I do not understand why you are talking about big risks when investing? if you are an investor, then there is no risk, you just need to have iron nerves. If you are a trader in such a case there is a big risk of losing your money. It is necessary to separate these concepts.

All the charm of the market is that first he showed you that you can earn, you were happy about it and now he takes your money from you. I think that growth will begin just after you fix the losses and sell your assets. This is how the market works.

A big role in this matter is the purpose of acquiring BTC. If, for example, you bought bitcoin in order to further benefit from the sale at a higher price, then this is an investment. If you bought bitcoin for what would be with someone to pay them for a product or service, it is not an investment but a payment instrument. For example, gold is now usually an investment, but more recently, coins were minted from it and used as a payment means and then it was not an investment.

Here is my experience. In March 2017, I bought different coins including bitcoins for a total of $ 3000 and then did not touch them at all, in January 2018 they turned me into $ 62,000, but I again did not touch them, now my assets are worth $ 10,000 and now it definitely does not make sense to sell them, I will wait for another growth, of course I'm very sorry that I did not record profits in January, but then I was counting on even greater growth, in the future I will not be so greedy and will act more judiciously.

At least in the case of full recognition by banks of bitcoins, people will be able to legally conduct operations to convert BTC into a currency. I believe that in fact, bitcoin has long been not decentralized, it is evident even from his behavior, it is managed by a small group of people who can manipulate the price at the expense of their large stocks of BTC. Am I wrong ?

It is not entirely clear that the people who keep their btc for long are stupid. There are different categories of market participants, there are those who earn here and now, but there are those who simply have no time to follow the charts, for example I'm in the second category of people, but at the same time I believe in the prospect of BTC development, that's why I bought it I do not plan to sell it for the next 5-7 years. Does this adversely affect the development of technology?

I think that over time, in 5 years time, we will see that bitcoin died not 52 times but 152 times, the fact is that the main task of such news is to encourage people to do this or that, in this case the crowd is being pushed to sell their BTC by deshovoy price, respectively, when the price of the news goes up, the news will speak about urgently buying it at a high price, as it will grow even more. This is the usual market policy.

I think that if desired, governments can easily begin to regulate the turnover of BTC. To do this, they have many tools, for example: control over exchanges, changing legislation, closing illegal exchange points, etc. The only alternative is decentralized exchanges.

it's easy to say but it's hard enough. The fact is that the manipulation of the market is obvious to almost all users, and it's not green beginners but sharks of this market who are doing it, and the mentality psychology of the crowd is known to me, I do not even doubt it. The same applies to all the crashes in the stock markets, because they were arranged on purpose and on all such falls someone has earned huge fortunes. So I think that inexperienced traders who came for easy money will not help any warnings.

If you think logically, it is unlikely that bitcoin will be separated from fiat money. The fact is that its price is measured in $ and if we consider it as a separate unit, it will simply lose value. Just like gold, if it could not be bought and sold for $ then its value would be small and consist only in using it as a resource for producing something. I'm sure that BTC and fiat money are only strong together.

It seems to me that it's no use to wait for payment of rewards exactly in bitcoins. Most likely, such giants as youtube will use their crypto coins, which in turn will be traded paired with the BTC. Such an approach would be much more logical and more profitable for companies.

Last year I tried to earn BTC due to the trade of 3 Alts, but unfortunately I did not bring such tactics to high results, I stayed practically with the same amount of BTC. Now I prefer to keep a part of alts in purses for several years and buy and sell another part with small profits to increase the total amount of BTC in my portfolio. During the growth of bitcoin, alts will always fall in price.

I certainly also believe in this technology and I am confident that in the future BTC will be very highly valued, which will allow many people to get a good profit, but I would not want to be such an investor who sells a single house to buy BTC, the fact is that this the market is prone to manipulation and no one knows how long the price drop may last, it may last several years, I hope you have other means of subsistence.

For all the time I watched bitcoin, I noticed the fact that bitcoin is constantly changing and adapting to the surrounding reality, so I can assume that it will be able to stay afloat for a long time. But we can not exclude the fact that over time everything becomes obsolete and sooner or later everything comes to an end.

Шn the kinky dreams of anarchists it can be true, but in fact, banks have nothing to fear, because bitcoin is estimated in dollars and without their security it does not represent value, banks release and control the dollar, so they have nothing to fear they keep everything under control.

in my opinion so unequivocally can not be answered. The fact is that, of course, the number of registered addresses does not guarantee growth, but on the other hand, a surge in activity in this direction indicates that the world has an increased interest in BTC, this in its turn indirectly indicates the potential for growth in the future.

If it is a question of people's willingness to use blockchain in everyday life, then I believe that the world is not yet ready. The fact is that modern people are very lazy and they just do not want to understand the complex device of the blockchain. Mass distribution will begin when everything will be simplified as much as possible and brought to 1-2 clicks, then you can count on the fact that everyone will be using cryptocurrency.

You would ask the inhabitants of Central Africa about their attitude to the snow. The fact is that in most cases people do not voice their opinion, they voice the point of view that they took from the media. Now in the media there is a negative background in relation to the BTC, respectively, and most people hold the same opinion, after a positive background appears, the same majority of runners include their money and will say the opposite.

I personally adhere to this opinion, you can not trust information from open sources, especially from the media. The purpose of these interviews is to draw public attention with a specific purpose, for example, to increase the mistrust of BTC. With the same ease in half a year, the same person will say that did not say anything.

In the root is not the correct statement. Those who actually control the market and the prices on it are interested in the fact that the participants in this market thought that everything depends on ordinary people, but it's far from the case. In the modern global world in general, all processes are controlled by a small group of monopolists.
