This is because too many people lose money in ICO, they do not trust ICO anymore.
In order to get people interested, they need to get something new for people to invest, and now the new stuff is forking away bitcoin.
When people lose money during these hard forks, they will continue to move to something else.

It is well worth it. In the short time maybe there will be a correction, however, in the long term you will find $8200 a very reasonable price when the price is doubled or tripled. I guess if you invest now, you are still an early adopter of bitcoin, because the majority is still not on board, you can imaging what would happen when majority of the world is on board, owning 1 of 21 million when total population is 7 billion.

The reason bitcoin has its current position is because it is the first, and all the other coins are its followers.
We can say it is slow now, but it is the most safe and also the most adopted cryptocurrency.
Don't worry about the slowness, people are still working on it and in the future it will be lightening fast.

For me, I like both of them, i like new things and in the mean time, I hope bitcoin can be a major payment system

There are some small bitcoin communities, including miners, brokers and investors that they can trade bitcoin locally

That means bitcoin is marching towards an option for payment to be accepted by the majority, great.

Good job, I think the freshmen from MIT received some Bitcoins for free this year, so they can buy books. Hopefully other services also accept bitcoin.

If bitcoin mining stops tomorrow, miners will not likely support it anymore, so the blockchain will be susceptible, and then maybe price will go down.

Hopefully someone in Istanbul who is interested in purchasing Bitcoin see your post and contact you for buying bitcoin.

Buy bitcoin directly, don't mine, they will most likely not ROI.

Definitely Bitcoin is much better than Paypal, to be honest, I have never used Paypal, I signed up an account few years ago, but it doesnt allow me to make payment.

Future money will be electronic money, just like information goes to the electronic from paper.
Bitcoin has a shot.

Good news, I like newegg when purchasing hardware, although the RMA is not very convenient

Hopefully the prediction is right, even if in 2020 or 2022 we see the Bitcoin bloom as a major player to revolutionize peoples viewpoints, that would be good.

Current price is determined by the supply and need. Both sides believe the current price is acceptable.
If price rush to 1500 dollars, supply will be more than need and price goes down.
Free market determines the price.

There is still Sept., Octo., Nov. and Dec. left, so we still have four months left till 2015.
Time will tell and drawing a conclusion now is still too early

This is a very good news, I hope such kind of class can spread across the world.

That 1% is a lot in my opinion, taking into consideration this is just a corner of the glacier, I guess there maybe in total 5% lost..

This is a much better deal than the the Neptune, however, when i input 3TH into mining calculator, it gives 1.65 BTC per month.. so it  maybe better to directly buy Bitcoin with the money..
Just my opinion

You can choose to send him a wallet.dat and tell him the encrypt password, or just print out a paper wallet and send it to him
