Your worlds comes from reasonable mind, but bitcoin price doesn`t move reasonable. Many people saw last year rise and they believe it can happen this year too, I doubt in that like you do, at least 1-3 years waiting, maybe more. After peak in 2013 people waited 4 years for big comeback, maybe we will have to wait 4 years too.
Hope has nothing with bitcoin, people hope for miracles and bitcoin is not a miracle its technology.

How many similar threads there are? How many times we wrote don`t worry, don`t panic, but first drop and newbies start to make such threads with questions is it the end?!
I think someone should put a ban on creating this kind of topics, someone to delete them when ever they appear. We wrote same things when ever bitcoin drops, and bitcoin goes up and down all the time, many times we see rise for 1,000$ and in the evening drop for 1,000$.
Who have money is buying in this dips, who doesn`t have money cry about bitcoin end again and again.

I like to call this topics `one more newbie with great plan` how to make a lot of money, lets scam gamblers they believe in luck more then others, its easy to trick them. Maybe this scam scheme worked before 50 years or more, but not any more, or I like to believe in that.
Its always the same, why would they ask for some cheap money if they have so big experience and they are so lucky in gambling? There is no reason for that, when someone is promising big money it smells on scam right away, and in 99% its scam. I like that all people recognized this scammer and put him on the right place.

Its like that, its always about time period, it cant happen over night. That is where most investors fall or lose enthusiasm, they expect everything to happen very fast. Blockchain is here only for a short time, it will take time before blockchain get fully into economy, it will happen one day, its going in that direction, blockchain is taking part by part of it, and I think it will conquer all economy one day, it will change it from the roots.

This sounds very nice, cash-back for trips, good way to attract people, along with cheaper prices for the whole trip. You will need a huge network, this project needs to be huge, how else to connect all travel services on one platform. It can make things much easier I understand that, hard part will be in realization of this idea. Reaching soft cap is first great step, it will be very interesting to watch further progress of this projects cause it can be really huge!

Its hard to make that difference in the very beginning. They all start with big plans, but organizing community its difficult task for all of them. I want to say even if everything looks great its still a risk. There were good bounties and there will be good bounties, good research helps a lot but there is not guarantees that bounty will be successful in the end.
I`m in my first bounty with Bitcoin 2, before that I participated only in bitcoin signature campaigns. I will see for few months how good my choice was!

Bitcoins, litecoin, ethereums, doges, dollars, euros mostly. Depends on what`s interesting for me, I play dices with many altcoins just for fun, for poker I use bitcoins and dollars mostly, I don`t know any poker that accepts other altcoins, I don`t count new coinpoker here they accept ethereum from recently.
Its nice to try everything, why not. Gambling is fun and gambling with different altcoins can be fun if you like to play dices. Fact is that now many casinos accepts many altcoins, before that wasn`t like that, crypto gambling is growing, and it`s not matter what you use its important that you enjoy in gambling.

What you just said? Can you explain yourself!?
Low transaction fees are good for all of us who use bitcoins, but what you know when you never paid 2 mbtc transaction fee when price was over 15,000$. And what traders have with high fees? They suffered too, more then others, they need to transfer bitcoins all the time here and there, they pay more fees then others.
Fees are normal again, thanks God! That is great for all of us, now we can use bitcoins normal like before the rise! To send bitcoins where ever we wish for almost free, that was the point of bitcoin in the first place, cheap and reliable transactions!

I`m joining in congratulations, its not a small thing to reach soft cap in so big competition this days. Its nice that team already have resources to continue with their work on platform and alpha version. This is going to be very interesting project.
They will need huge marketing after alpha version, they need to attract many people to try their platform. For success its all about strong community, if smart trip platform achieve that great future is guaranteed!

I don`t remember the name of the last week contest winner, I said in telegram group too, they should post the winning picture for everyone to see. It`s good marketing, as I said you should have that contest everywhere, here, on twitter, facebook, telegram, why not? I will participate this week to, I will make some pictures this days, week just started.

Governments can`t hold bitcoin price stable, it can be done just if you control supply and demand on the market. With so many bitcoin traders that buy and sells bitcoin 24/7 we can`t expect to have stable bitcoin price. Maybe this price movement is so interesting for people, everyone thinks first that its easy to make money with buying in dips when price is down and later to sell on top when price is up, of course its much more complicated than that, but people get interested in learning about bitcoin like that.

