ı told million times to invest on ripple. some of them do not agree with me because of the total amount distributed.
38 billion is too much for this kind of a project.
If ripple increases to 20 usd, the total market cap will be three times bigger than bitcoin.Is it possible according to you?
you should consider also this point.
lol. if ripple can reach 20$ I believe bitcoin will reach 100k $ soon. dont say any like this. In the truth I think ripple can reach 3-5$. not higher than this on 2018. ripple need more news and update to have that price Well we can't know for sure, i mean we didn't predict that bitcoin could reach this price in just a year, and for sure we can't prdedict what the price for ripple is going to be, who would have thought that a coin that came from no where can surpass lite coin and dash and the other old coins and be the third most traded coin after bitcoin and ethereum, the price of ripple is actually rising pretty quickly compared to how other coins first started out, and this made many people jum into investing in it in hopes for making profit in the future. |

Today this B2X hard fork has launched: http://b2x-segwit.ioBut they are not the same people behind Bitcoin Core , and there are just a bunch of exchanges that support that, and that suggests me this is not the official fork. So we are going to have 2 different Segwit2x currencies ? And most important: if we have BTC on our local wallet, how can we claim these B2X ? There seems not to be any info. If Yobit and HitBTC were able to automatically give B2X to BTC holders today, we must be able to claim B2X manually by ourselves as well, as the claim procedure should be the same for anyone who has a private key. In my opinion all the forks that we had this year are just all scams, they are all just new altcoins that claim to be part of the bitcoin just to get a good name for them and to make it be successful and get a lot of people into them, and obviously the segwit2x is no different it claims to make bitcoin great and make transaction time faster, but so as the other forks and all they did is bring the bitcoin down and divided the community, as fas claiming b2x it is still not supported by the online wallets such as coinbase or blockchain, but if you have your bitcoin on a wallet where you have access to your private keys than you will be able to claim them. Block chain did support the segwit back in November but after it was canceled they didn't make any statment about this one, so that goes to show you how useless it is. |

There is really no explanation for this weird sudden acceptance of ripple, except the fact that it had a high increase rate compared to any cryptocurrency release, a lot of people have high hopes for it and they think that it might be a good investment in the future, and they don't want to make the same mistake for bitcoin or any other currency, and that is not getting as much coins as they could when its price was low, i really don't know why they prefer it over other coins, from what I read it is no different from them, it does not have any new ideas to bring to the market. |

As we can see the cryptocurrencies are still being established in the knowledge, socialization and full utilization of humanity, could the cryptocurrencies cause the use of physical money to be eliminated, is this possible?
Alternative payment method other than fiat were introduced a long time agao, people right use credit cards, paypal which are digital moeny, this year we have seen the rise of the cryptocurrencies and the increase of their usage and this goes to the fact that bitcoin had a crazy price that lead to it being under the spotlight of media and other sources, so people got to know it more and know what cryptocurrency is, so in my opinion cryptocurrency can become eventually a payment method that is officialy implented in the market, with that i mean that you can pay with bitcoin for exemple anywhere and at anytime, but cryptocurrencues taking over and making physical moeny dissapear is probably not going to happen, because cryptocurrencies are decentrelized and besed on blockcahin network means no goverment or bank can control it, so no goverment money being used would mean that the goverment can no longer have power, which is impossible and this is why accepting cryptocurrencies or using them is a major problem for all the goverments right now. |

