Yeah, users are increasing every day, exchanges are getting upgraded everyday due to the level at which users are popping into them and that is one thing to make us certain that this would keep going as fast as we can ever imagine.

The fact remains that things are different from the way they use to be before and people are getting to see the clear picture of how crypto is here to remove those shackles that governments have placed all these while. Always demand alone will decide how fast bitcoin to move. So, in near future we can expect bitcoin to move faster than what we have seen into those in 2017.

Simple as ABC. Anyone who thinks it is very unfair; it is a world where there are huge chances. If you are willing to take the risk those who took earlier when they bought into bitcoin with the high level of uncertainty, there are some alts with such huge risk now that you can buy into and wait maybe 5-8 years to see if it is fair enough for those buying then to buy at the same price you bought it now it or not.

As far as I am concerned now, Christmas shopping is over and anyone who decided not to take the chance at the dip to load up more will only see their hearts being shattered when bitcoin starts a new bull run for the year. It could, it may not and no one knows but the present stage we are now is one to really watch out for because that would determine the next value we are going.

Early this month, we should even go back to test the previous top and that is the exact moment I am really looking forward to and waiting for to start seeing the next way up. For now, we have been rallying and throwing just some little bit of leg up gradually and I can imagine how long or early this is going to end up getting before we start seeing the up.

It is even normal for every new technology to get controversial and most especially when it is disruptive in nature and seems to attack the main system that has been in place and will affect some powerful ones most especially in the banking sector. Also, like you said, a lot of people really do not have a slight idea about bitcoin and they mainly just seem to get the wrong picture.

It depends on what you are doing really so I would not say everything requires a lot of hard work. Signature, bounty and some few little services you can render would not require so much activity from you except few hours of your day and they can really pay a lot.

Nevertheless if you are venturing into stuffs like trading, that is where you will really need some high level of hard work and some great effort to earn some good profit.

You cannot do without both of them, but you need to have the skill first which you can get from using some of the resources online to learn and from there you can gradually build up on it as well as the experience. Experience is usually the best teacher but you should not opt for it first so you can know how to start trading effectively and then from there you will keep getting better.

Skills first and then experience will follow. The only way you can get the best from trading is to learn and with that, you can make the best use of the trading environment to practice some of the things you have learned and as time goes on, you will keep getting some experience and those experience would make you to be a better trader over time.

Yes, I feel what you feel bro. The truth is that these web exchanges cannot really satisfy you which were even the reason I had to just make use of coinigy for most of them. Until we start having some good interface, one may not be able to get the best experience from these trading platforms.

Some are still better than the other, but for now, it seems we just have to stick with the ones we feel can do it ok. Bittrex is not bad as well as binance, but you will have to get use to the platform.

Somehow, and they are still very much risky as well. I understand that we can hardly see such a huge percentage increase on bitcoin compared to altcoin where we have seen more than 5000% increase within a year alone, but who knows, anything can happen that can cause a huge surge for bitcoin and we may end up still seeing the impossible happening.

As long as you know what you are doing, you are sure of your strategies, know when to get in and get out without gambling anything, and then you can really be very sure to get the best of trading. This is still a very profitable environment and there is no way you can have it all for sure, but one thing is that you can make more profit than losses if you learn.

Yes, once you invest in a potential coin, you can be rest assured to get a lot of profit from those coins eventually. There are so many coins with potential and one cannot know the future or how long it would get any of these coins to really grow in value, but with some little patience, there is going to be a huge possibility of achieving a lot on these coins.

One thing we just have to do is to pick a coin that is not really too overhyped already and pick some very good coins, backed with good projects and some very good team and invest in them. If we spread that and come back to them in the long run, you should have seen what you have increased before you even know it. This alone a very good and promising way to start.

