When a trader have enough bitcoins with them then bitcoin Market manipulation is a common thing in the market. We all know that there are pumps and dumps created just to have profit when market is not moving that fast. Sometimes a single company like JP recently caused the market crash from 49k to the 33k dollars by using strong words against bitcoin (classic FUD) and when market was crashed to the 33k or less they swoop in and made big splash.
So it is okay to observed this kind of behavior. People with experience will simply keep their calm and either hodl or purchase more.

There are thousands of cryptocurrencies available in the market. Every now and then you will see a new ICO . At this stage bitcoin is around $163,037,447,966   worth market capital. It is not that easy to crash a currency worth that much and spread all over  world. Sometimes crashing a company or currency is somewhat easy compared to the entity spread across multiple continents.
Even if someone tries to crash the bitcoin in US or europe, markets from other part of world will happily cash in for the opportunity.

First thing first, stock market is heavily regularized at least for common investors. There are strict laws against the company or person doing insider trading, artificial pumps and dumps. Come to the bitcoin world there are no laws. In fact pumps and dumps are common phenomenon in the bitcoin or for that matter crypto currencies. Warrens picked stock have done well in long term.
Now from the conspiracy theorists perspective, stock markets are tightly managed and controlled by the few big financial institutes or companies. there was a study which showed that in a year or two the percentage of trade success of one of biggest financial company from the wall street was 100%. Imagine not a single trade they made in two year gone south. All trades were hit. And they do thousands of microtransaction on daily basis. If this is not manipulation then what is?
Again don't give importance to what others are saying. Keep your head calm and invest bitcoin and HODL for long.

If bitcoin community is still significantly small in a country then there is no point in banning the bitcoin is first place. Because that small group or community wont be able to make much impact on the economy. So there is no harm to the economy. However banning bitcoin will definitely affect the people from that country from prospect of getting rich or improve their financial situation with legal means. I mean buying bitcoin and getting rich after value of bitcoin increases is profitable to the people. And they are not committing any crime nor any fraud as well. A country could collect the tax from the people when they encash their profit from the bitcoin.

Few Years later when you pick up the market price of bitcoin from todays exchange people will say, ohh dear how cheap was bitcoin at that time. Only 11000 dollars per bitcoin. Because at that time bitcoin would be sitting at 40000 or 50000 dollars mark. Thus any purchase you made at this stage will be profitable. What happened in the past is not revertible. But we have the time and opportunity today. make use of it. grab that chance and make large of it. Buy now whatever coins you could and in future you will be happy to see your bitcoin grown in to higher value.

I would differ from retailer will accept the bitcoin if its value stabilizes. In fact any retailer will be and should be happy to get bitcoin because even if bitcoin price at time of reception goes high and after a day or two slides by 20 percent, that would not cause the damage. Because in matter of week or two bitcoin price will go way above the price at reception. Like if price of bitcoin at time of transaction was 10000 dollars and after two days it slipped to 900 dollars. No worries because in the next week bitcoin is touching the 1100 dollars mark. Thus it is already surpassed the value at the time of purchase.

Period of nine years is not that long to decide whether a currency is capable of handling large scale transactions. In fact even after nine years developers are not in position to modify the code to accommodate the far more needed solution for bitcoin to be able to handle the micro transactions. We need long term solutions and for that we need visionary like Satoshi to come with solution.
Bitcoin is strong currency and from time to time it has proved its worth by coming strongly after suffering a jolt like mt. gox and more recent JP morgan tactic of FUD. The day when developers come with micro transactions n other transaction related complexities bitcoin will be unstoppable.
To frank bitcoins is now the strongest asset in world and will remain for coming nearby future.

Government creating their crypto currencies is already happening and many economists are thinking in that way. Maintaining and creating the fiat cash is not easy from cost management perspective. At this stage, as pioneer project a blockchain based economic transactions are being tried or evaluated in some countries. Countries like India where one of it major bank is attempting this along with other private sector players. Thus once this project succeeds the day is not long when we could see govt using their own crypto for transactions.

