Certainly you are having the wrong concept and idea on how the price of Bitcoin changes over time. It is not intended to just get into growth in terms of price because any type of currency, fiat and crypto does not work like that. The changes on the market allows for the price to have correction experiencing ups and downs on the prices of any currency within the market. Bitcoin is not certainly destined to experience growth because it is still a currency and not any kind of individual to have its own destiny. The pricing of it is affected by many contributing factors that affects how the price changes over time. People do experience trade losses because of duly wrong choices or decision they are making starting of on choosing the crypto as well as the way they react on how they supposedly manage their trades with sudden changes.

We cannot further conclude just like that for we still do not know what would happen right after the end of election. Also, to put into correction, not all countries are already into dealing with election this year like here in our country wherein the next national election for choosing our next president would be on year 2022. Let us just all hope that the winning party in US will serve what they have promised and will not just set aside those good platforms they have stated to convince the citizens of US to elect them as their new officials of the government. Instead of thinking the negatives, let us just all hope for good things to come along with the changing of the elected officials sitting in the White House.

The destruction of money due to the fear of bacteria or potential infection will be depending on the country's government. I am not sure but if I am not mistaken, Korea (South or North) or Japan have done such thing of burning their paper moneys at the first month of the pandemic as a way of eliminating those potential carriers but that was I think done once.

With regards to printing money by the government and central banks, covid-19 have been not an excuse but it became a cause why those two institutions have decided to do such although printing paper money would cause possible hyperinflation. It does not became an excuse but a main cause to come up into such decision.

You do not have to think or assume that Bitcoin is a scam for there are already lots of people including different governments have think of that towards Bitcoin but still they do not have any proof to state that their claim or argument is good to be true. Those were only here says and opinions for the fact that many of us are still here just only because we know the truth behind those lies and we are the living proof of how real and reliable Bitcoin is. The misconception of people towards Bitcoin is locking them to discover and explore the reality about Bitcoin not being a scam but a real deal. That information is only for those who are willing to understand it.

Change is very inevitable and anything that is existing in this world undergoes certain changes. Comparing 2014 to now which is already 2020 is now just a sense of long time memories for what have happened on the past years can or cannot be expected to happen as for now. The old times have past and we are now currently working on the present. On the old times, only few people are transacting and using Bitcoin compared to now that there are really lots which causes congestion on confirming transactions and causing high fees if you wanted to confirm your transaction in a short period of time. The price of Bitcoin have improved compared to old days so we can say Bitcoin has changed in a good way.

Indeed. No matter what amount it is, as long as you know properly how to gain profit on your investment, you still can be able to make such small capital into a big one and you can increase the amount you will spend on investing to gain higher rewards.

It is really up to you if you are going to store your funds on an exchange or into your private wallet. But for me, it is not really advisable to store funds or assets into an exchange for it is not the purpose of exchange but for a private wallet. If you are a trader, then it is good for you to store your funds into an exchange of your choice because you are accessing it from time to time and you make use of it on a basis. Unlike for long time holders since you are not still going to trade or exchange your crypto coins, better be safe to just store it into your private wallet until such time you have decided to trade those. Both exchange and private wallets serve and exist with purpose better use those accordingly.

It is great to earn and plant more seeds but you must see to it that what you are trying to plant will really bear a fruit and will not just be withered as time goes by. There is nothing wrong on earning more seeds from different bounty campaigns. You just have to be picky to earn only those that are worthy or else you will be just earning trashes instead of fruits. There is nothing wrong on long term waiting as long as you do know that what you are waiting is really worth a time and effort.

The common mistakes that people do always commit is believing that there are such ways of acquiring easy money and there is a fast money return for an investment made with a large possibility of gaining big interest which is totally a very impossible thing to exist that is very clear to be a scam scheme making people be fooled around being lured with such promises that will never make happen for how come it will be possible to pull out such great interest rate just by spending a handful of money and turn it into a big one? Even businesses won't make that possible.

There are really lots of ways on how other people can cheat on Bitcoin and those are really wise people taking advantage of other people's weakness and turn those into their favor so better do learn that easy and quick money return is impossible. Better know and classify what is real and what is fantasy to avoid being caught into scam schemes.

The dependency of an individual to other people to think that he can always be reliant on them at all times will leave you having no growth and learning on your own for you will not be able to be a good investor on being like that because you just depend on what other people will say and do and just obey and follow their path and will not make your own decision. First thing if you wanted to be an investor, better know that you must have your own money or capital for starting. As much as possible do not let yourself be dependent at first place for it is a lot more pressure and risk staking other people's money that you have no assurance when or how you can pay back. Also, do not listen to other people's opinions regarding on what to do to your investment. You have your own mind to decide. Better balance the thinking and do not let your emotions drive your decisions.

The long confirmation of your Bitcoin transaction is not a problem for it is a common scenario most specially when there is a congestion within the system due to lots of pending transactions that are all waiting to be confirmed just like the transaction you have made. You do not have to worry anything about that as long as you do know and sure that the wallet address you have inputted is sure to be correct. Now, if you are not really in a hurry, better just to wait until such time that the transaction has been confirmed. It is just normal to experience quite a long period of time to be confirmed but it will be fully processed in time. If you wanted to easily and fastly confirm your transaction, better spend a little bit of top up to prioritize your transaction to be confirmed fast.

We cannot rely on the system and expect that such system will be 100% scam free as well as hack free because in any system, hackers and scammers are always finding ways how they can intrude and execute their plans to be able to make themselves to always gain the favor upon the situation. What I think is that we must equip ourselves to be knowledgeable enough to counter such scam schemes and hacks. If those hackers and scammers are getting wiser, so we must also be with. Dealing with such wise people must be countered by being knowledgeable and wise as well. If we can be wise like them, it will be a hard time for them to gain victim. Commonly they are targeting newbies in the industry because they were not knowledgeable and easy to be fooled. But if we will be equipped with knowledge about common scams and hacks and have avoidance on that and raise awareness, then the probability of being scammed or hacked will be lessen.

The decision of whether you will spend or HODL your Bitcoin at this time of covid-19 pandemic will be dependent upon your own situation. Many would suggest that you must keep on hodling for you will be benefited once this pandemic comes to an end. Many will also say that you must spend your Bitcoin or you will die starving for keeping on holding and it will be nonsense once you die for battling on holding rather than spending to fulfill your needs to survive within this pandemic. Now the decision of spending or holding lies on your hands. No one should dictate you but just your own self for we have different situation so we must have different approaches depending upon the call of the situation. If it is not badly needed, then hold. But if it really necessary, better spend it for you can still earn it after all. Be wise on doing decision and do not get affected what people say for you will be the one to prosper or suffer.

The pandemic have gone worse as expected on countries that have early release the tight implementation of health protocols and opened up their economy right after their country have recorded a zero positive case of covid-19.

It is easy to say but hard to be executed to use the crisis in our favor for only those privileged people can use this crisis and turn into a favorable one because they have the capacity to open up even small businesses to still support their daily necessities. But if we are going to talk about less fortunate individuals, it seems like it will be really hard for them to fix things out and to think this crisis to be favorable for them. But I certainly agree that instead of thinking of all the negativities that this pandemic have brought, may we at least divert our attentions and turn this tragic situation into somehow favorable one as stated by the OP. Although it is hard, but it is the least we can do as for the now.
