The funny thing is that whatever they are doing in their own country to cause a problem for the users of bitcoin would really end up improving the bitcoin network at the end. If they want to lay a huge hold on the mining hash power, then that to me is a good call for them, and at least mining power will shift from China and probably get spread as that has become so absurd.

China has a communism and socialism environment, so I am not surprised and really just like OP said, I just cannot wait for them to get thrown out of the crypto community to at least give us some room to breathe.

May be if they even tag down on the miners by making life difficult for them, probably that would give some of use a chance to venture into mining as ASIC would rather go cheap and probably reduce the difficulty a little bit.

I would not say buying at this price will be a loss, and as long as the OP may want to hold, this is still a good time to buy.

Unless he is sure to monitor the charts to find a breakout and quickly buy in either breaking out to the upper trend or the lower one, then he can just leverage on that, but as long as he cannot, then it is better for him to just buy now than thinking of the losses, which apparently I am sure most people like him thought that made them to miss the chance to buy when it went less than $12,000.

Do not worry bro; there is no need to complain about the value for now. The same way it started last year from about $800 and got to $19000 plus before a dip correction, is the same way you should see it now. Anyone who is allowing that to create fear in their minds is not ready to invest. Bitcoin will still increase but that does not mean we will not keep seeing all these ups and downs even as we move ahead, but for now you should see the present double bottom as a strong base until otherwise.

As long as you are holding, it is always best to look for a wallet where you have full control, which you cannot get in a centralized exchange wallet. I have always preferred just holding a hardware wallet and then with that, I am rest assured that I have full access to all my funds and no exchange will wake up one day and decide to lock me out of my account or close down without any notice.

We would not really need a soothsayer to tell us this that keeping your assets in a wallet is the most risky thing to ever do. It is best when you have the private keys to the wallet we are using as that makes it easy to have full control over our funds than when something ends up happening to an exchange and then we may see ourselves losing virtually all the funds that we have.

The feedback is very good and I have been thinking of switching some of my trades to binance as well now. Nevertheless, we should all remember that bittrex was the good one in 2017 until they messed up, so it is best to put that into consideration while using any exchange for now.

Any policy, rule or whatsoever can be changed and as long as you do not have full control of your funds, try to stay secured and act based on your own fund security and your best interest.

Altcoins are really going to be having a good time this year as well as bitcoin. For altcoins though, a lot of new investors who missed the huge one last year may see altcoins as the closest investment that would help them to realize the little that they ended up missing from bitcoin.

The end of last year, we already saw the huge percentage increase in some of the alts, and I am sure this year would even bring more but we cannot ignore that those rise is just due to big appreciations of bitcoins and without bitcoin hype altcoins would not have achieved any height for sure.

The chances are so huge and obvious with what we saw last year 2017. I am so hopeful to see what this year holds and how the predictions of some people who have always imagined bitcoin to grow hugely would possibly come to past. However, recognition around the world is already in play and we just have to keep seeing more and more people stepping into the crypto world to have a real taste of the system.

Still, I am sure it would be recognized by most people who have access to the internet and information about bitcoin and who really understand how everything about bitcoin works, but I would not say it is going to really be recognized by everyone around the world. The adoption is going to be a huge one in this year and coming years and the percentage of population that would adopt is even good enough to see bitcoin at the top.

Probably the token sale was meant to develop the platform the more so as to get the best experience for those who may want to be trading on the platform.

The security is necessary and we all know that security is lapsing, but I would not mind having their token anyway as that seems to give me a stake on the project which I am sure a lot of people would not mind anyway. There is already a product and it has been able to gain good ground, so I would not mind investing at all.

Yeah, there are so many alts with low market caps but good project and good team that are undervalued. Those should be your target.

All of them may not do fine immediately and some that has been pumped already will take some fall, but there are some that are pretty much undervalued right now that in the next few months or years, you should be smiling to the your wallet. Alts with prospect and low market cap should definitely do the trick as they have much chance of increasing pretty well in the future.

However, do not just pick any coin to invest; you should understand the area you are trying to invest so you do not end up bag holding a shit coin. Just find good coins, top 100 can also do it anyway, but there are even lesser ones with lower market caps that would give you what you are looking for as well.

