I think the purpose of Bitcoin isn't about engaging the world in an economic war but rather to provide freedom to the users. Through Bitcoin, we were able to trade freely especially when the product is not locally available and also if it exist online. This I think is one of the ways to utilize Bitcoin. We can observe the news that major countries around the world are pondering about the idea of blockchain and accepting the fact that they can't truly control it that's why they are considering to release their own cryptocurrency backed by their central bank and even gold.

I think everyone knows that but the thing is that the halving exist in order to keep up with the rising price of Bitcoin as well as to extend the reward that the miners receives because if there is no halving then all or almost the supply of Bitcoin are mined. Also, with Bitcoin the prices are deflating and I think this is a good thing since we don't get to lose the value of our assets unlike in fiat where you need to spend it rather than saving it especially when we talk about long term since the value gradually declines.

Isn’t that the reason why in the past, printing fiats depends on the gold and silver reserve of the country since it has no real value unlike gold that’s why it is always backed up and unlike now where fiats like USD for example is very strong hence they could stand these test but of course it is still prone to inflation. Bitcoin on the other hand is decentralized and have limited supply compared to fiat which nowadays can be printed with no real restrictions.

We do know all we can see in the blockchain is the record of transactions that have been made but not the details and who those people are. You can search it on the net or anywhere where traces are left but honestly I can’t really say in what way would it help corruption but if you are saying it with regards to Blockchain only then I would say it is possible to create a cryptocurrency with this feature but why would those who are corrupt use it then it would comes down how the government would sell it to their citizens.

We can’t really say how negligent the owner is since we are talking about $24 million worth of bitcoin then surely he had gone through possible security that he could muster in order to protect his assets but the thing is these criminals would always find a way and as the technology evolves then so as their methods. At this time, I think it would be smarter if we buy a cold wallet where details regarding that wallet along with the private keys should never been recorded kr transmitted digitally but rather a person should keep it physically and store it somewhere safe or if you can memorize it then why not but that would be too risky.

I honestly don’t really expect much about halving as major factor for the price to turn around though I am hopeful for other big news that would come like what would China do with Bitcoin and those who are mining it whether they could somehow negotiate these miners to lend their hash power with their newly soon to be released cryptocurrency. Will Argentina’s economic crisis would continue to interest people in amassing Bitcoin and would go to point where it would somehow become a significant factor for the price to rose up?

If you join earlier that is before the ICO starts which the number of participants is quiet low then you would definitely get a decent amount of tokens or coins. But what I'm looking for really is the percentage of the supply that they are willing to give to the bounty participants since I think that's better than by setting the amount of token which I don't know how much it really is since you can't rely to their ICO price since as we know that it mostly doesn't reach it when the time comes that they will list in an exchange but sometimes they would not even list it and just ran away.

Well you will always have the feeling that this new national cryptocurrency launched by the state and backed by the central bank would be backed by gold or/and silver for example as what any fiat who had started had been done but eventually they would cut the national reserve with the fiat making them able to print as much fiat as they want and I am afraid that it would be the case when they run these new cryptocurrencies. What cryptocurrency would they run? Is it decentralized which I hardly think they would do it? Is the supply of cryptocurrency finite?

That’s the challenging part really. Since taxes are needed to run a country and provide opportunities to the people then I also do believe that it is impossible for a taxless society to foster. It would eventually weaken the security and the welfare of the people. The thing about choosing a leader is that these politicians would try to sell themselves with good promises but when put on the post they would not be able to uphold it. And sometimes to select a leader is quiet limited like in the US where there are only two partylist and two running president and you would have no choice but to choose which is less worse than the other.

I would definitely sell at the right time before the price would reach its peak. I think waiting for the right time at that time is are not really waiting for it but  rather they are greedy and hopeful that it would go further. A suspecting person would notice it immediately that something was pff because new ATHs are going on for months and I think that’s very unusual considering the price when the year had begone. No one had been expecting that and surely I would sell half of my BTC just to secure the profit and slowly sell it as it goes up.

