I think I should have clarified in my original post - I'm hodling and buying more every time I get the chance; just thought it has been interesting to see people attempting to force negative news that we can all see through so easily over the past few weeks
I get it, but don't worry too much, when something is hyped, there is a lot of talk about it and hence some negative talk too.
Price speaks for itself, the rest is pointless for now
If you are aiming at a short term profit, you are not taking a big risk IMO. Pretty easy to make quick and decent profits these days.
To this post I wrote a few weeks ago, I would like to add some thoughts: IMO many negative talk are due to the nature of Bitcoin, I'd better say the nature it has became.
Because the idea of the man behind the nickname Satoshi Nakamoto was to create a digital coin that would be used on Internet only. A decentralized system, when the users remain anonymous. I really don't think he imagined year 2017 with hedge funds trading the coin, investors knowing nothing about it but buying it. At the beginning, Bitcoin was just a solution to send payments without intermediary, on a secure network.
That's why many people who were there in the early days are negative about Bitcoin in 2017 because around it, there are a lot of bad things happening, manipulations, but also all the other cryptos, and all those ICOs.... ad the scams coming with it.
We are now quite far from the initial idea of Satoshi Nakamoto back in 2008. When I say "his" idea, it was actually inspired by Nick Szabo (if both are not the same person).
