BEEN IN THIS GAME FOR 6 YEARS

[kapalmabur]

You have a gret point of view, I'm in this "game" for 3 years, and I learnt a lot during these years and we have same opinions, the prediction of price is just a fun game, but we have to accumulate as much BTC as we can to be in a good position in the future, maybe BTC can crash, it's something we have to know, but we could look this price of 8k USD as a bargain if BTC reach 50k, or something more for example

don't expect too much of the price of Bitcoin !, because it will be very painful,  
I know what makes this thread lucky to have been here for 6 years, 3 years I am here as well as you,, and I like this game

as our hope, we could imagine how many price bitcoin in future.dont worry if it will be very painfull.we've in this condition since end of 2017.no matter how long we were in this market, the important key was how much bitcoin we could accumulate before halving on 2020 happen.many investor and traders now focus on this thing.they hope bitcoin price could hit and  break last all time high

I think if we educate fundamentals which is tough we might win some hearts.

Which fundamentals? I think, at the moment, the best use case for BTC is for international transfers. Developing countries could offer cheap services to developed countries without using WU or PayPal. It also works for remittance. Thus, asking people to buy 0.1 doesn't make sense.

I'd rather encourage people to trade more internationally, so both parties can be more prosperous, than to participate in a Ponzi-like scheme.

If many people start trading internationally using BTC, then the price will increase naturally. I'd argue it also will be more sustainable. Even if the goal is the same, how you achieve it matters.

Definitely true.

I use Bitcoin regularly to buy subscription packages from various porn e-commerce site. It's way cheaper than using my debit or credit card. It's really easy to do and I don't have to prepare a lot of paper works.

We should be happy that we are part of financial revolution that is going to take place soon around the globe with the involvement of cryptocurrencies but we need to educate masses about the functioning or working of these coins like technology behind btc as people are afraid to invest in these coins due to volatility and negativity spreaded by rumours.But see the prices earlier and now depicts high growth rate and traders are being attracted to the market due to huge profits in short span.So lets wait for right time.

Crashed might happen anytime but bounced will be there to expect. Positivity will make you stay focus and keep you to buy more instead of losing your hope.

Many predictions are here and most of the time there's  a lots of differences with so called expert traders. Do your diligence to work and learned how to manage

your emotions and how will you benefits in the long term process.

Well done to you for going the distance thus far. I mentioned before that since properly being in the space in 2016, I've seen long-timers leave the game and it always surprised me, especially since they were, like you, here long enough to see how these cycles repeat, and how the patterns continue to take place as they always have before. Yet they gave up last year. Not all, but sufficient numbers. Always made me wonder about who they really were and how passionate they really were.

But hey, everyone's allowed to change their mind, and this is after all, an experiment still playing out.

See you at $95k then!

[jrrsparkles]

In practical,people won't accept anything until it becomes reality but making benefits after it happened is less that is why we need to take risk to get benefits from something.Lot of fellow forum members even didn't imagined that cryptos will reach this much level in year 2010 and I still remember people were happy to sell their bitcoins for double digit figures since they got it very cheaper than that.

More often than not, we hear suggestions and assumptions about future successes of those or other projects from our friends.
And most often we are too lazy to double-check this information, which sometimes seems fantastic.
If a friend fails to convince us, we will not make any gestures in the direction of the information that he gave us. Just like with Bitcoin.
How much they did not tell me and did not tell about Bitcoin, at one time, I did not pay attention to it but in vain.

[South Park]

I'm also been in this game for many years, but to be honest, I didn't want to "market" it to people, why? because I will get the same response as what you got. So I just keep everything on myself, although I try many times with my families and close friends but after that I completely shut off and didn't discuss it to them.

Most of the time, you will be butt-hurt with all the response you got (at least that's what I feel back then), and when bitcoin goes on a dramatic rise in 2017, some of them come forward and I said it's too late because we are in a bubble already. And I rub it to them saying that they should have invested before when I'm giving them a hint around 2015/2016 about the potential growth.

This happened to me as well, when I first found out about bitcoin I did my best to spread the little knowledge I had to my friends and family, most of them just ignored me while others made fun of me, so from that point on I kept quiet about bitcoin and how much I liked it, when 2017 came some of my friends asked me if I knew about the large price increase that was underway and I just nodded, then they tried to get financial advice out of me and I just told them that it was too late and they should wait for the price to go down, they did not listen and they lost some of their money and even one of them had the audacity to blame me for their losses despite my warnings, since then I have remained completely silent about cryptocurrencies.

