in my experience it depends on how long you want to keep them. if it is the real cold cold-storage then a paper wallet is the best option since you won't be accessing it but if you want to spend the funds then a paper wallet is going to prove some difficulties when you want to spend anything. since you will have to sweep the keys then generate a new paper wallet to send the remaining funds to that.
in this case a hardware wallet or another wallet installed on another offline computer is best. like electrum on an old PC or a live linux.

don't invest everything you ever had but make sure to invest something. bitcoin is very scarce. there is a very limited number of coins created and the maximum amount will be fixed and won't change. it is a simple supply and demand relationship.

unfortunately this seems to be the new rules as i said above combined with the massive ticket requests and their lack of enough support power.
if the amount is big like that guy in the reddit link you can tell him to make a topic on reddit and ping those /u/okcoin... guys that were pinged in that comment below it. and since it is already 1 month i think it is ok to do it now.

these ethereum guys always do this! you only have to have a G or I in your companies name for them to start saying Google, IBM is investing in bitcoin, ethereum. see his last comment in this topic how he advertised investment in ethereum in line with bitcoin.

this is because of the new regulation rules that Chinese exchanges have to follow now. and since you said it is a large amount they are asking for more information. he has no choice but to provide all these documents properly and fully.
he is doing something wrong that they are rejecting his docs, just tell him to contact the site support and solve it by communicating.

there are always ways to evade taxes but using bitcoin doesn't mean it will become easier. it actually is much harder to evade taxes using bitcoin because the first thing to do while performing a successful tax evasion is to not show how much money you own and forge documents, ...
with bitcoin all your transactions are public knowledge on the blockchain and with enough chain analysis the source and destinations can easily be found.

$10k will just be the start of the rise!
with lightning network the price will start rising as fast as lightning.
we are currently stuck behind a very long debate which has stalled the rise of bitcoin. if we had Seg Wit then the Japan news about mass adoption would have had a very different effect and price would have already reached $4000

for years people have been saying cloud mining is not profitable and nobody ever listens until they invest and waste their time and money to realize it on their own.

the only case which i have ever seen cloud mining be profitable was when you could buy GHS and mine right away but be able to sell it on the market just as fast like trading an altcoin and make profit. if you could ever find something like that, and if you are good at trading then consider investing in it.

the problem is nobody knows!
a lot of different things can happen so bitcoin price can go in a lot of different directions.

if you have invested more than you can afford to lose, or if the amount is making you uneasy then sell some of it to reduce the pressure on your mind.

if not then don't worry too much and wait for things to become a little clearer and then make a decision.

meh, it is dissapointing because a known shit news site has posted this so i wouldn't bother reading it.

and i don't get the title either, it is not really "suddenly", it proves cointelegraph is once again posting random stuff without researching. Indian have been debating what to do about bitcoin for a long time now. they have multiple good exchanges and a very large trading volume with the price even higher than USD markets (about 10% higher).

there have even been a couple of petitions in the past couple of months to make bitcoin officially legal. so yeah, apparently months and months of work to CTL means suddenly

someone knowledgable and without drama, needs to make a summary topic of the situation and post it in this board. i see a lot of FUD and false information these days that is making my head spin.

the summary needs to cover a couple of questions:
1. what is the difference between SegWit and SegWit2x
2. why do people keep saying it is BU code, it is buggy, it will crash,...
3. who are working on it. is it tested
...

from what i have read the "consensus" is at 95% not lower.
and that 0.8% you see is just fluctuations.
also the duration that they should keep signalling without falling under the said percentage on average is a full difficulty adjustment period. and then it will Lock_in. and it is on average meaning if it is 97% then goes down to 94% and up again and down again it still is considered on average above 95%

that's just the start. very soon more ICO owners will want to sell their funds they have received in their ICO sells and we are talking about a couple of million dollars for each of them not just small amounts!
and when that happens all the money will crash ETH and will come back to bitcoin and lead to higher rise.

do you mean their hashrate drop down 15% of what they currently have (which is 17% i believe) which means going down to 14-15% or goes down 15% meaning drop to 2% in total?

also do you have any source for me that i can read about ASIC boost? i saw some stuff the first day it was revealed but didn't see how much it is boosting.

in addition to all that, the only other thing that can hurt bitcoin the most is its users in my opinion.
mostly the users who don't understand bitcoin at all. they see it as a plaything to make money only and make it fast. they have weird expectations from bitcoin and when they are not met they start thinking it is dead.
and one more thing is many who have started calling bitcoin just as an store of value. and this will haunt us in the long term if more people stop wanting bitcoin as it should be (a currency) and want it only as an store of value.

i don't know why but it seems like nobody suggested walletexplorer.com so far! you can search a bitcoin address there and see all the linked addresses, it has some good information but it is not complete but it is free.

if you scroll down to the bottom of the page you'll see their paid services which is more complete and better. if you are serious about finding someone and are willing to pay then contact them and ask how their services are.
but don't have high expectations because this is bitcoin and if someone wants they can hide their tracks pretty well.

actually the high fee of 0.0025BTC belongs to kraken, i am not using it i just checked them out to see how much it is. if you search you can see it for yourself too!


sometimes in the small exchanges that have some coins that are not listed anywhere else i do trading and do it with small amounts of bitcoin, so if they have 10K satoshi fee it is best for me. but mostly i just wanted to know my options to be able to choose better.

with the rise of transction fees all the exchanges that i know have increased their withdrawal fees, and some of them even increased it to ridiculously high amounts like 0.0025BTC per transaction!!!

so is there any place that has not yet increased this or has a lower fee?

well what did you expect? all these advertising networks are only being used by faucet sites and a little part of it is from real sites. this is exactly why some real big and legit ad networks such as google deny faucets!

if you want to advertise then it is best to do it directly on a bitcoin or gambling or bitcoin gambling related website, they all accept banners directly too. you struck a deal and place your ad there. it may cost more but the result is much better.

and obviously signature on a forum is always an option.

just the fact that you think you understand it differently that others doesn't mean you are correct!
a bubble doesn't have to be a 10million dollar bubble. it can effectively be a smaller size too. and besides if you research more about "bubble" there is no absolute definition for it. you can call a $10 rise a bubble the same way you can call a $10000 rise.
there is a lot of factors to consider too. things such as how much new money came in and with bitcoin you should always consider the adoption increase which is causing the rise.
