Illegal and criminal activities happen everywhere and almost everything could be used for bad purposes and so it's with Bitcoin too, it's no exception. But you can put the blame on Bitcoin and tell that is more vulnerable than fiat money or like some say that is criminal currency. There will always be people who will misuse everything they can for their own advantage, including Bitcoin, but you can't judge the whole community because of that.

Hello,
Payment sent !
Cheers,
Sent you a PM, please check Is it related to incorrect payment amount? As I just noticed that my payment for the last week is different with the amount on the spreadsheet. Missing 0.003btc, probably because Baryom used the sheet #1 for the last payment instead of the sheet #9 I noticed that too and sent PM to Baryom but he said that he sent correct payments. Although it seems to me that he looked at wrong sheet.

I wouldn't say that banks have fear of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies but they see some competition in that. I would say this is healthy because competition could only bring improvements. Banks also see their opportunity to profit in cryptocurrencies but to my opinion at the moment they are not quite sure how to do this and regulation or better to say lack of regulation stops them.

Bitcoin price is unpredictable. Do not trust "experts", none of them is able to make an accurate prediction for a few months ahead. The latest rise may be another bull trap... or may be not. I would like to see breaking $13k first.
Yes, Bitcoin is unpredictable but threads like this one are so predictable. On the first sign of price going up such posts about exaggerated values appear and everyone starts dreaming about being rich. I think that in this moment is still hard to tell whether this is the start of continuous growing or is just temporary jump. Let's be patient and go one step at the time.

Yes, it looks like Bitcoin price is recovering and altcoin market seems to be recovering too. Still I would be very careful and not too happy too soon. This price jump came very fast but as fast it has come as fast can go down too. In the next few days we will see much clearer picture and maybe more could be predicted how the situation is going to develope.

Even if they have changed the owner changes in their business including customer service will not happen over night. And currently they are probably having some other issues in focus. Circle will have to do a lot of efforts to implement good business practice again and to gain the customer trust that has been lost.

One day I would like to see Bitcoin payment system that is accepted all over the world, stable and secure. But I'm aware that this requires regulation and a lot of coordination and it will be hard to achieve. Personaly I would like to see Bitcoin being accepted for travel arangements like travel agencies, all kinds of tickets and similar.

It is realy not worth so much attention what China is doing. First there was panic related to China and Bitcoin and now to China and silver and gold. Every country has the right to suggest to their citizens whatever they want but that doesn't mean this will necessary have influence on global market. I don't see here nothing to worry about and I realy don't think that China is so influental no matter the significance it has.

The issues will always appear and that is inevitable with everything new that pops up and has to develope. And let's be honest Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are still very young. Bitcoin is in position that needs to improve some features but I don't see problem in that. By now Bitcoin has evolved a lot from the begininig when first appeared and I beleive it has enough capacity to keep the position of strongest cryptocurrency.

Don't have that much experience.with Ethereum like with Bitcoin but I think holding can't make any damage. Ethereum is a coin with good perspective and chances for further growth in the future so the price might go up. Not as high and not so fast as we want it but still it will. Still if I were at your place I wouldn't keep everything in Ethereum, diversify your investment.

I don't think that any government will kill Bitcoin and that isn't even the intention. Regulation attempts don't have the goal to destroy Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies but to define some rules and policies that could actualy help Bitcoin to grow. So all this governmental actions in many countries are often seen in the wrong lite and often exaggerated in their intentions.

Absoultely yes. When the price falls is the best time for buying because this is investment in the future. Eventualy the price will go up and you will make the profit. I know that many fear that the price fall could be a sign of even bigger dump and at the first glance it might appear so, but in some period the price will rise and you will profit. Just have to be patient enough.

I get latest news about cryptocurrencies on twitter, facebook, bitcointalk forum, reddit, discord and most commonly on telegram channels.
I have to say I avoid all these chanels. They are often full of misleading sometimes completely wrong information and it's hard to tell whic actualy have some ground in true analysis and knowledge and which are only uneducated guessing. You can't believe that is true everything that is written somwhere.

Saving as a general idea is excelent, especialy if the funds are for your children. Still you have to have on your mind that cryptocurrencies are tricky, they are very volatile and they can easily gain but also lose the value. So, on long term this might be risky, it can potentialy happen that you have a lot of Bitcoins saved for your children but at the end they will not be much worth. To my opinion it would be good to save the Bitcoin but to exchange certain sum from time to time and a part to save in Bitcoin. Thus you would be multiple ensured.

Despite some predictions Bitcoin Cash has survived. For now. The question is how long and how successful will last. But if you ask me Bitcoin is still the first and the best choice and Bitcoin Cash has no chance against it. Many more successful coins don't have chance against Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash is not even close.

Bitcoins do not support terrorists, bitcoin is not monitored and controlled by banks and governments, so investors and companies need capital to trade bitcoin properly and do not let bitcoin enter. bad guys
Of course that Bitcoin is not supporting terrorists and it can't, Bitcoin is not an institution that decides something. But we can deny that Bitcoin is used for illegal activities, including terrorism because of greater anonimity than fiat currencies and because it's still harder to track the transactions. But that doesn't mean that Bitcoin is terorrist currency.

Seems that some new Bitcoin debit cards issuers appear which is a good news. At the moment we have a big hole for such services on the market. Still what worries me is the quality of services that will be provided. Will this card be available worldwide? Should the coins be exchanged by loading the card or could be used directly from the wallet and then exchanged when spending?

I wouldn't call that fear, they have nothing to feae about. But what all governments want is to have everything under control, especialy over something that can influence the economy. The problem with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is lack of control mechanisms. With possibilities to control Bitcoin governments would also have the possibilities to use it for their own purposes.

Ethereum more than any other coins follows bitcoin prices the most, every single shift in bitcoin price happens to ethereum and I have noticed that as soon as bitcoin prices go up then the price of ethereum starts going up too.
That is true, it seems that Etherum is the coin that follows Bitcoin very closely although they are not connected fully in technological sense but maybe because it's the second most valuable coin and similar factors influence the price. It looks like these two coins are always competing although I don't think Ethereum has the chance to take Bitcoin place.

The best solution to overcome panic is knowledge. If you know all the aspects how Bitcoin and the market is functioning it will be much easier. Also some previous experience in trading techniques could help. The worst thing you can do is to get involved with cryptocurrencies without any knowledge and with some false information. Listening to different so called cryptocurrency gurus and false infomative blogs will not help either.
