This is a good analogy when it comes to big rallies in bitcoin yet we are experiencing a big movement in bitcoin price and it is on the verge of touching $9k and i did not expect a turn around in the market situation this early, your analysis is correct as the price usually moves higher after the halving and usually touches the all time high valuation within one year of halving but since this is a new market anything is possible and you cannot exactly predict how the price will move.

It depends on what you end goals are, if you are looking for a good profit in the long term, never book your profit at this stage, just hold to your coins for the next two years and then you will reap your profits, never invest in anything and expect a good return in a short period of time and we all know from past experience how big the rally in bitcoin can take us, so have the patience and hold for the next two years and book your profit when the price is hovering at an all time high valuation.

If a person who is not following the market wants to enter and make a quick profit, then you should not invest in it, you might end up loosing your money rather than earning the profit, you cannot judge others opinion when you are investing your money, so you have to be careful in what you invest, the price of bitcoin is gathered momentum, but that does not mean that the price will rally at the end of this year, anything can happen in this market. If you had the chance to enter at a lower valuation, it is well and good.

People who got stuck buying at an all time high valuation have no other option than to hold for a longer period of time and if they had the patience to hold this long, then there is no point in selling off for smaller profit margin and playing with the market situation as the risk is really high when it comes to bitcoin as you never know when the price will rally, if possible purchasing the coins and averaging out the price is a good idea, other than that keep for the long haul and then sell when the market is on a big rally when it touches another all time high valuation.

It all depends upon how the market will decide according to the investments coming in, there is a lot of manipulation in the market and we all know that and since majority of the countries have no regulation regarding this, these sort of things will happen and we might see a bull run over $100k in the next few years, but the main question you have to ask is, will the market stay above $100k for a long period of time or will it be a bubble ?.

The way in which you describe things looks like it is a deep conspiracy to create a new market like bitcoin, there is no deeper group and outer group and it is not created by any crime syndicate  . Someone created the entire platform and went offline leaving everything to the initial developers who became interested in it during the initial phase after the release of the white paper, Craig has no involvement until he proves other wise and till now he never gave any valid proof regarding that.

A government could make things hard for the bitcoin community if they really want to, if any country ban the use of crypto and come up with rules and regulations, then no one will dare to trade them as the legal problems they will be facing if caught will be really huge, no one will risk their life so that they could trade if the government is against the market. The level of legal issues that can arise include, money laundering, terrorist funding and so on and they could put anyone behind bars for a long time with those cases.
Not sure about the situation in India.

I am not sure which university you graduated to come up with a verdict like this  , never compares ETH the coin without a hard cap and gold with bitcoin and the level of your expertise in comparing apples to oranges is evident with your post and my personal opinion to the OP is the first four words of your user name  . If something is limited how can you ever preach that it is infinite since you view that is the case in your lifetime, it is time to consult a psychiatrists because your brains are tired thinking too much about it  .

I am not sure what you mean by that, i understand that you are requesting everyone to move the coins out of exchanges but how do you put all the coins in the blockchain, what you really mean by that with a high ranking account like yours  . Exchanges are not filled with scammers and if that is the case no one will be using those exchanges, if you have any specific experience, why not start a scam accusation thread against them  .

I do accept this argument as he wanted bitcoin to be a safe and secure optional payment method for the entire world far away from any central authority to control the market but i am not sure whether he was against the banking system as a whole as we need a collaboration of banks too in order to make things work smoothly but he never anticipated this will get this much exposure during the starting phase and he was worried about his safety and hence he might have disappeared.

If they should have tightened their security long back there would not be an incident like this and for them to take the user funds seriously they need to have a huge set back in the form of a hack, something is not right in this situation and why would people trust this exchange when they were not taking care of security earlier, the problem is that there is not much options for users to trade who have the same volume as Binance.

I would like to see your skill level being displayed here too rather than the graph you posted, the market is recovering and everyone can predict that the market will move higher from this situation and more over halving is coming up and from the past experience the market will move higher after every halving and that is what we will see this time too, but since the market is moving higher well before the halving it is a quite interesting to see how the price moves when the bull run starts.

It is a really weird situation to ban users because of their Geo location and i doubt whether it is imposed by sanctions imposed on Iran by other countries and if this is another restriction i wont be surprised but the sad thing is that bitcoin is meant to remove all these restrictions and yet these central service providers are restricting these users because of their location is really pathetic. I am not sure whether they have other options to trade bitcoin but they can relay on P2P based systems or they can built one for the traders.

The idea of bitcoin is to be far from government regulations but that is not the way the government see things, if they see an opportunity to make money they will jump into it, form a legal framework and start collecting tax, it is what they do best and that is what we should expect in the future again there may be countries that might ban the entire market simply because they do not understand the market and how to regulate it but to see a separate body to control is highly likely in the future depending on each country basis.

Never invest in any ICO period how elaborate they could explain about how it solves certain problems unless it is from a well known team with reputation, the wallet and exchange hacks are a thing you have to be aware because your coins are not safe with your not storing it in your own private wallet, so the best thing is to move the coins from exchanges after you are done with your trading and if you can take care and follow those then your investments are safe.

Mark Zuckerberg and facebook are not known for the best of user privacy and i am not sure what they are planning to do with the coin, until there is a working model or a prototype or a white paper regarding the details, i will not trust them in any way possible, what ever coin anyone can come up with, no one can rival bitcoin, all these coins are just replica of bitcoin and just claiming to better, time and market will dictate their fate.

I am not sure how much you have earned through wearing signature of these new projects as majority of them are fake ones and i am not certain whether there are any legit projects anymore, if there is a project with a legit team, they never used to advertise here and even without that they could raise a substantial amount of money. My source is always my job and the investments i made a few years back either in the form of mining or other coins.

Why did it take this much time to come up with an accusation, what was your cloudbet user name and wait for the team to respond for the reason for holding back your account, you have to provide some details regarding that, they will not scam for a single bitcoin as they are in this market for a long time and as far as i know they have sorted every accusation they had.

Good luck with your metrics, i am not sure what fundamentals you are talking about, if you think that the price of bitcoin will drop in the next few days after a strong recovery like this, it is possible that the market might face some sell orders, but it is not a big issue right now, the market will recover eventually by the end of this year, majority of the people who are smart enough to understand the market are in for the long haul.

The market has shown its strength for the past few weeks, but you cannot be sure about how the market will behave, we might see a big correction before the big rally, there is a plenty of time till the next halving and during those period anything could happen in the market, the recovery process was really fast and i felt like the market recovered too fast for my liking, i was having my plans and calculations but the fast recovery halted some of my plans.
