That is the problem, many such donation and charity campaigns online are connected with scam or some malicious activities. That puts bad light on cryptocurrencies that are used for that purpose and sometimes it's really hard to check what is all about. And that is really shame because people misuse others trust and the will to help.

The price is on the rise and it has changed rather quickly but I still wouldn't call this a bull run. I think it's too early to make some conclusions and we still have to see if this is the new trend where price will rise or it's just a temporary pump that will soon be over. Don't be too excited, everything can change very quickly and maybe at the end price will return to the past position.

I have to say I don't like much such sudden spikes in price. This usually doesn't end up well. I prefere slow and steady rise. Not it looks like we are very close to 5000$ but this could change in a moment so I wouldn't celebrate too early. It's yet to see if this is a start of new trend on the market or just short breath pump.

I.think that by now every trader, even the begginer, knows that market has different phases and bear phase is one of them. Price can't always be on the rise and sometimes the market is down, the volume of trade is low and you don't make a profit or a very little one.
Patience and control of emotions are two characteristics that every trader should have. Losing your nervs will not change the price, it could only make bad decisions.

There are always ways to hide your identity and keep the privacy when that is needed and if that is so important to you. But there are situations and services where KYC is needed too and where it actually servs for your protection. I guess it's important to find the right balance between privacy and legal obligations and protection.

It's possible if the current small growth of price continues but there is no guarantee for that. So far we've seen that Bitcoin didn't make it to remain above 4000$ for a longer period of time. Full recovery will be slow and on the long term basis so I don't expect much and I gave up predictions. I will adjust along the way.

It's funny to see how everyone is totally terrified with KYC. Like someone is asking their blood or organs. They justify refusing KYC with their privacy and on the other hand they reveal everything and even more on social networks.
Anyway, wheteher is this a serious request or just april joke, I don't have anything against it.

I wouldn't count on neither of these two. Books can give you guidelines and some basic information that you definetely need but they will not teach you how to trade. Youtube could mislead you because there are many videos of so called experts that could present trading too easy with too little knowledge and experts.
Anyway, when you collect basic information your own experience will give you the best knowledge and practice about trading.

End of the year is still very far away and it's hard to predict how the price and the market will look like. Many predicted 10000$ for the begininig of this year but that didn't happen. So I guess many will be morw cautious now, especially because price is not rising much and stays morw or less in the same range.
It's not impossibe, price can change very quickly but from current perspective 9000$ looks like hard to get.

To my opinion two biggest concerns that I have related to exchanges are security and customer support. I think these are to weakneses of all exchanges that are not paying enough attention. The way they run their business, fees and trading volume are more or less the same for all biggest exchanges but they still don't valu enough their clients, so us traders and don't give them the level of service that would be complete.

From all things listed I would exclude gambling. It's not the way to earn Bitcoin. It would be like you say that you make for the living by playing lottery.
Mining is not profitable for individuals anymore unless you  have some big mining farm.
Trading and campaigns are the good source of Bitcoin to my opinion but they request time and dedication. Also you will need some knowledge and experience.if you want to be successful. Maybe the combination of these two would be the best way, you just have to find the balance.

This is still far away from remaining stable at 4000$ or more. Yes, for the last couple of days we can see some slow and steady price rise but that still doesn't mean that the price will continue to grow and remain above 4000$. I know this looks optimistic for many but it's too eaely to say that the bull run has started.

I would support that. Based on stories of others people often think that trading is easy and making money with Bitcoin is easy. They don't know how much efforts, experiences, knowledge and risk taking stays behind that. Yes, some success stories could be good motivation and like for any other job for trading you also need some passion but in such cases people have difficulties to tell the real situation from some illusion.

I don't think that we are currently are having situation that would need preparation for the worst case scenario. Still every good investor and trader has a back up plan and escape strategy for rainy days. But I don't expect some deep dump and bigger problem on the market so I don't think this will be necessary.

This is hard to predict. We had similar situations several times so far and it was always a hope that Bitcoin will stay above 4000$ and continue to rise but that didn't last for long. To my personal opinion I think it will be very hard for price to retain above 4000$ level so I actually don't expect different scenario than we had few weeks ago.

It sounds a bit like the sience fiction to me. Although I think we are yet to explore all possibilities of Bitcoin and blockchain technology. Scientific researches definetely could cintribute to further development of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general and their implementation in every field of our lives.

Well, I would say that here we are talking about split responsibility. The user is responsible for protection of the account by keeping safe your credentials and to protect your computer or mobile phone from malware. But exchanger is responsible for security of the whole platforme. Hacker will not return your money but if you can prove that hacker didn't get the access to your account because of your security mistakes then exchange should make the refund and recover account. You can try, it's just a little bit of extra effort.

I don't think there is any legitimate exchange that doesn't require KYC because this is obliged according to the law and they would risk their business. And I would avoid exchanges that don't follow the law and regulations.
There is always so much fuzz about KYC but honestly I don't understand why are people so much against it and why are afraid of it. This is also for your protection and if you don't have nothing to hide or if you don't have fraudulent intentions KYC shouldn't be a problem.

To my opinion banks are not against Bitcoin or at least this is some kind of propaganda because they are like protecting their interests and interest of financial institutions in general. But they are well aware that cryptocurrencies are reality that can't be avoided anymore and that they have to adapt and accept that sooner or later. Moreover I think they already have business plan to offer Bitcoin connected services to their clients.

It's hard to define which way Bitcoin price is going at the moment. From time to time we see some small price growth but in the next moment it's pulling back again so more or less it stays at the same level without major changes.
I wouldn't speculate about the next bull run because to my opinion we are far away from that. I think that the whole first half of this year wouldn't bring any significant change for the price, not in positive or negative way.
