We sure may not know what could happen but at the same time, anything is possible. $1m may end up possible in the long run, but I am not sure yet if it is something that is possible to achieve by mid-2020. I would be amazed though to see this come into reality. The fact that we are in a bear trend now, does not mean we cannot eventually switch back into a bull trend in the long term, but however it is, I guess we will just have to see.

Dubious or not, nothing is going to change the way the market is in the long run as there is a lot of potentials for this market and collapsing is the last thing we will ever get to see at all. Government regulations however is making some people skeptical as how that would end up being the fate of bitcoin, but the truth is for now, no one knows, and regulation to me should bring more good than harm and it is not like it will end up changing the decentralized protocol anyway.

Market capitalization can reduce at any time based on money flow and that cannot be used to depict the state of the future of a market. The same way it flowed out is the same way it can flow in at any time. Bitcoin getting a huge drop in price will simply affect the alts as well and in that case, some alts may end up getting badly beaten out of the market eventually, and probably will be the end of all the shit coins.

Really ? Give yourself a big round of applause mate.. There we go the soothsayer who can see exactly what happens in the future and tell us exactly how it is going to happen. Although, there is a possibility of $20k acting as a resistance, and the fact that after breaking the $12k support, there could be a huge chance of coming back to test it as a support.

But you are giving an affirmative statement like you know it is going to happen exactly like that and forgetting that a lot of things can actually change before or after then. Always remember that in a market, anything is possible, so predicting the future should be totally out of it.

Yeah, the best way is just to be very careful and it is even absurd that some bounty hunters do not care about the potential of a project or the possibility of a project being a scam before they even help advertise the product. So in a way, anyone who is pushing out a scam project is as guilty as the scammer themselves.

However, there are just some projects you will never imagine could fall in that category but what is there is to just know that you can never have it all and by being careful, at least, you will minimize the risk of not getting paid due to scam or an ICO that failed.

Those associating them to be rivals are either simply stuck in their traditional age or they just do not know what to say. I totally agree with everything you have said as well, because let's face one fact, Chinese government is always trying to control everything and I would not be surprised if what US government is saying about them is true.

Plus, if because of bitcoin wallet is why people want to be buying this phone, then I guess they are as paranoid as the Chinese government themselves.

Yeah, as long as demand will keep rushing in for it based on its smart contract usage on the high level which I even believe is going to end up booming a lot in coming years, then the possibility of seeing it climb up hugely is definite. There is a great use for it and that gives it a lot of benefit and advantage over any other altcoin to even be able to retain its position for long. For the fact that it is useful and will keep being useful, that is solid enough for any investor to be rest assured on holding it.

My only comma in the whole equation is that it is inflationary, but really who cares as long as it is creating those value and it has a lot of potential in the long run than we can even imagine. With that being the case, it is very much worth holding as an asset and a store of value based on its intrinsic value.

The big concern with investing what you are willing to lose is that people just do not understand that context. They zoom their mind into the idea of a ponzi scheme where you can end up losing everything, but they are not getting the fact that, even though there is a future for this market, nothing is guaranteed.

Plus, there is a huge level of volatility but the only way to not get emotional when the volatility comes is to invest what you would not even be scared about and can easily wait it out for the long term benefit or even use those dips to buy some little more.

Infrastructure is based on the governance of each country and how ready the government is in providing that for its citizens. Although, I understand that could limit the level of adoption since there would be some who may not even be aware of the whole thing going on in the digital age, let alone, know how to take full control of their finances in the crypto world.

Things like this will take time though and for one thing I believe it cannot be that bad that most of these underdeveloped countries won't even have access to the internet at all, except that they may not have it the way developed countries may have it.

It is very possible. A lot of people in the past who probably mined bitcoin earlier with their system and had some bitcoin in return or those who bought some back then, over time could have just given up and just throw the access to their wallet somewhere they just cannot remember anymore and as long as those are lost and they have no access to the wallet or most especially the private key anymore, then they are gone forever and there is no way they can be retrieved, so we are only going to be left with those ones in circulation right now.

I guess there has been a lot of discussion about this online and even so many on this forum that could help you get your questions answered, but for the sake of helping others who may need an answer, the most important thing is to beef up your own security.

