Good time to buy and it's good you are happy with what you did. Nevermind the amount; there's no big or small investment. The moment you've engaged to investments, it takes courage 'coz not everyone will do it for the sake of seeking profit. It is a small step to some but on another point of view, it is a big step towards profit seeking attitude or behavior. Continue learning new things; there are other ways to make your investment bigger, you just have to learn and choose which one would best suit you as an investor.

Also be open for ups and downs on your first investment. The nature of the market value of cryptos, is volatile. There are periods wherein a particular trend is evident which I believe you are aware already (hoping that you really are because it is the conflict for the new investors out there).

Reverse FUD? But certainly, the market industry is a bit more noisy lately compared to previous months so there is a possibility for an upward motion. I just doubt that it will be continuous but aleast there are chances for positive signs to again be seen in this industry.
On my end,  it was never easy to earn profit from this industry which is full of uncertainties especially when I was just new in crypto world. I had a hard time coping with strategies and how this thing works. But since I am seeking for profit, I struggled but I somehow get a good grasp of it. I've seen many dumps and pumps in this market so I think I got used of seeing these  situations.

It is not FUD if there is a possibility. It just depends on the audiences on how will they react to that possibility. If they would panic then that would be the time it would be called FUD. But if more people will take it lightly, it won't be a bad thing. Bottomline is to spread awareness about the nature of this industry. Downfalls are just normal and is nothing to be worried of not unless the money you've invested is an amount you cannot afford losing. The fundamentals of investment. The reason why FUD became FUD because people are lacking knowledge on how investment and this industry in general works.
Other investors would be even excited if ever the market value reaches such point because for them, that is a huge opportunity to invest and let their money rest with it. Things are simple; if you cannot endure seeing the market, then sell and quit.

You may do scalping or short term investment with different tokens but it won't be as easy as it may sound. You'll need to invest in knowledge first but that won't require you a monetary initial investment. That would only require you time and ofcourse devotion with what you will try to learn. There are many learning materials and best ones are videos demonstrating and sharing ideas. You may follow Marvin Favis, MoneyZg and the likes (not sponsored;just to name some) to know more of the fundamentals. In trading, it won't require you huge amount of money, and there will also be risks involved (which is normal). There are no easily earned money especially in this industry, you need to work hard for it. You may also join communities which will also help you grow and discover other ways to earn profit not only in trading.

Are you aware that people have different situations living in? Hwta if an investor bought 1 BTC and because of the high inflation rate we are currently experiencing, he ran out of money (just an example). Would he be wrong for selling his asset because he is in need to do so? It is right to call the investor a chicken if he needs to do what's necessary to make a living? We have our own battles, so never conclude. Ofcourse it would be ideal to hold at thid moment and avoid selling but there are times in our lives which will push us to go out of our plans.

Those who would be able or those who can afford seeing this bearish market trend should hold in order to not make the loss permanent. Indeed 1BTC=1BTC. If you won't sell at a low price there is still a chance to make profit. But once you sell, profit will be permanent on that investment.But we should gauge other factors as well.

Things have manifested over years. There is still an impression that there's an easy money in this industry well in fact there's not. The market value of cryptos are naturally volatile. While to those who are experienced ofcourse they would have ways to generate profit but for those who are new in this industry, it would take months or even more than a year in order to generate profit from investing into it.
World leaders? cryptocurrency? Do you know how long since Bitcoin and other cryptos are even created? Up until now, cryptocurrency or this industry in general is still not widely accepted across countries which contradicts OP's claim that world leaders before started crypto engagement.

During market crash, I limit my capital to invest. Some investors especially bigger ones, would go all out during down
times because that is indeed a good time to invest edpecially if you have the money to invest and somehow 'forget' your money without being anxious about it, you'll just let it "sleep" in your wallet. Given that I have limited resources, I plan any amount that I will invest in order to be more precised with my investment and ofcourse to generate profit. Also factors such as circumstances would matter. It  could either limit the amount you can afford losing in an investment or boost you to go all out. Unfortunately we have different circumstances. FUD or not, if you are lacking resources you would be hesistant with your actions for sure.

