Why wouldn't be possible for governments to make their own cryptocurrencies? The idea is not to replace national currencies and that will not happen but governments can create this as an alternative currency that might or might not be included in financial system in some other way. I think that people generaly have the wrong idea that cryptocurrencies should replace fiat

It's an old thread but still could be actual now too. Although we currently have some slight price rise that doesn't mean this will continue and that price will continue to grow. In.fact I kind of expect some minor price corrections but I don't think that it will fall down all the way to 1000$. Market is not showing the issues that could lead to such fall.

I don't know why is there so much excitement about the price. Yes, we can see some positive trends but we are still far from bull run and also don't forget that price can change very quickly. I'm not convinced that this is actually true recovery of the market so sone corrections could be expected soon.

People often see day trading as a best source of profit. But they also forget that day trading is very demanding and not for everyone. First of all you need a lot of time to spend on the market. I wouldn't agree that expertise and knowledge isn't necessary. If you don't have that it would be very hard to make decisions that will give you profit.

I think that everry experienced user has learned so far that everything is possible when it comes to Bitcoin. Market looks good now, still the price rise isn't very big, and there is no guarantee that this trend will continue. And I still wouldn't call this a bull market. So I fully agree that you always have to have alternative and some back up plan and way out if necessary.

Pwrsonally I don't see any other coins that are worth daily trading besides Bitcoin. Also, day trading is very demanding, it requests a lot of experiences and knowledge and your full attention to the market so it would be very hard to follow this for multiple coins. But maybe there are some successful traders who could manage that also.

It looks like 6000$ is very close but still the price is fluctuating a bit back and forth. I  have the feeling that some users start to sell as soon as they see the price is on the rise, not having enough patience to wait longer. This might influence the price movements too. Anyway, to my opinion the price will stay in current range for a while and will not touch 6000$.

You know how they say, no.risk no profit. I agree that by holding Bitcoin in long term you play safe but by not being active on the market you lose a lot of good opportunities for better profit. Still everyone has the different risk appetite and how much could afford to lose so everyone should decide for himself.
Anyway, I agree that every change of price should be used for creating more opportunities for future profit.

Unlike some other people here I have to say that I haven't noticed increased number of Bitcoin ATMs, at least not in my country. Just the opposite, new ones are not appearing for a while. I guess they were not so popular and many people found some other ways to buy or sell Bitcoin.
But on the general level it might happen that their number increases, in some countries they are probably popular. Also, I think they are kind of good advertising for Bitcoin, a kind of way to improve the visibility of Bitcoin in our every day lives.

I think we are talking about two different things here.
Bitcoin can't be banned as a technology because you can't prevent people for using it, it's available for everyone. But the other thing is that governments could put the use of Bitcoin out of the law so that it becomes illegal. So, basicly you could always use Bitcoin because all technologies, sofwares and devices are available to you but you will be doing it on illegal way if some governments adopts the law against Bitcoin.
To my opinion there is no fear of banning Bitcoin because most governments, at least in developed countries, are aware that Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies can't be marginalized anymore.

Regulation in sense of obligations of exchanges towards users would help. Similar like banks have the obligation to refund the loss of users in case their system is compromised in any way. So I would support more strict rules for exchanges as well as their obligations for better safety and security of their services and we are all aware that not all exchanges care equaly for that. Of course there is also protection of user's data.
On the other hand I think that fees of all exchanges are more or less in the same range so fees don't affect profit of traders that much.

The price is on the rise currently, the volume is good so it looks like everything is in favour of the possibility of 10000$. Still to catch that value by June could be quite a bog leap and to my opinion not very likely to achieve. So, having in mind Bitcoin characteristics, yes, it's possible but not very likely.

I don't think either that such apps will replace any of social media. Despite the fact that people have changed their attitude towards social media, especially in aspect of use of their personal data , not much is going to change. Blockchain technology is something that gives endless possibilities and probably will be used in every aspect of our lives but probably will not replace classic technologies entirely.

I don't know if there are some statistic data that support that theory or is this just appearance? If it's the true that holidays impact the price the reason might be because of smaller number of active traders and investors. Usually people are less active on those days although if you are a serious trader, especially day trader you should be present on the market 24/7'

Yeah, it's really strange whar kind of ideas people have. Whether this guy is serious or not he puts himself in ackward situation, probably also potentialy dangerous without even being aware of that. Sometimes I can't tell if people are just reckless or really don't have the clue how such business should be done.

I think this is quite a big issue but it's different from country to country because each one has the different perspective and different approach to cryptocurrencies. Many governments have already started processes of regulation but no one can't predict how and when is this going to end. Still I beleive there will be some positive movements and at the end majority of countries will accept Bitcoin as inevitable part of our future and future of finances.

I don't have the feeling that majority of Bitcoin users come from developed countries. In fact I know many users from India, african countries etc. Maybe statistics are showing different data but don't forget they are not always correct. The number of users also depends on overal population, accessibility of Internet connection and other things.
Still developed countries have better infrastructure, people are more educated and exposed to modern technologies so this might be also the reasons for bigger number of Bitcoin users.

These are probably 10 most used and most credible platforms rated by experiences of users. Still new onea appear all the time and people are curious, they want to know what are the services they offer. In that they often forget due dilligence and that they need to be very cautious whom they trust their money.
To my opinion credibilty and trustworthy are the most important because no one doesn't want to lose the money and get into some troubles. Have that always in mind, even if you think that somwhere else you might save something on transactions fees or avoid KYC.

I can't say I'm surprised with such decision of government of India but I'm pretty much convinced this is not peemanent. At the moment they probably don't know how to deal with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies but I'm sure they are looking for some kind of solution, maybe from examples from other countries.
Anyway, to my opinion that will not stop Bitcoin users in India and nothing much will change. There is no room for panic.

Despite the fact that every scenario is possible when Bitcoin is involved I wouldn't count on fact to become a millionare. This is not a big chance. I beleive that Bitcoin is still the best investment on long term and that way you can count on best profit. Maybe the price is undervalued currently but still I don't expect some huge and exaggerated values.
