that must be suck few MLM could and few bad guys whose problem were exposed can really screw up bitcoin's image there. i'd recommend to show some infos about bitcoin to your beloved father and explain why it's trustful. some materials could be found out in youtube. just search "bitcoin explanation videos" and everything you needs will be there.
in my country also having some MLM which use bitcoin as their currency after failing with fiat and it's really give bitcoin a bad impact among people here

Lots and lots of trading and exchange websites were available for bitcoin buying, selling and for trading needs. Personally I feel ease of trading through localbitcoins.com, as it is understandable even for a newbie without someone's help.
i guess OP don't need a site to exchange bitcoin to fiat but an altcoins trading platform for trading purpose honestly i will strongly prefer poloniex as its most known site for trading and have such a huge volume for 24 hours. the bigger volume the fastest transaction going and the demand and supply will be much more than a site which has lesser volume. and their support is not really bad i guess |

Panic selling means theres no tomorrow for bitcoin to up again.panic selling makes bitcoin price down day after day,and no chance to rise up again.
Definitely such an invalid reason stated by you. panic selling had already happened to bitcoin for multiple times and until now the bitcoin price could just go up easily and now even reached $700. Panic selling doesn't make things getting doomed, it's just a temporary selling trend and will eventually end |

Of course the manipulation is real. I'm just surprised at how late you realized it. I guess it's better late than never. I'm laughing at those who still claim it's all supply and demand, market volatility, blah blah blah, such stupidity abounds here on this stupid forum.
Supply and demand did always affected bitcoin price, I thought 'the manipulation' they discuss here about some big players (millionaire/company/exchanges) all these connected to rise and fall of bitcoin price. What kind of manipulation that you realized since the beginning except those I mentioned, if you don't mind to share. not an actual manipulation we're talking about I guess. It's just bunch of whales trying to get the advantage of the current condition by dumping or pumping and it's such a usual thing. An individual who has about a billion dollar worth of bitcoin could affect bitcoin directly with and give such a big effect compared to demands which were made by hundreds of people but only have low amount of money |

Why people insist in putting everything online? clouds, webwallets..
Just make an ring with your private key, make a tattoo under your feet, just don't trust on internet.
maybe to simplify when they're in needs of the private key immediately so they could just simply open up their cloud account and then take the private key. though cloud storage is not so secure. for an example when some celebrities' photos were taken from iCloud (yeah it's iCloud and was made by Apple). even cloud storage which was provided by a professional company like Apple and quite expensive also have a hole on it |

I think it will be a long time until they are accepted in normal stores
Cities will probably adapt first though
This is true, that it will takes too long time until that the normal store will use the bitcoin as the method of payment like the adaptation of credit card to the normal stores and most of small stores do not accept that credit card until now. almost every small stores in developed countries are accepting things like credit card or debit card. they just simply provide an EDC machine and they're now could accept any kind of cards freely. and i think if they don't provide this thing on their shop they will lose potential buyers |

i think its good deal that he want to sell his cattle for bitcoin and i think we can use bitcoin with easily and if someone send bitcoin to this person if someone is same country of this cattleman then its possible.
Yeah using Bitcoin for the payment currency is such a good option especially if he'd live in Zimbabwe. Their currency fluctuation is overwhelming. I guess no one is going to lift 1 kilogramme of money for a cattle instead of using bitcoin with ease. just hand him a phone and everything will be fine |

Since the election of Trump to the new US President yesterday, many questions about Bitcoin arise.
Will he promote Bitcoin and make it a breakthrough? Will he even officially ban Bitcoin? Will he make such a bad economic (and monetary) policy that Bitcoin will be seen as an alternative for many?
What do you think, what will a President Trump mean for Bitcoin?
i doubt it changes anything for bitcoin, until he announces any changes for digital currencies that is. But when he won the election we saw a huge spike in the price of bitcoin because everyone was switching currencies to bitcoin. Definitely. When he was getting elected the rate of USD is dumped hence people getting worried and then save it in the form of bitcoin. Though this not last so long and the US could recover their economy in just a few days afterwards. i guess the price was increased not only because the falling rate of dollar |

The danger is the price it could be fall anytime and back into nothing. But I guess whales wont allow that to happen. They have invested so much money in btc so the chance of btc getting back into nothing is no chance atm.
what's those whales can do then. their funds are not unlimited yet they can't prevent what's going on with the price whether it's falling or increasing. those whales who invested on bitcoin are actually seeking for the volatility so they can grow their funds and add its value by doing some price margin trading. they're not going to hold the price and just let it stay at the same place for a long time |

Well in my experience i face some pending sending and receive like few days ago when i was receiving my signature payment for week for 0.0147 with fee of 0.0001 satoshi and it takes a day before i receive it. this is always happening because of some wallet like coinbase you can not edit or manuallypay a fee for your transaction that can result sometimes of delay..
Also as a bitcoin user i am still not satisfied the fees this days because i experience to pay $1 in small transaction.. because the size of transaction is above 1mb,,
I hope it can be change in the future.. because we are using bitcoin because of low fee..
I agree, that is the obvious problem of using bitcoin. Cutomers are need fast and practicaly transaction. People will not like to wait and stand in supermarket although only 10 minute. I hope this problem can be solve soon. the merchant just need to accept the transaction by zero confirmation. simply checking out the fees given and be sure to be above minimum requirements. no double spend at the time by checking the address' transaction. everything would be fine and there's no need to wait since it's obviously zero confirmation |

