Many countries are reconsidering their attitude towards crypto currencies now, but it will take time untill we get a stable and really defines situation.

Everything is in progress - there are new more advanced currencies developed every week, and it is only a question of time when they will reach Bitcoin or even overcome it. The main advantage of Bitcoin is it's popularity, which has a snowball effect to itself, but it can change with time.

Russia is banning Telegram and other communication channels, but will legitimize cryptos? Nothing is final or really true in this country.
 

There is a possibility, that some "highly populated" coins could be "saved" by other more lively coin communities. It is their interest to attract more "colleagues" to the coin community.

It refreshed my mind, it reminded me that there is always something new and interesting happening in the world. I also realized, that our world is based on people's opinion more than on any other "realistic" factor. I am spending a lot of time on reading about crytpos now, so I am growing fat because of passive lifestyle.

Predicting unpredictable is something that shamans do. I would not call this "estimation".

Just as with any other knowledge - you have to read a lot and think.

It is very difficult because there is very little you can say, that could be new in this forum, particularly when you are fresh here. Of course this system of merits is more favourable to old users than to newbies and that is not very good.

There are hundreds of measures to be done to regulate crypto currencies, but no one can do that because it is decentralized.

Facebook has an established reputation already and it could make a strong competitor to many cryptos if it only released its coin. I think this is very serious.

Good point. Could be that you gain one safety against losing another.

Beef or pica is almost the same. Why not though?

It is not easy to prove, but situations when people are illegally using your money can occur in many situations where they have access to it. However I trust that major exchanges have mechanisms to avoid that and if there is a need - can prove that. Otherwise they would bring themselves to great danger.

I feel there is a lack of common sense. There is too much mystery and uncertainty.

Before you buy or sell - consult your astrologist or at least read 2 horoscopes at 2 different sources. Only the stars can tell for sure if it is worth making moves or not.

Imagine that some respectable country would go far beyond legalizing cryptocurrency and start one of its own. It would surely be no scam and it would probably have a strong support, but would there be any drawbacks to the currency and the state itself? Would it get more attention than some of the biggest coins now?

Indeed it is a strange behavior, because normally when one asset rises, the others have to go down with respect to the one that rises. Perhaps its one of the many mysteries of crypto currencies.

It is number 6 by marketcap, which means it is one of the most trusted ones. However you should make your own invesitgation how it compares to others, particularly if you are diving into long term investment.

Unless you know the future - you cannot always sell on the highest point and buy on the lowest. But only when you see the the tendency of current situation - to go up or down - you can make a decision to trade. Therefore you buy when it is going up and sell when it is going down.
