We are most likely going to be seeing this price and already bitcoin is heading towards $19,000 and with its growth rate of almost $500 each day and we consider corrections that occur during these 2weeks before the end of the year, we are pretty much going to to a high price than $20k

To remain a billionaire you need to find ways to grow your money and diversifying your investments into several different portfolios is one way to protect and grow your money which includes bitcoin, and bitcoin already making news headlines almost on a daily basis these billionaires certainly know about btc and are investing in bitcoin and other several other crypto-projects.

The crypto market is really gaining traction and already it looks like its racing to 600 billion dollars, its high time every one putting a blind eye on cryptocurrencies takes time to read and learn about this technology so that addo[tion happens quickly and we push for a trillion dollar milestone.
does changing wallets really affect this number check coinmarketcap.com for these numbers

Its quite reliable probably the reason why its among the widely used wallets but when you read articles like this one https://cointelegraph.com/news/major-wallet-vulnerability-revealed-as-user-barely-reclaims-9-btc it puts some fear in its users just hope the  Blockchain.info dev team do something to protect its users and new update already rolled out

I think when we talk of investing, we should be ready to risk a bit and I think new coins that are not yet among the top 50 could be profitable to invest in in the long run and I have some coins I am looking forward to owning like hdac, indahash, ins and more.
You pretty much have a good start with these two if you still considering the top 50 you could add dash to your list.

I can only imagine how much time you have invested in cryptos and all the knowledge you have attained that can be passed on to others, this really is a blow to the crypto community in indonesia and the crypto world as a whole as this should have been used as a platform for financial litercy. From the article it sounds like digital currencies are extensively used in Indonesian such that the governor says the ban is done to maintain the sovereignty of the rupiah as legal tender   but afaik btc is in this equation as a supplementary.

Real money(fiat) is definately easier to steal of the two but one problem that comes with fiat is it will always leave a money trail and the owners of money could easily request for their money through their bank who would chargeback this transfer as its unauthrorized, and as for crypto coins maybe back then it was easier as cold storage, muti sig,2fa and all other secondary security measures werent common but now with this security its easy to avoid losing money in this kind of a manner.

Other than ethereum you could look into dash which is starting to go mainstraim as it becoming the prefered crypto for some services
We are not far from 2018 and so far so good most altcoins all seem to be in the green

Bitcoin is unpredictable, who knew we could see 17 grand in december...sometimess we just need to go with our gut feeling when we want to invest and for me bitcoin is still on my to bucket list

I guess you really have our attention but on a serious note the reason LTC is suddenly gaining momentum is because bitcoin users are trying to find alternatives that will make it easy and faster to send payments and LTC happens to be the coin, nothing magical here.

Maybe investment more to show us how much you believe in LTC
If ltc demand keeps up, we shall see it trade this much.

Lol this sounds political to me, as far as I know, bitcoin has no intention of ending any government whatsoever. Bitcoin is about financial freedom and a way to cut down on unnecessary fees by removing middlemen, and the alike.
I think most counties today are based on democracy and which i think is true and fun fact we the people are actually the government.

Besides the holidays which could lead people cashing in their cryptocoins for fiat, this could be caused by a powerful bitcoin which has lead to a fallof these other virtual currencies.

As others have already said holiday seasons are usually shopping times and people need money for this so they will sale their coins for cash.

By crash...you mean the end of bitcoin? Nah i don't think so, bitcoin has lots of support from people all over the world which can be seen from its rapid rise in value and as long as we have the devs and community to share ideas to keep bitcoin up and running, bitcoin still has a long way to go before this crash happens or the crash will never happen.

Currently, i think etherdelta remains one of the best decentralised exchanges around and it's among the few exchanges you can get some cheap coins as its a hotspot for dumpers.

Another decentralized exchange, Idex....never heard of them checking them out now out just hope I won't be disappointed with there services.

Probably the high transaction fees made it easy for steam to drop btc support.

As far as I know the crypto world has all sorts of users and volatility might be good for some people and bad to others but imo I think if will want mainstream adoption of bitcoin volatility will be a turn off unless it gets to stabilize, but hey what can i say bitcoin has more investor minded users so volatility is good to keep the community alive.

Good to see an honest United fan around here and a draw would have been the best result for the boys but it wasnt just meant to be. I knew this game was going to end in Manchester Citys favour when Pogba one of United best players at the moment received a red card against Arsenals Héctor Bellerín the other week leaving todays team incomplete. I would say Utd did try their level best and the result comes as no surprise as City was expected to win.
Am starting to think City might drop points but not lose a game in the league, ouch.

With Nicehash currently down does this take away the available miners that would have contributed in the mining of bitcoin?

As far as investigations are concerned Reuters says attackers might not have being from the EU region and attack was carried out by using the credentials of a NiceHash engineer https://www.reuters.com/article/us-cyber-nicehash/nicehash-says-attacked-probably-from-non-eu-ip-address-idUSKBN1E21Q7

It was expected that the price will drop while the market stabilises but selling all your bitcoins wouldn't be the right call just yet because bitcoin just started to make the A-list as the best or most sought after investment asset of this era and we should expect even more investors to come in...if you are in urgent need of fiat you can sell some and hold what remains.

OP is right, our governments need to take keen interest in the affairs of its citizens who use bitcoin and other blockchain projects as they could try to draw up some framework to help them go about crypto investments and the alike but unfortunately bitcoin being decentralized this could fall on deaf ears.
I do not think so, bitcoin is a high risk investment can never be safe!

I think the dollar does affect bitcoin value but certainly not in a direct way. IMO this could happen based on demand of bitcoin being present and if for example an economy  is underperforming and say there is inflation it means people will be paid more money(more dollars) and if they decide to invest their money in bitcoin it means they have access to more bitcoins which in return pushes the value higher.
