At the CNBC global CFO conference, 97 CFO were asked about their views on bitcoin. 27.9% of them think the encrypted currency is trueBut in a bubble state~ 27.9%? And you concluded with that statistics that bitcoin is in a bubble state when you of course know that compared to the other 72.1% that chose otherwise, and if we are to judge with that, then your topic is totally wrong. Bitcoin is an asset, it is valuable, and it is highly going to be useful more than we already have it. It would end up being a bubble if none of these are in place and then a time would come that it would burst. In fact, it would have busted a very long time ago. Normally, we cannot dispute the fact that FOMOs would keep rushing in every now and then, but if you look at the charts and you understand what bitcoin is, you will have to start thinking otherwise.

Honestly, when this whole fork started, I knew it would end up being a joke at the end and then we will see some dumb ass devs and scammers trying to use the fork medium to enrich their pockets. If you want to have a coin that would be as fast as lightening, why not just go try to create a new one and start afresh.
This is just becoming appalling and honestly, users need to start discarding these forks and if not for some stupid exchanges like Yobit that would end up listing them, they should not even be allowed. People should learn to let the devs keep bag holding their shitcoins for themselves.

Yes it will be , much now that it rapidly growing day by day. It's possible for bitcoin to reach $12000 to $15000 before 2017 ends. If i were you , i would also invest to it and make profit as 2018 will enter. 2018 would be a great start for ETH to so im thinking if i will invest to it , currently its about $500 and keeps rising.
In fact, the rapidness has been crazy and no one knows how long this craziness is going to keep up. There is no possibility that can be discarded right now, cause who would have thought that bitcoin would get to this point even before the end of November, when we were all expecting $10,000 by December ending. Like you said, next year would really be a bullish year for ETH as well and some few other cryptos and also banking on waves too as well. So I would rather diversify my folio.

Yes it is. Now a days bitcoin is the most high valued cryptocurrency. And it is continuously increasing high. So there's no way to say that bitcoin is not controversial.
Well, if we are saying the value is increasing each and every day is causing some sort of controversial, then it should be expected. However, all these controversy started when the government realized there is something taking some chunk of country from them which cannot be stopped as it has grown hugely like a virus already. Bitcoin being decentralized alone is causing controversy and as long as the government cannot really state that out so as not to sound like fools, they would rather keep calling it any name they want.

Somebody can help me about the taxes mining Bitcoins in Canada and USA. Taxes to import the hardware, income tax, etc.
i suggest researching if have a government regulation about mining in the said country because here in my country mining have nope taxes but the electricity power fees is very expensive, payment with expensive electricty i think is enough to pay taxes including in the electricity bill. It totally balls down on the location just as you have said. I have been mining for a while and apart from the tax I had to pay alongside the hardware, the electricity bill I pay, there has been no form of tax. The only way I guess I may have to end up paying tax is if my government decides to start taxing when converting to fiat while making use of the exchanges. As a Canadian living in Ontario, I have been mining bitcoins and altcoins for quite a while and don't pay imposes on the bitcoin that I mined. In any case, that is for the most part since I don't offer.
In any case, from what I heard, on the off chance that you are a business and acknowledge bitcoin, you need to report it. In the event that you mined bitcoin and sold it, it considers capital pick up.
Well, those are capital gains and unless you report it, mostly by converting into fiat with the use of an exchange, then this is where tax comes in. Even without mining in some places and you just buy BTC, it is known that you will end up having some gains on it which means it is subject to tax. So, if you decide to mine, pay your electricity bills and leave your funds in your wallet, then tax obviously does not apply.

me personally it was beneficial but not in the way you think. I haven't made shit tons of money but I learned about a lot of technical stuff and I learned a lot about myself as well.
I have not made shit tons of money either, but at least it has been better than keeping all my funds in my wallet alone and watching it grow in value which is cool too if you do not want to take the whole huge risk that comes with trading. The risk is not that huge if you can learn and honestly, I have been making some pretty good bucks for a while now and I hope to keep making as much as I can. Mistakes though are normal and I cannot start stating all the mistakes I have made here, one thing for sure is that I learn from them.

