I think we need to add one more thing, which is the unprofessional idea.
For fraud projects, they often offer roadmaps and limited visibility. Their whitepaper only focuses on the price of tokens and big discounts and some limited information about the market. That is also a way to identify fraud.

Until now, Bitcoin is hardly accepted by countries for what it is because it is [1] beyond their comprehension, [2] a threat to their existing fiat system, [3] is neither issued nor directly monitored or supervised by the government, [4] is not owned by a certain person or company which the government could easily communicate, convince, or even threaten when the necessity arises, [5] is somehow anonymous, [6] and so forth. Having mentioned all these reasons, it is really difficult for Bitcoin to be accepted as legal tender in any country.

I know that many traders lose because they do traders every day, but in my opinion, for crypto trading it can't be done every day it must be known in advance, up trend and down trend. when the uptrend market is where the trader enters the market to stay in profit.

maybe for some people, this will be risky
but what I do if I have 60 Bitcoin is investing 50% in a trusted gambling platform and investing 50% making my own mining
investing in gambling sites like Bustadice, Bitvest or other is quite profitable IMO.

Yeah, Andreas has come up most. It's funny how few other names get mentioned, after all, and that all of the names (specifically including Andreas) are being debated about. I guess this is a really strong indicator for Bitcoin's decentralized governance, is it?

People are interested in crypto investments initially because there are other people they see success with the investments that are followed, eventually they begin to be curious and begin to ask, how to benefit from crypto investments. Indeed, we should first introduce what cryptocurrency is and what are the advantages and risks that will be experienced when investing. Very volatile prices on crypto are very dangerous for novice investors if they are not ready with market and other knowledge. Need more education so that they really understand to move to the next level.

There are many fake projects that find their way to coinmarketcap, just because they are listed on Coinmarketcap doesn't mean they are good projects, i wish coinmarketcap care more about its reputation like binance exchange do but they don't

There are too many similar products at the market. I doubt you'll find a good gain unless there's a crazy fomo like late 2017. If I were you, better stick with BNB only. Unless you have a million dollars that you can spend for anything. Another strategy is to buy all of the tokens and put a stop loss around 50% mark, but remember, that will put you in a dangerous situation if things went wrong with BTC.

I'm not an aggressive crypto investor, so I'd instead use DeFi to get more bitcoin.

I don’t think blockchain online wallet is good.I saw many people faced problem in blockchain. If you search,you will see thath their history is not good.if you holding big amout of money then you should change your wallet.

Bitcoin, the OG cryptocurrency, turns 11 on 31 October. Over the past decade (and a bit), Bitcoin has inspired the advent of an entirely new industry based on the concept of decentralization. For its most fierce supporters, Bitcoin signals salvation – a way of beating the centralized financial systems and garnering freedom.

A lot has happened over the last 11 years, so let’s break things down year by year and take a look at the rise of this incredible technology.

2008

On 31 October 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto released a whitepaper titled Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System. The paper detailed modes of using a peer-to-peer network (a blockchain), to form a cryptocurrency that functioned outside of the boundaries of a central bank or authority. The paper was largely in response to the financial crisis that had occurred earlier in the same year, a recession which rocked the global financial markets.

2009

3 January 2009 saw the formation of the Bitcoin blockchain, when Satoshi Nakamoto mined the genesis block of Bitcoin (block 0), which had a reward of 50 BTC. The following text was embedded in the coinbase of this block:

“The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.”

Many people believe that this text refers to a headline that was published in The Times on 3 January 2009. It’s believed to act both as a timestamp of the genesis date, and a comment on the instability that was caused by fractional-reserve banking and, therefore, the global recession.

SourceForge hosted the first open source Bitcoin client, which was released on 9 January 2009.

On 12 January 2009, Hal Finney (one of Bitcoin’s earliest supporters) received 10 BTC from Satoshi Nakamoto in the world’s first Bitcoin transaction.

2010

A major vulnerability in the protocol of the Bitcoin network was spotted on 6 August 2010. Transactions were not being properly verified before they were included in the blockchain, allowing users to essentially bypass the network’s supply restrictions of 21 million and create an infinite number of Bitcoins. 

This vulnerability came to a head when a hacker generated 184 billion Bitcoins, which they then sent to 2 addresses on the network. This was spotted within a number of hours, and the transaction was erased from the transaction log after the bug was fixed.

2011

The Electronic Frontier Foundation began accepting BTC in January 2011, but shut down the program in June 2011 when concerns around the lack of legal precedent for new currency systems emerged. The EFF resumed accepting Bitcoin in May 2013.

June 2011 also saw whistle-blowing site WikiLeaks begin accepting BTC, as a way for supporters to make anonymous donations.

2012

September 2012 signalled the launch of the Bitcoin Foundation, which was intended to “accelerate the global growth of Bitcoin through standardization, protection, and promotion of the open source protocol”.

In October 2012, it was reported by BitPay that more than 1000 merchants had started accepting Bitcoin as a payment processing service. In November, WordPress joined them.

2013

In April 2013, Mt. Gox and BitInstant reported processing delays due to insufficient capacity. This resulted in the Bitcoin exchange rate dropping from $266 to $76 to $160 in the space of only 6 hours.

