I heard people said that Bitcoin's profit is higher than profit of drug dealer, weapon dealers or profit of real property or any kind of stocks. Is that real ?
It depends on how one will invest into bitcoin and how they will manage their investment. If one will invest a tremendous amount of money on crypto and they manage it well, then they will surely profit a lot but if one won't manage it well, he/she will just lose a lot of money. One also cannot earn big.profits when they have only invested a little of their portfolio. A person will also need some skills on trading in order to profit greatly here in cryptoworld.

1) Is bitcoin price already manipulated to some extent?
Price of bitcoin is already manipulated to some extent and you are right that some manipulates it via order book but they can only do it temporarily, they can't control it forever since their money supply to manipulate order book is finite. 2) Will CME product allow them to manipulate the price?
Probably. It might also allow the creator to manipulate bitcoin prices as he wish it. Even if that is the case, they would still need the support of the users for it to be effective. If people wont use it then their contract is useless.

Hey, guys. Projects raise millions of dollars in ETH. Participants of the bounty campaigns significantly help them to do this. Would it be fair if the participants will receive ETH for their work? Or 50% in ETH and 50% in tokens?
I think that bounty campaigns paying ETH directly is nice, but I think paying 50% in ETH and 50% in tokens is better. It will be convenient not only for the bounty participants but also to the developer as well. It will benefit developers since the dump that will be caused by bounty participants would be lessened and at the same time, bounty participants does not need to worry about fees when transferring to and from ETH wallet to exchange.

I agree with you this is my number 1 choice, I think it can have same success as eth one day. But do you think now price isn't that good? I think I can but a bit at least at these levels. Btw as I said I'm considering it only as long term (1-2 years at least) and expect 50$. Do you think thats possible as you seems to be experienced ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Price of stratis now is a good entry point IMO, you shouldn't consider price when it comes to determining the coin with the most potential. I remember how people said that btc price is to expensive in the past when it was still 14$, but look at it now and the same can be said with other coins with potential like stratis. Since you are considering to hodl it long term, it will be nice to enter now that it's price is not that high. Also, I think 50$ price is achievable by stratis in the future.

BCH is Mooning Right Now Any Insights About This Is It Preparing To Contend B2X ?
I don't think that it is preparing to contend B2X but rather the price rise is a normal occurrence because btc has risen a lot and it is just natural for it's brother to follow. If btc goes down again, bch will surely do the same, probably it will be followed by a dump later on. Another possible reason is that it is being manipulated by someone in order for them to profit. Still, I think BCH is better than btg which is a worse forked version of btc.

Guys can anyone give some tips on how to look for a Good signature campaign to join. As of now I don't have a sig campaign. I don't know who is the one who is worth it to join for. Can someone help me finding a good project to sign in? Thanks ^_^
The only tip I can give you is just to research about the certain ICO you wanted to join the bounty campaign. Verify the truth indicated on their announcement thread. Better yet, just join signature campaigns paying in btc for easeness. Altcoins bounty signature campaigns sometimes don't pay when they don't reach their cap while btc campaigns pay at least weekly to it's participants and has escrow unlike alt camps who does not have one. Last tip I can give you is to join the bounty campaign you decided to put our faith into.

Too many people weared CarTaxi ico's signature. Its a big problem, they waste their time ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) Thank you for sharing. I didnt invest CarTaxi, im so lucky ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I feel bad for those who weared their signature and bounty campaigns. They have posted for stakes for a long time or helped in it's advertisement and if they are scam ten they won't receive anything. They literally wastes their time I'm lucky that I also didn't consider joining their bounty campaign. If they really are scam, people need to start filling complaints about this project. I also feel bad for those who invested in it if they turned out to be a real scam.

This is the time when I wish I had a lot of fiat money right now so I can buy more altcoins. I'm new to crypto and first time experiencing the effect of forks. For those experts, Is it possible that some altcoins will not be able to recover after the fork?
Some might not recover from this but some will surely recover their former status. Therefore, they will somehow recover after all this lunacy of hardfork train is over. You just need to wait later on people will come back to alts and the one who will bleed is btc by that time probably. When the hardforks are over for sure some alts might go to the moon, some would have new all time high peaks like how btc did when it recovered from the 2013 mt. Gox dump.

Hi,
I hope everyone's day is going well. Here is the thing:
- Recently purchased a Ledger Nano S to hold ma new BTC (because I do not trust coinbase even though I should).
- When I went to move it over to my hardware, the chrome ledger app for BTC asked if I wanted to switch my blockchain to SegWit2X. It mentioned stuff like "it is safer, faster, and the fees are much lower". Naturally, it sounded like a good idea; so I switched blockchians to it instead of the original BTC blockchain.
- Looking at forums, articles, and youtube videos, I have several reservations now about doing this: will my SegWit2X coins be equivalent to original BTCs; if they are not, how will I determine their equivalence; and should I just revert my wallet's blockchain to the original BTC (b/c I am not sure if I opted into reply attack protection).
I hope these questions are not too stupid. I am still learning to sort out the crappy information from good stuff.
Respectfully, Michael
Don't worry because you have the same amount of coins from both gains because btc segwit 2X is a fork originating from the original bitcoin blockchain. They aren't the same with value though still you can revert with them anytime. All you need to have is your private key and you can interchange between them. That's why some hoarded, they have done that in order to get b2X too which is literally free money if one held btc but still like btc it has potential to go on par with original chain.

or even half of it or even 1/10 of it? ??
Probably bitcoin won't resolve the US debt after all, no government is heavily invested on it therefore they won't gain anything when btc price rises. At the same time they won't lose something when it dumps. For it to be solved by btc, they must be heavily invested onto bitcoin first or else btc can't help them. It might help them solve half of their debt maybe or 1/10th of it. At least that is better than nothing. Probably they won't even try considering to invest into bitcoin.

