Being in a depressive state because of the market will not even solve anyone's problem at the moment and it would only get to worsen things for such an individual eventually. There is so much to the opportunities every trend in the market brings and because people mindset is already clouded with the idea of getting rich fast, the ability to think straight and be wise will deteriorate. He may call it cryptocurrency bullshit now because of his own lapses, and rather than finding where he has made a mistake and amend some things, he is out there blaming the world.

I hope in the long run when he sees the market grown hugely; he won't come back telling us stories of how he missed the train now because of his own wrong decisions.

As far as I am concerned USDT is fiat even though it is on the blockchain and so is any other stable coin. According to the dictionary, fiat is a formal authorization or proposition; a decree. It is more or less not the cash itself and as long as that decree can be placed on the blockchain, where we get to have centralized digital currencies, then, we know fiat will still be in play. What I see in the long run is centralization and decentralization going hand in hand within the crypto sphere but there is no way on earth that government will integrate decentralization protocol into the system.

Fiat obviously will not die. We are talking about evolution of money here and fiat is just a system which is centralized, and the fact that government in the long run will definitely come up with their own ways of getting to build their currencies on the blockchain does not mean they will come up with a decentralized entity as we all know they will always want to be in control.

In the long run, physical cash would probably get eliminated, but one thing with fiat, is that it would still be around, but sure, there will always be an alternative of some sort which is where decentralized cryptos will come in.

Irresponsible indeed and I must say it is just something we will have to get accustomed to until the space becomes regulated.
As it is usually said, in a lawless country, there is no sin, and this space is more like a lawless space, and no one considering where such activities would land them if they ever try it in the real world.

I still so much believe that with regulation a whole lot of things would change. ICO investments will always be risky at this point for those who are actually not doing proper research before they end up in a project. That idea in the mind of scammers that there are still gullible investors is what has been keeping them going and until we start having that out of the way, it would be hard not to keep seeing them until we see the space being regulated.

Even if we have to compare last year's starting price and this year's bottom so far, I guess anyone in their sane mind would know we are still in an uptrend in the long term and it would only take those who are smart to know that anyway. There is no market with potential that actually will not end up rising eventually, which is something I totally believe will happen with Ethereum. It still remains a well-used project based on it smart contract platform and that has made it to gain relevance over time in terms of growth and I do not see that changing anytime soon.

Of course, and I do not see anything stopping that actually. I believe when the whole market ends up recovering, the chances of seeing Ethereum going great will always be intact. You want to view things even when it comes to profit depends totally on what you see in the long run actually. So far, I believe anyone who is pretty smart will be seeing this moment in the Ethereum market as a point to be getting in huge actually. We really cannot say how far Ethereum would go, but we sure know there is a great potential for it in the long run.

I have always believed this is one token with a very great potential and apparently, it is one token which I believe will really do great in the long run and it is really worth holding for as long as one can.

To have something like this in place shows a team that is actually working round the clock to come up with a usable product and seeing the application of the blockchain technology as a whole. These are two solid products already when it comes to payment system and then first blockchain phone call, this is really interesting. Been holding PundiX since it got listed on Binance anyway at 25sats, and I am holding this one tight.

Centralized will always be faster one way or the other and at the end, those who are regular traders will just have to find a way to trust centralized exchanges with their funds while making it an important thing to try as much as possible to make sure they at least take advantage of the security of the exchange.

From what we have seen for a while now, we can see how lagging most of the decentralized exchanges can be, the terrible nature of the user interfaces which sometimes I wonder how people even make use of it to make a trade easily and the fact that you won't really have that much of a flexibility compared to when you are making use of centralized exchange where you can either trade on the go via your mobile or use some applications.

It is actually just more like a sign of the bulls trying to tell us they want to get back into the market, and all I am seeing at this moment is possible accumulation while the $6k is holding on strongly from experiencing a break out downwards, but all we are actually left with at the moment is anticipation for what is going to come in the future eventually. This would not last for so long as I believe that in a way, we will end up seeing the market taking a direction eventually, so at this point, we guess the only thing we have to do is wait.

It seemed like stable around $6500 levels but yesterday we got another dump toward $6300 levels which meant we are still in volatile market and thinking toward $10k may not be right as it may need some more consolidation time.

What happened in the past doesn't really have to repeat itself at all. What happened in 2014 was related to mtgox and right now we do not have anything remotely similar to mtgox happening yet price keeps falling and not increasing.

It is true that the only similarity is people got really excited and many people said "I wish I bought at 250 dollar prices before it went to 1400 dollars" yet when it was $1400 they didn't (me included) purchased it and when the price fell down they were like "told you!" and then it reached $20k.

It was still at around 900 dollars at around 2017 last year summer before it skyrocketed. So, we may or may not wait a long time but I doubt it would be similar.

For that last part, this is something we are all possibly looking at to know how things would eventually turn out but it is still hard to tell. Technically, we have been creating a higher low from June and possibly we can say we are in a triangle at the moment with the market trying to find a direction as the case may be.

We cannot really tell yet what this direction would end up as, but usually at times like this, the optimism is always a great thing. There are so many reasons to think the market would go bullish before the end of the year, technically and fundamentally, but for now we just wait and see how things would eventually turn out.

Well, it is just a reality we practically have to get used to at the moment, until we possibly see some level of regulation as the case may be in the ICO world and on the exchanges.

