yep, what surprises me time on time again is that certain people always look to invest their precious coins into something that looks soo shady, but still they don't care and they invest in these sites anyway. weird people.....

no matter what you say or do, people will keep comparing bitcoin with western union and paypal and other services. it's because they are bitcoin rivals. and i can't blame them for doing that. i also agree that bitcoin is a better alternative to these payment services, but we have to accept the fact that the average joe's put more faith in these services than in bitcoin as it is right now. and that must change.

it's not interesting at all with the volumes being this low. there is literally nothing changed so far. we have seen the price go up to these levels before and even higher before it got dumped down again. and i think the same will happen again. nothing indicates that the price will go higher or lower. market is still the same.

it's not worth waiting for the price to go down a few bucks. just buy today and make sure you have some money left that you can use to buy when the price drops significantly below your previous buying price. that way you can benefit from the price that goes lower.

well said. there is no point in getting excited just because the price increased a few bucks. i don't get excited as long as we are below the $500 price level. everything above that will be welcomed with open arms. it only takes around 1400 bitcoins to dump the price back to the $415's that we are very familiar with. so keep that in mind before getting too happy.

there is no reason for the price to dive under the $300 price level as there is no bad news, no whales that are about to unload tens of thousands of coins. right now the focus is up and not down, so don't worry.

it's quite pointless at the moment to think about prices higher than $1000 while we haven't even managed to break through the $500 and the $600 price levels. thinking or dreaming about prices of $1000 is one thing, but thinking or dreaming about bitcoin reaching $1 million is beyond insane. all people should keep it real and focus on the $500 level now.

why are buyers fools? it doesn't make sense because most of the people buy bitcoin as an investment hoping they get a decent return. by inherits i assume you are talking about earning it via free methods. of course it is nice to earn some free coins every week or month, but these earnings are nothing more than a nice extra. when you buy, you can get lots of coins at once depending on your fiat balance.

a few months are nothing when it comes to investments. with stocks, people are holding them in their portfolio for a full year and get very happy when they made a profit of 10% while people here don't even get happy when they make 10% profit in just a few weeks time. there is barely any patience with the current yolo investors. quick profits is all they care about.

it depends on what your targets are as investor. my target is to keep holding at least till the price reaches $700 before securing profits. i have enough patience to wait till that time and i know i can keep every satoshi in my offline wallets till it indeed reaches that price level as i have enough patience and dedication.

pure negativity. the media is exactly the same as here. when they here cover bitcoin related news, it's always bad. bitcoin is the currency of the deep web and criminals. bitcoin is being used to finance terrorism. bla bla bla. the last 2 years it's only bad news that they release. the media is trying to brainwash people. other than that i really don't know why they do this.

if i am forced to pay for certain things only with paypal, then i simply skip that site. i don't have paypal and i will never create another paypal account. so far i have never seen a site that only uses paypal as payment option.

in order to get long term stability you need institutional investors as they bring in millions that they can use to support the price. another important aspect is that the early adopters need to decrease their total amount of coins as they have too much power over the current market price. but i don't see a reason for them to cash out a good chunk of their coins at prices below $1000.

what makes it safe right now and what past events are you talking about? bitcoin as network has become stronger as the total hashpower is increasing significantly year on year. beside that there is nothing that makes bitcoin right now safer than previous years. the protocol is as strong as it always was.

the price only went up a few bucks which is nothing special. not sure why people get excited over this at all. probably because they are bored.

i kinda agree with this. if you ask people; what exactly is bitcoin? some of them answer with; i bought it because it will grow in the future and i will make a lot profit. if you ask them the same question again, but then more serious, they will admit that they don't know what it is. there are plenty of easy to understand 'how bitcoin works' and 'what is bitcoin' videos on youtube. just a simple search will be enough to find them.

good advice, but certain people will still do what they think is good in their mind. and that's mostly buying nearly at the highest point of peaks. they wait for the price to go up significantly first before actually buying coins. they see a rising price as sort of confirmation that everything is alright. but they don't realize that by the time they buy their coins, there is barely any upwards movement left. that's why it is better to buy when the price is dumped to the ground.

securing profits is smart when the price touches $600 this year. i think i will secure some profits too in order to buy back cheaper once the price gets dumped down again. my target for this year is somewhere in the range of $600 to at most $700. you only have to make sure you sell on time because other traders will also try to secure their profits.

people mostly spend their bitcoins on digital goods. i think we have to see a wider variety of merchants accepting bitcoin payments. for example when i need to buy a new sofa, or maybe some furniture. would be great to use bitcoin as form of paymenr there.

what altcoins did you invest in to get a x20 growth in just a month time? can't see any coin(s) that has been going up that much lately. or maybe you also have gambled some of your money to get that much in only 1 month.
