Yeah, but it used to be 99,99% for crime, besides the pizza.

Now it's the other way around.

Articles are stuck in the past.

Definately, It will Rise,

The main problem with Bitcoin is Not reaching Destination fastly,Means taking lot of time for confirmation.

Any body need immediate Work completion, like buying and selling. Some new coins came, very fast comparing BTC

They are NEO,ETH,xRP, N DGB.

and price of transction is very high compare above alt coins.

Second thing is new icos are coming with ETH AND NEO,

last point is New exchanges are coming, allowing trading with their own Fiat currencies.like usd,IDR, ..

then why buying BTC.

This is my own Research.

For a beginner cryptocurrency investor, finding the right resources to track your current investments and identify potential new ones can be an overwhelming task. Being able to discern which sources to trust in the sea of online information is particularly challenging, yet it is crucial to your success as an investor.

Here are 2 of our favorite resources for staying informed with cryptocurrency investing trends:

Steemit
Steemit (www.steemit.com) is a revolutionary social news feed project that resembles Reddit in its voting system, but uses a blog format instead of a forum. It lets users submit articles and get rewarded by the community with the STEEM cryptocurrency, which is a blockchain project like Bitcoin.
It has some interesting categories for cryptocurrency investors that are worth checking out:
General cryptocurrency articles (https://steemit.com/trending/cryptocurrency)
Bitcoin-related articles (https://steemit.com/trending/bitcoin)

CoinMarketCap
CoinMarketCap (coinmarketcap.com) is a must-use. Everyone investing in cryptocurrency will ask at some point: "Ok, so I have Bitcoin, what should my next investment be?" Bitcoin is just the tip of the iceberg. There are over 1000 different types of cryptocurrencies and crypto-assets.
CoinMarketCap groups all of them and ranks them by their “market capitalization.” It monitors the most relevant cryptocurrency exchanges and shows current prices, trading volumes, and gains/losses as a percentage for each cryptocurrency.

It is a simple, yet effective tool for surveying movements in the market, and identifying assets that you would like to learn more about.

It depends on coin or token, I usually hold a coin maximum 4 months I think trading is more profitable than holding. BTC

Yes, Bitcoin will rise again, just as it will also fall again. That is the very nature of new markets. Because of their novelty they are difficult to accurately value. There are many factors that play into the volatility of this market but the fact is that the cryptomarket and blockchain market is here to stay

Buy always when the market is red and sell when it’s green. Follow this rule of thumb.

Bitcoin can never be hacked, no on could ever crack their algorithm….

Only thing that should be feared are exchanges. They are prone to hacks…. Hackers hack the exchanges and steal user private keys….. and then they transfer bitcoins to their own wallet. Bitcoin itself is unhackable. There has never been any incident in the 9 year history of bitcoin that it has been hacked.

New people come in, buy BTC while old money flows out of BTC into alts that have actual use cases (and also chasing pumps). Some of that new money looks around, does some research and realizes how utterly broken BTC is from a utility standpoint and does the same.

This has whats been happening with BTC for a while, I don't see the new money entering fast enough to pump back up what is essentially a failed legacy tech.

On top of that you have the cheaper coin thing, where new people want to hold whole coins - some of these new people will buy LTC, BCH and ETH simply for the fact that they are cheaper.

The key differences are:

BTC is created by miners. XRP is all premined.
BTC has a total supply of 21 mln coins. Ripple has 100 bln premined coins.
BTC takes much longer to complete a transaction. Ripple does it much much faster.

I am pretty sure it will go up, I want to believe it will.

World is getting more and more inovative and I think in near future we will be able to give up cash payments and most money will circulate in cryptocurrencys.

Seeing how far bitcoin went since 2013, makes me believe that this is our near future…

Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency whose coins are collectively worth $137 billion.

Ripple, the third-most valuable cryptocurrency worth $23 billion.

EOS, ranked no. 6 and worth around $5 billion.

NEO, the ninth-largest virtual currency worth just under $4 billion.

Steem, which is tiny by comparison with only around $450 million worth of coins in circulation

If you sell bitcoin thinking you are smarter than the market you will get punished ! Just hold and never sell such precious asset like bitcoin

Fast transactions. Mass market scalability. Account Recovery Options. Able to fix smart contract bugs without a hard fork. Free transactions. Smart Contracts. Free blockchain based cloud storage. Working test net in 1 week. Price is going up. People are talking about it. It is over a billion in market cap. The haters are shutting up. And ohh yeah, i bought it at 50 cents.

Yes. The reason being, Ethereum is just coming into the mainstream there are millions of people yet to discover the power of Ethereum.

They also have to make technology upgrades in the coming year or two. At that point Ethereum can become everything it promises to be.

It is lead by the Ethereum Foundation, which seems like a much more stable and visionary version of the Bitcoin equivalent.

I like the idea of holding Ethereum for 2 years+

If you believe bitcoin is going up in the long term (and you don't need the cash in the short term) and you're right, HODL is the best thing you can do as a regular-joe retail investor.

If you don't, then put your money somewhere else.

Bitcoin will change our mentality about money. It is not enforced, so if it is accumulated by few, then there will be no Bitcoins available, and users will use something else. So the accumulators, will lose money. The same happens with fiat currency, but banks issue currency, every time a loan is given. Because fiat currency is enforced, everybody MUST use it. This is the only difference. Since our mentality for money, changes, voila! the world has been already changed.

Crypto will never DIE even if Bitcoin does.. the day will come when exchanges increase what you can use as a trading pair or buy directly with fiat much like coinbase. Currently bittrex relies heavily on Coinbase but they plan on adding more coins. In order to survive, bittrex will have to become like Coinbase. It's just a matter of time.. sooner than later hopefully

For beginners

Study the market before even you put a single penny….just because it has all this hype and has growth manyfold in months doesn't mean it will keep continuing

See on what are different aspects that makes a cryptocurrencies like miners, hash rates that are provided , technology used, backing , backin research on every aspect of the currency.

Can the government shut down the Internet. NO so I highly doubt the government can stop bitcoin. The government can not stop the dark net. Why would anyone think the government can stop bitcoin. As long as the internet is working Bitcoin BTC  will be around
