I see it as a very good event for bitcoin adoption
this will not only add an option to pay with bitcoins for you favorite games,but,possibly make young gamers who are not familiar with bitcoin
interested in that weird B shaped symbol that you can pay for your games with hence increasing cryptocurrency audience among the youngsters
I'm seeing steam's adoption of bitcoin as good advertisement to their million players who are using their platform. And for sure this can be a good way to make the demand of bitcoin even higher because many will see that by using bitcoin. It will give them more convenience and easy way of paying their in game items for purchasing it. Well, it's just an image appear on payment method. doesn't attract so many users I guess. Some may get interested and gonna checking out after that, but the rest will don't give attention. Though most of the people don't care about payment option. they just use what they have and they're done with the business |

Indeed, the future of bitcoin is bright, in another 2-4 years it will be huge.
The slow confirms are not a problem.
The slow confirmation will be a problem if you're wanted the transaction to be done urgently but you need to wait for at least one confirmation which rarely takes more than 15 minutes for an average time needed for a transaction to be confirmed and luckily less than 15 minutes. you're not considering it as a problem. that's okay. maybe you're not transacting so often hence you never really got the experience of waiting confirmation to arrive |

That's probably because they're fearing for their national currency, which is probably in great troubles now, or they wouldn't do it.
If their national currency (local fiat) is in trouble of having such a high inflation then their economic will also be in trouble. For the sake of keeping their economy stay in good condition then they don't have any option but banning bitcoin. It's not wrong for them, but maybe bitcoin can be an alternate option there if government just limit the usage of bitcoin. Though it's impossible to really limit the usage of bitcoin unless they put effort into it |

Not really it's against bitcoin because Satoshi had not set any rules and regulations while creating and launching bitcoin so we have full freedom of our money. We can even hold our money or use it for online transactions
yes i am sure that we can store our bitcoin for ourself and its not against with bitcoin and i am believe that satoshi will not disallow us to store or keep our bitcoin into our wallet. if satoshi does regulate bitcoin to such thing then it's really against what people said. bitcoin is freedom so it'll be the right for any bitcoin users to use their coin as their wants, whether they're going to save it or spend it doesn't really matter. and not against bitcoin even if bitcoin being used for illegal things like what've been happened on darknet. it's the right of the users |

pokemon go player decrease in a huge amount because of there always new update
Exactly especially if you do live on a third world country in which must of the people uses cheap smart phones. Everytime they do an update obviously the requirement also increase. Regarding to this, it is already off topic tho. The possibility only is that if the user decrease the potential of this idea also does Well there's also a good cheap smartphone are getting around in third world countries such as those stuffs which was made originally in china or Chinese phone it's indeed not as good as the popular brands if you're looking it from the quality but the specs are decent. really cheap but useful I'd say especially for those who can't afford even a phone which cost $150 upper |

I think the main difference is freedom and control of your own wealth, just imagine I have transact with Bitcoin this morning with ease and very low transaction cost, and also sure that my information will not be stored and used by anyone
You are wrong with it, if you are using coinbase I have read some news that the US government is obliging coinbase to get the information of their customers. The transactions covering year 2013 up to 2015, I'm not that updated if that is really a real news. That's the difference of bitcoin and real money. Transactions in real money are charging high fees unlike with bitcoin fees are very cheap. coinbase is not the only wallet available in bitcoin world and if coinbase was proven storing information about their customers just simply don't use it. use a usual desktop wallet or even hardwallet wallet then everything will be fine. though the transaction will always saved on blockchain means will be there forever |

