There is nothing wrong with bitcoin, it remains a pioneer and the coin with the most value at the moment. The votality is part of the attraction and unless you are a losing trader, it shouldn't be a big deal. Sure the technology could improve. You should change the thread title to the future of "Minexcoin"

It may not be a scam, but there are a lot of questions which their representative is not answering. 

Not every one can come to the meeting in Japan, how about making some effort to answer some of the concerns raised in this thread.

I tried searching for the Beth team online, and so far I've had no luck. It doesn't bode well,

I am trying to hold as much as I can. It ain't easy, I spend a bit when it is absolutely necessary to. I also think the bitcoin ecosystem needs people to spend, trade, exchange. Imagine if all the early adopters held their bitcoin.

Dogecoin has been in serious decline on its development side.This has been ongoing for some time now. And things continue this way, it wouldn't last long as a serious coin.

doge needs new features, but this is not happening at the moment as there is no active development. And without development the network will organically wind down.

I once used a bitcoin ATM a while back, I was very excited to use on, until I saw the fees and I thought never again! 12% fees on my total transaction was more than I could bear. The fee was much higher than using my visa card. I never used it again ever since.

Trading is generally frustrating, and it requires a lot of patience to be successful.

Since I am not a very patient person and I wasn't making any profits, I decided to code a bot to do my trading for me.

It felt like a good idea, and everything was running smoothly, until the bot failed to fire on a day I wasn't monitoring it, and left me deep in red.

By all accounts, this will be a centralized coin. A "national virtual currency". Expect more countries to jump on the bandwagon and create their own coin.

This will nothing like bitcoin, It will be the blockchain/cryptographic version of the Russian rouble, controlled by the Russian central bank and the government. Nothing more.

Don't be too sure, anything can still happen.The price could skyrocket as suggested, but it could also plummet. Whatever happens, this is a very important month for bitcoin. I can see it consolidate $2500 at the very least.

For sports betting, there is betbtc.co and fairlay. Although I get the impression that someone or a group are behind seeding fairlay bets.

Fairlay has more liquidity compared to betbtc,  but betbtc offerw live betting, although liquidity is quite low. They both are the closest thing to pvp/betfair/exchange betting.

You already have a lot of great answers here, but I want to share another very easy non technical way for cold storage.

2 Follow the directions! (Super simple)

4 Deposit funds to your public key.
5 Check https://etherchain.org/ for your account balance by entering in your public key in the search box.
6 **optional (HODLLLLL)

Trading is risky especially day trading, which could lead to massive losses. It takes a special type of person to short trade.

As an investment however,  without knowing what the future holds, holding your coins for a very long time is profitable. But then it won't be "trading"

Mining on the other hand,  can be very profitable of you have a large capital. I won't advice to do it small scale.

There are startups making this service available include Onename and Netki. Their services are built on top of Namecoin, a blockchain Domain Name System (DNS) platform.

You should be careful though, it is risky depending on third parties to generate/customise wallet addresses. There could be security breaches if your private keys are leaked.

For partial customization,  you could try vanitygen.

If you don't mind gambling investments, you can try moneypot.

Invest in their global bank roll, but be aware that, investing there, like every other investment does not guarantee a profit.

If you are looking for long term passive income just buy bitcoins and sit on it.

Hi, just so you know, I upgraded my signature to member from junior member. pls adjust accordingly, if possible,  whenever you deem fit. Thanks for the opportunity

I usually don't recommend using online web wallets, but on the rare occasions that I use one, I use mycelium for android. It is possibly one of the best android web wallets, but I treat it like I would a normal physical wallet.

I don't put in more than I can afford to lose by accident in it, In my case, maximum $200 equivalent in bitcoins. You have to be careful though, if there is a malware out there that can grab your private keys, it could spell trouble.
