To an extent yes. If Satoshi had been in the know, bitcoin wouldn't be as decentralised as it should. It will look as if it is being controlled by one individual but by being anonymous and allowing the community to take consensus has really helped bitcoin.

The time is right for anyone who is willing to rack up his or her portfolio since most of the coins are currently at their all time low. Once the bull run begins you will be in for quick money.

I'm not familiar with masterminded but with POS you are sure that you will be earning dividends depending on the coin you're investing in. Tho it may be small but overtime it will definitely amount to something.

I think regulating ICOs will go a long way into protecting investors from scam projects. While it's necessary that investors should do their research before investing, you can not always perceive scam projects by merely doing that. Many have perfected the act that it takes a lot more to actually find them out.

The whole point of cryptocurrency being Decentralised has made it difficult or almost impossible to cramp down on scammers since most of them hide under anonymity or use fake identity. Moreover in most jurisdiction there is no laid down rule govering ICOs so basically you can prosecute them.

I'm of the same opinion too. I hate seeing the rest of the cryptocurrency market take a swing each time bitcoin fall or rises. I believe with the introduction of more stable coins and pairing with most of the cryptocurrencies the altcoins will start showing a little resistance to bitcoin's movement.

Awareness is important to the growth of cryptocurrencies. The more people start getting to know about the numerous benefits and why they should consider crypto the more we will see a larger adoption.

I don't trust everything I see on the internet and ICO rating sites are one of them. I'm aware that some of them charge ICO in order to give them a fair rating so I don't see how their rating won't be biased.

Bitcoin independency is evident in the manner it has withstood all the numerous negative attacks it has received. I've lost count of the number of times I've seen something negative about bitcoin but each time it has only come out stronger. It doesn't need anyone/body to defend it, the technology speaks for itself.

I totally agree with you. Many renowned banks have already started looking at ways to incorporate blockchain in their system, they wouldn't want to oppose cryptocurrencies instead they'd want to tap into the huge capital available.

Initially, when the market started plummeting I was investing in more coins thinking the market will soon turn around but it kept getting worse so what I did was to stop and only hodl the coins I already have.

The price of any commodity or good is driven by people through demand and supply. Bitcoin is driven by people who attach value to it in the form of demand.

I think they do considering how much a huge sell off affect the price of a coin. A high sell order will significantly affect the market.

People usually have their minds set where their investment is so it isn't out of context when they experience psychological fear when the market isn't favourable.

Majority of people first of all associate bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as virtual currency before understanding the underlying technology. But u don't blame them entirely since most people are only interested in making profit out of cryptocurrencies.

I'm here as a result of the prospects of cryptocurrency in the years to come and possibly to invest as much as I can.

That's true, many people are still buttered about the market crash since last year and has refused to move on. The truth about investment is that we should be ready to accept any outcome of the Investment.

Bitcoin is king because it was the first cryptocurrency and many people will first hear about Bitcoin before hearing about blockchain and cryptocurrencies. So people are more likely to invest in Bitcoin than in any other altcoin. This is showing in the market cap of bitcoin.

Whether it's possible or not remains to be proven but I do feel that market prices can be controlled either by increasing demand or supply for a product and I believe same can be applied to crypto.

No time is too early. People have different plans and strategies to trading. Even sometimes we may have things to attend to in real life and were left with no option than to sell our coins in other to meet up with the need.
