Do you sell your house or someone have you knew did it? I think if that happen, the person who sell the house for bitcoin regret his decision by doing so. December is a great month for bitcoin but the end of it become the worst nightmare for many. in investing, they say that the money that you will invest must be your extra cash and not came from a cash that you may need like for a food budget or house mortgage. That is the result of an investment gone wrong. What makes it worst is that your family may cursing you at the moment rather than understanding what you did.

I don't use snapchat either, their stock price is continuously declining as well as facebook due to the recent data scandal. I think twitter is planning or doing something that could follow the steps of those giants. So you people see that those who have hate crypto is getting their karma right after. On the other hand, as those company blocks ico, there is a huge potential that startups will prefer to use bitcointalk to promote their company and service as oppose to those giant advertising company. If one closes a dooor a new door will open somewhere and it is here at the forum.

Honestly I invest in bitcoin at first because it provides a chance to earn extra bucks while preserving my day job. But as I continue to learn the technology I suddenly realize that the bitcoin is not just for earning money, it is a technological change that disrupt online payment. Getting the wallet have even surprise me that in the wallet alone I have a broker and stock market on my hand. What more is buying and selling to the market is an instant without locking you to a 30 or 60 days hold period. One that help me most is the anonimity of bitcoin. You don't need to expose your identify to pay or received someones payment. So by that I realize that I invest in bitcoin to use it and not just to earn for it.

When the price is so high there are no person who worries about the price hike. But when the price dumps, there are lot of people who worries and even start to pull the plug and forget bitcoin. In this time, there are so many issues and news, negative and positive that could move bitcoin price up or down. The most important part of the game is to never quit and stay your hopes high and wait for the perfect moment. Don't worry too much, you should worry if the price goes below thousands. I think even the price is almost half of the all time high, it is still normal.

There are several reasons why countries ban bitcoin. One of the most common is to protect their citizen. We knew that bitcoin and crypto gives a new level of investment, payment method. These advancement took advantage of people who want to perform scams. A certain company will create their own coin, that promise to be the solution to a certain problem. These company will then crown fund but this time using crypto. After gaining some crypto and failing to attain their target the company will then tell its investor that the project wont go thru and the funds can't be return. These scenario put people at rage and complaining to the government. The government on the other hand which lacks rules and laws about it can't do something. So to prevent this sams, government ban crypto before any bad things happened.

I think yes, bitcoin is like a dollar to me. If you have lost interest in it, it is just saying that you don't like money anymore. Since bitcoin is the number one and most widely use crypto, it drive most of the price of other alts. When price of bitcoin drops, alt coins price also drops, but when the price of bitcoin tops, some price of alts also goes up. In terms of altcoin, I have some holding of eth, based on my understanding, eth could be considered as the second in line with the bitcoin.

My friend you are worrying too much about the bitcoin. If you spent those hours reading and answering questions here in the forum, you will feel that bitcoin will never die. As the time goes by there are increasing number of people that is joining the crypto. Even the number of newbie here in this forum is increasing tremendously that they need a new system to filter quality and real poster. I even think of bitcoin will and still be around until to my grand grand children.

In some point I could agree with you by that. There are scenario whee a famous man have give negative statement about bitcoin investment which resulted in a immediate price drop. But all of a sudden, investors under his company do the opposite. Rather than stop investing they grab the opportunity and bought bitcoin while its price is low. What good is that another news came up that reported the scenario. The next day, bitcoin price goes up again. So what basically happen? The same thing that you are thinking. But that is just a little portion of thousand news about bitcoin.

I have just answer a question about bitcoin price continous to drop, and this one is the opposite of it.
Have you browse an article of one expert who says bitcoin could reach a million dollar.
The simple answer is YES. Bitcoin price throughout the time continuous to increase. You can check the price history and overall the price is increasing rather than decreasing. However, there are just time that the price is low and lasted from days to weeks and even months. This last few months I think is one of the longest running low price.

You lost 2M? 2M dollars, yen or what? even thou that is a huge lost, but it is considered a paper loss if you haven't convert your bitcoin into fiat. But in the case you have managed to float or hodl the bitcoins, your investment is still in the safe hands. There are so many prediction that tell bitcoin will soon raise maybe the third or fourth quarter of this year. I even have bitcoin which looses its value due to the recent decline.

I saw on the new that some countries have a plan to make regulations against to the digital currency so that holders and investor of cryptocurrency are not anonymous. When I heard that news, I feel sad. The report also affects the on the movement of the price of all cryptocurrency on the market. But the end I don't see bad having the regulation. I think that law that they build is for the seek of all the user and investor to protect us from some scam or fraud. As long they allow the crypto my country.

There is one answer that is so near it is almost the same meaning but contains some letters that divert from the encryption method.

Its having a gold when others have none. For me having a bitcoin symbolizes that one person is into technology and currency. Being part of the era of bitcoin is such a gift that selected few have understand. In terms of advantages, there are long list advantages, one of such is the freedom of currency regulation. No singular company could impose rules and policy that other have not benefited. another one is anonimity, due to the increasing identity theft one could take advantage of the blockchian.

There are lot of market analysis about bitcoin, there are even thousand of experts that endlessly produce charts and price prediction of bitcoin. What I could advise is that if you just want to invest to earn some money and will ignore how the bitcoin works or will let other do a research for you, you could failed. Some of the people who become successful in this filed do mostly their own assignment. There are trading platform like etorro that let you copy the trading activity of an expert but without certainty that you could always ended up in a positive revenue. 

Why choose if you could do both of them. I never experience both since i am just new about bitcoin but if i have enough money to invest i will certainly do both of them. i am just wondering did all those miner just continue to mine without even selling a portion of their coins? So by that, minners are also engaged in buying and selling bitcoins, they just focus more on selling rather than buying.

What is lost is the owner life but his bitcoin remain alive and could be transfer anytime when the wallet provider knew the sotuation. I think the same process is being done like with the bank. banks usually give notice to people sending mail thru their address stating they need to perform activity to their account or else the bank may possess all the balances on that account. And when the time lapse, the bank take possession of the account and give government a portion of those.

“we cannot please every one, but atleast we have supporter even that is one”. a qoute which i read from a startup company website. Even when bitcoin starts, there are lot of people that knew the potential of it but ignores. When the price hit 5k they start to think to invest. After the price reach 15k, they then invest. after the hollidays their investment squeeze and they start to hate bitcoins. And that experience spread like wild fire thus preventing and even hating to invest in bitcoin.

Just in time, i saw the news about that and twitter eventually blocks all advertisement of ICO or any crypto currency related advertisement. This move followed the decisions of the top one and top two online advertisers. I hope this will not block accounts that have connection with ICO or campaign that uses twitter to disseminate information to the online community. However, even though the two giants block advertising about crypto still accounts with or used to advertise crypto related project was not ban or deactivate.

Sorry if I just respond today.
But still no one get the correct answer.
While some answer seems pretty random, some of the letter were been present in the real answer like the letter M.
Hope this additional clue may solve the puzzle. I have several sponsors lined up...
To those who support this puzzle thread, sponsorship is always open. Thank you.

Long before that I heard bitcoin is use in illegal transaction. If you will remember the silk road the online black market, most of the transaction there were paid thru bitcoin to ensure the anonymity of the buyer. But nowadays there are more people as I observe, that use bitcoin in good deeds. Most of the bitcoin holder including me hoard bitcoin with the hope that it's price will raise someday. There are bitcoin holders stories that pay bitcoin for a food or other necessity, but they regret those days and wished they have used fiat.
