I agree with you. I see it less and less as an everyday currency as I see it is the gold standard for many forms of currencies. It was the original and the inspiration of all crypto/fintech/blockchain technologies we will see in the future. I still see it climbing the highest of anything out there.

Most of the paragraphs are highlighting Ethereum. The title is misleading. It should have been something more like "Blockchain Companies Join Bitcoin in Financial Revolution" or something like that.

This is a little much. This seems to be happening more. I am thinking of some apps or websites that you cannot sign up for unless through your facebook account. This will be the norm soon where social media accounts will be a part of identification.

It is very exciting to see so many "killer app" projects upcoming in the near future. They will definitely add great value to bitcoin, and I think the price has to reflect that, so I think the price will go up after these things come out. I rank them by my estimation of their order of importance, and how I believe each one will add value to bitcoin. 4⟫ OpenBazaar - Decentralized P2P marketplace, a great invention that never existed before, and has the power to reshape global trading. It could work with any currency, so all currencies could gain value, but I think it will bring more value to cryptocurrencies, in majority for bitcoin. Frictionless global trading will also help many poor countries, that may already be looking after bitcoin, but need a "killer app" to start using it frequently. A huge project that will give indirect support to cryptocurrencies. 6⟫ Joystream - Decentralized filesharing system. It is really helpful for small producers: singers, musicians, DJ's, and other artists. They can just host their art for a very affordable price and get a huge audience, while bitcoiners could get a new money earning platform. Therefore many newbies will have an opportunity to earn bitcoin, thus increasing the demand and utility for bitcoin. It's a big direct support for bitcoin. These two are on my radar and I hope to be using OpenBazaar soon, been following development and testing. I had not heard of Joystream but it sounds interesting and am excited to see where that goes. Definitely an exciting year for bitcoin. |

Okay so from April 7 to April 14 Wright will publicly perform a cryptographic miracle(!!!) \
Hilarious...cryptographic miracle. Didn't we go through this last year with this guy? April Fools for sure. |

This is like the 3rd time in a year that Russia is going to move forward with banning Bitcoin. Not possible, it is a decentralized technology and does not belong to any certain geographic area. It is global.

It is absolutely undervalued and that figure seems good. It seems safe haven assets like precious metals are usually undervalued until needed.

Very true. Everyone stay vigilant and remember that people will do whatever they can to get your bitcoins before the halving and in general. This is not to say there are not some good altcoins out there that have been around awhile and have good dev teams. Make sure the coins is not heavily premined. On coinmarketcap you can clearly see which coins are because they will have an asterisk next to them.

Bitcoin has survived a lot bigger things than Ethereum. It is just hot air. Once one big name writes the story others write their own version of the same crap information. Nothing to see here.

Entirely possible but what is 1,000,000 going to be worth in 20 years with the rate of inflation? Bitcoin should be 10,000,000 in 20 years to keep up.

Yes, as it becomes more popular, as it is right now, regulations will not be far behind. I see most regulations in regards to taxation but each country can have their own. Unfortunately more regulation means more legitimacy. New people to bitcoin may also feel comfortable with regulations so it may be an integral part of widespread adoption.

The bitcoin currency format support update has been listed in the “In Development” stage and says: “Now use Excel to track, calculate and analyze Bitcoin data using native Bitcoin number formatting options. Feature is first being rolled out to Excel 2016 for Windows, Excel Online, Excel Mobile for Windows and Excel Mobile for Android.” http://www.econotimes.com/MS-Excel-2016-To-Support-Bitcoin-Currency-Format-187222Great news! This: "According to the roadmap, ‘Bitcoin Currency Format Support’ will be rolled out to Excel 2016. Needless to say, this announcement signifies the growing popularity of Bitcoin." |

Too bad, it used to be more reliable. Bitcoin and the crypto world really need safe exchanges and I think that things are going more in this direction.

I was a bit more optimistic than others  I went for 70%. 4 years is a long time when things like technology can change overnight or be adopted at much faster rates. |

It doesn't mean Microsoft would own NEM. It just doesn't guys, so you can stop posting all the Microsoft fine print.
Then why do you supposed a mega corporation has interest in an open source project that is crowdfunded and could very well be a huge competitor in the future? Don't forget how they have been brought up on claims of becoming a monopoly and buying out early start ups before. Don't forget how Windows 10 is free but on the cost of sending your information back to central servers for who knows what. Ok, so you're guessing. So their plot is to steal all the altcoins? No I don't think it is too far off to have the thought that Microsoft is attempting to grab up altcoins or see the code or whatever else. Why has Microsoft been so quiet about bitcoin forever and are now super supportive of alts, some of them are even crap. At first it sounded good but now that they are adding everyone that applies it is speculative what their intentions are. At the end of the day these big companies realize that bitcoin / blockchain / alts were created by someone other than themselves and they are in a scrambling phase to see how they can get a piece. Good luck getting a piece of decentralization. |

It's good to see that corporate like Disney is hiring a blockchain expert. But in the job description, it is nowhere written that they need a developer. They just need someone who knows a bit of PHP programming and have good experience in wordpress.
Probably they want to explore the possibility of blockchain technology. But it is not very good for the general people because if the big corporate starts pouring money into blockchain, the benefits will be restricted from the general people. Lets see what happens.
General people rely on big companies for their requirement and day to day livelihood this is another reason why the adoption, must take off first from big company and not by average joe itself, they follow the mass, they do not initiate anything by themselves(talking about average joes) I agree with this. While my hope is that bitcoin can take off from average joes (decentralized) I am beginning to see that a big company (centralized) will be the catalyst for more adoption. We have to attract average joes with the big companies. Whatever works! |

I agree with what you say OP and nothing can stop Bitcoin except centralization but that is just not going to happen. It was designed to avoid this and I think it will prevail once the devs agree on things. The question of whether or not bitcoin or cryptos will survive or exist is non-existent anymore with over 8 billion as a market cap - the numbers don't lie and people and organizations are becoming more aware of digital currency and blockchain technology. One day it won't even be a question - the next question will be how much of the world is using it.

LISK and ETH are both scam in my book but will see how long will it overlapped each other, it is going to be fun to watch.
According to your book nearly everything are scam  . Especially ICO coins. You should think about these coins as prototypes, as this stuff will be future of currency one day. I tend to think of them as prototypes as well. Not everything is a scam and many alts are way more than currency and have great future potential. There is innovation in the mix. |

Bitcoin is invented by Satoshi Nakamoto but it is common knowledge that his identity is not known.If there arise any dispute related to bitcoin or its ownership,how would it be settled by court of law or in other words who is the legal owner of bitcoin?
The legal owner of any bitcoin is the person holding the private key of the address which contains those bitcoins. That's it. Don't need court or anyone else to decide that. Exactly, you are the owner, I am the owner, my uncle is the owner. We are all bitcoin - decentralized. |
