I guess that's not possible because Apple has its own technology. without using blockchain technology Apple has been able to master the market in several countries.
We are talking about accepting bitcoin as a mode of payment rather than adopting its blockchain technology. There are many leading brands and companies which are accepting bitcoin from their customers and if the buyers of apple want to pay in bitcoin, I don’t think so there is any harm in it. Apple would take time but if all the competing brands start accepting bitcoin, apple would be left with little choice. Even if we are talking about apple's use of blockchain technology, it's possible that they have developed a system based on blockchain at their own mainly because blockchain is generally used for financial technology while their own apple payment or other technology is not as efficient as blockchain. There's just so many possible output that we can have. |

Do you think that someday the prices for Bitcoin will fluctuate less and ppl will be able to use more as a currency, and not only as a form of investment?
Yes, I believe it. Bitcoin will more stable in the future, when the market demand and supply is balance. The demand and supply balance have nothing to do with the fluctuation, it's natural law that there'll always some kind of difference in amount of demand and supply but however the factor that could make bitcoin fluctuate less is the market capitalization, the bigger, the harder to manipulate, as you know, bitcoin is still vulnerable to price manipulation that could threaten bitcoin's stability, therefore bigger market capitalization is required. |

we must make our own security itself that really difficult to be penetrated by hacker
Sadly, not all of us, Bitcoin and digital currencies users have the knowledge to create or make a software or an application that will secure our balances, maybe you can do it but there a lot of other people that can't. beside of that we also have to be careful in opening emails from people we do not know.
Opening emails are safe, I have a lot of spams emails and I've never experienced being hacked. Reading and opening them is safe but if they have some suspicious links in that emails, always think of it carefully before pressing that certain link. Opening email is safe if you are using trusted mail service providers like gmail or icloud I assume, but if you have your own mailserver, then it can be disaster, also, there's not only "links" inside that spam mail that you need to be careful but also file that's attached to the mail. sometimes, our curiousity just can bring us a disaster and losing our crypto. |

We have seen Bitcoin and people's economic changes in the country. Do you know how Bitcoin is changing the economy? Do people believe that economic changes are possible by Bitcoin? And what will be the impact of Bitcoin economics in the future?
Bitcoin wouldn't be able to change the whole economy rather than it'll improve the economy.Bitcoin really helps in many aspects of people's life,like those unemployed ones.Meanwhile,it is their source of income. Well, I keep seing people thinks that bitcoin is some sort of job provider and it starts to make me bored how I tell them repeteadly that bitcoin is just a currency and the only things that provides the job to many people is the existence of blockchain based company, just so you know guys, bitcoin change nothing from economic point of view, the market capitalization quite low means really low people uses it. That answers why there's maybe a change but really a little. |

It is normal to go down the value of dollars because unlike bitcoin, All people around the world known dollars and everyday it has an exchanging of money and in the natural process of course it will decrease and sometimes increase. You will know about it if you have some research for sure.
If you are talking about the value of Bitcoin in terms of US dollar, let me make it clear that it is not always the dollar that is volatile but the Bitcoin also whose value changes with the fluctuation in the market demand. The rise in the market demand rises its value and vice versa. Same could be said for the dollar. When Pakistan threatened to trade in Yuan, there was a huge chance that the value of dollar would fall but it did not happen and America softened for she never wants the dollar to fall to its knees in the international market. Isn't it obvious since few years ago that bitcoin is volatile? I think we're here talking how about USD can be volatile too when so many people are murmuring that bitcoin is just ridiculously volatile while they money they worshipped at is actually the same, it's just funny enough to see people across the world believing in a paper money with no more gold backup and people still skeptical about how bitcoin didnt have underlying value. |

Certainly everybody and every governments can do it. But, we don't know when governments will create their own cryptocurrencies, Will they give us freedom?
it will be centralized currencies and I don't like them. governments will have an opportunity fully control them like fiat money and it's a threat for decentralization. Just like how they control the money circulation to be exact, if you don't really get bothered by the idea "become your own bank, and trustless" you will seems to be fine but for those people with such ideal, it's kinda troublesome as their main purpose of using cryptocurrency is to get away from centralized system and they need to comeback to centralized system again. But however, it's not a thread to decentralized cryptocurrency, it has differnet blockchain. |

