There's no market that is not important. Both bear and bull run are quite interesting for the blockchain/ Crypto industry and holders. As we all know, bear market are major down trends are as a smart trader it is expected that it is the time for filling up of bags for the next bull season. I personally have come to learn alot  from the bear market as it has thought me a whole lot of lessons on perseverance and consistency. I learnt to be patient in trading and investing. I learnt to do proper research before engaging in anything for fact finding and authenticity . This have guided me through my time as a blockchain Enthusiast.

So therefore, neither bull nor bear market is important than each other. The both works hand in hand for a smooth scaling. Remember the bear market comes before the bull so it invariably means that both depends on each other for a successful season. As a Crypto investor you know  what is obtainable in the system so nobody should tell you what to do when it's time.

For Satoshi Nakamoto to have sat down to create Bitcoin, he must have pundered over happenings in the world. How to solve economic crises, how to create wealth, how to save the stress of joining the cue and waiting for your turn to make payment, high and outrageous  charges from Third parties, fast scalability, easy access to your savings, portable movement with your assets, unnecessary taxation by government and other agencies, to stop the monetoring of ones assets, all these put together I strongly believe made Satoshi to come up with the Bitcoin innovation which led to blockchain Genesis with Bitcoin as the first digital currency to be developed.

Bitcoin has solved a whole lots of problem. It had made many millionaires upon it's inception, early adopters are very fortunate to have had early access to Bitcoin then and it alleviated most of them from poverty and making them millionaires. Not only that, in terms of payment for goods and services, it helps saves stress of going to the bank to get the fiat while with your digital assets in your phone, you could make payment very fast and easy without stress. Never the less, exhorbitant charges by third parties is drastically reduced when making payments from your own wallet directly and it's scalability is faster compared to the traditional way of payment
With these few points if mine I believe you can get more clues on problems Bitcoin solves.

Crypto currency has been very consistent for years now and still yet has no much awareness. Crypto education is quite alright and very much good for proper understanding and clarity on how it works but work needs to be done in creating awareness so people would be much more aware of it's existence and how it works. When called to their awareness, then they would be willing to learn about it instantly without any much stress. Curricular activities can be set up in the universities for Crypto currency just like OP has mentioned that there are universities around the world that has already set up curricular/courses dedicated to crypto currency education in their various universities. This would go along way making the people more interested in it and increasing more adoption of Bitcoin globally. When the people gets educated in schools about Bitcoin and Crypto currency, they will go about educating others and this would lead to a wide and fast spread of Crypto because information is passive and dynamic. So therefore, it is expected that such information goes viral after being circulated through awareness and education in a classroom settings. This way, we can be rest assured that the message about Crypto and Bitcoin would definitely reach to the nook and crannies of all part of the world.

I have never had such experience onchain neither have I had a Bitcoin failed or double charged transaction. Blockchain chain is quite different from the banking system whereby failed transactions or double charged transaction are recorded. I believe you were trying to make I payment via the bank and there was no likely a poor connection when it took place hence the double charged deduction was recorded. It happens so often on the Normal fiat transactions as such is a norm and not new in the system but nevertheless, blockchain is not so. Bitcoin is not so was a transaction is sent, I goes through there by creating transaction harsh onchain which serves as a ledger for such transaction and it is recorded for life. It contains the source, sender and receiver address and also note that once a transaction is sent via a private wallet, it goes through but sending from an exchange, it requires you to verify the wallet address and with your approval before it could be sent to the destination where you want it to go to. In the overall,  I have not Bitcoin double charged as I do not buy or pay through financial organization but rather exchanges where Iit could be very easier for me to transact without any form of  stress just like the financial institution.

Thank you for this wonderful opportunity. This would go a long way in encouraging more posts and comments with meaningful contributions

I can confidently, comfortably, conveniently and boldly say yes to you question. You would agree with me that Crypto is blockchain and you will also believe and agree that Blockchain has created a platform for itself, it is now an industry very much bigger in revenue and amongst the first ten economy in the digital world. I must say Crypto has created more job opportunities than most government institution all over the world. One can remote in without going no where, one can transact without going no where one can do things at their convenient without going no where. There are lots of jobs Crypto has created. It has set the pace for more digital jobs, finance, economy and is going as far as digitalizing more activities. With the comfort Crypto jobs gives, one can easily give in for the jobs and come to talk of it, Crypto has create many jobs such as; website designing, graphics designing, moderator jobs, community manager, programming etc. There are lots too many to mention. All of them are accredited to blockchain which Crypto can not be exempted.

