The thing that came into my mind on the word currency is money. I agree on the illustration you show about the evolution of money but all of those are already and currently use as mode of payment.

You cannot quantify easily the amount of profit you trade with bitcoin because there are many factors on how to compute it. The amount of your investment, the value of bitcoin and the value of the altcoin.

There are many good signature campaigns in bitcointalk, just take time to search. Also study and research the project development team, the project and the campaign manager if there are reliable.

I agree with you. Those are some reasons why we should pay taxes. Some people are angry on paying their taxes because they do not know where their taxes go but some are angry because this is the key for corruption.

This is good news to our bitcoin holders and to other crypto holders. Maybe in a few years from now, it will become number 1. But in terms in value bitcoin is still number 1.

ICO will not die in 2018. There are more innovations in technology and good project development will create that requires funding through ICO that is why ICO will continue.

Yes I agree, when the market falls, you must be calm and be patient. This is the reson why some of the crypto hodlers got losses because they were panic when the value of their cryptos goes down and sell it at a low price.

I agree with you at some point that there is a great opportunity to buy coins now at a low cost but there is still a question, what if the prices goes down continously?  What will you do to your coins? Maybe study first what price will you buy that coins and what price you want to sell or trade it.

I think there is no connection between bitcoin and oil prices. Some other commodities and services that uses petroleum products has an effect on the oil prices but not cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin making the world go crazy because of its value and also it is a good opportunity for investment. People also see the positive advantages and effects of bitcoin in the economy.

It is very difficult to go in trading without capital. What will you have to trade if you had nothing? Unless you go first to join in signature or bounty campaign then afterwards you go trading.

I think your statement only relay or speculates on what is happening on the market because the value of the cryptos are going down. You already concluded that many of the cyptocurrency players were bankcrupt. Maybe they got some losses but not bankcrupt. But in the near future they gain again.

For me money can make you rich if you can manage it properly like make some business or investment. In our world money or assets are the basis in calculating on how richer you are.

Bitcoin doesn't failed as currency. In fact we know that bitcoin is a digital currency and it can be use as a mode of payment for goods and services.

For me this is the best time to buy because the value of altcoins and bitcoins are down then HODL and have patience. Just set your mind in a long term investment. This is done by the old cryptoholders especially the one who hodl the btc.

In this current situation, nobody know what is the value of bitcoin by the end of 2018. If that is his forecast, it is a good news for us as a bitcoin holders. We will just wait and see.

Yes, I do agree that ethereum is the king of ICO because it is the cryptocurrency that most of the ICOs required their investors to invest.

I think your strategy is for short term investment. Best and simplest formula is buy low and sell high. If you want a better profit do it as long term investment but it takes time.

Bitcoin actually developed as a currency, a digital currency. The difference is the other currencies has its physical form like fiat but there are both made as a mode of payment.

That's a good start, you already have bitcoin and other cryptos such as ethereum and xrp. Study and have some research about cryptocurrency and how it works. This forum also helps you a lot about cryptos and how will increase or gain from it.
