There is an exchange that I use any time I need to switch in between my coins, it is called fox exchange. It offers a great option with instant change between coins with full anonymity and no verification needed.

First of all security, this is the most important thing. Secondly, fee rates. I know that Bitstamp makes money even when you are asking for a transaction confirmation or any slip to confirm that your deposit was processed. This is really too much for me. And finally procedures and additional KYC verifications that most of the exchanges are asking for. I have recently started using a new exchange when I need to transfer my coins quickly, it is called fox. exchange https://www.fox.exchange/pair/BTC-ETH
It's not for some major trades but it makes your life a lot easier when you need an instant change. It is safe, quick, plus no ID needed. Those verification procedures always make me paranoid about the purpose and further usage of my documents.

I think that a newbie should take the last crash of BTC price as a history lesson that will help him understand how volatile and turbulent crypto market is. We need to learn from the history and make decisions considering the events from the past. It is quite risky entering the market now, but then again, the price drop can be looked at as a blessing in disguise. Maybe newbies should wait for a month more and see how will the situation unfold itself, all signs are saying that we are steping in to the safe side and that it will go up from now on.

I think of ripple and always present coin that will always keep BTS's back. It is a fact that XRP will never take the first place from BTC but it offers completely different benefits to investors and it has great potential to shine in the future.

I don't think that we will see the moment when BTC will become dominate in the market in the near future. Regulations bring stability no matter how beneficial decentralisation and anonymity are.

Come on people, we are done with all panic talking! It is going up, for days now! I wouldn't call it a bull run, but it is a beginning of the long expected reverse. We will hopefully enter 2019 with some positive thinking and in green. Again, I got no high hopes about 2019. nor I expect that we will see the price of 19k any time soon. I simply expect to see some easy, steady progress through 2019. and I'm expecting a lot from 2020.

The things are starting to move in the right direction. First of all, I believe in the project and I firmly believe that BTC is a long term investment that will not cease to exist, so it is the best time to invest when we are the start of recovery.

It's completely ridiculous to be talking about cutting your losses in the circumstances like this. If you have been patient so far and kept the coins through everything that we have been through for the last couple of months, keep it for a couple of months longer.

This is a new and extremely volatile market. If you do your research well and educate yourself, you will learn that this is a really good time to enter the market due to follow:
1. the prices are low
2. the fact is that the market will go up even though no one can tell you when
3. BTC will not die
4. you are making a long term investment
5. BTC will not die

It means nothing, it can be simply moving from one wallet to another and spreading eggs in different, safer baskets.

Check the new projects, they tend to solve more problems plaguing crypto currency in general, block chain is still so far from perfect and by releasing newer projects we will take the block chain to the next level. The one that I am looking at right now is called BTCN. They have good idea and transparent project for it. Also, you can see the names behind the project and their developing team seems committed to constantly improve it. Presents in CMC and external exchanges is also important.

No, never. We are part of an extraordinary moment in the industry and technology development. Think about the moment when there are no more BTC to be mined and you are a proud owner of a coin or part of it.

I don't believe that 2019. will be worse than this one, I think that it will not get worse in the next couple of years. But I also don't expect any extraordinary bull run that will save us all. We will have some stability hopefully, but not extreme growth.

Looking at the comments and disparate statements made in the last couple of months by the members of this forum, I believe that we have great impact on the price as well. Support is important, no matter if it is some new and anonymous coin or BTC.

Why would a newbie what for good numbers when these are the best numbers for anyone entering the market for the first time. What should they wait? For the price to start rising so that they have fewer coins to buy with the money that they are planing to invest? If you are giving them advises to invest latter, it means that you are sure that BTC will rise again and prevail all of these speculations. And if that is the case, why would you advise anyone to buy by bigger price than the lower one available right now. For anyone waiting to invest latter one, invest now!

One of the perks and benefits of block chain and the reason why it was built in the first place is anonymity. And that is something that is quite appealing to someone who wants to make some money laundering. I have heard about stories that BTC is really popular in Columbia, also Poland. There are some stories, but how much of it is true, who knows. But it seems like a reasonable doubt that something like this is possible. No one asks you, where did your money come from and you can buy and sell next moment and get yourself some clean dollars.

The moment is right, we are near the bottom and the reverse will start soon, good moment to take your part into the game. I would always put my money in any of first 10 CMC altcoins. My choices are BTC, XPR, ETH. Also, it depends on what your goals and preferences are, but if you are looking into giving a chance to a new and unknown project, smart choice will bring you a long term benefits. The things you should look at when making the decision: transparency of the project, white paper, names behind the project, idea, work developers are putting into it daily, activity of the community, availability on the exchanges, CMC, etc. They project that I am looking at right now, BTCN seems to have all the above for now, it reached CMC in no time and it is already present in couple of known exchanges.

People are worried because they lost their money. This is a great story to participate in but it is more pleasant for you to participate in it with some gain and with out loses. I completely relate to people who are feeling desperate in the given situation. But the only exit from the situation that they are currently in is to educate themselves and understand the potential of BTC and that it will grow. Take a deep breath and hold for a bit longer if you already kept the coins until now. It will get better.

I don't believe that this is even possible but for the sakes of all of us, let us hope

400.000USD, that is a digit to think about

I don't think that it will go under 2k, and I have been reading the same opinion from different sides these days. I think that quit point depends on the starting point as well, so it is pretty much individual for all of us. If someone entered the game when the price was 8k and he held his position until now, what difference would 1k make?
