That could be the same reason why most of the people are rich. I think that volatility is part of the game, it is seems that when the crypto is not volatile enough there could be much lower investor and there could be much lower chance that bitcoin will be famous. One of the biggest part that pulls the people in investing in crypto is its ability to change price over night. A single day could make hundreds or thousand of dollar to someone. While there are lot of people complaining, that could be the one who can't go along with the wave.

It could, and probably most of crypto will be watch over by the government. As of now there are several countries that start to draft regulations regarding the electronic payment system run by crypto. It seems to me that government is still resisting the change but they are not saying a big no to the technology. There could be a bunch of legal researchers that are currently debating those rules and policies. But if bitcoin could be controlled by the government I think Satoshi will not be proud of it.

It sure it does. There are several experts that says that bitcoin price could exceed the all time high of 20K last year. Just wait for it to revive it self. There several reasons why price goes down, one of it is the government continuous shutdown to icos and illegal activites bitcoin brings. However, after that I am sure that the price will go skyrocket again. Just wait for the moment people will grasp the appetite to invest more in bitcoins rather than in normal stocks.

You are telling bitcoin is "highest of them all". But you are asking the easier to obtain? Do you mean the highest price or the ranking of each crypto. If the ranking is your question, then my answer is it depends on your wallet. Some wallet has support to alts like ethereium, bitcoin cash, bitcoin gold, lite coin and others. If your wallet has those alts, then they could be bought almost instantly. I hold several alts, but the one thing that I like most is the eth. It just like you are holding a real alt, compare to others that is a direct fork of bitcoin.

Yes I think, you could frequently visit and see the data from coinmarketcap, that website is so useful to me. A particular alt after several weeks of lunch and listed to trading platform could increase its value more than the percentage increase of bitcoin in a given span of days. Like for example the litecoin. After being listed to coinbase, it suddenly burst up and surpasses bitcoin in price increase percentage for several days. But even though they surpass the price increase, bitcoin still dominate as the highest price for a crypto.

I think steemit is one of the community favorites. There is a lot of sites which offer a short-term job which pays you in crypto, commonly bitcoins. But If you are looking for a regular job which you need to dress-up, drive and perform the job for about eight hours or more is something more interesting. Imagine how those people in the company like coinbase applied for their jobs. I think the process is just the same as other jobs. the only difference is that you could hardly get experience to be entitled to a job.

Inflation? I think that start long before bitcoin is ever invented. Inflation happened when the price of goods is high while the value of the currency continues to decrease. That happened not just because the crypto is around, and will continue to happen even crypto become a legal tender. One thing that I think trigger those is when the government prints a lot of money that almost reached its counterpart reserve. If bitcoin become a legal tender and due to its limit, I can't see that the oversupply of bitcoin could cause inflation.

Is this a real news or a fake news? These days, an average joe can\t fully distinguish at first the difference between legit and fake. It seems, like products made in your friendly neighborhood superhero avery. Anyway, that is great news, and I hope that some company follows the steps of this giant. I think Samsung is indirectly involved in altcoins because the GPU with a Samsung brand preferred most of the miner. I think, if Samsung will produce asci, they could have beaten their neighbor.

Wow! that is a lot of work you have done there. I never thought I could see something like that on this board. And though, there should be a hardcore massive information board that post like that are the only eligible one. Due to increase in trading by those other countries, I hope that it becomes the start of new price climb. But, do those people who trade in that country are really from that country? or there could be dummy accounts or just an account named to a person but an account holder is a different person.

Is that a bank? I think that is a scammers bank or a ponzi bank. You should avoid those bank, if I am you, I will withdraw all my cash in there and transfer it to a reputable bank or much better to convert it into bitcoins. But if you are asking about the risk level, then probably investing into bitcoin is much more way riskier than a money in a bank. A bank is supposed to be much less risky, even though they bank are robbed, all your money could be returned to you. But if that happens in bitcoin wallet, I am sure, you kiss your bitcoins goodbye.

