$160k seems fair and somewhat realistic  but yet it's not advisable to hold steadfast to it or act on this prediction. If you are intending to invest more because of this price; do not because prediction may or may not come to pass. Invest because you want to.
If we will see this price, then something needs to be triggered, an event is likely to push Bitcoin to this price.

Well, this is an interesting news and quite encouraging. If more huge businesses like this can embrace cryptocurrency particularly Bitcoin,  it will continue to spread the adoption and circulation of Bitcoin .
And I guess this news might also be a win win for altcoins focusing on automotive industry.

I kinda reason with him on what he seems to be doing not even about him protecting or shielding Bitcoin from the government but on how he hypes Bitcoin.
Though, his predictions are most times quite unrealistic with those ridiculous figures he keeps calling. But looking at it in other way,  the guy is indirectly hyping Bitcoin to attract more investors.

The first two in your list (Bitpay and Coinbase)are both okay. But the choice still depends on the one you prefer.
To some people, the verification process in Coinbase is somewhat too much while to some,  it's not.
Do make your research and read recent reviews to see what people are saying and know if it applies to your need.

I have been in the same situation like yours,  can be frustrating watching the price go down drastically.
Though, it depends on the coin;  if it's among the top listed coin in coinmarket (for instance) that has a good possibility of maintaining it position in the nearest future, then leave it;  it time will surely come.
But for others coins which has a shaky future, it's left for you to either sell off or keep waiting for the unknown future.
Mine was among the top listed coin; I'm still holding and I'm not regretting it.
This is why it's always recommended to trade and invest with money you are willing to forgo, cause anything can happen.

What's the need of clearly stating that or making a statement that 'they don't accept cryptocurrency'. It's really not a do or die affair. As a company,  they have the every right to accept whichever currency they which to accept or feel like without having to please anyone. Still don't understand why this is making headlines though.

Exactly, even it's not even about him not predicting an accurate price before but because of the particular date he fixed on this one. Though, he might not be wrong but with the date; probably he calculated it well or that's when he is trying to buy more of the coin as a whale and dump it up again when it hits his desired price so he keeps trying to hype it.   

Some times, it's not even about fake news; it could be the inability for many to read the main content of the news and assimilate it well. Because most times, the media may be right in their news content  but there headline may be misleading.
Missing understanding of the headline is one problem that circulates fake news.

Lol... This is another nonsense and of his funny prediction. You guys should leave John McAfee alone,  the guy enjoy eating his dick cause it's not something that is difficult for him, and he enjoys doing that with this awful Bitcoin price prediction .. Lol
Moreover, the reporter enjoys asking those questions..Her facial expressions though... Lol

In my own opinion, whether it's a bubble or not, whoever that wants to rush in and sell should go ahead  and do so. It's high time we purge this market from inconsistent traders and investors because part of the reasons why this market is unstable is because of many investors irrational fear and panic action of quick selling.

I do say this is happens more by from developers than to exchanges though. I have seen many developers do this, they do this especially when they just release their coin to the market and don't want bounty hunters to dump on them. It's another way of them protecting their coin price.

Not only bank employees that steals individual data for fake bank loans; have you ever been to the dark web? That is their number one scam method.
Though, t's okay to avoid KYC  cause of security purposes yet some of all this genuine exchanges are demanding for KYC for their own safety and countries policy too. 

There might be two things involved here. First is that they probably want to create more awareness among those  who ain't aware of Bitcoin and using their products.
And another second thing is that, they might have done a market survey and discovered that most of their users are making use of it; this they decided to include it. If that will surely make them more money, they wont hesitate to include it. Lol. 

I personally fell that with the direction that it is going,  there is a possibility that it may hit $4000. A price dump may not come from a panic sell but I fear that any dip we might see might be from those who want to enter and catch out quick.
And moreover,  if it hit the price of $4k, reaching $5k might not take too long.

For me,  I feel its inconclusive and can be hard to state because the amount of Bitcoin that  will circulate in the nearest future will have to do with how much it adoption and acceptation will be in the future.
So it's okay to say that that the amount of circulating  Bitcoin will double or triple if it's adoption increase than what it is now. Or might reduce if it has low adoption.

Interesting, I think it's high time blockchain as a study should be introduced as a separate school course both in high schools or college. People needs to be educated in the usefulness of blockchain technology and how effective it will be if many sectors embrace it and to also understand that the blockchain technology is not all about 'Bitcoin' .
 

What will really determine the number of exchanges in the future is how prominent they are and how true they will keep to their words.
What is dragging most exchanges down are because of hidden charges. 
There is nothing annoying as hidden charges; promise one thing but doing another. If an exchange is transparent, it will survive the test of time.

In my own opinion, it's quite risky though. You might be tempted to rush in to sell in order to buy quickly again. But have you consider, what if the price keeps increasing and buying back becomes hard or a problem.
Moreover, it also depends on how fast you are in selling and buying back.  The choice is yours though .

That they are trustworthy does not still guarantee that an ICO will still be hundred percent scam free.  Sometimes, what most of all this scammer developers do is to come to the forum,  research about prominent bounty manager and use them to promote they ICO because they believe that trusted bounty managers attracts more participation.
The bounty manager might research about the ICO before exhibiting it,   yet might not be hundred percent right.

It's left for participants to make their own deep personal research.
