Danger of cryptocurrencies? The limit of its users, they cannot handle who is the users of bitcoin, a young or adult, the danger there is they can access anything they want illegal.

I guess the biggest problem posed cryptocurrencies just had a major impact on the government, because it does not create a government benefit, only the illegal transactions that should be stopped. but, for a businessman, I think most of the most cyptocurrencies provides a great advantage.
Crypto as it is right now, is too small to form somewhat of an impact on the governments. But that obviously will change in the coming years as this industry will grow larger and larger. I think that's exactly why they start putting up all kinds of regulations. It means that things are getting serious now. It's not 2011/2013 anymore where you could just buy Bitcoin, trade it, cash it out, etc, without any problems. Now even the smaller exchanges force people to verify themselves according to the various levels of verification they work with. I agree, with the bitcoin value increasing over time and more people starting to invest in use it to make a ton of money there is no doubt that governments will start imposing some financial laws on people making money from bitcoin, in other words we will have to start paying taxes to governments for every bitcoin we own, other threats is that cryptocurrency are used without id or any personal verification which means it can be used not only for illegal things like buying drugs or hacking but also for frauds and bribes which imposes a serious problem for governments.

That will not happen too soon yet, the users of bitcoin is not that big to alarmed the government, they cannot tax us anymore as we have already paid the right taxes every time we spend our fiat. Bitcoin is just a payment system and it was recognized that way by the government for now so no worries.

That's outside the topic of cryptocurrencies. I've never found someone who's been lurking around bitcointalk, reddit, or any other forum and then just end up being somewhere in the deep web. Since you have to install TOR browser first and all that, you can't simply end up going to the deep web and have access to illegal stuffs "accidentally". You had a choice as an individual. You can't blame that to bitcoins because it's simply a currency that was made for us to have transactions with other people around the world.

If you look at various decentralized exchanges, then they all have one thing in common, their fiat "integration" is forming a huge obstacle
I think that's exactly the reason as to why there isn't any real demand for such exchanges. It's great that you can trade crypto for another crypto, but people want fiat trading pairs in the exact same decentral manner. I was looking at Tether (USDT) to see whether or not it will be a great addition, but even here you depend on a central authority, plus you are subject to KYC policies, and thus it trashes the decentral aspect of such exchanges. I don't see how this problem will ever be solved.

You are probably aware of the recent news about removing the fiat money for good and building up the cashless world.
Have you thought that bitcoin maybe the first step of this utopia? What if CIA behind this project? Would you still keep your money as bitcoins? Would you trust them? Do we know who the hell is Satoshi Nakamoto? I suure don't.
There is one big danger ahead. If the paper money gets removed, you will have no choice but to accept to get paid in crypto currencies. And to the big point:
If you keep your money in a goddamn computer, the government can rip you off instantly if they wanted it. I am not saying they aren't doing that already as most of us are keeping *our wealth in the banks. But cryptos will make their jobs easier. Much easier.
What if bitcoin price rises to 1.000.000$ and gold and USD become literally worthless? That's when bitcoin will be the world currency, and people gonna realise that gold is just a stone, USD is just a toilet paper.
Your won't have another choice but to store your money only in crypto, because the other choices will be worthless!
I am not sure if that's a good thing. Being dependent so much on computers just scares me.
That is an interesting point of view, but I think there is nothing to be afraid of. First of all, even though bitcoin is quite famous, still the majority of world population have no idea about it, so it will take a plenty of time till everyone would be familiar with bitcoin. Talking about gold, just think for how long it has already existed and is has never been worthless. So why should it lose its value? Gold is just a way to make a good investment, there could be other precious gems, or real estate, etc. And about USD, maybe it will no longer work, because, pure and simple, BTC is much more handy.

You can't blame that to bitcoins because it's simply a currency that was made for us to have transactions with other people around the world. Dark market requires usage of TOR browser, and on top of that finding out the URL is notoriously difficult. Also, many of the dark markets close after 2-3 months of operations (often going AWOL with their users' funds). You will end up buying contraband from dark markets only if you are really tech savvy, and comfortable with spending some of your valuable time in finding out the URL and reviewing the feedback.

