The next directions the market will take remain difficult to predict, but chances are low that we will see another crash as it happened a few weeks ago. And most of the analyzes I've seen so far point out that there is great potential for Bitcoin to deliver good results throughout the year... But it's hard to know what will happen tomorrow, or the day after... Short-term predictions are Something that I consider more difficult in that market.

This is probably true, rather than being the result of a quick pump, the price has risen more steadily this time. I think the people who wanted to sell at that price range have already done it, and apparently the price has gained enough support lately. There are many signs that indicate that, in fact, this may be a great year for Bitcoin.

I see in the proposal a number of features that can potentially generate incentive to the use of this crypto. If developers do a good job to achieve such goals, the features present in it can make the project a cryptocurrency that differs from most cryptos in the market.
Good projects have become rare lately, so the arrival of this project will probably be seen as a good opportunity for investors.

Both are good cryptocurrencies, mainly because they have fair distribution, active community and technical aspects that differentiate these currencies from the others. But I'm not sure if this is the right time to buy... if Bitcoin continues to go up in value, I think Litecoin has better chances to remain stable in the market, but maybe Monero suffers some price drops.

Good points. It is a type of game whose design was made for users who understand the aspects you mentioned. Unfortunately, some users ignore such aspects and see this game as a way to get rich quick. I do not think that the will to get rich is a problem, but surely that is not the best way to achieve this purpose.

One thing I can not understand about cloud mining is the fact that if the hashpower these companies are selling can make a profit, then why don't they use that hashpower to favor themselves?
Some people argue that such companies prefer to share profit with users. Well, if they actually intended to share profit with users, then they would not put extremely high maintenance fees.

The fact that fiat currency is a physical currency is seen as something positive for some people, but the truth is that this is an aspect that brings a number of problems, such as the extra expense to store it in banks and the ease with which this kind of money can be faked.
With regard to Bitcoin, there are ways to store it in physical forms, but this creates an additional cost. In addition, most people have a smartphone these days, making it easier to use the currency.

I think the main problem is that, even using methods of analysis, in gambling the chances of winning are still low, as there are a number of variables that are difficult to control. In trading, in fact the analysis is difficult, but there are more ways to study the market and decrease the chances of losses.

Probably not, and what makes things even worse is the fact that, according to some comments, he has a large percentage of hashpower.
I read that a 95% consensus is required for SegWit activation. Does anyone know how much of that Roger Ver has?

The truth is that bittrex added many coins that probably should not be on the website. Many of them had almost zero trading volume, the developers of the currencies also did not contribute, because the development was very slow. I believe that from now on bittrex will be more cautious when choosing altcoins to be listed.

Reaching the two hundred dollar range is a very unlikely scenario because the cost of mining is very high, and miners would be at a loss in such a scenario.
Even the five hundred dollar range would be improbable. This would only happen if users start losing their confidence in Bitcoin. I don't see any reasonable reasons for this to happen.

Khan Academy is a reputable site, but to do a deeper study, it will certainly be necessary to understand the subject in more depth.

A few months ago I saw a thread here at bitcointalk with some references: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1595704.0

The chances of getting ROI in this service are also very low, but this is probably the best option among the other cloud mining services.
The problem is that at one time or another the difficulty of mining will increase, in addition, the maintenance fee is high, making the situation of the user even more difficult.

With regard to market manipulation, I also think that this is a difficult market to manipulate... not as difficult as larger markets, such as the stock market or the forex market, of course, but the point is that as Bitcoin gains more users over time, there is a greater volume of negotiations and the market becomes more complex.

In 2013 the market was smaller, there were fewer users, less liquidity and there were not many exchanges, the main one being Mt. Gox. Nowadays the situation is quite different. There is a larger user base, more exchanges and even high profile investors putting money into it.
All this favors the existence of a more stable market, with increasing and real demand, causing that the price is not only result of manipulation.

Maybe not 1k soon, but the price is likely to stay between $ 850 and $ 950. It is better if the price rises more steadily... After a certain period varying in this range, it is probable that values higher than a thousand dollars are reached.

Some experts say, based on technical analysis and fundamentals, that in the middle of the year it is possible that Bitcoin is worth around two thousand dollars. I personally think that, in a few months, the price may be well above the values seen a few weeks ago, but it is still too early to know...

I'm not sure if it is a scam, but the gains seem unrealistic. In any market it is very difficult to obtain between 4% and 5% per week. In most markets this is difficult even within a month. Generally a gain of 1.5% to 3% a month is what very experienced traders are able to get.

The network would certainly continue to work, but the problem is that many people would lose a lot of money if price fell to such a value. Stability is a very important factor for a currency that seeks global adoption. Therefore, price matters, as it is a reflection of the efficiency and stability of the currency.

Bitcoin will certainly achieve a greater degree of success, mainly because this solves real-world problems. But to become a currency adopted by most merchants, it will certainly take more than a decade. The number of people who know Bitcoin is lower than many people think. This is a process that involves many vairables and it can take a long time to happen.

This is an interesting observation, because I recently saw reports of users complaining about glitches on gambling websites, and these were services that were known and trusted by most in the community. This is just one of the reasons why I think you have to be very careful when gambling online.
