I buy your idea too because sometimes you can't really understand if the token is a dumping baggage and you don't see it coming until it splashes in your face like water missed with pepper and you can't do otherwise than either dump the shitty or keep unrealistic hope  

Adoption of bitcoin can only mean that bitcoin would be as the official leader. At that time, I think bitcoin would not displace any currency including dollars rather , the bitcoin and fiat would exist differently because they have different mode to be reached?

What I will simply say is that, I see all these negative news items as the real rope for bitcoin to climb to actual popularity because with time, these decisions would not be that rigid in individual organization (networks) and soon a collapse would take over, letting cryptocurrency freedom indeed.

This will not stop icos from advertising. Icos would have to be careful and truthful to their program and not be deceitful in whitepaper. In situations like this, the very best will shine and be recognized in the world of icos. Advertising might not be in these known social networks but telegrams, altcoin forums etc.

I think your view is an appropriate explanation to the question asked. The fees reduction is also one factor. Icos patronize etheruem alot and in my view, last year had lots of Icos compared to this year and that is affecting the usage of etheruem. Last year helped the patronage of etheruem.

I just don't agree that transaction fees are tax on bitcoin. Transaction fee is just what it is which is a charge on the transaction carried out for an investor. For instance, banks do charge for services done for a customer and that is not referred to as tax.

Tax is charged by the government and that excludes the charge for service from a company.

These government would always say such but individually, they all invest in it and also launder money with it. They are all guilty of speaking with both sides of the mouth.

I do not think that users have considered cost of living against the strength of a currency. The value of a currency is important. Consequently, if a currency is devalued, it affects the cost of living because inflation would be high. So I think cost of living and currency go hand in hand.

Some countries are small in size, number and popularity yet their cost of living is very high because the country's currency is devalued while some are doing well because their currency is really active and in use giving it more strength.

Did I read anybody giving a specific time or year for that revolutionary adoption? Nope!.  This is because ,in the past financial revolutions where gold was replaced with fiat or paper money, from paper money to cashless represented by loading money in plastic cards, the change wasn't spontaneous. Thus, this present advocation won't catch most people unaware. It must be gradual and assimilating but it will happen.

This is exactly what should happen. It is the adoption and usage that will control the price. The higher the request, the effect on price.

Well , I can not agree that the price of bitcoin for the future will be known by anyone. What we just do is assumption because last year, no body expected price to surge the way it did the last few weeks to the end of last year. The price is expected to go higher than $10,000 certainly.

Hacking an exchange account should not affect a personal account of investors with the exchange. I'm thinking the exchange would still have the record of amount of coins owned by an investor, except they also want to be fraudulent because in actual sense, it is money that was stolen and not record.

It is very convenient. From the comfort of your home, you transact business or send money to loved ones. It is very open, no secrecy and the charges are clearly calculated depending on how much one is sending.

How to have airdrop or be a beneficiary is to sign up with the ico.

Where it goes is to the wallet you provided when signing up with ico company. The airdrop tokens are usually distributed at the end of the ico.

I do not see bitcoin helping the world economy but rather it can help an individual economy. Obviously, every country will not legalise bitcoin but the individual economy that adopts bitcoin can push in a huge investment when bitcoin is down to get some accruing profit from investment when price go up.  By such profit, the individual country can better her nation and her people by providing more social amenities, building projects, factories and employment.

It is not clear to me whether we are referring to bitcoin here as metamorphosing in fiat global currency - and this is impossible to happen.

Or, whether we are talking about bitcoin remaining as cryptocurrency and being a globally used cryptocurrency with any fiat currency.

In my view from second paragraph, bitcoin can only remain as cryptocurrency and won't become a globally used currency, replacing fiat. This is owing to the disadvantages. Topping the list of disadvantages is internet facilitation.

I think when target group or target market in economics, is simply saying the class of people that a product is made for, its purpose and uses For instance, there are some products that are for adults and children, so we can say that the group for diapers are children and not adults  .
 
I can say that the target group for bitcoin is the people, the users. That is, the people who believe it and are investing on it.

They can only run away freely with investors money because they can't be traced, no ban or jail term for them. This is why we are going to continue having them around. We also have such in the forum but really checked to the minimum level because this forum is highly regulated.

Things are called illicit business they trive in secrecy and government come down seriously on secrecy and illicit. On the other hand, we should remember that bitcoin is decentralized and that means it can not be controlled by just a government or should not be controlled at all. So if we say it is used for money laundering, well maybe the fraudulent people in government decides to take the advantage.

I won't discourage any hodler to let go of his or her possession since dogecoin is similar to bitcoin. Anything is possible to happen from burning excess coin to adoption of cryptocurrency generally or dogecoin particularly, to political manipulations.

I expect dollar to actually be volatile because it is the most active  fiat, recognized and used for trade internationally. It dominates the exchanges just as bitcoin do. This is one reason. Dominating the market means multiple activities and maybe manipulation around the currency.