yeah we need to use bitcoin because bitcoin is very famous and stronger currency and bitcoin is very secure currency and maximum people want to store their money in bitcoin because bitcoin is safe currency.
how can you call bitcoin is a safe haven currency while prices dangat beganti sooner or arguably fluctuate? What do you think if someone asked about this to you? I think bitcoin not exactly safe because the risk is high I think the one you quoted is referring to the security of the coin. The bitcoin you hold cannot be freeze by any government because you alone have access to it. Aside from that carrying bitcoin around is easy because you can save it in just a single piece of paper, or usb, or in your mobile phone. About the fluctuation, this is the reason why bitcoin got the interest of investors. Fluctuation that enable them to earn more. Risk is always present in every investment so I think there is no difference if you invest in bitcoin or any other investment out there, with the use of bitcoin or real money I don't get what you mean by the words I highlighted, you are suppose to check your post before hitting enter.
Anyway, it's real that bitcoin fluctuates and by putting your money in bitcoin it's already a risk, so no safe haven for me.
dangat beganti = greatly changed if you're talking about security. the wallet itself really vulnerable to cyber criminals and once the information about yourself leaked such as a private email it'll really threatening your security. The only way is to enable double authentication to improve your security. The bitcoin cannot be freeze by the government but can be seized like what just happened in Australia when they're auctioning the bitcoin they've seized from someone means it's possible |

that must be suck few MLM could and few bad guys whose problem were exposed can really screw up bitcoin's image there. i'd recommend to show some infos about bitcoin to your beloved father and explain why it's trustful. some materials could be found out in youtube. just search "bitcoin explanation videos" and everything you needs will be there.
in my country also having some MLM which use bitcoin as their currency after failing with fiat and it's really give bitcoin a bad impact among people here

Lots and lots of trading and exchange websites were available for bitcoin buying, selling and for trading needs. Personally I feel ease of trading through localbitcoins.com, as it is understandable even for a newbie without someone's help.
i guess OP don't need a site to exchange bitcoin to fiat but an altcoins trading platform for trading purpose honestly i will strongly prefer poloniex as its most known site for trading and have such a huge volume for 24 hours. the bigger volume the fastest transaction going and the demand and supply will be much more than a site which has lesser volume. and their support is not really bad i guess |

Panic selling means theres no tomorrow for bitcoin to up again.panic selling makes bitcoin price down day after day,and no chance to rise up again.
Definitely such an invalid reason stated by you. panic selling had already happened to bitcoin for multiple times and until now the bitcoin price could just go up easily and now even reached $700. Panic selling doesn't make things getting doomed, it's just a temporary selling trend and will eventually end |

Of course the manipulation is real. I'm just surprised at how late you realized it. I guess it's better late than never. I'm laughing at those who still claim it's all supply and demand, market volatility, blah blah blah, such stupidity abounds here on this stupid forum.
Supply and demand did always affected bitcoin price, I thought 'the manipulation' they discuss here about some big players (millionaire/company/exchanges) all these connected to rise and fall of bitcoin price. What kind of manipulation that you realized since the beginning except those I mentioned, if you don't mind to share. not an actual manipulation we're talking about I guess. It's just bunch of whales trying to get the advantage of the current condition by dumping or pumping and it's such a usual thing. An individual who has about a billion dollar worth of bitcoin could affect bitcoin directly with and give such a big effect compared to demands which were made by hundreds of people but only have low amount of money |

Why people insist in putting everything online? clouds, webwallets..
Just make an ring with your private key, make a tattoo under your feet, just don't trust on internet.
maybe to simplify when they're in needs of the private key immediately so they could just simply open up their cloud account and then take the private key. though cloud storage is not so secure. for an example when some celebrities' photos were taken from iCloud (yeah it's iCloud and was made by Apple). even cloud storage which was provided by a professional company like Apple and quite expensive also have a hole on it |

I think it will be a long time until they are accepted in normal stores
Cities will probably adapt first though
This is true, that it will takes too long time until that the normal store will use the bitcoin as the method of payment like the adaptation of credit card to the normal stores and most of small stores do not accept that credit card until now. almost every small stores in developed countries are accepting things like credit card or debit card. they just simply provide an EDC machine and they're now could accept any kind of cards freely. and i think if they don't provide this thing on their shop they will lose potential buyers |

i think its good deal that he want to sell his cattle for bitcoin and i think we can use bitcoin with easily and if someone send bitcoin to this person if someone is same country of this cattleman then its possible.
Yeah using Bitcoin for the payment currency is such a good option especially if he'd live in Zimbabwe. Their currency fluctuation is overwhelming. I guess no one is going to lift 1 kilogramme of money for a cattle instead of using bitcoin with ease. just hand him a phone and everything will be fine |

