Japan already is. I would rather look for updates on how many merchants and stores accept cryptocurrencies in Japan today (it was supposed to be 260k by this summer). And I am more than sure they have created bitcoin and Satoshi (whoever he is) is really Japanese. It's sad they have strict immigration rules, otherwise I'd be already there  

Yes, because lots of them are offering alternative technical features that bitcoin does not have. They also have different transaction commission costs and speeds that certain users can't afford for BTC. There are many other reasons, but the basic one is the increase of variety in the market. Imagine there was only one e-mail service provider on the net...

Good luck!

How about becoming a good specialist in your field, register your account and achievements in freelancing working sites and work whenever and however you like?  

That's what I was doing before I entered the crypto market and I can say I was earning much more as a freelancer than as a full-time employee  

I just show my balance in USD before and after 2017. They go crazy about it: They think it was a magic or some sort of scam, but I just tell them I was lucky to invest in the right moment, and I say them that they have similar chances now as well! 

Just try learning new things, try making your own product (might be small and simple but useful), try making other people smile and be happy, remember, that there are millions on earth that don't have money to buy food or clothes. Just be happy with what you have at the moment and try achieving more! 

What do you mean by saying 'this revolutionary crap! '? As far as I am concerned, there is no big revolution happening in any country these days, unless you speak about the cryptocurrency revolution. However, you are right in terms of being worried about the political disturbances and speculations, because they greatly affect the price (at least these days).  

Thanks for the comment. One of the reasonable explanations I came across for this thread. Smartphone mining? Come on! It's like asking whether I can code with a smartphone, or not. Can you write codes? I think you can't even use tablets for that! And now mining? Come on!

It does not. I have had affairs with men 20 years older than me, and a boy that was only 21 (I was 37 that time). So it does not. Both of the relationships did not work out because of the geographical locations, however, age was not an issue at all. Now, my husband is 3 years younger than me, but we don't feel that different because we think and behave similarly.

I believe, that what matters in relationships is a mutual understanding. If it exists, the rest will easily follow! 

Remember, that buying cryptocurrencies is never late. Especially the small altcoins, because they are just getting started, they are on their way of growing and becoming decent cryptocurrencies. Just do some research on the coins you want to invest in, so that you know more about their specific characteristic and features, and also you know that they are legit coins and you are not getting scammed. 

Good luck! 

I wish I had studies computer science and became a software developer. They make a lot of money these days, so I wish I had also invested my time and efforts in that field. I am not too old now for that, and am taking some courses, but still it's not the same as starting it from the college. 

I think many would agree!

It follows this logic: neither legal nor illegal in most of the countries. In terms of law, if something is not prohibited by law, than it's legal. The question is 'but what if there is no legal act?'. Well, let's say you throw a cigarette and there is no law punishing that. A policeman comes and says you need to be punished and you ask for the legal act that you have broken. It does not exist, so obviously you did not break anything. The same applies to bitcoin.

In Japan it is legal, because there is a law about cryptocurrencies making them legal. In South Korea, it is legal but you need to identify yourself. Some other countries may just ask the holders and traders to identify themselves, so that they can track the illegal usage of cryptocurrencies. Otherwise, i don't think governments will totally ban bitcoin.   

$10-20 is quite enough for alts if you are a starter. That will give a sense of how trading works, how you earn and lose when the coins go up and down. But if you are aiming to earn much money, you need to invest more. However, as I said, stick to a lower amount if you are starter, because until you learn all of the nuances, you may lose some money. If your initial investment is not too big, you obviously won't lose much!   But good ROI needs good investment, so keep that in mind!  

Bitcoin losing popularity? Let me tell you this: the drop makes it even more popular, because it creates more noise in the media, and more people want to figure out what it is and how it works. Remember, last year (in November) the price was only $4000s and it was a big deal at that time. Now it is $7000s and people still panic. I personally don't see any obstacle that will block the price hitting very very high in the nearest future!  

I don't, and I don't understand those who do. The biggest problem is that the muslim haters associate them with the terrorists, however terrorism has nothing to do with islam. To me, terrorism is something totally different and does not recognize any boundaries and morality. There was a period when terrorism was being interconnected mainly with islam (I believe some organizations still do that), so that people would think that the Arabic world is bad and insecure. 

HOWEVER, Arabs and the muslim people are great kind people and they have nothing to do with terrorism. You may argue, that some terrorists are Arabs, BUT the statistics shows that most of the terrorist acts in the USA are being committed by Americans. So how is that different? Just remember the recent shootings in Las Vegas (one of the biggest massive shootings in the history of that country). Was it committed by an Arab (or muslim)? IT WAS NOT ! Or the Norwegian Brevik? Was he muslim? Nope, he was a christian European (Norwegian). 

If you still believe that muslim people are bad people, it means that you have not met a muslim in your life and talked to him/her. Trying doing that and your imaginations and perceptions will change immediately! Good luck!

P.S. BTW, I am not a muslim.

  

Novogatz predicted in 2017 that bitcoin will reach $40k in 2018. That might seem being a risky but quite reasonable prediction. Currently, we experience a drop, which is mainly caused by the panic users have at the moment. When we pass this period, the price will again go up, because bitcoin is limited and people are actively mining them.

I hope this helps !

It is never late to buy cryptocurrencies. As of bitcoin, the price is relatively low now, so if you risk and believe the predictions on bitcoin reaching to the moon, now is the right time to buy and store some. 

I risked once and that made me rich  Good luck! 

How do I get merit in that case? Thanks!

I have also collected some, but I am not expecting it to reach $5 in the nearest future. However, my long term expectations are $10 (even higher), and still I consider myself as a long-term investor, I will just hodl!  

I don't think you can be that much sure about that. If your prediction worked once, we can't be sure that it will happen again. What if people sell now and the price goes up tomorrow? I would personally buy some now and hodl. If it goes down, fine, will buy more with that price also. How does this work for you?