[Ryker1]

Well that's really good to hear! Well, I assume that in your 6 years on this game you already know almost everything about it. You already master all the techniques and other things that you might need to be able to learn and earn a huge profit on it so that's really good for you.
I appreciated this kind of works.

Lucky are those who have insights of the current events.  I have been in the industry for 5 year, and saw OP's description happen.  I also told my friends about Bitcoin but most of them just laugh at me and others are nasty saying that Bitcoin is a scam.  When 2017 hits, they all rushed to buy BTC because it was rising,  and cashed out when BTC is crashing.  sometimes, I do not understand people.  they ignore it when there is an oppotunity and rushed when the train left.  The moment they saw some negative movement, they easily got scared and sells.  If only they learned about Bitcoin and its fundamentals, they (my friend) could had avoided selling their stash  at a loss.

Expecting for a higher price on the easiest way is not good, we should know how to play the game. Bitcoin can’t go up high easily, we have to different roads for us to survive. Bitcoin is a good coin and more years to come we will finally see the good and the best side of bitcoin, I’m here for almost 2years and I’m here to stay and keep playing.

It doesn't mean that if you invest in bitcoin or in any cryptocurrency then you will have a lot of profit faster than any market. It is still like how the stock market works and other form of investment, you need to be patient enough to harvest all of your investment. Bitcoin has a lot of potential for its market to grow but it would take at least 5-10 years before it really mature. So it is all up to you if you are going to be greedy or you are going to be patient enough and just enjoy the flow of the market.

[Murat]

Well, According to your prediction, You say that in a few years, Bitcoin price will hit 95k, That is massive, I am also thinking as like that but not as high as your, Yeah, Scarcity is one of the reasons for this issue but you also have to consider that Bitcoin mining is growing up around the world so the scarcity will not be the main factor from my observation, Most important thing is that Bitcoin is not passing a good time since a couple of months, we see a rapid price ups and downs so the prediction is very tough regarding the price. But still, in our society, lots of people don't have any idea about Bitcoin, I think those people will be the key point for accelerating Bitcoin price.

People are more conservative than risk taking this is why they go for complete safe in that they are not going to make anything in long term.Asking friends for the suggestion is the stupid idea,we need to find someone who is expert in the field and take advice from them or just better explore by ourselves because no one will make us rich we have to find our own way.

Since you mention porn, yes, privacy/pseudonymous (not anonymous) is one of the bitcoin features. However, it may only take a little piece of the whole transaction pie. It's better to push the utility for the mainstream.

You have been in this game for almost three years and still you are saying that we have to take this thing under observation that when will be bitcoin crashing. For all I know is that bitcoin is not going to crash or come to ground like a home of cards because bitcoin are famous enough in the world of marketing as well as other fields and one thing that is famous always has less chances to come to ground.

I have started around the same time, I didn't know it would get this big, I never realized it would get this big, and to be perfectly honest with you I never cared about it going big neither. I have always seen bitcoin as a currency, that is what people are missing out, I have seen it as something that I can get paid with and then pay with as well.

I have worked and earned bitcoins in the past 6 years and I have spent all of that back into crypto related stuff as well, I am making enough money as it is with crypto so I don't care if I would profit via some bitcoin going up profit trade type of situation, no I care that I work and get paid in crypto then spend that crypto into stuff that I can buy with crypto (sometimes I cash out for bills and such), that is the awesome part of bitcoin for me.

[henmark]

I first got into Bitcoin around the end of 2014, I think that was either November or December. The price was very low and I wasn't ready to invest because I was just using as a method of transactions for the work I was doing then.

After sometime I introduced it to my friend and he took out time to research about it, he invested and even started Bitcoin mining (the mining he no longer does now). And I was still just using it as a payment method, till he came back and told me that the price of Bitcoin is up to $1000! I was still skeptical about investing in it till the price got to $2,500, that's when I rushed in, can't remember exactly when, but I'm thinking around the middle of 2017.

I planned to hold it for long term, maybe five years after I compared from 2009 to 2017. But surprisingly that same year the price got to 19,000+ around December.

My friend advised me to leave it, but when it dropped to $15,000 I decided to sell them and use the money for another business which i do now. I later invested this year and I'm holding again till the price goes up. I don't rely much on Bitcoin, I always have plans for long term holding, but if there happens to be bull run, then I'm selling.

[Ailmand]

I have known bitcoin since 2013 and had stopped for almost two years without even looking at the price. I was really shocked how much the price grew. I knew when I forst read about bitcoin that it has a great long term potential, a revolutionary currency that can be used as an alternative medium of exchange. When I went back to crypto, I swear I won't hesitate anymore and will be part of it till it grows and gets massively adopted and accepted.
