Read what you have typed out loud to yourself, and please try to tell me if there is any logic in that. It is certain that the market is highly volatile due to the fact that it is highly speculative, but because of that, it does not mean we should not be reasonable with our predictions. I can bet my ass you never predicted $3k, as a reasonable analyst in the first place will not be uttering what you just did and we can only anticipate what could happen, not think we can predict exactly what will happen.
Everyone do have a choice, and because of some people's greedy greedy imagination of wanting to get rich overnight, they got served what they deserve, but it is never the end of the world as long as you do not want to end up being a weak hand. However, if you want to keep proclaiming your $1, I guess we will have to wait and see how that works out for you.

Asides from bitcoin even being separate from other market, it is still very much new, and what really gave birth to it in the first place was a result of the financial crisis that ended in 2008. How bitcoin would respond to the next crisis is something we will just have to wait to see with time, but I believe one way or the other, among other things, it will serve the main purpose for why it was created in the first place which due to its deflationary features, can serve as an hedge during such period, but time will tell.

I can see a lot of XRP believers here, but what I don't get is where you guys keep getting decentralized ecosystem from? Oh! Following your XRP leader on stating that XRP ledger is more decentralized than Bitcoin and Ethereum right? Let's see how far that statement will end up proving itself wrong.

As far as I am concerned, nothing will change the fact that XRP will remain centralized, and if you do not know the reason why, I feel it is best you get to understand better with google.

Well, certainly looking at the level at which a whole lot of the altcoins have been dealt to their historical bottom, the best thing for anyone who has been holding for a very long time now, is basically just to keep holding and if possible just buy some little more to compensate for the holding, once the market starts recovering. I know it can be a little bit harder, but it cannot be harder than when you end up selling now and then the market ends up starting a recovery as that can be devastating.

Of course, it is a market and it will always remain unpredictable, so there is no point believing something that is said as a means of predicting what the future holds. However, judging from history and for the fact that this is still a new market with more prospect for long term growth, I believe we will get to see more ATH in the future anyway. For now, I would not be surprised the bears are done yet, until the trend shows otherwise. Time will always tell in the long run anyway, and who ever ends up right with any prediction at this point, certainly just got lucky as this is  not a game of dice.

Actually, at this stage, no one cares any more about any useless fork as that is what they are. These are just some attempts by some punks to scam the community, but in the real sense, they are nothing but shit coins. As long as no reputable exchange is listing it, even at this point does not even have a wallet, it just shows one single thing, it is all complete rubbish.

There is nothing like better option, the only difference here is that one is an old traditional market and one is a very new market and the level of volatility is higher with bitcoin than it stocks, which also depends on the stock you are trading anyway. However, whether you are trading bitcoin or stocks, it all depends on your level of knowledge of any of the market and how well you are able to handle yourself in any of them. If you approach any of them like gamble, then you will most definitely experience the same fate anyway.

Well, this year seems more of a year for holding and investing more, than making profit obviously. However, it looks like the volume with the bears is pretty much subsiding, but in the long term, that is not something we can prove yet, if the bears are completely tapped out or not as we still have to understand that we could see a relief rally but that does not simply means for the long term bullishness or complete move to the uptrend, the bulls are all in, we will just have to wait to see what the market will bring.

Can someone please tell why the twitter campaign spreadsheet has not been updating for the past couple of weeks? An insight into that would be welcome by the team. Thanks.

Giving up at this stage is not even something anyone should be considering at all when it comes to this space considering that this is just a stage that would pass eventually. Will the market go lower in the long run, no one actually can tell? What is important is to just treat every single stage of the market as an opportunity. If it goes lower, then just buy more, just as simple as that!

Well, one thing for those who have been holding their coins is simply based on the fact that they do not have any other choice anymore than to just hold, knowing that to be selling now is not even the point for anyone who is smart. One way or the other, we will always get to have people who end up panicking for no reason at all, and then people who are smart enough to see the market right now as an opportunity. It happens in every market, so one way, I would not say people are responsible for killing the market, but the truth is that people are basically responsible for killing their own pockets if they sell at loss in the long run.

Nothing is stable for now. We are still in a bear market and the market of course can still manage to hit lower values as time goes by. Like you have said, I would say there is simply no way anything has ended yet and we might still get to see the bears in further actions. There may be some little trend upward in the short term, but that does not mean that has cancelled out the bear market yet, at least for now.

Well, that is a market for you and logically, speculations is one of the things we cannot avoid. Like I always say, people will never stop seeing excuses to give to the reason why the market is behaving in certain ways, which is something I have seen over the years with human nature anyway, we always tend to find something to blame for everything. Call it whatever, we are in a downtrend, and until we hit the rock bottom and we get to see the market switch to a new trend with a higher high and higher low, then, nothing has changed.

Some of the pros you have mentioned is based on the fact they are not being used pretty well, and also you have to understand that when it comes to faster transaction, that is totally based on the ethereum network and either it is congested or not, since all ERC20 tokens do not have their own blockchain and they are based on the ethereum blockchain which is why they are referred to as tokens. With regards to ERC20 following ethereum, one thing for sure is that the whole market follows each other in the same direction and money moves out or move in the same time at the least. So far, we can see that from bitcoin to ethereum, to the erc20 tokens, to other coins with their own blockchain, the whole market is bloody.

We all learn everyday, don't we? It is a market, I am sure a lot of people came unprepared since it was easily opened to everyone and with the promises of getting wealthy overnight, some never took their time to understand how a market operates before even getting in. There is always 2 phases to the market, and it is all about how smart you are able to play your card most of the time, which in most cases, the choice is always going to be yours based on your level of knowledge or your level of ignorance.

So far so good, I can only tell of coinigy on web platforms and then tabtrader application on mobile platform if you want to make use of your API to trade as well as trade multiple exchanges with the use of the API on a single platform. I have fell in love with tabtrader for a while now as a long term trader anyway, so I packed out from coinigy since it is not free and the mobile on the go thrills I get from tabtrader. So in a way, it all depends on your own style of trading, but for use of few indicators with price action analysis, tab trader is great, but for an ENORMOUS level of analysis and more indicators, coinigy should be your best bet.

Gold for sure has always been a very good investment, but in the case where there is a possible or looming financial crisis, it is normal for investors to start pulling their funds into a trusted asset, which of course, considering the rate at which gold has been bullish kind of proves that. We all know what sets gold apart over the years is its ability to at least retain its value to some great extent irrespective of external factors.

Even Santa most definitely would have realized by now that there is nothing much to give as gift in this market, at least before the end of the year. Sure, we might see some relief rally but that would not be something to consider bullish, and by relief rally, we may manage to go test the previous support we broke out from, and maybe after then, we will get to see the next way forward but I would not expect something much for Christmas.

The truth is that all these depends on you as an individual and your style of trading which basically sums up with what you are comfortable with. If you want to day trade and you can cope, then you can manage to be hitting your 1 - 2% daily, but you should know that market is not a rosy thing you will just assume a  consistent 1 - 2% daily or 20-30% monthly, most especially when it is in a bear trend. However, the main thing is to be sure you have what it takes to trade with a strategy and a plan, not just gambling your position.

It depends on what you are holding, but I can say since I have been in this space, I have benefited a lot from it. What is important just as anything else, is to be smart and know at least what you are doing. Your capability to make good investment decisions in the case of anything that a lot of people might consider an issue is what will always set you apart from the general people who have no clue what they are doing.
