i don't think that speculating is a bad thing because as far as i know, with speculating we can make decision for our own price and with some analysis, sometimes our order can be filled or we can make profit. i admitted that sometimes i am using speculation when i am uncertain to determine the price.

True. Every speculation is based on single user and what he think that is good for him or her.
Speculation is something that individual user see as his/hers opinion the subject in matter. Was this price speculation or something else.


Speculation is an individual opinion in a topic and nothing to do with anyone. If you wanna believe in someone's speculation it's all up to you. It's not bad to speculate as you just trying to make a prediction in some matter. Yes sometimes it make something to hype and other people use this as a tool to make a chaos. Otherwise, speculation has no scientific basis and people just base it on what they seen and heard.

I think it's not a fair thing all about making speculations because making it as a tool for chaos is a big mistake, and unrighteous to all people. However it's agreeable that it has no basis of any reasons to be reliable and not a good source of informations which we can depend on how we decide on the situations in either ways selling or buying bitcoins. That sometime had caused the btc price to fluctuate even more which made other investors into regrets afterall because strong holders really invest and take risk despite of negative specualtions.
Speculating is normal, it will be fine to predict the value as long as we have our plans and that we believe that btc will pump as much as it can. Some were speculating too rude that they make fast decisions that will regret soon.
When you become to trader, you also are speculating because nobody can predict the price of any cryptocurrency exact in future. Therefore, speculating very normal with me, even I love speculating because it look like as try my luck.

True. Traders do this all the time even in the mind they speculate what will it be, but you cannon precit how it will be every time. You guess in one of many possible scenarionr or way to increase your income. Also speculating is more better after some experience in some field or for some particular coin.

There is nothing wrong of being speculative and we need to do more speculation for us to get more out of the market. Bitcoin has been doing well and for those that buy from beginning are really having a nice time now. The temptation to cash out is in all of us and self control is the solution to it.

Just to buy is a little speculative in my opinion. You buy because you expect it to go up and sell someday, so you "speculate" (i.e: guess) that the thing you buy is going up.

That is far from having the intention to buy, sell rebuy lower... etc. but it is speculative in some sense. You can be moderately speculative (it will go up so I buy) or highly speculative (it will go up, and then down, so I buy now, sell later, rebuy... etc.)

I don't think speculating is a bad thing because it gives us hope that our investment will really make profit but there are also those who speculates negatively so it really depends on you yourself if which of those you believe in will benefit you. And yes we are all speculators in our own way, we all have our doubts and of course we strive to make a positive effect out of these speculations and to each his own.

Speculation is not a bad thing, thinking too much over it is. It's good if we have decided that we will put our money into something we believe that it will achieve the expected target some day soon, but then if we think too much and watch out every time it crashes and think to get out in panic when the price plummets with or without any reason then it's not fine at all. It's seriously great to believe, but the best part is to stick with it till we achieve it.

Admit or not, we are all speculators here. And it is just a logical thing to do...why would you invest your money and time if you think that it would not grow or it would just remain the same? All of those people criticizing Bitcoin because of its speculative nature are people who are actually afraid to jump into the water and get wet.

We who are brave enough to jump and get wet in the process are the people who will get benefited when Bitcoin can soon land in the moon...it is just a matter of holding into it and never get tempted to cash-out.

Speculating is not at all a bad thing as to be honest this is one of the many factors why we have people getting into Bitcoin. Will this speculation lead to that dread bubble as shown by other historic bubble collapse in the past? Only time can tell but I do believe that Bitcoin is different...comparing it into tulips seems like a bad idea and doing injustice to Satoshi Nakamoto.

But then again...am sure there are those who believe that speculating is a bad thing for Bitcoin...so give me your reasons why you think so...
Why would it be a bad thing? In the first place, it is about an individual's prediction or perspective on a certain situation. It is normal especially on things related to business. People are speculating based on the present or things that they are experiencing, as a user  I am speculating because I want all of the things to be planned. Speculations may also help an individual to avoid loss of money if he/she already predicted that it won't be a good idea.

Speculation is both good and bad, there is no easy way to say this but that is the truth my friends.
Speculation sometimes help pump the price of certain coin when people hear some great news about that very coin.
In the other hand, speculation may also be used to create "Fake New" to destroy or dump certain coin by competitors or big whales.

