I think bounty programs won't be gone anytime soon. This would benefit those who are seeking to earn extra income. To reference, I don't think this will be considered gifts, more of opportunities. Bounty hunters help in promoting campaigns and the people behind these campaigns benefit from it. It's a good two-way street in my opinion.

There are a couple of resources that can be used. In general, the internet is the best and all you have to do is check on what's going on around the world of crypto currency. Also, if you know people who are into this kind of trading/investing, you can ask for their input.

No, you can't. That is if you're talking about straight deposit (bitcoin going straight to the bank). As what has been suggested, get a local exchange that will convert your bitcoins to real cash. Have that cash moved to your virtual wallet then deposit in a bank.

I think that it does have an effect on economy. Let's look at the fact that a lot of people who otherwise didn't have any means of earning found their niche in BTC. It may change the lifestyle of a lot of people. There are people who want to get rich via BTC in order to help their communities in one way or another then there are those who will focus on uplifting their own way of living. It has the capability to expand the buying power of people.

This could go either way. At best, we can view trends and make predictions but that's all we got. I guess it's going to be a waiting game but it wouldn't hurt to be positive. 

I would agree that BTC (and any other alt coins for that matter) will be a game changer. Though I won't really say that it's going to be the end all and be all. It will change lives for sure as it changed mine. We just have to be smart with how we manage our resources.

Considering ETH's performance, it would be a safe bet to invest in them. Sure, it may dump at some point but it does have the capability to go back up at the soonest.

I think the general idea here is to be smart about it. Whether you sell or hold will still have their associated risks. If you got Bitcoins to spare, observe the trends and be prepared to sell some if the price peaks. Personally, if I do decide and sell some (or even one) bitcoin, I wouldn't really go back and think if I made the right choice. I don't need any regrets when I sell.

Bitcoin really did have a steady increase of public interest over the years. I have to agree though, that 2017 was the breakout year for it. With the amount of attention that it's getting, I think it's safe to assume that some level of regulation will be put into it.

Thanks!

No way. Unless they shutdown all miners, bitcoin will never end. Price may go down but it will strive maybe for a few years more.

We have the same regret. My other regret is getting into trading without any prior knowledge and just played around with it. Lost a lot due to FOMO and FUD. If I had just waited, profits will be huge.

Well it IS dangerous in a sense that if you invested in it and it just crashes then you lose money. I wouldn't worry about it though since lots of people backs BTC.

It can also be used for dubious things like scams and money laundering. Criminals can move large amounts of money around without anyone knowing it.

That's correct. 2018 looks promising for bitcoin as people are amazed at its performance last year from start to end. I think there will be a rally for BTC this year to reach an all time high.

2018 looks very promising for the cryptocurrency industry. I'm expecting lots of development in the coins to be competitive in the market, especially Bitcoin which is suffering a huge slowdown lately due to network traffic.

Win some, lose some in trading. Right now, I'm going to join campaigns in order to gain bitcoins. Trading is too much work.

There may be some truth to this since 2017 is just a start. Crypto may go wild or be tamed depending on other countries take on it. Sure hope that this year sees a fruitful business for bitcoin.

There will be ways to identify the user but it will be very difficult and most probably involve the highest level of importance (like global) and lots of resources to get it. No one would bother to find you.

Be a programmer then invest in bitcoin with your salary. Being a trader is hard work and takes a lot of your time especially if you are a day trader. With a regular job, you can just invest money and hold while having s steady income.

This is the start for cryptocurrency. Taxing by the US is OK as long as they let crypto be traded in their country. It's better than the alternative where they ban bitcoin because of it's power to replace the dollar.
