You actually said my mind and instead of much ado about nothing, OP  should channel the precious time he has got into making the most out of this breakthrough especially now as we are privileged to be the early adopters, before long, we would be entering the mass adoption stage and things might no longer be as easy.

Yes there are people, like merchants who prefer to sell their coins right away in order to preserve their values at time of sale, but there also people, who originally set to Hodl, but on the onset of one bad news or the other, FUD gets the better of them, leading to panic selling even against their original wish. It takes having a very high risk appetite to get away with Hodling and obviously not everyone can boast of having one.

I suppose it's obvious this has little or nothing to do with physical strength, so would rather say, only the knowledgeable and experienced, stands a better chance of surviving the ups and downs of an evolving and very speculative market as this. At the end of the day, trading cannot be everybody's thing, so a right foot forward would be to ascertain if one is already passionate about cryptocurrency trading or if it's all about the stories of other people hitting gold!

Those are of course huge selling points for blockchain and they bring on reassurance to entrepreneurs and investors across the global because it's unprecedented in the financial industry to come across any system offering even half as much in transparency and security and it's no wonder a whole lot of businesses and innovations have been springing up around blockchain ever since.

Given that we're still far away from the $1300 ATH of ETH last year, one can appreciate your point that ETH is still relatively cheap and as such, still a very good buy especially for anyone willing to Hodl for a long term. To the best of my knowledge, the only thing capable of standing in the way of ETH would be the death of cryptocurrency but since that is most unlikely, we shall continue to see appreciation in price because of the demand base it already caved out for itself.

I think he was actually looking at the picture of the mining of Bitcoin placing very huge demand on the use of fossil oil and that can rightly be said to pose some threat, but it is without a double not a significant threat to the earth and the availability of renewable alternative energy further reduces whatever burden there would have been.

If anyone is interested in knowing what financial system that's actually killing the earth, one only need to look at the ozone layer depletion caused by deforestation and falling of trees, which is still a major raw material for making paper (fiat) money - perhaps blessing us with floods and droughts, pollution, loss of soil fertility, spread of deserts,etc.

I was going to think you would know better than spreading falsehood and scaring newbies at the end of the day. Bitcoin is not anything dangerous, rather delving into it as with any other sphere without good understanding of what it's all about and what to expect, is what defines dangerous. Can you also say a car is dangerous or is it the driving without experience and licence?

As for OP main concern, Bitcoin is the first approach to sanitize our comatose monetary system by bringing safety, trust and cost less to play. Those are exquisite qualities people have been looking for over the years and the recognition that Bitcoin is an answer is the reason the demand for Bitcoin will continue to soar and recover after every attempts to clip its wings or to take the wind out of its sails.

That is something OP failed to realized - this is the 21st century and oil no longer is an indispensable source for energy. I wish he had shared some links of where those figures he had used came from, because they're too bogus to be taken serious by any sound mind, except of course, haters of Bitcoin.

That line on power consumption being more than total energy consumption in Nigeria, a country of about 186 million people is laughable, because major of that population do not have access to electricity and even those that do, have epileptic supply the year round.

OP are you mining with these yourself and what exactly do you mean be,"Rdp's you can get daily: 80-100" ? Would that be additional vpses every other day?

Payments for week three received! Thanks MadZ, you're a great manager and IOST token is phenomenal!

More reason we the early adopters of the blockchain technology ought to keep speaking out of what exquisite attributes lies therein and when we are financially buoyant, we lay credence to the claims by joining other investors in putting our money where our mouth is. The blockchain technology is a disruptive technology that's already changing how we used to live and it can only get better, because it's a force whose time have come.

I think the selling pressure was not merely on Ether, but actually cut across board in the financial market. However, ETH is no less formidable today than it used to be and the vast smart contracts built around it portends huge demand for it, so it's safe to reach the conclusion that ETH cannot be held down for much too long.

Obviously the dividing line among these set of traders, is in the knowledge and experience one trader possess, which the other apparently does not have yet. As the saying goes, knowledge demystifies and so anyone that longs to be one of those buying everything with large discount, now knows where they drifted and  what foot to put forward.

If you see those earnings as mesmerizing, what then would you say of a knowledgeable, experienced and skillful trader that had bought Bitcoin and Ether at the rates you stated above and traded for 5 years? To have to wait 5 years to me, is a blunter because much more can be accomplished in far lesser time, if one took time out to learn the ropes of trading.

I doubt that was a family's decision! Must be a solo decision taken by the man of the house and it turned out he was damned lucky. Beyond that, he would have regretted ever putting his family's joy and progress on the line. That's everything gambling and it 's not something I would urge anyone to embark on with all cash at hand.

It didn't come down as a surprise to me and I suppose same goes with every Bitcoin enthusiast as there's really nothing more to expect from the CEO of a competitor. That would be more or less like expecting a manager  at Pepsi, to sing the praises of Coca Cola!

I share your point of view, because more volume of trade can be interpreted as a measure of the endorsement and faith in a coin. It goes to show how liquid a coin have probably become and until a coin is liquid enough, it hold little or no attraction for institutional traders because the market could hardly fill their orders. So we can conclude that the entrance of institutional money into cryptocurreny is a welcome development, though there're set backs also.

Well if you have the time and a worthwhile project, then it would probably worth your time, but you'll also find that by joining a couple of airdrops, you would have ended up opening the gates of your social media accounts - Facebook, Twitter, etc and even your email to torrent of spams as most airdrops are simply avenues for contacts farming and nothing stops them from selling them to third parties.

A problem I foresee with the above suggestion, is that with some tokens, BEP may remain an illusion and if OP can apply and ascertain that price have dropped well below the 61% Fibonacci level, say up to the 74% level, then best bet is to cut short your losses and move on, time's money. All said and done, we can never win all and it does not matter how hard we try!
