I also have an account with steemit, you have to write and post good articles to make reasonable amount of money and you must also upvote while you will upvoted too, it is difficult to earn steem in that site unlike bitcointalk where there is so many ways of earning bitcoin.

The tendency that bitcoin is used to perpetuate crime is very obvious, even before bitcoin western union money transfer was fraudulently used to transfer cash by terrorist, money laundering is commonly used to send cash to criminals and it is likely  that bitcoin  is also used to transfer cash but in the point of exchanging to fiat if it is a huge amount of money the recipient may be questioned to get the source of the money by security agents

Some people wants to cut corners to become rich quickly that is why they indulge in fraudulent activities like scamming, although some of the reasons of there success in scamming is because some people are gullible and are easy prey to this scammers, people don't want to investigate the sources of want they want to buy online in as much as it very cheap they will victim to scammers by paying into their hands.

Bitcoin had been making impart on the economy of countries that had adopted it, this had made it possible to send or receive bitcoin unanimously without any interference from any bank.
Bitcoin is adopted daily in some countries thereby increasing the numbers of user globally.

Well it is often said always trade with the amount of money you can afford to lose, if it is just 10% of your total investment then there is nothing to fear but investing your total fund in trading and the trade was not doing well or  going against you definitely emotions will set-in.

My idea to invest bitcoin is in agricultural production, in my country the rate of consumption of poultry eggs has risen such that demand had exceeded supply, I am planning to save my bitcoin with the belief that the price will continue to rise, because investing in poultry is capital intensive but in a long run it will a very profitable business.

Bitcoin has continued to wax stronger despite all the hurdles occasioned by the clamping down of exchanges by the Chinese government.
Recalled china with a substantial holders of bitcoin cannot stop bitcoin, the end of bitcoin is not at sight now because more countries had adopted it. If countries like Russia, USA, France e.t.c has officially recognized bitcoin I do not see it end now.

Going by the recent surge in the price of bitcoin means bitcoin has a brighter future which serves as an investment by holding it. The tendency of the price reaching $1000  in few years ahead is very realistic and when price reaches such peak I think that is right time to exchange to fiatvand invest

I will, of course, update my signature if accepted

It is better you retain your job, bounties seem attractive but it depends on the success of the ICOs considering the fact that you have many ICOs pre-sale, and the end of the ICO the tokens distributed are usually not worth the effort put in place by the participants.
My advice is to participate in bounties as well as doing your Job this involves your time management.

Your reasons for hating bitcoin is not genuine, there are countless number of people who are already millionaires thanks to bitcoin, some few years ago when bitcoin was not popular those people took a risk bought bitcoin and hold and price skyrocketed yielded high returns for there investment, if you are also an investor then, you wouldn't have hate bitcoin.

Thank you for bringing this to the notice of the forum, so as to  read other people views about this bounty stuff.
I have participated in countless numbers of bounties Facebook, twitter, reddit upvoting e.t.c I was never paid I check my myethereum wallet on daily basis nothing to show for my participations I think it is high time moderators start regulating bounty threads to fish out scammers.

Earning bitcoin is not all about luck you just have to work to earn, there is no free money anywhere, probably you might have been engaged in gambling and other unproductive services to earn bitcoin.
Sit down and learn how to trade cryptocurrencies and also participate in signature campaigns in this forum this are two ways possible ways to earn bitcoin.

I was scanning  through a web page containing pre and after sales of ICOs I was overwhelmed with the numbers of ICOs in the market, which makes it difficult to know which one will be investment friendly, I think there should be a regulatory body to monitor all these ICOs to avoid scams.

As far this forum is consigned there is no signature campaign that pays with ethereum,  even professional services offered online are paid with bitcoin, as a trader buying of ethereum and holding it is very profitable, also mining ethereum is another means of earning this coin although mining is very capital intensive.

The chances or possibility of price reduction of bitcoin is very slim, going by the annual increments of the price, although the price is very unstable but judging by the price movement it always pull back minimally before pushing upward again, this has prompted speculations about the price hitting $10,000 in few years to come.

The slow pace of development in Africa is hindering it's technological advancement which invariably causes loss of opportunities in term of income.
There is presently so many bitcoin online paying Jobs opportunities that has eluded Africans due to some challenges facing them like unavailability of electricity and Internet.
To overcome this challenges the government should put in place all the necessary infrastructures so as to meet with other advanced continents.

Sorry for the loss, you should have avoided holding such a huge amount of coin in online exchanges, this days those exchanges are prone to hackers, maybe an insider with coinbase connived with an hacker to perpetuate the hacking of your account, because I am very sure you must secured your account perfectly.
