I don't feel the same. This isn't a playing ground. It's probably one of the most brutal markets out there. If you don't understand how this market works, and don't have a clue about what Bitcoin is or does, you are bound to lose big time. It's called gambling if you blindly put your money into something hoping that it will result in profits.

I get what you're saying, but in my opinion, it is just as risky to invest in the stock market if you don't know what you're doing. The main difference is that there are plenty of investment firms out there, such as TD Ameritrade and Fidelity, where people get paid to invest your money on your behalf. Bitcoin doesn't have that yet. I do agree with you that people who know nothing about Bitcoin and have pipe dreams of investing a few thousand dollars and becoming millionaires over night should not be taking this risk.

Well stock market's been here for ages already compared to cryptomarket which, at more or less 10years, is likely just moving away from infancy. People who have an idea or is educated in stock market trading have a very good chance of getting the knack out of btc trading easily. Bottom line is that you don't go to a gunfight not aware if you have sufficient bullets or not

Yes you are right, this year ahead is one of the best year since we all know that a lot of things happen this year. So for me we should invest as much as we can, hold as much as possible. Still, a lot of thing happen just like Japan starting regulating bitcoin, and Korea put bitcoin in their market which is a good thing.
