That's just an isolated case; an outlier if one may say. Bitcoin is still doing its intended purpose, that is to be a p2p cash payment option and as a store of value. Also, I doubt that those terrorist utilize their bitcoins well. In some countries, it is hard to convert them to fiat and I think countries in the middle east is one of them.

But we're talking about its dominance in percentage here. It doesn't matter if bitcoin will still remain on top or not, it doesn't erase the fact that investors will move out of it if there's a coin they like--which will result in lower dominance.

Once bitcoin is regulated, all its pseudo-anonymity will be lost. This will be counter-productive to what it is meant to solve. So what needs to be done is to remain unregulated and at the same time, improve itself since it is a first generation blockchain and more projects are overtaking it in terms of tech.

The future of ICOs are bleak. Ethereum is in a predicament this year and might not recover anytime soon. As the talk about its migration from POW to POS, it's price seems to get lower and lower, and wiith that the popularity of icos will plummet.

Regulations are not a good thing for crypto because it eliminates the essence of confidentiality. However, this is necessary to reduce the number of people who us it for illegal things. Anyway, people can still use decentralized exchanges to avoid regulations--the volume is not high though.

This is not the case for all the time. It might be that the government doesn't have the necessary ways to deal with cryptocurrencies and they are banning it for the meantime until they find it. Cryptocurrencies are fairly new to our generation, integrating it in a country without exerting necessary caution will be disastrous.

This idea might have stemmed from the fact that most bitcoin miners are from Asia so you automatically assume that most of the holders are in there as well. It has something to do also with the false info o the creator of bitcoin being Asian. IMO, there are many hodlers in the asia, but the whales are in the west.

Having many exchange, especially decentralized, is never a bad thing. Of course, there's a chance that some of them will be scamming people but the bottom line is, they have more options. They can choose from a variety of exchange that provides different services, not only those who only want the traders money like binance.

The problem is, if that expert person gives in into corruption, which seems to be a common thing in ICOs. Even advisors in some project won't mind even if they endorse as scam as long as they get paid in the process. This is why it is important to DYOR and never trust some "expert" in this space.

Being a deflationary currency means that more people will tend to hold it since its value increases over time--hindering its capabilities of becoming an actual currency. This actually focuses less in its aspect as a currency since a currency that is not circulated well is not a good one.

Granted that bitcoin becomes more popular than it is now, the main concern is: can it adapt to the level of usage? Last year, transaction fees reach absurd levels. Not to the point that people would go back to wire transfers to move money overseas but enough to question the tech behind it. Which is why, I hope that lightning would become well integrated in the society in the future to avoid this from happening again.

If you love panic sellers then you must love bounty hunters more... those guys sell whatever price they want since they got their tokens without investing on a project.

Really though, its good that there are panic sellers, it makes the price go down for most overvalued projects.

Frauds happen in crypto too, especially in bitcoin where newbie investors get scammed all the time. I believe that this is inevitable regardless if its bitcoin or banks we're talking about because there's always one person that will not do due diligence.

Though if we base it only in the system itself, it is without that bitcoin is more secure since information cannot be altered.

All things have downsides, but it all matters to how heavier the benefits are. Bitcoin for example, if it were to become a worldwide currency, governments would have a hard time to tax people who operate business though crypto. The reason being their concept being opposite to each other--a centralized entitiy wanting to control a decentralized entity.

You advice not to listen to media but you expect the OP to believe your words--a stranger in some forum?

Charts are good only for a predictable market like traditional stocks. For a very volatile market like bitcoin, charts are useless. One bad news is enough to reverse your expected chart outcome.

Bitcoin has reached its peak popularity since last year december and from that, we only witnessed decreasing interest of the public. We would take a long time for the people to appreciate it again.

We have long been past its goal for being a currency. Given the volume of people hodling it, it is safe to assume that the number 1 goal of bitcoin now is to be a form of investment.

There are plenty of ways to earn up to a thousand dollars by joining bounty. I suspect that you only know of signature but try to participate in blog campaign if you have vast knowledge in crypto and write articles. You can also join youtube and translation campaign - - basically all campaigns that have less participants.

Strangely enough, when I brought up the topic about crypto to my friends, they were all ears and actually interested in the underlying technology. This led then to do their own research and realise that it can also be used as an investment tool of some sort.