That is possible, especially for those trading platforms that have fewer members and have a huge capital. Imagine, if there a just thousand of accounts trading with an average of one bitcoin is traded, then suddenly a mysterious account has created a buy order for about a thousand of bitcoins. It could then block the price to go down or to block the price to go up. There is also some manipulation in relation to the teather, once there are a lot of teather created the price of bitcoin also goes up. Even though these activities are possible, I never thought that most of the platform did that way.

It will end up reaching the all-time high price of $20k in the third quarter then it will then surpasses it and reaches $30k by the fourth quarter this year. Bitcoin will continue to rise as the government continues to shut down illegal activities regarding the crypto and ico. By those activities, people will regain its trust in bitcoin which eventually encourage more investors and will make the purchasing power more stronger. These will push bitcoin price to its new highest level.

That is not a good news. Best thing you could do is to use VPN. It will allow you to connect to other servers in other country which did not ban bitcoin. By then you could perform your daily transactions like sending and receiving bitcoins. You could even took it as an advantage to some trading platform that is not supported in other county aside from the united states. Or if you are into mining, better move your rig to bhutan or india. I think those country don't have strict restriction in cryptos.

I like your term "correction". That is exactly what this all about, the current price is in correction state, meaning it is seeking for the lowest and highest price it could possibly go thru. This process could still be pointing to the south most of the time but it could also lead to a frequent price jumps. Correction could took weeks and months to be fully finished, but in bitcoin; correction should be finished by now. It seems that the current price will be the new norms. But there are lot of people who oppose this because, bitcoin price should keep on climbing and not stepping downwards.

In five years time, I think it is still not possible. But in 10 to 20 years in time, that could be possible. I have my trust on bitcoin but as the current technology is hunting down by the government it could took a long time to earn government endorsement and go signal. Another thing is that, the bitcoin price should be pretty much stable to be beneficial to the payer and the merchant. Imagine if you are the coffee seller and I have just bought a coffee worth five bucks then in a sudden the price goes down and you could just received three or two bucks. You will really got angry by that and could lead to bankruptcy.

Oh, my friend you are referring to "Cold Storage". It is the process you stated, storing bitcoin on a computer that generate public and private keys while it is offline. That process ensures that your offline environment could secure the keys. But your bitcoin is still floating and can't go thru your offline computer until you have connect it on the internet. I hope you get my point, I am telling you that, you still need to connect it to the internet one way or another in the future to fully transact with your bitcoins. It could be not vulnerable today but It could be in future.

That is great! Considering bitcoin as a legal tender means a lot to those who hold bitcoin in that country. But the question is, do private and public company will support that? At first, I think that would be hard for others especially in transportation or fast food. But to other services that could be helpful. But another question bother in my mind is; Do bitcoin holders ready to use their bitcoin to buy anything they want, since the bitcoin price is low at the moment. Even tough, I hope other nations follow the lead of Germany.

The best site that I have found is this forum. Before I discover this page, I usually go to our friendly neighborhood search engine Google. I then notice that most of my searches redirect me to this site, and the site have a lots of question and answers. Sometime answers are from different point of view. Then, for a while I just read and read and encourage me to create an account so that I could also participate to this forum. Since then, I notice that you just not learn from reading, you also learn from answering others questions.

So are you telling that it is time to use alts like eth? Have you sell all your bitcoin possessions? I think not?
For me I will still stick to bitcoin no matter what, I have huge hopes that bitcoin will still dominate, and actually currently dominating the crypto world. There is far more reason to stick with it rather than to abandon it. Yes, there are lots of restrictions and policies, but that will make bitcoin more acceptable to the whole world.

Nah I don't believe in it. Bitcoin will never die, just like what happen to the gold. There are lot of gold reserve which then backed by from the fiat. While bitcoin have no backed system or company, it is backed by millions of people who are connected to the internet and together stand and help each other to process the requirements needed by the blockhchain technology. But since there are more affected to the frequent price change, it can't be said that bitcoin is dying. Even there are a couple of people who hold bitcoin in the near future, still the bitcoin and its technology will use continuously.
