There is a difference between bitcoin losing it s value and bitcoin losing its value totally. Losing its value is totally expected in anything that is volatile and that is one feature we just have to deal with and no one and no one can have an idea what tomorrow will hold for it or even the next minute.

The little sharp drops to me seems more like loosing of value as well, not until it crashed. However, losing its value totally is something that is not possible unless we all dump and say we do not want to use again.

A little expensive it is to buy a bitcoin at the present moment indeed !
No matter how tempting the future value of bitcoin is but still affording a whole BTC at the present time is nearly impossible for majority of the interested ones that is why I suggest a middle way to such people. Bitcoin is a digital currency and the concept of fractions is valid here. So buy bitcoin with small amounts and treat this step.

Finally, a good time for all the altcoiners has arrived and now we will be watching good increments in the prices of all famous altcoins.

The best is to invest in Ethereum because it will make some real progress. It can give profit of few dollars by the end of this year for sure. This is a golden chance for making profits but the cost must not be paid by selling out bitcoin as we all know this is a temporary change.

Indeed, the golden time of altcoins is coming because the new bitcoin forks is about to show his presence very soon in the market. Some people are thinking it as a game changer while others take it as a descendant of BCC, which was not really a good performer. However, there is no deny in the fact that the altcoins will be gaining value soon and now is the time to invest in them but I strongly advice to not sell out bitcoin for this purpose.

Controlling emotions and limiting gambling hours all these are possible for any gambler only after many frustrating gambling moments. I mean to say gamblers will learn all these techniques only after experiencing many gambling problems. The losses , we are facing from gambling definitely will make us to learn some lessons to avoid future losses and problems.

When a gambler is failing to learn these lessons then definitely they are gambling problems will persist.

You are bit confusing. Still I understand you are trying to ask how to stop gambling after getting addicted and why addicted gamblers keep gambling even after many big losses.

Stopping gambling after getting addicted to it, will be literally impossible for anyone but we can prevent gambling addictions by safeguarding ourselves through practicing some measurements. Addiction is the main reason why gamblers keep going for it even they are losing every day. In my opinion no one can find better ways to stop gambling hence gambling will never end.

Mostly many of the peoples here save bitcoins for their future and are really eager to wait for their bright future including me. Also I am expecting a lot from bitcoins and also I am working hard to own some coins for my future.

Bitcoins can truly make our future stable and we can depend on them as previously we saw a good example about this when the peoples who bought their bitcoins in 2009 and sold them in the year 2016-2017 with a huge profit making their life stable without any financial obstacle. The same is now expected by many of us and that will surely be worth it in the future.

We do not yet pay taxes for bitcoins directly but indirectly we do pay taxes for bitcoins. You truly mentioned a correct statement that we always need to pay the VAT for any commodity we purchase and the VAT here is nothing but TAX. We can't use bitcoins directly as a currency and always we need to change them to fiat and then use it.

For converting it to fiat, we always need some tax at least to deposit or withdraw the amount from our bank account. That tax indirectly goes to the government without actually knowing what it is for. I think, in future as bitcoins will be made legal, they will be applied with heavy taxes as the profits in bitcoins are great.

It is really funny some newbie traders do not really understand the importance of stop loss and then they keep watching as the trend keeps bleeding until they have realized they have lost so bad and now want to sell at that point.

Shits get real when you are losing but loosing extremely bad is always the trader's fault. However, there is no point selling for anyone with a huge loss now, than to look for more funds to buy in more at dips and compensate the losses they have had when the dips come back better.

That sometimes can even still be a challenge. There are so many times just like recently that I thought the prices had fallen and stable and then after buying, they kept falling down the more. The thing is that the market is unpredictable, and sometimes you just have to wait for a while to be sure the coast is clear and the dumping activities have reduced before you step in, then that stage, you can just relax and watch the next level of huge profit you end up having.

Bittrex for me has always been the best place to trade without issues, the platform is very smooth and the support is good. Most people who started complaining recently are those who registered on bittrex after the fork and they are being asked to verify their accounts first to continue which I did not really see as a major problem for someone to do. The only issue I just had with that was not telling people before just closing their accounts.

That is not even a risk. Why would a correction be a risk when it is usually the best time for anyone who would want to get in to even buy more.

Getting to another height is also not a risk and the only thing that makes bitcoin risky is just the market FUD which could cause huge drop in price which could make a weaker hand panic and sell at loss while the stronger ones buy back or probably the whole government worldwide decided to declare war against bitcoin which I do not really see the possibility of that anytime soon or in the nearest future.

It is really great and this is the kind of development that we want which would even make the whole bitcoin ecosystem stay even more relevant as we keep moving on. The demand will really soar high from this news among the Philippines and will also keep sending message to other part of the world and nearby countries until one day we see that the recognition and adoption is worldwide.

Well, you should not always look at what others say and stick with what you believe. What do you believe ?
Bitcoin is already on the verge of being adopted globally and that alone is enough to discard most of the news you hear about it crashing hugely.

Definitely, anything can happen and we can see a huge dump but that depends on how much support is for the community and trust me, you would not want to dump your coins for the whales at this stage if you are smart cause they are looking for every means to be in control and buy more once you dump.

It totally depends on what we are looking at as investment. Are you leaving your cash in the hands of someone to make it work for you while you earn a certain percentage on it while the person takes the risk or you are the one using the money to work yourself while you take the risk.

These are basically like the same thing but just that one can earn you more with more risks, while one can earn you less with lesser risk or probably even more risk of the person holding your funds disappearing.

Most especially now that the cloud is still not pretty clear with the upcoming fork. Almost all the people are still a bit scared to opt into altcoin yet with the fear of it still being dumped the more. I have a pretty feelings that some of them will still be pumped though, but for some already holding it, those pumps are just the best time to dump and buy more in the upcoming dip before the next fork.

Electroneum has pretty much been doing a huge job behind the scenes as well as some pretty good marketing which makes me so eager to see how this turns out. I just downloaded their mobile app recently to see how the whole mobile mining will turn out to be anyway. Nothing is not worth trying these days and you may be surprised with the whole lot of hype going on with the project.

That article was sponsored anyway so I would not have banked on that in the first place since almost all ICOs do that for marketing. However, it was a nice read and looking at their team though, I would not really have much to say.

It is best you do your findings diligently before investing and see how feasible the project may end up being in the market anyway at the long run. From my own angle anyway, I may not really invest unless the company comes out with a solid information why they really need a crowdfunding in the first place for a project like that.

Certainly gold has been known for a very long time, it is considered as a safe asset and apparently, you can still make use of it for other things while you bank on the value in the long run. Hence it will still remain a favorite one way or the other. However, with the value of bitcoin and the benefit it has brought, knowing that it is still early and there is more chance for it to grow, investors have really started shifting their attentions and before you know it, BOOM!

Exactly we all here are happy and everyone who is connected with bitcoin is happy too. The price rise is so amazing that I remember a month ago when price was just $3500, people were talking about bitcoin price crossing $5000 in the end of year. But see, it has crossed almost $6000 right now. And still 2 months are up to end the year. Bitcoin is amazingly growing and we are happy.
