It should be the other way around but there are various reasons why altcoins are falling too even if bitcoin is falling. Probably the main reason many altcoins are falling because in anticipation of bitcoin split, many people are selling their altcoin stash, converts it into bitcoin and convert it into fiat to secure money.

For me it is quite interesting but how would you make it happen? It is also illegal in some countries like you said but what idea in mind do you have to change it? Also I might not contribute in such idea because I might not be of some use to it and all I can do is to show support for it when an ICO about that has been launced. I would also like to know how would you keep each customers identity hidden when they would stay at a hotel?

Its very possible that bitcoin will fall to 1000$ but I think it won't happen in the next two weeks. It might happen at August 1 because of the upcoming fork, but price might not fall that much because at August 1 there is a probability of it going up in price if the changes implemented was good. Even if that is the case, bitcoin will sooner or later probably fall to 1000$, and if that happens we might see the new floor of bitcoin price.

It is safe to buy bitcoin now even if a fork were to happen because even if there would be a split in chain, we all would have the same amount of bitcoins in the two chains so there's no need to worry about losing bitcoin you just need to store them in a bitcoin wallet that you own and currently controls a private key. Transactions would never become neglected as it never happened because a transaction is forever saved in the blockchain records so it is safe to purchase bitcoin now if you want to.

The best exchange to trade daily for me is c-cex because withdrawal of bitcoin here charges low in fees and is literally just like the other exchanges. I trade on many exchanges like c-cex, poloniex, and bittrex just because these three for me is the best exchanges to use. To prevent fee charges burning your profit when difference is small between buying and selling, just simply put up a bigger investment, better yet look for another coin to trade with a big difference in buy and sell price.

Its better to buy now since many altcoins are on the red and has dumped a little and probably, many altcoins will pump. Bitcoin too is on the dump so I think it is a very good time to buy, I expect price will soar again if the changes implemented by August 1 is good but if it is not good, I think it would dump and recover later on so it is still a great time to buy.

I think it would not affect bitcoin at all, since stock market and bitcoin is two completely unrelated things so even if stock market falls, bitcoin won't rise or fall. It would only affect bitcoin if many who sold their stocks got interested with bitcoin but for now I think the current state of bitcoin would not attract many stock market investors.

Of course many are afraid of August 1 but not all bitcoiners are. You said it yourself what will happen if the decision is bad and in addition to that, bitcoin might be dethroned because people might try to find another coin that is better than bitcoin but still it would still have a price. When it got good and transactions really became faster, for sure it will rise in price so it is a normal risk that everyone takes.

Among the upcoming ICO's I think that the promising ICO's there in your linked website is Gilgames because of it's unique concept of delivering an option for gamers to have a platform that is ethereum based to compete with each other. Another promising one is fundyourselfnow because it is a crowd funding backed token.

That is a pretty good choice considering that dash has been stable for quite a while now and ether has just finished it's dump. The only altcoin I don't like in your stash is only zcash and if you will ask me why I don't like it because I think it does not have enough potential but either way, you can get a profit or two from there so it's still a good line up of altcoins to invest into.

If you are still in the profit why hesitate to sell? I think it is better to sell your ETH now if you are still in profit because I believe it will be a long time again before ETH recovers from this dump or not at all since it looks so hyped to me, because of ICO's that accepts ETH in their crowdsale. If you are not satisfied with the price now then make your own decision when to sell.

I don't think that it is a big thing from China but what I do know is that there is still a lot of potential to profit in antshares and is overrated at the moment. Even if that is the case, for now it is still profitable and is sitting to a price just right for one to enter and sell in profit. Despite thinking that way, unlike you I think it is quite good to invest into but I don't think of the coin itself as good.

If I were you even if they are overpriced right now and has a lot of potential to go down I wouldn't sell any of them because doing the stop loss strategy might make you regret selling early in the future. I think your portfolio holds some potential to go up in price in the future especially MCO, LSK, NMR and ANS so at the very least try to hold your portfolio you might be able to sell it with profit in the near future.

I don't think that bitcoin will be devalued to zero in the near future but it might be in the distant one. Even if there will be a hack that will result to a big dump, it wouldn't devalue bitcoin to zero as long as some of the users contiune to use bitcoin. It would only be possible if bitcoin were to be dethroned and has many shitty bugs but for now it is okay.

To compare the two, mining is the process by which transactions are verified and added to the public ledger, known as the block chain, and also the means through which new bitcoin are released according to investopedia which would only be profitable if you have a good mining rig or mining setup to begin with. Buying and Holding on the other hand is a passive investment strategy in which an investor buys and holds the bitcoin bought for a long period of time, regardless of fluctuations in the market according to investopedia again and is typically more profitable than mining most of the time unless you have a very good equipment for mining and a source of cheap electricity.

Volatility is something that must not be controlled and can't be controlled fully and if it is to be done, a person with many btc and fiat just needs to set a big buy and sell order to control volatility temporarily but no one can keep this up forever so I believe there's no way volatility can be controlled for a long time.
You are somehow right at the part that many people want to make profits through bitcoin but that's not the only reason why price always fluctuate. Manipulations of those who want to profit aside, price always fluctuate because of a whale selling or buying because he/she needs fiat or btc, or just many people buying up or selling btc just for their needs without ever thinking of making profits.

We can say that for now bitcoin has more value than 1 OZ of gold but I would like to see bitcoin having value more than 10 grams of gold at the very least and has to stay at that price for months for me to call it as bitcoin flippening gold. Like what the post above mine said, it doesn't really mean anything and it will not effect the future price movements of bitcoin.

If you are asking where to get bitcoin since your post suggests it that way, you can get from altcoin trading, offering services here in bitcointalk, and many more.methods but I'd you don't want to invest join altcoin bounty campaigns. If you are talking literally who supplies bitcoin to the market, miners and users that trades or sell are the ones supplying bitcoin to those who wanted to buy it on exchanges.

After segwit, I predict a short term drop in terms of price because some people may not like it being implemented so maybe they will dump their bitcoin stash. Later on it will go up again and the effect of the price drop if it were to happen will only last for few days or weeks. Considering some more users might enter bitcoin again if transactions get fast again, I expect that we would test 3000 $ price again.

To answer your question number 1, August 1 is going to be a bad or a good day depending on the changes implementrd so I expect a volatility as we approach the date because of the uncertainty. To answer your question number two, I would consider buying back in right after the news about August 1 hardfork has been released if it is good because it is the best time to rebuy if it would be a success and was good. If it wasn't wait a little more a few days or weeks before debuting back bitcoin.