A time will come when I believe some of the coins without products and development will not even have a place in the space anymore and that time is getting pretty close, we are seeing criteria for listing on reputable exchanges increasing, we are seeing shit coins getting delisted and we are seeing newbie investors getting smart to know what they should be looking out for before investing into anything and with all these, it would be about quality and not just quantity anymore.

I am not sure what you are referring to as a crash, but whichever way you want to put it, most of the things that happens in a crash most of the time, is to just see the shit coins paving the way in the market and never recovering afterwards. A crash does not just happen as something would possibly have to instigate it, but whichever way it is, I know it is bound to happen at some point and even though some may not see it as a crash, but just a normal downtrend and take advantage of it to buy the dips of projects with prospect, I believe it would be something that would help clean the space hugely.

The thing actually is that when it comes to user interface, when it comes to easy usage, decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges have not been able to get that into play yet and with that, it would always be hard to see liquidity in place when compared to centralized exchanges.

At this moment, we really cannot do much than embracing centralized exchanges for big volume traders, at least as long as they are compliant to a particular country's law and policies and you are somewhat covered as a user. I would not want to trade where I know to get out of a position will be difficult because of liquidity, would I ?

I would not be so affirmative on that and that depends on how soon you are referring to anyway. Yes, the chances are there, and we could peradventure get to see the market make a good move one way or the other towards the bullish side since the sentiment in the market right now seem a little bullish but there is no clear direction yet.

In the long run, new ATH is something we will get to see with more mass adoption and I would not doubt that at all, considering that we are pretty much low in percentage of adoption globally right now, but as we start seeing mainstream adoption and real life usage, the sky is the starting point.

You are not wrong, but the thing with the market now is that nothing is guaranteed. This is not about being pessimistic, but looking at it from a trader's point of view, sideways movement is always better to get in when there is a break out and usually risky though because sometimes, the break down happening downwards can sometime be crazy.

For what it is worth though, the chances of seeing the market recover from here is absolutely there and there is no doubt about that, but at the same time, we also have to understand that until we actually see the market giving us a higher high and low before we can indeed say we are in a bullish movement.

I would not actually expect any bull run before the end of this year actually, but things like this are always hard to tell. For the general alt market, we are actually beginning to see some bullish behavior but until we really get to see it happen for real before we can even start thinking of any possibility at the moment.

The market has been in a sideways movement and the direction of bitcoin will somehow determine a lot of things, but for now, all we can just do is to wait. We may see it and we may not, but what is important is to always take advantage of every opportunity that comes. Like most other long term believers expect, this year end also must be another fun filled hopefully hence looking for another bull run at any time to get started.

A lot has to do with the manager when it comes to preventing spam and I agree with the fact that reducing the number of posts sometimes and limiting it to a number of quality and on topic post is always the best bet when it comes to trying to reduce spam.

As long as spammers see there is nothing for them in the space, then there is no way they would not have to either adjust and get ready to learn to be able to contribute effectively within the community and for those who may find that hard to do, may just eventually end up bailing out but like I said, all these would ball down to each project as well as the bounty managers, as some bounty managers may be too lazy to even be checking out posts.

Of course, it is an attempt to spread FUD.

Unfortunately, some will be gullible enough to want to listen to it and even act on it, but at the end, it is just a tactics of someone trying to use that news to want to drive the market down so they can get a lot to favor from it.

When I saw this, I did not even pay any slight attention to it as I am sure there is no way such would have happened and we would not have seen it in most Vitalik's social media pages, and what we are seeing is someone giving us the news on development of Ethereum protocol every single day. Hence, someone coming up with something like this, actually shows someone who is dumb enough to think people will not be smart enough to know this is just some FUD news.

It is not even about uncertainty right now as there is one certain thing I know and that is the fact that investors are still investing in projects with very good and unique products as well as team they can trust to deliver.

It is the ICO space where a lot of scam has been evolving, and for the fact that it is a non-regulated space, the importance of doing due diligence is one thing investors tend not to shy away from when they know they are giving you their money. It is one thing to want someone to invest in you and it is another thing to give them enough reason to trust investing in you, and that is one thing a lot of projects today lack.

It is not actually a coin that is meant for investment, it is a stable coin and the idea is to have something investors can always use to hedge their funds in the long run based on the fluctuations of the market and its volatility.

I believe it is something a lot of investors will find interesting, judging from all the fears that have been erupting with the way things are going with USDT and the worries when it comes to the possibility of seeing USDT implode someday. It is not actually different from the normal fiat which is why I said there is no point considering it as a form of investment in the first place.

But for a coin, backed by a very renowned institution, I believe this is something that would make a lot of sense in the long run, and maybe this is the time we will start beginning to see USDT taking some hit with all these development coming up as we get to start seeing USDC on most exchanges which would actually be somewhat safer and will bring less worries when it comes to hedging your funds in fiat. In some sense, it may turn a very good one looking at the fact that financial institutions who have been against the evolution of money when it comes to seeing bitcoin thrive are the same set up of people wanting to be a part of the space now.

A really big infrastructure and where will the center of it all actually come from, unless of course we will just end up seeing the governments all over the world coming with a decentralized currency which we all know it is something that would be very hard or impossible to even see.

Knowing that a lot of countries are independent, they have the right to choose what is best for them, and you cannot just impose a single currency on the global world even though it is on the blockchain, the chances of seeing something like this happen may be hard if at the end of it, it is centralized. Something like bitcoin would have been able to fill that gap since it is decentralized but we all know how governments and banks frowns at decentralization.
