Normally, the best time to never miss buying is usually the dips and nothing as sound and good as that because with patience and in the long run, you will still be enjoying the benefits anyway. A lot of people do not take serious and rather panic is when they see the market going down as they certainly wave their minds off the opportunities that comes with a down market rather than taking advantage of it. As long as you can be patient enough, buy when everyone is scared and sell when everyone is going crazy, you will always be able to make the best out of your investment. Bitcoin may hit main stream of adoption within a decade then people may cry for not adopting it, that is the only reason I am firmly holding my bitcoins and watching its fluctuation and when hitting main stream it may fulfill everything we do need.

Don't forget that Japan is accepting and regulating it. Now, this is not to say that Asia is the home of bitcoin holders with higher percentage, as no one can certainly know that, and for what it is worth, we do not even know where Satoshi is from and that could be any name anyone can decide to put up for himself.

Judging from the post history of Satoshi, he sure sounds sometimes, British in his conversations, sometimes American and it makes me wonder if Satoshi was ever one single person. Well, that remains a mystery forever and knowing the most bitcoin holder is also a mystery.

Gambling is something that is always finding a way to halt the control of someone over himself which is believed to be in the same category when it comes to drugs and alcohols, but in this case we are talking about a psychological addiction rather than a physical addiction.

Governments today try as much as possible to create awareness to the issues that arrives with gambling but most of it is always centered on the fact that people will just not want to stop being greedy and they let that affect their emotions as they look for things they should not be looking for in gambling.

The losing aspect is just a part of the whole gambling, however most of the stories here simply showed that those who ended up becoming so addicted to gambling chose that fate for themselves, by putting so much expectation with respect to winning in gambling.

It is either you win or lose, which in most cases you are always more susceptible to lose than win, and I wonder why people tend not to be able to fine tune their mind to that aspect and not get themselves engrossed in their gamble. I guess this discussion has already enlighten many people here on how to safe-play with gambling. These are not just stories here but a lesson from real scenarios hence remember theses will help at right times.

Every investment surely comes with a risk and understanding the risk involved is always important. Although this is long time trend but I am sure a lot of people still get to ask themselves this questions when they have certain amount of money to invest into the market. It is simply about knowing when to buy which most of the time; people should always focus on buying the dips and then also knowing what you are buying into so you do not end up putting funds in shit coins. As long as this is out, then everything left is to be patient.

The whole alt market is really giving some pretty good push and I would say this is something that is worth looking forward to at this moment. A lot of the altcoins so far has shown some pretty great level of bullish divergence, and it is just about time they started showing some good volume on break out which we are gradually beginning to see across board. I believe next week and next month should actually be some good bullish period. Let's see though how things would turn out.

That bad condition is also an opportunity as far as I am concerned for those who have been looking for a good market they want to get into before the market eventually recovers, because markets are usually bound to recover at any point when demand starts kicking in for it.

You have actually suggested some good coins, but I would advise that anyone who wants to invest should always take some time to understand the place they are putting their money into, understand the product that makes the project tick, check out the team, and at least be sure you are investing in a good project and not just some shit coin.

I really love that analogy used by mummybtc. ICOs are simply more like a car and the team being the driver of the project, and you sure certainly do not want to be involved in a team that apparently does not look like one that can deliver and is just there to get you burned.

Investing is a huge ball game and it takes being careful and the ability to use knowledge and information to discern where you want to be putting your money or not. It is as simple as that. No team, no MVP, no vision, then there is no investment opportunity in front of us and hence we must move on to analyze the next available project. We must have multiple rounds of iteration so that we can filter out what we actually look for. Time is money we must need both time and money to multiply our wealth into another level of being wealthy.

I have always wondered why people tend to quote OPs at times, when they are indeed replying to the posts anyway and they could have replied without that. Nevertheless, that is by the way!

In a market, I have always observed that you cannot always use the past to judge what would happen in the future and for that reason, how a market would be is determined by the current factors and even if it turns out to be the same, I would only classify it as a coincidence and nothing more and i totally agree with you that the altcoin market is too premature to have a cycle.

At this stage, it is gradually getting obvious that the bulls are really trying to take hold of the market even if it is going to be a short term movement, but it is really worth the shot. A lot of the altcoins are really beginning to make some pretty good move at the moment and for what it is worth, I would not be surprised to see a lot of green days in the coming week.

Anyone still waiting for $200 bitcoin can be my guest and keep waiting till they grow grey hairs. By 2015 January, bitcoin prices hit low up to $170 due to mtgox collapse news. Now, even a major exchange's hacking or anything similar to that will not impact bitcoin market that worst as now a days we are having multiple choices for every bitcoin related services and needs hence any low will never be possible.

Well, it is still a very big IF. I have been seeing some actions lately from the bulls though and I am really trying to see how this would end and maybe with some very great news, we might see the market get back into some state of excitement and like you said, I would not be surprised to see some good movement. However, at the same time, I do not expect so much considering the fact that there is still a lot of resistance to break within this period and seeing a $25k absolutely means the market trying to print a new ATH, and from where I stand I do not see how possible that might be, and the chances are so slim, but not like it cannot happen.