In October 2013, roughly 26,000 BTC were seized from the website Silk Road by the FBI during the arrest of its alleged owner, Ross William Ulbricht. 29 October saw two companies, Robocoin and Bitcoiniacs, launch the world’s first Bitcoin ATM in Vancouver, Canada.

2014

Early February saw Mt Gox, one of the largest Bitcoin exchanges at the time, suspend withdrawals citing technical issues. By the end of the month it had filed for bankruptcy protection, during reports that 850,000 BTC had been stolen during a hack of the exchange.

In June 2014, Bitcoin’s hashrate exceeded 100,000 tera hashes per second for the first time.

Microsoft began accepting Bitcoin for Xbox and Windows software purchases in December 2014.

2015

Less than a year after the Mt. Gox fiasco, UK-based exchange Bitstamp declared that they would go offline to investigate a hack which resulted in roughly 19,000 BTC being stolen from their hot wallet. They remained offline for several days, before coming back with increased security measures.

February 2015 saw the number of merchants accepting Bitcoin exceed a whopping 100,000.

2016

In January 2016, Bitcoin’s hash rate exceeded 1,000,000 tera hashes per second. March 2016 saw the Cabinet of Japan recognize digital assets like Bitcoin as having a similar function to fiat currency, and Bidorbuy, South Africa’s largest online marketplace, launched Bitcoin payments for buyers and sellers.

From March 2015 to September 2016, the number of Bitcoin ATMs doubled over the course of only 18 months. The 2016 halvening, saw miner’s reward for validating transactions halve, and heralded the arrival of 2017’s epic and record-breaking bull run.

2017

2017 was quite the year for Bitcoin. It continued gaining legitimacy among lawmakers and financial companies, with Japan and Russia both passing laws that legitimized cryptocurrencies existence in the mainstream. Bitcoin also underwent a hard fork on 1 August, splitting in Bitcoin (BTC), and Bitcoin Cash (BCH).

2017 saw the culmination of a historic Bitcoin bull run, when Bitcoin’s price reached an all time high of $20,089 USD, according to CoinMarketCap. 

2018

On 22 January 2018, South Korea introduced regulations requiring Bitcoin traders to disclose their identities, effectively implementing a ban on anonymous Bitcoin trading. 2018 was a bit of a rough year for Bitcoin , and cryptocurrencies in general, as the market plunged from the great highs of December 2017.


2019

So here we are today: Bitcoin has made a solid recovery from it’s dismal 2018, and many analysts expect a bull run in the near future. Bitcoin has connected people and communities in a way that no technology has before. Bitcoin is the pioneer behind blockchain, that is helping build a more decentralized and fairer future. Ultimately, Bitcoin is a tool for freedom – and it’s not going anywhere. Happy Birthday Bitcoin – you’ve been good to us!

I don’t think that some kind of "altcoin season" awaits us. After the boom of 2017, there is a realization of the situation. And the situation is such that attempts to tokenize everything in success have failed. 99% of the projects were abandoned. In the real world, there is no interest in the services offered, it is quite sufficient that is and successfully works.
So, unfortunately, it seems to me that altcoins will not return

What exactly *is* the rate of inflation in 3rd world or developing countries these days?  I know in countries like Venezuela and parts of Africa its too high to even measure, but those are exceptional cases of hyperinflation.  The rest of the world doesn't seem to be experiencing anything even close to that.

Anyway op, inflation affects all countries, all economies, all the time.  Developing countries aren't unique, tho they probably feel the effects more acutely because of higher rates of poverty and unemployment among their citizens.  Last time I checked, inflation in the U.S. was pretty low despite all of that money printing.  Is it really that high in the rest of the world?

Coinbase is a business and they have to profit to continue their expenditures like the salary of their employees and other cost of their operations. I haven't used coinbase for a long time because I don't see it fit with my favor but if the fee is others concern then they should stop using them and try to get into decentralized exchanges which mostly have low volumes. The convenience that this kind of exchange brings to the users is of one concern why many are coming back to them and keep on using them.

If you want to trading, it will be good if you check in Coinmarketcap.
There are many cryptocurrency exchange that support to trading Bitcoin with diffrence fees.

Yes it is true, most people invest without knowing more about the project they are going to participate in and they are just following what others have said without observing themselves or analyzing the project. And maybe the person is just a beginner in cryptocurrency so I think his close friend can provide more knowledge about his friend so they don't get disadvantaged or at least to better understand about cryptocurrency.

Suppose you earned 60BTC by working hard for 5 years and one day you decide now you don't want to work then what would you do with that amount?
How would you invest that amount? What will you do? Hold it dreaming the price will rise? Sell it and invest the fiat? or start a business? or retire? Any ideas?  

Well the Facebook could do nothing about it. imagine put yourself in a position against the government it's like they are trying to dig their own grave if they proceed to confront the regulation.
Mark zuckerberg to back off if the government refuses to give permit is definitely the wisest decision he could do. Creating libra will offer an uncertain profit and it will take a lot of hardwork anyways. The backing off done by the major investors also does make sense they won't throw their money for unreasonable causes.
