This is just a normal thing on any investments, once it breaches a new record, it can be certain that a correction will happen next, since there will be a lot of people that will take profit from their investments, which is normal, since the reason why we invest to to make our lives easier, and about the crash that I've read on the thread, if you check and compare Bitcoin to the stock market, wherein a lot of crashes happen, one thing that differentiates Bitcoin, is that Bitcoin is decentralized, that a lot of people can invest on and makes it hard to manipulate, wherein the stock market, if you are not an insider investor, you will feel the crash of your stock, but in reality, the insider shareholders can manipulate the price of your stock, that's why you can see a crash, but for Bitcoin, there are no insiders.

If the studies are correct and 1 out of 3 millennials would rather invest in Bitcoin than stocks, it seems to be a good thing, if the study was done today, I think they could come back and check again after 6 months, and check whether the numbers are still the same. In my company, we have a lot of millennials, only a few of us had invested in bitcoins last July, and we are still convincing friends back then to check out Bitcoin, to do some research,  it came to a point when after trying to convince them, we are still left out, just amongst ourselves, the price back then was not even at 4k USD, then after a few months we grew in in number, they also wanted to join in, since it is a good investment, I think there is a part of FOMO, but the number of Bitcoin users in my company did grow. I think the statistics we have now will surely change, making Bitcoin to be a more trusted currency.

I would suggest if you have a mining machine, to get a a target per day or per week, let's say you want to mine at least 1 Bitcoin per day, do 1.5 Bitcoin, save 1 Bitcoin and let it appreciate through time, then sell the .5 Bitcoin, since you only targeted 1 Bitcoin, you can now have savings, and consider the excess to be free cash, that is to prevent yourself from binge spending, and also consider it as a reward, since mining today is difficult or you could also use the .5 Bitcoin for your expenses. For me, I will not choose whether to spend or sell what I had mined, I will make a budget, since it is already considered free, might as well take care of it, since a lot of people would also want to be miners but doesn't have the means.

I think.they need to think it out, since bitcoin is currency, it can really contribute to a country's financial aspect, i think when it comes to regulation, since a lot of countries are doing well with bitcoin, i see that there would not be a problem, they can just modify their laws. This move will also open up new opportunities for their existing businesses, since everything is digital now, they can easily integrate a pyment of bitcoin in their system, thus bringing more income to them, and they might create a crypto coin of their own, since other countries had done it already, and it seems to be promising. I think warning their citizens will just promote them to use bitcoin, since the rest of the world are already investing in bitcoin, and soon the opd ideology when it comes to money, will be obsolete, they just need to look into the future.

We should still be thankful for the fork being postponed or moved to another date,  this only means that the market will go under correction, we should also not worry and panic sell, since the fork has been postponed, we still need to take care of our investments, by this time, though it seems that the value of bitcoin will not breach 10000 usd, rest assured that bitcoin will hit 10000 usd in time, as of now what seems cleare to me it the price.of bitcoin migth go up around 8500-9000 usd at the end of the year, since there is still bitcoin silver by december.

Well this is true, considering the fact on what is happening today and what is going to happen. Today, we are seeing more and more acceptance and trust on bitcoin by a lot of people, during the past years, bitcoin was just a term in the internet to be just a digital currency, now bitcoin is being recognized not only as currency but as an asset as well, and had made a name for itself by showing us, how much is its real value, and that is what's happening today, but what might or will happen in the coming years, the old ideology that fiat is the only currency to be used will become obsolete, since it is supported by an older generation, once the old generation has been replaced, a new ideology regarding money will take over, and that will be the ideology for bitcoin.

If you want to see your investment gaining profit fast, I suggest you put all your money on Bitcoin, since Bitcoin has a larger market than others, however you want to invest you money among the four, i suggest to split your money and do not invest all at the same time, make sure that when you enter your investments, the price is low, do not be impulsive. For me, I would put more in Bitcoin, then on ethereum, then Bitcoin cash and lastly on ripple, I would rather want to see having a lot of coins as of now than seeing the value, since time will come those four might be called as high as Bitcoin today.

Since there is no fork as of this time,  we had seen the value drop from around 7700 down to 7250, in which i think the correction will happen this time, and we might see bitcoin's value still increase in the coming days, probably around 7300-7500 usd, since there are good news coming along the way, like from Argentina, the CME, I think news like these are making an impact in the crypto market, it only shows that more and more people are trusting Bitcoin and not just in it for the fear of missing out, since most investors now had felt the rise in the value of Bitcoin.

I think selling your bitcoin now, is not a good idea, since there is no fork, the market will go into correction and the value will drop and another sale will be going on, unless they reschedule the fork in the coming days, but as of now a correction is on the way, but it will be healthy, since the fork was hyped, and there is still an upcoming Bitcoin silver, which may again contribute to althe rise of the value of bitcoin, but if you think you're ok with what you've gain already, there is no stopping you from selling,  but make sure that you still have left for your investment.

For me, i will hodl both, since both are good investments, i think bitcoin had already proven itself to be a worthy investment since it already surpassed the value of gold and a lot of people have trust on bitcoin, ethereum on the other still has a long way to go before it can to head to head with the value of bitcoin. With the world all focused on bitcoin, there is no doubt bitcoin will become a fortune in the future, however if a time comes that people can no longer afford the price of bitcoin, they might turn to a different currency, thus maintaining the peak value of bitcoin, i think ethereum will be one of those cryptocurrencies that people will turn to, aside from the altcoins that was produced during the forks, and still we cannot deny the fact that there are ethereum based coins, that can also sdd leverage to ethereum, still that is to be proven if they can go against thevalue of bitcoin.

