You could always in some other coins like ethereum and litecoin. Also look into new ICOs, do research and see what their project is aimed at and if your research yields positive results then you can invest in it. I've seen many people who made a lot of money from investing in ICOs which ended up doing well. Although be very careful when you do this and make sure you've done adequate research.

The biggest advantage for me I believe is the ability to completely control your money and what happens to it. You decide what transactions you want to carry out without having to worry about banks delaying your transactions and flagging them even. The decentralized nature of the coin is what drew me in the first place and it's also what's keeping me in. Also, the fact that I have made a lot of money from investing in bitcoin is a big plus too 

I use blockchain wallet as it's quite safe, my private keys are well written down and kept in a safe place. I also keep some in bitcoin.com wallet as keeping all your bitcoin in a single wallet is not advisable in case one of your wallets gets compromise, you always have something to fall back on. I am also looking into getting a hardware wallet so I can better safeguard my bitcoins.

The market keeps defying predictions and speculations and it's hard to predict when the price will take a turn for the better. I do not believe there is anyone who can predict what will happen to bitcoin price. The price has been constantly changing and no one knows what to make of it, we are all just watching with our hands crossed. But as always, all the market needs is time I believe.

I can never understand why people bother themselves trying to predict what happens to coins so far into the future, we can't even predict what is happening to bitcoin right now and what will happen to bitcoin in the next week or next month. Focus on the present and watch the market move naturally. No one should take predictions like this at face value, what matters is the market now and your coins in your wallet.

A lot of people who are panic selling now will end up regretting their choices soon, a bear market lasting this long and going so low just means that there is a bull market on the horizon and if you panic sell now, and I'm guessing at a loss then when the prices go up you will be very sad that you sold at this time. At least we know this market is helping weed out the weak investors in the market.

I understand that the merit system here is put a place to actually help weed out the bad from the good but we also have to consider the fact that it is now incredibly hard for newbies and junior ranked members of the forum to get merit as a lot of people are unwilling to give merit. This just leads to people actually paying for merit because they are finding it so hard to get it here.

Yes I believe so too. A lot of scam coins are in the market and out of all the cryptocurrencies in the market right now there are only few who will actually survive the test of time.
It will be a good thing for the cryptocurrency market though as it will actually help weed out the scamcoins and then only real coins worth investing in will be left at that point, leading to a stronger market.

I wish a lot of people would fill their minds with such positivity too. The market will not stay down forever, it will go back up and the people who waited and held their coins through it all without panic selling would be rewarded greatly. I still do not understand why people will be in this community and still not realize that this is just a normal market movement for the cryptocurrency market.

Investing is better. Most people who trade end up losing money, but investments usually pay off.

Just explain in a simple manner.

Bitcoin is much better than bcash in every way. The fees are also small right now.

HODLING is good if you have spare money.

It can go even lower to 5000 after a few weeks.

wow the prices were at 200 dollars back then. I wish I had bought more coins and kept them in my wallet and not in Mt Gox.

No wall street boys wont be able to kill bitcoin.

Binance works without verification unlike Coinbase.

Does coinbase work in all europe?

But if the court decides that my intention was to sell to the trademark lawyer then I can be charged.

If we get electricity from solar power plants then this won't matter.
