the adoption has happened but it not that big yet. so you can not say they have not at all. the thing is, bitcoin is new and being new means people still don't understand it and to use it they have to learn new stuff, the businesses have to upgrade their systems and security protocols,... and all that takes time. then there is also the problem with people willingness to spend bitcoin which is low since the price keeps on rising.

the answer is the same as always, if all the nonsense about USDT were true then bitcoin price should have never came down in first place. we would have continued seeing $20k and the rise would have continued since they have been issuing new coins non-stop.

and as you can see more than a month has passed ever since you posted about that nonsense article on Reuters and nothing of sorts has happened.

i disagree. when something is not that big to cause a rise in bitcoin it can not cause a drop that big either. additionally you are forgetting about how strong the buy support has been at $6000 which by the way has been tested many times in the past 7 months and it could not be broken. this time is no different than all those past tries.

they do do that but not because of what you saw in your address. that part is an automatic system of taking all the funds they receive and pool it together and make payments to everyone who makes a withdrawal. these transactions are either directly to other users who withdraw or they are going back to their cold storages.

and exchanges aren't banks to give you profit. they don't ask you to keep your money there, they are services that give you the opportunity to trade. it is like going to the grocery store and keeping a lot of money there so that you don't have to pay when you buy groceries then ask the manager to give you profit!

believe it or not bitcoin market is not yet a gigantic market that 3% rise in it can be considered a "jump" that much rise is still considered a tiny ignoreable fluctuation within one day. a jump would have been a rise above $7k at least.

in case case after googling what "BlackRock" is since i have never heard of it, i don't know how i feel about this news. an investment management company that big entering the scene and thinking about "taking advantage of the market" doesn't necessarily mean good things are coming. we may see hype and a rise for now but i don't know what we will see in the short run from them.

that is what happens when price reaches the bottom like that, the trend (bear market trend which was going down) comes to an end. and when it comes to an end it will be replaced by another market trend which is a rising trend or a bull market.

we are now on the first steps of that while there are still bears who have not yet accepted the end of their time.

you are beating a dead horse.

BTC-e closed down and died more than a year ago. they mainly brought it back on a new domain for people to cash out what they had there and get the hell out. ever since then there has been no funds there.

sorry to disappoint you, the price is not going to fall

no, it has nothing to do with mining and production of new coins. i think OP is mainly confused because he it thinking in terms of bitcoin instead of thinking in terms of satoshi. something similar to all those people who say they can not afford to buy 1 bitcoin because 1 bitcoin is wroth a lot! they don't know or forget that bitcoin is divisible into 8 decimals.

never going to happen.
the other part about bitcoin supply being in satoshi was already mentioned but also you are missing the fact that if we feel that there really is a shortage of bitcoin we can always do something about it.
you can create altcoins all you like but none of them would be as dominant as bitcoin. if there really were a shortage of bitcoin in the future the bitcoin dominance would increase even further because of the law of supply and demand!!!

this was true a couple of years ago but not anymore. there are a lot of places that are accepting bitcoin as payment and people are using it as a currency.
i said this a while back and i say it again: Bitpay alone has been procesing $110M+ in bitcoin payments per month in 2017

using a bot successfully requires two important things first.
1. it needs you to know how to trade. which means you should know how the market works, when to get in and out of the different coins in each market and a lot of other small and big topics that you need to know first. in short you should have a lot of trading experience.
2. it needs you to know how to use the bot. this is easy to learn and will not take that much time. you can test it a little, see what features it has and then use it with bigger amounts or real money. bots aren't just an automatic thing you click start to give you money. you still need to work on them and set them in the right direction so that you can make profit.

since people who invest in any altcoin want to increase their bitcoins then it should obviously be altcoin/bitcoin that has the most demand not anything else.

of course there is USDT markets that looks similar to fiat but it is not so you shouldn't confuse that with an altcoin/fiat market.

additionally there aren't that many altcoin/fiat markets available anyways so that should tell you enough about that. you can also check the volume of said markets and compare it with bitcoin markets and see which one is bigger.

also when you trade with fiat you must provide your identity according to the KYC laws and since people don't like that they choose bitcoin instead. and these days they are even moving towards decentralized exchanges which don't even have fiat in them.

it is unclear what you mean by "being questionable" but as everyone already knows the reason for creating a new cryptocurrecny for 98% of them is to make money and they make money by pump and dumping their useless coin. these coins are usually a copy of another coin or they are filled with bugs and unsolved issues and the problem is nobody cares, everyone else is only looking for that profit so they invest in those coins and let them stay alive.

as a result when there is this money making opportunity, we keep seeing new useless coins be created.

of course it is worth mentioning that in rare cases (like that 2%) there are good projects too. but unfortunately as i said above since people care about making money they don't go for the real good projects. instead they choose the bad ones that are hyped hence the top 10 altcoins!!!

because there are no good ICOs in reality. they are all bad, the difference is that some of them are worse than others and being bad means having a weak pumping team compared to being good meaning having a good pumping team.

and people only invest in these tokens to gamble with their money and get lucky. and if you are quick about it you can make profit in that initial hour that the price is still up and not that many has still started their dumpings.

WRONG. having high hashrate doesn't make bitcoin centralized!

bitcoin is still the most decentralized system that one can find. Bitmain having high hashrate is just the drama that the media loves to spread. the fact is in the history there has been other companies with much higher hashrate than Bitmain. for instance GHASH.io which i think is in London owned more than 60% of the hashrate at some ponit but nobody ever began to talk about bitcoin being centralized!!!
it is just a new thing to fill the heads of the newbies while taking their bitcoins from them at a cheaper price.

what you said above this line is one thing and the question is another.
this has nothing to do with "technicalities" and "modifying bitcoin". what you want is simply a User Interface which is something that the clients should solve like changing their GUI to be more user friendly. if you have any suggestions for improvement you can always tell it to the wallet developers of the wallet client you are using.

you keep on insisting that bitcoin HAS TO be accepted by the banking system so that in your opinion it can have a future. but that just proves that you haven't understood what bitcoin is supposed to be!

bitcoin is a decentralized currency that was created so that it doesn't require banking support for its existence and growth. it is the currency of the bank-less.

in short your whole argument is based on a flawed assumption which stems from lack of understanding of true purpose of bitcoin.

that example wasn't meant to be funny but it turned out to be
what i am trying to say is that the reason is the most important thing.  that is also why i mentioned the altcoin deaths. those deaths is mostly because of lack of usability and sometimes because of flaws.
if bitcoin stops being useful and dies becaues of that then nothing will change. but if a flaw in the technology it is using is found (like a workaround the ECC or a flaw in it) then all the altcoins would die with bitcoin.

we are already at the bottom of the price and we can't hit something we have already hit. there is only fluctuations left to have and also possibly some new push downs by some bears to try and change the trend like they usually do but the trend seems to have changed already marking the end of the bear market.

why would bitcoin die? you can't just ask a question and leave the most important part out.

if 1 person dies in the middle of street would the human race end?
did that 1 person die of heart attack or the T-Virus? the second one can end the human race

it is the same for a cryptocurrency too. altcoins are dying every day and nothing in the world changes. but if it is a flaw in the technology then the technology dies and everything with it.
