The price going up and down is really not a challenge but the thing here is cryptocurrency coming to stay. The latter is something that is really becoming glaring, although it is still a huge risk to take. Most especially for bitcoin, it is growing pretty fast and then I thought one day that if I had really gone in with my savings even like 2 years ago when it was even more risky, then I can imagine what I would be worth now.

Life is all about risk and depending on how ready the person involved is willing to accept such risk, and then leaves the choice in their hands. It could pay them hugely and then it may not. But come to think of it, which do we really think is possible at this stage?

Bitcoin's value is surely unpredictable and there are some things that we may not expect but can end up happening. However, unless people totally lose trust in bitcoin, I doubt if we can see such a scenario playing out before it gets taken back by the stronger hands. We are the ones that have placed that value on it and unless it seems invaluable to us anymore, then why would anyone want to dump ? FUDs can only create very little impact at this stage.

Bro! No one can make this decision for you and you have to understand what you are getting into before even getting into bitcoin. Over the years, Bitcoin have had its good and bad times, so it takes a lot of patience to get the best from it which does not mean it has no future, because we won't all be here if we do not believe in bitcoin changing the way we spend.

Although, knowing this is all your savings and even though it may seem small for some, it is big in your own eyes. My advice is to do what you are sure you are going to be comfortable with at the end considering all the risk involved.

We cannot expect things to remain the way they have always been. Definitely, one can understand that the scaling issue has been dragging for a while but that does not mean it won't be solved. If Amazon decides to accept bitcoin, obviously, it is not like everyone is going to start making use of it immediately.

Purse has somehow integrated Purchase of Amazon items with Bitcoin for a while now and it has been going smoothly even though directly on Amazon will mean on a large scale but if we do not start something, we may just end up being in our comfort zone.

You better watch out because you may be going on the long ride of losing your funds. Most alts have been pumped now and if bitcoin starts another bull run which I am suspecting, then you will end up doing yourself more harm than good. The time you could have unvested when they were all in their dips have passed.

After all these, some are a bit down now though, so you may get lucky, but I hope you really looked at the charts and did not just invest blindly.

Well, he did not really ask where he should move his coin to when bitcoin crashes, he asked the Alt that holds it fiat value when such scenario occurs and he was given the answer. Apparently, if not because of the crisis going on with USDT, it would have actually been the perfect choice, but for now, I would rather stay away and convert directly to fiat than USDT.

Wrong! Some altcoins are controlled such as Tether which has the same value as USD value. It is not affected by the value of BTC in anyway so it is still going to retain its fiat value. However, for most of the coins, we already know what usually happens to them whenever king bitcoin coughs. I may want to be careful with tether these days if you are looking forward to where to put your assets though as the news isn't good so far.

It does nothing better. In fact, it does nothing at all.
As far as I am concerned, some bunch of (whatever name you want to fill in here) are just busy trying to use the fork to increase what they have in their wallets.

It is just nonsense and it is high time we started throwing away this idea of forks back into their faces like the shit they are. They can keep and hold the forked coin for all I care, as it is not just a shitcoin but a scam coin to me.

This would really give waves some pretty big push upward. I am really very hopeful that Waves is a very good coin to hold right now as it is still very much in its low value and in the long run will really give a lot of profit to those who believed in it right from the onset. I so much believe in this project delivering much and for long term, I would gladly say, Yes!

Nothing comes easy and most especially for beginners, they still have a lot of work to do, before they decide to enter the world of trading in the first place. The first being learning can really be of help in allowing them to get started pretty fast while reducing the chances of making wrong decisions and like you said, over time, starting with smaller amounts, they get better with experience.

Asides being a very good trader with the ability to do some good analysis, news, most especially in the crypto world are very necessary as they can help make some pretty good decisions faster. It has helped me over the years and where I learnt my lesson was when I bought into a coin that was being delisted on one exchange and that made me to stop buying any altcoin anyhow without being sure from the news that is Okay to go ahead.

Holding sure have two different aspects to it. While some do the HODL thing, some do the long term holding for profit trading. In the case of the OP, I am sure it is the latter. One thing is that you can never be sure where to sell, but as long as you are making profit, then you do not have to be too greedy.

Unless you are monitoring the charts to be sure it is the best time to drop, then setting a sell order and looking away is the best even if the value goes further because one point in time, it will still come down lower for you to buy for more profit.