I have invested on both cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin and ethereum, what I can see is that ethereum has a potential to be valued more than Bitcoin, the transactions are the same, the ideology is the same, I think what differentiates the their value, Bitcoin being valued more than 10x than ethereum, but if ethereum also received the same popularity as Bitcoin, I think ethereum can go head to head Bitcoin, but as of now, people will need to learn to accept cryptocurrencies in the future, and if all did, it will open up a huge market for all cryptocurrencies.

I think this is a misconception, it doesn't mean that if you hodl you are greedy, it.is just.taking care of your investments, if you check on banks, they hold yoir money for a long time, specifically.if.you put them on time.deposits, when it is alrrady time for you to withdraw, there will be fees, and you will just get below 10% of the interest of your money, and that will take you more than 10 years,  and the bank getting money from you, out of thin air, that is greedy, well as for holding bitcoins, bitcoin's value increases through time, but that doesn't mean you're greedy, that's how investing works, your invesment rither gives you capital gain or capital loss.

With the popularity of Bitcoin now, I think people will agree Bitcoin to be as digital currency, even without fully understanding what Bitcoin is, since that is what the mainstream media is portraying. I think this countries that do not have any any access to the internet, will be the ones having a hard time in accepting Bitcoin, since it will be all new to them and the technicalities are still difficult to explain even if you are investing for so long now. It will also depend on the ideology the country follows, if they will accept Bitcoin to be the future or will still rely on Fiat currency.

It is better to hodl Bitcoin right now and wait for segwit2x, and and then hodl till you meet your goal, my advise is to always keep the fundamentals of investment, particularly, saving for the future, if you save your bitcoins now, and use only a small percentage for your expenses, you will see and feel your investment growing, and always catch up with the latest news, I think Bitcoin crashing after the segwit2x is unlikely, a slight dip may happen, just to have a correction in the market, but it will not crash, since an example of a market crash is like Blockbuster, before it was highly valued, then Netflix came in the scene and it plummeted and since it became obsolete, that is a crash, however for bitcoin,  a lot of people will still be using Bitcoin in coming years, and it's value will still go higher.

We are all optimistic when it comes to bitcoins, the value of bitcoin will reah 500k usd, but i think the timespan is too short, if within thr next 3 years the value of bitcoin hits that high, it only means that a lot of countries had already opened their doors to bitcoin, and the world is close in getting rid of fiat, in which i.think it will take a long time for people to accept, since most of the governing bodies are in favor with the old ideology of money, which is it cannot be decentralized. I think we could wait, until millenials or gen x, had taken over the positions of baby boomers today.

whenever a friend of mine is interested in buying bitcoins, the first thing i tell them is to get a wallet first, they need to make sure that their investment will be safe, if they are planning to invest just a small amount, i advise them to try online wallets first since is has 2FA already, however if they are planning to start with a huge amount, it is advisable to get an offline wallet, and make sure that their keys are safe. i also advise them to download an antivirus to just to be safe from malwares or spywares that may try to take their account. in the case for investing on bitcoins, i suggest them to keep on studying and learning about investing, since no one can actually predict what will be the price by tomorrow and to be aware of the current events, since bitcoin is global, they need to keep up with the times.

This news is very disturbing, what we should do is to be more careful at sites that w go to, a d especially the programs that we download, they should all.come to trusted websites or sources. It is a good that we this community,.everyone is becoming aware in cases like this, hopefully kaspersky team will announce what is the source of the trojan and hopefully find a way to block and deleted its files. Hopefully there would be an update from kaspersky.

i think we all have negative friends, it's just a matter of the perspective, if they are satisfied with the old ideology that money cannot be decentralized, just respect their decision, and in time you will prove yourself. i got this experience from almost all my friends, they were laughing at me when i introduced bitcoin to them, earlier this year, they were all like, its a scam, they will watch me if ever i get successful with bitcoin, and so on. i think it also matters, to where you live, i live in a country, wherein if you tell them a good investment, rather than helping you or wanting to go along with you, what they really want is to see you fall, however if your will is strong, it won't affect you, and just what i've experienced, the idea of bitcoin was rejected before and now that bitcoin is in the news, they are asking me if i'm rich already, and whenever i tell them i'm still doing m best, since it is an investment, there is an amount of time you need to take care of it so it will grow, and what they say today is, if i didn't get rich, why would they try bitcoin and it is all hype. i just respect their decision since i know what i am doing, and in time, for sure, they will ask me about it, when the value is high.

for me i will play it safe, i will place half of my bitcoin or the amount of bitcoin i am willing to get free coins for me in coinbase, since it will benefit me as well, and as for the other half or the bitcoin that is left i will hodl it, just make sure that you will have a definite plan,in any case something you don't want might happen, you still have saved bitcoins on your electrum wallet. if you plan to be greedy, and place all your coins in coinbase, there is still an assurance that you will gain profit, just check yourself first if you are willing to take the risk or not, but if you are still hesitant when the time is near, i suggest you try 1/4 of your bitcoins, for you to still gain, and do it for yourself and don't blame anyone regarding your decision, since that will be the plan you are going to do.

I think 2017 is just the start of the beginning of adoption of people to bitcoin, since more.and more people are becoming interested with bitcoin and in time a new generation of investors will emerge and will take over. As of now, what we are seeing in the stock market is the old ideology that money you invest must be tracked and there should be a limit and it mostly take on the side of fiat currency, i think that old ideology will become obsolete, since there.is a new ideology that is coming out, a decentralized form of currency, that is much more convenient that fiat currency. This year shows the world today that bitcoin is here, that there is a new currency, accepted by many, and for the coming years, it will also be the year bitcoin still,  i see bitcoin will still gain more strength in time.