Eitherways would be profitable. But if you have not that much of a capital, go for short term 'coz long term investment with Bitcoin would require you huge amount of patience given that the market value is volatile, it won't always be uptimes. But also, short term investment required a more precise technical analysis because the market price behavior is changing almost time to time. You need to be cautious of when should you sell and buy to generate profit.
Easiest way is to engage with long term investment because it would require you less time of engagement. The only downside is that the market price of bitcoin will not continuously increase in a rapid rate, therefore profit won't be constant.

Being discussed as a sub topic, yes, but as a main subject? What for? It has nothing much of a contribution to the curriculum. Indeed it is a profitable investment but it won't contribute to your academe, let us deparate that. On economics class or some related subj, it could be used as an example as an asset. There are many forms of investments but why do you guys think only a few (yes including real estate properties), were brought up? Because not all investments are beneficial to the society. Bitcoin at this moment is volatile and free of tax, how will it contribute then?  It has advantages as a currency indeed but let us be realistic.

To society, it is still nothing much but as an alternative currency. But to investors, it is one of the most profitable asset. We have different perspectives and it is just normal for 'usual' individual to view this technology as something which is either risky or just profitable. Not all people would be interested enough to learn its nature and its advantages as a currency. In fact, Butcoin and other cryptos or this industry in general are still not acknowledge to most of the countries for a reason. One day, once it is recognized by more people, that would be the time wherein it would matter more than what it is, at the moment.

Used , indeed but not widely on those countries. Perhaps in Philippines, there are small businesses which accepts this currency as a mode of payment but not all proprietorship would do the same because they are scared of the risks involved by doing so, and we cannot blame them for that. Maybe it is still too early for this industry. It will still undergo development as years would go by.

Most of the projects are falling during bear market but good ones somehow survives. Maybe it has something to do with the relation of Investors' interest to the market behavior. Whenever the market behavior is downwards, investors are also careful investing their money to projects because it might grab their money down as well. Often, investors are only investing to huge projects which they believe has the potential to follow the uprise movement once bullish trend occur. Well, some investors are still up on choosing projects that might be profitable despite of the market situation. Although most of the projects are failing, atleast there are some which are succeeding. Best ones, I believe.

ICOs are only a small part of a project's promotional strategy. This platform is merely for crypto users and outside platforms are for non-crypto users.

Not until your invested money is always on red marks. Let's be real. No matter how we convince people to just continue holding, invest more while the market is still down, and other gas lighting actions, an investor would be sad seeing the market right now. Supports were broken as its price falls deep. Ofcourse some choose to give up because they are scared to lose more so basically they are trying to cut the losses. Is it the right thing to do? If you are not on the same circumstances as them, for sure you'd say he did a mistake, but if you feel his/her struggle, you'd understand why that investor chose to cut down the partial loss. Investments are simply not for everyone; it requires a lot amount of patience to succeed.

Decades,I guess.
Online payments have emerged, but fiat still has its physical form. I doubt that it would be cryptocurrencies to replace its physical form, but rather fiat as online payments. Like how other people or users in this forum have mentioned, there is always a higher tendency for crypto and fiat to co-exist in the economy, than cryptocurrency alone because of regulation issues. We cannot force it because this industry has a different nature than typical currencies being used on a daily basis.

But look on governments' end; why would they use a sydtem of currency which will prohibit them to tract the transactions given that it is blockchain we are talking about? That's why I see blurry vision of this one. However things are subjectfor changes as long as there is a progressive development in general.

Hard to say 'coz if this is the future, there will be a lot of changes to makes especially with different countries' acknowledgement of this technology. There is a higher tendencu for fiat and cryptocurrencies to co-exist in the future rather than Bitcoin and other coins alone. If this would be the main medium of payment, governments will have no access of every situation not to mention this technology being not prone to taxation, which could be issues for future implementation. So I don't think so.

Indeed. Stability of market value is a must when it comes to a mode of payment to be used on a daily basis. If the value of the currency moves from time to time, what would happen to local markets then? They can indeed announce a fixed price but during highs, investors won't surely use their holdings to purchase a cabbage (just an example).

