That is certainly what most people are doing. But sometimes I wonder how secure are online wallets, such as blockchain.info, since many experienced users recommend using other types of wallets, especially hardware wallets. Probably the safest thing to do would be to save the coins on multiple devices.

The developers of both projects, in fact, have invested heavily in marketing, I have seen ads of the two projects on most common websites related to cryptocurrencies. I think that both currencies have different proposals, and apparently geared to different markets. Qtum is a cryptocurrency focused on smart contracts. And chronobank is a currency more targeted to the recruitment industry. I have not done a thorough study of the two projects yet, so I still could not say which one is better.

I also decided to hold in the last time the price crossed the thousand dollar range, a few weeks ago. The price fell next, but the recovery came weeks later, and now I think there is a higher level of support in the market. The Bitcoin chart is very bullish, and in my opinion the best thing to do now is to be patient and hold on.

Experience is very important because it is this way that you can find the correct timing. The problem is that for beginners, there is practically zero experience, unless the individual had experience in forex trading or other markets before, but the volatility in the crypto market is significantly higher. I think that in this case, in the stage of gaining experience, it is necessary to avoid investing large amounts of money, in order to avoid greater losses.

The problem is that for the government to have control over these taxes it would be necessary to have access to the information of the users, and this is not possible using decentralized blockchains. The government could create a wallet for each individual, but such people could create other wallets and opt for anonymity. I think that even in the most centralized blockchains it would be difficult for them to have the same level of control they currently have.

I think that if the OP does not have the necessary skills to solve this problem, there is the possibility of hiring a professional for this, but the costs would increase, of course. There is also the possibility of trying to acquire such skills, and considering the knowledge gained in this, the experience can make the efforts worthwhile.

Yeah, luckily this is something that becomes increasingly difficult to happen. When the big crash occurred in 2013, there were a number of conditions that made it difficult for Bitcoin's price to remain stable and far from manipulation. At that time, in addition to having a smaller amount of users, the most used exchange was Mt. Gox. Things are much more advanced today with respect to exchanges and number of users.

Replicating Bitcoin is a very difficult thing to do. Most altcoins have been trying to do this for years, and none of them succeeded in doing so. Even currencies that developers consider to be superior, such as ZCash, have had a poor market performance in the early months. In fact, it managed to be the first cryptocurrency to be worth more than one Bitcoin, but the performance that the currency had in the market after that was very bad, and many investors lost money in that.

Regarding her statement, the irony lies in the fact that there is no boss controlling Bitcoin, there are large holders, and it is possible that Satoshi is the greatest of them. But it's like you said, if his intention was to dump the coins, he would have done it in 2013. And if he decides to do that in the future, it's his coins, so he has the right to do that.
The first reaction of the market would surely be panic, but after that what we would have would be a greater distribution.

I think the hard part is knowing when to stop, you would probably have big gains if you had stopped after earning some Bitcoins, or if you had stopped when losses began to appear. But in the end you've made considerable gains, considering that this is a very risky thing, in which most users can not make such gains.

Actually there are already the so-called paper wallets, and some users see this as a safe way to store Bitcoins. However, I see some problems in this form, because if the paper is damaged, you can lose access to your Bitcoins. Maybe it can serve as a way to diversify, to put just a few coins, but the safest way, in my opinion, is to store in a secure computer or device, preferably offline.

I think there are companies doing this, after all, they can in that way make a significant profit, and then sell the equipment when they realize that the difficulty of mining is about to increase. I think the best way to avoid this kind of injury is to try to design your own mining equipment, I think there are only a few people with knowledge to do this, but it is possible.

The number of Bitcoins you'll need to trade, if you intend to earn living from it, is something that will depend on different factors, such as the cost of living in your country, the monthly earnings that you think you need to have a good life, the type of market (which can be BTC/Fiat or BTC/altcoins market) and your skills in the market.

Some users say they can get good results with fifteen or twenty Bitcoins, but there are many variables, so I dont think I could give you a precise number. It would probably be best for you to do your own research based on these factors to know how many you might need.

Currently, large numbers of users are traders, investors and speculators, so it is normal that the price is something that generates so much discussion among users at this stage. I think that as time goes on, when Bitcoin gains more stability, the number of people using Bitcoin to buy and sell things will correspond to a larger percentage of the total number of users, and this will probably help the price gain more stability in the market. This will also make Bitcoin more used in people's daily lives.

I think that as long as you have the tools to know which direction the price will take next, any asset can give good results in the short term, the problem is that altcoins are very unstable, and this increases the risk that there is panic selling in the market. In that sense, in fact, it is safer to hold Bitcoin if you want something less unstable, but it is possible to get good results in the short term as long as you are a good trader.

The first two options you mentioned are certainly the ones the users are using the most, but I don't think these are the most profitable. I think the most profitable way at the moment is trading, but the gains will depend on the capital invested and, of course, on your trading skills.

Many users complain that they do not like trading because they have had losses in the past, but most of the time this is the result of inadequate training or reliance on unreliable information sources, so you need to correct such factors to be successful in any investment.

I was considering the possibility of investing in Pascal Coin. The currency brings some new features, but at first glance most users will find the accounts system confusing, and many of those who understand it may still find Bitcoin to be a better solution. Also, I recommend looking at the chart for the past few days, 1000 satoshi to 100,000 satoshi, this gives the impression that the price will drop significantly for the next few days, but nobody knows...

If the trader is having losses, there is certainly some problem in his analysis. However, if the trader really does a good analysis, then it is possible that the reason for the loss is market manipulation... in that case, the error lies in the asset choice, which he/she is trading.

In the cryptocurrency space, for example, if you choose a coin with a small market and with a supply controlled by just a few people, chances are great that this market is manipulated by such individuals. This is one of the reasons why choosing the right cryptocurrency is an important step in trading.

I also think that in the current state the chances of users having losses are greater than using conventional means. There are certainly ways to avoid taking unnecessary risks, such as checking other users' reviews or checking for reliable reputation systems.
It is possible that over time, with more competition in the market and more reliable reputation systems, things will become easier for users who want to use such exchanges.

Professionals in the field of statistics certainly have techniques that can improve the accuracy of results, but the fact that many users are anonymous will bring inaccuracy in the results. I think that for this to be resolved it would be necessary to use a system that collects data and at the same time allows users to remain anonymous.
