Well, that is one thing that only time can tell and as we are now, it is best to just be patient and see how events would all unfold.

At least with a break out upward for bitcoin, that would really mean a lot generally for the whole market, looking at the way the alt market has really been trying as much as possible to gear up for the next bull run and we are seeing some making attempt with breakout with good volume across board which shows the whales are beginning to step in and this might be another moment just to take the market upward on another buying spree.

I can see everyone is simply excited about some bull market coming within the last three months of the year. Well, if we are to go technically, I would say it is very possible and for the fact that a lot of the altcoins starting with doge and ripple have made the first move, we can say the possibility is still really getting more glaring and about becoming a reality.

I have seen a lot of bullish divergence on altcoins with some promise of trend reversal, they have all gotten over sold to some extent anyway, so I am not surprised and for what it is worth, I would say however things eventually turn out, we will just have to wait and see.

No market is predictable, so limiting your words to only altcoins, when the whole market and even outside market such as Forex, stocks and so on, is not all predictable when it comes to their movement.

Usually, we have to understand that being a decentralized space and for the fact that it is obviously a market in which there is no regulation, the possibility of seeing manipulations will always be there until we start seeing real life usage which is the main reason why a whole lot of us clamor for real life usage in the long run than just some speculative driven price as this is the time you can get to see a more matured sustainable market when it comes to its value.

Confirming 7th week payment. Thank you very much BQT team !

Project pay out in tokens because they really do not want to spend much to achieve the promotion of their project and bounty is an easy way to go. So, paying in other digital currency defeats that objective. I would say the best thing to do in such scenarios is to either lock the bounty participant’s token for a long time until the market has developed to some certain extent.

However, let us not forget that bounty participants always have just very little of the total amount at the end of it all, and I would not say bounty hunters are the major culprits of driving down the market value, but would rather state that, this is an act of whales to just drive out the weak hands out of the market at lower price.

Lakers can't trade for AD, noone can. Who could you possible give to pelicans for AD? You HAVE TO wait for the free agency if you want to acquire him and thats too far away.

I think lakers should focus on the future and not today, I know there could be players who ditch out like randle did or even a bigger move that durant did however if they develop lonzo/hart/ingram/kuzma combo well and get some big man, that team would be amazing even after lebrons 4 year ends. Yes those players will need contracts eventually but these guys when developed properly with good trainers like drew hanlen and under lebrons wings, that team can really become a powerhouse for years.

Even a newbie will always claim to be an expert when it comes to a bullish market as my grandma can even call market shots in those periods. The best time to know how good you are and to learn as much as you can when it comes to making good market decisions is during a bear market as that would really enhance your experience when it comes to trading a difficult market and when the easy one comes, you will find it so amusing in the long run.

Even in the vegetable market or the traditional market, can you predict exactly what would happen to the price of the items you want to buy tomorrow? Not at all and even though some of them are fixed, they can be changed. No one can predict the future and that is the best way to always look at things. However, the readiness to learn is one thing that a lot of people really do not take into consideration and like the OP said, the best time to always learn is when conditions are not naturally favorable.

ETH on its own is actually a very good investment for anyone who is really looking into some long term prospect and for the fact that it really did hit some huge bottom recently. At this point, 3 ETH is about roughly $600 - $700 and if the Op is looking at putting into any altcoin, it should be altcoins with solid projects and not just altcoins that he would regret. No one can make that decision for him and it is better if only he himself knows what he is buying and not what someone is telling him to.

Please do not join into the herd of people who had made their investment decisions just based on marketcap and price levels. There will be no guarantee that all 5 cent coins will have one dollar value in some near future. Marktcap is just a measurement and definitely not a criteria for show casing the potential of a coin.

I have never been a fan of trying to copy others before making a trade, as I do always believe in trying to do my own thing, but it is something that is worth checking out. In trading, we all learn everyday one way or the other and in that case, you can build on your own experience and get to know how to do things better over time.

Absolutely, one cannot say there is always going to be a 100% successful trade but one way or the other, it is always better you have some clue before deciding to follow others when it comes to making decisions. Like most other people here, I am also preferring in just holding my coins rather than trying for daily some profits. Due to my day job, trading actively is not at all possible for me and simply buying and holding for months to years just getting me more than what I am earning from my job. Then why should I look for anything that is more riskier and more importantly not suitable for my schedule.

I really do not get the point you are trying to drive out here. As long as something increases in value over time, that is considered an investment. The only part to it is that it also serves every other benefit and advantages as well when compared to its form as a currency and that is what gives it the value in the first place. Therefore, it is not necessarily talking about you investing in ICO that matters here, since at the end of the day, you might end up investing in ICOs and still lose more than you putting into bitcoin anyway.

Now a days I do hear about sustaining income generation from master node operating. I am not recommending any one particular coin for that but just sharing we I have observed from my friends and from this forum. After POW and POS, I guess MN will be the new way of mining but need to be as much as care how we did for other types of mining.

As it is now, all we have in our hands is a theory and with the chart posted by WindFury and the consistent increase analysis Franky1 posted, I guess it seems like something that is quite close to being possible. However, we really do not know how the future is always going to play out but at least; it is worth keeping up the hope and optimism till then for those who really do not have any single idea why they invested in the market in the first place and the essence of focusing on the long term.

In the past bitcoin had brought all the theoretical into reality hence why not in coming days. In my speculation bitcoin may test $1 million levels too by 2022. Yes, it is still within Franky's calculations. He revealed the minimum of every year so far but the maximum is as per demand still. For example, as per his calculations the optimum price of 2013 is $12.13 but in open market we had experienced $1200 in 2013. (I assume you made a typo of % instead of $ ).

