The good news here in my country is that the interest for investing in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies continue to increase and many of them are already bought bitcoins while the price is still lower. The bitcoin here is not yet legalize but the government will not prohibit its people from using bitcoin in online transaction. Another good news is that some companies here is planning to allow bitcoin as alternative payment for their online transactions.

It is not possible unless a government allow the bitcoin first to be use as a legal tender or approved by the central bank to be one of the main currency. Internet availability in the far flunged areas should be also address to make bitcoin accessible. You can not successfully implement a plan like replacing conventional money by bitcoin if the technological infrastructure in your area is poor. Modernization take time so it is not yet possible in the near future.

Being one of the top performing cryptocurrencies last year and managed to reach some all-time highs, some crypto analysts predicts eteherum will going to surpass bitcoin by 2019.
Ethereum had a great potential to reach new price level that could surpass bitcoin with its many ongoing developments and dapps. But that prediction is remain to be seen because as we all know that predicting a highly volatile market like cryptocurrencies is tougher than any markets like stocks and forex.

Avoid lesser known and not widely-used cryptocurrencies, there is always a possibility of risk. It may later turn to scam or the developer or creator may just use the currency  to create a pump and dump coin. Some are only created the coins to earn money and victimizes a lot of would be investors. An altcoin that created with many flaws will not last long and it will eventually cease to exist.

Some of the coins will survive, others will eventually die. Many established altcoins can function independently from bitcoin and can make their price continue to rise up even bitcoin is down. Strong and continuing support is needed to make any coin stable and I think the life of every cryptocurrency is not tied up to bitcoin because most are made independently. But if the blockchain technology in which the coins are based failed, then all cryptocurrencies will surely be gone.

Bitcoin's capability to make deep changes will happen only if it is become fully used in mainstream. The blockchain technology can reduce corruption in the government if they allow it to use by different branches or departments.
Cryptocurrency money is said to be fully traceable by anyone because identities can be verified by ongoing process of encryption. To completely gain the benefits of cryptocurrency, government should use cryptocurrency in funding any public projects instead of fiat to make it secure.

Diversify instead of buying only a single cryptocurrency. Ethereum is known to be one of the promising coin to watch in the coming months  but there are still a dozen of coins that could match ethereum performance and you can find them in the coinmarketcap. You should include bitcoin because it is best suited for long term investment and there is always a possibility of another all-time high in the last quarter of the year.

Hodl is always considered as the best strategy for long term profit. It is used also by some well-known and successful businessmen/traders in the stock markets. It is also proven useful in cryptocurrency trading and many bitcoin users who use to buy the coin at lower price and hold it till the price go high. When coin prices are going down, try not to overcome by panic selling, hodl and remain calm. Hodling can also risky and be sure to buy only coin that have the potential to grow in the future.

It means more and more people around the world are supporting and buying bitcoins. Bitcoin need a strong support and these rising bitcoin communities are important for bitcoin's future price development. The continuing dominance of bitcoin are also result of a bitcoin community's continued demand for more bitcoin.

Japan is the first country to legalized bitcoin not only for trading purposes but also for transaction or payment because it is also allowed as a legal tender. Other countries are still planning their steps on what to do with the cryptocurrencies and its exchanges. Some of the countries like China and South Korea are planning to impose a stricter regulations to control the use of bitcoin. Legalizing bitcoin will take time in many countries who use to control their own currency.

There's no doubt that bitcoin contributes a lot in changing life of every holders or investors. Many people are already benefitted from having an extra or even sustainabe income by using bitcoin. As for my part, I'm hoping that someday, i can be able to join those many members who are able to make bitcoin as their main source of income.

There is no spending spree for this kind of holiday unlike major holidays like christmas and new years where many bitcoin holders spend a lot of money. But if all lovers possess a large amount of bitcoins then spend them all in valentine's day, then it will surely affect the price of the bitcoin. After valentines, it will be followed by chinese new year and a possible price downtrend might happen.

Bitcoin trade in Japan is big, it accounts for almost half of the global trade volume. The country is now said to be the new heart of bitcoin since it recognized bitcoin as a legal form of currency. Most of the japanese are open-minded and knew the benefits that bitcoin may give once they accept it one of their aternative currency. Many merchants are now using bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in their business and one company is even planning to use bitcoin as a form of salary.

I saw many traders expresses disappoinment during price correction or dip of the coin they bought. Some of them bought their coins during the price uptrend and they expected it to rise more, only to fall in the following day. Disappointment is seem to be part of trader's life especially to those deals with cryptocurrency trading. Cryptocurrency trading is the most volatile of all trading but it is more profitable than stock trading and forex.

There's nothing strange about bitcoin's correction in this early part of the year. This kind of price fall happens annually and is unavoidable because of bitcoin's high volatility. Bitcoin have already suffered some of it worst price crashes in the past but it always managed to come back strong and reached many all-time highs later. No matter how deep is the fall, bitcoin always find way to climb back to the top.

The best time to invest is last week when bitcoin is almost down to $5000, but now the price is already up by $8000. The bullish mood seems to be back but it might be a bulltrap. Bitcoin will continue to lead in crypto investments and demand for the leading cryptocurrency will continue to increase. Better to invest now while the price is still lower.

You can still recover your losses if you bought your coin during all-time high but it takes time. All you need is to be patient all the times while waiting for the of coin to go up again. But there is always the choice to sell it and buy another good coin that is cheaper and if the price of that coin go up in the future, you will surely recover your loss from the previous coin you bought earlier.
