So 10 years is not a lot  for you? How long will t have to continue to be an accurately measured asset? 20 or maybe 50 years?

Altcoins will not replace bitcoin until it remains free of faults and weaknesses. If it gets hacked or becomes bottlenecked like in 2017 it will have to be upgraded or replaced.

Shitcoins with big market cap like BCH and XRP will still be there. It's going to take more than 2 years for them to die and I'm sure we'll see a big bull run before the end of 2021 so they won't disappear while solid projects pump.

I think that it's going to be a big crash of some fiat currencies or a launch of regulated and insured investment companies like bakkt. The weakest fiats are falling first but it's a sign that there will be next global bankruptcies.

So you're swimming against the current OP. Sometimes it's fine and you will get somewhere and sometimes you will only lose strength and will have to give up or drown.

It's important not to do the opposite of all the rest like a blind stubborn man but recognize if it's worth it or not. Standing outside when it's raining because Buffet said to do the opposite of the majority is stupid.

I agree because bitcoin is like an automatic gold mine for me and every patient investor. You just wait and every cycle when it goes up sell a bit to get yourself something nice and boost the morale and keep the rest waiting for another cycle. I spend only in bull runs and buy or hold through the bearish months.

There were small dips and panics before the big pump in the past. Check out July 2016.

It's important to see how much Bitcoin goes up before it corrects and what are the proportions of every correction.

A fall looks bad because most of us are looking at 1h or 2h charts when trying to see the big picture. On 1d chart it's much different. You can see that in last 2 years the median is somewhere near 6500 dollars and we rallied to 14 thousand before going down to 9. Even if we fall to 7 now it will be a nice small positive cycle for bitcoin.

I don't think he aims to sell his miners to some villager who lives with no electricity and lives in a hut. There are big cities in that area like Novosibirsk and people there have access to all the media including Internet.

This doesn't mean there won't be problems for him because miners tend to be expensive and people will rather buy something else than a novelty crypto mining heater.

If my account was affected VIP wouldn't be enough to keep me there. It's a very small compensation for leaking private data and if the information is right they want people to go through KYC again ad change passwords.

Fool me once shame on you but I won't allow you to do it again. Whoever was affected should leave or at least never keep money there. Exchange and withdraw at once.

You can't blame them really. There's so much poverty in the world that it reduces some people into spineless cockroaches with no moral compass. It's not their fault that they have families and the average job pays a dollar per hour. If a bounty manager offers them $5 to get more people to invest into his ponzi scheme they'll do it.

They are writing shit and we are ignoring and reporting them. It's not going to stop.

Is curiosity really the only reason that you can point out?
Agencies want to get to him if they haven't already.
The media want to be the first to get him because it means money and popularity for them.
Thieves and all other scum want to know who he is for obvious reasons
The IRS would like to get to know him better too

It's a year of failure. 2018 was also a year of failure for altcoins and I don't mean new ICOs but all altcoins ICOs included.

People are starting to see that the market is saturated. We don't need hundreds of altcoins some of which are stealing ideas or making them just a little different from the competition. There's no need for 5 different storage coins or 5 different casino token coins. Most altcoins that we see now won't exist in 2 years.

For me it's enough that it's gold 2.0. I don't see it as a global payment tool because there will be some cheaper and faster ways to do it and people like convenience. They want their precious bitcoins to stay safe at home for a doomsday collapse scenario and spend all the crappy altcoins and fiat.

It's already happening and the altcoin charts from the last year are confirming it.

I don't see a reason to use satoshis or mbtc all of a sudden. Is paying 0.1 so much different than 0.01 for the same thing?

I can see what some people see in this because it will get crazy once bitcoin is used for payments and becomes worth 30 thousand dollars or more and you will have to pay 0.0001 for a cup of tea but we aren't there yet. If people in some countries like Venezuela had to pay thousands for the same cup you can pay 0.0001. It's all the same.

LTC was lost to me when its creator sold everything. He knew what to do and sold when it was high and his announcement made the price fall even more.

BCH and BSV are both complete shitcoins with unpopular idiots at the wheel. Someone who thinks SV will pump because CSW is Satoshi he has to be a real moron. Thinking that BCH is better than Bitcoin and will overtake it is also stupid. I really don't know which one is worse.

Africa was being given charity for decades and they are still in need. They are going to be in need no matter how much money you throw their way. They need to be ruled by smart people who will know how to make money of the land and industrialize the area.

Teach them how to fish instead of giving them the fish.

Wasn't huobi faking volume along with other Chinese exchanges. They were all doing it since 2014.

There are no really good exchanges that are transparent, safe, and with high enough volume. Coinbase is good but they are selling you to agencies so I'm not really sure if they are better than binance.

There are many strategies. Buy and hold, earn and hold, buy and trade, accumulate as much and keep accumulating while holding everything. Mining is the most inefficient if you don't have a big setup. You will waste a lot of time switching between coins that are pumping and downloading all the latest software.

You want to compete with the biggest company out there. I'd wish you luck but if you are asking us to tell you how to do it you aren't going to do well.

If you have an idea first design the miner and build a single working prototype. If you do you have to travel a lot presenting this prototype and hope to get investors. A good place to start would be bitcoin conferences. Maybe some big miners would prefer to finance your prototype instead of buying overpriced bitmains.

Or gain a lot. Out of the two the second option is more likely to happen.
The chance is there but how big? We are in a bull market. 
No. Never convert into shit stablecoins like USDT and don't convert into shitcoins like bitcoin SV. If you want to sell sell but turn it into something you can spend. Buy a house or land or an apartment or maybe gold or silver. Don't sell for fiat if you don't know what to do with it.

Bull run is much easier to trade because whatever you do you make money. You can sell with a small or a big profit but you will have profit. In a bear market you can focus on buying bounces and selling for a profit or trying to short but not all exchanges have this option.

Buying and holding in a bull market is always the easiest way and if you don't know how to trade bear market wait it out. It's always better than losing money.

If you are participating in a campaign where the manager can change the rules at any moment you are asking to be scammed. What if they change the rules so that they don't have to pay you? They can give you a month to complete the task and after 3 weeks say that it's no longer a month but 3 weeks and those who did not finish everything are not getting paid.
