I agree, small businesses don't have much choice and on the way to be successful and to promote themselves they should be more flexible. Still adoptig Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies could represent a risk for them because of many issues connected with crypto as a payment method. But without risk, there is no profit so they should step out.

Well, everyone who wants to trade cryptocurrencies should start somwhere, so newbies too. You will not get any experiences at all if you don't try on your own.
To my opinion it's very important for them to start with smaller amounts and to get well informed before they start trading. Also, it's important not to have too big expectations and to go one step at the time.

Yes, there is a good chance for price to reach 6000$ in the upcoming period. However, it seems that is still kind of struggling and fluctuating back and fiorth so at the end it might happen that crossing 6000$ might be harder than expected. At this moment I'm not expecting too much and the option for price to get under 5000$ is still open.

Yes, there is no authoritiy that is responsible for promotion and there will be no any. But users themselves and different unformal organizations that garher bitcoiners and other cryptocurrency supporters should take more care of it.
Of course that governments will not promote Bitcoin because majority of them still haven't rekognized and regulated it.

Exactly, Bitcoin is unpredictable so I don't agree that one particular date could define anything, especially not for long term. Besides, I don't think that I have nervs for any kind of predictions at all.

Actually I don't understand why is Bitcoin compared with gold all the time. Yes, both Bitcoin and gold are types of investment but to my opinion they are not competition to each other and Bitcoin is not trying to replace gold as an investment.
Also, gold is more conservative and traditional type of investment that will always exist and Bitcoin is moder type of investment that attracts more inovative and risk prone investors.

Bitcoin is decentralized and it's not tied to any financial authority. Also, the goal of Bitcoin is not to fight banks. IT gives the new ways of finances but still it's not threat to banks. Banks will continue to exist and run their business but with time I'm sure they will include Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies into their services.

Although the market is seems to recovering and the price is on the rise it's very hard to draw the line where bear market stops and bull market begins. Also I'm not so sure that bear market is really over because it can't be said for sure if current price growth will continue and if current trend will grow into something more permanent.

Nothing is perfect, everything has the good and the bad sides, so does blockchain too. But blockchain is definetely the best technology that we are having at the moment amd could be implemented for different purposes. It's much more secure and reliable and what is the most important it enables secure data that you can't change or interveene in any way. That is the huge potential for privacy protection and it should be used in best way.

I can agree with the first part of your explanation and yes, central banks are there to care about monetary stability and support the conditions for stable economy.
But I don't agree that they don't care about blockchain. They are also very well aware of future and developing technologies, they can't escape that. But they are obliged to a lot if law regulations and therefore more cautious. But cryptocurrencies will not endanger them because they will adjust.

I would say that Bitcoin is on recovery path but that still doesn't mean that it will get fully recovered. Market is in good phase now and the volume is growing but that can change easily again and there is no guarantee we will enter the bull run. So I'm still very cautious with predictions.

Don't forget that many had the same expectations for the last year too, at least for the second part but at the end they were disappointed.
Also, this year didn't start according to expectations but at the moment it looks like slight recovery. Still this isn't a bull run and I don't expect it yet. If recovery continue this will be a slow process with ocassional fluctuations and corrections.

Personally I prefere steady growth over some sudden price rise. But that still doesn't mean stability and continuity in price rise. Bitcoin has thought us over time that volatility is one of its most important characteristics. So the current growth that we are having now still isn't guarantee this trend will continue.

I don't know what to say but that this is one of the most foolish things about Bitcoin that I have heard. Religion is defined as belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods, it's a kind of social phenomenon
Bitcoin is technology, asset of value and there is nothing supernatural or religious about it

I really can't understand why are people so obsessed with Satoshi Nakamoto. I mean I can understand the curiosity as long as it has certain limit of decency.
Satoshi, whoever he/she/they is/are has decided to keep the privacy and not to reveal identity so I think we should respect that.

Actually I wouldn't agree. At the moment we can see that the price is slowly growing but that definetely couldn't be called steady growth because price is fluctuating, every fews days goes back and forth. Still the trend is looking good but no matter that it's hard to predict how this will continue and if in some time we will have some continuous growth. Don't forget that Bitcoin is volatile.

I think this is not only the problem of Microsoft and it's not only targeted for cryptocurrencies. Hackers will find every way to get to the goal they want so this could happen not only to Outlook users but to everyone else. Besides, I think that users have much bigger responsibilty than they are willing to admit. Security and safety of your data and cryptocurrencies it's depending on you and your responsible behaviour.

I think that paying for goods and services with Bitcoin is becoming more and more common. I usually buy goods for Bitcoin online but I wish there were more physical stores that accept Bitcoin. Also, in the future I would like to see the possibility of buying real estates or vehicles with Bitcoin. I guess regulation is one of preconditions for that.

Every now and then some accusations against one of the exchanges appear. I think there is no exchange without any complaint at all. So Coinbase is not exception. But we  have to make the difference between some bad users experiences and real problems in exchange functioning like legitimacy, trustworthy, fraud or similar.
I beleive that in most cases the problem is misunderstanding between user and customer services. Also don't forget that many times users also violate terms of use and they often are not objective. So when it comes to legitimate exchanges with good reputation that are long time on the market before making some conclusions it's needed to know all circumstances.

If Bitcoin is used as a payment method then is kind of normal that is compared to orher payment method, that is inevitable. People like to know what are advantages as well as disadvantages and quality comparison could give you some good results and guidelines.
I doubt that this will attract merchants to implement Bitcoin as a payment method because for them Bitcoin still has a lot of issues and that is the reason why is not more adopted by businesses.