Yesterday it even passes the 750$ mark. Do you even believe it ? Each day seems like a dream for my wallet  ! I do believe in bitcoin!! Im almost ready for christmas. Just a little bit of uptrend. And my year end is so much happy.thanks to bitcoin. 4 years ago price went to 1200 $ in two weeks, there is possibility for same thing to happen again. With only difference in what will happen after, and instead of some drop it would be great to stay high and not fall after increase. Well Christmas is really close, its nice when price is going up and everything is OK. I also hope that this trend will continue. well a bit worried when Christmas is going to come. people are forced to sell their bitcoin adding more supply while demands remain the same because they need to buy stuffs for the Christmas. even some people said that there will be a dump on Christmas (didn't really trust it though) but anything could happen right? |

Mainstream adoption is coming, get coins now while you still can
Once the whales move in, whole coins will be too expensive for the average user ( $10k+) and people will deal in Mbits or maybe even satoshis...
Yup I could wish business whales like Microsoft, HP,Walmart and more companies should accept bitcoins. These kind of will definitely make good change around the world for bitcoin market. microsoft had accepted bitcoin long ago (In December 2014) as their one of many payment options even though they ever erasing it from the list but they just get it back into their sites. ( http://www.cnbc.com/2016/03/14/microsoft-stops-accepting-bitcoin-on-windows-10.html) the news above are publishing about microsoft's apologizes and i do agree that adoption by some mainstream website will really give an affect or impact to bitcoin. may even skyrocketing the adoption |

Find Bitcoin vending machine near your place. I've read all your question above and it seems the only problem is your age, buying on an individual may help you but mostly they don't accept card due to too much fraud transaction i guess. or maybe you can try to buy a physical bitcoin which was inserted with a private key of an address containing some amount of bitcoin,it's exist if i'm not wrong

I would prefer "Two things are certain: Death and Taxes." I think Bitcoin will not be here forever. There is a great possibility that governments will ditch paper money and go into their own cryptocurrency.
Definitely there's possibilities for those governments to make up their own digital currency instead of counting on bitcoin for the sake of their own security and to build up their economy to be better. but i guess it's not going to be a problem because bitcoin is not aiming to be the main currency of a country but to be universally used in this planet |

Thank you for your answer aubert.
Unfortunately it seems that XAPO is not available from itunes in the UK.
Well if that so. I recommend you to use a wallet which allows you to set custom fee so you can use the minimal fee to make your every transaction fee cheaper (as long it's still meet the requirement it won't slow down your transaction) or even without fee but the transaction could possibly rejected by the network and taking few days to be confirmed if you're lucky enough Honestly, I never found a wallet that's not charging any fee like XAPO so far. Some may only require you to pay the cheap fee but it's not free |

I think that bitcoin is already the internet's fuel but the only thing is missing is the support i mean the bitcoin is already a secure way to pay unlike virtual bank accounts that can be hacked , all we need is a way to spend our bitcoin on the internet
Nah you're wrong. bitcoin can be hacked through knowing the access to your address or taking the control over it. there's nothing in this world which are absolutely safe. you must set up your security and get its maximal potential for keeping your funds safe and it's you the only one who can do it |

property is good investment and above is compare fiat money , real curency
because property every year value always incraese in price, and you can get return with you have property, you property can loan another person
real curency every year value always down because inflation
You must know the differences between investing on fiat and property. investing on fiat are mostly for short term while investing on property may take a long time to get pretty decent profit out of it. And when investing on the property you must already prepare to fulfil your monthly needs and for the urgent situation while in fiat you can just easily withdraw it when you need it |

I guess it's XAPO, their wallet also available for multi-platform: iOS, Android, and in their website for desktop,and as stated on their blog which is addressing about the "No More Transaction Fees" ( https://blog.xapo.com/no-more-network-transaction-fees/). This feature not only limited for transactions between XAPO users but bitcoin address to bitcoin address transaction |

She talks about bitcoin not in the way that she knows about it, but in a way of disgust at how fast the world is changing. I can't wrap my head around fully deciding whether that's good or bad.
i suppose the the fast growing of technology is having both good and bad side. i'd agree that this grandma talking about bitcoin that way,being surprised by another advanced technology which could replace paper money at the first place. not a surprising reaction |

this is because many people using bitcoin and they come from many country and places so this can make any fluctuation for the price. beside that, the price of bitcoin is following the fiat rate and this is why the price is change in every day. and beside that the market itself is really give contribution for the changing of the price of bitcoin.
That might be due to the fact that the bitcoin is not a major currency yet. The usage is rare and it is just for speculation. even fiat's rate always changing so does with bitcoin. keep in mind, those fiat are owned by a country and the country will do anythingpossible to keep their currencies rate high to prevent crisis,different with bitcoin which had not made by government and pure demand by the market |
