It is very unlikely that Bitcoin will be replaced by another cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency that was created and has the largest market share. 

There is no reason why Amazon shouldn't accept Bitcoin at some point in the future. I believe that it is only question of time. Testing and making sure there are no issues with the implementation it will require some time but the time will come.

Because the potential investment return is higher compared to established coins. The risk is also higher when investing in ICOs and they require a lot more effort to evaluate each ICO project than just focusing on Bitcoin.

Trezor works well and is fairly easy to set up with step by step instructions. You can complete the set up, understand how it works and transfer your coins in less than twenty minutes. 

I agree that Ethereum is the future of crypto as enables many more applications than Bitcoin. However, is Bitcoin visibility, media attention and adoption that will continue to drive growth in all other cryptocurrencies including Ethereum.

Litecoin has been around for quite some time with a stable track record, a lot of development work is in progress and there is a clear leader moving things forward.

I believe that Satoshi predicted the coming of Altcoin, however, not to this extent with the creation of so many ICOs. Altcoins are a welcome competition for Bitcoin to promote the industry overall and Bitcoin in particular that as the first coin is the main beneficiary of the industry growth. 

It is desirable for Etherium to remain in limited price range as most of the ICOs set an ETH conversion price before distribution and a more predictable coin price allow to estimate how mach money these projects are able to raise. I think ETH will continue to be a less volatile coin than Bitcoin.

Indeed there are only few ICOs that are paying out dividends. However just like in the case of Bitcoin and Bitcoin Gold any time that there is a fork for any of these ICOs it is like receiving a dividend.

The reason why people are holding Bitcoin has evolved over time. Initially the objective was to introduce a new method of payment with a large effort to seek acceptance from merchants. Today the focus is more on holding Bitcoin as a long term investment. This is confirmed by the growing interest from professional investors. I believe that the focus will revert back to method of payment as Bitcoin wallets and exchanges become more user friendly.

These Australian Primary School students exploring Bitcoin and cryptocurrency technology at school are the real "Bitcoin First Generation." They were born after Bitcoin was introduced and they receive a Bitcoin education at school. This is very promising for cryptocurrency mass adoption.

Some existing companies are beginning to launch their own ICOs because they are able to retain a portion of the new coins and utilize them at a later stage for payments or other corporate needs as they build their ecosystem. This is fair as they bet their existing brand name and reputation on the coin success. I expect that this new trend will pick up steam in the future.

Yes, the value of Bitcoin Gold should be already priced into the current price of BTC and we should see a BTC price drop similar to the value of Bitcoin Gold after the fork. The reason is that detailed information about Bitcoin Gold is already available, therefore people can incorporate this information in BTC price.

I agree that both forks (Bitcoin Gold and Segwit2x) may bring about some Bitcoin price volatility during the next few weeks. However, historically price volatility has been positive for Bitcoin due to more media attention leading more people to get involved with cryptocurrency and ultimately Bitcoin price has always moved higher over time. I don't expect the next two forks to be any different from the recent Bitcoin Cash fork experience. These forks help to move the adoption of cryptocurrency forward and I don't think people should be concerned.

It would be great to attract institutional investors to Bitcoin. Individual investors are better off investing directly due to lower fees and ability to withdraw without penalty, however, not everybody is willing to do all the necessary record keeping, passwords, etc. An ETF would simplify things quite a bit for people.

The current economic environment is favorable for risky asset classes including cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin. It looks like this may continue for some time, therefore more people will look into learning about Bitcoin with more inflows in the future.

Beyond that any Bitcoin volatility is always welcome as Bitcoin is one of the few places where it is still possible to enjoy some meaningful price swings these days.

These forks help Bitcoin gaining media attention as well as engaging more people to learn about cryptocurrency. I see more positive then negative.

I noticed that for most of these Airdrops a "Newbie" status doesn't qualify for a distribution. In addition, several of them require that the airdrop applicant has a Bitcointalk account open for a specific number of days before the distribution in order to receive the coins. I even saw a requirement of a minimum number of postings on Bitcoin Forum independently from the applicant's Bitcointalk status.

I am wondering if due to restrictions on ICOs (i.e. China) airdrops will become the main distribution channel for new coins.
