Seems a lot of people are expecting global scale tax evasion.

Couldn't this be simply solved by changing the tax model?

Get rid of income tax / tax on your savings and just increase the tax on goods. Seems simple to me and saves a lot of work.

Bitcoin is also a payment system that use bitcoin as its main currency or you can say that the blockchain is the payment system that use crypto for the payment

The lives of those heavily invested in fiat is already being ruined due to 0% interest rates, negative interest rates in denmark and switzerland and a whole host of other things

A mere 0.5% rate hike in the US will totally obliterate pension funds, life savings and investments held by 90% of the country

Everything is possible to fraud,for example to create large btc derivatives market and launch bitcoin printing
It is relativelly easy to do with bitcoin
But i hope it will not happen and finally will be not only btc,ltc,but  will be few globally used digital currencys
But if world will depends on bitcoin not on us that will be  our last days

that's not true, it's not traceable if i simply move funds from a place to another, taxable also, if i don't exchange it to fiat, there are no taxes, and many country don't even tax it regardless

bitcoin is even more dangerous for the governments than cash, otherwise one could not explain why it was banned(and still it is in some countries) while cash was never

2. Government don't like seeing their people using bitcoin, because they can avoid tax, fees & couldn't be tracked easily. So, they won't let bank or anyone to use or accept bitcoin. That's why most bank don't accept bitcoin.
Please correct me if i'm wrong

Would you want your bitcoins stored in the vaults of some bank that can freeze your holdings whenever they feel like and for whatever reason?

The banks will never adopt bitcoin, because those that use bitcoins only use bitcoins and other crypto currencies so that they can completely bypass the banks and conduct frictionless, semi anonymous and peer to peer transactions

The banks just cannot compete with the fact that my qt client does EVERYTHING a bank can do, and more... and also gives users the ultimate control over their finances

I have lived on bitcoin and other crypto currencies for nearly 3 years now

The most simple way to explain bitcoin to someone is to have them use it themselves and let them gain a real sense of the benefits that bitcoin offers in lieu of the traditional banking system

I always say that bitcoin is best used as part of a cocktail of other value transmission and value storage methods

I would say it's already gone mainstream.   

Of course there's huge room for more adoption, and it's not as mainstream as say people having a debit card or phone in their pocket.

I'm excited about the future of bitcoin and or cryptocurrencies.

Change now the title and make ~$260 !!!
The speculation has become very true, the price is increasing.
By this trend i think that bitcoin will have a good value before the next halving.

Do you really think that there's 160 million Bitcoin users?

if the problem of blockchain is solved, and 80% of the people knows about bitcoin then i think we can see a new world with new technology and where bitcoin is the mainstream of life.

yea bitcoins are fairly low rn but couple weeks ago they almost dropped below 200, so im gna wait till they drop to like 210-220 before i buy anymore.
id feel bad about not buying if price only goes up from here lol

basically now? i don't think so, it should happen around march if you want to consider the earlist stage

march april is a good target for the next bubble, like the one that happened in 2013, before the ath, and has brought bitcoin to 230 peak

So true. Money frequently is at the opposite side of general opinion.

Also, a trend is a trend... until the trend is broken and you lose money.

The only reason banks are scared of bitcoin is because they would lose control. They wouldn't be able to make billions out of fees, fines, interest etc.

Fuck the banks.