What kind of self-regulating system of taxation are you talking about? Lol. Politicians couldn't keep their hands out of the budget. What they do and politics? Maybe you believe that they go into politics to make the country better? They will never give control over taxes and nothing to even speak on this subject.
For that reason I am sure most of them will do anything in their power to maintain the current system the world uses after all, it is the most convenient system for them to be corrupt. If there would be a self regulating system of taxation, they wouldn't be able to do what they usually do. It will be hard to convince them to switch with this self regulating system because like you said they aren't in it to make the country better but to give themselves power and money.

When you buy bitcoins, you are already investing on it. You can earn a decent amount of profit just by holding onto it. With the price of bitcoin reaching all time high every week or so, this guarantees your profit.
You are right but just hodling bitcoin won't suffice if one is holding low amounts. Therefore, one must learn how to trade alts to profit faster in cryptoworld. The most profitable investment right now is investing onto alts IMO one just need to buy and sell st the right time. Another profitable investment if electricity in your area is cheap is altcoin mining. Just remember to mine those with low difficulty and high potential in the future.

So I am planning on putting 500 euros on Eth and Btc each(€1000 in total) to hold for long term. Is it a bad time to invest in those crypto-currencies?
I think it is still a god time.to invest in btc, but I doubt if investing ETH will be a good move. Rather than investing into ETH, I would rather if you would just invest all on bitcoin or use the 500 euros to just buy off any other altcoins with more potential for growth, better yet just keep it to yourself and just spend it starting business of your own. Still, it is your can investing in ETH is also not quite bad I think but it is not the best time.

Bitcoin has been soaring over the past few months. The argument between "is it too late to buy Bitcoin" vs "is it too early to buy Bitcoin" was debating among lots of hedge funds. Some think there will be a big price correction later at a certain point, the others think the blooming will still continue going on no matter what.
What do you think?
I think it is never too late to buy btc. Even if there will be a big price correction later on, it will just do another pump in the future that will give profit to those who will buy it. It also might continue going on no matter what like what others say. After all, adoption rate is increasing at crazy speeds. Still, I think it is wiser to just hodl for now and sell some later on rather than buying. It is the wiser move because if the expected correction happens, then we will have fiat to debut back again.

Where does everyone think bitcoin will be by the end of 2018?
I'm interested to see where everyone thinks bitcoin is headed, like value wise and how people would have adapted to it.
It is hard to predict what price it will sit on by the end of 2018. In a year many can happen so I have 2 speculation for it. If price goes upward and the trend continues as is, it will sit above 7000$ price level at least since it has been pumped a lot lately, probably there won't be much of a rise but rather there will be a dump first. Another prediction if it goes sideways is that btc will sit at price ranges below 4000$.

BTC target for november month ??
Probably btc will go way above 6500$ in the month of November if price continues to go up in the next month. If it ain't, then it will go below 5700$ by the end of November. The chance of it going down is low though but it ain't impossible. Therefore it is better to consider that there is a chance of it going down below 5700$. The chance of it going above 6500$ might happen when positive news continues for bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

So I am estimating the upcoming fork will result in a high valued coin b2x. Even more interesting for us bitcoinholders! (futures at around 1300$) But how will be the chances this new coin can overtake the orginal chain and coin in terms of value ? Any ideas?
Probably it has a chance to overtake the original chain if it does very well on it's launch but for now it is very unlikely because it has more flaws on it's code when compared to original chain of btc. For sure it will solve the current problems we see now in chain but will it bring new problems or not? That's what we'll find out after the fork. Still the chance of this coin going on par with the current chain is higher than any of the altcoins out there.

Hello I would like to know the benefits of bitcoin by being deregulated.
The main benefit of bitcoin being decentralized is that there is no entity in the world that controls it, while banks and fiat are centralized where the ones who control it can chest the system.. No one can just make bitcoin out of nothing without mining it while fiat can be inflated by printing out more money that adds to supply. Somehow bitcoins value that it has now is it's real value and reflects the real demand for it because no one controls it. On the other hand fiat's value is just determined by higher ups.

So are you think time now is too late or some one in future will say how price was cheap in 2017 like my post Shear what you think ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) It is probably not too late to get rich with bitcoin. I am sure that in the future, someone would have had wished to buy bitcoin in this time if it were to go mainstream. Even if it ain't, I am sure some people will look back at this point of time when adoption is still growing massively. It will happen when bitcoin reaches the point that it became the digital gold itself, being another asset to store value into and with volatility lessened.

Strangely I do think that Bitcoin is really the future medium where we will store our asset, more like the digital gold of the world. Because Bitcoin is not a physical asset which means Bitcoin is physically impossible to destroy, or to be stolen. The practicality also comes in mind.
I agree with you that bitcoin is the future medium where we will store our assets, but always remember than bitcoin, albeit physically impossible to be destroyed, can be stolen using some means. All system have their flaws, including bitcoin therefor,e there will always be a loophole that will let one steal bitcoin even if it is hard to do. Still, I believe that gold will also continue to be a reserve currency even if bitcoin becomes one.