What is really so improved in the development of ripple? Read much about it and you will understand why some old folks will never give it a chance for investment unless you just want to do the short term one. Ripple is just a manipulated coin and there is nothing to it than being a centralized banker's coin, so it is best you understand that first and if you still want to go ahead to invest for the long term because the value is increasing, then the choice is all yours.

I believe it would not take much time before we see some pretty huge dips on XRP. I cannot be sure, but it is very likely. I got into it for the short term with the feelings of a pump, but really, I would not bank on it for too long, and except you are looking out to take a quick profit, then you should not even bother yourself holding it. I would rather go for Ethereum and some other promising coins than XRP.

Land and gold has been in existence for a long time and honestly, they are good when it comes to consistent increase in value. However, crypto being new has proven to be an area where there are lots of opportunities as people will keep getting to know more and then possibility of experiencing a huge boom just like we have had in the past with any investment. It is normal but if I were to diversify into other things, commerce would be my thing.

Basically the invention of crypto has really taken people's mind away from stocks and bonds, but they have been some pretty good area of investments for a very long time now. Real estate is good but it requires a whole lot of capital compared to investing in cryptocurrency, but I want to believe that this can be achieved a lot with crypto as time goes on, knowing that what you have would have increased greatly.

Yeah, it is definitely both. Just that for now, the currency aspect of it is not really being made use of and that is pretty bad. I am sure things would change in the long run, and there would be the possibilities of having to make use of crypto as currencies of choice, either the centralized or the decentralized ones. For now, it still serves more like a stock market where you can do basically all things but most especially as an investment.

It can be considered as a form of entertainment for those who really want to end up seeing it as an entertainment. Unfortunately though, not everyone ends up seeing it that way as there are so many people who just want to gamble with the hope of making a whole lot of money in the process, while some got lucky and were able to make the best of their winnings, some did not and that is where their main problem starts.

There is no gambler that will never experience it and will not keep experiencing it. No one can beat the house edge and for those who think they have arrived with a strategy to get a lot of winnings, the streak is one thing they will have to face at the end.

I remembered the time i had 22 long streaks of losses while gambling. That was the day I got to know that it is just a system that would just do whatever it takes to make you lose at the end anyway and unless you are ready to face that, then you should not be gambling.

Yes, patience is all that is needed as the experience would obviously get better in the long run.

Bitcoin is here to stay and I am sure that once everything is resolved with LN, we will start doing very fine and that is when we are going to start making the best use of the network the more and micro transactions would end up pretty fast and what we will just be looking at next is to see the moon and a lot of people who already have an idea how to run a business for themselves even doing it better.

Bounty will even give you more than you can imagine if you decide to hold the little you have than even buying back into bitcoin with it or possibly just sell some part of it, buy back when the value gets low and then watch out until you see the value increasing hugely in the long run. I have earned so much from bounties than even in signature campaigns and for someone to spend 1 year without anything, then they are just simply not serious.

Well, that would be for those who may see it as something that is too expensive to afford but I really do not see that as a negative effect.

Increasing demand is something that is expected in the long run when bitcoin becomes so easy to use as a currency than it just being an asset, but looking at the way things are presently, without the LN being deployed to solve the scaling issue, the lagging network and congestion, will end up making investors to lose interest.

Lol, I can imagine far back as 2011, and that is just the right reply. Now, the Zimbabwean dollar has been scrapped and irrelevant for usage, the economy of the fiat in this country is messed up already and most of the citizens are finding solace in bitcoin, most especially to be able to make transactions internationally since they have been restricted in their country.

We have huge opportunities in the crypto world and for those who have been trading crypto since 2011 will even know better by now that just holding some of these coins, are even better, let alone trading them to earn even more.

I feel anyone who would rather be cashing out now, should rather be doing it for an offline business except there is just a huge dire need to spend the money on something very necessary. I have seen myself cash out some of what I had before and that was because of the necessity to put them into something and looking at all the years of holding most of it, what I cashed out was nothing compared to what I am holding and this is my view on this.
