besides, there's no need for bitcoin to become the world currency as long as we are enjoying the benefits of its existence. aiming for btc to be like "fiat" currency of most people for me is too much to ask from btc. but what we are enjoying right now, like borderless transactions, very cheap fees among others are the reasons why we are being grateful about this invention. so long we are benefitting from its existence would give us reason why we need this digital currency.

Bitcoin is already winning the war against the centralization of Bitcoin services, and a lot of Bitcoin holders are beginning to realize the safety of their Bitcoin when it is off the exchange and kept in a private wallet. You only send real Bitcoin when you do it on a p2p level and you don't own Bitcoin when your coins are stored on an exchange all you have is just promises and not Bitcoin if your Bitcoin is on the third party exchange.

Most bitcoins are still used as a way to invest and make money. There are still a small number of people who use Bitcoin to buy goods. If Bitcoin is accepted globally, Bitcoin can be used globally as a world currency. But at present, many countries are not optimistic about cryptocurrencies, which has affected the development of Bitcoin. Bitcoin and fiat currencies are now interacting with each other.

The less we use cash, the more we pay people through a corporation. The last remaining use of cash and direct payments is Tipping.
Everything else we must pay through a corporation. We cannot pay another human unless there is a corporation involved. As cash disappears this becomes a final fact -- a corporation involved in every financial transaction you pursue. In each transaction, the corporation is taking their percentage but also controls and monitors your transaction.

I have always come across people giving stories to promote bitcoin or give awareness of bitcoin in rural areas. It is a very nice job to tell people about bitcoin because it is the major currency in the world.  In this rural area how can bitcoin be used when majority of people in the the town are battling with poverty,  and how can bitcoin be used when majority don't have access to Internet.  I think people in rural area needs to be financially stable first before knowing bitcoin.

Trading ideas is not the same from different people. You read some thread and you get the advise not to involve too much money on trading because of risk of losing and the other is telling you to do that to get profit more. It is knowledge and training that a newbie need to overcome this issue and challenge. Trading is not easy because it involves loses.

If you use btc futures without having sufficient analytical skills, you will not get profits but will experience losses, making your capital run out. Apart from that, you also have to control your emotions in trading because this has made many people lose opportunities to make profits. But as traders, we have our own way of analyzing the market to find a time when we can trade.

Is your dream actually happening? Otherwise, how will you assist others in achieving their dreams? Are you willing to get involved in a pump and dump game in which some will gain and others will lose? Have your signals made you any money? Otherwise, believing you is quite risky. It's a matter of money, and we could lose. Nothing confirmed into cryptocurrency, otherwise your signals should make you a millionaire. I will not follow any signals from newbie users who are not well established here. Just be cautious when trading.

I don't think he is fearful but he sounds confident so maybe he wants to buy more coins by the time BTC hit those values. That law you are saying there is true but that was mainly used outside while in cryptos we have a different law here and that is the law of supply and demand.

There are no obvious signs yet that tells that BTC price will accelerate to a good point but what most of us sees right now is stability and sometimes a decline. If I were to choose if which direction btc will go I think I will choose downwards. I may only change this view towards BTC once we successfully moved on to a brand new year. We only have a few days left, so it's now more easier to accept things that there are no good things that will happen this year.

One thing is that it is never easy to predict what will happen in the market, continuously monitoring the price will be heartbreaking, most people have sold all of their assets just to watch the market, investing is not for the weak, looking at those who purchased when bitcoin was priced at around 60,000 and now it is between 16,000 and 17,000, the best course of action after investing is just to hold to make a profit and not selling off and avoid altcoins. Learning to manage risk and scams should also be a priority.

BTC is probably going to 13K, then 9K and so on.

You first registered in this forum in 2013. I would expect you to be familiar with Bitcoin price movements all the way from 2013... The current situation is actually normal and happens after every bull run.

You don't expect Bitcoin price to keep climbing higher and higher without any correction or consolidation phase.

If lawyers are calling you for the FTX exchange scam to institute a matter in court to get back what you lost, you still have to be careful not to be scammed again. The people calling may also not be lawyers but people aiming to scam with that way. When there is issues like this scammers also see it as an opportunity to scam you more. If they are asking for you to give your consent to go to court, be careful not to send money to them if they are requesting for it.

I'm really curious about what you all think about cryptocurrency. I've been wanting to start investing in it for a while now, but I feel like I don't know enough about it to make good decisions. Do you have any advice?

It is dangerous waiting any further. Buying at this price is really fair enough and a chance to meet up with some good profit during the bull run. Instead of waiting any further for price to drop below this which is still under strong probability i will rather buy as much as i can now have some reserve incase it dips further then catch up with that as well that way there will be nothing to lose because the next bull run will be so massive.

As the current movements of the BTC market price shows, I think these are small bullish indication but yet to pick up the pace to begin the real bull run. 25k price point needs to be broken in order to push the BTC price to make that happen.
This is my own analysis on market and I think one bull run won't be enough for the push.
But recent popularity and many countries accepting BTC will be a huge break for BTC.