Bitcoin is not a thing that can be deleted from existence.
It works in p2p system that you also use on torrent like systems. As long as there is even 1 single person that uses bitcoin that means bitcoin will be here.

Now considering even one person can make bitcoin stand still, do you think this daily 11 billion dollar business of trading with bitcoin can stay for long or forever ? Or do you think a 10-15 billion dollar a day trading with bitcoin can disappear tomorrow ?

The logical answer to this is "stay for long" is absolutely possible, "forever" might not be because we have no idea if after a thousand year what happens.

Would it ? Are you crazy, I know facebook might be getting not so much popularity among young people but think about it they have both channels capturing every single detail about every single person. They can focus on young people on instagram and try to capture their attention and bring them to bitcoin plus they can use facebook to promote to elderly and promote it for them.

I am not talking about just advertising, this company knows every single detail about you, there is no way they can't create a customer out of you, if they want to focus they can find millions of customers in just days with just those two platforms.

Security can be bought anyway but not like even with that everything is guaranteed that you end up being fully secured. Either you are rich or not, as long as you are comfortable, you can be robbed. However, money is a great necessity all over the world, but certainly, you have to do something to earn it and it does not just come freely. More like an exchange of value as the case may be in which money becomes the medium to do that. So, at the end of the day, in any form, money will always matter.

Money itself is just a tool that is put in place as a way for payment and it could be in any form. At least, from the beginning, we see how the barter system all started in which people exchange goods for goods, probably, services for services, and then we move to some making use of shells in some places, and then physical assets, and then physical cash. Payment can always come in different means, but whichever way, you will always have to need something to exchange for a value of the other.

AD can definitely move to lakers but if that is going to happen that needs to happen with a trade and not during free agency.

The trouble with waiting for him to come is that lebron will be old as hell when AD comes thru free agency, I know lebron is a cyborg and all but he is 34-35 right now, during 2020-2021 season he will be like 37 or so, just let the man drop a bit.

If AD comes during that time lebron still be an amazing player but not the lebron we know, specially if he gets injured. Kobe was playing with 33 points against golden state when he got injured and never was himself again. If lakers wants AD, they need to react quicker and can't stand a chance to wait around.

Where is even the market condition that is destroyed in the first place ?
Sometimes, I feel people just say whatever comes to mind to make themselves feel however they want to feel doing so.

The problem however here is that they keep whining and complaining about the downtrend that they keep making the same bullshit mistakes over and over again by not buying the dips all in the name of they are scared of a collapsing market. It is a huge pity and I can really see how wisdom and knowledge tend to play a very important role when it comes to investment decisions.

People who are always shocked and confused are the ones that never had a strategy coming into the market in the first place and their first attempt on making market decisions was fuelled by greed. This is a very good timing for someone who is looking at the long term potentials and buying the dips as this is a chance that may never come again, but instead, they panic, sell at bottom, chicken out and when the market increases tomorrow, they start telling us how they missed the chance to buy the dip.

And those who make decisions out of panic will keep being the gullible ones who are so ignorant that they let themselves get played from missing out in the future at the end of it all. We have seen so far, people will always get to do things the way they want to do it, but the problem at times is that a whole bunch of them always fail to learn from their past mistakes and they end up making the wrong decisions over and over.

But those people who are not having any firm idea about the future of cryptos, also spread FUDs. That is the reason we do experience more volatility which prevents all others to join this world. Nothing new is happening in cryptos but most people not ready to accept this .

Whether it will overtake or not, no one knows and the only thing we can say about the market now is that it is a great chance for those who are smart enough to see it as an opportunity and take advantage of it.

Certainly those who know the reason why they are investing in the long term, always tend to seek knowledge in the best ways they can always take advantage of different opportunities, while those who are just after the money and getting rich quick will keep whining forever until they admit to themselves how ignorant they are when it comes to investment and ready to learn.

Except you are a marginal trader or you are simply the kind of person who buys the top and sell the bottom, it is always hard for anyone not in this category to lose all they had. As long as you are not selling for loss, you are not losing anything. However, it is a good thing you were compelled to learn how to trade, and have been able to do it well to be able to gain enough profit from it in the long term. That is what picking up the pieces and trying to make amendment is all about rather than complaining.

Well, in some people's dictionary, due to how gullible they are when it comes to information and making decisions, I will say they just do not have the slightest idea not to see every dip as an opportunity to always buy but instead would see it as a critical moment. Usually, most painful moment of people would be losing out in their investment or trade since this is one general thing we have always noticed anyway, but as long as you know how to retrace and see how you have gone wrong, then you will be better off next time.

Bucks could be a great destination for J.Butler for position and what trades could offer. Bucks do not have good picks because they rank usually well and do not posses other teams picks as well however they can offer middleton.

Now, I know middleton is more of a bucks player than jimmy could be but both of them are on their contract year so its a gamble for bucks, if they keep middleton and not get butler than they need to keep middleton for sure, they need to know he will stay. If butler comes and he stays than that is a better deal. So, if bucks think they can keep butler than that is good, if butler goes than middleton is more important.

I am sure that should be obvious and very much glaring already with the way bitcoin is gaining dominance by the day. What you mean by "if ready". There should not be such state where market will be set to bounce back. It is a continuous progress and may happen slow yet steadily. Back to the point, there are so many coins and tokens out there without any real life product, and that makes it susceptible to have them quickly dumped since they are all about the speculation.

Everyone may have their opinion however, but no one knows exactly how things would turn out but for someone who really knows how this market certainly is like, they would know better not to pay so much attention on long term investments when it comes to altcoins.
