Starting with Binance, I believe the reason why it is extraordinarily dominant is owing to the reason the exchange itself is outstanding and hence the team ensure their exchange is easily accessible which is further achieved through having an efficient and user-friendly mobile application; I might not be mistaken for saying their mobile application is the best out there. Also, the reason why I think iPhone users download more cryptocurrency application is that, iPhone apps are more secure therefore less chances of having scam applications, but same cannot be said of their counterpart. Just like you are surprised about Italy, is the same way, many people would be surprised or will it be right to say they prefer using the browsers. Nevertheless, thanks for the insight, have learnt a lot from this data.

If you are sure you did everything right while taking into account the fee charged, then the problem could be that some of your orders are yet to be filled up, because there is no other way to explain what happened because that's a big difference and such can't be used as trading fee, so that order part could be the best explanation there. So just head back to your account, and check on your order history to see what happened and how many that was filled, but however, if everything is in place and the order actually filled completely then contact their customer service for explanation. Most times people have been complaining of Coinbase, therefore if you can, try another exchange like Binance, it is quite better.

If they are actually pegged to fiat then they are much same as fiat because the value they will reflect is that of fiat, and of course they are claimed to be backed by US dollar as the case may be. Also, holding a stablecoin like USDT can be seen as holding fiat thus if anything is to happen to fiat, it will be seen in the stablecoin, thus I think stablecoins can be seen as fiat, but in this case they leverage a digital form (crypto) in order to be in line with the crypto space. In the same way, stablecoins exhibit some of the attributes of fiat, that is, they are highly centralized and controlled, which then makes them less trusted while Bitcoin on the other hand, still remains the most trusted as it is not controlled or pegged to fiat.

You have said it all, at every point in time, there are people who checks their wallet like never before and actually you can't blame them because that's what they want, but is that really a good thing. And also, from all ramifications, what causes it is when people goes far beyond their capacity of investing, that is, investing more than they can afford to lose or even borrowing money to invest, thus making them anxious of the market while they check their wallet every now and then, and it gets worst when the market is going against them. Therefore, I agree with you, that people need to understand what investing means, and how to go about it in order to do it right, and all you listed or highlighted are correct.

First you registered on the exchange and have been trading for a long time and all of a sudden they no longer support US customers, that is to say, some sort of regulation might have forced them into stopping their services to US customers and thus hackers might have leveraged that opportunity to scam/hack people who are not aware or it could be you clicked on a phishing website thus disclosing your information. Also, issues like this, is the reason why keeping funds or assets on exchanges isn't a good idea because had it been those assets were in your personal wallet, you will not have any reason to worry. Nevertheless, it is good to hear that you were smart enough to take careful actions to save your assets, thus continue in that manner to withdraw the remaining ones. Lastly, just to be safe from phishing, always bookmark the websites you visit such as exchanges etc.

Bitcoin is very valued now and with each day, it keeps getting better. I clearly understand your point and it is a good one, but people needs to be careful with this, because you might plan well for your loved ones and only for greed to take over them and they plan your death owing to Bitcoin value, or they share with their friends about your plans who might in return plan on to rob you. However, if one can find a perfect way to Will the bitcoin wallet to his loved ones, in such a way it will work perfectly, then he can go ahead and do so, as it doesn't make sense having bitcoin and then no one to take over, thus all forms of humans mischievousness should be taken into account while doing this, to ensure it works accordingly.

I think we would be seeing most of these coin hype and price pump this year, that is from one coin to another, before it was Doge then to Bitcoin but who cares, so far people are making gains they won't really bother. Also, I see it that, currently people now needs a type of reason to buy a coin, imagine what caused Dogecoin pump, then look at what caused Bitcoin pump, that is to say, once he says another thing on another coin, people will fomo and the price will pump as well. Nevertheless, as said earlier, many people don't care and in as much as I don't see it as him controlling the market, however I think following any of these pump, one needs to be careful and know when to sell in order not to lose at the end, of course, Bitcoin is an exemption on this, but other altcoins should be followed with carefulness.