We have recently seen a increase of threads that are trying to influence people to abandon Bitcoin for the REAL Bitcoin. Have we considered for ourselves, what the REAL Bitcoin is for us and not what the REAL Bitcoin is according to other people?
~ Is Bitcoin the REAL Bitcoin because Roger Ver says so?
~ Is Bitcoin the REAL Bitcoin because Coinbase says so?
~ Is Bitcoin the REAL Bitcoin because the Lightning Network is the ultimate scaling solution?
~ Is Bitcoin the REAL Bitcoin because your local exchange accept it?
~ Is Bitcoin the REAL Bitcoin because the majority of some forum says so?
~ Is Bitcoin the REAL Bitcoin because it is more useful to you now?
~ Is Bitcoin the REAL Bitcoin because Block sizes are the only TRUE method to scale Bitcoin?
You must decide this on your own, without other people telling you what you must believe.
I will tell you WHY I believe in Bitcoin, because I am passionate about one or more aspects of the technology, but you might differ from me. I will tell you why I differ from you and things might become heated, but it is still up to you.
Decide for yourself, what is your REAL Bitcoin and respect other people's opinion on what they think their REAL Bitcoin is.
Many people these days have came into bitcoin not knwoing what it is, except the fact that it is a way of making moeny, they treat it as an investment and that is all, they don't know what it represents, i won't lie at first i was one of those people, i saw the price of the bitcoin and i thought that it would be a good way to make moeny, but after a couple of months of using it and diving into it, i learned what it truely is, i discoverd the true reson why satoshi nakamoto created this currency, for me bitcoin is a way of life it makes me feel like i am actualy in control, knwong that i am not being watched by goverment or banks that limite the way i spend my hard earned moeny. |

Bitcoin with it's high fees and slow transaction times is hardly suitable for payments – spending the same fee whether you buy a coffee or send $100,000 is a joke and the promise of scaling solutions such as the Lightning Network hasn’t been fulfilled.[1]
While there's no shortage of old and new believers to keep the party going, along with plenty of developers working to create better, forked versions of bitcoin, I’m betting my chips on a more flexible alternative.
The door is wide open for blockchains that use smart contracts, like ethereum,[2] bitcoincash, litecoin and more...... 2018 Will Be ....... Year’s? [Writer choose ethereum, what will be your choice?and why?]
Source: [1] [2] Alothough bitcoin has not been a great way of payment and does not have a fast transaction time, it is still the best cryptocurrency to ivest in, bitcoin is and will forever be the crypto users's favorite, and that is reflected from its price and how it was able to reach crazy numbers this year, and since it became very popular thsi year many have invested their money in it, and that is why it will always emerge trimphthed, so maybe in 2018 we won't see a fast or a crazy growth like this year, but defiently it will always stay on top, and will always keep on growing. |

I never heard any news regarding closing of gambling sites, but I guess it will earn a lot of violent reaction if it is happen. For now I can't gather any information with that news but still believe that it will not happen. Because I know that most of the people are habiting playing gambling.
I'm strongly believe it's about the money problem not about the violences. Well its always about money, directbet gave their statement as they still in green when they closed their business, but most of the the time it was closed due to money issue they can't handle some whales who knows how to take advantage as they can quit right away after winning. A part from that, bitcoin transaction time and bitcoin fees have became a major issue for not just only direct bet but for all of the bitcoin betting sites, people can no longer do live betting which was one of the most popular ones because of how transactions may take a long time to get confirmed, fees were not a probelm if they were receing bets, but when sending out winings it costs them a lot of money, say if someone was to bet 1$ and ends up not wining or losing the sites would have to pay fees to return it for him, so they end up losing money. |

Hi,
It seems BTC is going to crash again. When compare the btc charts in the last several years, it is common to crash in late Dec and January. Is that happening again? According to the price action, btc dump possible at this time. Keep watch btc.
We cannot compare what happend in the past years for what is happening right now, last year was completely differnet to this year, bitcoin didn't get as much development as it got this year, and the price was not as high as it is right now so there was not many people who invested in it this year, this year we had the btc cash hard fork which lead to the price going up and after it there was some hype for the segwit fork so people were stacking up on it until it was canceld which lead to price drop, but with it going to take place after all the price is starting to go up again, so unless this fork turns out to be a total failure, the price will skyrocket. |

