I would not say the reason why fiat is more tangible is because you can see it with your own eyes. It has always been the traditional means of payment for a very long time and just very few people know about bitcoin which is why I agree with you that bitcoin still has a lot of room to grow and develop.

Bitcoin is very useful and also not easy to just come by most especially these days and it is normal because assets too are always like that and the early adopters are always the ones to reap most of the benefits. So, I would rather say, time will tell, because right now, everything is evolving.

I feel your plight and it is normal. However, looking as far back as 2009 and not judging with the present, I would not say what the president has said is untrue as so many people have gotten some stability financially whether we like it or not.

If we are to look at the volatility, we should also understand that bitcoin is decentralized and we are the ones who make this huge volatility what it is. However, you cannot compare the volatility years back to what we even have presently as the community keeps get strengthening which I feel is a plus and would even reduce the more as most countries starts showing their interest.

Once the token is listed, the first thing you need to do is to use coinmarketcap to find out the exchanges the token has been listed and then send them there. There is nothing like best exchanger so far in the token market, you just have to find the best option available to do your trade on.

Usually, most of them normally make use of EtherDelta, but I will advise you to find out how it works first so that you can know all you need to do before trying to do anything.

That sounds worrisome though but I do not see how that would really happen. You are right by saying it is a joke and nothing more than a joke which would get so interesting even very soon when a huge dump starts. It is obvious this has been just a one way manipulation and I am not sure who he is really trying to deceive here. Users, traders ?

It is a huge pump that is just being used to manipulate the market, and this would really show how much of a shit BCH is at the long run.

You got 10 BTC through graduate loan and you ended up throwing everything into thin air.
As much as I really want to believe this, I am still finding it hard to. There is no way someone will just opt into trading with that kind of money without finding out first all that is needed to know about trading and if you actually did, I am not sure the name I can give you right now.

From 10 BTC to free airdrops ?
Since all your coins crashed, there is no need selling them back and at least it is not like you have lost all, just hold on and be patient, they may get pumped back except of course you are now a bagholder of shitcoins.

Even if miners want to support a particular chain and the users do not want it, then I guess they will just have to switch back at some point to the most profitable one. Every miner is there for the profit and then we cannot just decide to give them and some bitcoin companies the control to dictate for us. Bitcoin legacy will still over rule as far as I am concerned and by then, all these bullshit forked coins would just be trying to find a means to survive.

Rather than support and demand, I guess the fantasy is all the thing which is doing the magic of making bitcoin prices into new heights. But it is just a initial trigger, later only demand finalize the price levels.

This is obviously what anyone would really want to do at this moment. The ALTs including Ethereum has really been is some pretty bad shape for a while now and it is just best to stick with BTC for now until maybe the whole fork situation dies down. Although, for those who may have some spare funds, it is also a good time to buy ALTs anyway, since it is possible most of them would still have some chances of being pumped at the long run and hence, some good profit.

Well, we can just say the cloud is still not clear since there is still an upcoming fork and no one would really want to take that huge chance of sticking their fingers in altcoins when a lot of people learnt their lessons from all the previous forks. The second fork is around the corner and most traders, except some with balls, do not want to tamper so much with the Alt market right now.

Let nobody deceive you mate, unless you are ready to waste your time doing very much for nothing, I will suggest you find a way to increase your $1 before you start trading. It is not realistic when you are going to have to consider some of the losses you will make as this is a trading environment and predictions can always go wrong and the fees you will also pay.

I do not know about other exchanges, but you cannot even trade with less than 50000sats on bittrex which to me is even unrealistic.

If you have really followed the past 2 forks, then you would know that what you have said is not right.
Hardly was there a huge fall in any of the forks except for the China news that happened after the first fork which was even a month after and had nothing to do with the fork.

However, all forks have even proven to the users that it means even much more surge in price for bitcoin and even whenever we see some slight corrections; it does not even take up to 2 months like you said, before it recovers and head straight to the moon again, barely 2 weeks before we even see that.

This does not need much expert suggestion. The alts have bled enough and even if they would have to bleed a little bit more, it won't be that huge, so your friend can go ahead to buy them as they are pretty much in a very good buying state right now. Also, he should be careful the kind of coin he buys as some altcoins are shitty and unless he is willing to hold that coin for long, then he should not even bother.