Well we cannot say it is a wrong thing to do especially if you have bigger trust with others' knowledge of this game. It is fine as long as you are ready for the consequences. There is only one goal, which is to earn profit in gambling and that includes disregarding who played for your end. In such method, you'll have less enjoyment, so if you're okay with that then feel free to do so if you are really that eager to win. On my end since I am not a hard bettor, I prefer playing and creating my decisions alone 'coz even if I lose with my predictions, atleast I have enjoyed it a little more than asking which team should I bet my money with.
Well, we cannot blame those users who are using this method. Studying or learning something would consume huge amount of time and money as well('coz you won't be able to start right off the bat). I'd say this is a smart way more of a "if you cannot beat them, join them" idea. Regardless of the method, what's important is to fulfill your goal (either to enjoy solely or make profit).

Emotion is I think different from addiction, it is more of a drive. People or players to be more specific, are having a hard time to quit or dtop gambling because they are addicted into it. Whether it is frustration, regret, joy, or anger; once you are dragged of continuous playing, you'll have difficulties stopping that behavior. Emotions are just contributors of addiction and this is simply the danger of gambling we should all be aware of. And to those new players out there, set limits or know your limits first before engaging to this activity. A loss would be temporary but the time you have spent; lacking attention to more important things, will be permanent.
That is already a feeling; excitement and enjoyment. But what is being talked about here us something deeper than that. It is a battle between what you feel when you are playing and what keeps or pushes you to play.

Still surprised?
We've been here for years, definitely we saw lower market value of it. Sell if you must but hold if you can.

It is money we are talking about here, ofcourse there will be investors who would react if it is regarding their invested money. There's still more than a month for the market prices to somehow go up but I doubt this period would be enough for the market prices to fully recover. Let us just hope that its market value won't be at its lowest wherein Bitcoin, as the mother token, will be having a hard time to get a foot back.
Possible especially if the situation will continue or worse, to be worse. Patterns are still blurry at this point which is why there is somewhat of a commotion on investors' end whether to sell temporarily or to endure the pain of seeing how big your losses become.

Whose plan then? Whales? Government? It is evident that this industry is also affected with high inflation rate and economic crisis we are currently experiencing.
It is really a good time to buy especially if you have the money to do so. But if you don't wait for the right time; when there is a continuous upward motion in the market value of cryptos.

This is a bad scenario especially for the small ones out there. It will be hsrd for them to endure the market crash at the moment. We've been through this countless times but why does it still have the same reaction? People panic. To be aware of what is happening is a good thing but to be eaten and pressure by it, is not. FUD or not, be mindful of your actions as an investor. Don't be too risky and don't be to anxious about the market situation. Atleast try to ease down, and take priorities if necessary.

An economic recession is the increase with unemployment due to the decline on economic activity. So how come Bitcoin would aid this problem? Most of the people will have no job ef there is a recession, so when would they get money to invest in cryptocurrencies? Also, would it be an assured profit? Ofcourse not. It could either bring temporary food on their tummy or leave them in huge debt from enduring market downfall. Many people are confused with how investment and this industry in general works. There's still that stigma that once you've invest not only in bitcoin but also other tokens, you'll earn profit easily. Think of how many investors gave up and reflect why did they quit if it is an easy money.

Government won't introduce Bitcoin to their people during recession. This technology is free of tax, governments won't make use of it. Even if they would use third party wallet or banks accepting cryptocurrencies, do you think investors would comply using that 'bridge'? There are other ways to get their money from this industry. For sure they'll avoid being taxed by the government, which closes the idea or tendency for such plan to work.

Most of the tokens are indeed increasing but I doubt with just theowing your money in random tokens. There will be an increase indeed, but small tokens would still be for short term investments, meaning you cannot just allow your money to rest  on it without needing to pull it out at a certain price point.
Yes there are ways to earn profit even on bearish trends but it requires hard earned skills to do that. Technical analysis id not something that will be learned within a week, there's more to that, unless you've met people who shares their TA.

Many people are easily carried away by bull market which created the idea and tangled it with cryptocurrency such as "easiesy way to be rich". There are no easy way, period. You always have to make a decision in every market behavior.
