I don't really understand how many job opportunities will bitcoin create directly, but indirectly it would create a few thousand jobs. Apart from that Bitcoin by all means is similar to any other currency in the world, a currency doesn't solve unemployment problem in the world. Industrialization should solve that problem.

I would sell it and go all in on alt coins at this scenario. Some new projects are doing a very good job and seems promising. I would go 30% into ETH and that is long term.
20% into ICON and that is moderate to long term. 15% into Cardano and that is moderate to long term. 15% into TRON and that is moderate to long term.
Remaining 20% into coins that are very new, that are trading for less than a dollar or few cents, having around 50 - 200 Million USD in Market cap. I would do a lot of research about their road map and the team. This is going to be short to moderate term, I expect such coins to increase few folds, maybe 4x -5x.

I would say it will hit 28K mark by the end of year 2018 and will gradually come down to 20K - 22K mark and will see a resistance from the supporters in the early 2019. Again it will start raising in prices after the drop. Time to reach 50K mark is not far away, we will see it happen in the late 2020.

Whenever there is a sudden change in price there will be a fall in price that follows before some people start resisting the price fall.

I do believe they deserve their wealth, they trusted this blockchain technology, no matter what. Bitcoin was said to be worthless in all the mainstream media until a time when those media addressed it properly. These early adopters still held on to bitcoins trusting what bitcoin can do. It's not pure luck, there's some math to it, some serious calculation and risk involved in it.

Bitcoin's price will fall before it will again rise up at least till the end of year 2018. By no means, it will go below the 10 grand mark. Lot of people call it a bubble that will burst and go down to dust, that will never happen. Chances of price dropping to 10 grand mark itself is unlikely. Feb - March 2018 will be the best time to buy Bitcoin as it will be the years lowest price.

I feel, Ripple will be the 3rd known cryptocurrency after Ethereum. After all the attention it got in late 2017 and also it has got the 2nd target market cap after Bitcoin and has a huge supply.

1. Bitcoin
2. Ethereum
3. Ripple

Definitely not, Poverty can be ended only with Humanity. If bitcoin is accumulated with the wealthy 10% of the population, the remaining 90% will live in poverty only. Bitcoin has nothing to do with ending poverty.

That would be a big mess, a group of people without a leader is dangerous to the society and self. Let's say the people overthrow the government and take control of things themselves and choose their own leader, then forms a new government with different rules. Doesn't make sense right.

If I was you, I would diversify the investment as
25% in Ripple (XRP has gone down by 30% from its all time high, so it's better to buy now)
25% in Cardano (the future for Cardano looks promising)
20% in Stellar (many multinationals seems to be interested in this coin)
20% in TRON (TRX is widely expected to grow 5-6X times in 2018)
10% in ReddCoin (this is a kind of a gamble, if all the market reseacrh is to be believed, this coin will give you 10x returns)

Keep in mind that you should be holding these investments at least until 2019/2020. Panic selling will end up loss only.

Definitely, why not?
All you have to do is to hold on to your BTC for longer period. At the rate of increase of BTC's current value and acceptability, I assume you would buy a Porsche in 5 years. Good luck!

Sure, it will extinct. It will take a lot of years for the eastern countries to follow the foot steps of the western countries. Until and unless these governments are sure to track the crytpocurrency transaction from it's citizens, it is not safe for them to implement them which would encourage money laundering.

I believe it is both currency and an asset. But it is not good when a lot of people consider it just as an asset/investment. Or at least until it is widely accepted all over the world. The goal is to make it widely accepted even in the remotest place, to buy a coffee in Himalayas, in Nepal. In other words, the circulating supply should roar.

To me the bitcoin is worthier than FIAT currency, for example the buying power of bitcoin increased these years and the buying power of FIAT currencies went down these years.

OIL? This is the first time I hear about investing in OIL. I will not do it any time soon. The bad days are ahead, the big recession is coming soon.

Start an International children's School, Definitely you will be rich very sooner. Every parent in the world is ready to pay any amount of money for their children's education.

Its 65-35, Bitcoin to Gold. I am not going to spend gold, but I will spend some of the bitcoins. That is how I contribute to the Bitcoin Ecosystem.

Russia?? Russia is one of the countries that wants to ban Bitcoin. I don't think it will be safe to be in Russia. Switzerland would be better.

Comparing BTC which is equal to 10000 USD, USD will be worthless. But still people will be using USD, unless and until BTC is accepted globally or atleast oil giant countries accept BTC for their petrol.

OMG! $700 million USD to BTC, when he cash it out after years he will be insanely rich, the richest. But it depends on how much years he holds it.
