Normally, investment for volatile markets are for long term investments. It is hard and stressful to get profit from volatile markets. You do short term to more stable markets like bonds. But for volatile markets like equity and crypto, it is long term and it is profitable to do it that way. That is why most people here will say that you hodl your bitcoin even when it is down.

100$ range in change of price is just normal for bitcoin. We cannot assume that the price has already bottom or it is about to move up. I think we will see more of this price range for a long time. It is still a correction period in my opinion.

Somebody has already did a website where he listed all the private keys but it will still take a lot of computing power to run through all the keys and search keys with some bitcoin in it. It is still impossible right now (with the current computing power) to do a brute force of all the keys.

It will be very hard for them to know if you own bitcoin or not, unless you are announcing it to the world. Transactions are almost anonymous and hard to track. Avoid centralized exchange that requires KYC and you will be fine. Good luck to them tracking every address in the blockchain just to find you.

Luck plays its part but there is also skills needed to be a successful trader. You seems to view trading as gambling but in fact there are tools you can use and skills to learn to be more successful in it. Do not rely on luck but hone your skills and you will see better profit.

I think that it is bad idea to think that something will not be replaced. That will just mean that something will be stagnant and not develop anymore. Technology develops fast and things get outdated one way or another. I think, it is the same with bitcoin. It is a great technology but there will always be better as time goes by. That is how technology advances. The old is replaced by something new and better. I think bitcoin is not immune to that. Maybe in the next 10 years, bitcoin will still be number 1 but there will be something new that will be developed that will overthrow and replace bitcoin someday.

I think the same op. It has been a steady rise since last week and I think that is a good sign that we are about to  enter the bull season. If nothing bad happens or any FUD news arise, this will continue to rise. It has been a long bear season and I am just glad that it is almost over. I think if it gets above 10K, it will start a new hype that will push the price higher.

I would not state an exact amount because you cannot really tell with bitcoin how much it can grow in a year. But the good thing is, after a long bear season, the price is finally starting to rise. And if we use the rate at how it soared last year, it may be more than 25K by the end of the year. That is if the same burst happen this year. But I do not see it right now. It is just a steady pace up, so 25 K maybe hard to reach if the pace don't pick up.

You should check the ico rating of the ICO if it is safe or not. It should have at least above 3 rating. You should also check the ratings of the team and compare ratings with other rating sites. If it is good then you can go ahead. But it is still a risk even if an ICO have a good ratings. You can only lower the risk by checking ratings and choosing the campaigns managed by a reputable manager.

I am actually trying out bountyhive just to see if their system really works and if they are paying fairly. They have the budget on the page where you sign in for work and you can also see how many have joined. So I can have an estimate how much I will be receiving at the end of the bounty. If I think I am receiving fair amount, I would continue using it. If not, then I'll quit and would let everybody know it.

If you cannot even risk your own money, how can you persuade others into investing into you. Members here already seen a lot of scammers and they won't fall easily.

You can take the money from your forex background and invest it in crypto. Make it grow, then show your results. Maybe then, you can have some investors put money into you.

It is not suppose to make you rich anyway, it is made to keep your money safe. If you want to get rich, start a business and a passive income. Anything that makes you money even with minimal time spent can make you more money that keeping it in a bank. That is why it is always advised to put money on investments like stocks, mutual funds, assets and in here, bitcoin and altcoins.

Is there a way they could implement kyc on wallets? If the wallets are not based on EU then they will not comply with that regulation.

KYC on exchanges should be because there are lots of movements of money in there. But KYC on wallets os an overkill.

Why do you have to wait til it gets green before you buy? The time for buying is when the market is down, not when it is up. When it is up, it is already profit taking and selling of coins. You can always buy if you want, it still can get higher. But if it does not get higher, please do not complain if you get trapped.

Actually when the chart turns red is the perfect time to get in and invest. It is buy time. Right now, the price is recovering and on the way up. It is the start of profit taking, there may still be space for new investors but I would be wary. I would wait for the price to settle and see where it will be heading before putting some money.

That is what I do not like with the site as well. You cannot track your progress with the campaigns they are running and there is a great chance that you will be disappointed of the token you'll get because you do not know how many stakes you are getting each week you work. I am giving this signature a try for it will just run for a month. IF it does not pay well, I'll quit from the site.

Don't get too hyped yet. It is a good start, but it is still too early to say that it is a bull trend. Let it run for a few more days and see if it does not revert.

I am excited for a bull run, but I want to be sure that I am excited on the real bull run. I hope this one don't disappoint in the end.

The price of altcoins are just being pulled by the price of bitcoin right now. Unless the altcoin you hold does noe increase in satoshi value, it means nothing to your alt. Just hope that bitcoin will sustain this upward trend, so it may affect the alt and hope alts will make a run of its own.

I am just happy that it starts to bounce back. It is bound to happen anyway. The bitcoin market has been depressed for too long now, and maybe the consolidation or correction is over. Time to move up again. I hope the trigger happy people don't start dumping again so the market can sustain this trend.

Why not, if it will help them. But the question is, do these indigenous people will know how to use bitcoin or cryptocurrency. It will be useless to give them something that they do not know how to use. It is better to give them something they can use. For charitable organizations, if they accept bitcoin or crypto for donations, I am willing to part from my bitcoins.