The last bull run was actually moved by new Investors who came to know Bitcoin and what it offers, and because it is a new technology to many people then, it attracted a lot of attention, and when the market dumped, it was huge because many pulled out their funds even at loss, but the current bull run is quite different because it was pushed by a new investors who are known as institutional investors, these investors saw a potential in Bitcoin and went for it, thus even when the market corrects, it will only take a little while before it keeps going again, and together with some platforms adopting it for payment options, Bitcoin saw a new ATH. Also, although it might be hard predicting the price of Bitcoin, thus we have understoodd that, a new type of investors are now Interested in Bitcoin and therefore the future is very promising. Lastly, bear market is part of the market cycle but I doubt if anyone knows when exactly it will happen and in as much as the market can't be predicted thus we can't be certain how the bear market will be or how huge it will be.

It is good you followed your heart and invested in what you want and what you highly believed in without minding what your friends says or  what became of the price when the market corrected, and I believe now, they will be coming close to you for more information and possible way to get started. Now that you have gained hugely, you can decide what you want either to trade it, spend it or keep it for long term, and no one can advice you on this, you just have to decide it on your own as you know what you really want. But, just a suggestion, since you already decided it is not for spending, that means you have decided to keep it for the future, so I think you have answered the questions you asked.

Bitcoin is already the biggest cryptocurrency right from the onset and it didn't achieved that overnight, it was gotten because of its trustworthy system as well as the potentials it offers; talking about trust, there is no coin that is as trusted as Bitcoin and this has helped it to grow over the years amongst others features. Ethereum on the other hand, is also a good coin, or rather put, the best altcoin in the crypto space with a good decentralized system better than other altcoins. However, irrespective of how good Ethereum is, and what the team are already working on as regards the ETH 2.0 we should know that, Ethereum and its team has never being in any competition with Bitcoin because everyone knows how good Bitcoin is and what has happened to other coins that thought they would be better. Therefore in my own opinion, be it 2021 or in the future, Ethereum will most likely retain its 2nd rank on coinmarketcap as far as the team do not backslide while Bitcoin will continue being the most biggest and most valuable in the crypto space.

On a national scale means using Bitcoin just like fiat on full scale, or Bitcoin being used just the way fiat will be used in that country, that is to say, the government is giving Bitcoin some sort of powers they won't be able to control. What I do know is that, no government or country will give Bitcoin that decentralization power on full scale, because if they can't control it, then they can't adopt it on a national scale. From time immemorial, government like power, they likes controling everything especially in their country, so bringing in Bitcoin will limit a lot from them and they won't want that, therefore the reason why Bitcoin adoption on a national scale will hardly or will not be possible. But what I also do know and believe is that, gradually, Bitcoin will crypt in such that, there will be more platforms that will accept bitcoin for payment of goods and services which is of course already happening, but yet these platforms or businesses will still in one way or the other, be under the regulation set out by the government.

Bank is a highly centralized entity and/or organisation, and to be frank, their level of centralization goes far deeper than what anyone can imagine and therefore if they are to get involved with the crypto space, they will also bring in their centralized features and nothing more, in fact their use case will be an advancement of what they are already into and known for, and since a good number of people in the crypto space are already against centralization, they will most likely ignore the bank crypto system. Use Ripple as a case study, right from time immemorial, many people do not really fancy them because they are highly centralized, and this same attitude towards Ripple will be same attitude people will channel towards any bank crypto system. In the case of being successful, it might be , because banks will look for ways to get their customers engaged but that will also give more people the chance of knowing about Bitcoin, and in the long run more investors to Bitcoin.

Making Bitcoin to be used in purchasing of goods and services is mass adoption, hence I believe you are right about what mass adoption is, and it is through this way that more people within that vicinity will be able to learn more about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, because it will bring a burning questions within them, and also the advert is clear and captivating as well. Imagine what will happen when more businesses within that location starts accepting Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as well, it means more people will be enlightened and more people will be brought into the crypto space. And also, another interesting fact is that, the business also accepts other cryptocurrencies thus making it easier for customers to pay with their desired coins.

The drop in Bitcoin price is already seen as a price correction taking place after a huge pump, therefore it can be seen as required to enable a healthy market while causing more price increase sooner than later. Also, many people used to think Bitcoin would dump badly after a huge pump above its old ATH, but it kept going till a new ATH was achieved, and now it is correcting again; a good thing to know is that, Bitcoin future is already amazing because for it to survive till now, means a lot lies ahead. Nevertheless, in as much as many predictions are stating Bitcoin will hit $100k etc, we should also know that, this space cannot be predicted thus the need of investing in a wise way.

