I am a firm believer in this technology. Blockchain is actually bigger than the Internet. I count myself lucky to be among the pioneers of this technology and I wouldn't mess that up for anything. Whatever the outcome maybe I am not selling my holdings for peanuts, not again.

There are so many bad publicity about XRP being a centralized Shit, which is against the decentralization and as such people should avoid XRP. Even at that XRP is still growing strong by the day. Whether centralized or not, I am just a speculator, I am here for the money. I think it is high time I forgot my bias against XRP and buy some for profit. Sorry that is the business side of me.

It's expected and actually easier for an Altcoins to grow 1000% than for already established ones like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dash, Litecoin etc to grow with such an insane percentage in a bull market. But there are some downsides to investing in Altcoins too, it can dump by 1000% in a jiffy. The rule now is investing in good Altcoins with great community, reputable developers as well as good use cases. By so doing the risk of investing in Altcoins can be reduced to the minimum level.

I am here to see the recommendations of good crypto exchanges by crypto enthusiasts. A lot of charlatans are taking over crypto exchanges business. It is not easy losing monies to this fake exchanges after making it the hard way. That's why it is advisable to seek users opinions and reviews on new exchanges before transferring ones asset to such exchanges. As for me my number one exchange still remains Binance, followed by Bittrex, then Mercatox and COINEX is another upcoming exchange and very easy to use.

The less shitcoins you hold, the better for your portfolio and your mental health. This is not the best of times to be a massing shitcoins. Capital preservation should be your priority at the moment. And one of the effective ways to achieve that is by reducing your exposure to Altcoins. They are highly volatile and unpredictable at the moment. Just my 1 Satoshi!

All hail the king!!  Long may he reign over cryptodom. May his reign be peaceful and prosperous. Bitcoin is the pacesetter and the trailblazer, Bitcoin is here to stay. I just laughed at people who says that Ethereum or any other shitcoins will overtake Bitcoin, It ain't gonna happen mates. Wake up from your dreams.

That's a million dollar question that no one has an answer to yet. Que Sera Sera: what will be will be. All we can do is to wait patiently and watch and hope that sunny days are around the corner.

I agree with folks that says it's a commodity. It is actually not practicable to use Bitcoin as a currency. The fees to be paid is quite discouraging.

Nah mate. Mostly it's a waste of time and effort. Bitcoin mining requires a lot of resources which are usually not within the means of an individual. You can try your hands on mining shitcoins with low difficulty level

I believe it is not really a major threat, but it is not healthy for Bitcoin in the long run. A lot of folks are investing a fortune in this Shit coins, monies that are supposed to swell Bitcoin market capitalization. But because investors wants crazy returns on their investment, they rather invest in this new coins which are mostly scams. The Devs will cash out eventually, thus crashing the market.

I am so guilty of almost all of the symptoms above. Does that mean I am an addict.? And what are my options and the way out of this messy. Glory be to God

Hold on tight mate. It's almost bull season, don't be that Btc Pizza guy. The scenario is playing out right in front of our eyes again. It can't get any worse than this.

Knowledge is power. I totally agree with you my friend. Having a good understanding of TA tools is definitely a plus in this space. You know when to enter and exit the market and prevent yourself being rekt

Because this is the next big thing after the Internet. And I am just lucky to be an early starter, I wouldn't give that up for all the gold in South Africa. We are just at the beginning of this tech. I am pretty sure that crypto market will witness unprecedented growth in the nearest future. We are just getting started

My best Altcoins are Ripples, Cardano, Z classic, Zilliqa and BNB not in any particular order. Each has made me decent fortunes in times past.

It is quite unfortunate that is the order of the day now. Exchanges, ICOs, airdrops, bouties  are not left behind in this dangerous precedent. It is the new norm.  I agree with you that crypto enthusiasts need to stand up against this evil. Or else it will set us back in our development as a community. Criminals under the guise of KYC for airdrops, ICOs etc are harvesting people's data for criminal activities.  We need to wake up and be up and doing

Thanks for the advice. It is obvious you are a firm believer in this technology. I will see what I can put aside from my salary monthly and invest in cryptocurrencies. I hope it pays off eventually in the long run. Cheers mate

It's only lack of knowledge and education that can make someone to say that Bitcoin is Ponzi. Bitcoin is no Ponzi. I stand to be corrected

Prophet of doom on the loose. If it's raining now, it can't rain forever. Sooner or later the market will recover and you better be ready. That's my take on this issue.

The manipulation in this space is unimaginable. The big players have what it takes to move the market in their favor. They spread FUD, then buy cheap btc/alts, then they release some good fundamentals and the market starts responding. Then they take their profits and the market is down again and the circle continues. As a trader you have learned to outsmart the market to keep afloat
