You cannot completely say that it is difficult to predict the future, when bitcoin started everyone expected the price to reach double figures and it happened after that everyone was hoping for the price to reach triple figures and it happened fast and after that getting the price to thousand dollars was a huge prediction and it also happened eventually  , after that the growth was so fast and like that this is also another prediction that could happen in the future, the time taken to achieve these valuation is really short considering bitcoin is around just ten years old.

Seriously from where you get this information about starting a thread like this, have you done a bitcoin transaction in your life and do you really know the transaction fees and the time it takes now.  
The issue you were talking about is in the past and those issues are sorted out by making changes in the transaction format.

Seriously , do you really know what you are talking about.

I will suggest you to search for good projects with low valuation which have the potential to double your profit in a short period of time, before entering look at the price chart and determine the best price to enter, i am not advising any coins but spending some time in google will find you the answers,i like projects like BAT, SONM , PXS to name a few , check out their project plan and invest wisely.

The drama continues for Australia, the political leaders calling the shots here by asking Smith to step down as captain which is unwarranted and they could not handle the pressure well as they collapsed in the end, it is a sport and with cameras zooming on to the players all the time they have to be careful while doing these activities with the ball.  

If the price of one bitcoin reason one million, imagine how big the market capital would be and is it even possible to transfer that kind of money with ease.  I am really happy with the current price and i am not sure what the market will look like five years from now let alone twelve years. The price might reach those valuations or we might even see new revolutionary technology by that time, anything is possible.

The idea of rich people does not gamble does not bode well as if you check out google you will find the biggest losers in casinos are rich people who gamble with their money amounting to millions at a given time, there are obsessive gamblers who cannot stop the habit from UFC president Dana White to the president Donald Trump are massive gamblers.

If the industry corporate giants join the blockchain platform i am sure most of the projects here will fail because they have the resources to complete the projects without the help of public funds and they can hire the best developers and minds to fulfill their goals , it is really interesting to see what the future holds for the new technology and many more giants coming up with great innovative projects.

There are more projects coming up on a daily basis and expect these kind of failures every now and then, when it comes to investments make sure that you are investing in a good project with a very good team behind it and the white paper they have provided must have a legit reason and a real world use and if these things are met i am usually satisfied .

I am not even sure which market you are monitoring to say that ETH is slowly rising while bitcoin is going down, if the price of bitcoin goes down, so does the rest of the coins and you really cannot compare both these coins solely because of the price difference, earlier there was a time when ETH looked like they could over take the price for a while but then bitcoin started a rally separating it from the rest of the coins and i do not think any coin will challenge bitcoin ever.

People wanting to invest more into certain projects thinking that it would earn them a good return but the risk involved are also greater , so the best thing you can do is to invest wisely and not to take loans and use credit cards thinking you can make a quick buck , the main reason banks around the world are trying to restrict users purchasing crypto currencies with credit are aimed at people like you.

It is a really interesting project but i am not sure how they are going to pull it off as it is difficult to find certain brands of alcohol around the world and sure the price are really different, but how a project can solve the issue without the corporation and help from the governments around the world, i will be reading the white paper later and evaluate how they are going to go forward with this project.

This is the fact as no one can predict exactly what will happen with the price of bitcoin a few years from now, everyone who invest in it are optimistic and they see a positive future and it has its own risk , the market is volatile and it is true that every market news coming up will influence the price of bitcoin, but i am positive about the future and whether the price will increase forever depends upon how people are interested in it.

I really do not want to invest in ETH when there are other coins which could earn me a better profit, with the talks of regulations in new ICO ,the price of ETH could hurt in the long run, i am not certain as i would like to collect ETH when there are other token which have much more potential at a very cheap price which could give more profit and that is my opinion, i always look for good projects with low valuation.

Any amount of money within your budget is a good amount,never invest all you have into different investments,make sure you keep a percentage for the safest investments and a percent for high risk investment ,having multiple invest opportunity is always the best option .

If you are earning a substantial amount of money per year in the form of signature campaigns then you must pay your dues when ever your convert these coins to fiat currency,i am not planning to sell any coins at the moment and so i am not worried about it.

If you are converting to fiat currency you are entitled to pay your taxes and it all depends upon their existing income tax rules.

It is good to see what Jack Dorsey sees and his vision about bitcoin, i am not sure about the rest of the coins but one thing i am certain is that bitcoin will be here for a very long time and it is a mainstream currency because you can trade anywhere in the world without much fuss.

There are two ways of looking at this,there are people who started using this platform simply because they are away from the government regulation and they cannot control anything and the expected future investors does not care about the reason the market started in the first place as they wanted profit.

I do have a regular job rather than living off my investments,yes there are many people who made a fortune with it but it all depends upon timing and luck,by the way which coin you are talking about here where he made a fortune as there were few tokens that gave a big profit last year.

I am not sure what do they really mean by decentralization and how much they are going to be successful going forward,sure they have a lot of projects aligned up but if i remember there is a legal battle going on with ripple and R3 Holdco,i would speculate about it after the legal troubles are over.

What i would do is to buy the coins when the market is down and would wait for the long term,the best practice is to purchase the coins when the market is correcting and hold for the long time if you are looking for a good profit,there are good coins with low valuation to enter now and enjoy the reap when the market recovers.
