I think that both projects are going to be alive for the time to come, if it is a good investment? it depends, if the strong speculative period is over, we will see the real market value, based on business usage and capitalization. Of course there will always be a bit of speculation, but now we are far from being on earth&rational.

Being said that, I think that ADA have to prove a lot, as someone said, ETH is mature so we know what it is capable of. However, as we all now, once you are mature changing is more difficult. Therefore, ADA has a little adaptive advantage, they can still design themselves around the new needs in the blockchain space. However ETH is proven to be working right now.

Beh, mi sembra evidente portare a casa un insegnamento, già appurato da tempo in vari ambiti. Ma qui è molto evidente, "giornalisti" parlano di cose che non conoscono, in parte per ignoranza con un pizzico di arroganza, fin qui è un errore umano. L'altro punto è che la macchina mediatica è un arma sofisticata per manovrare la direzione del "progresso", per fortuna la tecnologia non si può distruggere. Se uno stato la banna, ci sarà sempre un'altro che ne trae vantaggio, costringendo in ultimo al paese che lo bannò a ri-aggiornarsi e stare al passo con i tempi. Se volgiamo proiettarci in un futuro lontano, possiamo dire che il rischio di un governo globale è quello di poter sopprimere il progresso, portandoci a scenari Orwelliani!   

There was a report shared here where some researchers claimed that they can prove the many people are holding hacked bitcoins. But it was found to be a fake claim, I think it is impossible to create fake bitcoins also.

It is nice to see that prices are recovering, it will bring relief to people who have invested at high levels. I am going to hold my bitcoins for 3-4 years so small price movements make no difference to me.

Bitcoin fees depends mainly on the network congestion, in simple words how many other transactions are happening currently. When bitcoins was at its peak , $20000, the transactions took hours because of this reason only.

I am happy that he is going to face legal action for manipulating new investors. These kind of people do a lot of harm to crypto community as they affect the trust of people.

Only way to get bitcoins without investing any money is by participating in signature campaigns. There are some campaigns which pay $100-$400 per month in bitcoins depending on member rank.

Bounty campaigns should not be considered as source of living as they are not regular. You should treat is as extra income only. For trading, start with a small amount first.

Some of the airdrops allow newbies here also but you beet participate as a junior member only. This is because you will get more coins as your rank improves.

Those scaling issues you mentioned need to be solved for mass adoption. Last year when bitcoin was at its peak, we had to wait hours for the transactions to go through.

Good joke, there is no choice that Ripple is going to replace bitcoins. Most of the ripple is owned by the owners and that makes their intentions clear.

Many people have similar regrets after seeing the success of bitcoins. They can go for alt coin and expect it to be next bitcoin.

I would like to comment on the later part calling bitcoin as bubble. It is baseless statement in my opinion. And how can we trust someone with a blogspot blog.

One of the ways to do this is to transfer to wallets of relatives and take sash from them. But there is still some risk of getting caught as someone may report you.

And also keep in mind that bitcoins is just 8 years old while gold has existed for more than 1000 years. Shows the power and potential of bitcoins.

I am not investing any money in gold, I am investing in crypto and most of my investment is for long term. Rest money is in mutual funds.

Banks all over the world have started to play dirty games. On the name of minimum balance they are charging fine from poor people which is robbery in my opinion.

Why you think that all countries will follow this ? Especially , developing countries where there is lot of illiteracy are not going to follow this as many people prefer cash there.

They are just scared abotu bitcoins and are worried that it might replace banks. This will reduce their control over money and people.

If you leave the details of your investment like private keys, then your family members can access that money. Otherwise that money is lost forever.
