Bitcoin is already accepted as a form of deposits by Germany and south korea, and is used in financial transaction in many commerce activities of these countries it is hard today that this trend will continue for USA since its economy will be affected greatly by bitcoin acceptance but the rest of the world is a yes overtime.

I think the best way to explain bitcoin to the haters which are those in the side of the government and the corporations in this case is to explain that bitcoin is valued more than most of the corporations and controls the market capitalization of the entire crypto currency market today valued at 150 billion USD.

It's not debate on this topic, bitcoin is already in the mainstream culture, one unit of its currency is valued at more than 6500 usd as of today and is the sixth most used currency in the world, it is mainstream culture already which is one the verge of international penetration.

Github is a code sharing platform , it has nothing to do with blockchain or cryptocurrency, yes it may have code for a blockchain network but the data remains in possession of the user so it will not affect anything or the value of the cryptocurrency market at all, there's nothing to worry about.

Many think that now bitcoin has dropped from a price of 19000 usd to 6000 usd it had reached its peak value and will no longer recover from that but if you observe the recent conference by facebook, they have established their own blockchain department which means adapting to bitcoin for finance may be next.

The smart thing people do is save the bitcoin address where their bitcoin is stored on a offline hard drive wallet and not keep it in some online wallet, this may not be the most ideal solution for daily traders but for long term investors it is the safest way to keep it away from any hacker.

Bitcoin comes in a system supported by the blockchain which means that bitcoin is none more than a lock of which everybody has a piece of the key, which is why it is the 6th largest currency in the world bitcoin wallets and its blockchain network are immune to any attacks and are safe, the prerequisites of any acceptable cryptocurrency.

The bitcoin reward for mining is economically viable only on the industrial level, to actually mine bitcoin you need loads of server power and the electricity cost for that is huge, small compared to that of a server cost, like an exponential graph this business only works art high processing power.

The winklevoss twins recognized the potential in bitcoin far in the past when the bitcoin valuation was less than 30 billion USD , early investors since Facebook these investors have predicted that the valuation of bitcoin will reach a staggering 400 billion dollars till the end of the year.

The cryptocurrency market is always in the state of correction and upstreams but there may not be a singular cause, but a collection of causes like the government sanctions on cryptocurrency and many amateur investors joining the market which disturb the equilibrium price value of the market.

Consider the fact that bitcoin alone is now listed in the top ten currencies in the world by the world bank and the total market capitalization of bitcoin is greater than the GDP of many African and European countries and so cryptocurrency is involved in many of the businesses in the world today which is why the demand is increasing.

The cause of the bitcoin and altcoin or the whole cryptocurrency market to go down was because the number of general public investors who did not understand the value of bitcoin so the price increased disproportionately to its original value which lead to a correction this will happen in the future as the bitcoin price increases exponentially.

Even though bitcoin had made its place in the investment market , its connection to the industries and consumer market was still to be established, Roger Ver is the person who has taken the unconventional step of integrating these two markets to alleviate the value of bitcoin and hence given the title of bitcoin Jesus.

Honestly it depends on what time they are investing in, if the bitcoin market was at a high and people invested in at the rate of 19k USD per coin then yes it was not a particularly smart move although the bitcoin value is increasing with time so any time is right since you have no certainty of the future price.

Yes if the question is of survival , the blockchain can definitely survive without bitcoin, people often confuse blockchain with cryptocurrency, blockchain is the technology behind the cryptocurrency, so cryptocurrency cannot survive without blockchain but blockchain can survive without cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin has become one of the most powerful currencies in the world and that is because of its unique selling point of being a decentralized blockchain system which is regulated by a pure democratic method, since it is the main pillar of its value, bitcoin will not become centralized in the future.

It is predicted by many of the major bitcoin investors that in the next five years, bitcoin will reach a total valuation of 400 billion USD, furthermore bitcoin captures one third of the value of the entire cryptocurrency market and is now continuously increasing in market value with time, so it has a long time before it starts declining.

If you are getting started in the cryptocurrency market, do know that the total market cap of cryptocurrencies is nearly 300 billion out of which more than half of it is controlled by the top 10 or 20 cryptocurrencies to invest in those and keep it safe for the start before you jump into the volatile ones.

15000$ is a very big figure to predict at this time but nothing is impossible in this crypto world but what I have analyzed is that Ethereum can clearly cross 2500$ before the end of this year.
