I've been doing the long term trading since I bought my first bitcoin because I don't have enough for day trading. Long term investment is also favored by the majority of the bitcoin holders who bought bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies mostly for hodl. The price of every quality coins have only two cycle: up and down, so if bitcoin suffered a drop, the bouncing back will follow in due time.

I think majority of the people around the world are still not aware of the cryptocurrencies while a significant percentage already knew about the bitcoin but don't have available internet to be able to use it. It is difficult to know the exact numbers of people that uses bitcoin unless a worldwide survey is launched. Here in my country, bitcoin is known only by people who have access to internet and the social media.

A beggar go to the street and beg for alms without a sweat. Bounty hunters have to work first before they get their tokens after many weeks of posting in this forum. A bounty hunter can't become like a beggar if they start to claim their tokens after for some weeks. Others are not so lucky to get their tokens because the bounty turned to scam. The present situation of the market will surely affects the distributions of tokens so expect a delay and try to have patience while waiting.

Same here, I believe bullrun will not going this year end because of the continuing bearish market. Bitcoin's price fall this week indicate that the growth for this year will not be like last year and the price might further fall before the recovery start next year. This year is not a time for another bullrun but accumulation and recovery might start only next year. December is a time for holiday and most people like to spend their money in gifts rather than in cryptocurrencies.

To be able to make it, your patience should withstand the test of time and challenges that always facing the crypto market. While you are waiting and wishing for the price of your cryptocurrency to go up, another nerve-wracking drop of bitcoin price suddenly happened this week that almost send you to panic, forgetting even your patience. This latest drop of price is just part of coin volatility and I believe that there is really a time for big crypto growth so just keep holding on and be patience.

Those who believe in the future of cryptocurrencies should remain unaffected whatever the current situations in the market. This year is probably not a time for another bullrun because I believe it will take  some years before it happen again. But there is still some upward price movements in the days even the market is bearish. Remain in hodl and buy more dips if you had more funds to spend.

Blockchain is a technology of the future and I believe that it will reolutionize or disrupt business, healthcare, banks and other industries. Blockchain-based cryptocurrencies will continue to exist because it offers alternative earnings to the people who have been looking for different kind of investment that are free from government controls.

Some merchants are starting to use cryptocurrencies particularly bitcoin in their transactions or mode of payments and even in some companies like airlines are already accepting coins. But bitcoin getting into the mainstream will take time because the majority of the people and the business sector has not fully acquainted with the new kind of currency that exist only in the online world.

Agreed because all governments want to control all things related to finance and their economies. Sometimes uncontrolled currency can affect their economy when it go out of hand and this is one of the reasons of banning it. Cryptocurrencies can't be control by any government but they can impose regulation on any centralized cryptocurrency exchangers instead to monitor the flow of the coins.

Cryptocurrencies have no definite months for their bullruns, it can happen any time of the year. The cryptocurrency market is generally bearish this year compared to last year where bullrun and ATH happened. Ethereum for example, reached its all-time high last January this year before going down to $200. The fourth quarter is nearing its end and the market is still in bearish mode with bitcoin experiencing some downtrend, I hope december will be different.

There are many predictions of possible bullrun at the end of this year but all of them might going to fail because there are still no clear sign of it. The price of the top cryptocurrency is still in bearish mode and might further go down in the coming days. Uptrend might start next year instead but if there are positive developments for the bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market. Hodl more to those who bought cryptocurrencies and buy more while the price is still low.

I think there is no such thing as alternative and unregulated paper money and only virtual currencies can be unregulated or decentralized. Any paper money or fiat that not issued by the government would be illegal and government will not even create any alternative money that beyond their control. In the older times, they used gold, silvers, porcelain and other goods in the barter trades because they have values even without government approval.

"Knowledge is power" and anyone who invest to acquire knowledge first will have the edge over the ones who seek profit first. Newbies and investors should educate themselves on how the cryptocurrency works and the market behavior to lessen, if not avoid, their losses in the future. Studying the cryptocurrencies take time but it worth effort because you will know what to do instead of getting into panic mode when cryptocurrencies and the whole market suffers another price crash.

Any cryptocurrency that will be issued by the government will surely centralized and bring more benefits to the government. A national currency like the dollar or yen can be developed into cryptocurrency by its government, same like ripple, to match the growing popularity of bitcoin and other well known blockchain-based virtual currencies. Government-issued virtual currency can manipulated by the central bank to stabilized its prices like the ordinary fiat.

Cryptocurrency will never be stable because it is the most volatile among the currencies. Their prices might stay at some point but it is only temporary depending on the market demands of the coin. Demands and developments also make the price of every cryptocurrency and tokens unstable so it is impossible for the price not to go up or down.

All kind of tradings gives you stress because it involves your hard earned money. Frequent stress can damage your health so it better to take precations before you start to trade. The fear of losing is one of the major reasons of stress so all you have to do is to set aside extra money that you are not afraid to lose. If you are still a newbie, your fear will be greater than the experienced ones so it better to practice tradings first and gain experience.

Ethereum is not only the one that is experiencing price downtrend, many of the coins like bitcoin is also on dip. The whole crypto market is mostly bearish since bitcoin start its slide at the part of the year but I believe it get better soon. The dip on ethereum price is only temporary but its developers is always active in seeking ways to further improve the coin in the future.

No one can "kill" a decentralized cryptocurrency unless people and investors stop supporting it. China is already open to bitcoin after one of their court ruled in favor of the cryptocurrency. Strict regulations can only prevent people from buying or selling bitcoin temporarily but it won't stop people for looking some alternative exchange to buy cryptocurrencies. The so called conspiracy theory is often use to sow doubt and spread panic to the people even it is not true or not yet proven.

There are some ways to become rich or wealthy by means of bitcoin but it will not be overnight. Trading and long term investment are two of the best strategies to earn profits in using bitcoin or in any other cryptocurrency. Trading bitcoin is risky and you need to become expert before you manage to earn signicant profits. Long term investment is only for investors that have a patience for long term waiting. There other kinds of investment that use bitcoin like joining ICO but you must be careful on this type of investment because there are more scams than legitimate ones.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are intangibles and they are only existing in the cyberworld or internet so it hard to convince them at first unless they open their minds to basic explanation. This is one of many reasons why some people are still afraid to buy cryptocurrencies. While all kinds of investments are risky, cryptocurrencies are the riskiest of them.
