There's a upwards trend to BTCs fees right now that will last until the correction finishes after this last rise spike on the coin value.

Ledger Nano S, it won't give you any headache, it's cheap and it's design is dope.

Can't vote but I can't find a good alternative. BTC will always be on top? Maybe not,, I think there will be a competitor that will make him go to second place during certain times, then it will come back and keep fighting for the top cryptocoin spot. BCH isn't the future in my opinion, I also don't believe that a great coin will come from a fork. And who knows, if China decides to make a coin with the right policies they may be big but still not enough to be the definitive top 1.

Sha256 is more complex, consequently, more secure, but at the same time requires more characters in it's encryption method. MD160 efficiency comes from this, less characters, shorter address, but less secure.

People are discovering Bitcoin, talking about it and how much is worth, people are hearing and getting interested, a mean, '1 btc is worth over $5000? I need to know about this!".

BTC had a sudden spike that couldn't be maintened in long time so it's correcting itself now.

This says all. This guy will be on suicide watch soon as BTC reaches $10K and get stable over it.

RipeMD160 is more efficient when doing transactions, however, Sha256 will provide the security that MD160 can't. Both are used on BlockChains and both are useful to make it work properly.

Being worth close to $10K, it will stagnate there for some time before it keeps growing in 2019/2020.

It's not falling, only correcting. When the correction will stop? Who fuck knows this, maybe tomorrow, maybe it has a spike again and in two weeks we will be seeing another correction, predicting the BTC short future is way too hard at moment.

Do the same research in six months again, the answer will be the same and people aren't to blame.

I had my doubts on it making to 7K and look were we are now. XMas season will be interesting, I'm betting that it will get at least close to 8K.

Right now faucets are pretty much dead, you go to an article from 2015, 2016 and all sites will be dead.

Wait or pay, or avoid doing transactions with BTC of for now because the fee is only going up for now.

Wall Street also don't have a lot of women doing daily business there and there was much less when they begun. What I'm trying to say is that market, trading, doing business is a thing that men is way more interested than women.

It's like a situation where they don't like it but they will have to accept it in future and they know this, blocking BTC won't bring anything good for them.

It would be big but at the same time it would be a mess since they would control it and they would be probably against converting it in another coins for global trading. But also, is totally possible, some countries are studying seriously the possibility to adopt BTC as their secondary coin or even to make their own coin over the actual paper that they're using now.

It's basically scam with a more fancy name. The idea was interesting and if well executed, could be big but well, it wasn't.

The "Civil War" is not over. Those guys just started a shitty revolution that isn't close to be over yet. 2018 will be full of this from January to December.

The problem here is that Steam is too slow to do anything, only yesterday they added Argentina's peso, but I can see them adding ETH in 2019.