There will always be a fluctuation in any market.
Depending on the definition of stability for some, even Forex market is not stable; otherwise no one will be trading Forex.

If we are to refer to the volatility, sure we can say the market is still very volatile since it is in its infancy stage and very speculative in nature, and we can only up that with a huge level of adoption and usage, we might be able to attain some equilibrium level which even at that, it would only result to less volatility than what we have now, but does not necessarily make it stable.

It is weird that a sector all by itself could be 3.1 trillion and still run the world.

Comparatively speaking crypto has hit 1 trillion mark during December if I am not wrong, that means with a little bit more push we could be as big as "manufactured in china" levels and lets be honest that is huge.

Blockchain can help manufacturing a bit but manufacturing consists of software that can use blockchain and manual labor as well with some other stuff all of which can't be blockchained at all, so blockchain can help a bit but it is a big beyond its capacity to help. There are some stuff that could be improved but not in a major way.

Based on the last statement, certainly gold will not be available to everybody, but in this case, crypto is going to be available to everyone and for that reason we might see citizens of countries trying to utilize this space as a safety net for them so as not to get burned by a crisis.

With this kind of thing, I want to believe that even when the countries will be back from recession, if it will ever happen, people would have gotten accustomed to the usage of crypto as a currency and then the control it gives them, and will make it less appealing to even want to go back into fiat.

What you are not adding to this is the fact that the government themselves are the corrupt ones for most especially the underdeveloped countries. As long as this is in play and their corruption still persists, they will always find a way to jeopardize the effort of anything that is going to disrupt the way they have been doing things over the years and in that case, we both know how things will turn out. It depends on a government that is really ready to work and leave some legacy, but for now, it is hard to find them.

Moreover, it might seems so easy to say that government will tend to find a way to adopt blockchain technology in the long run, but we also have to understand that corruption has dug so deep in some parts of the world, that things that are supposed to be provided for the citizens are not there and that makes them a whole less enlightening. As long as there is someone in the position of power siphoning and looting all the funds, I doubt in such scenario that would be any possible adoption as well.

It is actually very fascinating and funny. The rate at which people talk about manipulations these days as if there trade totally depends on it, you would think no one else who is a successful and knowledgeable trader is not making shit loads of money from the market fluctuation. They are ignorant of what they do, but they certainly want to blame their mistakes on something.

People think it is just about reading few things about trading and then hitting the trading platform to start trading, it takes a whole lot of practice and until they realize that before they can start making anything substantial and see for themselves that market movements are just normal, you only have to know how to play your card well.

There is certainly no harm, but there is a huge harm in joining just following basically what is being posted by someone if you do not have the knowledge to be able to make decisions yourself. I know a lot of people always want the easy way out but in reality there is no easy way out and the only thing you can do is to find a way to learn, make sure you have the great knowledge to make a decision that even if you have to follow some channel for calls, you can know if it is a suitable one or not and what to do in case anything goes wrong.

I am trading almost everyday but not opening and closing same position within a day lol. Kidding apart, day trading is not a way to trade cryptos whereas positional way of trading like holding and then booking profit is the only way I do experience here in this crypto world.

Well, that is one, but do not forget that you can also do leverage trading on some platforms for crypto as well. Nevertheless, cryptocurrency gives room for normal type of investment compared to the whole of Forex, where the leverage trading is paramount. There is no trading however that is not risky since there will always be fluctuations and you will require knowledge to do it right.

The differences here is just that with leverage trading, you can completely get liquidated and lose everything where as in normal trading, you can be patient and hold as long as you are not selling for loss.

I want to believe we are gradually seeing the adoption of the blockchain technology in a lot of businesses gradually and even though it is minute at the moment, it is still a big start. At least, like someone rightly said, this would bring about some level of transparency when we are talking about partnerships within the business and the need to always do things right.

However, every of these things we are saying is all still on the whole team behind the business, how ready they are willing to work, how effective they want to make their business solve a problem and bring a solution to the world and how they can integrate the blockchain technology in achieving all of that.

If you are very smart, then you will know gambling is a big No when it comes to you trying to increase your profit potential and in this case, you can actually end up losing everything. I am sure those who saw gambling of a way to make profit would have learned their lessons at the end to be able to testify to that.

Trading and campaigns still remain one of the easiest ways with campaign being the easiest as long as you have the resources to do your thing, while trading requires you to learn a great deal, otherwise you may end up losing if you end up trading without any strategy at all.

Well, the crazy aspect here is that a lot of people cannot believe in their own opinion as they have no single knowledge of the market they are investing in the first place. You can only believe in your opinion when you even have a belief in the first place. Quite a huge number of newbie investors are here to get rich fast and with this they can easily be swayed and deceived by anything. People certainly will analyze the market and I would not see them as trolls, it is only when you analyze with no base or unreasonable about your analysis, that I will say it turns to be bullshit.
