The most important key message  
You will never win if you stick to the same project, you will see your money grow for a short period then you will panic when the market crashes and you will end selling cheap.

I doubt lightning network solely is responsible for the actual price rise, in my opinion it is related to many parameters. The first one is ETF approval, the second one is rich people are more and more interested in joining Bitcoin.

Bitcoin could be a relatively safe place to put and easily manage and move your money inside and outside the country without any external control. Trade war will have bad consequences on the goods price and with the devaluation of local money like it happened in China, life will get more expensive which could be counterbalanced by the rise of the bitcoin price comparing to USD.

I would prefer if you attached an article link. In my opinion,we cannot compare silver and Bitcoin that way. Silver is something material that is used in many things as you stated. Bitcoin is a virtual money if we can describe it that way. I don't see competition between the two, maybe Gold vs Bitcoin could be more interesting to compare but definitely not a relatively less valuable material vs Bitcoin.

We in bitcointalk have always warned people about cloud mining starting from the shady projects that will be likely a scam to the trusted ones with no profitability
They will figure out something to avoid being in court.. They will create an ICO, or Hashflarre token.

Stable coin is a good and healthy concept for the investors and exchanges must have it to guarantee a flawless trading experience. USDT is the most used stable coin but not the most trustable one for sure. IBM's idea is good and many will support and use its coin, who don't trust such a big company?

It is like a retailer store. They can accept whatever they want and in this case payment processing firms is facilitating everything for them.
Coppay or BitPay are doing the job and stores are getting paid in fiat. Win - win

Every industry has to trash something in the fabrication process to obtain its final products. Those wastes go to the sea, to the river, to the air... The heat issued by the mining process is nothing compared to the oil or coil extraction.

Interesting and it is confortable to see some richards investing in cryptocurrencies especially the Rothschilds who control the banking system and who invest in cryptocurrencies. Since they don't want to lose their money and want to keep their fortune growing then they will not harm crypto but they will try to make it grow.

Bitmain is not only expanding its work to North America but also it try to prevent any loss that could be done to its capital in case Chinese government decided to ban everything related to mining and cryptocurrency in general.

Few years ago MasterCard has prohibited Bitcoin deposits in Neteller to be used directly by their cards and hence i stopped using Neteller. Now they are considering it...hypocrites.

I used to save my private keys and seeds in a paper inside a pencil case where I put my money. My family are aware of it but no one dare touching it at least when I am still alive, I appreciate the idea of creating some instructions.

The best option to keep the price stable or to make it increases is definitely by burning the unsold tokens.
Another possibility is to sold that amount progressively or to create some challenges with unsold tokens as a reward, in that manner, the price will remain quite stable.

Hi ethan_nx, I am aware there isn't an empty spot for legendary for the moment so I don't mind joining YOLOdice under full member or senior member spot with full/senior payment rate too while wearing a legendary signature until an empty upper level spot is available.

Nice choice of timing though. In 2020 the bitcoin halving will take place and Bitcoin price is expected to increase maybe few weeks or months after it will happens so if there will be not a big recovery in that time then i may also consider selling a part of my BTC instead of holding 

And that's why cryptocurrencies is simply part of the real world. You can start with few dollars and end with millions of dollars then you can grow it further or lost it all in gambling or by a hacked exchange which sometimes end to be a cheating process.

You mean convert it when the price starts dropping and not when it is low because then it is a pure loss
Buy low and sell high, this is the key for success

Bitcoin price will increase again but after a long time of consolidation but steadily in my opinion and not like the previous year when the price bubbled fast

This is not very accurate for every altcoin. Most of it move with the bitcoin price but some of it just took the opposite direction. I remember seeing sometimes ethereum and ADA prices increase while Bitcoin drops.

This is partially correct. Being in front of your laptop or your screen for hours isn't recommended for your eyes nor your brain