Its going to be tough fight for the first place. Before it was just bitcoin, now its bitcoin or ethereum, in couple years how many more coins will join in battle for the first place? Competition is hard, people have different tastes when it comes to crypto, what will happen in few years nobody can say.
People like to bet on winners, but here if you have bitcoin, ethereum and other coins every possible situation is a win win situation for us, so let them fight for the first place, while they do that prices will growing, and its all that is matter for us crypto lovers.

You need to have 5,000$ for risking, everything else on a side, but this money you plan to use for trading can bring profit or not, its not something you count on. In my country 10$ is usual daily paycheck for most jobs, so making 10$ with trading can be a lot of money for people in my country. I don`t earn 5,000$ for the whole year, how can I risk my salary for entire year in trading?
For trading like for gambling you need money you can afford to lose, for some that is 10$ for others that can be 10,000$, don`t measure yourself by others do what`s best for your financial situation.

With bitcoin news its always like that, we never get to see full picture, just parts here and there, and its on us to connect all the pieces together. Good or bad news, I think good as long as they spell bitcoin correctly, old rule. Japanese will regulate bitcoin as they want, US in some other way, China will deal with bitcoins in some third way, European Union will do something different, each country has its own laws and regulations, same will be with using bitcoins or other cryptocurrencies in specific country.

Its still a slave cause we need to sell bitcoins for some fiat if we want to pay for something. Fiat have big roots, it will be hard to eradicate it from global structures and even harder from some peoples minds. As years passing I think we are going in a good direction, fiat will not be used in near of far future, we will be able to do everything with cryptocurrencies, and when that time comes it will be the end of fiat. If you are looking things in that way fiat already began to sink down, cryptocurrencies are spreading and taking more and more, eventually cryptocurrencies will take all.
This is a nice headline, bitcoin is still a slave, but who ever starts from slavery, bottom, and end up on top deserves respect, think about it.

That depends from from many factors, skill is something you learn, but someone learn faster then others, some people have talent for numbers and calculating, some are simply lucky. Anyone who wish to master trading should practice a lot, and to follow what some expert traders do. Its the best way for learning, but how much time will need someone to master it can be calculated. We can claim what ever, many start with trading but they will never master it.

To me its more benefit, risks? I met with risks but nothing different from the real life! Bottom line can be its different for each of us, some are good in everything, others don`t have luck, in everything there are people who couldn`t handle the pressure.
Find your own path, or make one, don`t trust others, try everything. What kind of risks we had when most of the time we waited price to rise and it did, now we wait again, find something for fun until price rise, is that risk?

Its not the rule, but cause most of the investors and bounty hunters dump their tokens on first exchange that accepts them, price falls, its like that with almost all icos, I don`t know any ico that hold the same price from the start. Its like that with icos, with bitcoin and altcoins the best time for selling is when prices are on top, if you can catch tops for selling and later you buy at bottom you buy when prices are on bottom you will make high profit. Its difficult to catch tops and bottoms, if you sell or buy close to them you will make significant profit.
I`m here 3 years almost, prices hit all times high and drop after that, then prices take a break and after some time they hit new all times high again. Its trading, more profit you make if you sell on ath and buy back at the bottom, how to do that is just practice, nothing more.

Why would you transfer your money to fiat account and be charged with many fees, when you can use USDT, now there is same with euros I think, I don`t remember the shortcut for that coin that represent real value of euro, like usdt is always the same value as dollar.
This threading method is nothing new, shortage I think. You can do that if you can predict tops and bottoms, but who can do that this days? Just few people, other always end up with cutting loses and lose what they had.
I don`t recommend this trading method to newbies, this is for people who have funds for buying and selling, people with experience in trading, and people with time to follow all day changes on the market.

There are too many similar threads in here that is true, people ask same questions over and over again. Lazy people can`t scroll trough bitcoin discussions and take a look on other similar threads, its easier to open a new topic I guess.
Bitcoin is already regulated, that is correct. Governments can do a bit more then just regulating exchanges, they can regulate many things. It will be interesting to see the outcome of that, there are many countries in this world, every country will do something, what will they do will be a surprise for everyone.
I don`t care about that, as you said, users will be free to send it, to use wallets without ID, there will always be a way for us to access free internet and to use bitcoins freely like we do now, what ever governments do.

Why to search more when you have litecoin, first behind bitcoin. If you are not aware of litecoin you can follow owner on twitter and to see what kind of guy he is, he donated all his litecoin and now he works for litecoin for love, at least he says that and argue with people about it, you can believe in that or not.
Litecoin is stable altcoin, they now have litepay, they are going up in price and their community is growing fast. There are stable altcoins, what is monero, zcash, they are all good coins, with very active teams and communities, there are many more, they just need more supporters, believe it or not that will come with time, so invest now while prices are not so high!
