Why Linux or Windows?

Mac is a perfectly good option.

Looking forward to seeing your translation.  Make sure you have downloaded the ZIP file.

Electrum is a good wallet.  It provides cold-storage and it is light.  It's open source and it has been around for several years.

I'm not convinced that a rogue employee at the manufacturer of a hardware wallet cannot put in nefarious code into the firmware.

Yes, it is definitely MUCH BETTER if the project already has some working software.  That is even better than having code in Github.

Very few ICOs have working software.  Most of them have simply put together a nice looking website.

If you can buy the coin, it's better because you'll avoid the fees of the trust.

For many, it's a hassle to open an account with an exchange, go through KYC/AML again, set up a wallet or cold-storage.

With a trust, they can quickly trade it from their stock trading account.

I have both kinds of friends:  Those who are very bullish believers and those who will never buy it.  The latter thinks that the U.S. government is going to stamp it out or the NSA is going to hack it.

Can you copy and paste the quote from your link to the Congress site?

I glanced through it and I don't see where it says that.

People are trying to put anything and everything on a blockchain, including the kitchen sink.

Many times, they don't make sense or they're trying to squeeze a square block into a round hole.

Yes, there are still ICOs that accept non-Ether.  But if the ICO is selling ERC-20 (Ethereum-based) tokens, then you'll need an Ethereum address anyway.

Avoid token sales like ours.  We will be accepting only Ethers.

Good to see that bitcoin is growing in popularity in Canada.  We are based in Canada.

It depends on if Bitcoin solves its scalability issue.  If it does, it will rally much higher.  If not, it can potentially be taken over by another coin.

If EOS can come through with what they claim, then it will be one of the most valuable coins.

However, their claim is lofty and they did not explain how they will be able to pull it off.

Should have bought more before August 1st.

"Should have" are the two most commonly used words by investors.

As governments' spending continue to go up, their debts will continue to go up.

As governments' debts continue to go up, their taxes will continue to go up.

As governments' taxes continue to go up, cash payments will continue to go up.

As cash payments continue to go up, government crackdown will continue to go up.

As government crackdown continue to go up, crypto buyers will continue to go up.

We have, sort of.  Not into Bitcoin, but into our own currency.

Gold usually goes up in a crisis.

Bitcoin is mainly a store of value and competes against gold.  So it will likely go up in a crisis.

Passing a law to ban something is very different than enforcing the law.

Speeding on the highway is banned.  Government enforces this among 1% of the drivers or less.

Bitcoin isn't much of a currency (yet), because very few people use it to buy stuff.

It's mainly a store of value and competes mainly against gold.

Among all of the cryptos, Bitcoin is the most secure because it has the biggest network and the most number of nodes securing the transactions.  After 8 years, it has been attacked the most and survived.

Other than that, most other cryptos are superior to Bitcoin in other aspects.

With many teenagers, it shouldn't be hard to explain.

Many of them already play games that have virtual goods or native digital currencies.  Think of Zynga's Poker, which is played by tens of millions of people on Facebook.  It has a currency used only by that poker game, but only by players in the game.  Tell the teenager that the main difference is that Bitcoin can be used outside of any game and by anyone.
