I even believe cryptocurrencies are here to stay even though not all of them but at least if you are sure of your holdings, there should be no need to be perfect. I remember the value of some of these coins earlier last year, in fact this down trend was like a huge uptrend back then, but now, those who held long at those prices are having a good time in the market right now. At the end, those who hold, buy at dips like this, are always the ones to get the good profit at the end.

It is always worth the risk in the long run, no doubt. Bitcoin has always proven to us all that it is capable to withstand any storm and get back even stronger. A lot of people were asking this question a year ago and they ended up buying at the top, and I really hope some people will not end up joining the category of those who are going to end up filled with regrets again this year.

I would not be surprised that in the next few hours or days, we may be testing the $12k region; I believe this is the main target for now and we cannot really say what will happen after this. We may go back testing the bottom, or we may just break the resistance and rally around the top for a while, but I am very hopeful that we should breakout from the downtrend as that is the ideal thing we have all been waiting for.

Yeah, cryptocurrency market is so unpredictable that you just have to be always very careful otherwise missing out big chances will be the humiliating results. However, for those who understand the market, and the fact that it not a controlled market, they always know how to fine tune their decisions to make a call when the first ends up not working out. As much as opportunities abound in trading cryptocurrency, one also has to be smart with it.

Technical analysis still helps, but you have to believe that it is not all the time, as even in Forex or stock, they can still mess up.

Honestly, I did not quickly take a look at that and you are right, maybe he is just taking the whole idea of trading the wrong way and that is affecting his ability to think and make quality decisions. 247 is a whole lot of time for someone to stay in front of a chart. What on earth is he monitoring ?

That is like trying to usher in headache, and ability of the brain not to function properly. Maybe he is overworking himself with the losses rather than looking for how to take more opportunity in his trade. No one is above making mistakes or losing and most especially for new trader, it is inevitable, but over time, it gets better. He is apparently scolding himself too much for losing and that is bad for his trading health.

Yeah, disruption is occurring already, fast movers are beginning to see that, smart investors are seeing the future from now, and that is making the bitcoin space even get more interesting. The governments are also one way or the other getting themselves involved with regulation which I want to believe will end up causing more good than harm, and with all these in place as well as bitcoin becoming a global payment option, then we should be seeing a pure era of huge profit for early investors as a result of huge demand.

At the same time, I really would not be surprised too anyway with all the developments going on and it seems the governments are beginning to see how they can regulate it and if that happens, we may start seeing more hands into the crypto space than ever before and most especially those with large money. With bitcoin also becoming usable a lot, it would make it even more interesting for huge adoption as payment function.

That can change from 1% though but the fact remains that 100% of people all over the world cannot be using cryptocurrency and will remain using fiat either because they have no knowledge about cryptocurrency, they are too lazy to know further or they just do not care as long as they just like it physical.

Nevertheless, it is not like most banks are already running cashless policies anyway, so at the end of it all, we will still have some who just prefer going the traditional way.

Like you said, time will tell, however, a fork will always be a fork, but that does not mean it cannot still end up having some bit of usefulness in the community, even if it ends up as a shit coin as they all end up adding to the total market cap anyway. However, anything can happen, Litecoin is looking good and strong as well, so I do not see any reason why it should get dumped hugely for now, but like I said, time will tell, nothing is predictable in the crypto market.

Yes, you are a rebel as long as you have REBL. That name at first actually got my attention, but when I checked out the team and some of the achievements they have had, I decided to take a chance. Also, looking at the way they are really trying hard to build a community, with a pretty huge idea they have and devs ready to work, I am sure it is going to be promising to hold. aervin11, won't be bad being a rebel after all right ?

Anyone who is not taking this opportunity now is just going to end up messing up big time. The market looks a lot ready and I am sure right now, the big guys are already loading up and some who are not smart enough are still complaining or either waiting for a lower price to get in. Same way some people had the chance of $6000 and still did not buy in. It is always funny that the same way most people get greedy when the market dips is just the same way they get greedy when it starts rising.

Rumors are there just for the weak hands that need them. If you do not want to be one, then stop listening to those rumors and stick to whatever the chart tells you. Also, if you do not have an idea of interpreting the charts, then just hold or buy more when moments like this comes. However, do not over think the market will just rise up rapidly and if it does, lucky you, but you just have to let the market give the whole explanation.

Welcome to the groove bro where the DJ is always playing! Just love it, as there is really no need adding the hate to it. Sure, it can be crazy sleeping and waking up the next morning to see the market you are holding is down and you could have gotten out in the best time, but all the same, there is always a good side and bad side to everything.

