You are right even recieving 0.01 BTC from others would really be already an impossible thing to happen to us because we do know people are accumulating btc as much as they can because of it is a valuable thing. If someone give you 1 BTC then it would really be a good gift for this holiday season and there would be already lots of things to be purchased on that amount.

This is one of the effects on where we do have totally converted to cashless transactions which people do become lazy but well this is one of the most sole purpose on creating cashless transactions which we would really have the convenience on buying things but when in regards on surveillance which have being mentioned on OP i would say it is all tracked because we are using a centralized thing which government can really anytime see on what we do spend and our behavior when it comes to our transactions which is really normal thing.

You are preferring on those coins that you do recieve on bounty campaigns which you would really able to convert it to ETH if the coin is being listed on an exchange which means risk of having no salary is always there because not all coins are being listed on exchanges after a certain bounty campaign ends which means you would really have no salary at all since those coins doesnt have value at all and to say that not all ICO price on coins are directly the same when they are being already listed because most of the time the price would really be more lesser as you expect.

He takes all the blame generally into bitcoin with just seeing on the situation of those hacking incidents and with its volatile price which isnt really right to blame it as a scam coin.It do really matter on exchange security why they are being hacked and bitcoin has nothing to do with it and its normal for hackers or criminal minds to took illegal action just to take those bitcoin knowing that it do have high value. Even on fiat cases this thing do really happen.

Not surprising thing at all which this thing goes the same on bitcoins situation on where if theres a congestion into the network fees do rise up as well which means it would really be a normal thing to happen on these kind of scenarios and situation of ETH is not an exception. Just been said above i do expect there would really be more project coming up like cryptokitties and would really fucked up this ETH network for sure.

Price dump? Its normal because people do tend to sell of their coins on huge volume which we can able to see price decrease which is normal on this volatile market of crypto.Its just a simple economics subject regarding on supply and demand of a certain thing. The higher the demand the price increase, The more supply than on demand then expect prices would really be low.Its just like that.

Im with you regarding on this stuff which i was little bit shocked when there are lots of newbies posting off positive feedbacks on this terrible exchange which its really obvious that its just 1 person if you do try out to read and compare their words and constructions of words are just the same.I dont know if they are being paid or not but as you said the community isnt that dumb enough to believe those fake feedbacks because we do know that this exchange do really have lots of issues. Shitty support plus lots of Shitty coins inside.

Stable? It wont happen and dont expect that bitcoin would really reach that state since Bitcoin is always been volatile and wont really be stable.If you dont like and dont feel good on it then better not to engage to bitcoin because it would really just stress you out on its volatile price. It may rise and It may go down anytime which you least expected this is why its being favorite by most short traders and even on long term investors.

Not only on the miners but you would need to screw up the community who do engage on it which we can see that it is really an impossible thing to do. We do see a strong support which mean it cant be easily screwed by them and would really still remain thats why they decided to ban or prohibit it either.If fiat currencies do crash then expect cryptocurrencies value would be mainly affected knowing that they do base on fiat itself too.

You would really need to know atleast the basic before you would decide to jump into trading because it would really be hard for you to trade directly without any knowledge inside of your brain because all of the things you would really do would really just act as a gambling because you are trading without any proper information and knowledge about it which means higher chances of losing. Knowledge would always be weapon on anything that we do tend to do. Even on real life situations we dont know nothing on anything this is why we do really need to experience.

They wont bother to accept bitcoin but rather they would able to accept on the coin being made by government since they do know that people on that place will surely get involve on that one since its being recommended and backed by gov't. I dont see a reason that Banks would decide to tie up with bitcoin since they do know its capabilities and the things that can be done.It can stand alone and be really an enemy against on a centralised system.

New stories indeed and there are lots of questions regarding assurance of its investors for sure they wont able to answer such thing and it is already common to have these kind of stories which we have been able to read up for a hundred times on this forum.It is somehow obvious for us on what would be the ending of this kind of proposal which would really have lots of criticisms.If you do propose an investment investors would normally seek out for a strong collateral or assurance.

1) What does regulation mean in practice? Is it like they want to register people who invest or something? Is it all about taxes?
This is true,they would tend to regulate for them to monitor on the incoming and outgoing of transactions or simply they do have the power.
2) Why does governments want to regulate crypto?
They want to regulate because if people would tend to make investments it would really affect their financial state.
3) I see "securities" a lot when googling regulation. Are only coins/tokens that governments deem to be securities in danger of regulation?
I dont think so

4) What are the drawbacks (& advantages?) for an investor who discovers his/her crypto investment is to be regulated?
Advantage for this one is that we can somehow assure that we would able to avoid scams since they are already regulated not a decentralized stuff.

1 or 2 or appropriate but there are really some impatient person who do tend to send out 23 or more tickets believing that they can able to get the attention of their support which i do see thats still useless and would rather adding up on the amounts of email being recieved which would really cause even more delay.I admit that they do really have support nowadays not compared into those earlier years on its service which they are really attentive but now they are slow as turtle and they should really take concern on this one.

Follow signal services isnt really bad but if i were you better to focus to learn on your own since not all of those pair signal services would really be worth to join too. Some of them would really charge up for those signals.When it comes to probability on making money then this thing cant really be answered since we wont able know on how much money we do abale to earn basing into their signals.

For BTC then it would happen since its uncontrollable unlike on E-currency which being converted from their own local fiat then its possible. They can really make this thing happen if they do like to switch to e-currency which i do beleive it would be rather be used than on bitcoin itself.People will always use on those things who are being backed by the government which means replacing it would really be an impossible thing. If government wont able to ban or stop bitcoin they would instead make their own.

I dont know why do people still surprised on these kind of scenarios which its just like first time that they do able to see alts going on reds which is normal when bitcoins price shoots up or do have some price increase rally. Most of alts in the market would really be on reds since people do accumulate bitcoin as much as they can so that they wont able to miss the wave on making profits and mostly things do happen is when theres a possible fork event or even on holidays which we do able to see now.

Agree into this one which is actually true because people now are focusing mainly on bitcoin specially on this surging prices which they wont really tend to see another altcoins in the market but i would say when the hype is already over better to secure out positions on launching ICO because in times of profit taking people will really switch back to altcoin investment. Not a sure thing but its a possible one and i have seen these scenarios for how many times.

No one would really be able to do such thing since we do have always on doubt and shorting bitcoin on a short period of time would really be a hard decision since we wont know on when it would be the best spot to take profits but lucky for me i did able to sell out on AHT levels which it did make me money because my intuition do help me that this might the top of this price rally and i was actually right.It did able to drop fast going back to 9k levels.

Come to think of that if theres a negative side there would always a positive side which i do agree on what you are saying here. We might hate banks but the fact that we are using it ever since and it does really contribute and help us when it comes to loan they do really have enormous high interest rates but we are really obliged to pay up since we did agree on to their terms.For now even on bitcoins existence banks would really be commonly used because of the security that it gives.