Nowadays, people need to be careful of their Bitcoin, in fact make sure you secure it as best as you can, because these scammers are not slowing down and will keep using every possible means to scam unsuspecting people. Nevertheless, in this case, just ignore the mail, don't bother clicking on any link, because it will likely be a phishing website to collect your information and scam you afterwards, thus just report the mail as spam. Henceforth, once you didn't request for an email depending on whatever Bitcoin investments you are into, learn to ignore certain mails like this one, also once you get mails with link to certain websites you frequently use, don't click on it, rather go through the one you are sure of, phishing scam is increasing nowadays.

To be frank I think now is the time for many people to be careful of their Bitcoin and how they go about investing it, because as Bitcoin grows and become more valuable, the more the number of scammers will keep increasing, while they keep using every possible strategy to scam people, and most of the times, their normal way is through promising their potential victims high returns with little capital; it takes someone who isn't greedy to be free from all these scammers. Also, telegram which has made it easy to communicate with people from different countries, scammers are now leveraging it to carry out their scams, thus once you find yourself in a new group, do well to report it and exit as soon as possible. In addition, not only on telegram, once you come across all these sort of Bitcoin investments be it on Twitter etc, just overlook them.

What did you deposit on the exchange matters as it also shows or will tell how long it will take for the deposit to be successful, when depositing some tokens, you will be told how long it will take, that is, how many confirmations that is need before it will be successful and reflect on your dashboard, now if it takes longer than usual, it means something is wrong. If the deposit is successful from your end, then any issues being faced is from the exchange, hence you contact the support center of that exchange to understand what happened and how to solve it. On the other hand, if the deposit failed from your own end or is taking time, then you will to check what's wrong and maybe contact the team of the project for solution. However, when it comes to deposit of fiat, the exchange might take many things into account and in some cases, it might take time, depending on how fast they are in verifying what needs be.
Therefore, I don't know what you deposited, but if it's a token and successful from.your end, contact Kraken customer care and if it's fiat deposit and also successful from your end, contact your bank to be sure it is successful, then contact Kraken as well.
Different exchanges have their own mode of operation thus their services would be different and unique.

Internet is playing a very massive role in the world today, and because of its usefulness and Importance, every business that is using the internet is meant to be at high alert, such that, if there is any problem which affects the internet, they sort it out immediately because they know many things would be at stake. Also, there are some things that cannot be avoided, assuming there is a problem within a location which affects internet, it is normal for the bank services to be affected but what matters is the effort which they will put in place to resolve it as soon as possible, because if it lingers people will be stranded and issues might break out if care is not taken. Thus, in my own understanding, owing to the role banks plays in the world today, if an issue occurs which will disrupt the internet banks will put in every resources to ensure it is solved immediately, it is unlikely it will last for days or even hours. Also, talking about termination of internet connectivity, that is highly unlikely to happen in this current era, because a lot of businesses and services are based on the internet and that would be like turning the world into darkness.

More institutional investors attention means more growth for Bitcoin which of course will result to more people focusing on Bitcoin and the crypto space. The most important is that, the more all these organisations invests and/or pays attention on Bitcoin, it continue creating and improving on that impression that Bitcoin is the coin best and the coin of the future. This is really a very wonderful news, and those who are still in doubt of Bitcoin or those who doesn't have any regards for Bitcoin will continue being dumbfounded because everything is going more faster than they can comprehend. Lastly, it is good to own some Bitcoin because all these Institutional investors means there is a brighter future ahead for the crypto space.

I think deleting a crypto wallet is quite different from sending a coin to an address to burn the coin. If you create a wallet and have the private keys securely kept, then even if you delete the wallet, you can still access it whenever you want, so that means, deleting a crypto wallet with Bitcoin in it, doesn't make the Bitcoin left in it to disappear. On the other hand, I don't know much about Bitcoin burn, but I know a lot of altcoins can be sent to an address to burn them and remove them from circulation which in some cases might increase the price, thus why we hear a lot about altcoins token burn. Many people who have misplaced their wallet at one point in time or the other, have tried to recover it through their private keys, thus, in as much as your private keys are still intact, your Bitcoin in that wallet will always be there. Hence, those crypto wallets you used for crypto faucets, if they have a private keys, you can try importing them to access your Bitcoin.
