I think the rumors of bitcoin scams only make bitcoin bigger than ever and more people will know bitcoin. I firmly believe that people who own a lot of bitcoins and buy bitcoins are tech savvy and understand what bitcoin does. Bitcoin is not just a cryptocurrency, it is an asset for you to store your assets against inflation. It's a quality investment, when you look at the bitcoin chart you'll see what I say makes perfect sense.

The ATH of bitcoin is heavily dependent on technical analysis. At present, the world economic situation is under tension due to the covid-19 epidemic and the political and economic situation between the great powers of the US and China is straining. Currently, the cash flow has poured into gold and stocks is quite large. I think there will be a new slump in the economy. Bitcoin will soon reach ATH but will be later this year or next. It's a long process and requires the price action to break out of the chart pattern.

No, we don't want to live in a would that full of scams.
But it's the fact that we need to face. The real world is not far different, strangers always try to scam you in some way.
So my only advise is:"don't trust anyone".

every time, market dump then I read this type of topic
don't fool people, it's their money, their choice.
to be honest, we all don't know if it's gonna dump any further.
I was almost see hell when woke up last morning, and I believe lots of people do.
It's not time to buy. we have to calm down, and wait for the next move, a little late rather than lost everything.

I have to admit that ICOs are most likely to scam people, too easy to create a ICO with open source on github.
as crypto get well-know, more and more scam projects were born to satisfied greedy of people. So by now, I agree with your opinion, rather not to invest.
At first, ICOs was so great, most of good altcoins right now are started from ICOs.

They are both the same purpose, I use CMC more often, but coingecko is useful too. Informations on CMC seem to be more accurate, it's not too fast about listing coins and price. But when listing things done, I think it's more reliable. That's my opinion though.

KYC at the first time was very advanced, solved multiple account problem.
But then, like other trend, it became more popular and then, people start to cheat. Scam projects used KYC too, just to make their plants seem more reliable. Essence is no different, scam is scam. don't trust some kind of that glory thing.

I think it's not too late to realize that fact. I'm thinking about saving bitcoin instead of trading it daily.
compare to other assets like real estate, fiat money or gold, bitcoin doesn't seem stable.
but for long run, I think bitcoin would out-run others by value.

some bounties paid hunters in bitcoin or ETH. but the value is far less than tokens if hunters accept to receive.
but anyway, if some coins want to have any value to community. They must do that, pay hunters in tokens, even if they dump after listed, it's still has good trading volume, and it's easier for investors to buy and sell tokens easily.

As my experience in last 2 year, starting of a altcoins season, big coins would always pump first, then other with potential tech coins, and ending with xrp, this sequence repeat more than 1,
. In my opinion, buy some top coin in dumping time is very likely bring you profit, it just as much as high risk coins. But using partial of your fund to invest in high risk - high return coins is not a bad idea.

To me, I think with altcoins as eth and xrp, they would be fine with built up trust yet, people would still use it anyway because of advantages, but to the others, there are too much altcoins’re being born everyday, they can hardly survive such lots of pressure from others. With that, Ithink the one which have enough money that could succeed, otherwise, there’s no chance.

The problem cryptocurrency’s altcoins is facing now that there are too much of them, investors are too hard to make a choice among them, and such a wide variety of them made money flow too fragmented. And I think that’s the main reason why they’re so hardly to grow faster.
That’s my opinion though.

Tronx is a good coin with high-tech core, fast transaction speed and stand behind is a man with such experienced in crypto, I think he is the name could stand beside with binance founder - CZ.
But after some over-hyped pump in the past, I don’t think trx worth to invest,
To me, I think they just consider trx as a tools to pump and dump, right now, they’re might working on some other coin with other outstanding fixtures. And make another hype. Then pump and dump. This would never end for greedy. As before, trx’s money was flowing to EOS...(making an example)

In my hometown where I'm living, converting is super easy, I just have to find a local dealer, then all the trading stuff will be executed directly between 2 people.
you'll get money right away when he received the bitcoin.
nothing to do with tax and legal paper. most of local dealer can handle every money amount that under 50k$.
I think yours might be the same, get some local dealer, or online but trusted dealer. good luck.

Don't think that's true.
To me, Shatoshi is not relative to bitcoin quite long time ago, since he public and said it's a decentralize currency.
Bitcoin is now controlled by the whole decentralized network. That's the real value, the only thing that made it stand out right the beginning. if he still in control, I don't think people would be happy to know, and no one's using it means the death.

what is this all about?
sarcasm?
it's quite rude anyway.
Anything that go up too fast, will soon corrupt as fast.
and I don't think cryptocurrency is one of them, cause after 90% lose compare ATH, but still some value left, and I think from now on, the real value will go on, continue to define the truth what it be, this kind of tech is really have potential to change the world, or at least, it's application will widely spread.

yep, it's your choice to buy or sell. but in this case, even 5 years of experienced trader (as my main job right now), I can hardly sure what I think about next movement of bitcoin is right. I think market is not just too small, easy to control.
Even I know it has much potential left (that's why now I'm still into this).
But continue this way just make everyone exhausted, and one by one give up.
Hold tight, the best always there, for the one who deserve, last man still believe. sit tight and cut loss, increase amount of coins.

there's always some exception, I think
but it's kind of a rule: you will likely can never get rich if you're not good at anything.
as crypto investors, if don't have any knowledge, so it's no different from gambling.

Bitcoin is both an asset and a medium of exchange with goods.  Consider bitcoin as gold, there are a number of countries where people use gold to exchange goods.  Bitcoin is valid for exchange at the time its rate is set.  Bitcoin is a form of investment asset when someone holds Bitcoin long enough for Bitcoin to increase or decrease in value.  To say that Bitcoin is not a means of exchange is not true.