Yes it'll keep rising but I think before that there will be a big dump and Bitcoin price will down to under 9k$ maybe then it'll rise back soon in just a few days. It's always happen the same because the whales still not get enough profit and they wanna get a big amount of money more before Bitcoin price go to the moon in next year ) Right. A big dump is most definitely going to happen and I am expecting that in some few days. A lot of new investors have quickly rushed in and I guess we are going to see some little stability for now and then a correction afterwards before we end up seeing another run to the moon. Bitcoin has gotten to a stage where we should be expecting some huge rising, but nothing goes up without coming down at least a little in the market world.

Is it possible to buy Ripple straight up? or is it only able to buy in a trade? using other currency to get Ripple? thanks
There's not much of a P2P market if that's what you're getting at. There's no LocalBitcoins for XRP. There's a marketplace subforum for altcoins, but I did a quick search and didn't see anything of interest. If you're trying to exchange USD (i.e. from your bank account), then the most reputable place to buy Ripple XRP is on Bitstamp. Keep in mind, you'll need to fully verify your identity to trade there. You can also deposit USD to Kraken to get XRP. Other options are Bitfinex, Poloniex and Bittrex, but you'll probably need to buy BTC first so you can send it there and trade on the XRP/BTC markets. There is really not much of a P2P market for most altcoins for now anyway and the best shot is just what you have stated. Most altcoins these days can only be gotten either directly from some of the altcoins website, or straight up from exchange. Exchanges are the best and I have always made use of bittrex in getting some of my altcoins and storing them on a wallet that accepts it. I have never really been a fan of leaving assets in an exchange unless I want to trade. BTC/ETH/USDT can be a good option to use to buy on bittrex. I believe it is the OP's decision, but why XRP though ?

Everyone should stay away from YoBit. The yob2x coin of them is showing their true colour.
Even segwit 2x already cancelled so that coins just issued by the yobit exchange itself, and what a shame with that shitcoin. Yobit try to take the advantages from the segwit2x of bitcoin cancelation. But looks another like hitbtc still didn't erase it. I am surprised it is still being traded not just on Yobit but HitBTC. However, I won't blame the exchanges in this case anyway, probably; I would rather blame the people trading them. Trading is a risk and if you cannot do enough diligence to know what you are holding or buying, then it is the call of the person in question who states himself as the trader and not these exchanges. All the above, this does not still remove my doubts on these exchanges, most especially Yobit. And as long as it is full of shitcoins, then that makes it a shitty exchange.

Why would you recommend him to avoid bittrex ? The fact that they had to lock accounts and ask them to verify does not make them out of the system, and if you feel you want to go ahead with an exchange that would not really bother about verification, then it is your call. Definitely I blame them for not at least updating each of their users before the ban but you have to understand that they are being subjected to US regulations and one would just have to deal with the verification process.

I believe god will give us a wealth for a reason maybe if we have now a capacity to help others by our new found wealth we must do helping for today before everything is toolate.bitcoin wealth is like a blessings that is really un expectable and maybe introducing the advantages of bitcoin is also a great way of helping others that they will be having an idea to make learning and maybe they can gain someday if they do bitcoin.
The thing is people get wealthy every single day and I do not see how the government can just keep rolling down on them every single minute trying to question their wealth as long as they are not doing anything illegal or have any proof to state something illegal is being done. I do not know the level of corruption in OP's country, but governments already know a lot of elites are being created with bitcoin and if that is your source, and you did not get it illegally, then why try to hide from the government? Just my thoughts though, after all, bitcoin is being taxed in some places already.

As we inch closer to $10000 this year, the price getting down to $3000 is very slim. That would be like more than 50% of the current price so its unlikely to happen. A simple drop of 10-15%, people are already rushing to get and buy bitcoin because most of us really feel that bitcoin's future is really bright. And even in such an attack that we have seen Bitcoin Cash try to pull thorough, bitcoin didn't nudge although the price went to $5600, investors are really quick to think the opportunity to get it back while the price is at a discount. So in my opinion, we will not get bitcoin going down again to $3000.
Slim is a rather pretty word to use, I would say it is impossible. There are some things that really should not be expected and if someone here is still holding fiats and waiting for the $3k mark before they buy, I guess they will have to wait to tell their kids the story why they did not join the rest of the world when they were buying now. There is just so little to go around and a lot of big investors are really finding bitcoin interesting right now, so to see a value like that, except if there is a war on bitcoin, then it is impossible.