The good side is that you cannot stop making money and you can make for as long as you want, the bad side is you are the only one who can make it a bad side and that is left to you just as you are depriving yourself of sleep and panicking unnecessarily.

Very risky which is the main reason why no one should ever gamble what they cannot afford to lose ?

Gambling is not a job where you get certain income at the end of it, the gambling owners make money from gamblers and not because you are playing some game on their site. If they wanted paying you for that, you would not even need to gamble with your funds in the first place.

There is nothing wrong with gambling as long as the gambler can consider it as fun and can decide to throw away some cash in the process or get lucky and anyone who thinks otherwise should not even be here.

It should not even be considered a source of income and I am sure most of the people who see it as such are even those with very little, and rather than build those little, they keep looking for quick ways to make money until they lose it all.

I even wonder where the whole idea of gambling as a source of income generated from. Also, the legality of gambling totally depends on the place where the gambler is domiciled and if there is any law against gambling itself, I am sure that would apply to crypto gambling as well and not just casino gambling.

I have seen someone who told me before that taking risk is like a game to them.
Funny enough this guy gambles for the fun of it, he is a rich business man, he applies his style of gambling into real life and he has never been addicted once.

It is funny though, but not everyone see it as such. Most people see gambling as a way to make more money and that is where the problem starts. When they now lose a lot, they try to be in the zone of gambling is fun, when truly they know that the idea of losing money is never fun.

I would not consider selling everything though. I can just advise him to at least take out half of each of the coins, take a little bit of it to find some new and upcoming project with prospects and take a chunk of it to start some nice cool business offline. There is something with offline business that at least will give you some rest of mind to keep seeing money coming in for you all the time. Crypto profit is good, but getting too greedy sometimes is not the way to go.

It all has to do with the regulation going on with ICOs in the US, and I have noticed it too as most US citizens are not allowed at least for now to participate in ICOs, except if you are lucky to find a viable project without KYC but as long as that is necessary, there is just nothing you can do about it.

Unless of course you have someone you can trust in another country, who you can transfer funds to, to invest in their name as someone already implied, asides that, I cannot think of anything else, except you relocate and become a citizen of another country.

In fact, greed is just the right word. A lot of people just keep expecting that the market will just recover and start with a bull run immediately. Same reason we ended up having a lot of FOMOs in the market that ended up giving up their position to the whales at the slightest panic. Well, probably, the OP should know that every day is not Christmas but what we have had enough is even enough for a new year bonus.

I expect this rise to be slow, the bulls are not doing a lot of work to convince the smart investors and from the look of things, nothing is sure yet. However, with respect to what you are referring to as stable again? I would like to ask in return. When has it ever been stable in the literal terms?

Yes, in fact, greed is what makes people to either see red as a problem except for those who are holding anyway. Most traders, who already know when to sell their position either at the top for profit without holding for too long and trying to get more profit, always have a chance to buy back into the market at a better value in the long run.

I have made quite some good bucks from the falling market, while still buying some for the long position for even much more profit. Each individual have their style, it is just always best to look at the good sides and make opportunity of every moment.

It cannot be centralized. Exchanges are centralized quite alright, but the main tech is not. That does not change anything about bitcoin or any of the other decentralized digital currency. I can still buy a house from you and pay in bitcoin at the exchange price without even the government knowing unless I just want to declare that myself, which obviously is not an issue for me anyway.

My point however is that, decentralization is still in play, but that is not a big threat to the government at least for now, since fiat is still in play with the exchanges, but for all of us to tolerate ourselves like you mentioned, this is really necessary at least for now.

A lot of people just listen to whatever they want to listen to.
Yes, what some of these guys do is to spread FUD, and this is mostly done by whales who want the weak hands to dump harder so they can get in better, but the problem is that we have a lot of weak hands in the market and these are the same people that act on these FUDs, panic and sell at loss. There has been a lot of positive news on this thread on reasons why people should hold, but it seems most people prefer the negative ones, which is why the media make a lot on negative news.

Oh, there we go again. I thought with the merits being introduced, some of these shit posts would have reduced a lot by now. How does this have anything to do with what the OP just asked? Gambling sites, really? For someone who is looking for where to buy a huge amount of bitcoin ?

Anyway, I will say the OP may not really get a definite answer here as it all depends on the country of location. However, there are several exchanges that can easily give out that amount as long as the person making the transaction is verified, otherwise localbitcoin or other P2P exchanges should be good enough to boycott the whole KYC idea but at your own risk.
