"They don't affect the price of the coin"? Oh yes they do. Don't over estimate the power of that 1%-2% of those tokens allocated to bounty hunters.
This is the main reason why many developers lock the coins for a certain time to prevent it from going so down to a point of not recovering.
I'm not saying that bounty hunters are 100% the cause of dumping some ICO when listed but they some how contributed to it.

Exactly my thought too... But if you tell them this,  they feel you don't want them to earn too. Trading may not be easy at times and sometime it's the noobs that are starting out new, are the ones sometimes dragging the price of Bitcoin down.
Its okay too trade if they want to,  but it's best they stay back and learn how it works first instead of jumping into it just to make money.

Following news trend will not be that hundred percent helpful cause they can also increase or cause FUD; sometimes their information may not authentic.
Personal observation is just the best way to go though,  even if you intend to follow up on media news, try doing a personal research to know how genuine it is. So you don't get to regret your actions.

You don't compare Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency to stock,  they are two different things even though their model may look a bit similar.
Moreover, it is possible for Bitcoin to stabilize when it hit a particular price and it may not be an influence of mass adoption. Things like regulation can also affect it towards that direction.

This year seems like the year though,  Bitcoin is likely to increase so much in price this year probably in the middle or ending period.
But do not 'fully' depend on this cause the market can be so unpredictable.
Moreover when the price start increasing, it won't just jump to $20k which many of us are expecting, it will take a stable process which is healthy for the market.

A future whereby Bitcoin and fiat fully cooperate and fully supported by the the government and the bank is possible. 
In the future it is highly  possible for Bitcoin to fully circulate and freely been used as a payment system as it was created for,  but that is only what it can be. Bitcoin can never stop fiat usage or create a cashless society. A cashless society is nearly an impossible one.

I guess it's because of the price, maybe those who didn't have the opportunity to buy when the price was some what higher last year November and above. People especially day traders to good at taking opportunity when the see one.
And again, with the way the price is going it may hit $4k+, nobody wants to miss out.

OP,  is there anywhere Samsung made a public announcement that they will include Bitcoin and Blockchain in their product? 'You heard a rumour' glad you called it a rumor. You guys shouldn't let stories like this get you.
Just because Bitcoin symbol was added on Google keyword on iOS does not means that Samsung should follow their lead.
Whether they include it or not, Bitcoin will reach it highest level.

I don't think mining performed lowly last year, I believe alot of people mined last year cause the price of Bitcoin was kind of high then. So they could probably gain more.
This year though, I think mining will reduce cause the price of Bitcoin is cheaper compared to last year.
Most miner will purchase more Bitcoin than mine it this year and hold them to resell when it price pumps again.

'One can't swap it to back to BTC directly and also can't acquire it directly from BTC'  I personally feel skeptical about this.
I guess the developers want to be outstanding by creating something unique from the Ethereum network, who knows it might be the evolution of crypto 2.0.
We just have to sit back and see how many crypto enthusiast will respond to it been that it was just developed recently on the month January and coupled with it been a stable coin. Many loves to experiment, getting a few to see how it will respond in a long run won't be bad though.

According to you, truly believer don't care the price? Well lies. Well,  if you told me this before when Bitcoin started out and cost quite a little, I do probably believe you.  
But lately everyone or 90% of Bitcoin investors or hodlers actually care about the price and it mostly started when the price hit $600-$1000 which many people actually didn't believe it will do.

$800 is way to unrealistic for now, it stopping point is $3000 from the way I see it. But even if it lowered to that price of $800; does it really matter?
The price of Bitcoin will be unbeatable in the future so gladly accept any price you see now, it future will be remarkable.

It's is not limited to either window or Android. It can happen in any operating system or platform. The main issue here is that the OP can't get his money back.
Though, aside from the malware, it's either OP manually typed the address and mistakenly inserted a wrong number or letter which changed the address.
Or, he opened a Bitcoin wallet from a phishing site which automatically changed his wallet address when sending the BTC.

Exactly! Seriously, the market is quite saturated and mostly new products and services entering the market are repetitions of what has been provided before.
And to say that what the OP wants to market is an exchange makes it lagging. There are many exchanges in the market now, not that there is something wrong with it but if the emerging ones can be 'outstanding' and provide the service that has not been provided before then it will be perfect.

Even without carrying out a poll, with the way some developers are backing out,  you should be able to understand that ICOs are not like the way it was before.
Many people funds are tied up in ICOs project that seems promising yet failed them, some project have even failed to reach ICO price.
As for me,  it's best to buy top listed  altcoins that has potential.

You didn't add the most controversial personnel;  McAfee. Anyway, I think it doesn't matter on which side you are on. For me,  I feel one can be in both side cause you can profit from the both of you want to, whenever they do their thing.
It's just a matter of knowing when to buy more and sell to re-buy.

You know quite well that you don't need huge funds before you can start purchasing Bitcoin, right? Now that the price is cheap,  this is the opportunity to seize the opportunity to buy the little that you can afford and it will surely make a huge difference in the future when the price increases.

I will advise you to be quite careful of some projects that have private sale. Though some may be true of actually conducting this sales but many are just lies. Because ICO investment is not like they way it was few years ago,  many investors are skeptical of putting in their money into it and ICOs developers use imaginary 'private sales' that never happened to attract other investors like you who are willing to put their money into their project.

Getting information from one observation and monitoring the market; that's a good point you made there.  And at least they also get to learn too because this days,  the media don't make proper research.
And another thing, we keep on saying the market is in a correction stage. I personally feel the market is done correcting and is just in gradually recovering.

Understandable, but OP,  not all altcoins are shitcoins. We never can tell what might happen in the nearest future. There is still a possibility of Bitcoin to get beaten as the 'most used or invested' coin but not as the 'first coin' cause it will still remain as that.
 A new coin might emerge or it may even be among the listed altcoins that we have. And many people might be selling altcoins or shitcoins because they probably got them through airdrop or don't want to touch their Bitcoin so they experiment with them.
