Just out of curiosity... lately a lot of threads and posts have popped up about what is happening to bitcoins and altcoins, and what one should do and not to do.

My question is, how much of these replies are an educated guesses? and how much of them are just wishful thinking and speculations?

I already have an idea of what most answers are, just wondering what people think.

Since there is no way of telling which way the BTC price will go, i think at least 75% of the answers are wishful thinking and/or speculations... However, there i personally think educated guesses and wishful thinking/speculations are on the same side of the spectrum, the line between those concepts is very, very thin... An educated guess by a normal user will be close to wishful thinking, while an educated guess by somebody who is really knowledgeable is a little bit further away from wishful thinking... It's all in a big grey zone.

I think the best advice anybody can give you is to investigate by yourself, read as much opinions as you can and try to distil any concrete facts from them, then make up your own mind wether or not to sell/buy/hodl... I can only say that i'll be holding on to my coins, i won't buy any extra's, and i'll certainly not use them untill the price rises again... If it never rises, i'll keep my BTC forever...