Since the election of Trump to the new US President yesterday, many questions about Bitcoin arise.
Will he promote Bitcoin and make it a breakthrough? Will he even officially ban Bitcoin? Will he make such a bad economic (and monetary) policy that Bitcoin will be seen as an alternative for many?
What do you think, what will a President Trump mean for Bitcoin?
i doubt it changes anything for bitcoin, until he announces any changes for digital currencies that is. But when he won the election we saw a huge spike in the price of bitcoin because everyone was switching currencies to bitcoin. Definitely. When he was getting elected the rate of USD is dumped hence people getting worried and then save it in the form of bitcoin. Though this not last so long and the US could recover their economy in just a few days afterwards. i guess the price was increased not only because the falling rate of dollar |

The danger is the price it could be fall anytime and back into nothing. But I guess whales wont allow that to happen. They have invested so much money in btc so the chance of btc getting back into nothing is no chance atm.
what's those whales can do then. their funds are not unlimited yet they can't prevent what's going on with the price whether it's falling or increasing. those whales who invested on bitcoin are actually seeking for the volatility so they can grow their funds and add its value by doing some price margin trading. they're not going to hold the price and just let it stay at the same place for a long time |

Well in my experience i face some pending sending and receive like few days ago when i was receiving my signature payment for week for 0.0147 with fee of 0.0001 satoshi and it takes a day before i receive it. this is always happening because of some wallet like coinbase you can not edit or manuallypay a fee for your transaction that can result sometimes of delay..
Also as a bitcoin user i am still not satisfied the fees this days because i experience to pay $1 in small transaction.. because the size of transaction is above 1mb,,
I hope it can be change in the future.. because we are using bitcoin because of low fee..
I agree, that is the obvious problem of using bitcoin. Cutomers are need fast and practicaly transaction. People will not like to wait and stand in supermarket although only 10 minute. I hope this problem can be solve soon. the merchant just need to accept the transaction by zero confirmation. simply checking out the fees given and be sure to be above minimum requirements. no double spend at the time by checking the address' transaction. everything would be fine and there's no need to wait since it's obviously zero confirmation |

Yesterday it even passes the 750$ mark. Do you even believe it ? Each day seems like a dream for my wallet  ! I do believe in bitcoin!! Im almost ready for christmas. Just a little bit of uptrend. And my year end is so much happy.thanks to bitcoin. 4 years ago price went to 1200 $ in two weeks, there is possibility for same thing to happen again. With only difference in what will happen after, and instead of some drop it would be great to stay high and not fall after increase. Well Christmas is really close, its nice when price is going up and everything is OK. I also hope that this trend will continue. well a bit worried when Christmas is going to come. people are forced to sell their bitcoin adding more supply while demands remain the same because they need to buy stuffs for the Christmas. even some people said that there will be a dump on Christmas (didn't really trust it though) but anything could happen right? |

Mainstream adoption is coming, get coins now while you still can
Once the whales move in, whole coins will be too expensive for the average user ( $10k+) and people will deal in Mbits or maybe even satoshis...
Yup I could wish business whales like Microsoft, HP,Walmart and more companies should accept bitcoins. These kind of will definitely make good change around the world for bitcoin market. microsoft had accepted bitcoin long ago (In December 2014) as their one of many payment options even though they ever erasing it from the list but they just get it back into their sites. ( http://www.cnbc.com/2016/03/14/microsoft-stops-accepting-bitcoin-on-windows-10.html) the news above are publishing about microsoft's apologizes and i do agree that adoption by some mainstream website will really give an affect or impact to bitcoin. may even skyrocketing the adoption |

Find Bitcoin vending machine near your place. I've read all your question above and it seems the only problem is your age, buying on an individual may help you but mostly they don't accept card due to too much fraud transaction i guess. or maybe you can try to buy a physical bitcoin which was inserted with a private key of an address containing some amount of bitcoin,it's exist if i'm not wrong