Exchanges are still very much important. They are as good as their name implies. Exchange evolved as a result to bridge the gap between buyers and sellers. In my opinion, I think exchanges was majorly opened as a result of the increasing scam activities in the crypto industry.  Not only that, government wants to keep track of holders of cryptocurrencies and know what they are doing with it in terms of transaction and money movement.  As a result of the international money laundry act exchanges had no choice than to comply with the existing laws so as to be on the safer side. Also, it has aided in many ways to run ICO, IDOs, for crypto and blockchain projects which has paved ways for successful projects currently running on the blockchain space.  With exchanges, your fund is guaranteed to be safe  and secured as your assets are saved in the hands of a third party which in the reality they are equivalent to the bank where money and other valuables are   saved and safe.

No one on Earth knows when their time in Earth would be over. So while you are still alive breathing, you should be able to do the right thing in the sense that as a Crypto Enthusiast, you will have to let your next of kin know more about what you are into. Your heir should be able to access your private keys when you are no more so that they can also enjoy the fruits of your labor. It would be very sad that you accumulated massive wealth onchain as a result of your investment in project at their early stage and gradually, those projects turns out to be a mega projects and you had no idea and your next kin by privy of information guy to know you had such investment, they should be able to make a good earns with it to remedy what ever situation they are in so as to cushion their current predicament. If you know it would cause issues amongst your children, you make a Will and instruct your lawyer on what to do when you are no more there. I is as simple as that.

I myself personally have done a lot in teaching people. Not just people I have also taught my family members down to school friends then. I have been practicalistic not just theoritical. I have took part in many little gathering of Bitcoin class enlightenment. I took part in seminar and conference talking about Bitcoin. I have made reference for people to hook up programs, seminar, YouTube channels very educating and self explanatory to newbies coming onboard the blockchain industry. Most times when I unveil newbies, I do it practical for them to see how it works. I open wallet, I show them what it looks like and how it looks like, I do transfer from one wallet to another, I show them transaction harsh as the recorded ledger on the chain for them to know how it works. I do and try my possible best to making sure they understand how blockchain and Bitcoin works. I go as far as telling them about exchange being a third party and how they operate. I give them instances and also do a practical trading for them to see so as to know how to buy and sell, do withdrawal to their private wallet likewise transferring from their private wallet to exchange wallet too.

In as much I do get them onboard the Bitcoin and blockchain platform I do my best to teach them all they need to know about how it works but I do not give them investment advise as I am not an economist neither am I a financial expert  to do so. I have witnessed a situation where a newbie that was onboard the system accused the person who brought him onboard of giving him wrong financial and investment advise which led to his loss.

Binance setting a loan for Miners is not bad. Of lately, it has been bear market and Price of Bitcoin is on the decline which has affected the Miners and investors. This loan would help them get back on their feet to continue the mining and also cushion the adverse effect they already have.
Never the less, $500 million sounds enticing but this is a bear market and we all know making profit as a miner is very miniut and there's no assurance or possibility of recovering the loan within the stipulated time interval as stated by binance. What I think and suggest binance does is to extend the repayment time for the loan so that Miners can confidently go for the loan without any fear as they would have time for repayment and also be able to manage the available resources they have gotten.
No doubt this loan would help them go along way in getting more equipments needed by them and for those already packed up as a result of lacking in one way or the other, they too can be able to have access to the loan for a restart with more sophisticated equipment which will aid boasten their mining capacity and setting them for more profit when it is bull market. So I urge every miner wanting more equipments for their mining activities to make use of this opportunity binance has made available.

Bitcoin dear touches $1000 that is a whole lot of bagging for me. I will spare no dime to purchasing more of Bitcoin. Irrespective of what really transpired that resulted to the sharp decline in price, I don't mind because I strongly believe it would bounce back with a full and stronger force higher than the all time high price. Bitcoin has gone global with full scale and massive adoption which has been catching attention for long now. However no other Crypto currency can take the place of Bitcoin as the first and therefore remains the first ever blockchain to exist in man kind. Never the less, I really doubt the possibility of Bitcoin dropping below that figure or amount as it has already built a base stronger than that. I am strongly of the view that Bitcoin would do better than it's all time high in less than no time. I believe in the potentials and possibility of a bounce back.

