Even in these places it is probably already possible to use Bitcoin to make payments, as there is the possibility of using Bitcoin debit cards. If you do some research, you will realize that there are many companies offering the service for those who want to have a card, but all of them have high fees, and that's one reason I'm not yet using it.

If the individual is starting now, he/she certainly needs to know that while there is all this potential you have talked about, there is also a high degree of risk, and considering the fact that the volatility in that market is higher than in markets like the Forex market, the level of study required will certainly be greater.

It seems that only the best-known altcoins, such as Litecoin and Dogecoin, have such a symbol, but I think if other cryptocurrencies show a high level of popularity, it will be more common to see new ones popping up.

I think it is better that the price increase gradually, through a real increase in demand, not through pure manipulation. I think that by the end of the year it will be possible to see Bitcoin in the two thousand dollar range, and many experts think the same, but it is better not to have exaggerated expectations, because things are uncertain in this market.

At first I thought all sorts of gambling was pure luck. But it is probably possible to depend less on luck on this type of gambling. Another form of gambling that I could probably consider putting money into is blackjack, since I have seen cases of people who have achieved good results with this through good analysis.

Is anyone getting satisfactory results with this service? I was thinking about investing, but it seems like most cloud mining investors go through bad experiences. It seems that hashnest is the least problematic, but this increase in the difficulty of mining is something to worry about.

This is an information that may actually help someone who is trying to invest in this market, I think large investors probably have good estimates in this regard. The price is related to the number of active users in the network, and it is a result of supply and demand, so I think information like this is certainly able to help them make better predictions.

If I had to chose a way to gamble, I would probably also gamble in spots betting. And I would probably put small amounts of money into it. I think the best way to avoid worries in gambling is to avoid putting large sums of money in the match, as this is something that in addition to bringing concerns, can end up with fun.

The interesting aspect regarding this is that people who have been holding Bitcoin since 2013 have had the opportunity to see their investment be recovered, or partially recovered, in the case of people who bought above $ 1100 in 2013. I think the secret is to have patience and discipline, because Bitcoin is a technology that is just beginning to gain ground.

Usually this happens unexpectedly, and I do not know ways to know for sure whether this is going to happen or not, but I know some ways that can increase the chances of predicting such events. One of these ways is to be attentive to the news that involves Bitcoin's participation in the politics and economy of countries, especially third world countries, where Bitcoin has a chance to make big changes.

Another way is to be attentive to proposals that seek to contribute to the development of the Bitcoin network and make the network more stable. For example, if SegWit support increases, I think the market would act positively on this event.

In the place where I live also there are still no such possibilities. To use Bitcoin I still need to convert this to fiat. Another solution would be to use Bitcoin debit cards, but I think the rates are a bit high for this, I would like to see the competition increase for companies to lower these rates. But I'm not in a hurry to use Bitcoin, as hold Bitcoin can be a safe way to store value until such services are available.

I also think that this type of game can improve the odds, but I do not think the changes will be very significant, since the risks in gambling always continue higher than normal. I think I would prefer to save my money to invest in something else, but I think it might be a good experience to give it a try.

I did not know that Vitalik would invest in Qtum, this in fact has the potential to attract more investors and improve the way other people see the project. But what are the reasons why you believe that Ethereum will not switch to PoS?

That's what really can maintain the value and stability of the currency. But even with a small number of places adopting it, Bitcoin can still have its value recognized by people, and I think this is due to the fact that Bitcoin's value does not depend only on micropayments, but on properties that allow people store value with it.

With regard to the speed of transactions, I think banking systems still have advantages. This is because banks operate centrally, but when centralization points are eliminated, it becomes difficult to maintain certain properties, such as faster transactions. However, I think things will be much better with improvements like Lightning Network.

Sometimes I try to understand the logic behind the price changes. Many of the variations are quite difficult to predict, and sometimes it is difficult to find the causes for such events, in fact sometimes things do not seem to make sense. The price depends quite a lot on adoption, but I also think part of the price changes occur due to interference from large Bitcoin holders, I think most of them are Chinese speculators.

This is sad to know. I hoped that this algorithm would still give gpu miners a chance. I saw several Litecoin mining rigs on the internet, and most of them used gpus. They're probably pictures of when it was still worth mining with it.
Luckily there are many altcoins that can still be profitable, but this will probably be worth it only for people with low electricity costs.

It could be worse. I think the number of reports of people who have lost money is not higher because there are still few people who use Bitcoin for this purpose. Most users prefer to put money into other activities such as trading. I think that when Bitcoin reaches more users, there will surely be more people complaining that they have lost money on it. However, we can not blame the gambling services, since users are generally aware of the risks before putting money into it.

There are people who register on exchanges without providing true personal information, and many users use anonymous emails. There is also the possibility of using vpn, so that the exchange does not have your IP address.
I think the problem would be at the moment of converting the coins to fiat currency, and then making the withdrawal. However, I've heard that there are already services for anonymous Bitcoin debit cards.

Actually, there are already banks taking this initiative. You'll see some examples in previous posts. I think that banks can not ignore Bitcoin's success for a long time, and those who will have competitive advantage are banks who plan first and develop the first projects related to the integration of Bitcoin to their platforms.
