There are countless people who are on the same boat as you and that includes me. And our similarities does not end in being late on btc investment. I also have background in IT and you know how frustrating that was when you found out about btc a little late. Wondering how it slipped your radar haha! But then again it's not yet late for us to slowly achieve our first ever coin.

Of course that also came to mind. And I think the answer will always depend on us. How long can we make btc survive and how long are we gonna keep on supporting it. That is the answer. For as long as there are people like us who will always be loyal and support btc the chances of it surviving and thriving is great. There's no way btc investors/hodlers will cease investing in it because it just keeps on giving us good profit that's why people are confident with btc.

Having multiple wallets may be a good idea but it can cause confusion. It actually doesn't matter if you have multiple wallets if you can secure them. Better to make sure that if you are using hardware wallets don't put it in a device that you regularly use like an everyday pc. It's safer if no one can have access to it and it can't be invaded by malwares so better to have a device that you don't connect on the internet and keep it safely in a place that only you can have access to.

This is great! I just wished I witness it live with my own eyes it is phenomenal. I might be overreacting right now but seriously, I thought 6k is reachable by at least end of this month or before the year end. And now we've reached it. Btc just keeps on surprising us. But then there is the coming fork that surely contributed to this new ath. I wonder where will btc be by the end of this year.

Ethereum have been second to bitcoin and I think it's safe to assume they are the best rival of each other. Bitcoin had the advantage of being the first to develop but if given time and chance eth will be able to get neck and neck with bitcoin. But still, who knows, maybe there is new crypto being develop at this moment who might rival bith btc and eth. We'll see about that in the future. Right now all we can do is assume.

My opinion doesn't matter whether I am in favor to register my wallet address or not for taxation purposes. That is because it won't happen and lawmakers will always have hard time to trace the address owners. And one thing, how can a local government trace the owner if the address is from different country like the US? I reside here in PH so I'm not sure if the government here will take time to trace every address to trace all Filipinos who have btc wallet. And remember that we can always make multiple wallets and change addresses. And the uses of mixers will always be handy. But IF they succeed to put tax in it it's fine with me as long as it will be fair and reasonable and with utmost consideration.

There are lots of developers that can take their place in maintaining, developing and upgrading btc system. There's no way btc will die even if the pioneer core developers no longer exist. Besides, how will those developers thay cause hardforks do some upgrades if they don't know how btc system works, right?

Well if the rise and fall that happened within this week is any indication I guess it is safe to assume that we will be experiencing the same fluctuation up until the first week of November once to fork is settled. Mostly because like you are selling their coins during the first sign of a dip. But honestly, the fluctuation has always been present with or without a fork so there's nothing to think of here. That's just btc's nature. It's the way it is.

Usually this is the case. And just like the recent fork the exchange where my coins are they advised not to make any transactions during a specific span of time until they told us to do so just to be safe. This upcoming fork, I think coins.ph will also do the same. They don't support any hardforks though, just like bch but then they spread news that they are taking consideration and studying what best to do with it. Then after a month they decided to just give everyone the equivalent of bch in btc who has btc in their wallets during the fork. So what they did is converted bch value into btc value then deducted all fees incurred.

Unfortunately, like some people here I haven't had my first ever bitcoin. That is mainly because my previous earnings went to my expenses back when I lost my job. And then I put some to alts investment but just a small portion of it. Right now, I still have a long way to gain back what I spent and to add some to reach 1btc. But hopefully it will be sooner.

No worries, everytime we have new all time high this has been the case. Some occasional dips then a little more heart stopping surge. It's like dancing a chachacha haha! One, two step, forward and backward. I'm quite enjoying the ride honestly. Hello there traders! I guess they're busy buying in again. This dip is just a sign that we are in for the new ath and I can't wait.

We all feel you. But if you consider it a pain in the ass there are some who are doing captchas to earn some. Honestly I also tried it before. But I gave it up already because just like you I got short tempered and it started pissing me off. Plus the pay is very low and it's a waste of time. So, back to the topic. What adds to my burden is once I finished the first set of captcha here in btctalk instead of Verify, the button will say Next! So I have to solve another set. Can you imagine? Lol!

Good thing, there's an option of "always stay logged in."

I know that a copy of ID and selfie are required in exchanges it is required by the central bank based on what I've read in my wallet. But there's something wrong with how bittrex reacted to your queries. First of all, you are a customer and I believe that we are entitled to ask them that kind of questions because and ID is important and should be private because it can be used illegally by anyone who get their hands on it.

This basically summed it up. More tokens being developed which makes confusion especially for newbies who are yet to understand bitcoin. It's overwhelming for them. But what's good here is these new tokens gave other people who are late investors of bitcoin to have the chance of finding a good one earlier which might someday be a potential tokens.

Bitcoin cannot be hacked. Its value is secured due to the cryptographic functions that it employs. Maybe it could be hacked one day in the future but such an attack is unlikely to happen in the near future. However, the networks and storage locations or the exchanges can be hacked. There have been reports about it and the most prominent case is the Mt. Gox attack in 2014.

If there is a war coming I will definitely run with my bitcoins instead of gold. Simply because I don't have any gold to carry with me. And that will be the case with most people ao definitely people will run with their btc instead of gold. And for the nth time I'm gonna say this, bitcoin can never replace bitcoin. Not today and not in the future. Unless you can melt btc and turn it into jewelries and other stuff. They are different from each other but both are valuable and great assets.

Yes, more establishments that accept bitcoin is what we really need for us to fully enjoy the usage of btc. This might also add some interests for the tourists btc holders. Aside from the hospitality of Filipinos and majestic sceneries all over our country, btc acceptance will also add impact to our tourism. It will really get their attention because of the amount they can save from money exchangers too.

Actually with regards to being responsible in commenting on every topic, we have nothing to do with it. We filipinos have been the laughstock of other race and we're used to it. Even if we make quality posts, we cannot uplift our reputation because there will always be people who will continue to look for faults. But we really can't hide the fact that more pinoys are really diving into things they don't know or understand if it means additional income, and that includes cryptocurrency. All of it is due to poverty. Bitcoin will always have great contributions to us individually on some extent. With regards to our economic growth maybe in the future we will see some great impact but right now I can't really say. We're still young as a cryptocurrency aware country and there are still few establishments that accept btc.

You're not alone on this observation. You have no idea what I feel with what I have been seeing especially in facebook groups. Lots of people always asking first how will they earn in btc then other people responding by posting referral links which causes many people to get scammed. I haven't seen a single member asked what is btc and how it works. I understand that not all are aware of cryptos and not all are into tech. I don't claim to fully understand everything about crypto. I haven't grasped all the technicalities but I know deep in myself that I understand it to my best knowledge and I'm not just joining the hype. I know the importance of btc and I've made my own research.

Good point. Btc have been useful to all of us and can really save us at times like this scenario. If only we can have lower transaction fees. But I understand how it costs miners to confirm our transactions for us to pay high fees. But I hope there's something that can do about the issues of high fees. If this issue will be addressed people can use btc with ease and without worrying about sky high fees that it will cost you twice of the actual price of your purchases.
