The hard fork only make coins to support the increasing demand of bitcoin this is how I see them and because bitcoin has no way but to go even higher demand the limited supply will be a big problem, with this bitcoin cash, gold and segwit were introduce to somehow divert the market but they are not made to eliminate bitcoin I'm sure this will only help bitcoin in future time.

A currency is considered to be an asset of an entity and crypto is both an asset and a currency it is considered to be a current asset if was use to pay expenses and purchase goods, non-current if was use for long term investment. This is just an accounting concept it will be base on the liquidity of crypto. So far many people consider bitcoin as a long term investment they kept for their future.

For me I think social media will really make a lot of difference when it comes to spreading crypto adoption, transactions like on-line shopping may accept bitcoin as a mode of payment we can also try offering services in return to bitcoin. If people will get use to having bitcoin as a payment maybe the adoption can be more wider and many countries will start adopting bitcoin

This should not be an issue to take seriously because it is only right and just to imposed tax for whatever income we get even thru digital currencies and I think this may probably help for bitcoin so that government will finally declare the legality and acceptance of bitcoin as a legal tender. In my country so far there's no tax when converting bitcoin but when you purchase good there is automatic VAT

China already banned bitcoin then why there are interested in destroying bitcoin it has nothing to do with them. I heard this country is planning to make their own token maybe they want to penetrate the market of cryptos too bad they cannot destroy bitcoin and eliminate it in the market they are just wasting their time.

I haven't heard any news that our country have or will going to have a atm machine for bitcoin although it is clear that some countries are having their atm I just hope sooner my country will have that so it would be more convenient for us to transact bitcoin and convert them into our native currency

I would say yes, I believe bitcoin can stay forever as long as the demand and supply will continue to sustain in the market as well as the developers will make sure that they will continue to enhance the digital currencies so that it will maintain the good status of the economy of many countries.

Surely bitcoin will go down because that's the nature of bitcoin, it keeps fluctuating but it doesn't mean that it has reach it peak value because it is believe that bitcoin is still under price and that at this moment no one can really tell it's actual value speculators also believe bitcoin can tripple in value in the coming years so don't worry if it fall surely after that it will recover.

What a great thing! I just hope my country will have the same thing soon. It would be nice if all country who has bitcoin can have this atm machine so that no more transaction fee will be incurred when converting our money and it would be more fast and convenient to transact using this machine.

Maximizing profits needs proper timing and good investment choice you can do my style. I invest 50% of my earnings on bitcoin for a long term by keeping my bitcoin in my wallet then the remaining were use to buy some alts or ICO for trading purposes, this one is for short term investment in this method you can maximize your profit but if you have more capital I suggest you try investing in ICO project it is believe this can be a big hit in due time.

I think the reason behind the sudden pump in bitcoin cash value is due to cancellation of the two expected fork and as long as no alt will be introduce by the fork to divert the bitcoin market BCH will continue to grow. Right now market of bitcoin cash increases and I think this will continue to pump and make a great investment return.

This is impossible to happen because bitcoin has been spread world wide and no one has the control over it the only way that bitcoin can be gone into the market is when majority of the holders will stop making transactions and that most of the bitcoin will be idle for a long time which is very impossible to happen. Bitcoin will remain in the circulation and it will surely for long long time.

Ethereum and NEM I guess this two will become a big hit in 2018. Their market looks good this year and more investors are looking on it as a good asset to hold especially ethereum which gives a high value appreciation a weeks ago this may signal that it can even grow much higher in the future.

I didn't heard any upcoming hard fork and if ever there will be I'm sure there would be announcement coming from different wallet because they will be the first to be affected by this fork but I think segwit will work for it fork soon and that the postponement will not take too long maybe after they settle some issues Segwit2x will be introduce in the market through hard fork that can happen in 2018.

Seeing a lot of fluctuations in the value of bitcoin I think it will no longer go up beyond $7500 for this year. But surely by 2018 bitcoin value will go even higher especially now that the demand continue to grow and that many people starting to look for bitcoin sooner the government will declare legality of bitcoin that can help the market grow even more better.

So far banks in my country support bitcoin transaction in fact many banks here offers processing of bitcoin conversion into our own currency, we can directly deposit bitcoin in our bank account and withdraw them instantly. The legality issue of bitcoin have gone so far now but the good thing is that government neither declare it legal nor illegal in due time if they will learn everything about crypto currencies this issue might be settle soon.

This is possible in the future if time comes that bitcoin is legally accepted and adopted by some companies for sure many employee can make their lives easier and more comfortable they can provide enough for their family needs because bitcoin will help then to become financially stable many will also learn how to invest and save. It would be very nice seeing people receiving a compensation they will really be satisfied.

Countries may decide to ban bitcoin if more illegal activities involving bitcoin will be discovered as of today majority of people who uses bitcoin is only for the purpose of getting additional income there are few of which are caught using bitcoin in their illegal transactions but the good things is many of them were caught and prevented.

I think this alt may somehow become a big hit in the future there are predictions that many alt coins will pump in the future and can become successful like bitcoin and ripple is one of them. It may be a long term investment because I think it will need atleast 5 years before it can pump well and gain the trust of many investors. 

My advice is choose the best coin based on their market performance of course there are cheaper coins but make some research if its market cap increase or grows, Ethereum and litecoin are both good also some ICO are performing well you just need patience and perseverance, you are a student and it is good the you know how to handle money properly. Good luck anyway I hope you become a successful trader and a student as well.
