Not only paypal CEO holding bitcoin.Many rich and technology lover holding bitcoin but they don't reveal that or they don't talk about bitcoin. I have a Paypal account until now, but I only use it like few times a year since entering into the world of cryptocurrencies. Paypal was the payment processor I trusted during my early years as a virtual assistant. However, their fees are eating our funds apart. This is why Bitcoin is such a great alternative, and no doubt Dan Schulman's already convinced about owning some Bitcoin in the first place.
There are many problem in paypal. Even paypal is restricted many countries.Fee is high,suddenly they locked the fund.but bitcoin is easy to use.all over the world bitcoin can be used.no restriction.no one control the btc.only holder can control. That's why I don’t use paypal now PayPal is still the best payment system worldwide. We cant rely on BTC for payments, as there are not many who are accepting BTC as payment. There is no comparison of BTC n PayPal, in BTC there is no delay in payment and no middleman asking for his share. BTC in many was is threat to PayPal.

If He Forget everything on purpose ? ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) ( Like The genius for remember everything 10 years later everything he did making something he is alone able to see them ). He know governements probably want to kill him or want him to work for them so he take the risk to be forgotten forever as a legend. Imagine what he was able to do in 2008 already, when no one in world have the power to change the world, he was the one to believe he was able to start the revolution alone and change entire world by himself. Nothing, he predicted everything perfectly, he will comeback one day i think he is already back but to crazy like 10 years ago no one believe him already. Satoshi was very clever in not leaving a trace on everything he did. From anonymously registering for sites and domains and using text only conversation with other bitcoin developers. But if the government really started an investigations, it may track down a past of him using the internet which could lead us to satoshi. There are no restriction to access to data to the government and they can track down through many routes like IPs and Macs. They might even already know who satoshi is but has refrained from making it public. In start no one was interested in BTC that's y no one cared who satoshi is. Gradually with rise of BTC, satoshi also came into spotlight and the hunt started. But I think that was too late, tracing down an anonymous address after years is very difficult.

Holding it even we are in the bull market is a big mistake , there are many people has been experience this lost, becuase they believe that when holding it will increase its value sooner . if you are in profit already take the profit and leave dont wait for dump will happen, its better to have sure earnings than gambling it for just hoping that it will increase more .
Set a selling price of your coin and when that price is reached dont hesitate in selling. Greed for more profit always end up in huge loss.

I am sure cryptocurrency wont be the only thing teaching in high schools. IoT, Quantum computing, are few other things world is taking seriously. When these kids will grow up there grip on emerging technologies will be very tight, which will be beneficial for the country.

If you are done with crypto, why not spending your crypto balance on charity ? Well that's an awesome suggestion. All of us want to become rich overnight with BTC, which is not possible. This is because of rumours like BTC will be one day 100k and ppl waiting anxiously for that day.

I think its only but a matter of time before cryptocurrency becomes adopted across the world. Its evident that governments, institutions, educational bodies, health sector, banking and so on are adjusting positively to align with crypto and blockchain. One day, it might just be 600,000 bitcoin ATMs installed worldwide.
Interest of governments are limited to blockchain only and not to cryptocurrency. BTC installations are good but they have high fees due to which they are not widely used.

Quite interesting they target the banks. It is like They exactly know who is responsible for their misery and suffering.
During such protests looters also take advantage by targeting banks. Though actual reason of protest was increase in oil price.

There are hundred and thousands of coins that fall under the umbrella of alt coins, but there are only few coins that should be considered alt coins like ethereum, monero, ripple etc remaining are just sh*t coins. BTC is competing againest these few solid alt coin, not every coin is market is worthy enough to be considered alt coin.

There are many countries where guns are required by citizens to protect there families from bad guys. Guns are very much a necessity in such countries. But proper licencing should be ensured on who can own a gun and its parents responsibility to keep it away from kids.

There are plenty of good tutorials on YouTube, but, from my perspective learning, "crypto" isn't something that can be done just by watching, just dawdle in the forum and read the things that catch your attention or topics you are interested in. Not all crypto are equal in the end.
Like other markets you have to spend time to understand and learn cryptocurrency. Bitcointalk.org is best place for new comers to learn what's happening in crypto world. Deeply study new projects and price variation of different CC over the years. If you remain steady, you will slowly but surely.

Let's not be fan boys here. If you are a serious person and you deal seriously with your money, ofc you need to hold both of them. Gold and bitcoin. You don't have to choose only one.
"Never place all eggs in one basket". Invest in both of them, so that you are totally struck. If I have to make a choice between gold n BTC I would invest 70% in gold n 30% in BTC.

It's not really a great idea to become overtly over optimistic. Rather it's important to understand the ground reality first! Governments around the world, will never adopt cryptocurrency as the main currency. No matter how many banks fail or how recession cripples our balls! If a reset in economy is ever required, it will be done by Gold and not bitcoin!
I personally would love to see bitcoin reaching 10 million because I would become a billionaire by then and probably be able to buy few lambos or Ferraris! But that's not going to happen!
Bitcoin will remain the king of the parallel economy like it is today. The adoption will increase with time so the value because bitcoin's supply will decrease at the same time! But 10 million dollars is just not achievable!
That's indeed very correct. To come into main stream adoption BTC has to win war with central governments, which is certainly not easy. After that we can predict where BTC price will go.

Prices are not always in up direction, they can go down and down before making an upward move. I suggest do not get disappointed with alt coins rather start adding your favourite coins in your portfolio.

More entities in any sector bring more competition and it help in breaking monopolies of few giants. As already mentioned majority of exchanges are not decentralized , which is againest cryptocurrency principles.

If we are just want to earn free bitcoin without work then people will be a scam at the end because there is no free now. All needs hard work, time and effort. If we just want to earn without doing anything then for sure we scam easily. Together with hard work, time and effort, good analyzation would be a great partner to earn a good amount of bitcoin.
Yes, people who believe in this fact must be scammed sooner or later. Yes it is possible to have a bitcoin without any work even altcoin it is not probable. We need to put a right amount of effort in order for us to obtain something a force is needed in work . Get work related in cryptocurrency such as signature campaign and this could be right to be called job. There's no such thing as free actually, even in faucet, you are still rendering your time for you to get the faucet, 'your time is paid at cheap, so it is not really a good idea to waste our time in just small amount of money, wherein you can't even have a dollar for an hour doing captca, so, let's not focus on it, but rather let's focus on somethings that will make us valuable and will earn decent amount of money. Correct. Time is money and we must avail every second of life. But doing clicks and ad views for few bucks per hour are of no use, if you cant extend your profit/work with time.

I personally don't believe there charts and technical analysis work in crypto and I never followed them. The crypto market has its own dynamics. TRON is 0.017 USD right now adding it in your portfolio at this rate won't give you any harm.

As many already wrote there is no standard protocol to identify a scam project team. There are now AI based face generation apps that create unique faces and are difficult to trace. May God be with us while we trust on ICO team and invest in it.

BTC and altcoins got such fame because of community members efforts in promoting them. My effort mainly focuses in convincing people around me that BTC is not only used in dark web, it has legitimate positive uses also. There are many in my surroundings that are unaware of this fact.

Thanks to ethereum blockchain and erc20 token, everyone is now free to create his dapp and launch tokens. You are free to launch your project that doesn't necessarily means it will be a success, there are so many projects which you have to compete.

Choosing the right crypto project is not an easy thing since there are no standard protocols for that matter. Its a mixture of both luck and DYOR. IEOs are better options for investment since they are free from scams.
