell into FOMO to increase your bitcoin and that is all they are ever good for.

I am sure altcoin fans will not like that, but I have only gotten to see few altcoins that are actually sustainable in growth without the to and fro bottom to top movement. I really do not see altcoins as investments, probably for the short term profits which they are anyway. For so many reasons, I would rather choose only bitcoin and use alts as a way to increase the bitcoin that I have in the long run.

I am not against altcoins as some of them may actually have a good demand in the future based on the project that they may have, so, in that case, just to at least get some pretty good profits, I may go into some of them but just very few. Altcoins are risky and trying to diversify into more risky environment really does not sound right. For long term investment except if the OP is willing to trade some of his altcoins along the line, I would rather stick my head with bitcoin.

Mostly we cannot even consider the risk now to those who started investing in early days of cryptocurrency which to me even looked more risky. Moreover, life is that it is better to try than to regret not trying at all which by then it may have been too late.

Anyone who is investing in cryptocurrency should have been able to understand the risk to know that as long as you are investing here, the risk is just the volatility but it has been there for a long time but the future is all that counts and if you want to manage it effectively, trading should be the best option which you have to learn.

I would even say a lot of robots are just there driving the price and squeezing out all marginal traders in both short and long positions. The little correction should help us determine a support for now which if we get to find, we should go back to test $9700 and likely break it. Nothing much is really driving this market based on demand and I thought by now, we should possibly be in the consolidation phase. But as it is, the market is always going to be full of surprises in coming weeks. Hence reaching $12K-$15K will not be a big problem like how bitcoin has done in last year.

It is never accurate as far as I am also concerned. The thing is there are some news that can actually spring up some reaction in the market, but really I just see as the whales and traders reacting to it and most of the time, the sentiments around may actually not go in hand with the movements on the chart which has made me to believe that no one can actually use news to judge the market movement unless we sure believe it is something that is worth listening to. Most investors are not actually stupid anyway.

Does anyone really care about news anymore? It is glaring that news are just some ways to make some gullible people get themselves screwed into missing out from the future in the long run. MIT technology reviewing how they can destroy bitcoin is actually absurd and I wonder why anyone would want to pay attention to such news. The market react based on how it wants to react at every present moment based on most especially how the whales and traders want to do their thing.

Not even educating yourself will make you jeopardize your earning and it is good that a lot of people have emphasized on this. However, I would like to add, that it is one thing to educate yourself and it is another thing not to rush into it even with that knowledge you have gained.

It is always necessary to give some time into practicing as well with a little bit and then this would give you some confidence. There is a reason why in schools and institutions, you have to pass through one level to get to the other, never jump a phase just because you want to quickly start making money.

I can remember vividly that so many people in 2009/10 really just invested a tiny little amount they can at least say if things end up going wrong but I believed in this technology, I believe it would work and if it does not, at least I know that I tried and they were able to factor in that risk into their investment.

$1 of investment in 2009 would have been nothing and imagine what that would have been now. I guess people are not just getting the real picture and some keep taking the idea even in the wrong way.

That is really how everyone should be investing in this market, most especially when you are looking at the long term benefit. Invest what you would not worry about and come back few years later to check how your investments have been doing over the years.

This is the only way to stay in this game without bothering yourself about every little move in the market as long as you understand the benefit you stand to gain in the future. I remember buying few ETH last year at around $8. Just last year, come on! While some people are crying about the market going way low to $400, you are imagining how much you have gained even with the dip.

The first statement really made my day but adding the second sentence just spoiled my day immediately.
Positive thinking is good generally in life and it is not an offense in thinking positively in gambling as long as you are not allowing that positive thinking to get you out of reality.

Gambling is gambling and as far as I am concerned, you will always have more chances of losing than winning. Sure, have your thinking to be positive, but at the same time, always discipline yourself to know when to discard the positive thinking and know when it is not just your day.

You guys are even checking how much you have lost in gambling. I must say at some point I actually lost count not because I did not know what I was doing but because I stopped taking gambling seriously.

I started well though, and I can remember that I started gambling with about 0.4btc which was really worth nothing that much back then which I was able to luckily increase to about 0.76btc and I really wish I just kept that in my wallet and stopped gambling but you know how the story all ends. I only ended up dashing out more at the end.

I believe that is just a way certain people always console themselves, by thinking they can just keep gambling their way through out life. Basically it is a human nature like for engaging into something unnecessary, they all need some reasons. By consoling themselves, they are actually cheating them themselves. Yes, nothing more than that.

You are certainly right as gambling should never be perceived to be part of life, and it is a life that each and every one who gambles has decided to choose and few people are always there trying to control this nature so it does not get out of hand while a lot of people always end up screwing up badly.

Yes, gambling is a choice as far as I am too concerned but a part or way of life is a big NO !

You call that flying to the moon ?
That is just a piece of cake compared to how the market can react once there is a sell off as well. I know we have tested some pretty good point and broken past resistance that we all would not have expected but I really do not see how we can start calling the moon now when we the market has not even decided which way yet.

Hopefully we will be lucky if we get to the previous ATH this year and before we may start seeing new ATHs, I may say probably next year.

Always hard to predict what will ever happen but fundamentally, things are actually looking pretty good for the general market. I believe we will get to see the altcoin market make the move first before we will get to see bitcoin making any move. I want to also believe we will not get to see some strange things that would come spoil the fun. It is about time we started seeing some action in the market after the long period of market decline anyway. Marketcap is an attractive thing which induce most investors to come forward to invest with. Even marketcap is not doing anything with real time applications, many people still consider it as a big factor to compare markets to choose the best investment opportunity.

Yeah, I really do not see this happening next week either. The thing is that a lot of people always expect that these things will just happen in a matter of days. The market needs a lot of time and from the look of things, we are correcting from the last run before we go test the $11k and I see that taking up to mid-May before we can even get to see anything serious.

I also like the sanity in the market right now honestly, as there is no congestion, transactions are pretty fast, and the market is taking its time and so on. Bull run is just not my thing but no one can stop it if it comes.

I guess they will never stop as long as this space is concerned. Apparently, they would not want to see it that way and just the same way we have good people, we will always have bad people and this is the way the world works. However, it is really something that anyone who wants to be in the digital world should try as much as possible to get used to considering that the only way to be safe is to know how to be safe yourself.

I would always recommend using Metamask in any occasion to login to MEW or at least using a hardware wallet which guarantees more safety.

Whoever wants to be following the market every time of the day without sleeping will actually need to tell me how they are really going about it ? The market is full of a lot of potentials and this is one of them, but it is better to always find a way to adapt since trading obviously will need someone with the right sense of mind and not sleeping because the market is not sleeping is actually not a good thing for anyone.

I have noticed though that sometime even when I am sleeping, I am still dreaming the market as my mind is on my holdings. I guess that is the way the market is going to keep playing with our minds until we finally get used to it.