It is a well deserved recognition. As the pace setter in the blockchain industry, it should not have been less than that. Bitcoin is the first blockchain and so therefore it is not coming as a surprise for the Guinness World Record to have recognized it. So far, Bitcoin has paved way for other blockchain and Crypto currency which has blossom and made people in the industry. It has made men and created fortune for many. It has alleviated people from poverty to riches as early adopters and investors in the industry. Bitcoin made way for the blockchain economy to thrive leading to many Crypto industry oriented projects and jobs.  As a result, there have been series of attacks on blockchain and Crypto currencies globally because of its achievement and advancements. At all costs, government wants to regulate and control Bitcoin because of the impact it is making in the world as a whole.

Mortgaging your Bitcoin for Fiat is not a bad idea but i hope you fully put modalities in place to remedy any unforeseen future circumstances. Doing this would save you the idea of selling making you hodle for long. Selling your Bitcoin wouldn't be an option with this step as you would definitely have some fiat with you. However, it's not just borrowing with Bitcoin as a collateral what do you intend doing with the loan to get you profit because this should be your thought at first as you know it's a big risk to take. You just have to make a good investment on the loan so as to save you more money getting more Bitcoin as you know  Bitcoin price is volatile. This would have you to hodle your Bitcoin for long pending wen your loan is due for payment by then, you must have made more profit to acquiring more Bitcoin added to your portfolio.

This is interesting. You see this is one thing I make people to understand your assets is transferrable to your next of kin as you may wish. What you will have to do is to make sure you have your key phrase stored in a safe place where you can easily retrieve it at any point in time. Sending or keeping your phrase in the bank safe is quite alright but at your safety.  Your private keys should be accessible by your next of kin on your instructions on when to do that or otherwise.  It isn't advisable to keep it much a secret to your family or your next of kin because that is an investment which would definitely grow bigger and better so you will have to have trust in your next of kin to know where you keep your phrase so they can have access to it when you are no more. It is not like bank where you will have to pass through processes that would take much of your time coupled with the stress involved compared to blockchain where you can have access to assets through private keys giving you unhindered possession of to blockchain assets without third party interference.

It is not a bad idea including blockchain technology in school curricular activities but consideration should be taken and proper evaluation be done in the age of the learner in assimilating the knowledge of blockchain.
The kids or children if you may like can not be able to comprehend the dynamics of blockchain at their tender age though kids of this generation are much smarter but age factor should be considered as well. They can be enlightened about Blockchain and be given just the basic fundamentals of it but not digressing too much if it for their easy understanding.

The adults are matured enough to understand so they can be taught about blockchain. So therefore  here comes the building and working on knowledge. It is assumed adulthood starts from 18 so at that age one can be able to assimilate what ever they are being taught in school. This would be the right age to teach blockchain to them. Looking at the school aspect of it, let's say from the secondary level would be nice to start with as that would be the best point to start with.

Elon is just like every other btc hodler. His actions and reactions makes no difference in the blockchain space. Though an investor  he is, he is likely to create scheme which affects the market in just a short while. But however, the market is not dependent of him as demand and supply controls the market. So therefore, that should not bother btc holders in anyways. 

I think Satoshi was contemplating on which name suits his goal and he did got it right using Bitcoin as it flows with the digital inclination. Come to talk of it, it's all about machine language which needs something of linking to the name and activities for which it is setup. Though the registration of both looks similar that and identities  were all the same.

Sometimes one could just watch as the market currently decline thinking it would go below to our calculations and prediction so you could buy the deep but all of a surden, the market picks up with bull run leaving you behind your prediction. It just feels bad you know when you could have bought at a low price but your prediction turns out to be your worst nightmare.  I think it's hi time we know that prediction are just mere speculations as anything can happen at anytime. The best option is make  good use of every opportunity very well. Trade smart for your health and safety.

I do not think anyone who has knowledge of bitcoin could be or remain rich based on the fact that they have had bitcoin. It is not possible that some people would have had bitcoin in large volume just like the bitcoin pizza case where a man bought pizza for 10,000 BTC, equating to millions of dollars today. oh yes, some early adopters might be wealthy now but not all holders are that smart to know when t trade their and it just might favour some while some are yet to realize they have non again. So the case of early adopters getting reach is not realistic.

I guess you just had no knowledge of what you were holding then and maybe you just joined the system newly thinking btc has no futures.  I believe if you had done a proper research on it, you would not have had to spend it that much even though you were to spend it, it would have being a little of it although there are other variables which I can not tell you saw or went through that triggered you to sell yours.
