Deflation in fiat money makes more people save money instead of investing. Why should millionaire invest money in any business, when value of his money is growing for nothing? It causes worse economics in country when no one is investing, and when we go further, prices will go up instead of falling long term in deflation what will make more people poor. Very low inflation is also very good for any country. It's about money used everyday and about masses.

But when we talk about value holder, like gold or btc (this is how I treat btc at this moment with this price and those fees, value holder) deflation is good because everyone wants to buy and no one wants to sell, there is no way to create it and it makes price to rise. So inflation can be bad or good, same deflation, depends on currency we use and the way we treat it, spendable money or value holders.

Even with the great power that the government of the US holds, the American public is very sensitive to any kind of ban, they are going to wonder why the government is banning something that cannot be bad for your health the same way drags can, they are going to use to excuse of crime, but this runs the possibility to provoke the Streisand effect, the more you ban something the more people want to see it.

That is exactly what fiat does right? The biggest difference is that the rate at which bitcoin is creating new money is slowing down, and it will eventually reach zero and no new coins are ever going to be created, but this is not the case with fiat, fiat generation is only going up as time goes on we only need to have a look at the US dollar supply to understand that.

What are the reasons to think so? I saw people writing that tether is not used as much as it seems to be used or something like that, but is not this coin the safest one among cryptocurrencies, since it is regulated and backed up by dollar? I guess this coin can't make one earn profit as well as lose anything. It is just kind of an electronic version of dollar which works like a cryptocurrency. I can understand why people hate it ideologically, but I don't see it possessing any real threat.

This is definitely the answer to this situation. In any aspect that involves power over something, those who are considering themselves as the rulers will most definitely eliminate the threats to stay at the top just like in politics, business, etc. They will manipulate everything for their own benefits and it has been happening even before btc came so there's really no surprise that those banksters are doing their best to destroy btc's credibility. Good thing there's still plenty of people who see the truth out of all the lies the detractors have spread.

The historical roots of corruption, probably probably hike back to the custom to make gifts to gain favor. Expensive gift isolated person apart from other applicants and contributed to the fact that his request was fulfilled. Therefore, in primitive societies a fee to the priest or leader was the norm. As the complexity of the state apparatus and strengthen the authority of the Central government, there were professional officials who, by design of the rulers, had to settle for a fixed salary. In practice, officials sought to use his position to secret of increasing their income.

The first ruler, on which remained the reference as the fighter against corruption, was Urukagina — Sumerian king of the city-state of Lagash in the second half of the XXIV century BC Despite the significant and often severe punishment for corruption, it did not lead to the desired results. At best, he was able to prevent most dangerous crimes, however, at the level of small bribes embezzlement and corruption were widespread. The first treatise with a discussion of corruption — "Arthasastra" — published under the pseudonym Kautilya one of the Ministers of Bharat (India) in the IV century BC In it, he made a pessimistic conclusion that "property of the king cannot be, at least in manner, has charge of this property."

1. Will other Alt coins <like Bitcoin Cash> also add SegWit and the Lightning Network, levelling the playing field once again?

2. Will PayPal and Banks develop their own Blockchain technology with Lightning Network or just buy their way out of trouble, like they did with Ripple?

3. Will Governments come down even harder on Bitcoin, if Bitcoin becomes more mainstream?

4. Will the traditionalists abandon Bitcoin and support other Crypto currencies where Block size upgrades are still used? <Following the supposed Satoshi vision?> Will those Alt coins still be able to compete and eventually survive?

maybe I'm not right but in my surround, the one who "work hard for financial stimul"are not the builders of society.
 They to much cycled on their personal(family) needs, but the one who know, why, and what for they are doing what they are doing, and can be free out of financial stimul,they are much more active...and yea many of them are social activists or have social oriented business.

Bitcoin holds more than 51% share in cryptocurrency market. If we see popularity of bitcoin in last five years it may affect the economy of any country. Bitcoin`s rising price attracting more and more investors all over the world. These investors are pulling money from their traditional investments and investing it in bitcoin currency. Similarly they stopped using fiat currency in their day to day life. As a result circulation of fiat currency get disturbed so as the economy. As a result Indonesia and other countries banned bitcoin currency completely from their economy by giving security and stability reasons. In future many more countries can ban or regulate bitcoin currency.