Yeah, it does not work well generally, but this is Bitcoin, a digital currency limited to 16 million of them out of which a few million are probably lost.
All of these 'veteran traders' will be eating their own in a couple years when they see Bitcoin over and above their smooth predictions. oh wait, they probably are already eating it right now if they did not get a chance to get into the game while they had a chance.
It is something that is much expected and there is something that comes with massive adoption when we see a lot of investors trying to get in on the train so they do not miss out. We cannot doubt the fact that bitcoin is catching the interests of a lot of investors, most holders are still trying to hold so much looking at the way things have been going and then we will just have to see the value increasing the more and if those at the Federal Reserves are worried, they should better just take their chances now.

A trend has been started that bitcoin is now used only for raising income by buying and selling it but we are ignoring its most important fact that it was created to be used as currency and if it can be used as the currency it would really help community to enjoy its eases and regions who are accepting btc must have to start it as currency this will automatically boost user no's as well a prices,
It totally depends on the mode you want to switch yourself to. Both are good, but we both know if you invest it properly, it is more like multiplying what you have which does not mean you cannot do the two. Spending is important and if trading is normally not even going on right now which is still part of currency mode as far as I am concerned, we won't be seeing the fluctuations we are seeing. Certainly we cannot deny the fact that it is not widely accepted yet, which is what makes the currency mode difficult without having to convert to fiat before, but it is a gradual thing.

Omg I just checked on the price and it suddenly took a leap from 8.8k to 9.3k$. People predicted it would reach 10k$ by year end ,what are your predictions ,any new trading strategy you have come up with?
Wow.. Bitcoin is very interesting now l hope so the price will not go down. Many bitcoiners will celebrate this Christmas very happy because their salary will increase. It feels joy inside the heart that we all have the price of bitcoin getting higher and higher. Bitcoin will be powerful soon because of its price so amazing.Thats was bitcoiners waiting for. Of course! It is a happy Christmas celebration already with what we are having now. A lot of traders and bitcoin enthusiasts have been expecting this value at $10000 though, so I won’t be surprised if there is going to be a correction once we hit that value. However, it means one single thing and which is that the fact that we are able to test the $10k ATH at least even before December means we should be stable on that value while entering next year.

I think that is definitely possible. At the rate it has been growing and all the good news coming out anything is possible.
The rate is even really surprising. I remember at the beginning of this year, most people were not really expecting this much and then here we have it. With so many things that happened that tried to halt the growth of bitcoin, it was just persistent and that is one thing to look forward to as an investor. With a lot that has happened, we will start seeing more investors coming in and trying to be a part of the show. I thought I was late earlier this year, but I guess I was not after all.

I bought a bit bitcoincash and think to sell it for $ 2000. When do you think, this will happen? after new year or before? If you really looked at the trend of this coin since its inception, then you will know this is not a coin to hold for too long. Two things are bound to happen; 1. You hold for too long and then you end up finding out that you have lost so much when you could have gotten a better profit in a much better non-manipulated coin. 2. You are lucky to buy at a time when the value was very low and then you decided to hold for long and sell at peaks (that is totally a very huge luck which might take some time) However, I will advise you to look for a better coin with much more chance than trading this coin which is being manipulated by Roger, except you are OK with that and you are ready to take the risk, then you can go ahead.

If all exchange like this? What will make people want to trade in cryptocurrency? Everybody said that trading crypto is easy to get extra income but the exchange that trouble mean we make income only for exchange.
It would really start being a huge issue trading cryptocurrency in the long run if exchanges keep up like this until we start having decentralized exchanges where users will have total access and full control of their funds. However, I guess it is not something that we should expect anytime soon since it seems most of these exchanges all have a hidden agenda which is locking people's account in the name of verification, taking their funds and keeping silent on it. Why should a verified user be at ease knowing that anything can also happen to their accounts as well without being notified?

I sold LTC.
BTC is promising now. It ll have forking, Free money. Hold it and later you can buy cheap altcoin from that forking.
Conservative approach. we never recommended LTC to any of our clients. Atomic Swap and other SegWIT Stuffs were just hype, In long term the altcoin that will stand is ETH , Lisk , XMR. In as much as we can expect anything huge for any of the altcoins, we cannot really say much yet, can we? I sure know most of these coins you have mentioned will have a chance to grow, but the ocean is large and even ETH is not really giving so much as expected so far. With the development so far, I hope it does but with a lot of competitors coming up with the same type of project, a lot of work should be done so it does not get overtaken. Litecoin on the other hand is one coin I will just stay mute on for the moment.