Yeah, and I do not see why they would want to pick XRP when they would probably looking at the point of having the high stakes in the market of the crypto they choose to develop and have the ability to manipulate it however they want.
XRP may be going up in value right now, but that does not totally mean the banks have fully accepted it as a cryptocurrency to use when like you said, they have everything to develop afresh.

Another reason for visiting a new casino is that new casino mostly offer some bonus and people are just too curious for bonuses even though sometimes the terms of bonus is such that it's almost a scam. I have earlier played at bitcasino and actually they scammed in one way, I did not knew that we need to wager 5 million times and each time we wager 1% is counted so actually my initial deposit also got stuck and ultimately lost.

I agree to that, additionally you can use the games and round section to create various contests and hence attract more gamblers. I remember when bitsler started it was no so popular and actually used to give too many bonuses and that's how they got so popular that today they stand with primedice and one of the biggest gambling site.

I can guarantee that the bid will go a lot higher as time elapse and yes advertising with the forum is one of the best idea since you get millions of views with that but I think if your budget is lower and you are looking for the best use of that advertising budget you should look to start a signature campaign and you don't need to pay very high initially, as you grow you can increase more slots and increase the pay rates.

Right, it was meant to really be a currency that each person can start using and free us from the way we spend or the slavery the fiat system and the banks have placed us. However, a lot has changed and now people no longer see crypto as a currency but instead as a speculative asset which they can hold for long and have a huge return on it as an investment instead.

Most especially for bitcoin, and this is not really good as far as I am concerned as this is the main reason that should drive the value up, which is being a currency.

Real estate has been my major target as well as Oil and Gas. These are pretty much capital intensive areas but it is like an area where the flow of money is always huge once you invest in them.

I expect that with the effort, and the long run holding with profit from cryptocurrencies, this is something I may end up being able to achieve while diversifying into them as well. I have seen a lot of people make huge money in these areas, but who knows how the boom for crypto is going to be anyway.

Organization ? I would not consider bitcoin as an organization, even though we know there are whales who have all the resources available to get the price somewhat manipulated and most of them cashing out or organizing the high level of cash out apparently caused the huge drop in price.

Okay! I see why you called it an organization now. Those who are smart enough would buy now as pretty soon and with this current sideways movement, we may be experiencing a breakout in the next few days.

The present growth was drastic and the dip is just normal and expected. This has shown some level of health for bitcoin so far and as we go further, it proves there would be more chance for it to grow more than this. Bitcoin still have a lot of room for improvement and those improvements most especially in its protocol regarding scaling issue and that would be a nice ride to the moon for it.

Yeah, the market may be experiencing some downtrends now, most especially for bitcoin, but it is nothing that is usually not expected anyway, so we can imagine it to be something that is normal for the market.

Stabilization has been on now for some days and with the huge testing of ATHs within few days and on, it was very much expected and it is really good now that we eventually found a bottom and that shows some strength and health now.

This is just the perfect strategy anyone can ever do. I have known one thing about alts, and that is the fact that a time would always come when they will really have some huge dips and while I could have missed some interesting ones I wait for those right moment to get into some of them.

This pays a lot and knowing that this simply means more like building a future for you. Not all of them would grow at the same pace, but they will surely all do well.

I even love the little sideways we have been having so far and the trend at least for now will allow us to accumulate as much as we can as we keep going further around next year.

We cannot say there are no chances though, because we have really had some pretty good surprises, but for now, I would rather just chill and enjoy the moment until we start another journey soon. As per some technical analysis and traders psychology, we are still going to keep seeing the sideways for now until January, as there are still a lot of sideways resistance right now.

However, we cannot say exactly when we will start testing another top, but at least we have some sanity for now and that is good enough, moving to the next phase of bitcoin as we go on the journey to the moon in coming years.

This is what people really want but the truth is that is not feasible right now and it is becoming more difficult in making transaction and that is gradually drifting bitcoin towards being a speculative asset. I am not sure if that is good enough but I am sure being a currency would really make it more interesting and will make it grow even faster in value than we have now.

Even with this value, there is nothing one can really pin point to be driving the value up except for speculations and FOMOs which is making it more like a bubble which it should not be. Once the scaling issue is solved, that would make it more appealing to use and would drive up the value even more and even get bitcoin better to the mainstream, but for now, that is just not something that seems possible.
