With Silk Road even if all those products being sold were legal the tax evasion alone would be enough for putting him away for long time.
Ross Ulbricht facilitated deals way beyond just making a website, Safe Harbor does not apply here.
He knew the risks, he knew what he was doing and chose to continue, that was his choice.

My strategy was like bet 0.0001 on 50% chance and let it lose for 5 times or at least 1 mbtc then I raise my bet to 0.001 bet on 80% chance and bet 5 times and when I lose I immediately change my bet to max say 0.2-0.3 so I win, Never lost with this strategy I hope you all win too

So if SegWit doesn't get adopted, what are the chances of someone starting another coin that does include all the advantages of SegWit?
Already done: http://litecoinblockhalf.com/segwit.phpIt will probably be activated in Litecoin, but we need to wait and see. This is a move to advance not only Litecoin but also Bitcoin.

This has been happening for the last two years, bitcoin still alive despite all the problems when transacting and increased fees without any guarantee of quick and successful transaction or without any increase in user experience.
And there's a simple fix for your problem, change coin, there are a lot of popular and actively traded coins out there, just choose one.

We shall not hide from the difficulties. The blockchain will be 100 go before the end of winter, but nobody cares about that.
BTC has problems. Scalability's being the biggest one. I remember Mike Hearn saying that BTC has failed, a year ago. We may not like him, but the problems he talked about were real, and still aren't solved. Far from it. SegWit looked like a promising solution, but after 6 weeks, it has less than 30% support, with barely 4% gained in the last 30 days. At this rate, it will take years for SegWit to pass. Is there a plan B?
Cautious investors like me are waiting for a clearer future before buying anymore BTC, but to my great surprise, BTC keeps on going up and up. So I have the feeling that the people from China or India (or other places) who are pushing up the price just don't care about BTC. They just want to escape their country's regulations, or failing currency, and that's not good.
I got in the BTC bandwagon because I believed in a decentralized government-free currency, but those newcomers just got in because they saw an opportunity for fleeing. They might flee again fast if somehow they lose confidence in BTC.
As a rule of thumb, slow, stable growth is always better to sudden quick changes.
They will care when they aren't able to move their bitcoin because there 548663254 transactions awaiting confirmation, this might reflect on the price when people start noticing the limitations, may other coins rise...

After this rally up that might get the price of BTC up to 1,300 usd, I am pretty sure BTC is going to crash again and it will hit the 400 usd.
What do you think?
I wouldn't be so sure about that, a lot has changed since then, the price will probably stable above $1000, you need to see this as a correction in the price. Also all the problems with currency around the world bitcoin is becoming a safe haven to safeguard your wealth.

Here are some thoughts, imagine I ask for a loan of 1 bitcoin right now, that's around 916 euros, and I'm going to pay in the next 12 months, 5% interest, if bitcoin's price continues to increase and it can increase to 3000 euros by the end of next year I will spend a lot of money to pay that 1 bitcoin.
What will happen, probably I will default, because that kind of interest is a ripoff, many people will do so, and I'm assuming honesty here not simply trying to scam people.
What can you do when people don't honor their payments?
This is a serious problem with loans denominated in bitcoin, the price is not stable enough to allow for this to happen.

Thanks for the quick response. can you please suggest any best litecoin wallet for storing ltc
Litecoin-qt is the best litecoin wallet out there. Stay away from any cloud mining website, just buy and hold coins, that's the investment.

Bitcoin has gone very well with a market capitalisation of 15billion usd. until now. But i think fiat-money system owners or say the big players in the sytem doesn't consider (and it is not yet) bitcoin a threat to the ongoing system since it is measured by trillions of dollars. What if they start considering bitcoin a threat and say inject 100 million usd. to buy bitcoin at the market with the market price then begin to put it back with 10%-20% lower for some time.Will the price collapse in just a few days or demand rise enough to absorb the injected money?
Someone with that kind of money and influence will just make a law and simply ban bitcoin, it will be much more effective and cheaper.

Yea I think bitcoin has no competition. As for now new crypto currencies are trying their level best to match up with bitcoins. But they are failing. So after for now bicoin has no competition
As of now gold and other presious stones only competition for gold. In few years bitcoin would be the best stock around the world. Still i do not know why any government not accepting bitcoin is the centralized money. Bitcoin is not centralized, it is decentralized which is the only common reason why governments are not accepting it, because they will not be able to track the transactions and money being circulated in the way of bitcoins, and so there is no possibility left for them to trace black-marketers, drug sellers, dark market dealers and terrorist activities which include money laundering. Oh, they do accept it, at some point the USA government was one of the biggest bitcoin holders in the world. You'll be amazed on how traceable bitcoin is, and it will become even more as it is adopted by more and more people.

Holt crap $4.7M raised?!?!?!
that is mind boggling, am watching with intent
Current market cap: $3 047 353 They raised more money than the current project entire valuation, they can forcibly buy everyones AMPs at current market price and still make more than a million dollars.

Amp will see recover after new year.
Why? What's happening after new year that will increase the value of AMPs? Just some hype and then few big players may or may not pump it up to make their exit. I wouldn't hold my breath though. With 90% loss since last ICO hope it's a big hype and a big pump.

There's no impact on my daily life, I don't know any people who own bitcoin, and I don't now any people who's interested in it, usually I'm the one telling people about bitcoin and it's very common it's the first time the hear about it.
I've never been in a business that accepts bitcoin.
