I personally doubt this but could be possible. I am always open to any possibility but my hopes are always pointed upward. If it is buying you are concerned about then buy Bitcoin using a portion of your total budget. Use another portion to buy other cryptocurrency such as ETH, BCH, LTC, and other strong coins. Another portion should be kept as assurance. Meaning if the price today is 15k and you bought some, then next week the price drops to 13k, you'll have your assurance ready to buy more.

Possible since we are currently almost halfway there. This is if Bitcoin will be at a bull run for some time.
The price is not questionable since most expect that price this year, however, the question should be "when this year?" I doubt that we will reach that price as soon as 3 or 4 months. I suppose we will be there between late Q2 and early Q3 of 2018.

Expecting Bitcoin to increase its price over and over isn't a good thing. Over expecting might break hopes for some people. 2017 was a crazy year for Bitcoin and we cannot expect that the same thing will happen this year. Yes, we all want that but this is not always the case. Bitcoin may be subjected to a bearish market at any time and 2018 might be that time. Bitcoin drops more often indicating that it is a bear market we are in.

I am not excluding the possibility of bull run since we are aware that Bitcoin is still gaining more and more popularity. We might go up but not as crazy as 2017. The important this is the "go up" part, right?

If the price keeps decreasing, it won't be like Bitcoin at all. Many optimistic users and experts claims that Bitcoin will continue to surge [generally] and I believe the same thing. The current state of Bitcoin is just a mere laying low since Bitcoin undergone a crazy ride last year (2017). If we can see clearly, Bitcoin's price is still high and is just a few percentage away from the recent ATH. Patience. Bitcoin will have a bull run sooner or later this year.

Bitcoin is volatile in nature and the excessive fluctuation in its price is not so surprising at all. This is the result of being decentralized and being driven by the community. The community decides what will be the price and is determined with the aid of the law of supply and demand. We may seem to be in a roller coaster but that is just things are.

If ever Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency gets banned worldwide and is treated as illegal then that's it, Bitcoin is illegal. Bitcoin users could file petitions to their government if applicable. People can exercise their rights about this matter. However, Bitcoin will stay illegal unless revoked by the government. Bitcoin users could still use Bitcoin but illegally.

Bitcoin won't lose value when people stop using it, it'll lose value when people are not willing to buy Bitcoin anymore. To justify this, let's take a look at gold. Does anyone uses gold as payment? yes but in a very minimal scale (close to no). But does it lose value? No. This is because people are saying and believing that it has a value and people are still willing to buy gold. The same way for Bitcoin since it's value is driven by the community.

If this problem continue to arise, Bitcoin will just be treated as an asset and not as a currency.

Segwit and lightning network were supposed to cope with these issues. However, it seems that these were not enough.

Bitcoin is just like fiat, its value depends on its user. Fiat has a value because the government says so, Bitcoin also has a value because the community says so. Meaning when the community decides that Bitcoin is worthless then Bitcoin is worthless. Old version of fiat becomes worthless because the government says so so the citizens believes them then the old version will be neglected. This would be a suitable analogy for the topic. Bitcoin can become worthless and it will depend on its community. Bitcoin's value is driven by the community so the value lies in its community.

When ETH was on the #2 spot some are asking whether ETH will overtake Bitcoin. Now that XRP took the #2 spot, this topic shows up. The only basis for the ranking of every cryptocurrency is their market cap. However, the market cap is just a mere multiplication of the current price of that specific cryptocurrency and its supply. The market cap is just a number and will not justify anything. XRP is #2 and ETH is #3, if we make a poll what would you prefer? Perhaps many will choose ETH over XRP. The ranking does not define how good a coin or token is so we should not make any big deal out of this.

The decrease in Bitcoin's dominance is not so surprising (for me) at all. More and more cryptocurrency are being in existence every month so the people are having more and more options. Mathematically speaking, when the base number increases, the part of the whole decreases in percentage and that would be the possible reason why Bitcoin's dominance is decreasing. However, people are just using the alts to increase their Bitcoin so sooner or later, the dominance will eventually increase.

Is this the first time you saw Bitcoin dropped in value? Who said that Bitcoin will keep increasing? Bitcoin is volatile in nature and we will eventually see drops as soars. The price is driven by the community and is determined by the law of supply and demand. Dropping means many are selling their Bitcoins and increasing means many are buying Bitcoin. We cannot know exactly when the drop will stop unless we're already there.

As we are all aware, a Bitcoin wallet is encrypted by a private key or password and they are needed in order to decrypt and access that specific wallet. So if there is a wallet that contains 1M of BTC and the only person who knows how to access that wallet died then we can consider that the coins inside that wallet lost forever. There is no other way to transfer that amount to the circulating supply but to decrypt that wallet. Someone could crack it using powerful computer/s but as long as it is locked, the coins are lost forever.

Theoretically, when a number of Bitcoin become lost, the total supply remains the same. So from your instance, when 1M BTC became lost, 21M BTC will still exist. However, only 20M will be in circulation forever, unless the remaining coins were recovered.

This is a very optimistic and a huge project. Well, huge might be an understatement. Anyhow I am curious about this project and it would be so nice of you to respond to some of my points below:

1. Why is it that the ICO will be running for 5 months? 5 months is a very long duration and some "investors" out there might be hindered due to the length of the ICO.
2. The minimum/ soft cap of the ICO is $300M, half of the hard cap, and it is a lot of money. Obviously, when the ICO failed to accumulate such amount then the project will fail also. Will you justify why do you need such amount?
3.
Based from the quoted text from your whitepaper, you accept investors from USA and as far as I know, USA residents and citizens are not allowed to join or participate in an ICO. Correct me if I am wrong here. Another thing, is the ico exclusive for those who were mentioned above?

The transaction fee has been always so high and is so impractical for transactions, especially for micro transactions. The activation of SegWit made the fee go down but it did not held up for so long. The tx fee is just difficult to control. We might end up with having more hardforks before we could arrive with the most probable solution. 2018 would be the best year to know what would be the solution.

The claim is too simple which is so unreliable. Anyone can make a new account on reddit, on facebook, twitter, or even here in bitcointalk and would claim that he is Satoshi Nakamoto. Many are craving for attention and would happily pretend someone else just to please his lust. I would suggest that you should get over this, nothing will happen after this.
