We all know that the mentioned figure realized from that taxation is very high. It would have caused pains to those Americans who paid. With that figure out some may be reluctant to pay anymore. But why can't US stop its needless wars. Acting the world police as it suits them is not healthy.

For us to be logical we can very well believe that there will never be a time in this world when a single currency will become accepted by everyone as a world currency. Whether bitcoin or any fiat.

That is it. Anyone who is scared of a fall like we have now will not be a good business investor. This thing will happen from time to time. Success is not an easy story to achieve. Go ask those who have success and hear their stories. We should always welcome the negative sides of business from time to time.

Can the less volatility in Ripple be a major reason why banks are adopting it against choosing the bitcoin or even litecoin?

'Your flat lose his value as well.', This is not true.. We know that real estate do not depreciate. Rather price go up. Whether bought with bitcoin or not does not matter.

For me small capital investment comes with so many 'ifs' - 'if I had invested much in that project, I would be making blablabla', that is when the investment goes well. On the other hand, so many 'Thank goodness I didn't invest much there' when the investment goes wrong. That is human nature. I don't think large capital means a project or an investment will succeed. No, it does not. I have seen small investments groomed to become bigger within a short time.

I thought the Nano Ledger is said to be a secured offline wallet. So what could have happened and the bitcoin was able to be stolen? I do not understand the part of saying 'exposing his balance in it' Can anyone explain?

I have noticed that too but we can't really put the blame on the growth of altcoins. It is just that crime and the criminals found another line of scamming people in altcoins or bitcoin. We have to remember that in general crime is ever increasing. A fee minutes ago, I read about a poster who lost 13btc to scammers because he wanted to claim a fork coin. Here is the thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3490317.msg37379153#msg37379153

You don't want to be blamed anymore, so why did you put up your tale here for us to read and make judgement then? To pity you and give out tips? Sit up man, that may not happen here. You caused your woe to yourself. It is called greed. You already had 13btc worth over $100,000 and you were busy looking for peanuts slipt coins.

Anybody who has taken part in cryto investment in the past or who has ever looked at past charts of any crypto should know that long term is the best altitude here. But it requires patience and not constantly looking at the price movement of the coins you have bought. This will prevent panic selling when the price goes down. Just give the investment 6months to 12months to mature for better profit.

Since when did peopele begin to buy bitcoin on binance? I am not sure fiat can be exchanged directly for bitcoin or any altcoin on Binance and that is what the OP is seeking here. I can suggest Changelly.com. You can buy on the site with your credit card.

You must be a very patient person to wait that long for 4-5 months to receive tokens. I don't have that patience. I have realised that most airdrops are false. Only for marketing. And those which go through later become worthless tokens. For me, I try to avoid airdrops asking for erc wallets address.  

People are rushing into crypto business and going crazy because of the gain they think they can make from it. But those selling their homes are going the extreme and that is a dangerous route to take. There is always a warning that people shouldn't invest more than they can afford to lose. This is because cryoto is volatile and can cause lose and lots of regrets.

You think $36,000 is doubtful? I do not think so. Remembered that last year bitcoin was projected to hit around $25,000 - $30,000. It was almost hit because bitcoin price got to $20,000 before the crash. Also, remember that until 2017, bitcoin didn't rise that much. We may have this crash now with the crypto market but that does not mean it will not get to that point predicted before the end of this year.

The banks are necessary evil no matter how bad we think they have treated and shortchanged us, we still need them. The worse the banks do, is the same the crypto miners, especially bitcoin miners, do. There are always bad elements in every business. And yes, I am bored reading threads on the wickedness of the banking sector or comparing it with the bitcoin.

Are you sure there us truly a thing such as that? Don't you see that the poster has not provided much information and links to the relevant sites?

3 or 4 cryptos is little to have as investment. Get as many coins as you can lay your hands on but make sure you aren't buying worthless coins. You never can tell the coin that could give you much profit in the future. That's what I practice.

At the moment, no. In the future? Yes. I know this poser is more futuristic than realistic at the moment. It's a possibility that won't take longer than necessary to happen, especially seeing how the countries at the recent G20 meeting aligned. Soon there could be trades between countries paid in bitcoon.

I am also holding one of the world's worthless coins, Dogecoin. I have been holding around 10,000 of this shitcoin for almost a year now. That is a regret I have and I can't sell off now. Also, my naivety allowed me to be scammed by some bitcoin doubling sites where I thought I could increase my earnings. I look at all that now with regrets.

Your humour is amazing. No, you are not a newbie and you are not going to take the points outlined here. Ok, if people don't sell how do you expect there to be circulation of the coin and its usage by the people? By the way, how do you even expect yours to be bought when you finally want to sell? You can't stop us from selling!

What all that recent developments show for me is that this emerging crypto market has come to stay. Despite all that negative news and events yet the market still bounces back. And bitcoin has continued to maintain dominance as the crypto pathfinder that it is. I am not in anyway scared.
