The time you're waiting for has just arrived. Currently, the price of ETH is less than $750 and is a very good entry point before it goes back to $1000+. LTC, on the other hand is at $130 level but is also a good entry point. I think it will decline further but nothing is for certain in this situation.

There is no time frame in calling the top nor bottom because we are talking about cryptocurrency. They could increase or decrease anytime. Their history could be a guide but not at all times.

No one exactly knows when will the current down trend will end. It might last until March or April and this is what I think also. There is a great resistance at the moment that's why we keep on seeing the market bloody. The trend started on late December and lasting on March or April is not that bad.

Why do you think the price keeps on decreasing? Because many are selling even though the price is so low. So we must hold our coins. Will cutting our losses will do anything? None. Well it will make the price decrease even more. Cutting losses is just like feeding the whales and don't ever feed the whales.

AFAIK, you haven't lost anything yet unless you sell your coins at a very low price.

The market lately is very exciting. This is a great opportunity in order to get on the train before it goes running again. Though it is a great opportunity, I am just so unlucky that I haven't received my long awaited funds. I am planning to buy some known coins that I missed from the past years such as LTC, Monero, etc. I just hope I'll be on time when I receive my funds. I don't want to miss the train again.

First impression when I read this topic was "what? why?". To be honest, I do not know why would they fork Litecoin when Litecoin does not face any form of struggles of some sort. And when I read the ANN thread of this, I see it as a great move. Moving to SHA256 is a good move for Litecoin. It's just like he's following what his father is. However, by increasing the total supply by 10 is what that bothers me. Why increase the supply?

Will beat Bitcoin in terms of what? Market cap? It is possible but it does not mean anything significant at all. From Bitcoin's circulating supply of 16M to Ethereum's circulating supply of 97M, there's no doubt about ETH overtaking Bitcoin in terms of market capitalization. It's just a multiplication of the supply and the current price so regardless who's on top, Bitcoin is still the one.

This is the perception of experienced and educated person in the field of cryptocurrency. Most or almost all of the newbies fell for the price drop but as a matter of fact, this is the point when things go exciting.

I think ICOs started at the bear market is a ggod thing. They just started from the bottom. I think it's a bed thing if you started like a bubble, right? Starting low is a good thing so that investors could see significant growth

Many similar threads are popping

Because many are selling BTC instead of buying. Basic supply and demand. Some concerns about banning of cryptocurrency in South Korea might helped the downtrend. Some are untiringly spreading FUDs that might've triggered panic selling.

Just for a while. As long as Bitcoin stays to be bearish, we will continue to see Bitcoin drops some value. However, it's just the beginning of 2018 and the market could shift from bearish to bullish in an instant.

Crash, seriously? You are exaggerating things. A drop or decline would be a much suitable term from the recent price decrease. Besides, we are at the middle of January and we are experiencing bearish market ever since 2018 enters, nothing is to be worried about.

1USD = 1BTC? Exaggeration might have been an understatement for you

Sa ngayon eh mejo malabo pang mangyari yan. Dominante pa rin ang Bitcoin hanggang ngayon. Sa totoo lang, ang tanging batayan lang ng ranking eh ang market cap ng coin or token na kung tutuosin ay wala naman talagang kwenta. Multiplication lang iyon ng price at supply kung kaya't number lang talaga siya at walang anumang kinalaman kung gaano kaganda o kapanget ang isang uri ng cryptocurrency. Malaking issue ito para sa karamihan pero sa talagang nakakaintindi nito eh hindi nila pinapansin kung ano ang rank ng isang coin/token, ang tinitingnan nila ay kung gaano ito kaganda.

Though Bitcoin's dominance is under 40%, it's still dominating other cryptocurrency. Thus, Bitcoin's dominance is still there and unbeaten. Ripple is just pumping at the moment. Sooner or later it will dump and Bitcoin will increase in value again. This is just things work so there's nothing to be paranoid about.

The price of Bitcoin is driven by the community. Meaning it could increase or decrease depending on its community. That's the reason why Bitcoin is so volatile in nature. The swift increase in Bitcoin's price would the due to the exponential growth of its user and its demand. We cannot argue about Bitcoin-awareness being spread fast via mass media and social media. This have a big impact in Bitcoin's price. Thus, quick increase.

