Say. Bitcoins, not "cryptos"

[Yatsan]

I hate when people lost their investments when they invest in shitcoins and then completely blame on Bitcoins. I mean they don’t care before investing a huge capital, but as soon as they lose the money, they just starts complaining. Bitcoins won’t disappoint it’s investors. I am not saying this, Bitcoins itself proving this. See the marketcap of Bitcoins. This is enough to prove what Bitcoins are capable of. Moreover due to the fixed amount of supply of the coin, definitely the price will go up in future. So yes, don’t panic and chill a bit.

Well that is really a different story. People tend to use the word cryptos separated from Bitcoin because altcoins are from projects mostly. And I think there's nothing wrong with that. They are having different  attitude across cryptocurrencies. If people are used of investing not only in Bitcoin,then that's just fine. We are different individuals and we have different perspectives when it comes on this technology. Also, golden rule is to diversify your investment than to just settle with it and wait for money to come into your wallet
 Let us accept it; profit from altcoins or other cryptocurrencies are bigger than what an investor may get from Bitcoin.

How can Bitcoin realistically distance itself from crypto? Should Bitcoiners join those who criticize crypto or should they be saying "Bitcoin is a good crypto". Or should Bitcoiners say that Bitcoin is not crypto?

Or maybe it all means that they hype around so-called blockchain technology and decentralization just inflated Bitcoin's value, and now the bubble has popped and Bitcoin returned to a more realistic levels?

Firstly, we are making some mistakes in the cryptocurrency space. It is "cryptocurrency" not "crypto". Crypto means secret while cryptocurrency means a digital currency.
Having said that, Bitcoin can not be separated from other cryptocurrencies because it's the foundation of all cryptocurrencies and what we need to make people understand is that Bitcoin is not like altcoin. However, the major people we have are the influencers that hype shitcoin which led to the loss of some investors.

Holding on tight to the ship in the ocean buffeted by high waves, our fate is in our own hands. If we continue to listen to what other people are saying it will manipulate ourselves. Bitcoin is the asset that will carry us through that tidal wave. We've come this far, it's a shame when we have to reverse direction because of being influenced by people who maybe they themselves don't know about the basic concept of what bitcoin is.
Those who create FUD will always be around, and can never disappear from the bitcoin space. It's better for us to show the firmness of our beliefs with bitcoin, and answer the FUD that spreads with the real evidence that bitcoin shows.

If we should start listening what we have achieved in Bitcoin I believe that many people I have achieve many things who should they will be not able to stretch it out based on people or security purpose so I believe that our testimony in Bitcoin is bigger than the testimony of whoever that is seen as a business or Manuel business outside the world

Re: Say. Bitcoins, not "cryptos"

Bitcoins are crypto. We cannot say that Bitcoin is not crypto. No other designation is more effective for Bitcoin than crypto.

What do you want to say?

Bitcoin is the right investment place for the long term.

What do you want to do?

Invest as much as you can. Do not force yourself to invest an amount that you cannot afford to lose.

What do you want to achieve with Bitcoin?

Long-term investment is the best step in investing in Bitcoin, because Bitcoin's growth is so fast, it can also cause a sudden decline. So, if you wait long term, of course Bitcoin will surprise you with a price beyond your instincts.

What Bitcoin has accomplished is what everyone should see and read with great care. Because it is about historical evidence that has been created in Bitcoin so that everyone only hears to conclude that Bitcoin is the best asset that has existed and will continue to exist forever. And I also have no doubts about the security and transaction speed issues that exist in Bitcoin on several supported networks.

Is that true? I don't think these two words are different, crypto is a cryptocurrency, there is no secret here, and both have the same meaning, is a digital currency.
Bitcoin is cryptocurrency, it is digital money and it is part of the market, but it is more special and different from the rest of the market. In investment, we should prioritize investing in bitcoin because this is the largest coin on the market and safer than the rest.
We are here to make a profit, and both bitcoin and altcoins fulfill that requirement, so we can invest anywhere as long as we feel it is right for us.

Once 10K bitcoins = 2 Pizzas

Now 10K bitcoins = 168 Million dollars

We need more convincing story than this?

I don't know how many cycles are in need to convince the haters to change their decisions but since you're here I hope you realised so accumulate as much as you can when its possible.

[dansus021]

the point of this thread is to HODL the bitcoin and I would say this is a good choice since bitcoin itself has already proven from time to time.

Re: Say. Bitcoins, not "cryptos"

Bitcoins are crypto. We cannot say that Bitcoin is not crypto. No other designation is more effective for Bitcoin than crypto.

and yes this also true that bitcoin is crypto itself and because of bitcoin we can see many great projects in this era that involve crypto technology

• What do you want to say?
• What do you want to do?
• What do you want to achieve with Bitcoin?

