Those heyday were history now as nowadays there is too much of greed and mistrust and fear amongst the developers that forget about delayed payment now most of them don't pay and there are too many projects who just leave it in the mid ways once they get the desired investment and scam the investors.

I have a bitter experience with christmas/new year price dump as there is a set of people who always claims that the value of bitcoin will increase during the end of the year which proved wrong last year as well as the year prior to that wherein the value of bitcoin started to fall after christmas. This year it's a whole different due to price corrction which has happened till now and yes just for the sake of speculation i could vouch on $6,000 mark.

Yes this is just the beginning as there is a long way to go when the real players joins the crypto as of now we have some big whales who controls the bitcoin market it seems like we are moving away from the reason why the bitcoin and crypto coins were created as now we look at it as a mere investment rather than utilizing it's primary functionality. Not sure how this will end and where it will lead bitcoin to, but one thing is sure that bitcoin will not die.

If some of the tenured and responsible bitcoin users can take the initiative of having any bitcoin community meet ups or gathering it will create more awareness about bitcoin but we cannot push the users to use bitcoin or any altcoin but rather we can advise them about the benefit of bitcoin and crypto in general, then it's up to them as there are risks involved and the crypto market is extremely volatile hence no one would like to take the risk of asking other to invest and then being held responsible if they lose money.

Yes they must do a proper research and background verification before agreeing to work for any sort of projects as one negligence or carelessness of the bounty manager can lead to wastage of efforts put in by the bounty hunters and other folks involved in the bounty campaign including the bounty manager and his team as well.

Yes cryptos have it's own use and it can never replace the real fiat currencies and even if we start using crypto instead of real fiat then it will create a chaos which might lead to a disastrous economical recession. Cryptos can be used as a mode of money transfer and other new technologies which gives i upper hand compared with traditional method like money transfer system which takes m\weeks if we do it through any money exchange but it's a matter of seconds through crypto. 

Peer to peer and business to business transactions are the main reason why some of the entrepreneur as well as businessmen use bitcoin as they don't have to show our transactions to the government and pay taxes to them for our transactions. Where other set of people invest just to get a better return on investment assuming the price will increase. Hassle free money transfer to any point of the world is the primary reason to use bitcoin though, nowadays government are warning traders and users to stop trading bitcoin.

Estonia is the capital of crypto currency followed by Malta as these countries are setting benchmark for other countries to follow and yes South American countries might soon adopt blockchain to the extend which Estonia have utilized blockchain as they are already being crypto friendly countries and there was a news year saying that Venezuela might launch it's own crypto named Petro.  

Coinmarketcap is the first thing which I check one I wake up as it's a trustable source for years but display of false information  is the least expected thing and no one would have even imagined this in their dreams.  It's really disappointing to see a most trusted site misguided it's users.

Yes even I vouch for bull run over bearish market but last year it was the other way around wherein everyone  were waiting for bullrun  especially those who missed to buy btc during initial stage did invested in btc by mid of 2018 but that didn't  work. Let's hope this year we can expect some progress.

I am not sure if technical analysis is still useful or not as it has not helped me much in quite some time now but it used to be useful during initial days. As the situation has changed now wherein there are so many predictions but less number of believers for those predictions due to the fact that the price wave going against the prediction. This is my personal opinion as it might have helped you.

They are indeed looking for realistic  project where they can get benefited especially after the terrible 2018 and 2019 wherein most of the projects were dead and some turned out of be scam as a result they are more cautious now which will make the investment difficult especially  for the ICO and IEO. But if we get couple of fantastic project with a technology of future which  will yield decent amount of profit to investors then it might change the perspective.

Volatility at its best as we are witnessing one of the most consecutive fluctuations  ever as compared the past wherein if the price fluctuates it will all East stay at that particular value for a fortnight but fluctuations of almost $500 every 12 hours is scary as it might attract risk investors  but might lose mid level traditional  investors.

Yes the demand and supply had never been a problem as the key factor is it's  price fluctuations band volatility  as we cannot use bitcoin like fiat currency is because it's  can be manipulated by the whales playing up with small and mid level investor's money by turning the tide based on their requirement.

I think the price manipulation might never end as far as greedy whales got huge chunk of bitcoin with them.

This is happening from past 18 months but prior to that the predictions used to be true and the unpredictability started only after the massive pump I mean bull run of 2017 last quarter which changed the course of bit coin and this was the time many whales jumped into bitcoin and post which they have controlled the value of bitcoin using the huge bitcoin which they hold.

I think the right time to buy Matic was during the launch time as there was huge hype and even I tried purchasing it but it was sold out.  There was tremendous  hype and speculations about it which might make any mid level crypto user to invest into matic but once it was launched the matic's magic started fading.  

As of now we need to forget about the first position as it will always be retained by bitcoin at least for next few years as other altcoins have a long way to go before even trying to compete with bitcoin but yes there are chances for other altcoins to be the second most dominant coin by replacing ETH which was done by ripple in the past only for a short span of time.

This happens with most of the project as investors tend to invest in the scam projects just by going through the convincingly themed ICO website without even doing proper investigation as most of the ICO mention name of some big MNC as their partners just like that to attract the investors,  there are some cases wherein bounty users dump the token once they receive it as I have seen this with well know project like policy pal wherein the investors has to take the brunt.

Let's hope the value of bitcoin increases without any further dump but deep down the heart we all knows that the only thing which will be constant in crypto world is fluctuations and I think this is the right time for those short term investors to barge in to earn some quick profits rather than waiting for further drop as I feel this is a temporary pump which needs to be utilized before the market goes bearish again. This phase of crypto is really complicated wherein most of us are clueless about the up coming trend which was not the case before two years.

Kindly share your valuable thoughts.

Yes there are chances that the value of bitcoin will increase further and either this might be the repeat of what happened in the last quarter of 2017 or else just a temporary pump before one more bearish season. It's never hard to reach $9,000 as this mark has been achieve multiple times but the real challenge here is about the stability even if the value reaches $9,000 mark there are chances of more fluctuations.
