This would be an interesting time for developing countries to try and develop themselves in Fintech and getting out of certain socio-economic climates that they are born into. Bounty campaigns can really help these people. Also investing within the currency is just a great way to make money  hahaha

No not at all I have been predicting this particular movement towards  a significant dollar rate for Bitcoin. Now is the time to think carefully about investing your BTC wisely in certain ICO's or into your wallet for further crypto spikes in the financial market.

If we were subjected to a centralised system for Bitcoin we would see nation states look to tax all Bitcoin holding with national insurance payments etc... We really need to make sure BTC is nicely spread across multiple states so the accumulation or monopoly of these digital coins doesn't just fall into a few select governments / banks hands.

Always have been always will be! I think its so vital that we remain confident within ourselves in regards to Cryptocurrency and blockchain. Hopefully we will see in the next coming months a further investment into all digital currencies and will see more multinationals and tech start ups open new ICO's encouraging more scope for greater success.

Its true many people have heard about Bitcoin in the news and other areas. But I would be fairly sure that everyone could not state how Blockchain works, is meant to move us toward decentralisation and also what the main functions are of the currency.

Most likely in some respects. The exponential growth that BTC has experienced has been very shocking to many economists a like. Where is it going to be going now I wonder? I think it will now stagnate for a while after the fork and especially with its new fall. I think BTC cash will look to start rising and other forms of BTC and ETH will start to catch up with BTC while it stagnates.

I think Bitcoin has really placed itself in the drivers seat within crypto. But there are now limitations for Bitcoin and there have been some real comptetiors emerging in the market place. One for example is Ethereum which now is able to transfer secure data through Blockchain. I feel many health companies will start to invest within this area.

Over the last 4 years of Bitcoin we have seen investments in the currency come from all over, from large multinationals to tech start ups giving coin offerings on multiple ICO's. With this great investment within the crypto market I think the technology and interest supplied into Bitcoin and other currencies such as ETH will inevitably save BTC.

I too come to the conclusion that bitcoin is not a bursting bubble, as its gradual movement toward a general international community acceptance is more of a possibility, I fundamentally believe its scenarios of high volatility will create a large uncertainty within the market place and will then subsequently look to move to further AML and KYC compliances for further regulation.

Another very aggressive move by the Bank of China but also their government. Once again displaying classic censorship in fear of their citizens making money on ICO's instead of going through their own centralised channels.

There a substantial number of elements that Bitcoin can bypass. Such as avoiding certain transaction charges and tax bubbles. Flat doesn't give these kind of parameters when using it on FX or on other digital financial markets.     

Many ask what the future of blackchain will eventually look like. Will it become more centralised? Will it be come controlled by various neo-liberal institutions? Or will it be able to be completely free and work on its own? At the moment it is now fundamentally important that blockchain will not fall into banking and government hands.

I think its a great idea for students to get involved with Blockchain is and what cryptocurrency sets out to achieve. It would extremely helpfull for children to asset from a young age the importance of decentralization so the next generation will allow the blockchain experiment to continue.

I would recommend kraken.com it is simple and effective and also can do direct transfers into your bank account once you've made your switch. Or if you wish to keep your new BTC in the wallet it also has a great reputation for being extremely secure as a wallet function too.

I use this website and it has always provided very low exchange rates and good professional service.

This would be a huge shame for India, not just because it fundamentally goes against the main principles of Blockchain but would also impact many livelihoods of Indian families who rely on family members in participating in ICO bounties to generate ETH/ Tokens for their families survival. I hope that the Indian government will rethink their stance on Cryptocurrency as it could have a devastating effect on quality of life in a country I love dearly.

Because inevitably investing or buying into Bitcoin was always a profitable idea to those who knew what the potential was when it started in 2013.

I think decentralisation and little state interference would always be a profitable scheme to start buying into.

I have read many articles in mainstream media about Bitcoins future a long with the crypto market. I think in general there is a general hope that the Blockchain project will inevitably fail. However I think this only because many commenters still find comfort in a more centralised banking environment where an economy or state currency for that matter can be micro managed. I hope we will see a greater advancement in the market as more multinationals and tech start ups enter the ICO game and start to pay more attention to newer digital currencies entering Blockchain.

I don't believe its ever too late to get into the vast opportunity of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies around the world. I think that in fact there are many newer opportunities within BTC and ETH than there were at the start of the crypto project. We now see complex bounties used all over the world connecting many translations , signatures, Facebook posts and Tweets endorsing multinationals and a great array of tech startups. I would advise getting on board immediately!

I agree, the technological advancements are going to be so large within this space that in fact there will be no stopping these currencies from expanding massively. With more and more interest within Bitcoin and also Ethereum and the likes too, we are seeing a range of multinationals and tech start ups investing into ICO's and various different currencies giving crypto markets a significant growth.

The future of the currency will largely look upon the role that Bitocoin is going to play within Blockchain and how Ethereum and other currencies will in turn play a role in stabilizing Bitcoin and the cyrptomarket space. As we can see more and more multinationals and tech start ups have been investing not only in their own ICO's, but also in purchasing certain currencies such as BTC and ETH and have been making a lot of investment into various different areas of this currency. Hopefully we will not see the dreaded bubble bursting as many financial times and guardian columns have been predicting in the next coming months.