The thing that annoys me is when people around me say that Bitcoin is the same as any other coin or altcoin so I have to explain exactly what Bitcoin is and how it is different from altcoins, it is tiring but I really enjoy it with what I do.

Don't give up. We'll be there.

Of course, I will not give up, seeing the history of cycles like this has become my friend.
Not a few take advantage of Bearish to do FUD and say Bitcoin will die, Bitcoin will die, this is bitcoin's last breath and its value will be Zero. I don't think Bitcoin will ever reach Zero given that part of Bitcoin's circulation is locked in users' wallets, maybe the holder died, forgot the wallet password, or lost it. This makes me pretty sure Bitcoin will never go ZERO,  and I want to smile watching the FUD folks buy bitcoin when we reach the moon.

There's no need for an argument mate on something that the answer or solution is glaring. From you believe crypto is a cryptocurrency, right? Please let's check what Google has to say about what "Crypto" means

Technically, when you say the word "Crypto" without adding the "Currency" you're talking about "Secret". I know people use "Crypto" as slang or to shorten the word "Cryptocurrency" but it has a different meaning.

Bitcoin is cryptocurrency, it is digital money and it is part of the market, but it is more special and different from the rest of the market. In investment, we should prioritize investing in bitcoin because this is the largest coin on the market and safer than the rest.

I agree with everything you said except the statement I highlighted because people shouldn't invest anywhere that feels right for them and what they should invest in must be anywhere that feels right for the next bullish market.

[traderethereum]

I like the word HODL because that's what we have to do with bitcoin.
And even though many people can't still hold their bitcoins, we don't need to be like them because we also have our own goals.
And if we can endure it for some time, we will see how powerful bitcoin will be, which will shock all those who still don't believe in bitcoin.
It is only a matter of time before bitcoin is on the rise again and this time, it will pass its last ATH and book a new ATH.

[Reid]

I found one post earlier from a higher rank that it should not be called an "investment" anymore. I don't know what's the reason, but I do agree with it.
Sorry I cannot find his/her post anymore. (I am used to just browsing this forum and reading.)
The thing about it is, I am a supporter of Bitcoin no matter what happens. If it goes down, then it becomes an opportunity, if it goes up, then thank God the demand is higher again.
It became a hobby to just buy it whenever I can at a reasonable price. Is it still an investment? For me it became a natural reaction to buy it when most buyers are in doubt.

[gantez]

Some people still not understand the two and some know only bitcoin and don't know cryptocurrency. They only know the name of bitcoin and have not hear anything called cryptocurrency or altcoins. I think bitcoin covers the name of cryptocurrency a lot with the way the domination of the market by bitcoin. The volume of bitcoin is taking more than 50% of the market volume and same to dominance this is the reason every where is bitcoin in the lips of investors.

More precisely, it is because Bitcoin is the first digital currency that is known by many people and is already more well-known in every community. So it is natural that Bitcoin has a larger volume in the market and is able to dominate the market and also be able to be number one in the ranking of cryptocurrencies. Actually it is not difficult for them to understand what cryptocurrency is because there are so many explanations about it circulating on the internet and you can also directly ask people who already know it first.

[Kadal Ijo]

Many people are often confused by Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies, they think that cryptocurrencies are only Bitcoin even though as we know that there are currently more than 20K Altcoins, it's only natural because they are not investing in Bitcoin, if they try investing it will understand things like this.

[Punakawan]

Right, if we keep waiting then we will never buy, it's better to buy immediately and if the price turns out to drop, then don't sell but buy more, as we know that Bitcoin has a power for rising so that when the market is dropping the best thing is to continue buying, And don't ever wait and hope the price can be cheap in the future.

You said you agreed not to call bitcoin an investment anymore, but what you then tell you are investing, your statement is contradictory. If you no longer consider it an investment, why wait for it to drop in price instead of buying it anytime and why look at its price? I don't believe anyone here says they buy bitcoin out of a natural reaction or out of a hobby whose end goal is not profit. If bitcoin stabilizes, how many people will stay in the market and will you stay?

[Reatim]

the problem is that newbie nowadays first trust Altcoins(as those are being use to lure them inside crypto) and then eventually if they did not get what they want or they fail in shitcoins then turning into Bitcoin and demand so much increase to win back their losses in shitcoins.

Bitcoin  represent crypto ,  altcoin will be nothing without bitcoin.

who said that we need to wait? we need to accumulate while holding mate .. in crypto waiting is not worth it if we will not add something in our folio each time the value dumped .
like me I accumulate another set of coins recently and yes bitcoin is what holds big in my crypto funds.