In my opinion this is not rule you become rich even you are age is 60 years so try try again and focus on one committed point,goal,distention and follow it.I am sure if you are committed you will achieve it.
if we are talking about accredited investor, we're literally talking about how much money, earning, and portfolio you got, comits is not the only thing that make it certain but there's so many factors to be considered as an accredited investors, basically, I'd agree that this kind of law is like limiiting the opportunity for ordinary people but instead, giving more chance for already rich people |

I don't think so!life is full of challenge and dream's and with right decisions you can achieve your bright future.life can be measured by your actions of today..we all deserve goodness of Life but many us are not willing to take the challenge of life and easily give up... believeing and determination push our way to success.
Umm yeah, taking the right decision, believe me or not, it's depends on your luckiness which is part of the chance, so it's pretty much all is determined by the chance, even some says that such things already someone's else fate from the very beginnning, being intelligence, is useless if you are in the wrong place and in the wrong time, luckiness is what all matters, atleast from me. |

Its no longer news that an ICO in Japan has lost over $400 million to hackers. They promised to pay back investors who invested in their ICO. Thsi is a huge loss. After I read that news, I began to wonder. How safe is Bitcoin and Other altcoins? What measures should we take to avoid being hacked ?
The best thing we can do is always enable 2fa, do not used our devises in a public places, do not click any suspicious link because there are so many hackers use this kind of tricks, Do not trust anyone to know your private key or password. Even the 2fa is vulnerable to the hackers, we saw last time when a reputable exchange was attempted to hack where 2fa was on and despite there was no problem for the hackers to transfer 10 BTC and some other coins to a different wallet. I think the only solution is to not to leave your crypto assets on any of the exchange. Prefer to keep cryptocurrency in cold wallets. The only way to stay safe from the hackers. 2fa that could easily hacked is an sms based authentication and it's known since long ago that any sms authentication or call authentication is not safe at all. As you said, the safest option is to store in cold wallet, but make sure the cold wallet is robust and durable, if it's broken, what's the use? personally I'd prefer hardware wallet tho in this case. |

If it is true the bitcoin price is stable it will be very good for bitcoin traders and bitcoin mining because with the stable bitcoin price we will get a decent enough income but if the price of bitcoin decline then we will get a small income therefore the price of this bitcoin must be stable .
Well, there's nothing dumber than your statement, if bitcoin's price becoming stable after huge price decline, don't you think that it will get you a little income aswell? and just to make you know, there's no such thing as stability in a demand based market which still have relatively low market capitalization compared to gold, even gold sometime becomes so volatile, if you want a stable currency, go with local fiat and not bitcoin. |

I'm just reading an article in the newspaper. Klaus W. Wellershoff (a last chief in UBS Bank) says that's impossible to use a currency with volatility as money. If the value of the money decrease, that means the value of the merchandise decrease. For example : if you buy a flat with bitcoin and few years later the bitcoin value decrease... Your flat lose his value as well.
What do you think about this argument?
Real estate has its own market value but i dont think that fluctuation of bitcoin will affect its value. If you bought a land worth 10K usd when prices of bitcoin is high then it would always be worth 10K if prices of bitcoin is low. Frankly honest, there's a time when properties have a downfall aswell, something that has value will have its volatilty and property is one of them, even people have talked about property bubble lately. Never think that property will just goes up its value, maybe in a third world country the price will grow that way because the population growing so fast but in developed country with negative population growth? I don't think so. |

If we objectively look at the situation with investors and bounty hunters, we can see that many bounty hunters are investors of the same project, in which they are bounty hunters, I think that this is normal, because personally I do so. if I like the project, then I invest and take part in the promotion of the project.
Kinda agree with this, so many real investors joined the bounty program aswell in order to get additional coin, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it, the bounty program open for anyone to participate not limited to some community, and about the real investor asking when the bounty will be distributed, more of seeking for a right moment to buy & sell. |