Hello, What will happen to Bitcoin tomorrow 28th? Will it raise? Will go down? My bet is btc will explode to the upside!  There is really no telling what will hapne to the bitcoin after this hard fork, for the most part after what we have seen from the other major hard fork of btc cash, the price has went up quite a bit, and after that the otehr hard forks didn't really do anything because they were not effective and din't change much about the network, however Segwit team promises to make bitcoin great again with less fees and faster transactions, and from this statment there were a lot of hype to it so hopefully they will go with it and not cancal it like last time, and probably if it works it will have a great influnece on the price. |

Its far from a bubble until McDonalds, Walmart, and Gas Stations begin to accept bitcoin......
Untill then, we have a long ways to go!
Buy and hold is my advice.
I agree about the holding part, but right now bitcoin is well knwon for many people and i don't think that McDonald, or any other company that will start accepting bitcoin will infulence its price highly, i mean the price of bitcoin is high and keeps on going even higher, so tehre is no man with the mind is going to go to McDonal and buy a burger for 0.0006 btc, not after what happend with the 10000 btc pizza guy, that amount of bitcoin could be worth 10$ now but in a year or 2months it could be worth 100$, bitcoin is not meant for being used on daily basis, it is an investment that needs to be held and saved until the time is right to collect the profit. |

Since bitcoin fees have strated getting high and the transactions became slow, gambling for me has become difficult, because for me gambling on matchs is all about making dicesion and doing live betting, so it is all about timing, so since then i actualy quit gambling, because one time i sent transaction and i did not reach the betting site because it was slow and did not reach in time before the betting is closed, a bet that would have made me a lot of money if got it, and it is not just about us gamblers, many gambling sites such as directbet which was a very popualr bitcoin beting site has shut down because of the fees and the transaction time.

Im a newbie both in this forum and the cryptocurrency subject, so I had been reading a lot and studying in the last couple weeks.But I still have some doubts. I always see people saying that there is a bubble in the bitcoin market and that there are many people who own big ammounts of bitcoins and can manipulate the market, so i dont know if now its a good time for a person who doesnt own any bitcoins yet to start buying then (i planned to hold them for a long time, not trading beetwenn exchanges) or if i should wait more. I also see fear about corrections and dont know well how those work and if they have an specific time to happen. Anyway, sorry for my bad english and thank you for the replies, even though I know im te only one responsable for my money.
Well we have seen what bitcoin was able to do this year, the profit that people were able to maje from just saving it in their wallet around the year, is crazy, since bitcoin jumped to 5k the intresst in it grew even larger and that lead to its price going even more, the train of the growth haven't slowed down up until these days where it strated jumping back and forth between 15k and 12k, and with the segwit2x hard fork around teh corner there is more hype for it than ever with promises to changing the network speed and fees, so most defintly the price will go up maybe 20k or 25k in the begining of 2018, so i can say that this might be the chance to stack up on bitcoin because you don't really know when you will be able to get another chance. |

How do the people feel here now? Those that sold it for say 300 or 500? What about those that sold it for 1k or 1500? What about 2k?
Well when it actually hit 2k it did not stay taht way for long it quickly wnet down after it, so people selling were because they were afraid of losing more, but it turns out that it didn't, peope don't trust bitcoin cash as much as they trust bitcoin, if bitcoin goes down a bit people will still hold no matter how low it will get because they know it will eventually go up again, because it happend before and they regreted it, but since bitcoin cash is still fairly new, people are afraid of bad investment. |