No one can really give you all that as feasibility studies will also end up different for every environment or location most especially in setting up. However, in places where there is low cost of electricity, I do not see why this is even needed in the first place when setting up a solar itself is not really that cheap and you have to consider maintenance of the solar panels themselves once in a while.

It would require a very sunny area to get the best from these areas and I am sure you already know what that means as you will need to spend money on cooling systems.

Bitcoin is not a controlled market and obviously we should not expect any official rate. All the above, we have to understand that there are some factors in some of the local exchanges that have made it as such which is what we have in the situation of Zimbabwe and I have tried the arbitrage idea here, but it is not possible as international transactions are prohibited and hence created a high demand for bitcoin.

However, in every other exchange, there is just a little difference most times and unless you are very fast about it, you may end up losing if you want to go the arbitrage way.

The chances are absolutely bleak and there is no point of thinking of something that the likelihood of it happening is very close to zero. Just as you have said, demand and supply is what keeps bitcoin rolling and if supply is less than demand, then the value will drop. However, as long as we have people willing to buy the coin, it will always have a value.

Bitcoin is useful, not just as an asset but for so many things and having a scenario like that playing out to make bitcoin totally worthless, is something I doubt will happen unless there is just no one willing to buy any of it.

There are lots of ICOs and while some have a good project backing it up with a working product, some don't. So, we cannot say all ICOs are scam or they are all legit. They are just a lot of them and while some are poisonous, some aren't so it is in every investor's hand to research on the ICO they are investing so they do not get scammed.

That is just one thing about ICOs and we cannot really say which will end up failing or not. However, some are really not ready to succeed in the first place as the devs absolutely had the mind of coming into the market to scam investors which is why every investor should always stay careful so they do not get robbed of their assets.

The possibilities are huge and while with bitcoin, you cannot really miss those good profits. Most altcoins only get pumped and do not really get sustained as the fall back within few days and take a longer time to get back on track which is one thing we may not really see much in bitcoin and even if bitcoin is going down, alts are falling badly for it and the same thing happens when bitcoin is going back up. The only time we get to see alt doing well is when bitcoin gets stable for a while.

And funny enough, that is how addiction starts. It is a gradual process and it has a way of trying to play with our thoughts, principles, emotions and decision making until we find ourselves totally unable to control those impulse.

Most gambling addicts today if you hear their stories will tell you it all started from trying to recover their losses until they have still not stopped trying to do so till date. Gambling should be considered as a form of entertainment and anyone who cannot see it like that should better just stay away.

That is one great thing to learn in gambling which always help for someone to learn before even gambling. I really hope some wannabe gamblers will be reading this thread now anyway.

If anyone wants to make huge cash on gambling, then it is best they find how to open their own casinos, because being the house is the only way you can be making a whole lot of money. We should just see ourselves as set of people paying these guys to have fun and get our body system hot.

That is one huge point you dropped bro!
Except for consistency though which no one would really want to be consistently losing all the time. You said it all anyway, as long as everyone gambling tend to see gambling as fun, it makes them feel relaxed even when they lose and does not make them over bet more than they plan to while betting only what they can afford to lose.

If luck plays out fine, good, and if it does not, fine. The most important thing is to have the mindset that you can lose all while hoping for winnings. How I see it is that, I am paying for a game to have fun and I can win a whole lot in the process.

It is obviously still needed and until we start seeing real life usage where we can easily make payments at any store without having to convert to fiat, then we might just still have to stay glued on making use of the exchanges to convert to fiat. Sure, a time will come when a lot of things will change most especially with the ways we make use of bitcoin but I would not really want to bother myself much on that so far until when those times come.

Exactly. It is not about luck. No one earn bitcoin by luck, unless maybe someone that played lottery and ended up winning a lump sum of money which if care is not taken, can even vamoose within few days without plans. Knowledge is important and finding the areas where one can best fit in to earn or invest is also important. I have heard on this forum where some people end up clicking on faucets and then trying what they earned on faucets to gamble. That usually makes me laugh!

The problem with most people is that they are not willing to give their time and effort into things and they feel they will just sit in one place doing nothing and life will just come and give to them what they need. If that is the way life works, no one will ever be doing any work at all. The more you work hard and smart, the better you get to the top of the success ladder. No two ways about it.