I think we can help stop scam ico by spreading the word and letting everyone knows that this certain ico is a scam. Spreading the word helps potential investors to rethink or not investing at all to these certain ico's. Always be cautious when planning to invest on any ico, always do background checks.  The main problem, we don't know which ICO will turns out to be scam, there's ICOS with high reliability because popular people behind it and ICOS with low reliability because there's just random people trying to be the developer. To reveal whether an ICO is scam or not, the community need to look further searching for the developer footstep to reveal everything, but however, i see some of people sucesfully revealed some of scam icos so it may work as you said. |

From mine experience, in a bullish market it is good to buy at ico because when it gets listed, the price increases above the ico price but in a bearish run, I usually prefer to get it after it gets listed because most of the time, it trades below ico price.
The bearish or bullish market doesn't necessary be the factor of whether a coin will go up or down, it's the devs and the project's progress that matter most but however I can agree with you, it's better to buy in the market when the whole market is negative, I mean, it's better to avoid the risk of having affected by the bearish market and making the coin we invested to struggling. |

Today's hold strategy can not create as high a profit as it did in the past. The current Crypto market is volatile as no one can predict their price. So rely on the experience you have to invest in Crypto, so you will succeed.
I think They just say that the popularity of bitcoin reduces time by time because many people already know it. In fact, people who have statistics are those who are not tech conscious. Holding is a basic principle in order not to lose much profit. Obviously, if you are not good at trading, you will only hold the coins and wait until the time for the bull market. That's just hype word, like a meme, it will have the time when it will eventually lost its hype and no one talks about it, just normal things I must say and there's no correlation between the effectiveness of hodling and the popularity of the words, just kinda confused how see it through that way while it's actually doesn't make sense at all. |

It is extremely unhealthy for a county to accept crypto as it actively drains money from the ecosystem of the state. So it is much more efficient to ban it.
Then why do you even here? LOL, accepting cryptocurrency is not that dangerous for country with good economy or in other words prosperous country like those 3rd world countries that have relatively weak economic, people need to know this including you so you don't just uttering nonsense word that's definitely misleading. |

ETH price started rising , it was below $700 for many days and now it crossed $700. Is it a sign of positive market recovery? Many people predicted that that market will pick up after recent down fall. One thing is becoming clear that ETH is rising no matter bitcoin price rises or not. How far ETH price can go within few months?
not only eth even other coin already start moving up, im still waiting to it to recover back to all time high like what happen before the year ends in 2017 but it takes time to back the price at that range. The whole market moving up because bitcoin, all those altcoins seems to really follow bitcoin's price whenever it being pumped or dumped, it seems that people give attention more to bitcoin and only decide to buy altcoins based on bitcoin's price movement, nothing much I must say but most of altcoins are heavily affected by bitcoin. |

A country's economy still needs banking today, and Banks will not be shut down by bitcoin in the future.
People are still happy to use debit and credit CARDS.
Yeah I agree on you as the banks has a connection with the government. Heck, bank is a core of economy for almost all of countries around the world and without it, the country will have a weak economy and can be easily crushed in this world of industry. Because bitcoin exist, doesn't mean we need to shutdown bank, instead, if a country want to implement cryptocurrency system to their country, they will make it centralized and bank will be the one instance to save money safely. |

I dont think that we are ever gonna touch those prices again.
I am more than positive about the recent prices, and to be honest, $700 is more than fair enough at the moment.
Nothing is impossible and if you think that $700 is what Ethereum deserved, you just underestimating Ethereum too much. it currently hits $800 and you know what? once BTC reach a new ATH which is surpass $20,000 you will be surprised that EThereum will most likely to hit new ATH aswell. |

If you asking some kind of questions then right now ICOs probably not very good investment to you personally. Because most ICOs are highly risky. For newcomers best option is more safe assets like top 10 cryptocurrency. Because you will not lose all your money fast like you can in ICOs.
High risk high return, that what the usually case is, but if you are competent enough to select which of the project have a strong potential of being succesfull, it will be low risk high return. At the end, it's just how you can manage your time to look into through some projects to dig their potential. |
