Panic selling is just one of the factors that contributes to the drop of bitcoin price and this happen when an investor sell his bitcoin to avoid further loss of investment. But the contribution of panic selling is insignificant if you compare it to the other factors like government action against the cryptocurrencies, price manipulation by whales, hacking of a major cryptocurrency exchange and FUD.

I prefer long term instead of short term. There many coins that are good for long term investment because they have the capability to grow after holding for months or years. Bitcoin and ethereum are just two of the best bets for long term hold. If you plan to hodl some coins then always make a research first on any coin that you want to buy to make sure that you'll get the best coin.

It will take more years before ethereum overtake bitcoin if it is really capable. Ethereum must grow leaps and bounds to be able to match bitcoin's growth for the past several years. Aside from ethereum, there are also some solid coins that shows potential to become frontrunner in cryptocurrency world.

I've been holding ethereum because it one of the best bet for long term hold. Ethereum's potential for sure growth has been proven when it price reached past the $1000 late last year. Another one is EOS, one of the most promising altcoins might also higher price before the end of this year. EOS is a blockchain based OS and the technology behind it is seem solid. The price of EOS is already reached $15 and still on uptrend.

For now, I chose bounty over investment because it does not require money to join. Joining signature and social bounties will reward you some tokens later that you can use to trade for profit. But not all bounties are legitimate, several of them are not successful in their campaign and other became scams so it better to make a research on any bounty before joining them.

The price of the ethereum continue to go up as of this time and this trend might stay in the next few days. This present price of ethereum is still below the previous high so it still good or ok to invest. Many investors are looking for another ethereum price surge but this might in the last quarter so it better to buy and hodl it. Ethereum is one of the best cryptocurrency for long term investment and you will surely make profit when it price rise up.

I'll simply hold my coins and wait for the coin market to recover. Having a good mindset will help prevent making some drastic moves like panic selling in the midst of falling prices in the market. The price cycle of every cryptocurrency is still the same, uptrend is always followed by downtrend, so always expect a recovery even if there is a prolonged bearish market.

It is not advisable for me to encourage any friend or family to invest in cryptocurrency unless they are already well-inform on the possible risks that associated  in crypto investment. Before encouraging them, try to educate them first until they fully understood what cryptocurrency is all about.

Panic selling always happen to people who lacks information on cryptocurrencies. Investing in bitcoin or any cryptocurrencies requires enough knowledge so it better to learn it first before buying any coins. But some bitcoin holders are also desperately need cash sometimes especially when the only available source of funds at that moment is their bitcoin.

As of this time, the price of the bitcoin continues to climb but no one is seem sure if this uptrend will go through or will become a bullrun soon. I think the real bullrun will happen next summer because of event like the upcoming second meeting of G20 on Cryptocurrencies. If the outcome of the meeting is favorable to the virtual coins then the so-called summer bull will be charging soon.

Ripple is a centralized virtual currency which is designed to use by the banking industry and there are already some big banks that planning to use it. But on becoming a currency of the future, I think there are some more qualified cryptocurrencies which have better features than ripple. But if all the giant banks around the world that favors ripple adopted and make it to be their main currency for any bank transactions then there is a possibility that ripple will become the major virtual currency of the future.

It is really a good idea to invest in a cryptocurrency that gives you a possible good profit but investing on it without educating yourself is not a good idea. Bitcoin is known to be volatile and always risky when it comes to investing on it. So it better to learn how the cryptocurrencies works to avoid some losses in the future.

Last year is one of the bitcoin's best performance for achieved many all-time highs that culminated in the middle of december reaching the $20k mark. Presently, bitcoin price is already on uptrend and many are looking for another bullrun to come. Surpassing its last year performance remains to be seen and its still on possible factors that may come in the coming days.

Gather information first on any cryptocurrency you want to invest and always remind yourself that investing on it is always risky and be sure to use only an amount of money that you can afford to lose. Being a risky investment is the reason why to make a do your own research first. There are some solid altcoins that you can buy with your $500 like ethereum, litecoin, monero and wpr. You can also buy bitcoin if you like to hold it for term.

I already sold some of my altcoins when their prices rose up and bought another coins that have the potential to grow within the next few weeks. Bitcoin is still having a slow growth and I believe it will also take more weeks or months before a bullrun will happen. Altcoins also suffered many downtrends for the past few weeks and hodling any coins that I have is the still best option. One of my plans is to learn day trading so I can trade my coins but I need more time to learn this risky business.

Regulating bitcoin is possible and many governments around the world have been plannng jmpose regulations to prevent the cryptocurrency from falling into the hands of elements that deals with the money laundering, drug trafficking and other illegal activities. This regulation might include cryptocurrency exchanges and they all subject to monitoring by the appropriate government agencies.

All cryptocurrencies a bad day, not just once, but many times and bitcoin is one of them. Bitcoin have been a victim of different attacks from various media and other critics that aims to bring the coin down. Bad days are just temporary and I believe bitcoin will make a recovery at the appropiate time.

Bitcoin is known for its resiliency, the ability to recover from even a big crash. This technology of virtual currency has already proven its worth and has already attracted a lot of investors including the big ones. We should stay positive on bitcoin even it receives a lot of negative feedbacks because its technology is promising and will never fail.

Bitcoin is most widely accepted in Japan in this part of Asia  and many of its merchants have already accepting bitcoin and some cryptocurrencies as a mode of payment. In my our country, it is use mostly for remittances and you have to convert the bitcoin into cash. Some coffee shops and restaurants, even an electronic store, reportedly accepts bitcoin as payment but this has yet to be confirmed.
