It is true. The new marketing tactics for most ICO projects nowadays is to conduct  airdrop to create hype for the project. And this creates a false hype and fomo.
Most of the ICOs had been in the red and not making extravagant profits like in the past. So everyone has to be more selective nowadays

i think it already is centralized with the possibility of a decentralized out if that centralization becomes too obvious. bitcoin could use a genuine scare to reinforce what it should all be about.

hmmmm you slipped my mind about this! The bitcoin dominance index has fallen below 50 percent for the first time since October last year as crypts in markets such as Ethereal, Litecoin and Ripple have performed very strongly over the past few weeks. although bitcoin always dominates because of its artistry in this crypto world we still have to be careful. because in the world of kripto anything can happen there is nothing impossible dam we also have to quickly Think on your feet if at any time repeated again.

Of course it's possible, to got into cryptocurrency world, every people can join and participate, not because they're educated or not, as long as they're can be taught and have the money for investment, they can join

Don't hesitate, it's not too late to buy bitcoins, and the price of bitcoin hasn't reached its value yet.
Now more and more people around the world are buying bitcoin, recognizing its value, and it's going to break $20,000 in the future, and we're going to get a higher return.

I get the inspiration to work harder and own at least one bitcoin anytime a leader admits the loopholes in the banking system. I get the feeling that they will soon start recognizing bitcoin and the blockchain as the only ways to provide better services. I like Mark Carney’s thoughts about the prospects of the blockchain.

Bitcoin Gold and Super Bitcoin are hugely premined coins with close associations to scams (arguably scams themselves).  They're worth ignoring.

As for Bitcoin Cash, I'd say it's better for some purposes and not as good for others.  For the highest possible security in sending huge amounts, I would use Bitcoin because it has:

-The most PoW to protect it (okay, this is somewhat caused by first mover advantage, but it's very difficult to decide exactly which other coin to move to so BTC stays at the top, and for now is the best)
-The most experienced and arguably conservative development team(s).

For convenience in sending small amounts and merchant transaction, I might be happy to use BCH depending on the circumstances.

They do not realize what is the true uses of bitcoin, bitcoin created to become currency to solve the problem in payment system that bank uses, bitcoin supposed to become a global currency and not a currency of some specific person and they are also used bitcoin for greediness and selfishness. sad to say this is reality.   

I do agree its not about investors the huge manipulation is done by whales they are making strategy whether pump or dump the bitcoin . Lots of people entering crypto space to become millionaire in over night . Recent trend shows people who entered crypto currency in 2018 got huge losses .

In everythings that we wanted to have into our life, patience is one of the personal traits that we needed. Having patience is very important in reaching one's accomplishments in life like what others said that patience is the key of our success and I believe to that.  If we like something else to have then we must patiently working on it just to have it. Not all the things that we want is not easily to have, most of it we need to working hard to if before we reach it so in doing that we need to have patience.

btc and other cryptos has been introduced into the futures market and also some exchanges provide the short sell option of them which can damage the price and make them fall very badly.

I think the main goal was decentralization, which we are accomplishing nicely.

    If bitcoin is managed well by our country it will help to reduced the poverty. It will makes life of every one more better. It will make the future of young people brighter and i think bitcoin will become their way to meet their goal in life and to be successful someday. A lot of benefits bitcoin can gave to us if we continue to support,trust,believe and patronized it.

Its a very good news to us it means that they are supporting cryptocurrency and others who are skeptic about this thing will trust the move of Samsung. It can raise awareness about crypto's and for those who thinks that its only a joke, digital assets are not real then they will consider this a game changer.
If it will base on the article, they want to be a supplier.

my only advice would have been only invest what you can spare. as you said yourself education is more important so why would you do that.
hope you it will all work out for you. but also hope you have a backup plan if it doesn't

Of course it can die prematurely - in case nobody believes in its value anymore and stops trading it. This is very unlikely however :-)

Inflation depends on the price of the commodities, demands, supplies etc. Bitcoin cannot effect the demands or supplies for any goods or services (allmost all). So, only the price is left out. But the price mostly depends on the demands and supplies. I don't understand how come Bitcoin effects the inflation. Yes, I agree BTC or other cryptos can effect the economy of a country but I don't believe it would be the inflation.

It is not known what will happen to the price of bitcoin. I think that in the near future you do not need to buy bitcoin, as it is possible to reduce the price. I think that the growth of bitcoin price will be only at the end of the year.

The max_block_size was non-existent, and when implemented was significantly above average daily transaction demands.