Always try to make use of additional securities like 2FA, SMS login, and make sure you are using a strong password on any exchange you are in. Disregard some emails as they may be containing some phishing links and you do not want to be putting your details in any of them and most importantly, before inputting your details on any site, always look out for the green lock button beside the URL.

Is there really any investment that is not risky ?
One thing with cryptocurrency is the security and volatility risk but it is not something that cannot be avoided as long as you know what you are doing.

Regarding the security risk which is the main context of this thread, I believe that it is in everyone's hand and obviously, what has a hacker gotten to do with conscience, as it is left for you to know how to stay secured but I see no reason why anyone should now because of that stay away from crypto. Just know what to do and you will not have any problem.

It is not about the number of people who are trading; it is the number of people who are trading with great knowledge. In case you do not know, gambling is risky, and what a real professional trader is doing is an educated gambling with a lot of tools to make use of, analysis to do and quick decisions to make without any form of emotion.

All the above, those are not something easy to do, but things you need to minimize those risks and unless you are ready to learn how to do your best, you really do not want to put your hand in the shark's mouth.

It is that entertainment and fun that so many people have overlooked and since there is actually the possibility of winning a huge amount, they tend to focus more on that. Those who are actually gambling just to go have some little fun and end up paying for the fun, will never look at the aspect of winning much and if they do, they will know when to stop.

I go to casino with just so little I would not even feel and most times, I have two ways of stopping which is when I have finished what I have on me, or when time is up, but so many people will just want to spend their entire life in a casino like it depends on it.

Of course there will always be hidden conditions and the main thing about the bonuses is to keep enticing the young soul into gambling. Most of the time, the condition is to gamble it and wager a certain amount before you can even withdraw it if I am correct and the more you keep doing that and expecting to win, you will keep giving the platform more money to run their business. That is absolutely the way I see it anyway as someone else may see it otherwise.

Honestly, cryptocurrency brought an easier environment when it comes to making payments, no involvement of banks, staying anonymous and so on. This has made it easy for those who have been into online gambling and those who never tried it before to easily open an account and get going immediately.

I would say though, that the rate at which new gamblers are evolving everyday as a result of this based on what I read in an article recently is alarming. Still, this community is spreading awareness against the dangers of gambling. Only those you take time to care themselves may escape.

I really do not see any issue buying now as well for someone who is actually looking at holding a long position, knowing that you cannot time the market and the future is the main thing anyone should be focused on unless they have some little idea about trading that can give them an advantage to follow the trend in the market.

I understand that the market really does not look like it is ready much for an uptrend now, but nothing is actually guaranteed much based on how volatile the market can be, as well as how surprising it can get at times.

Just like the article said 'Echoes of Weiss' !
It is funny that a lot of people still pay attention to these punks when their own citizens hardly give a damn about what they are even dishing out.

It just seems to me that they are so in love with their controlling nature that as long as it is simply in their way, they just see it as a complete threat and try to see every means to degrade it. Unfortunately, they are losing it and they are as well losing every sense of reasoning that they have, if they ever had any though.

If it is about the consensus, we should have been seeing the likelihood of some huge buying momentum, but it seems the sentiment outside is totally different from what we are having in the market. However, anything is possible in a highly volatile and decentralized market, so the possibility of hitting $7k is still very possible and it is just a matter of time before we get to know.

I can see a falling wedge now though, and the bearish sentiment can only change if we manage to break out of it to the upward but for now, nothing yet!

How on earth will what he is looking for be found on the forum? SMH ! There are so many resources online to get anything he wants and it does not necessarily have to be books and if it is all about books, there are list of books that I am sure must have been reviewed by some well learned fellows as well online and having the list should be able to guide the OP.

I feel as long as you know exactly what you are looking for and for the fact that this is a digital age where you can easily buy books on amazon or even get some freely online, it should not be that hard if you can do some research.

Nice one. The thing usually is, why choose one when you can simply invest in both. They are equally important since you are investing in the future. Good education will help you get prepared for the future; bitcoin on the other hand can even ease things up for you in the future.

How about finishing studies, having huge capital to start building your dream and then be happy all round. In life, I always believe that every opportunity should always be taken, and as long as you can blend both, since all you have to do anyway is to HODL, and continue with your studies no matter how little you are investing is.
