This is the basic knowledge we should know about crypto to sace us from the numerous complaints we often see here. People have the idea of get rich soon and so get disappointed as the value fall. Patience is the key.

The fact is one choose to sell or hodl base on the potential of the altcoin. Most of the coins turn to lose their value and so it only makes business sense to sell. However, it is good to hodl good and potential coins.

I think bt was created to decentralise financial services and that is actually happening and so right from the beginning btc bas achieve it majn goal. With respect to its use, though it has not been legalised in many countries but we can't dispute the fact that it is globally use now mostly for online transactions. As more organisations accept btc, we will one day get there. It is only a matter of time

Maybe my definition of ponzi scheme is wrong otherwise there is no link between btc and ponzi scheme. This tells you nothing but the fact that those individuals lack absolute knowledge in btc. Why worry about their comments then??

This is absolutely a good news. Samsung is a big and reputable company and adds to the reputation of crypto. Soon people will come into acceptance and mass adoption will happen across the globe

This year hasn't been good for crypto. Though we are still not at the end of the year. Personally, I think first month of 2019 will be a very good month for crypto.

It is quite pathetic to hear but I think Btc still has a future despite the dip. It was not expected to see btc go that high last year and so no one can actually tell if it will go even higher above 20k. I think you can only hodl for now.

I don't think we can blame them entirely for scam projects but they can't be left out completely as well. Afterall, they presented the work to us and as part of their duties should have confirmed the legidity of the project before managing the bounty campaign

I think this is something we all yearn for: a sure way to detect scam ICO but as it stands now, I don't think there is that way. What we can do is to go by the already known ways; consider the team, the idea etc.
I will always say that before you invest, study the tean for quite some time. Don't just invest as soon as you are introduced to it.

Wow!! Dangerous yo think???
I think it is risky instead but not dangerous. It is risky in the sense that you can lose your investment but to say it is dangerous because of poor management on your part, I don't agree.
People do crypto and are involve in other real jobs or work and it works out fine for them. I think it is just a matter of knowing when to pause.

I tink it is very hard to tell whether btc will continue to fall. Personally, after btc went up to $8000 I thought that was the beginning of the bull run and never expected a fall back again.

We mostly blame bounty hunters for a fall in ICO price soon after listing but the fact is what percentage of the total supply goes yo bounty hunters? Very small portion.
Personally, I love to invest in projects which I believe will hit the moon so I don't worry if the price goes low after listing. I wait till  it rises and then I can make some good profit.

I agree with you perfectly. In everything knowledge is the key. In crypto there are a lot of dynamics thet require that one understands it in order to successfully navigate around.

Personally, I believe that if we have patience we will encounter less lost. Sometimes we panic and sell when the price begins to fall. However, if per what ever reason we run a loss, just like you said, we need to focus on the other available opportunities and explore to our advantages.

This piece of advice is full of sense. If we bother much on the loss we may even end up exiting the crypto world at the wrong time. The future holds the best opportunity.

I think altcoins can only gain independence when they can be traded against each other without btc been the intermediary as it is happening now. Until this happens, altcoins will always depend on btc for a rise or fall of its value.

The idea is amazing and I think it will be more convenient and easy to use but the big question is ; how to restore your wallet in the event that the phone gets lost or spoilt. If there can be a means to restore it in such circumstances then no doubt it is the best way to store cryptocurrency.

End of btc you say?
This is not the first time the market is behaving this way. At least, btc has shown several times that it can resurrect from  a very deep falls. I think this moment is rather a buying opportunity to earn more as the market reverses for good.

I think I am enjoying this argument. Everyone seems to argue from a different but strong points.  To add my voice, I think your whole message carries an idea that has been said on this forum ever since I joined and the bearish time started. It is absolutely good we hodl just like you indicated. Personally, when the value went upnto 8k, I thought were were never going to see anything less than 7.5k this year but surprising there came this sharp turn. I perfectly agree that there is a manipulation and we must to hodl.

This is actually a multi million dollar question. People share contradictory views on this but I always say that the future is unknown to everyone. Considering this issue, I think I agree with your points because everything indicates that btc controls the market and so it will be extremely difficult for any altcoin to surpass btc.