Any link that could give fruitful information about these future new cryptocurrencies? Aside from google.com, of course.

I cannot see any problem about them creating their own cryptocurrency and it should be beneficial for Bitcoin since this will increase the awareness regarding Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. If ever Facebook and Google will launch their own coin/token then they are worth to invest in.

Bitcoin is at a bearish movement at the moment so it's not surprising being at the 12k-15k level. 2017 was a crazy bull run and it seems the bull is taking a break. Bitcoin will rise again, there's no doubt about that but we should not expect Bitcoin to run all the time. Patience. Bitcoin will eventually reach that price but not in an instant.

Warned about what? Bitcoin? Regardless of the news being positive or negative towards Bitcoin the end result will be positive for Bitcoin. Bitcoin became popular because it was published in a magazine that states that Bitcoin is being used to purchase drugs (I've read this in this forum months ago). It's a negative news but it turned positive towards Bitcoin. So will the news you watched would result in an increase or decrease in Bitcoin's price? Either. Bitcoin is volatile. The possible demand increase would not be that huge to influence the current price.

Even though the recent price chart of Bitcoin is similar or very similar to those charts in the past it does not mean the the same exact trend will happen today. Bitcoin is different today from then. The popularity, the demand, the support, it's not the same so a pattern is just a pattern. Though we can use it as a guide but it will not be a mirror of that event.

Yes, Bitcoin could crash anytime but it could also soar anytime. Many are eager to see Bitcoin crash because they are eager to buy more and at the same time many are eager to see Bitcoin soar so that they could sell some of their coin for profit. Regardless of what would happen, crash or soar, Bitcoin will recover quickly.

That would depend on your preferences. Whether for a short term investment of for a long term. Perhaps dependent on your usage as well. Will you use it for a macro transactions or for micro. There are many factors to consider but I'll assume that you are up to the profits so selecting the existing strong coins will be the best option. BTC, BCH, ETH, XRP, IOT would be in my preference but if you want some new coins/tokens out there, consider TPAY (not yet tradeable) , XUC, POS.

Nothing is to be worried about. This is just the aftershock of the recent correction. Some holders with weak hands panicked when they saw Bitcoin is not increasing anymore and they sold their coins to get out of the uncertain situation. As you can see now, Bitcoin is at the 16,000 level again. It could drop again or increase this time. No one knows but one thing is for certain, no matter what the current trend of the price of Bitcoin, it will increase eventually and surpasses its own records.

Madali kasing mahack kung password lang lalo na kung napakabasic ng password such as "QWERTY", "abcd1234", etc. Kung ganyan lang ang password, magiging madali para sa mga hacker ang paghack sa mga Bitcoin wallet. Private key dahil napakalaki ng probability na hindi mahack ang isang wallet. Taon ang bibilangin para lang makapaghack ng wallet kaya almost 100% secured na maituturing ang Bitcoin wallet.

Ang private key ay may associate public key so in pairs sila lagi. Kung password ang pinakang key sa Bitcoin wallet, magiging centralized ito dahil kelangan ng main server na magsasave lahat ng data about the user's password. So I think this is the reason why private key and not passwords.

Maganda to OP. Marami ang gustong magtrade pero walang concrete knowledge about trading kaya madalas maraming nalulugi at yung iba ay tuluyan ng lumayo sa trading. Since free naman po itong pagtuturo ninyo, pwede po bang dito na mismo sa BCT ipost kung paano? Basic tips, guidelines, dos and don'ts, etc. OK din po kung may group chat sa messenger or telegram pero sana po may thread din dito para yung gustong matuto eh basahin ung andito, yung ayaw naman eh sure akong hindi nila ito babasahin. Kapag sa group chat kasi sir eh cguradong maraming magtatanong ng paulit ulit lalo na kung bagong sali sa GC. At least kapag andito sa forum, nasa OP na lahat. Clarifications nalang ang ipopost na reply or kung anuman.