I think it is hard to say that. I knew some women who are into with cryptocurrency more than some of my guy friends. I think it is more than just the gender if you think about it. It just so happened that the number of males who are into with technology especially some nerdy stuff than female though it is a matter of what the person's interests are. It all comes down to their environment and how open minded they are in accepting this new kind of way to earn by trading.

Maybe the time that you are saying is when the time where the price pf Bitcoin would be much more stable because for now since there are a lot of potential for price to shoot up then people had been treating as a form of investment seeing how valuable it is than using it on commerce. Though there are people, business who are using it for commerce but some people aren’t willing to spend it but rather they would prefer to hoard it or just trade it. I think is farther in the future for this would happen.

This is a waste of time. But the other ways that you had mentioned would earn you quiet a decent amount of BTC. Though people coming to Bitcoin or in cryptocurrency in general expecting free money is funny. Even though you don't use real cash to buy Bitcoin but in order to acquire it you need to pour your time and effort along with your skills which some of it you can learn online like editing. You can practice the way you construct your words in a forum like this one. It is a matter of dedication and hardwork.

Your concern is my concern also. Though in the moment there are implementations in the blockchain of Bitcoin where the transaction fee is quiet lower compared in the past especially in the time where the blockchain had been flooded by many transactions which a lot of people suspect that there was a group spamming the blockchain which later on been overwhelmed and the transactions would get through for days leading people to use higher transaction fee. I hope that it would not happen again in the future as more people would be inclined to use Bitcoin as mode of payment.

I don't really know what you suggest. Are you implying to just earn cryptocurrency to avoid tax or just avoid tax in general? The major consequence that I can think of is facing legal charges. Tax helps the country in some ways don't you think. The road and other public facilities that you enjoyed using along with security and health are all from the people's purses.
I find this funny.
With the presence of cryptocurrency then it is possible but not totally. I use bank because of necessity but if not then I would appreciate my funds in cryptocurrency.
If you've got a really nice idea for business then it is worth taking the risks for just like in the cryptoworld where risks is everywhere and here we are. Rich families all around the world have businesses right and with money comes power and influence along with fame.

Theoretically, it's possible that's why I disagree with your statement that cryptocurrency could not be stable. Prices face volatility and minimizing this volatility into a certain point where the changes aren't that significant i.e. including the stocks, cryptocurrencies and even the products we buy. It is a matter of how huge the market is meaning a market with higher volume would tend to have higher resistance and wall in so in a sense the prices would appear to be stable due to low volatility or rather the movement of the price is minimal.

The thing is that most of these altcoins aren’t paired with fiat but with Bitcoin only hence if Bitcoin’s price go up or down then it would affect them. Although Bitcoin might not be the first but the thing is that it had given itself a name and been the most dominant coin in the market for years now. No coin had been able to lose its dominance even for a second this past few years. The thing is that it is not a speculation and the moment you labeled this as a speculation means that you haven’t familiarize yourself on how the cryptomarket behaves.

Since Satoshi Nakamoto is smart enough to come up with Bitcoin which required tremendous flow of idea and predicting what would it be like far from the future that’s why we have what we called “halving” and many other more. This I think is one of the proof that Nakamoto had hidden himself behind this name since he knew that it would be controversial if his identity would be known and is essential for Bitcoin to become decentralized in a way that they could not be taken from the people by exploiting him as the weak link and also for his personal security. That’s why I think that he is smart enough to hide himself in order for the governments would kot do anything to him as what your question said.

You can also take advantage of volatility which traders would truly understand how massive their profits are by utilizing this. The funny thing about Bitcoin is, no matter how much its price falls down, in general it always surpasses its previous lows if you try to look at the chart. What you should do is to think rationally and look forward for the long run than focusing on short term because if no then maybe Bitcoin is not for you. You may consider finding another that would go the way you expected for it to go which you would not find anyway.

They could always sell it if they want to. I see nothing that surprises me because I don’t really find it unusual. Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency do have high volatility because it is very unlike in the stock market especially when compared to gold which the prices are a lot stable because of the volume of the market and the cryptomarket had not yet achieved that kind of massive volume in the market for the prices to be stabilized. There are a lot of pumps and dumps lately but in the long run we are sure to profit and the cryptoworld.