Dont bother with holding ETH at this moment. If you want to buy bitcoin (satoshis) then go ahead with it. You could start by purchasing as much amount you could afford. If monthly investment is too less to purchase the bitcoin then go ahead with bimonthly strategy or trimonthly strategy. That will help you in getting satoshis(bitcoins) in chunk.

Altcoins were in business and will remain in business no matter what happens with bitcoin. Bitcoin is standing on its own. So as many other alternative crypto currencies are standing on there own. Once there was time where market movements in the bitcoin would affect the altcoin market significantly. However recently many of these coins have garner larger investor base. Coins like ethereum, dash, monero, litecoin etc etc are today looking strong on their own. Price of these coins is less affected by bitcoin movement.
In short altcoins will remain in business. Strongest and brightest of them will thrive in future. Look at wave as recent example.

Bitcoin is being used as investment tool. It has been used by hedge funds for astronomical returns.  Recent news from a cite shows that there are nearly 120 funds which are closely focusing on the bitcoin very closely. Bitcoin is not being used as store of value. Normally a store of value is something which has stable value and gradual rate of appreciation. Like gold. Bitcoin is an investment tool which has  best returns on investments so far. It will go on increasing the return on investment as market is not closely watched nor restricted.

Not exactly. More and more People  are still moving toward bitcoin world. There is significant amount of people who are not in cryptos at all. Also this bitcoin era will only be existing in investment scenario and not in day to day life currency transactions. Thus bitcoin era will be limited only to the savings and investment part of the life/society. Nothing more than that.

In todays world we almost all living in cities are using virtual currency all the time (netbanking, credit cards, online payment gateways from many mobile vendors). Before credit cards or internet banking it was very difficult to move the money from place to place. I meant the transfer of money was a lengthy process. Often would stretch over few days. We could even see this kind of performance today itself. Just submit a cheque of different town in a  different bank. It would at least takes three to four days to get money into your account. Whereas sending money from the internet or credit card, debit card, mobile payment gateway is instantaneous.

Obvious good points are :
* Once configured correctly do work precisely.
* Cost effective. Save tons of money.
* Could work 24x7 days through out year. Years after year.
* Improved AI has given more power to the decision making in robots thus their decision are purely analytical. Rather than emotional.
* No strikes for payment issue.

Cons:
* A lot of human beings finding themselves out of job and that too when they are over 35 years or 40 years old. This age is very vulnerable as people are less inclined to learn new technology thus rendering them less useful with advanced technology. If person skills are redundant and can be automated then only way to earn living for that person is to find another field.
* Over reliance on robot caused some failures which were not foreseen while programming the robot.
* Increased laziness in human beings.
* Increased the lack of trust between humans.

Bitcoin is not officially accepted as currency in many countries. However many countries are recognizing bitcoin in different way. Like some are recognizing it as asset, some as property, some as wealth. Thus it it is not true that many countries are not accepting bitcoin. Accepting bitcoin as national currency will undermine the national economy easily by enemy of that country. Thus many countries are not accepting it as currency.
Fine line is that in many countries bitcoin is NOT illegal which grants it as legal. Whereas five to six countries have banned bitcoin directly.
Bitcoin at this stage it will be very difficult accepted by any country as currency because of volatile nature. Speed of bitcoin transaction sucks big time.

If you want to use the bitcoin as preferred way of transfer then you need to purchase bitcoins in India. After that either transfer those coins to the Canadian exchange for selling OR sell those coins directly to the local Canadian contact interested in the bitcoin purchase.
If transfer fees is high then You could also think ethereum or dash etc for quicker transactions and low transfer rate. Only thing would be that you need to transfer those coins to the exchange and then sell them.

Where did you try to buy bitcoins in India? Most of the exchanges like localbitcoin, coinsecure etc and app-based bitcoin service providers like zebpay, unocoin have netbanking facility available with them. There is another webbased portal available for bitcoin and other cryptos (you need to find the announcement thread from this subsection).
You could buy bitcoins via cash as well, there is option on localbitcoin to purchase the coin with cash.

You need to post this thread in the   " Bitcoin Forum > Economy > Marketplace > Services ". That section is more suitable for these kind of subjects. I would like mention about it is difficult to get the prices you want to  against your skill set. If you have the skill set then show some of those as example in the thread. That will give you better offers.
