Personally my daily spendings is obtained from fiat exchanged from my earned bitcoin, since  I started earning crypto I have been having stable income all my financial inadequacies has been catered for and majority of my income is obtained from offering services in this forum  which has enable me to buy stuffs like phones, clothes and  pay  my bills etc which is even more than  my daily job salary.

It is always good to share your wallet password, private key to a close confidant like your TRUSTED wife or kid by doing so there won't be any cases of lost bitcoin if such a person dies, it is very obvious there are a lot users who kept all their bitcoin details in secrecy this is absolutely uncalled for because those coins will be held  unclaim and wasted in the network.

Crypto has given hope to the hopeless, crypto is the future bank and has given us alternative to saving our money in banks, crypto has made impossible to be possible, I never belief that I will ever have the opportunity to earn online but crypto has make it realistic even earning more than my daily job, crypto has helped us to create many jobs for the unemployed and had made many millionaires as for me I continue to love crypto because it is turning around my fortune.

Bitcoin is also going down it is presently at $13K+ having pull back from the highest high of $16K this is almost 50% correction I think other cryptocoins are also down due to market forces too I believe this is the right time to buy because it is very obvious investors will pump in funds in days ahead and the price will rise up again.

I believed it is high time programmers should look into blockchain technology with a view of tracking or tracing those stolen bitcoin by hackers, this will go a long way in completely discouraging or eliminating the stealing of coins, it is very obvious that an insider must be linked to the stolen $62 million of NiceHash this increasing daily cases of stolen bitcoin will also discourage potential investors and could mar the future of bitcoin.

Untraceable stolen bitcoin is one of biggest treat in blockchain technology, I hope programmers should look into cryptography in blockchain technology and device a formulae to block or blacklist those proven stolen bitcoin transactions because there has been  cases of hacked accounts which is a major setback in cryptocurrencies world.

Try and research for profitable cryptocurrencies  strategies through google and YouTube whichever one you adopted practice thoroughly by demoing (practicing using a virtual currency) with time you will be consistent with it so as to know when to sell or buy because trading is not just to sell and buy there is much attached to it.

To avoid phishing sites it is always advisable not to visit your favourites through other links rather than the bookmarked, recently this phishing forum similar to this forum was detected
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2270578.520  and it could very difficult to differentiate that forum with bitcointalk.org for an unsuspecting members someone must have already entered his or her username and password to this phishing site before realising that it is fake.

The evolution of bitcoin has become a major threat to many national currencies just as you rightly said, but be as it may it will become very difficult for any government to restrict the usage of this virtual currency because of it's feature of anonymity and decentralized nature.
In the comfort of my room bitcoin had made it possible to transacts business without any government or banking inference in view of this I can rightly said bitcoin has a brighter future.

The numbers of people using bitcoin had increased tremendously in recent times resulting in the surge of the price and moreso the rising price is likened to speculation rather than it's fundamentals after all there is no upcoming hardfork although the bubble had halted and presently falling back (correction).

Bitcoin pullback popularly known as correction had started having reached a highest high of +$16000 you better hold it because bitcoin always  pullback to 20% to 30% of it highest high before continuing the uptrend movement please relax and wait there is better days ahead.

I don't believed correction to 50% is realistic because the movement of the price bitcoin always defies technical analysis unlike forex trading.
In spot trading  technical tools like Fibonacci analysis, Gann analysis which can accurately predict 50% price retracement may not work in cryptocurrencies.

The amount of bitcoin or money you started trading does not matter, what matter most is to trade and make profit consistently although you may incur some few losses but with a good money management you will be able to grow your capital and become a better trader.

This shows that decentralization has been adopted by the two IT giants and there is the tendency of other firms to follow suit invariably popularizing cryptocurrencies globally and many investors will participate in their upcoming ICOs and this going to boasts the cryptocurrencies market.

There is no cause for alarm as regards to the price of bitcoin,  in recent times it has been strongly bullish movement, pullback or correction then upward movement again, recalled during Chinese government clamped down on exchanges the price went dip  and recovered and obviously the price is very predictive and hopefully the bullish sentiment will continue after this present price corrections.

Complexity in the  working and operation of cryptocurrencies had really made it difficult to explain to people  and understanding it.
Personally it took me some time before I could be able to understand and digest every details in cryptocurrencies system, particularly bitcoin how to create a wallet, transactions, conversion of bitcoin to fiat e.t.c.
I had been trying every possible means to teach and educate people on how to use bitcoin and the responses was encouraging while some don't understand it because they are not interested.

Thank you for bringing to the notice of unsuspecting members of bitcointalk.org forum many members must have fallen victim of this phishing site and their password stolen when  I checked that forum it is almost tempting me to use my login details but I wisely closed it down completely.

Another major breakthrough for bitcoin as US regulator approves bitcoin trading I believed this is another landmark for bitcoin towards achieving more global recognition and possibly pushing up the price in days ahead.

Bitcoin is  indeed a saviour not only in those aforementioned countries in Africa countries like Nigeria, South Africa where bitcoin is used as an alternative means of payment for transactions due to it's decentralized feature and it is not compulsory necessary to buy btc, services  such as programming, graphic designs e.t.c can be offered online and paid with btc which has equally become saviour in countries with high rate of unemployment.