You can look in to this from both angles. And this is true its good and bad.
But this is just opinion if you look little bigger yours/mine/his/hers and in the end it will be like we want to hear it or read it. You can take this or that speculation what you want cuz in the end speculation is form of a theory without any hard evidence.

Speculation is risky, sometimes foolish. It distorts the market and exacerbates bubble cycles. But... One of the bitcoin values is that your money is your business. We don't tell each other what to do with each others money. 

That is what decentralization is all about. Speculations has had been in existence ever since and this is one of the essence and practice of the world of business. When we buy and sell we are actually speculating that we bought at a lower price can be sold at a higher price. One side of speculation can be bad in general sense but how do we know if one is investing into something as an speculator from one who is not? It is impossible to know though we can draw from conclusions on general data.

Speculation then is a very subjective matter and the only who knows if one is speculating is the person who is doing it. In a decentralized system, nobody will assessed someone's moves and decision and nobody wills top anybody from doing so. And whether this situation can be bad or good depends on what can happen later with Bitcoin...will there be bubble to burst because of over-speculations? We will witness how history will unfolds itself in the coming months and years...

Speculators are required for every asset class. They are the people who provide liquidity to the markets. If everybody thinks it is going to go up by 3% every year and there are no speculators around, trading volumes will plummet.

No doubt speculators provide order flow to the markets, but in most market structures speculators are not considered liquidity providers. Liquidith providers have a tendency to stabilize prices. Speculators and parasitic traders on the other hand tend to create pumps and dumps.

Speculation is opinion of individual person and such can be taken how you think is good for you. If you think that this or that speculation can be good for your investment and buy/sell opportunity you will use it or you wont. This is how thing are working you will accept that or you wont accept it. This is mostly what you want to hear not what it will be.
speculation is everyone's choice. the result of speculation simply can not be determined. the results can be profitable or can also be detrimental. nothing can ensure the speculation runs smoothly. so if we want to speculate then we must dare to take any risks. the risk of speculation is enormous, so with it all decisions we make can determine our future.

Speculation is not bad at all. Correct Speculation cannot just come with lot of knowledge or luck, it is rather a god gift ability to think of the future. I have a friend of mine whom i always ask where the bitcoin price will go from now on and every time he give me correct answers as he has so much good speculation skills.
Lol, It is luck based, speculation is not really related to knowledge maybe some of the specualtion is based on knowledge and researches but still it produces wrong results, speculation is not bad at all but using it without even using the 'gut-feel' and the knowledge and the skill that speculation needed is dangerous , specially if there is a big amount involved in that speculation process.

Speculators are mainly the people who need to direct others to invest in something or sell something out. They don't make analysis and research before they start to specuate about something. They do this on purpose for their own benefit.

Bitcoin has an unpredictable nature. Also, since we are speculating about the future, the unpredictability is very high. Since Bitcoin is unpredictable, the only way we can do is to have some speculations and expect it to happen. Nothing is really wrong about speculations. It's just how we deal with unpredictable things.

Speculation is necessary to determine the real market price. Due to them, mass ups and downs of bitcoin cost take place. Yes, in fact, each of us is a bit of a speculator, since everyone is looking for a way to make a profit when trading currency.

Speculators are required for the people to get balance everything by everyone's opinion. This is only up to the people if they want to believe to what the speculators tells them what to do. This will also be the guide for those new comers to bitcoin, and this is how they will learn through the speculators idea's.

I dont see anything wrong with speculation. I really like to speculate about coins or cryptocurrencies, if we dont speculate then most of us would not buy altcoins/bitcoins anymore, it is simple as that.
Most of us use to read the speculate forum section on this forum before buying any coin, and that is the same that i do everytime i invest in anything new.
maybe speculating too much could be risky, but i dont see any problem with it.

i also think that there is nothing wrong in speculation, in fact speculation is not such an easy think. only expert and experienced people have the ability to speculate about the price of bitcoin, i think one can become an expert if he will spend a good time in the market and will do a good study about bitcoin and other altcoin market. but still it also depending inner ability of a person which is God gifted and do not have with everyone.