Tehnicly we are in era of internet communications and this is why i think its not dangerous but more something else, i mean danger is present if they use bitcoin for buying guns drugs and other illegal activities then yes.
Yes the capability of human to avail illegal thing can possibly take by crypto. And so with young people because in crypto no age limit as long as you are able to read and understand the internet community you are able to access it so there is the danger, as there is no limit of accessing things using cryptos.

I don't see how this problem will ever be solved. I with my limited technical understanding of how to properly implement fiat into a decentralized exchange system, also can't think through a possible solution, or even a theoretical solution. Whatever you do, you'll always depend on payment services to deposit and withdraw fiat. That gives traditional exchanges still the lead, but people alternatively can head over to peer to peer trading in case they want to surpass exchanges with all their ridiculous policies.

While governments can control local exchanges they certainly can't foreign ones, and as long as there are as many governments out there as there are countries in the world we can sleep more or less calm. On the other hand, it is very hard to track down purely online businesses which exchanges very well fit into. Combining these two separately operating factors, we come to a conclusion that there is still plenty of room void of any possible regulations. Therefore, if there is a demand for anonymous exchanges there will always be some since there are neither governments nor borders in cyberspace (and thus no regulations)
That's why it's more important than ever to have proper decentralized exchanges. It will allow all people to bypass all kinds of governmental interferences. If you look at various decentralized exchanges, then they all have one thing in common, their fiat "integration" is forming a huge obstacle (in regards to staying fully decentralized). Coin to coin trades are fully decentralized, but there must also be a way to offer decentralized fiat/coin trading options. So far none of the 'decentralized' exchanges have managed to do so I don't think this is the major issue As to me, the major issue why they are not very popular overall is sooner linked to delays, i.e. time it takes to make a trade or just place an order. With centralized exchanges like Bitstamp or Poloniex, it takes a few moments to place an order and see it appear in the orderdbook. Obviously, this is not the case with any decentralized exchange out there since to make a trade irreversible an order should be written on the blockchain first. With instant payments (e.g. via payment channels established by Lightning Network nodes), that would be a non-issue. In reality, placing orders through these channels may happen even faster since centralized exchanges are artificially adding delays since they are most certainly waiting for easy money which they get by front-running the orders of their clients. Regarding gateways to fiat, this is not an issue either. If a decentralized exchange becomes part of the coin protocol itself, any centralized exchange listing this coin and trading fiat will have to accept the trades that happen inside this coin network (otherwise it won't be able to list this coin). Thus centralized exchanges will work as gateways to fiat just like they work today

This is a small price to pay besides it is not like you cannot access all kind of illegal service and product with fiat already, bitcoin just seems to make it a little bit easier to some people.

However, for us users there is nothing to worry as we only uses bitcoin as payment system to fast track transactions. When it comes to evaluating the system, I would say it's almost perferct with some minor flaws but if it's the government action to ban this, end of story.

Yeah it is very true. Most people who use illegal crypto comes from, but it is not a problem. Because crypto they use for their own interests and we do not do this, they use the crypto for illegal things because it is the ease with which can be obtained in the crypto can they enjoy the presence of anpa sense alert caught by law enforcement authorities. Because most of the people who conduct transactions in the crypto untraceable and unknown who the owner so it's a very lucrative illegal users

You're still a bitcoin investor unless you have zero balance in your wallet and then you just buy more bitcoins whenever you're going to have a transaction with someone and then you sell all your bitcoins right away when you receive some. Personally, I have most of my money in bitcoin form. I didn't invest at all and by definition I'm just a bitcoin user. If the price of bitcoin goes down because of some reasons, then I will be just as devastated as those people that really invested in bitcoins. I wouldn't worry that much about the government banning bitcoins because bitcoin has caused that much noise or fuss yet in the society. The government will not think of us as a threat although we can be potentially a threat to them because bitcoin removes the government from being the third party when we're doing transactions.

Even if you are holding a small amount of bitcoin and your intent is to use it as fast as possible you are still invested in bitcoin since you have some of it, so all of us are invested in bitcoin, so bitcoin losing value is a risk we are all taking.

It depends on the Cryptocurrency. Fiat could get printed even more than it is right now -the Cryptocurrencies could assist the people that are printing the money just from laundering the money then shutting the Cryptocurrencies down after they get the amount that they wanted. As for Bitcoin vs Altcoin, the whole point of an Altcoin is pretty much so that people could waste their money. If the Altcoins were worth it then they would just use the Altcoins and not have to transfer the coin to Bitcoins.
