There are not many women in the IT sector, especially in coding and programming. Perhaps the female brain is not suited for such activities. Another factor may be that the females are less likely to invest in high risk assets, such as Bitcoin and altcoins.

Even if I sell my coins now, I won't be a millionaire. I calculated the net worth of all my coins and they add up to around $90,000. After the taxes and exchange fee, I will be left with around $60,000. What I am going to do with 60K? I would rather hold on to my coins.

None of the major exchanges allow you to trade in crypto, if you don't have ID verification. In that case, the only option left for you is the highly risky peer-to-peer transfer. But the risk of getting scammed is extremely high in such cases, as there is no third party in between the buyer and seller.

I have uploaded all my portfolio details on to cointracking.info, and I check my net wealth every one or two hours. It is crazy, as in my office people are already complaining about it. But I think that these people are just jealous that I am getting huge profits from my crypto-investments.

They have issues with their attitude. The Zimbabwe players don't have any team spirit, and they mainly play for their own individual gain. It is quite understandable, considering the deteriorating political situation in that country. They have some very good players, such as Brendan Taylor and Kyle Jarvis. But what is the use if these players are not sufficiently motivated?

They are already performing well, and in the future also the potential is quite significant. Some of the altcoins have given 100x and even 1,000x returns in 2017 (examples are Cardano, Tron, and IOTA). In 2018 also, I expect many of the alts to give similar returns.

I have only purchased three altcoins to date. These are - Litecoin, Deep Onion, and Bitcoin Cash. That said, I hold more than a dozen other altcoins. But I have received all of them through airdrops (Byteball, Bitsend, Bitcoin Gold, Bitcore, Stellar Lumens, Bytether.etc).

I would prefer Waves over Ethereum. ETH looks quite a bit inflated to me, and the promoters are dumping their coins every now and then. On top of that, a lot of tokens are now being created based on Waves and the popularity of ETH for the same purpose is on the decline.

Unless they are paying a wealth tax on their Bitcoin holdings, we will never come to know. But I strongly suspect that at least some of the billionaires have made considerable investments in Bitcoin. And I would expect a large part of that group to be from Japan.

I am surprised that this thread has attracted more than a thousand posts. The topic makes no sense. How can a currency end world poverty? In that case can we ask whether the United States Dollar or the Great Britain Pound can end the world poverty?

Neither Bitcoin, nor altcoin is safe. They are extremely risky to invest, and if you are planning to make an investment then be prepared to lose the entire amount (in case something bad happens). That said, there is a chance that BTC/Alts may give you many times the returns when compared to the traditional investment assets. But everything will depend on your luck.

2018 will decide the future of Bitcoin. It will decide whether Bitcoin will survive in the long term future or not. 2018 is going to be either boom or bust for the crypto-currency. For my part, I am quite hopeful about BTC. Despite the authorities trying hard to destroy the crypto, we have survived.

I don't think so. The prices are still much lower than what we had two weeks back. And since the basics are quite strong, I expect Bitcoin to reach new heights by mid-2018, or by the end of this year. 2018 is going to be a very special year for Bitcoin. There is a lot in the pipeline, including the ETF listing and futures listing in NASDAQ.

If you really want to help them, then spend the money on their medicines and education. If you give them free money, then it will do more harm than good. They will use it for useless expenses, and in the end they will ruin their own health and reputation.

If the poor and needy are willing to work for me, then I will consider paying them in Bitcoins. But if you are asking for freebies, then I have to say that I am very sorry. I don't believe in giving handouts to anyone. It will only make these people lazy and they are most likely to spend all that money on wasteful expenses such as booze and drugs.

The potential is there and there is plenty of interest in the crypto-currency from the investors. But it needs to be seen whether the investors are willing to risk their capital in an asset, which is not favored by the authorities. Apart from a few exceptions such as Japan and Switzerland, the government attitudes remain overwhelmingly negative towards the crypto-currency.

2025 is a long way off, and there is no possibility of predicting the future of Bitcoin that far. Bitcoin may still be the no.1 crypto-currency and the prices may cross the magical $100,000 mark. But at the same time, there is a real possibility of some of the altcoins such as Ethereum and Bitcoin Cash dislodging Bitcoin from the no.1 position.

These dips are all temporary. I still remember what happened after the news about the exchange ban in China came out. The price nosedived from $4,500 per coin to $2,900 per coin. But after that, it rose very sharply and crossed $5,000 mark in a few days time.

What is wrong with all these nations? First it was China which was trying to ban the Bitcoin trade. Then it was India's turn. And then we heard news from Nepal and Bangladesh, where Bitcoin users were arrested and detained. And when we thought that we had enough, there was a major blow from one of the most significant markets (South Korea). And now France as well...

This is an inflated number, IMO. I guess that the maximum number of lost coins is somewhere around 2 million, even after including the Satoshi Coins (980,000 BTC). But we can only make wild estimates. There is no option of verifying this figure.
