Experienced investors like to invest in these, rather than larger coins, because these coins are usually very cheap initially and have the potential to 1000x in value, whereas a larger coin may be limited to relative market cap.
Most coins have extremely low volume these coins are very llliquid, and may result in strange price behavior, such as when they oscillate between two very different prices.

Experienced investors like to invest in these, rather than larger coins, because these coins are usually very cheap initially and have the potential to 1000x in value, whereas a larger coin may be limited to a 10x gain due to relative market cap.

Essentially forcing the cryptocurrencies underground like a drug cartel thereby adding to de-legitimisation. The media alongside a covert multi-government effort could conduct several propaganda campaigns to sway public opinion that the cryptocurrencies are either a massive scam or somehow bad.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2678937.msg29371697#msg29371697Short answer: noBitcoin is global, meaning one country shutting it down can’t kill it. With that said, japan shutting it down may actually do some damage because of how much volume transacts there.
China has banned it….multiple times. Russia banned it. Other countries have banned it. Yet here it is, at an all time high. It may or may not stay this high and more governments may try to regulate it, but at this stage Bitcoin simply won’t die - too many people have a lot of faith.
If you mean the US specifically, I think the people of the States are too demanding to let an asset like this be regulated to the ground. Regulation may cause some correcting, whipsawing and volatility, but I doubt it would be shut down. The government probably has more incentive than anyone else to keep bitcoin at a very high price. After all, the government runs around arresting hackers who generally have a sizeable holding of Bitcoin, or similar currencies. Go look at how much they nabbed from Dread Pirate Roberts from the Silk Road arrest(although this was in Bitcoins hayday and their sell timing wasn’t too great here).
If it does get regulated to the ground, smart money will just hop ship to more anonymous routes/exchanges and use a currency such as Monero.
The better question is can the government shutdown cryptocurrencies?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2784720.msg29379677#msg29379677Hacking and phishing attacks are among the biggest security threats to your cryptocurrencies, so you must set strong passwords for your wallets and all accounts that deal with cryptocurrencies.
Keep these tips in mind when setting up or using your bitcoin accounts:
Use different passwords for every account you use to limit any damage that can be done by hackers.
Use a unique email when opening accounts on each exchange and only use that email address for that specific exchange.
Enable two-factor authentication for your exchange accounts. This adds a software to your smartphone which adds extra security to your account. Without two-factor authentication, a hacker only needs your username and password to empty your balance.
Don’t store your wallets and passwords in the same place or an attacker can gain access to both your passwords and your wallet at the same time.
Never mention what exchange or wallet you use on social media or online forums. Any information you post online can be turned against you.
Maintain backups of your bitcoin wallets and recovery phrases to ensure your coins aren’t lost for good if something happens to your main device. External hard drives, USB sticks, and encrypted backup files can be used to secure your recovery options and programs like VeraCrypt can encrypt these sensitive files.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2784720.msg29262265#msg29262265There are many things you can do to protect your bitcoin. that's where the password is, your password is long and does not match your name so they have no clue to your password. Many people get into the habit of choosing the same password for all of their online accounts. This puts your Bitcoins at risk. Choose a strong password for your Bitcoin wallet. You can use software like 1password or Roboform to create and store your passwords for you – this way you will never use the same password twice ever again.

Most online Bitcoin wallets provide the option of a 2 factor authentication process. This means that whenever you log on you’re required to authenticate yourself with an additional step other than your password. Most of the time this will be a verification text message sent to your phone. Even though this may feel cumbersome at times, using 2 factor authentication reduces the risk of theft drastically.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1672881.msg29228383#msg29228383Bitcoin’s circulation is not large enough to power an entire country let alone the world. It can become a de facto standard of moving wealth/value, but will remain so as a fatherless/motherless currency (at best).
Bitcoin has its fair share of problem (confirmation takes too much time, the 51% forking issue remains, number of transactions per second is limited, block size issues, etc.)
It will most likely not die. It will definitely become an important currency to allow cross-border trade amongst various facets of business society, from free-lancers getting paid, to cross-border remittance rails.
However, it will not be the final straw or the final currency that we will see.
Yes. Bitcoin opened avenues on how peer-to-peer value exchange can be done (using the blockchain).
But all these are problems Bitcoin Version 2.0 could solve and be adopted. Who knows the next variant of LiteCoin or Dash or Ethereum’s Ethers could be exactly what we are looking at. The concept of Bitcoin gets my Yes vote for the future of money. Governments will realize the power (and benefits) of digital money - some already are, but cash and other paper instruments still remain. At some point in time governments might just issue their own version of the bitcoin enabling transactions without the need of intermediaries. I think that's true. Bitcoin has captured market opportunities so well. The increasing trend of internet users worldwide becomes a strategic moment of Bitcoin's presence. Especially with the development of the potential of global e-commerce business that encourages the global community to conduct cross-country trade transactions.
In the era of global commerce, the public needs an easier, faster, safer, transparent, efficient, and most reliable base exchange. They believe bitcoin technology is capable of replacing banking technology systems that require resources, cost enormous, time-consuming and vulnerable correction of human error in recording all world financial transactions. Bitcoin is seen as more practical and fitting as an alternative option as a currency.