That is very possible if Bitcoin keeps going up, although most of them will get pumped a little and then start experiencing the same level of dump again with bitcoin soaring. It is a norm and it is better to get as much quick profit one can get from them without being too greedy in case such scenario occurs or just stick to the charts for any strange movement.

It is certainly not for everyone and that is the mistake most newbies in trading always make.
They usually feel they can just gamble their way into trading, make some decisions that they feel could be right and then end up being wrong.

They are always the FOMOs most time looking for the coin that is rising and then trying to quickly make some gains and just like the OP ends up being bag holders.

Anyone who wants to trade very good, should first consider the kind of coins they want to trade, then always look for the best position and then have patience until they hit with some strategies too, in case they are losing.

We cannot say yet. The thing is if you have really been taking a closer look, it does not take bitcoin long seconds to start increasing in value hugely once positive news drop. It is always more like some people are always on the news, and absolutely whales are too.

This makes the spikes we experience to always be sudden. Moreover, there is much upcoming news at the moment and I am so sure this may really drive the value of bitcoin in no time. The best is just to keep buying as much as one can and as much as one can afford.

The first mistake you ever made was selling your BTC because of the fork. It is pretty obvious that forks are more or less like scams and are becoming ignored by the community gradually. The truth is no one can really tell you know whether to buy in back or not cause we cannot see the future but if you are holding for a long term, I do not see why you should be bothering yourself when to buy or sell BTC.

We might experience some corrections but no one knows which news may cause the value of bitcoin to spike even further. So, it is best you follow your own mind and own up to any decision you make since you have already missed the ATH trading, but you will still get it back if you buy and hold for the future.

I believe that is enough for any layman to know that it has been very profitable so far. Bitcoin is a digital currency with a lot of uses and the demand for the value is what increases the price and as long as we all keep sticking to the fact that we want to keep using it, it will end up not just profitable.

But would make its daily usage and means of transaction very lovely and anyone who wants to consider it as probably harmful should better stay away. Every investment comes with a risk and if the OP cannot understand the risk by himself, then he is absolutely not ready to invest.

It seems some countries are still trying to view the population of the users before they can really see if it is enough for them to take any serious step or not. It is kind of reasonable and I would not blame them, however, it is even better to start regulating at this level by using some developed countries as a case study and implementing the same before it gets so huge.

With your final statement, that is pretty obvious and we all know the highest that can happen is for government to accept it sideways but giving up control be giving up fiat is something we can never see and the highest that would ever happen is for them to adopt the blockchain technology and create a centralized cryptocurrency of their own.

This is just a plain fact. Over time we will see a form of stability, however, how soon that would be is what is not known. It is normal to always see some booms once in a while which is totally based on adoption and then it stops and we start seeing the normal market volatility of few percentages based on some few factors and all which is normal. Bitcoin has grown pass being a risky asset, not that most countries are finding ways to regulate its usage and over time, it would just be used normally and then held probably as an asset for stable and little growth.

LOL. That is a dream we both know can never come to pass unless something pretty huge happens. We cannot always have it all and would you even watch it to fall that bad before you get in. Do you know how many people would even wish they had bought at $4000 right now and fast they would gulp it, if it ever did.

For now, I guess we just have to stick with the current situation, if something crazy happens for sure, we buy pretty much more but I doubt it ever will, at least not as worst as what China caused in the past.

Yes, the decentralization alone is a value and the fact that people end up knowing that the government cannot just be busy controlling their way of spending and enslaving them is what would make bitcoin to keep increasing in value.

The value of bitcoin at any point is fair since there is demand for it and without utility or great value, the demand would not have been high. So, even if it is tagged at $1 million, it is still a fair value as long as people need it, just the law of nature.

I feel this coin was overhyped and people are already beginning to lose some trust in the devs. However, it is still normal for coins to get dumped and it seems they are only listed on cryptopia presently, trading at $0.11 and there is every possibility that we may experience more dumps at the end. We just wait and see how it all ends. However, the whole mobile mining bullshit were just flukes and at the end they will end up back like any normal coin.

Keeping investing into one coin will ensure success on your investments. But, not all the coins require that. When you started with high potential one then one time investment itself more than enough.
