people's opinions are different.
I will predict this year bitcoin will reach $ 30k at the end of the year.
because right now I see bitcoin already recovering so $ 30k is worth the price for this year.

Yeah its good and the biggest benefit that I get is to be able to learn to invest and develop the business there also I got a useful lesson for the future. And in the previous year there was a lesson to be patient, and it turns out the key to success is patience. Try this year maybe I will get more useful knowledge and developed in bitcoin.

in order to spread awareness of bitcoin you don't need to make it into an academic thesis. what you need to do is to educate people and teach them about bitcoin.
a thesis is when you want to study bitcoin at academic level. for example there are some of them already made. i think one of them was actually on the spam attack against bitcoin and how it affected things in 2015.

It feels so great to hold bitcoin, mostly because I know exactly what I hold & how much of it actually exists. It's being regulated almost everywhere (and it should be, taxes should be paid!) already and almost banned no-where. Asset, saving, currency, banking, it's everything!

Yeah. It can be manipulate by the owner of some applications. But my opinion really is why can bitcoin manipulate by someone. Its a digital currency by a system who made by satoshi. It is a program that its automatic will fall or rise the amount. But i observed is the other applications that can convert into peso is not the same with real bitcoins.

it certainly gan because I do not want to bother with the news that makes me and the bitcoiners spirit to be down after reading or hear the news.
the most important thing in my country even though bitcoin is still illegal but bnak still serve bitcoin exchange with rupiah .

according to my personal bounty it is not gift but work for the bitcoiners. if in wondering how long bounty will remain no answer I was growing day and increase in many companies companies using crypto. so my conclusion bounty will remain until at any time.

never too late. Cryptocurrencies are our future, and so it's nice to understand processes. To invest in BTC maybe not fresh idea, and better to search new interesting project, like ETH on the start will bring more profit. Even though cryptoworld is interesting and perspective if shut eyes on scammers 

In our country, We don't need to worry because digital currency is legal. Our government is okay with that because they know that it is also a nice way to help those people who are in poverty. It is really to find a job in our country that's why I think the reason why government allows it is to give a opportunity to those people to earn.

First saya ikut bergabung bersama bitcointalk ini,rasanya saya akan memulai hidup baru lagi.yang dulu cuex and no comment tentang bitcointalk ini,justru sekarang saya mulai tertarik dengan mengikuti kehebatan bitcointalk ini.

In fact, this high volatility is what has made bitcoin, and more specifically cryptocurrency trading, one of the most successful businesses of the moment, because unlike ordinary financial markets that rarely offer 30% profitability per year, cryptocurrencies have allowed the massive emergence of new rich by offering profitability exceeding 100% per month. However, I am convinced that sooner or later the market will tend to reduce its volatility by entering a period of maturity as soon as massive institutional investments enter.

In my country Bitcoin is still a subject of debate among the wider community as well as in governments that do not support Bitcoin fully. But behind it all there is good news that we should give appreciation is when the government does not prohibit the use of Bitcoin.

i think so yes, i believe it will be 50k by the end of the year.

but no one can say for sure, but i don't see why not

I am not sure that panic is the right way at any situation. Always better to find power inside yourself and just wait for better times to get your profit or something else.

To protect the currencies we need to spend time on betterment of its transaction and cash payments

Gold and bitcoin are a very good investment because they both have a high price or a very high price, and both will guarantee luxury life especially in finance and I think everyone wants that. What I use is part of the advantages of bitcoin I buy gold so that both remain awake and remain high value. Bitcoin is the best solution for all the dependent financial problems that use it in what way

Bitcoin purchases are discrete. Unless a user voluntarily publishes his Bitcoin transactions, his purchases are never associated with his personal identity, much like cash-only purchases, and cannot be traced back to him. In fact, the anonymous Bitcoin address that is generated for user purchases changes with each transaction.

As indicated by predictions bitcoin should have achieved 15k$ by end of 2017 and fall in first week of jan 2018

In any case, shockingly its effectively reached 17k$ in 2017.

Should I purchase or hold my btc?I don't plan to sell at any point in the near future.

How do you guys think? Do we need regulations in the crypto world? Should only ICO be regulated or legit coins (not "security tokens") too? Can we implement regulations mechanisms in code so that corrupted governmental institutions couldn't manipulate the industry? Can we still have free market with governments' regulations across the world?

Please, share your thoughts. I'm a bit confused about what's happening right now.

  I think we cannot assure the price of bitcoin in 2018 because everything is just an speculations some speculation says that bitcoin will rise up to $50,000 at the end of year 2018 but I think it is just a 50% basis we cannot really predict bitcoin price because it is unstable and it can really change any time anywhere.