For those who argue that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are the next big things, buying and investing in Bitcoin might just pay off. Bitcoin might excel if currencies like the dollar et al trips under a hyperinflation scenario but that for now is not visibly an option that is available, thus, another fundamental question is wether Bitcoin can replace normal currencies and that again is not feasible in the nearest future. Why then should people invest in or buy a currency that can rise or fall by 20 percent in an hour or two?
Bitcoin can replace fiat currencies. This is really the most hot question in town these days. Lets keep the volatility of bitcoin aside because the whole crowd hasn't yet joined the party. What are the other cons that it faces? the transaction fees! You need to pay around 10% of the money you are sending in form of a fees? While this amount in fiat is just $0.1 while doing NEFT/RTGS. Then comes the problem of time of transaction. Who will be willing to spend hours just checking whether the transaction has confirmed or not. So its impossible to use such a currency as a daily means of trade settlement. All of what you are saying is true, and maybe people are not using bitcoin as a currency because they see it as an investment, and maybe the transaction time and fee prevent it from becoming one, but bitcoin and cryptocurrency is still in its early stages, it is true that it made huge progrees and made an impact on the world, but threre is still much to go, and with the develpement and the updates to the network that are constantly being made there will be no suprise that we will see bitcoin being use as a currency by everyone. |

How do you think bitcoin will affect the world economy by 2028?
Probably just as gold affected the market and the economy of the world, bitcoin will do the same, i think that 2 years from now goverments will start racing toward getting the most of bitcoin and it will just like how gold is distributed around the world bitcoin will be the same but more of a decentrelized way, i think that the cryptocurrency market in genreal is starting to be in the spotlight of many unvestors and econemist and that is why it will change the current market from stoks to crypto market where people by and sell coins, and bitcoin will on the top of it. |

This week, bitcoin's price gets low. Based on the article that i read, it says thats they cant trace the reason why its getting low. They said it might be because some used to hack and mine bitcoins. They also said that maybe it was because there are new cryptos.
What do you think is the main reason? Do you think its price will still rise?
Many people give faulse statments, and they say unrationatl things just to explain things they don't really understand, so don't believe anything unless it comes from an official, there is really no explaintion for this drop except the fact that the miner fee and the transaction time of bitcoin became unreal, and that drove poeple away from using it as a currency, but as the Segwi2x fork plan on doing on the 28 decembre fork it will get fixed, and probably we will see bitcoin rise to 25k by the begining of 2018. |

Hello
What is your opinion about the ICOs of the new year
If we can find new good idea or ICOs will die
The ICOs idea have had a massive success in the past couple of months, and due to how much some companies have been able to raise to get their project started many people have saw it as a revoulutionery idea, since the current market has been on the edge of switching to cruptocurrencies, so it makes sense to shift toward these kind of projects, not only to make profit but also to make projects come to live, so the ICOs will defentily be a major thing that we will see and we look forward in 2018. |

I have seen so many alt coins that were cheaper and I was holding on to ETH thinking it will pave out. I wish i bought altcoins with it as that would got me some profits.
For e.g
I was watching VERGE xvg recently when it was less than 1 cent. today it is 25 cents. I wish that I had invested in it when My gut instincts was for it.
Did not want to loose the only ether as i lost my Previous eth in Confido scam. Please advise.
You shouldn't be sorry for making that decesion for all we know, the other altcoins have far longer way to go to be able to reach the level of ethereum, etherem has been on the rise for the past few months and there are promises for it to keep rising in 2018, and that is due to the fact that it is the second most popular cryptocurrency after bitcoin, it is good to deversify your portfoliou but comitting to one currency such as etehreum is not a bad decision, we don't know if the others wil fail or not. |

I don't know, this seems a bit iffy, i mean congrats on wining, but you have to admit that you got extreamly lucky, the number of bets that you had and the risks that you took i would say you had a good chance of losing it, although on papaer this looks like a good strategy, but as we all know in gambling things does not always go the way we want it to, so it is true that you one once that does not mean that the next time you try it again you will win. |

The transaction fee will always be a problem to the bitcoin network and to the users in general, mainly because the transaction are verified by mienrs, and since bitcoin mining has become expensive there are less mienrs than before, less miners means slower transactions which leads to prioritizing the ones that have more fees paid than the others, for the most part fees are going to remain the same because we pay them in bitcoin not in real moen, and because bitcoin is expensive so will teh fees. |
