You can't compare bitcoin with ethereum because bitcoin was the original and first to market so it will always be king. There are many scams these days so having a founder that is known to the public will increase confidence in the project.

This is not the correct way to voice your opposition to Trump. There is the trumpcoin and rather than copy the abbreviation of feathercoin you should make something more media friendly like anti trump coin. Not that it will succeed, but better than the current  f t c proposal

He should be sued for a shed load of bitcoin cash and see if he still tries to shill it. The same would happen if i created a new phone called iphonne that was identical to the iphone, and redirected all the apple drones to the iphonne site. This is wrong and ver should be penalised for tricking newbies

The first thing you need to do is post more on this forum as there are not many good signature campaigns that allow newbies to join, and if they do then the rewards are very small. When you get to Jr Member then there are a lot more opportunities. Just keep posting and you will get there

I guess this is more like a voucher than actual bank notes as they can only be used once unless you re-credit it with more bitcoin. Good for newbies but it should come with instructions on the back otherwise people may try to hand them to a cashier as it is who can then rip them off

USB stick with hardware encryption. Doesn't have to be military grade so the cheaper ones are sufficient, unless you have a sticker on it saying bitcoin keys! If by chance it get's found someone will simply format it for re-use rather than try to hack it.

One way of publishing this type of content is to use deepvault by deeponion. Virtually free to do and the information is forever embedded into the blockchain. The other benefit is that is uses technology that can bypass the great firewall of china so everyone can use it https://steemit.com/deeponion/@soldier100/deepvault-a-deep-onion-innovation-first-in-the-industry

My guess is either an exchange or a very early adopter. Lets just hope that the owner of this wallet doesn't do a mt gox and dump it all on the exchanges. This would create another bear market and we're just recovering from one

There is one thing that is missing in your assumption (OP) which is brand awareness. For those outside of crypto they will only know bitcoin and won't bother to learn about all the benefits of ethereum, litecoin, etc.. They will stick to what everyone else is using and that will be bitcoin (original, not cash)

I don't think it would have much of an impact as the big players will simply move their operations abroad to countries with a lower cost of energy and loose regulations. Some are even considering renewable fuel as a form of energy (like soycoin), only issue is that China will lose out from the bitcoin boom

I read a different prediction that there will be an influx of retail investors but that most cryptos will crash to the floor with the exception of the high market cap coins like bitcoin and ethereum. The others will be left to burn as interest dies and investors move onto to other projects.

Once you get into it then it is not so bad. However, the first part can be daunting - especially when you first log into the exchange and see all those charts and numbers. Not easy to use for a newbie, so there are other ways of purchasing like coinbase which is simple but costs more.

You forgot to add the problems with transaction times. Bitcoincash has solved this problem, but it is confusing to have 2 currencies with the same name doing the same thing. If bitcoin becomes lightning fast then it can be accepted as a form of payment in stores as well.

At the moment it is stabilising at around $9000 and most institutional investors believe that this is the new floor. Throughout may it will remain bullish and break the $10,000 barrier which will push it back up to the all time high.

Not just the fact that 4 million are left to mine, but many are lost due to non-believers at the early stages being careless with their coins. Also, satoshi has 1 million bitcoins locked up in his wallet - unlikely that those will ever move

It is the start of a new trend, in future people will not carry too much change around so they will use a QR code and donate in bitcoin instead. Sales for street items can also be bought in bitcoin, but it requires standing around while waiting for the confirmations

You have to do a lot of research and find some good altcoins that will rise up faster than bitcoin. Look at the low market cap coins, especially the privacy ones, they have more potential to rise up more than the already pumped ones

I will sell before that and i'm sure others will as well. It is difficult to predict when it will hit $100,000, could be next year or many years after that. I think it will hit $30k this year and maybe 50k next year. Who knows what will happen in 2020!

I doubt the United States will ever legalise bitcoin as it poses a threat to the dollar as the global currency. However, if by some miracle that did happen, then yes other countries will follow America like they always do. It will be another way to trade with a large economy

SONM is definitely a good investment as you can earn extra tokens by sharing resources on a spare computer. It is impossible to mine bitcoins now so just rent out some free resources instead. Product will be released this year so getting in just before will give good gains.
